A week had pa.s.sed since the lefts rally and the battles continued to rage on. Tianlong"s army was dropping fast but not as fast as the barbarian army which had fallen to 23thousand. No major battles had taken place in that week, but these battles determined major key points both armies needed. Tianlong"s army was now 8thousand but was still staying strong in the face of 23thousand.Somewhere behind the tree lines.

Tsar: But my prince!
Prince Alexander: PRINCE NOTHING!!! SOMEONE FETCH ME MY HORSE!!!! I WILL PERSONALLY LEAD THE SECOND WAVE!!! AND TSAR JORA I HOPE YOU ARE COMPETENT ENOUGH TO DEFEAT THE RIGHT OUR ELSE I SHALL HAVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HEADS!!!
When all that was said every tsar felt fear to this Fourth prince of theirs. Unlike his brothers and father, the 4th Great Tsar Prince Alexandre inherited his great-grandfather"s bloodl.u.s.t which drove him to be a inspiring, feared and respected warmongering general in the kingdom and he was famed for his cold beauty by many women.
Back to Tianlong"s side,
Tianlong had ordered the entire right and left flanks and center to retreat and regroup a few miles away to organize a defense to hold out.
Tianlong: Captain Ling! Take 1thousand men and make a fort!!! We shall make our last defense here!
Captain Ling: What about the flanks general?
Tianlong: they already know what to do so don"t worry! We must build it before their entire army is here!
the army of 8thousand quickly made a wooden fort and wooden walls where they stood guarding waiting for the enemy.
On this day a battle that would go down in history took place, The Black Horse General with his army of 8thousand went head to head with an army numbering 30thousand and prevailed somehow…
In the main tent….
Fu Chen was the first to speak up regarding this situation they were in and suggested to retreat to Dunhuang Village and join forces with village guards but was rejected.
Tianlong: Although that is the best way, we can"t retreat any further else we would be surrounded because of the open plain that the enemy would use to defeat us.
Soon hours had pa.s.sed since Tianlong and his captains started their meeting. Many plans were drawn up but were rejected because of their armies" size or the risk of getting surrounded.
Tianlong: Since we haven"t come up with anything we shall hold here and fight to the death!
Lu Lingqi: But general!!
Tianlong looked silently at his sister and looked away before speaking again.
Tianlong: Lieutenant Fu shall lead the right with captains Lin and Ling!! Captain Lu shall lead the left with captains Ming and Zhou! Captain Hu shall command the center with me that is all!!!
Each captain had walked out reluctantly but was forced to by Tianlong.
2 hours later….
Night had fallen upon the battlefield and with it, moonlight illuminated the sky. On a cliff, a lone figure stood alone looking down upon the camp and stood there unmoving as he drank, behind him stood a person holding a paper.
Tianlong: Messenger Zhu you shall leave tonight and deliver this to the lord, tell him the north has been breached but the enemy shall suffer casualties before they arrive before Dunhuang!!
Messenger Zhu: But general!! You and little madam must survive!! You"re the only children the lord made!
Tianlong shook his head and raised his spear.
Tianlong: messenger Zhu… tell me what do you see?
Messenger Zhu: General?
Tianlong: What do you see.
being asked again messenger Zhu understood and looked towards the forest but all he saw was shadows.
Messenger Zhu: I see nothing general.
Tianlong said nothing for a while before telling the messenger what he saw.
Tianlong: I see the trees sway back and forth, the river rushing, animals hunting, people moving and many soldier"s death…. I see the remnants of our brothers and what they died for. That"s why I shall personally lead this last charge.
Messenger Zhu was filled with sadness when he heard Tianlong describe what he saw and remembered how many of his friends died trying to bring news to the other camps and so on and this made messenger Zhu shed tears silently.
Tianlong: Go messenger Zhu send word to the people tell them to flee to Dunhuang that"s where they will see light!
Messenger Zhu started crying and shouted, But general!!!
Tianlong: Go I order you as your general to spread the word of the black Horse Generals fall tell everyone that hope lies in Dunhuang!!!
Somewhere 10 days out….
Lu Bu: Zhang Liang will we make it in time!?
Zhang Liang: My Lord I can"t tell but I can say the aura has changed to form an aura of sadness, resolve and determination so we must be close!
Lu Bu: How long has it been since Tianlong and his army rode out!?
Xu Cheng: my lord it has been two weeks! Yesterday was the second week!!
Lu Bu: I don"t care how long it takes but we shall force march all the way I won"t call myself Lu Bu the Demon if I let my children die!!
Back to Blood-moon valley….
Prince Alexander along with another 10thousand advanced slowly through the forest and arrived in a hilly plain was a ma.s.sive fort and long wooden walls covered the plain.
Great Tsar Alexander: Hmph!! To think you idiots would be beaten by a cowardly general like him!?
Tsar 1: But Prince this general was fierce like you and charged head-on into our men and came out covered in blood, so we a.s.sumed he was a fierce general!!!
Tsar 2: yeah! Prince his spear moved like a dragon in the water!!! He killed many in one move and was like an asura!!!
Prince Alexander: Hmph! I don"t care whether he"s an asura or not I only know this coward general shall fall before my Ghastly Demon Spear!
When Alexander said that he raised an ancient spear with demon-like engravings, the spear looked old but gave the aura of a masterpiece that was hidden for years and only now was it revealed ready to strikeout.
Great Tsar Alexander: Have the men set camp! We shall slaughter this coward general on tomorrows sunrise!!
Soon the army of 23thousand covered the entire hilly plain and watched Tianlong"s army.
Tianlong at this point was considered to be insane by his entire army but didn"t mind those comments and just stood staring out waiting.
