Chapter 49 Iron Stream

Wang Zhong: "Thank you for the concern, Duke. Although we did request support in our telegram, we never expected to encounter the relief troops so soon."

"We didn't expect it either. We were planning on fighting a night battle against the enemy, but unexpectedly, they stayed away from the highway encampments all along the way. As we marched, we set up defensive positions along the roadside, and that's how we managed to rush over here." Skudzheski scratched his head, "Why didn't the enemy encamp by the roadside?"

Wang Zhong, feigning innocence, said, "Indeed, why is that?"

But he quickly recalled his recent worries and added, "We still have a large number of troops lagging behind, including the common folk from Orachi who can't move quickly. Once daylight breaks, they will be annihilated by the enemies on either side of the road."
