Outside Yan City, fifty thousand troops awaited in strict formation.
Yet in the distance, the gates of Yan City remained tightly shut, and the city walls were filled with defending soldiers.
A strange occurrence took place, as the combined total of the Divine Strategy Camp and the Imperial Guard amounted to no more than fifty thousand.
In contrast, even after losing twenty thousand Dragon Cavalry, Pseudo-Yan still had eighty thousand foot soldiers remaining.
Combined with the defending city soldiers, county soldiers within the city, supply soldiers, and others, they could muster at least 150,000!
But even so, these Pseudo-Yan soldiers were ordered by the higher-ups to not engage outside the city, but to hold Yan City to the death.
The ordinary soldiers couldn't fathom why King Yan would do so, and upon receiving the intelligence, King Yan and his advisors were left bewildered and shocked.
They even harbored a hint of fear.
