Reporting to Lord Lin Yi, the enemy forces are attacking; they have organized an army of over a hundred thousand and are approaching us in a mighty throng.
However, due to it being night, they did not ride horses but mostly marched on foot!
Hearing this, Lin Yi was not surprised; after all, the enemy was at war and capable of employing any strategy.
That's why he immediately ordered messengers to instruct the army to prepare for battle.
This time, he did not beat the drums, but instead, he acted according to a plan.
And he had everyone keep a silent vigil,
Giving the impression to the enemy that our side was just standing guard as usual,
Unaware of their approach,
Which made the barbarians even more excited,
Thinking that if they could get close, within 300 steps before starting their siege, they would undoubtedly catch us off guard.
It was not impossible that they could take Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.
