Since May, the Chu Army had changed its strategy. After starting to pour large numbers of captured cannon fodder into the front line, the situation for the Zhao Army in Dongjun quickly took a turn for the worse.
On the battlefield in Liang County, in order to attack Liang, the Chu Army had committed over a million prisoners in a relentless assault without regard for casualties. Thus, their progress was extremely smooth.
Over there in Dongjun, the Western Military Expedition led by Huang Lin also advanced at an equally rapid pace.
After adjustments last winter, the forces of the Western Military Expedition were reorganized, and its current composition was one million soldiers and one and a half million civilian workers.
On the other hand, their enemy, centered around Dongjun's Diqiu, consisted of the Zhao Army with roughly one million soldiers and about eight hundred thousand civilian workers who had been hastily conscripted.
