Wanyan Sheng estimated that the reason why the Western Army had been stubbornly holding their camp was that they were waiting for more reinforcements. The Western Army wrongly believed that with more reinforcements, they could defeat the Jin soldiers in open battle and decide the outcome of the war in one fell swoop.
Wanyan Sheng naturally scoffed at this idea.
He had already anticipated the scene where the Western Army would decide to emerge from their camp for battle, and the Jin soldiers would completely crush them along with the reinforcements.
Besides, the Jin soldiers hadn't forgotten that they had Emperor Yingzong of Qi in their hands.
During this period, the Jin soldiers had forced Emperor Yingzong to write numerous royal decrees and edicts, all commanding the Western Army to retreat and for the city to continue looting wealth and women to send to the Jin Camp, among other orders.
However, these edicts sank like stones into the sea, stirring no ripples whatsoever.
