After their crushing defeat last time against Zhao Lie's Yelang Army, Ma Ziteng had thoroughly fortified his positions alongside Luo Yu and Lin Tianyuan.
They concentrated their main forces in front of Li City and Bilin Pass. Especially before Bilin Pass, where they deployed fifty thousand heavy cavalry, specifically waiting for Zhao Lie to attack so they could annihilate him in one fell swoop.
