The Third Prince was in the process of mobilizing his troops, but due to disconnection in command and the chaos of the war zone, his troop mobilization was extremely slow.
No one dared to mobilize a large force under the harassment of Tang Country's Air Force, yet without grouping, there was no way to deploy and move the troops, essentially trapping the Qi Army in a vicious cycle.
Relying entirely on messengers for communication, their efficiency couldn't possibly compete with that of the Tang Army, which was equipped with radios.
The outdated command system of the army forced Qi commanders not to let their troops leave the camp in small groups.
If they did so, then the Qi Army wouldn't even need to fight the Tang Army; they would collapse on their own.
Therefore, two hours after the order was issued, the Third Prince found that most of his troops were still dawdling on the spot with not the slightest sign of moving.
