The situation kept changing.
And the atmosphere at the entire front line was becoming increasingly strange.

The seventh year of Shao Guang, early November.
General Yue led 2,500 elite cavalrymen out of the city on schedule, launching a swift "sweep" against the region of Mongolian cavalry activity northwest of Dingzhou State.
The battle proceeded as Gu Yan expected——the Song Army encountered and defeated several Mongolian light cavalry squads of about a hundred men each, capturing over a hundred heads with minimal losses of their own.
