The battle cry that reverberated throughout the night was thunderous. Immersed in such surroundings, Sun Zihu and the western elites who had just arrived found it even harder to fall asleep considering that they did not feel like sleeping anyway.
However, Sun Zihu had issued his command, "Sleep! Anyone who can't sleep tonight will be penalized for having violated military law! The list of names will be sent back to Marshal Wang and judgment shall be upon meted upon his consideration!"
It was an unreasonable order, but it was also a necessity.
The western relief troops and Sun Zihu knew that they only had the night to rest. After that, it would be blood and fire, life and death.
They also realized that Han Sanhe was attacking aggressively so as to interrupt their rest!
