"But Luotian Pass is different from the likes of Jia Youtian in Jiankou County. They are responsible for defense and are always on alert. Moreover, the plan to 'lure the enemy into the pot' to trap the Liangzhou Soldiers was already set. The defenses at Luotian Pass have been perfectly repaired. Last time, Xu Wencai and the others witnessed it themselves. Even if they only have two thousand men, without siege equipment, which we will need to either find or make, it will take at least twenty days to have a chance of breaching it."
"Such a long time is not only enough for reinforcements to reach Luotian Pass, but also for the forces chasing us to catch up overwhelmingly."
"Therefore, if we continue south and forcefully attack Luotian Pass, we are certainly doomed."
As the words were spoken,
even those who were mentally prepared fell into a dead silence.
"Then... what do we do?"
After a long pause, Xie Sishu finally said, "Is this truly a dead end?"
