Zhao Min's sword was already on Tang He's neck: "General, do you have anything else to say?"
Tang He said viciously: "Zhao Min, you really have no shame at all."
"You first tried to persuade me to surrender, and then told me to be patient with me and give me some time. But I had just returned to my soldiers, and you led the army to charge. Don't you really have any qualms about your conscience?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "I do want to give you some time, but I also have my own difficulties. However, it's not that I don't care about this matter."
"All is fair in war. Back then, you and Zhang Wuji teamed up to fight against me, forcing me to fight on two fronts. Do you feel uneasy about this?"
Zhao Linger said: "Sister, why are you saying these things to a defeated general?"
"Are you going to kill Tang He or not?"
Zhao Min hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's keep it for now and show it to Zhu Yuanzhang."
When the name Zhu Yuanzhang was mentioned, Zhao Linger hurriedly said: "Sister, the situation over there may not be good, let's go back to help."
Zhao Min glanced at the battlefield and said, "Wait a quarter of an hour. Although the Wei army has been defeated, they are still gathered together. Let our soldiers chase them and kill some of them. In this way, they will gather again in a short time.
…
On the other side, less than ten miles behind Zhao Min, Zhu Yuanzhang had led his army into a stalemate with Zhang Wuji.
The Ming army soldiers were at a great disadvantage. After all, they had not had any rest for almost two days and had also traveled more than a hundred miles.
Previously, the Ming army was able to block the Wei army that wanted to leave the city for a decisive battle inside the city by relying on its numerical advantage, but the majority of the Wei army had already left the city. How could the Ming army stop them at this moment?
If it weren't for Zhang Wuji fighting in front of the two armies, the more than 10,000 Ming army soldiers under his command would have been defeated immediately.
However, Zhang Wuji had just received the news that Zhao Min had sent back by the scout, so if he could stop it, he would do so.
If they were really killed and dispersed by Zhu Yuanzhang, they would need to regroup their troops and fight again, which would be a very troublesome thing and might also affect the overall situation.
Since Zhao Min has already said so, Zhang Wuji will do his best no matter what.
Not far away, Zhu Yuanzhang was riding a tall horse, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers with bows and arrows.
He knew that Zhang Wuji was surrounded by many experts, and he didn't want to be beheaded by someone in the midst of thousands of troops.
"Kill, kill all these bandits. After this battle, you will be my heroes."
Since the war with Zhang Wuji, the Wei army seemed to have never gained such an advantage. The shadow of the Changsha battle seemed to be still before their eyes, but they never expected that they would turn things around so quickly. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also led the way, so the morale of the Wei army also reached an unprecedented height.
The shouts and cries of killing resounded throughout the world, and Zhou Zhiruo's face was already a little anxious: "My dear, when will Zhao Min come back to help us?"
Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly. I don’t know when she will be able to get rid of Tang He: "But I believe that with Min'er's ability, she should come to support soon. Let's hold on a little longer, fighting and retreating. As long as we are not completely surrounded and killed by Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, there won't be any big problems."
Zhou Zhiruo said worriedly: "My enemy, even if we have not been surrounded to death, our soldiers are already very tired. It may be better if we don't suffer a rout. Once we suffer a rout, I am afraid we may not be able to escape even if we want to."
Yu Fei said: "Sister Zhou, whether we can win this battle does not depend on our side. At this moment, although our soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties, it is not so easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to kill tens of thousands of our soldiers on the battlefield. As long as we grit our teeth and hold on, Sister Min'er will definitely come to support us."
Zhou Zhiruo was speechless. Although she also believed in Zhao Min, she would never say it out loud. But Zhang Wuji and Yu Fei believed in her openly, both in words and in their hearts. The more they did so, the more unhappy Zhou Zhiruo felt.
…
On the other side, on Zhao Min's battlefield.
Xu Da and his four companions had led a cavalry charge before. They had already prepared themselves to become the souls killed by Zhao Min's sword, but what they didn't expect was that Zhao Min didn't pay any attention to them at all, or it could be said that when they charged before, they subconsciously avoided Zhao Min's route.
In short, the four of them have not encountered any major danger so far.
However, when they came to their senses, they found that their own infantry soldiers had collapsed, completely collapsed, completely broken down, and beyond redemption.
Lan Yu, sitting on horseback, glanced into the distance and found that Zhao Min's sword seemed to be placed on Tang He's neck.
"General, look, General Tang has been captured."
Xu Da said: "I saw it."
Feng Shengyan said: "Let's rush over now and rescue General Tang."
Feng Sheng made this suggestion, but it did not get a response from the other three.
Fu Youde said: "We have already lost this battle, and the defeat was not unexpected. As for General Tang, rescuing him will not change the overall situation. Even if we want to rescue him, we may not be able to do so. Who among the four of us has the ability to save someone from Zhao Min's sword?"
Xu Da sighed and said, "General Fu is right. Zhao Min's sword is already on Tang He's neck. No one can save him. If we lead the remaining cavalry to charge, Zhao Min may kill Tang He first and then attack us."
"That would harm him instead."
The three of them were silent for a moment. They were not fools, so they naturally understood the meaning of Xu Da's words.
Fu Youde said: "Even so, let's make a strategic shift."
The other three looked at him sideways, and Lan Yu said, "Yes, we are not running away, but making a strategic shift."
"If we don't move away, I'm afraid all the soldiers around us will become victims of the Ming army's swords."
After all, Xu Da and his three companions had been captives before, and they were also people who wanted to survive, so it was easy for them to reach a consensus.
Looking at the remaining thousand or so cavalrymen fighting around him, Xu Da still gave the final order: "Retreat..."
