Before long, Lin Xiuming's scout cavalry arrived beneath Yan County's city walls, where one of the soldiers shouted, "We are the reinforcement troops sent by the Imperial Court to aid the North Prince, our general is Lin Xiuming, please open the city gates immediately! Let us in!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of Yan County were extremely tense. At that moment, a Colonel guarding the city gate promptly replied, "The North Prince is currently holding off the Barbarian Army at the North Gate! Please wait a moment! We will go and report this!"
Hearing this, a soldier instantly became irate, "What's there to report? The Barbarian Army is already here, hurry up and let us in! If anything happens to the North Prince, can you gatekeepers take responsibility?"
The Colonel spoke again, "Don't be hasty, this is a critical period, we need to confirm that you are indeed the Imperial Army."
