"Which banner is it?"
Xiang Yan's brows furrowed; he asked instantly.
Huainan lies hundreds of li away from Chufang City; to shake off Hangu Pass Camp's pursuit, to withdraw the rearguard, and, more importantly, to preserve the last hope for Chu State, Xiang Yan left fifty thousand soldiers stationed at Chufang City, and deliberately did not respond to the royal edict to return to the capital for rescue. Xiang Yan understood that returning to the capital meant complete annihilation for the entire army.
Thus, Xiang Yan acted decisively, retreating with Mi Qi to Huainan City and elevating Mi Qi as king.
"It's the banner of the Qin Army from Hangu Pass."
The messenger responded at once.
"Huan Yi presses so closely."
Xiang Yan's expression grew grim.
But at that very moment!
Another messenger rushed into the great hall, panicked: "Report to the Great King, report to the Shangjiangjun, Qin Army movements have been spotted at the North Gate of Huainan!"
"North Gate?"
