That is victory!
From beginning to end, all he wanted was to win.
...
Yong Yue Prefecture.
Another round of bloody slaughter ensued.
After more than a month, both sides suffered heavy losses.
The forces of Qing Country had lost over ten thousand men, with Sheng Country suffering a similarly grim toll.
The greatest advantage for Dasheng lay in the fact that Yong Yue Prefecture's provisions couldn't last much longer. The depletion of food and supplies signaled the moment the city would fall and its people perish. However, the problem of Hu Lao remained unsolved, like a sword dangling over their heads, threatening their lives at any moment.
"Is there any way to divert some more troops to Hu Lao?"
Clutching a bloodstained map, Meng Quji asked, "The surrendered soldiers from Qing Country are almost ready to be deployed. If we send some from Yong Yue Prefecture as well, how many can we spare?"
