The Crimson-Sashed Blue-Clad Men wielded their formidable strength, winning victory after victory with fewer men and lower casualties.
By the end, there were more and more No-Underlayer Blue-Clad Men and Crimson-Sashed Blue-Clad Men.
No one knew how long the two sides had fought. Li Qingxian's Green Bamboo Strip had been beaten from eleven sections to twelve.
At last, the battle ended.
