Cui Shanzhong was unwilling!
Tears filled his eyes!
The defeat was as overwhelming as a landslide, and Cui Shanzhong's sense of powerlessness... no one could understand.
"The old General cannot hold on any longer! The situation is hopeless! We must quickly retreat to the Imperial Palace! Perhaps we can hold out for a while longer! I will send someone to call for reinforcements immediately!" The lieutenant of General Cui urged loudly as Cui Shanzhong remained still, "The old General must not hesitate! If we withdraw most of our forces back to the palace now, we might hold out until reinforcements arrive!"
It couldn't hold any longer...
Cui Shanzhong knew!
Even retreating to the Imperial Palace now would just be a futile struggle.
When Cui Zhongshan took command, he sent directives to each city, calling for troops to come!
Those willing to come had arrived, and those unwilling remained silent.
