Yuwen Chengdu urged on his Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Steed and charged toward the Eastern Göktürks' camp, the Phoenix-Winged Gilt Trident in hand.
The Eastern Göktürk soldiers outside the camp spotted Yuwen Chengdu and hurried to notify Qaghan Jieli. Meanwhile, the other soldiers began surrounding him.
