Zhang Zhi sighed and said, “Unless you are made of iron, how could you not be tired?”
“Therefore,” Kou Zhong replied, “Everybody is tired! Li shi+ for this moment Only then will his celestial soldiers be able to display their greatest effectiveness”
He had not finished speaking, the Tang Ar-behind-and-had-not-participated-in-the-attack tea to move, and the celestial soldiers cavalry was precisely part of this group The twenty thousand cavalry was pulled back to regroup, to hold back their troops without ave the order, they could throw themselves back into the battlefield at any ti in continuously
Kou Zhong pulled the Moon in the Well and shouted to the five hundred cavalryood rest behind him, “Success or failure, it will depend on our ability”
