The young soldiers guarding the city had long been terrified, looking at Troop Commander Li, then at the Rong army rushing towards the county. They hid on the watchtower, trembling, completely afraid to open the gate.
Afraid that once the gate opened, the Rong people outside would charge into the county and they would be killed by the Rong people.
Troop Commander Li was furious, and shouted, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and open the gate for me. If you don't, are you just going to wait for the Rong people inside the city to wreak havoc and then run away?!"
