Furthermore, for the transport of food and fodder, as well as for siege consumption, the Zhou People had also mobilized more than 100,000 civilian workers in Hanzhong Prefecture.
With these people, the number of Zhou forces indeed amounted to 300,000.
But that was before.
As the Hanzhong messenger said.
To resist the Zhou invasion and protect his territory, Qiao Kangquan, the King of Hanzhong, was unyieldingly firm in his resolve to stand against the Zhou forces.
Previously, he had assembled 100,000 troops around Baishi City, the capital of Hanzhong, not to face the Zhou forces in a decisive battle, but to wholeheartedly defend the fortress.
Against a formidable fortress commanded by an Inborn Grandmaster with 100,000 troops, even if the Zhou forces were three times that number, it would not be easy to take it.
The war started in March and continued until September, with both sides fighting fiercely in and around Baishi City.
