Man Dahai had 40,000 soldiers and horses.
He gave Kong Youde 5,000 soldiers and horses, and ambushed another 5,000 soldiers and horses in Dalinghhe Fort.
These 30,000 cavalrymen are his main force.
Li Xingzhong only has 20,000 cavalry!
According to Wang Yongji's plan, he should have had 39,000 soldiers and horses.

Bang!
Li Xingzhong whipped the man and said, "Nonsense! Let's not talk about the crime of not helping someone in need. If everyone thinks the same way, the Ping Liao army will become a pile of loose sand!"
"Forget winning the battle. Even whether we can return alive is a problem!"
