Almost half of the citizens were outside the city. Upon hearing the horn at the West State City Gate, they immediately realized something was wrong. Ever since Ningzhou and the Beiman started fighting, Fengyu had remained vaguely uneasy because West State served as both a granary and weapons depot. Nuanyang and Feiying assured her that the Beiman couldn't break through the Ningzhou Defense Line, thus they wouldn't reach the rear. West State was too far from the battlefield, hence very safe. As long as Ningzhou held, the Beiman wouldn't be able to attack West State City.
