"Understood!"
"Brothers, advance at full speed!"
Chen Sansi's thousand men were all cavalry, superbly equipped—a reward for his victory.
For Bai Thingzhi and the others, they could muster at most two or three hundred horses.
A distance of one-hundred-fifty li, even average cavalry would need to rest intermittently, but they could still arrive within a day.
But by the time they reached their destination, it was already too late.
Bai Gou County, being an interior county within a state, didn't have fortifications as tall and robust as those of frontier counties like Po Yang County; its walls were usually thin and low. A ladder would suffice to scale them. The defending force rarely exceeded five hundred, with some consisting of only a hundred City Guard Army members, supplemented by fewer than a hundred from the government office.
Zhao Kang said, "General, Bai Gou County seems to have fallen..."
Chen Sansi reined in his horse.
