Chapter 346 - Chapter 23 No One Is a Fool_1

Zheng Fan and A Ming returned to the fortress. The next moment, Green Willow Fortress was on full alert. The sentry cavalry, usually dispatched at night as per custom, were all summoned back. The role of the sentry cavalry in Green Willow Fortress was primarily to patrol and maintain vigilance, ensuring their fellow soldiers within the fortress could rest and carry out daily activities with a sense of security. Since it had been confirmed that a sizable cavalry unit from Qian State was heading north with Green Willow Fortress as its target, the sentry cavalry outside no longer served any practical purpose now that the fortress was on full alert. Chief Zheng, accustomed to small-scale operations, was meticulous about every detail. He reasoned it was better to withdraw all the sentries than to risk them being ambushed or overwhelmed outside.
