Chapter 185 – Battle of Liyang - Part 15
Tong snapped out of his thought and looked at Xu Huang.
"Go and tell everyone. Prepare to retreat to Liyang City. They should begin retreating tonight. As for the weaponry, I'll transport them to the city myself."
Xu Huang looked at Tong in confusion. They had the advantage here, why would his lord order a retreat?
"I know what you're thinking. Do what I said."
"Y-Yes, sir!"

That night, Tong's troops withdrew back to garrison inside Liyang City. Tong took the duty as the cleaner as he stored all weaponry into his [Inventory], such as catapults, ballistae, trebuchets, spike barricades, and ammunition.
The retreat decision made the soldiers questioned Tong's judgment as they had the advantage on the battlefield, yet Tong went against it.
"Is our commander inept?"
"We had the better ground, right?"
