According to what the Young General said, once he entered that camp, they would retreat two miles; they had arrived on horseback.
After all, it wasn't very fast, and the reason they didn't use camels was because they purchased enough water and changed into local clothing.
Since they weren't far apart on both sides, they didn't wear military uniforms, their regular clothes weren't much different; ordinary civilians had it good if they had clothes to wear.
Or some better-off families might wear ethnic outfits; the two countries were so close, naturally, there were intermarriages between the two places, with kin in both nations.
This is why they couldn't capture all those people in the city?
And in this country, they also had their people.
The Young General evaded the sentries and patrols; it was almost dawn, the time when people slept most soundly.
It was the best time to act, not many tents for establishing a camp, perhaps due to scarce supplies.
