From Zuo Nian, it was learned that since the last invasion of the Great Song which nearly led to the complete annihilation of the Eastern Army, Jin Xia has less than two hundred thousand standing troops left.
Among them, one hundred thousand troops belong to the direct forces of the Tuoba Clan, a unit that has never been deployed regardless of the attacks on Gao Liao or the Ping Beidi, as they are the guardians of the Jin Xia Capital.
The remaining less than one hundred thousand troops are composed of "garrison soldiers" from various Jin Xia tribes, with fifty thousand stationed to guard Haiyan Pass and the other fifty thousand deployed at various other borders of Jin Xia and to guard Gao Liao.
The news of Haiyan Pass's fall reaches the capital.
Tuoba Hui orders Wanyan Xiaji to lead thirty thousand direct troops of the Tuoba Clan and further mobilizes the tribes to gather another twenty thousand, totaling fifty thousand, to rush to Haiyan Pass to resist Chen Mo.
