More than 500,000 soldiers were soon gathered from various regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In terms of composition, these soldiers were not as well-trained as the Qin army, but this was not a direct confrontation.
The only thing this army needed to do was to slow down the Qin army's attack and prevent them from really attacking Haojing City, where the emperor was located. Then, they would quietly wait for the reinforcements sent by the other nobles to gather.
It was more than enough to do this.
The Qin army and the Qin army probed the north bank of the Ji River. The Qin army won a small victory, and the defeated Qin army did not linger on the battle. They immediately retreated to the south bank of the Ji River and began to implement a policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to prevent the Qin army from obtaining food in the Great Zhou territory.
This move was very useful to the Qin army who had come from afar.
