Close to a month had already passed since the battle began and the Battle of Red Cliff was close to its end.
Outside Yiling City, Zhou Yu Army camp.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were squeezed together. Looking out, the uneven land outside of the city was covered with black tents; it was extremely boisterous and dirty streams flowed out.
As the cold wind blew, the general flags made a tearing sound.
In the woods further away from the camp, several logging sites were set up. Using the wood that they cut down, they took a few thousand smiths over from Jiangling City to build siege weapons.
On the muddy paths, there similarly were thousands of laborers wearing tattered clothing, braving the winter wind to obtain stone from the deep mountains; they used small carts to push the stone to the battlefield.
