At his command, those soldiers who had already heard of Yu Wenye leading reinforcements rallied without regard for their lives, rushing out of the valley in a frantic scramble. The previously burning firewood was immediately trampled flat by these men, and the scorching heat of the ground only ignited their fighting spirit. Upon emerging from the valley, they quickly assembled and set up a formation for an assault!
Faced with the sudden attack, Yuan An's troops, initially caught off guard, quickly reacted. However, at that moment, they couldn't form a battle array for a counterattack due to the lack of leadership. Although they pursued Yu Wencheng along the way and seemed unstoppable, it was primarily because Yu Wencheng fled in panic, leaving his main forces in Taiyuan; additionally, they scattered and lost quite a few along the way. Now, encountering such a formidable troop counterattack, they were thrown into confusion.
