When Qian Jinhang, who was fighting fiercely at Xicong, heard the news of Tengyun's loss, he nearly passed out. His adjutant, quick and alert, supported him just in time to prevent the Dahua general from making a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Nevertheless, the situation deteriorated rapidly, an undeniable fact. The hundreds of thousands of Dahua Troops gathered near Xicong could almost be said to be hanging by a thread.
Even though Qian Jinhang knew that about 200,000 troops were already retreating, drawing gradually closer to South Wind Pass, he still was extremely nervous.
God knew whether the Tang Army would seize South Wind Pass first, or if his retreating troops would get there first to stabilize their position.
These days, he had been waiting for news, for confirmation that the 200,000 army tasked with retreating had indeed reached South Wind Pass.
