Wei Yan, with his hands on his waist, stood in the tent and squinted at Wu Ban. His gaze gradually shifted from rage to calm.
Anger comes and goes swiftly.
Although he was not allowed to retreat according to Yi Yazhu's order, Wei Yan has been serving in Liu Bei's army for over twenty years, participating in hundreds of large and small battles. Even in dire situations, he had never lost hope.
"Wei Xiong," Wei Yan looked at Wu Ban with a burning gaze: "Ma Jiu did not give you and me an escape, you and I cannot sit by and wait to die. We need to give the Wei army a color, but we cannot empty our troops here."
Wu Ban rose to his feet and bowed to Wei Yan: "General, have you made a decision? I will certainly comply."
Wei Yan nodded: "Wait for me over there. If the Wei army continues to attack tomorrow, it will be alright. If they attack as fiercely as this, I will first open a small passage for them, allowing them to enter and trap themselves in a pit."
"After defeating a few waves of Wei troops, if it is still difficult to defend in the afternoon, you and I will form an array and withdraw westward!" Wei Yan said loudly: "Ma Jiu is the military advisor to Zhuge Liang. I am also the military advisor to Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang must not want you and me to die here!"
Wu Ban hesitated for a moment: "What if the Wei army has a lot of cavalry, what should we do?"
"There is a plain to the east of the mountain pass! If the Wei army has a large number of cavalry and there is no cover on the flat ground, we can directly climb the plain! We can also connect with Wang Ping and Zhao Yun's camps, providing mutual support."
Wu Ban bowed and said, "I will follow the general's advice!"
