How should I put it?
If the opposing side were enemies, that would be one thing; there would be no issue with attacking them.
Their positions were fundamentally different.
They were sworn enemies to the death.
However, they were both from the Imperial Court's army. Their own side was fleeing, and the enemy was still far behind. At such a time, they should have saved as many as they could, opening a path, right?
Yet, Su Ming refused to do so.
It was unclear whether he was worried that too many refugees would affect the food supplies in Yunjin County or whether he wanted the soldiers and civilians of Pingshan County to deplete some of the rebel forces' strength. Whatever the reason, he blocked their way.
The result was not bad, though.
The strength of Pingshan County was completely depleted.
Xiao Chengfeng and Yu Changlie, carrying injuries, fled with only a small group of people.
They had consumed nearly four thousand troops of the Red Lotus Army.
