The ones conducting the ambush were brawny men clad in beast skins, riding atop ferocious beasts. These people were generally a head taller than the citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Although Zheng Ming was somewhat distant from them, he could still feel the ferocity of these men. As they leaped on their horses and brandished their blades, they carried an aura of savage viciousness.
By their attire, they were clearly not from the Great Jin Dynasty.
The ones being besieged, however, were dressed in the garb of the Great Jin Dynasty. There were only little over a thousand of them, and at the moment they were arranged in a circle, desperately defending against the attack of the beast skin-clad brutes.
Despite their smaller numbers, they fought hard and skillfully. The circular formation, although always seeming on the brink of collapse, was in fact incredibly resilient, and ordinary assaults could hardly threaten its existence.
