The reason why the State of Jin failed to conquer Zhongshan several times was because the people and the military were united and of one mind.
Therefore, Dugu Yan wants to go big this time!
That means killing every single person from Zhongshan, leaving none alive!
She hadn't told anyone about this idea yet... She planned to wait until she had captured Shouchun and gained absolute control of the situation before executing her plan!
However, as the more than 80,000 troops slowly advanced, the surroundings were deathly silent!
It was as if all the garrison troops at the pass had evaporated and vanished without a trace...
Murong Lie, who was standing next to her, sensed that something was wrong!
After all, he was one of the planners and participants in the Battle of Yanshan, which annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu...
The scene before me looks so much like it did back in Yanshan.
"What's wrong, A-Lie?" Dugu Yan asked. "Why do you look so worried?"

"What word?"
"No... I can't see very clearly..."
Dugu Yan spurred his horse and rode closer. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but gasp. He saw a line of words carved on the stone: "Jiang Ming died under this stone!"
"not good!"
Dugu Yan realized that she had fallen into a trap and quickly stopped the troops, ordering them to retreat!
However, at that moment, countless torches were raised on the hilltops on both sides, and the enemy troops were densely packed together!
Countless burning logs and stones swept down the steep hillside, crashing down on the Xianbei cavalry!
"Retreat! Retreat!" Dugu Yan shouted, and tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry immediately began to retreat.
