Chapter 1033 – Bayan Dies
Bayan thought about it, and in the end, he was unwilling to retreat just like that. Fleeing without fighting was a huge humiliation to a Mongol warrior and Bayan would not take that.
"Gather our troops and get ready to face the enemy!" Bayan gave the order.
Zhang Hongfan was helpless and could only listen to the order.
The Mongols were said to be attacking Lin'an with the million army, but in truth, only around 600 thousand left their six bases. After the successive battles, they lost close to 100 thousand of them.
In the blink of an eye, apart from the 200 thousand troops defending the north side, each other side was left with 100 thousand troops.
This also meant that even if Bayan gathered up the entire south side army, he could only gather up 100 thousand men. Furthermore, the army had just backed down from the frontlines and returned to their camps. To gather them up once more was a hugely difficult matter.
