Jue Ling Pass in Central Province is the first barrier of the Central Plains, safeguarding the gateway to Central Province.
The Divine Martial Army led by Luo Feng is stationed here, engaging in offensive and defensive battles with the Northern Zhou army outside the pass, with skirmishes lasting for a day and a night.
Surprisingly, during this day and night, the side holding the advantage was not the Divine Martial Army defending the formidable pass, but the Northern Zhou army that had marched south, having first seized Xuanzhou and Shu Province.
The Northern Zhou army deployed firearms for the siege, supported by the Circulation Eight Movements. Though the pass is formidable, it didn't offer a substantial advantage; on the contrary, due to the defensive stance, the Divine Martial Army was in a passive position, constantly being pounded.
Furthermore, some chaos emerged within Central Province itself.
