Ling Zhi squinted his eyes, gazing into the distance, somewhat surprised that the Song army did not launch a night attack last night. Ling Zhi thought they would rest for a few more days before starting, or perhaps they might attack Yi City.
Yet unexpectedly, they attacked early this morning.
Nonetheless, Ling Zhi wasn't too worried. With tens of thousands of troops in the city and the sturdy city walls, he was quite confident in holding out for a few days. Once reinforcements arrived, Ling Zhi even believed he could launch a counterattack. Therefore, facing the Song army's charge, Ling Zhi ordered a solid defense to prevent the Song army from setting up siege ladders.
On the Song army's side, the war drums thundered, horns blared, and a commanding shout echoed in the front lines. Clad in black armor, wielding shields in both hands, the heavy shield soldiers protected a large number of Song troops advancing step by step.
