Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

The acting commander of the Huai Mountain clan ordered fire arrows to combat the rebel forces as they broke out of the inner city, causing chaos among the rebels. Despite their initial success, a significant number of rebels joined forces with the Ying He troops, leading to a retreat of the court's soldiers. The acting commander attempted to pursue but ultimately failed, leading to a search for the bodies of Yi Di and Che Sheng, which proved fruitless due to the charred remains. Dayu speculated on their fates and decided to misinform the citizens about Yi Di's status to rally them against foreign invaders. As the Ying He clan attacked, their forces retreated to aid their lord, leading to a confrontation with the Jingzhou troops, who ultimately withdrew into the outer city of Wang Ji due to the approaching foreign forces. The acting commander organized defenses, but the combined forces of the Ying He clan and foreign invaders significantly outnumbered the court's troops, putting the city's defenses under severe strain.
