Modi led the army to retreat. As he expected, in the process of retreat, soldiers came to join him. So that the soldiers around Modi, from more than 8000 at the beginning, rapidly increased to about 15000.
Nearly double the number of people, the daily consumption of food also increased.
Today, modi mainly relies on the villages and towns along the way to supply. If you are willing to supply, modi will not plunder. But not willing to supply, modi is conniving soldiers looting.
At this point, modi won't stay.
Everything is to survive.
When modi retreats with his army, he also arranges a sentry to find out the movement of Zhang Xiu's army in the rear, so as to ensure modi can know Zhang Xiu's situation at any time.
On this day, at noon.
The army stopped to rest, and the soldiers also cooked and began to prepare lunch. After all, there is not enough food and grass, so the food for soldiers at noon is relatively simple, not particularly rich.
But at least it's full.
Modi now, the whole person a pair of eyes with thick bags, eyes covered with blood, is very tired. This is not only mental fatigue, but also physical fatigue.
But modi has to stick to it.
If modi is the first to fall, his soldiers will not be able to support him.
"Newspaper!"
As modi rested against a big tree, the sentinel Pegasus retreated.
There was a rush in the voice of the sentinel.
With the sound of the horse's hooves, the sentry came to modi soon, turned over and got off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "commander, there is news about the disposal of the prisoners by the Qin army in the rear."
As he spoke, the prisoner handed a letter.
Modi took the letter. When he opened the letter and saw the content, his hand could not help shaking. The letter fell directly to the ground, and modi's face also turned black.
"Zhang Xiu, I'm not with you."
"If I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a man."
"You deceive too much!"
……
Modi murmured to himself, his face was livid, and his eyes showed no intention of killing. If eyes can kill people, Zhang Xiu has died countless times.
Modi's every move affects the hearts of the generals. Shimohe is always beside modi. When he sees the letter on the ground, he quickly picks it up and reads it.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, shimohe couldn't help taking a breath.
Zhang Xiu is too cruel.
There are nearly 70000 soldiers in Kushan, but now Zhang Xiu has sold them all. Take the soldiers of Kushan as slaves and sell them all.
This is the information in the letter.
The information sent back by the sentinel is about how Zhang Xiu dealt with the prisoners.
That's why modi is so angry.
This battle between modi and Zhang Xiu not only damaged his generals, such as Shaqi, akelu and Salman, but also was captured by Zhang Xiu.
Now, it's all sold.
They were all slaves.
No one can bear such a situation.
"Hoo! Hoo
Modi's breathing, are increasingly rapid, chest constantly bullying. Originally these days, modi is already weak, heartburn, so that the body is very uncomfortable. Now, stimulated by the intelligence news, he is even more anxious and can no longer suppress his own Qi and blood.
All of a sudden, modi just felt sweet in his throat.
"Poof!"
A mouthful of red blood sprayed from modi's mouth. Blood spilled, modi mouth with a trace of blood, and modi itself, is the breath of wilting.
"Damn, damn Zhang Xiu!"
Modi yelled bitterly.
With the roar of Modi, his eyes full of blood are already full of crystal clear tears. Drop by drop of tears from the eyes, from the cheek down, wet clothes.
At this moment, modi's heart is like a knife.
He suffered a great deal.
As a veteran who has been fighting for decades, modi has never encountered such humiliating things. His soldiers were sold as slaves by Zhang Xiu.
It's a shame for modi.
When shimohe saw this, he sighed in his heart. Zhang Xiu's treatment is really surprising. No one thought that Zhang Xiu would sell the prisoners as slaves.
Shimaha didn't open his mouth to persuade.
These days, he knows the pressure that modi is under and that modi's spirit is on the verge of collapse. Now, it's not a bad thing for Mo Di to cry.
Doing things with emotion is easy to make mistakes.
After all the emotions are vented, people can be relaxed and go to the battlefield without burden, so that they can make rational judgment.After half a sound, modi stopped crying.
Shimohe said: "marshal, this is the end of the matter. What we need to do now is to cheer up and take revenge for our comrades who died in the war and those who were captured. Now, we still need to speed up the withdrawal of Dichi county. Only when we return to Dichi County as soon as possible and recruit new soldiers can we have the capital to fight against Zhang Xiu. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. "
Modi took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said: "you're right, I can't let Zhang Xiu look down on it, let alone make Zhang Xiu proud. Now this war, we have not completely lost to Zhang Xiu. As long as we have a chance, I will fight to the end. "
"Handsome and wise!"
Shimohe said: "this is the marshal that the last general knows. Even if he is defeated, he can still turn the tables in adversity and turn the situation around in adversity."
With a flick of his sleeve, modi stood up and looked around at the generals. He said in a deep voice: "all the captured comrades have been sold as slaves by Zhang Xiu. Now, you should know what is the end of defeat. "
"We flee back home and will be dealt with. It is estimated that they are not much different from slaves. They must have lost their freedom and everything. When we were defeated, we were treated as slaves by Zhang Xiu. It's hard for us to be free. "
"We have only one war now."
"And we have to win."
Modi tossed the ground and said: "now, we are only allowed to win, not lose. Now, we can only withdraw to Dichi county first, and then fight to death with the help of Dichi county and Zhang Xiu. "
"Fight to the death!"
Shimohe roared.
He admired modi because modi was always able to boost morale.
Just as now, it was supposed to be people's grief, but after modi's words, it turned to inspire all the soldiers, so that they could fight to death instead of self pity.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
……
All the soldiers in the army roared.
Everyone is full of war.
It's not that they want to fight, it's that they are forced into a desperate situation and can only fight. Therefore, under the instigation of modi's words, all of them are ready to fight against Zhang Xiu and fight again with the help of Dichi county.
Modi looked around, looking at the excited soldiers, his heart was also relieved. Now, he wants to control this group of soldiers and ensure that this war will continue and win.
This is modi's plan.
After boosting the morale of the soldiers, modi ordered them to continue their journey after lunch. In May, when the weather became warmer, the army led by modi returned to Dichi county.
When he came to the outside of Dichi County, modi looked at the towering city wall of Dichi county and the flag of Kushan Empire floating on the tower, with a smile on his face.
He finally came back.
Finally back to Dichi county.
