Sima Ping forcefully pulled the reins to stop his startled warhorse, drew his sword, and shouted, "It's an ambush! Protect the supplies! Don't enter the valley! Retreat! Fall back!"
If they were ordinary soldiers, they might have panicked at this moment. But coincidentally, this time it was the Bai family army escorting the supplies.
The Bai family army had survived in dire situations countless times, and ambushes during battles between armies were common. After the initial moment of panic upon discovering the ambush, they quickly reacted. Not only were they not driven into the valley by the ambushing enemy forces, but some brave ones had already charged up the hillside with a murderous intent.
However, the soldiers escorting the supplies were far fewer than the ambushers from the Jian Army. In the short term, they managed to fight fiercely, but as time went on, the physical stamina of the Zhou soldiers became visibly inadequate.
