However, Ji Youzhi and Xiaosuisui both ignored her.
Ji Youzhi looked at the flas coming from the south of the city heading all the way north.
He directly told Dugu with a smile, "Mo’Er’s n are about to reach the north of the city. Notify everyone to prepare for evacuation!"
Dugu acknowledged his words.
"I’ve already ordered Deputy General Wang to allocate five hundred Imperial Guards to protect you and the clear-minded citizens for a retreat to the north!"
Ji Youzhi shook his head, rejecting his decision, "No! We must try to save the alert citizens, awaken the assimilated ones, but we cannot confront Mo’Er head-on. The Imperial Guard must withdraw completely!"
Dugu disagreed with Ji Youzhi’s decision.
"No way!
If you all leave, I have to defend Yunhang County Town for him!
Otherwise, once Mo’Er occupies Yunhang County Town, he’ll advance straight into the Central Plains."
Dugu clearly understood the stakes involved.
"You’re insane, two thousand five against ten thousand, and so many assimilated people, are you trying to die?"
Ji Youzhi criticized him, disapproving of his decision!
"Who in the world wants to die, but we cannot retreat! Once we retreat, what will happen to the pass behind us?
What about the cities behind us?
What about the countless citizens?
As soldiers, we must bear the lives of all the people on our shoulders!"
Dugu wore an expression ready to face death bravely, prepared to lay down his life on the battlefield.
Seeing this expression on Dugu, Ji Youzhi was deeply moved, reaching out to pat his shoulder.
"Trust , we will retreat to the best of our abilities, avoid innocent casualties, withdraw to the pass behind. There, a grand army will be fortified, and we’ll eliminate Mo’Er in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing these words from Ji Youzhi, Dugu couldn’t help but be moved.
"Where did you get this idea?"
"Isn’t this the best choice?
If you don’t retreat, these many brothers will definitely all die here!"
"But you must understand, once I retreat, Mo’Er will march all the way north straight into the Central Plains!
You say we should retreat to the northern pass, but do you know how many guards there are at the northern pass?"
"Of course I know!"
"You don’t know anything you fool!
There are only two thousand defenders at the Hundred Changes Pass, just two thousand!
Mo’Er has a ten thousand, plus these citizens whose Witch Power we haven’t dispersed in ti; once they’re organized into an army, even thirty or fifty thousand won’t be a stretch!"
There are many citizens in Yunhang County, with a total population of over a hundred thousand, and currently half are unconscious!
"It’s exactly because the number of soldiers Mo’Er brought from Nanjiang is considerable, plus the assimilated citizens here are too many, that’s why I want you to retreat. Do you believe that if you don’t retreat now, once Mo’Er’s army hits, within an hour all of us will beco his dead souls under his blade!"
Upon hearing Dugu’s words, Ji Youzhi beca anxious, so when he spoke, his voice was much louder!
"If you’re afraid of death, you can leave now. I won’t stop you. Five hundred soldiers have been allocated by Deputy General Liu, take the Princess and Miss Xie with you and retreat north together."
Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Dugu couldn’t help feeling disappointed!
"What nonsense are you talking about?
Who’s terrified of dying?
I’m asking you to order the retreat, and we retreat together to the northern pass to hold the fort. As long as the northern pass holds, Mo’Er can’t enter the Central Plains!"
"You’re really dreaming, with so few soldiers at the northern pass, how can we hold it?
Quickly take the Princess with you, find a way to summon reinforcents here near Yugu Pass, I can hold them off for a while, but only for a while!
As long as I have a breath left, I will never retreat one bit, the northern pass further north, will be up to you!"
When he said the last sentence, Dugu seed to have used up all his strength.
