After a night of fleeing, the troops of Qiuchi and Dayue had escaped far away.
However, in this great escape, some people ran fast and some ran slow.
The fleeing team was very long.
By daybreak, many people were too exhausted from running and were left far behind the fleeing team.
After a night of fleeing, the soldiers of the two countries may have calmed down, or perhaps they felt that they were far enough away from the enemy, and gradually they were no longer as panicked as before.
At this time, Lou Yi and Yu Tai began to gather the defeated soldiers.
The first to gather were naturally the cavalry running in the front.
Although the cavalry of both countries also suffered heavy casualties, they were much better off than the infantry.
After about an hour, the cavalry units of the two countries were basically gathered together, and at the same time, people were sent to gather the fleeing soldiers who fell behind.
They are unable to count the exact number of people yet.
...
...
However, Qiuchi seems to have slightly more cavalry.
Lou Yi brought his personal guards and Kucha and found Yu Tai again.
"General Yu, when do you plan to set off?"
Lou Yi asked straight to the point.
"We have to wait a little longer."
Yu Tai had been escaping for a whole night, and his face was still very pale. "My troops are too few now. I want to gather tens of thousands more. I want to take this opportunity to let them have a rest..."
"Um."
Lou Yi nodded gently, "Speed is of the essence in war. If General Yu wants to set off, let's set off as soon as possible! In addition, my army still has a small amount of dry food. If the old general needs it, my army can give it to your army..."
uh-huh?
Listening to Lou Yi's words, Yu Tai couldn't help but frown secretly.
Is Lou Yi so kind?
All their food supplies were burned.
At this time, dry food is extremely precious!
Is Lou Yi willing to take out their dry food?
I'm afraid Lou Yi wants me to lead my troops away as soon as possible so that he can swallow up those defeated soldiers who didn't catch up with them?
He knew that an extremely ambitious person like Lou Yi would definitely want to swallow up Qiu Chi's power.
However, I won't give him this opportunity!
"Thank you very much, Your Highness!"
A smile appeared on Yu Tai's pale face, "Your Highness is kind and righteous, I will remember it in my heart!"
"General Yu, you are too polite!"
Lou Yi said solemnly: "We are now on the same boat. As long as we can defeat the Northern Army, everything will be fine! Only by defeating the Northern Army can our two countries avoid the fate of destruction..."
"yes!"
Yu Tai nodded and looked at Lou Yi with admiration: "Your Highness has a farsighted vision that is rarely seen in the world! I admire you!"
"General Yu, you are too serious."
Lou Yi forced a smile and said, "While we still have some time, let's go and take a look around to see where we can defend ourselves better."
"good!"
Yu Tai agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, the two men each took a few of their own generals and climbed to a nearby high place.
When they reached a high place, the two men looked around and discussed where to hold their ground.
Everything seems to be normal.
However, while the two were discussing, Lou Yi suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Yu Tai fiercely.
"clang……"
Seeing that Yu Tai was about to die under Lou Yi's sword, Gondor, who was protecting Yu Tai, suddenly made a move and knocked the sword out of Lou Yi's hand. He then turned around and hit Lou Yi with his mace, but Lou Yi dodged it.
At the same time, Kucha swung his sword at Gondor, forcing Gondor to retreat quickly.
"Lou Yi, you really have bad intentions!"
Yu Tai looked at Lou Yi coldly, with a chill in his eyes.
"This prince has good intentions, but do you appreciate it?"
The real purpose was revealed, Lou Yi looked at Yu Tai coldly, "Yu Tai, this prince thinks you are a handsome man, if you are willing to surrender to my Dayue Kingdom, this prince can spare your life!"
He could see that Yu Tai had indeed been wary of him.
Maybe Yu Tai has the same idea as him.
Yu Tai also wanted to kill him and annex the troops of Dayue Kingdom!
"Your Highness, I also want to give you a piece of advice!"
Yu Tai sneered in response, "You are a talented person, and you are engaged to the Seventh Princess. If Your Highness is willing to surrender to Qiuchi, the King will definitely use you!"
"joke!"
Lou Yi sneered, "I am the heir of Dayue State, and even the throne of Dayue is within my reach. Why would I want to be used by you, Yuan Fu? I think you are getting old and confused!"
"General, don't waste your words on them!" Tie Ju stepped forward with his gun in hand, and said fiercely, "Since he doesn't know what's good for him, let him die!"
"right!"
Gondor stared at Lou Yi with a fierce look on his face, "I want to see, are you stubborn, or..."
puff……
Before Gondor could finish his words, a spear suddenly pierced through his chest from behind.
Gondor's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked down stupidly at the bloody gun tip on his chest.
When Gondor turned his head with difficulty to look behind him, Tieju quickly put away his gun and fired another bullet through Yutai's chest.
It was not until this time that the other two generals of Qiuchi finally came to their senses with difficulty.
"Tieju, you beast!"
A general roared with bloodshot eyes and rushed towards Tieju with murderous intent.
But as soon as he moved, he was stopped by a general from the Dayue Kingdom, and the two men immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Soon, several other people joined the battle.
"you……"
Blood continued to flow out of Yu Tai's mouth, "Why... why?"
Yu Tai seemed not to feel any pain and just looked at Tie Ju in disbelief.
Tieju actually betrayed?
He had planned everything, but he never expected Tieju to betray him.
"Why?"
Tie Ju snorted coldly, his eyes blazing with fire as he growled, "My Tie family has been loyal for generations, and my eldest brother has guarded Tianqiong Pass for many years and has never overstepped his authority! But what did we get in return? Suspicion and a disguised confiscation of military power!"
"Just...just because...of this?"
Blood gushed out of Yu Tai's mouth, and his old face was full of grief and anger.
"Isn't that enough?"
Tie Ju said angrily: "Now that we have been defeated miserably, the emperor's suspicion will only get worse! If my Tie family does not resist, we will end up with the whole family being unjustly killed!"
Yu Tai was cold all over. He raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Tie Ju tremblingly, "You...you..."
Yu Tai really wanted to curse Tie Ju as a traitor, but he couldn't do it anymore.
Blood continued to flow out of Yu Tai's mouth, and Yu Tai's hands fell down dejectedly.
When Tieju put away his gun, Yutai's body, having lost its support, fell to the ground.
Yu Tai kept his eyes wide open, as if he was dying with his eyes open.
At the same time, the other two generals of Qiuchi were also killed by several people from Dayue Kingdom.
Lou Yi looked at Tie Ju with satisfaction and said with a smile: "General Tie, from now on, you are the general of my Dayue Kingdom! Don't worry, this prince is definitely not a tyrant like Yuan Fu!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Tieju slowly knelt down, expressing his submission with the highest etiquette...
