C2298 What a Pity

Wu Dayu was also disappointed by the ability of the city guards. That was an army of three hundred thousand, but it didn't even last a night before the city was breached. This really disappointed him.

Obviously, Li Yuangu and Wu Dayu still didn't know the real reason why the city gate was breached. The main reason was that the entire city was in chaos, and those soldiers who were responsible for opening the gates earlier... They had all died in the chaos of war. No one else had seen them, so naturally, no one came to report to them.

Therefore, Li Yuangu and Wu Dayu both thought that it was because the strength of the guards in the city wasn't enough that the city gate was broken through. Both of them were very disappointed in the strength of the guards in the city.

At this moment, Li Yuangu's personal guards quietly nudged him. Li Yuangu, who was angry, finally reacted. Now was not the time to chat here. This city was already very dangerous. He had to leave as soon as possible.

Therefore, Li Yuangu hastily said to Wu Dayu, "Wu City Lord, I'll bring some men to the east gate to provide support. As for the west gate, I'll leave it to you."

"Alright." Wu Dayu answered heavily and promised solemnly, "I will buy more time for the people in the city to retreat and block the people of the Fengjue Country. Even if they die here, they will not let the people of the Fengjue Country pass easily."

Wu Dayu had made up his mind to die. The strength of the Great Lu Dynasty army... They were inferior to the Fengjue Country to begin with, and now, under such circumstances... Their combat strength could not be used much. They wanted to stop the soldiers of the Fengjue Country from advancing. They would definitely have to pay a huge price.

However, Wu Dayu didn't choose to retreat, nor did he choose to abandon the civilians in the city and leave alone. Instead, he chose to leave. He brought his men with him, with the determination to die. To go. The army that blocked the Fengjue Country tried their best to buy as much time as possible for the civilians in the city to retreat.

Of course, Wu Dayu did not know that he was also buying time for Li Yuangu to retreat. He didn't know that Li Yuangu was preparing to leave this place with his men. At this moment, if their commander fled first, it would be a huge blow to their morale. Wu Dayu believed that Li Yuangu must have understood this as well. At this moment... He would never run away by himself.

However, Wu Dayu had obviously misjudged Li Yuangu. From beginning to end, Li Yuangu had never thought of fighting the Fengjue Country together with the guards in the city. Especially when the people of the Fengjue Country had already entered the city.

When Li Yuangu saw Wu Dayu's impassioned face, a trace of shame emerged in his heart. After all, the enemy had done what he had never done.

However, this trace of shame quickly disappeared, and was replaced by mockery. What kind of strength was the Fengjue Country? He believed that Li Yuangu knew. At this time, he still chose to fight head-on with the army of the Fengjue Country. He simply had no brain. Besides dying here, there wouldn't be any other result. Furthermore, even if Wu Dayu died in battle, it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the army of the Fengjue Country. It wouldn't change the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, in Li Yuangu's opinion, Wu Dayu's decision was undoubtedly foolish. In the end, he could only die in vain. It would be better for him to stay alive and find other ways to deal with the people of the Fengjue Country.

However, Li Yuangu didn't say anything to stop Wu Dayu. In fact, he even hoped that Wu Dayu would hurry over. After all, Wu Dayu was an important figure. With him here... If that was the case... It'll be more convenient when you're on the run.

Furthermore, the city had been breached, and this place had lost the war. Someone must have come out to take the blame. Li Yuangu felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. Therefore, he naturally didn't want to take the blame. In that case, Wu Dayu, this City Lord, was the most suitable candidate. After all, Wu Dayu was the City Lord here, and he had the right to be the scapegoat. If it was someone else, the Emperor might not believe it.

And with Wu Dayu taking the blame and sharing the anger of the Emperor, Li Yuangu believed that he would be fine in the end.

Therefore, Li Yuangu naturally hoped that Wu Dayu would stop the people of the Fengjue Country as soon as possible, and then die on the battlefield. In this way, he would have a lot of room to maneuver.

Thinking of this, Li Yuangu cupped his hands to Wu Dayu and said with a serious face, "Raising troops for a thousand days is a temporary use of troops. The Emperor usually treats us well. Now is the time for us to share the burden of the Emperor. You and I will fight the enemy together today. It will also let those people of the Fengjue Country know that there are good men in our Great Lu Dynasty! "

Li Yuangu spoke with a loud and clear voice, and his face was solemn. When Wu City Lord heard this, he became excited. He was already prepared to die, but now, he saw that Li Yuangu actually had the same thoughts and cooking as him. He suddenly felt like he was not alone, and he became even more energetic.

