What disgusted Xiang Ji the most was that Li Xin simply refused to let the elite Qin forces go head-to-head against the elite Dragon-Taming Corps under his command.
Instead, Qin shield-guards and miscellaneous infantry were continually thrown in to stall him and exhaust their stamina. As the elite core of the Dragon-Taming Corps, primarily consisting of cavalry, they were forced into positional warfare in mountainous terrain with complete defensive fortifications against heavily armored, ridiculously tanky shield-guards.
What was even more infuriating was that the moment there was any sign of their formation being breached, these shield-guards would rely on the terrain and their formation to retreat straight into the mountain forests or fall back, leaving Xiang Ji wanting to pursue them yet not daring to do so.
