The thousand-man Northwestern Transportation Office's Patrol Cavalry Battalion was actually annihilated in the mountainous region between the Gan and Yin Provinces. Such news was enough to shake the entire officialdom in the northwestern region.
Though there were many incidents at the borders of the northwestern region, such an incident had never happened before in recent centuries. On top of that, this happened within Yin Province. These were a thousand fully-armored cavalrymen from the Transportation Office, not unarmed and defenseless commoners. It could be considered as earth-shattering news since only very few figures and influencers were capable of performing such acts in the northwestern region.
