This was akin to a breach in a dam. Once the water found an opening, there was no stopping its flow. The more people there were, the greater the chaos, and the more trampled upon they became while fleeing…
By dawn, Sun Pu's army had retreated over 40 miles and regrouped. They had suffered losses of over 20,000 men out of the initial 50,000!
Only about 30,000 remained, many of whom were injured.
The grain supplies were practically ruined and irretrievable.
At least 3,000 horses were also lost, likely captured by the enemy…
Sun Pu's vision dimmed, and he collapsed from sheer anger!
When had the pampered Young Master of the Sun family ever faced such a devastating loss, such shock, and such indignity?
The hatred burning within him was raw and consuming, fueling his rage…
It was a relief that he merely fainted and didn't spew blood.
The generals exchanged glances, their hearts filled with curses!
