Qi Haoran's face darkened.
Whether they lived or not, they had to kill the pursuing Jin soldiers. Otherwise, more civilians would suffer.
On the way, Qi Haoran asked Fan Zijin curiously, "We've never stopped our horses. How did you know that there were traces there?"
"Have you forgotten the two scouts I asked you for? They reported it." Fan Zijin increased the speed of his horse as he said, "Since Wu Shu was leading a battalion, they must be followed by a small group of scattered soldiers. Why don't we split our men into a few teams to go out and save the civilians? That will be faster."
Qi Haoran agreed after thinking about it. He divided the people into three teams, with two scouts in each team. "If you encounter a strong enemy, escape if you can. If you can't escape, send a signal for help."
Everyone agreed.
Only then did Qi Haoran ride his horse towards Jialing Lake.
