The Jade City garrison began to shrink back, abandoning all the outlying alert areas beyond the first line of defense, regarding the first line as their most outer boundary.
This arrangement allowed the troop density behind the Jade City Defense Line to further increase, but the downside was also obvious: they voluntarily gave up a large area of defense and forsook the space for in-depth defense.
The Tang Army naturally would not waste such an opportunity. They immediately filled the gaps between the two armies and, taking advantage of the chaos in the opponent's retreat, penetrated the first line of defense.
Since the Dorne 91st Division had previously collapsed during a night raid, in fact, the first outer line of the Jade City Defense Line had already been breached by the Tang Army for a section, so breaking through a few more places was not really a big deal.
