North of the front line of Mt. Daniu, the expeditionary army had left behind most of their troops to hold the Wang Consortium at the defensive line. Meanwhile, the remaining expeditionary army troops started retreating northwards. It looked like they were planning to retreat directly north of the grasslands.
The expeditionary army troops who stayed behind to guard the rear of the formation did not become disheartened and fight passively just because the main forces had retreated. Instead, they fought even more ferociously.
In the expeditionary army, if a pair of brothers served together at the same time, the younger brother would withdraw with the retreating troops.
If it was a father and son serving together, the son would withdraw with the retreating troops.
It was very rare to see a father-son pair serving together in the military in the Central Plains, but this was very common within the expeditionary army.
