In Yinfeng Province, Li Mu was retreating northward because a troop of one hundred thousand demons from Ni Province had been dispatched from the southern part of Yinfeng Province to cut off his rear.
Li Mu was now planning to join forces with Ma Lin.
That evening, the army of Peng Country also reached Catfish City, surrounding the north and west gates, thus completely trapping Ma Lin inside the city.
Ma Lin looked at the two hundred thousand demons outside and was not worried because their military quality was not strong enough to break through the defenses of Catfish City.
What he was concerned about was that with Li Mu retreating, a massive army of five hundred thousand would soon come from the south. Together with Li Mu, he would have a total of one hundred thousand regular troops and thirty thousand militia to confront a whole seven hundred thousand enemies.
Why did the number of enemies keep increasing?
