Chapter.33 Ma Ai’s Retreat!!

On a hill overlooking the plateau of the right Tianlong watched as bodies were buried or cremated, it was a sad sight, soon a messenger from the center had arrived and asked for a report of what happened.

Tianlong looked at the messenger before saying. Tell Commander Fengxian that the right has achieved victory and shall rush forward to pincer the enemies center!! Requesting a small force to detain the surrendered soldiers but they shall not be treated badly!

Messenger: this one understands general!!

Tianlong: ALL FORCES PREPARE TO MARCH FORWARD!! WE SHALL PINCER THE ENEMY CENTER AND ACHIEVE THE VICTORY WE ALL VIED FOR!!!....

Night had fallen but it didn't hide the sound but embraced it as thousands of soldiers cheered for their victory from the right.

Within a tent, on the enemy side, 7 figures sat within and argued back and forth about who was wrong but was silenced by Ma Ai

Ma Ai: ENOUGH!!! ITS ALL OUR FAULTS THAT WE UNDERESTIMATED THE RIGHT SIDES GENERAL!! But to make up for that we shall compose a plan to stop the rights pincer!!

Wei Zhou: My lord let this lowly one with 500 shields defend the pass leading from the right!!!

Ma Ai immediately shook his head and said you can't Zhiwu you command the entire center's infantry and they only listen to you so that's out of the question!!

Song Ai: my lord!! We can seal the pass and trap the right on its flank, but they would either join up with the center or left!!

Before Ma Ai could say anything, a tall looking figure stood, and bellowed my lord!!! let me lead 500 of my brothers and stall for the center to retreat and set up on the hill behind us!!!

Ma Ai: are you sure Jichou?

Jichou: this general is sure!!! All I ask for the lord is to protect my tribe!!!

Ma Ai: so be it send word to the left and tell them to retreat to the hill!!! Have the center prepare for we march within the night!!!
