In short, with the Heaven-Pacifying Army fielding so many troops, Flying Goose Pass could not possibly hold. Once the pass fell, the entire Xianzhong Basin would lie wide open. The Heaven-Pacifying Army could drive straight to the walls of Xian'an City, and no force would remain to stand against it.
"Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master... what are we going to do?" Eunuch Huang was nearly in tears.
By then, Tang Changsheng had already regained his composure.
Truth be told, the Heaven-Pacifying Army's arrival at Flying Goose Pass with a million troops had caught Tang Changsheng somewhat by surprise.
