At dawn, a ray of sunlight pierced through the morning mist, shining on the Qingzhou soldiers marching north. Yesterday, the agreement to crush Azure Dragon King was made with Prince Yong.

Woooo… As the unfamiliar rhythm of the horn echoed across the battlefield, Luo Quan felt as if he were dreaming. The barbarian soldiers, locked in brutal combat just moments before, suddenly began to break formation and retreat.

The battlefield clearly still favored them—why would the barbarians retreat…

Earlier that afternoon, He Kui had tried to barge into the city and was arrested by the city guards. After the collapse of the Mountain Battalion, a few scattered soldiers had straggled back to Yunzhou—barely three thousand out of the original thirty thousand. Most had gotten lost after the rout.

Smoke filled the battlefield. The sound of battle roared on all sides. Three thousand cavalry charged like a steel tide, sweeping aside everything in their path. At that moment, Stone Zhan and the musketeers also rode out from the city. They quickly took advantage of the gap created by the cavalry charge to set up a defensive wagon formation. Behind the wagons, the musketeers began firing at the barbarian defenders to cover Lu Fei’s cavalry. As the cavalry reached the barbarian artillery position,…

Advanced chapter at patreon.com/caleredhair The north wind howled, signaling the changing of seasons once again. Inside his command tent, Beishan wore his armor and sword, his brows furrowed in thought. ‘How many more cattle and sheep will freeze to death this winter?’ he wondered. ‘When will the tribal chiefs understand that the bitter cold of the north is no longer fit for survival?’ He sighed and stepped outside the tent. Yesterday, he had ordered Chagatai to retreat in hopes of luring the…

The cold north wind swept across the battlefield as Luo Quan, aboard the hot air balloon, took in the entire scene below. The signal officer continuously sent flag signals, communicating with the Qingzhou army inside Fencheng. Once they confirmed that Niu Ben would launch an attack on the west gate, Luo Quan made his move—he would launch a fierce assault on the north gate to draw the barbarians’ main forces there. "Advance!" With a single command, the entire formation of the Jinwu Guards began to…

Advanced chapter at patreon.com/caleredhair "Artillery?" Luo Hong's heart skipped a beat. Zhan Xingchang nodded. "From the intel we received, the barbarians brought at least 200 cannons this time. Right now, we should destroy them with our own artillery. According to His Highness, the cannons sold to Chang’an have the longest range. They might be able to suppress the barbarians’ cannons. How many cannons did you bring?" "Not a single one," Luo Hong said through gritted teeth, his face suddenly…

As night slowly fell, the sky darkened across the land. After regrouping, the Jinwu Guards began cooking and preparing camp. Zhan Xingchang explained how the hot air balloon worked, leaving Luo Quan absolutely stunned. "This hot air balloon is incredible! We could even rescue people from the middle of an enemy army with it!" Luo Quan said in amazement. Zhan gave a small, wry smile. "It’s not that simple. The balloon has a lot of limitations—it’s not easy to control." This time, the Prince of Qi…

White clouds drifted gently across a bright blue sky. In the clear weather, a grey hot air balloon slowly floated toward Jizhou City. After tossing down three explosive canisters earlier, Liang Yubin and He Cheng had laughed the whole way. But after flying several more li, they realized a serious problem. "This is bad. So far, every wind current we've found is blowing north. Looks like we’ll have to keep going much farther," Liang Yubin said with worry. If that continued, they would be forced to…

Jizhou City, Prince Yong's Residence Chen Xinran looked up at the strange object slowly drifting in from outside the city. Like him, the entire city of Jizhou was staring at the thing in the sky. What was even stranger—it had dropped a stone tied with a piece of paper. After the city guards opened the note, they immediately went to find Chen Xinran. "General Chen, His Highness is drunk again. You’d better come back tomorrow," said the steward at the gate. Since the siege began, Prince Yong had been…
