"Boom! Boom!" The cannons kept firing, and the barbarian soldiers on the wall could only take the hits without fighting back.

While on the move, Lu Fei suddenly pointed at the mountains ahead. Nestled between the towering peaks stood a grand fortress—it was Shanhai Pass. That was the northern…

Outside the Qingzhou military camp, Prince Yong stood tall in armor, a sword at his waist, looking every bit like a battle-hardened general. Chen Xinran stood behind him, looking a little helpless. With the barbarians retreating, Prince Yong was, of course, overjoyed. But right after, he began thinking about how to reap the biggest benefits from this great victory. One benefit would be military merits. The other would be the spoils of war. This time, the barbarians had abandoned a large number of…

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 collapse started near Fencheng and rapidly spread toward the center of the battlefield. “That’s the barbarian retreat signal,” Luo Quan muttered in disbelief, mixed with a hint of joy. 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…