"I, Wu Dayu, am truly fortunate to be able to get to know Minister Li. I am able to fight alongside him. It's my honor. If I can leave this place alive... I will follow Minister Lee to the end of my life. " Wu Dayu said. Obviously, Wu Dayu, who had never joined Wu Yan, now, he had the idea of moving closer to Minister.

Li Yuangu's heart skipped a beat, and he even wanted to pull him away right now. After all, to be able to get a civil servant, it was also City Lord's support. To him, it was not easy. He really didn't want the other party to die just like that.

However, in the end, he didn't say anything to stop the other party. Instead, he cupped his hands and led his men towards the east.

Li Yuangu didn't dare to speak. He knew that the other party wanted to rely on him. He was only provoked by his' hot-blooded '. Once the other party knew that he wasn't going to the east to fight the enemy, if he wanted to escape from the east gate, he was afraid that the other party would turn hostile in an instant. At that time, not only would he not be able to get the enemy's support, but he would also be able to escape from the east gate. In fact, they might even go against each other.

Therefore, even if he was tempted, Li Yuangu didn't say anything to stop the other party from "sending himself to his death." Instead, he left with his personal guards.

"What a pity!" Li Yuangu sighed in his heart as he walked.

It was not easy for City Lord to take the initiative to seek refuge, but the result was like this. He felt that it was a pity. However, he had no way to change this outcome. Therefore, he could only sigh.

Wu Dayu looked at Li Yuangu's back as he left. He became even more determined. He waved his hand at the people around him and said, "Let's go!"

After that, he took the lead and headed west. He looked like a general rushing to the battlefield, not a civil servant.

After parting with Wu Dayu, Li Yuangu did not think about Wu Dayu anymore. After all, in his opinion, Wu Dayu was dead for sure. The other party had also made up his mind to die, wasting his time thinking about the matter of a dead man. At this moment, it was obviously unnecessary.

Li Yuangu brought his men and went straight to the east gate. However... Soon, he realized that the situation was not looking good. Because... On the road to the east gate, there were people everywhere. Obviously, many people had already received the news that the people from the Fengjue Country had come in from the west gate. Therefore, everyone wanted to leave from the east gate. This also caused the current congestion. They had yet to reach the east gate. They were already blocked.

"Move aside, move aside!" At this moment, Li Yuangu's personal guards were all standing on his left and right, helping him open up a path.2

However, there were too many people around. There were too many of them, so it was impossible for them to walk. There were so many people around, so it was impossible for them to clear a path.

"Sir, what should we do?" The captain of the personal guards asked Li Yuangu.

They were now stuck in the middle of the road, and at the west gate... No one knew how many of them had already entered. Those Fengjue Country soldiers who had already entered were killing people everywhere. Once those soldiers rushed here, none of them would be able to escape.

"Reveal your identity. Anyone who dares to block the way will be killed without mercy!" Li Yuangu said in a domineering manner.

At this moment, it was useless to reason with the others. Everyone wanted to escape, so who would listen to his nonsense? Therefore, at this time, he could only use his identity. So that these people could move aside on their own accord, if they were still unwilling to move aside... He didn't mind using force. In any case, he wouldn't be willing to be blocked by anyone.

"Alright!" The captain said.

After that, the captain shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone in front, move aside! Minister of War, Li Yuangu, Master Li is here! Everyone, get out of the way! "

However, at this moment, the scene was in chaos. All kinds of voices mixed together, making it look very panicked. Except for the people beside Li Yuangu and the others, the others who were slightly further away could not hear him at all.

"All of you, help me shout!" Li Yuangu said to the other personal guards.

"Master Minister of War and Master Lee are here. Those who are not involved, get out of the way!"

The other personal guards also shouted at the top of their lungs. This time, their voices were heard from a distance.

When they heard Li Yuangu's identity, many of them subconsciously wanted to make way for him. After all, these people, whether it was the civilians with a crew cut or the wandering soldiers, were unmotivated. They were in awe of Minister of War's identity. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to block Li Yuangu's path.

However, there were too many people around them. Even if some of them were to give way, they wouldn't dare to do so. Li Yuangu and the others could only squeeze in the crowd. Slowly moving forward, Li Yuangu and the others were obviously not satisfied with this speed.

The pursuers behind them could catch up at any time. Li Yuangu and the others did not want to waste a second here. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.
