Ling Tianyu controlled the entire battlefield, though the Think Tank's counterattack was truly formidable. It even thwarted any attempts by the soldiers to capture the city. This was certainly problematic.
On the battlefield, Yuanyang Country's Defending Generals completely changed their tactics. The coordination of bows, crossbows, and Red-Tasseled Spears was extremely effective. One might say it made it quite difficult for anyone to conquer the city, and some who were driven back were still resisting.
In the previous skirmish with Yuanyang Country, it could be said that defeat came one after another, especially with over a million troops enveloped. This severely impacted morale.
A soldier without morale is no different from one without a Soul; entirely scattered and disorganized.
