And to the north of Xiujiang Town, Monto was also in trouble at this time.

The Song army was stockpiling more than 50,000 people in Xiujiang Town at this time, and the thousands of children of the Beggars' Sect were 60,000. This was twice as many as his command. At present, it was no longer a question of delaying the Song army or not, but whether he could protect himself in front of the Song army.

Seeing the Song army leaving the city in large numbers, he knew that it was time to make a decision. If the two armies completely fought, they would really not be able to withdraw and could only be eaten by the Song army step by step. With the popularity of the Song army's firearms, they would have twice the strength of the Song army, and Monto was unsure that they could take over the Song army. What's more, the situation is exactly the opposite, and the Song army has twice the strength of them.

"General Meng!"

While Monto was still hesitating, there was a deputy general next to him who could not help but say, "We should make a conclusion on whether to fight or withdraw."

"well"

Monto sighed softly, "What's your idea?"

The deputy general did not hesitate at all. Obviously, he had made up his mind and said, "The Song army is powerful. If our army wants to continue to hold them back now, it is likely that they will be wiped out by their entire army. It is not that we are unwilling to do things, but that we cannot do things. Leave the green mountains and do not worry about the lack of firewood. The general thinks that we should retreat immediately. Even if Commander Boyan blames me for not waiting, we still have reason to say that we really cannot deal with so many Song troops."

He pondered for a moment, "If all the soldiers died, then we really have no say."

Monto breathed a long sigh, "You are right, and you will be ordered to retreat!"

His eyes were a little complicated.

In fact, what he was worried about was not just the failure of the battle in Xiujiang Town, whether Boyan would blame him.

Boyan knows him, and he also knows Boyan.

Boyan has always been as delicate as his hair, and Monto knew very well that even if he had put all the blame on Huang Liangce in the letter, Boyan might not believe his words. With Boyan's cunning, he would definitely find some clues in it. Whether to punish him or not is actually just a matter of Boyan's personal intention.

Now he is stationed troops on the side of Xiujiang Town, holding a large army, which is useful to Boyan. But what about after retreating on this trip?

Who knows if Boyan will continue to be willing to bear the matter of Princess Mingzhu for him?

Moreover, Huang Liangce and Li Wangyuan have not died, which is always a hidden danger.

Although Boyan has always valued him, who in the officialdom has never done anything to abandon his troops and protect his car?

This small world that has attracted countless people to flock to is actually not very affectionate. After all, it depends on whether you have value.

Monto felt a little in his heart that if Huang Liangce returned to Dadu and exposed Princess Mingzhu to the emperor, as long as the emperor ordered a strict investigation, Boyan would definitely not protect himself, and at most he would just wait and see. He would not be able to disturb this matter for himself. After all, Princess Mingzhu is the princess the emperor most favored.

For the great cause of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan could sacrifice Mingzhu. But wouldn’t he feel angry?

When the war is over, I am afraid it will be time for His Majesty to vent his anger. At that time, no one will be able to protect themselves if they are related to Mingzhu.

So, Monto was in a dilemma before.

He wanted Boyan to see his role in the army and make efforts to protect him, but he was afraid that all his soldiers would be lost here.

However, when the deputy general said that he would stay with the green mountains and not be afraid of burning firewood, his heart suddenly felt as if a light was shining in, and his mind suddenly opened.

There was a sound of gold in the Yuan army formation.

Monto looked at Song Jun who was rushing out of the city from a distance and sighed in his heart, "I hope I won't go that way."

He plucked his horse and hurried eastward with the retreating soldiers.

As for the two thousand Yuan army cavalry that was fighting with the children of the Beggars' Gang, it seemed to be forgotten. From Monto down, no one in the Yuan army was evacuated with the soldiers.

It is impossible for those two thousand people to withdraw.

Among the Song army, Wen Tianxiang personally led the army out of the city. He was really surprised to see that the Yuan army suddenly sounded gold before the war started, and he hurriedly retreated.

He knew that Monto led his army to attack Xiujiang Town purely to drag down the garrison of the Xiujiang Town, but what happened?

Could it be that Monto felt that the delay was enough?

Wen Tianxiang did not think that Mengtuo would withdraw his troops because he was afraid that all his soldiers would be destroyed, because even if the Song army was powerful, it would take time to swallow up more than 30,000 Yuan troops. Furthermore, Mengtuo must be clear about the importance of this battle. It can be said that it was the final battle of the Yuan army to attack Song. If necessary, even if he fought to the last battle, he would never dare to withdraw without authorization.

Therefore, Wen Tianxiang became more inclined to the previous guess.

This made his heart suddenly pound.

Could it be that the Yuan army had any arrangements on the riverside, and had the confidence to take over dozens of divisions and units in a short period of time?

Until this time, no news was transmitted from the Delta to Xiujiang Town.

Thinking of this, Wen Tianxiang looked solemn, and he didn't care about pursuing Mengtuo anymore, and said to Zhang Hongwei beside him: "General Zhang, you lead the army to help the children of the Beggars' Gang. The other soldiers will go back to the city with me!"

Zhang Hongwei took the order and waved his hand to leave the large army with his soldiers.
