Nearly two million soldiers and horses could not possibly be gathered together; they had to be dispersed.
And those large forces distributed outside of the city, without protection, naturally could not rely on the city for defense when facing the oncoming Zhao Army.
They could only grit their teeth, deploy their formations, and clash with them on the battlefield.
After a month of fighting, the outcome had become quite clear.
The two armies were evenly matched, or rather, the Zhao Army had a slight advantage while the Chu Army was at a slight disadvantage.
However, this disadvantage wasn't significant, as the foundation of the Chu Army was also quite substantial.
Even after losing 330,000 soldiers and horses, in the Liang City front line, the Chu Army still had over 1.4 million troops left, enough to continue the attrition war with Zhao.
