Imagine that, with only three thousand five hundred men at your command, you occupied Hulao Pass. When you looked into the distance from the high ground, all you could see was the enemy's army stretching along the riverbank, advancing in formation to the beat of drums, their ranks orderly and brimming with military might. Yet your commander had strictly ordered not to engage in battle, leaving you to tremblingly watch from the city walls...
Such a situation would inevitably affect the morale of both sides.
In this case, by the time Dou Jiande led the Summer Army to truly start the siege, he would have gained a certain advantage.
However, he could never have imagined that Lord Qin would actually dare to charge a hundred thousand-strong army with only three thousand five hundred men.
And that meant forcefully crossing the Si River to strike at a fully arrayed hundred thousand-strong army!
