Xu Da escaped, perhaps for him, this was called a strategic transfer.
The remaining thousand or so cavalrymen followed closely behind.
The war horses galloped all the way, but Feng Sheng suddenly said with some regret: "We have failed the emperor's grace. First, we were defeated and captured by Zhang Wuji, and then we strategically transferred and abandoned General Tang He."
"It would be fine if we were just insignificant little people, but we are either marshals or generals, and future generations will definitely leave a mark for us in the history books."
"It would be fine if we had no descendants, but we still have descendants alive. After dozens or hundreds of years, their spines will be broken by others."
Fu Youde said: "General Feng is overthinking it. We first fought a fierce battle with the Japanese in Ningde, and wiped out 200,000 Japanese troops in one battle. Zhang Wuji took advantage of our exhaustion to launch a surprise attack, and we also fought to exhaustion and unfortunately became prisoners of war. Then we escaped from Zhang Wuji's cage, and fought to the death for His Majesty. Finally, we had to make a strategic shift due to our lack of strength."
"This is roughly what happened. Is it embarrassing?"
"Throughout the ages, we are the only few who have fought against overseas invasions, and we have achieved great victories. With this military achievement, even if those bastards who write history books cannot be realistic, they will not smear us too badly."
"As for what you said about your descendants having their spines broken, that is completely false. There are many more disgusting people in this world than us. If our Majesty wins this war, we will be famous in history for our military exploits in annihilating the Japanese. Even if your Majesty is defeated, there are more than just a few of us generals in the Wei Dynasty."
"Even the famous general Li Jing was once a surrendered member of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, wasn't he?"
"There is no point in thinking too much about future generations. If the younger generations are capable, they can just go and win fame and fortune on their own. If they are not, they can just farm at home. After a few decades, who will know who they are?"
What Fu Youde said was the absolute truth. After hearing this truth, the other three people became much more open-minded.
Xu Da said: "Things have come to this point. There is no point in thinking too much. Let's save our lives first. We can deal with the future later."
…
Thousands of riders left in a cloud of dust, without any trace of nostalgia. Tang He, who had become a piece of fish on the chopping board, saw all of this.
"They are not loyal. These four bastards are not loyal either."
Tang He first roared to the sky, and then shouted a few insults for being unfair.
But Zhao Min laughed and said, "It's indeed a bit unfair. I thought those four bastards would come to save you."
"But now I think that people who have been prisoners will become much smarter. At least, they have learned the principle of protecting themselves."
Zhao Linger on the side said: "Sister Min'er, now is not the time to talk nonsense with Tang He. Hurry up and go back to help our young master. The situation over there may be very dangerous."
Zhao Min glanced at her, then smiled playfully: "Sister, I am now the marshal of the army. I have the final say on when to return to support. You are urging me like this. Do you want to stage a drama of the harem interfering in politics in front of me?"
"What's more, the tone of your voice is wrong. You clearly need a favor from me, so why are you being so tough?"
Zhao Linger was stunned for a moment: "Sister Min'er, do you want me to kneel down for you?"
"Okay, sister, I beg you, please come back to help the young master, I kowtow to you."
As she spoke, Zhao Linger was so shameless that she was about to kneel down.
This startled Zhao Min, and she quickly supported Zhao Linger and said, "Sister, what do you mean? I was just joking, you've gone a bit too far."
…
In fact, Zhao Min also knew that there was no time to delay, and this battle did not cause too many casualties to the Wei army.
Because most of the Wei army soldiers had already collapsed and were on the run, if they continued to chase them, the results of the battle would definitely be greatly expanded. However, Zhang Wuji behind him was also in a critical moment.
The war horses galloped towards the rear to provide support. The cavalry was in front, less than ten miles away, and the infantry followed closely.
Zhao Min, who was on horseback, looked sideways and said, "Sister, were you really going to kneel down to me just now?"
Zhao Linger said: "Yes, for Zhang Wuji, I don't feel ashamed."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "What would have happened to me if I hadn't helped you just now?"
Zhao Linger rolled her eyes at her and said, "Those two girls, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun, are still watching us. If you dare not help me and really make me kneel down, I will make you pay back many times over after this matter is over."
"I won't say I'm going to do you any harm, or even mistreat you. I'm just going to make you lose face in front of all the sisters. I'm going to make you feel embarrassed even to go out."
Zhao Min said: "I believe what you said, sister, but you knew I was joking with you, but you still took it so seriously. That's your fault."
Zhao Linger sighed: "Sister Min'er, some jokes can be made, but some jokes are absolutely not allowed."
"The young master doesn't belong to me alone, he belongs to all of us. No joking when it comes to the young master's safety."
…
Less than ten miles away, Zhao Min's cavalry saw the battlefield where the bloodbath was taking place in a little over a quarter of an hour.
At this moment, the more than 10,000 Ming army soldiers under Zhang Wuji were already at a disadvantage.
If this continues, it won't be long before we end up in such a disastrous situation.
Even with Emperor Zhang Wuji personally leading the charge, the situation was somewhat unstable.
Fortunately, Zhao Min finally came back.
Countless cavalry soldiers rushed into the Wei army's camp in an instant. With the support of these cavalry, the situation was quickly stabilized.
"My enemy, you didn't run away? I really underestimated you."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Min fiercely: "You Mongolian vixen, I can tell you have bad intentions, why did you come to rescue me only now?"
"Zhang Wuji tried to help you, but he almost lost his life."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Give me a helping hand? Do you still remember the scene when we first met a few years ago? If this enemy was really willing to lend me a helping hand, the world would have belonged to my Yuan Dynasty long ago. Why did he treat me like this?"
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, you really got what you said wrong just now. It was Min'er who helped me."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him fiercely: "You rascal, it's already this time and you're still praising her in front of me. I've carried you through life and death for so many years, and even now, you seem to have never praised me."
