Fortunately, Bai Shu Xuan did not disappoint her expectations.
This local elder spent only half a day to gather up five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, then set fire to the local food and fodder storehouse. Under the protection of the Holy Woman, he led people to Xin Shao and Dragon Return counties.
In the next two days, Lan Cai'er and Bai Shu Xuan gathered another five thousand soldiers and horses from two other counties, additionally setting fire to two county storehouses, and then journeyed north towards Wuling Prefecture.
Upon reaching Wuling Prefecture, their army did not rest.
Instead, they gathered the defenders from two southern counties and retreated to the important city of Chenxi in the south of Wuling Prefecture. Here, they staked a stand with fifteen thousand soldiers and horses.
However, these soldiers were still too few to withstand an enemy force of two hundred thousand. It was extremely challenging.
