"Everyone outside is waiting, aren't they? Let them come in!" Zhi Wei said.
"Yes!" Crown Prince Zhi You said and then went out to summon them.
Moments later, dozens of high-ranking generals entered the tent, with the lowest rank being deputy commanders of ten thousand troops.
The deputy commander bowed and said, "Duke, under the current circumstances, should we retreat to Baiyun County or should we continue to hold our ground? Please instruct us."
By this time, no one was suggesting proactively launching an attack on the city anymore, for it was impossible.
Duke Zhi Wei asked, "How many men do we have left now?"
"Over sixty thousand," the deputy commander said.
Duke Zhi Wei closed his eyes. He had over sixty thousand troops at his disposal; Suo Lun probably had about the same, maybe even less than sixty thousand.
If it were for safety, they should retreat to Baiyun County City.
