The Qingming Army still occupies Ji Country, sweeping all before them. With the support of Military Qi, those leading the vanguard, whether Xiao Yu Bao Yun, Feng Tingyu, or Wang Hu, are formidable enough to withstand Imperial forces.
After several crushing defeats, the morale of the Ji Army has been shattered. Upon seeing the Qingming flags, their Military Qi dissipates halfway even before the battle begins. For the commanding general, the resulting enhancement from the Military Qi is negligible. The army not immediately collapsing is already considered the elites of the Ji Army.
Past battles have demonstrated that in the face-off between the two armies, the Ji Army is often decimated by artillery fire before even catching sight of the Qingming soldiers.
So far, the war has cost over five hundred thousand Ji soldiers their lives, while Qingming has suffered over a thousand casualties, mostly due to acclimatization issues or poisoning from local specialties.
