When the Taiping Army arrived at the Eastern Capital city, the generals of the Taiping Army saw the city, which was thoroughly fortified, and Yuan Shitong scrutinized the defenses of this city, his expression grave, and said:
"As the art of war says, if you have ten times the force, you besiege it. With thirty thousand imperial guards defending this grand city of the realm, attempting to breach this city in a short period requires at least three hundred thousand troops."
Wen Qingyu looked at the steadfastly defended city, a trace of peculiar color in his eyes.
This strategist who calculated the fate of the world finally nodded, saying:
"...Indeed."
Pang Shuiyun said: "This city will certainly be breached within thirty days, however, to breach such a grand city of the realm with ten times the force would also require no less than thirty days."
"Employing this method for an exchange."
