At that time, locusts swarmed the sky and descended. Zeng Yue, Zhao Hanzhang, and Fu Tinghan were far away, at the other end of the battlefield, unaware of each other's situation. But upon careful consideration, given their abilities, it certainly wouldn't be difficult for them to escape.

The front line was too stretched out; no matter how skilled the governor is, it's impossible to gather all the soldiers. If we return with just two hundred people, it would be too disgraceful."
Everyone thought the same and hurriedly followed Zeng Yue back. However, after running for a while, they stopped.
The night was too dark to discern directions, so they decided to stop and rest overnight, waiting until dawn to proceed.
