The Early Morning of the Tenth Day of the First Month of the 37th Year of Jianyuan, Shimei County, Yan State.
A troop of forty thousand soldiers was marching across a plain on the northeast side of Shimei County.
This was the Central Army of the Xuanwu Army.
Their marching formation was somewhat scattered, unlike the other main corps of the Ice State which were in strict order, but the soldiers were all in high spirits.
Even when trudging through the mud, with their boots covered in black mud, their morale remained high.
Only the humid weather here made them a little uncomfortable.
The Commander of the Xuanwu Army, Xia Longxiang, also felt that the humidity here was too intense.
It was so intense that some of the old hidden injuries in his body began to ache faintly.
