After Huang Mingliao's great victory over Yang'an Pass, several other battlefields were also affected and began to achieve overall victory.
Li Tang¡¯s entire northern Sichuan defense line, apart from Xingzhou and Yanganguan, the most important ones are Fengzhou and Sanguan defense lines. Facing Chencang here, guarding the old Chencang road was Li Tang's first line of defense against the Ming army.
But surprisingly, while the fighting at Yang'an Pass was in full swing, there was no fighting here. Moreover, the Ming army did not even make a tentative attack. The front line was frighteningly quiet.
