But.
What Deng Ai did not expect was.
After learning that Deng Ai had taken control of Jiangyou Pass.
Zhuge Zhan, leading tens of thousands of soldiers, stopped at Fucheng and did not advance.
This left Blue Star netizens in the livestream room puzzled.
For no reason other than.
Though Zhuge Zhan was unaware of Deng Ai's circumstances, they were perfectly clear on them.
Deng Ai had set out with thirty thousand troops.
But he had left soldiers stationed along the way, leaving only three thousand elite troops by the time he reached Motian Cliff.
And after descending from Motian Cliff.
Many had died, leaving only over two thousand.
These two thousand then crossed hundreds of miles of no man's land before reaching Jiangyou Pass for a temporary rest.
Deng Ai's force of just over two thousand elite troops had no reinforcements, no provisions, and the soldiers were exhausted.
Frankly speaking.
If Zhuge Zhan launched an attack now, Deng Ai might be finished.
