Zhao Jie waited in vain all night, his confidant never returned to his command post. History played a joke on him, and an investigation later revealed that the car his confidant was in was too conspicuous and was spotted and destroyed on the street by a Thunderbolt Attack Aircraft.
Yes, due to a series of unfortunate events, the message of Zhao Jie's desire to surrender never reached Tang Country. He himself was unaware of this, and consequently, the Tang Army launched an even larger-scale attack.
While Zhao Jie was still hoping for a dignified surrender, the Tang Army's tanks and armored vehicles, under the cover of infantry, launched a fierce assault on the eastern square, sparking a bloody battle.
The Qin Country had deployed a regiment in this area, approximately 1500 men, holding the high ground and engaging the Tang Army in a room-to-room, corridor-by-corridor battle.
