After hearing this, Lan Yu was silent for a moment.
He knew Xu Da's friendship with Zhu Yuanzhang. The two of them complemented each other and had the gratitude of begging together. After decades of friendship, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to make Xu Da betray Zhu Yuanzhang. But at this time, gratitude was of no use. Winning this battle was the right thing to do.
Lan Yu continued, "Marshal, we should put other things aside for now. Winning this battle is the most important thing. If we can't win, you should also think of a way to protect yourself."
"Your identity is different from Feng Sheng and Fu Youde."
"Those two bastards, whether they surrender or die, will have a certain impact on our Great Wei, but the impact will not be too big. But it is different for you. You are the commander-in-chief. If you die in battle or are captured alive, the Great Wei will be shocked from top to bottom, and it may even cause an avalanche-like defeat."
After Xu Da swallowed his breath, he repeated what he had just said: "I know, I know everything, but what else can I do in this situation?"
"What else can we do besides defending Fuzhou?"
Lan Yuyan said: "Defend Fuzhou to the death? Marshal, judging from the current situation, Fuzhou cannot be defended."
"But even if Fuzhou loses, we must make its loss worthwhile."
"Zhang Wuji and others are powerful, but no matter how powerful a person is, there is a limit to how many people he can kill. There are still about 80,000 defenders in Fuzhou. Not to mention so many people, even if it is 80,000 pigs, it is beyond the ability of Zhang Wuji and a few masters to kill them all."
"We must kill as many troops outside the city as possible before Fuzhou falls. It would be best if we could fight Zhang Wuji to a mutual defeat. Even if our entire army is wiped out, we must tear a piece of flesh off Zhang Wuji. In this way, his army will lose the value of threatening our emperor."
"As for Zhang Dingbian's troops, Your Majesty can handle it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xu Da smiled and said, "General Lan, I actually thought so too, but I just haven't made up my mind yet."
"I'm a little reluctant to part with the troops I have."
Lan Yu said helplessly: "General, since the battle with the Japanese began, we have lost almost 100,000 people. Now that 100,000 people are gone, why should we care about the 80,000 people under our command now."
"What's more, it's impossible to protect all of our 80,000 people."
"After all, we have been surrounded, and all the soldiers in the army are in danger of death."
"Instead of sitting down and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death."
After hearing this, Xu Da showed a sneer on his face: "The position on the top of the city is almost impossible to defend. In this case, why don't we rush out of Fuzhou before the situation is out of control."
"Now, all the generals under Zhang Wuji have come to attack the city, and Zhang Wuji himself is also here."
After hearing this, Lan Yu seemed to have thought of something: "Marshal, I understand what you mean."
"I saw it just now. Now, outside the city of Fuzhou, there is only Zhao Min. After all, she is just a woman. She stayed outside the city to hold the fort. Can she hold down a camp of tens of thousands of people by herself?"
Xu Da nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the city now to integrate the troops. When the time is right, just listen to my orders. As soon as you hear my orders, you lead the army out of the city, and I will follow."
Lan Yu nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I will do it right away."
…
In fact, Lan Yu was eager to lead his army out of Fuzhou City. If he stayed in the city, he would surely die. Moreover, if he stayed in the city, he would have to face Zhang Wuji, Zhao Linger, Han Yulou, Duan Zihao, and other masters. But if he rushed out of the city, he would only have to face Zhao Min. Now, there was no one around Zhao Min who could fight, and she herself was the only one who had some skills.
Overall, it is much more cost-effective to deal with Zhao Min alone.
…
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lan Yu had already integrated his troops in Fuzhou City, while the city wall where Xu Da was located was littered with corpses. If it weren't for the hundreds of personal guards who fought to the death to protect him, he would have been captured by Zhang Wuji and others long ago.
Looking at the one-sided scene in front of him, Xu Da couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, it came to this point. However, if Zhao Min could be killed in this battle by chance, the Wei Dynasty would most likely be preserved.
Because even if Xu Da died, he would not believe that Zhao Min's three Doyan guards would still be loyal to Zhang Wuji after her death as they were loyal to her.
…
The situation had reached a critical point, and this was exactly what Xu Da was waiting for.
A sneer finally appeared on the corner of Xu Da's mouth. Now Zhang Wuji and others were already deeply involved in the fierce battle on the city wall, and it would be difficult for them to get out for a while.
This is the best time for the entire army to leave the city and kill Zhao Min.
Xu Da on the top of the city wall suddenly raised the battle flag and shouted "Kill". Then, hundreds of Wei soldiers surrounded Zhang Wuji and many other masters.
However, Zhang Wuji and the others did not feel that there was anything wrong with this. They just thought it was Xu Da's counterattack before his death.
But what surprised them was that immediately afterwards, a burst of shouts and cries that resounded through the heavens and earth came from the direction behind them.
At this moment, Lan Yu had already opened the city gate of Fuzhou, and the Wei army soldiers were desperately charging out.
Zhao Min in front of the Ming army camp was a little flustered.
She quickly waved to the soldiers behind her and said, "Don't panic, charge forward. We can't let these Wei troops attack us."
At this moment, Zhao Min felt a little ashamed. Zhang Wuji gave her all the command of the army, but Zhao Min made a mistake again. Last time, she failed to capture Xu Da alive. This time, she didn't expect Xu Da to have the courage to attack. The most crucial thing was that she didn't have a general around her, and she was still in a weak state.
Zhao Min whispered, "Damn Zhang Wuji, I've already told you not to do things like that during wartime. It's obvious that you're trying to destroy yourselves."
Then she said to Su Tanmei beside her: "Sister, you should retreat quickly and find a safe place with Li Yao. Don't be captured alive by the Wei army. Otherwise, with your little appearance, it will be difficult for you to die."
Zhao Min had just finished saying this when Li Yao beside her pulled Su Tanmei's arm and said, "Sister Su, come with me quickly. This is not the place for us to stay. If people like us stay, it will only distract Sister Min'er."
