Hearing what Ling Cao had told the two of them, they were surprised because this Aching was a name they give to one of the lists smartest Tono people they teach, never expecting that he had bad intentions from the start, and using the knowledge he learned from them to amass large company of Tono Tribesmen to rebel, which was a wake up call for them to not underestimate the intelligent of Tono People.
Fortunately for them, the trust they put in Ahuan wasn't wrong and he truly believed in the teaching they gave to him and used it to unite the Tono Tribesmen under Lie Fan's rule, and thanks to him they knew about this matter beforehand.
Now with Yang Hing and Yan Jun present, both Li Feng and Ling Cao gave the stage to the two of them as the leader and vice leader of Taipei, and more eloquent in trying Aching words than the two of them who were more brash in their choice of words.
After discussing who would respond, Yang Hong finally stepped forward and introduced himself to Aching and the Tono Tribesmen using the Tono language that he had learned.
The reason why he does this is because if he used the Han language, Aching could translate it for his men differently, and the meaning of the words he used could be twisted by Aching, which could incite the Tono Tribesmen under him further.
Aching and his men were surprised by Yang Hong who suddenly used their mother language, as they had never seen the Han people using them much before and Yang Hong eloquently using their language was a huge surprise.
Yang Hong who used the Tono language, replied to Aching by saying that they wouldn't surrender and hand over Taipei which was the hard work of the Han people, who let out their seat and tears in erecting Taipei to what it is today.
It was he who should ask them to stop doing this and surrender their arms because, in terms of numbers and arms, they were outmatched and under equipped to fight against them.
Yang continued by saying honestly that maybe if they didn't know about their presence, the Han Army would be defeated through their scheme but unfortunately for them, their presence had long been known and he had put up measures to guard against them.
Taipei was under curfew and martial law, so people who came in and out were searched thoroughly, and their companions who tried to infiltrate Taipei were found out and sent to prison.
So inside Taipei, everything was going peacefully, and the plan they had created to assassinate several officials and cause chaos had long been exposed and there was nothing left for them to cause distraction.
Aching hearing what Yang Hing had just said was surprised as he never expected that Yang Hong would find his scheme, and now that his plan had been exposed the easy way for him to take over Taipei, and the only resort was going to war.
Aching: "Brothers! All that man has just said are just lies! Our ancestors and gods have told me that everything was going according to our plan, now we need to just have faith and fight against these heathens while waiting for our brothers to come and support us!"
Tono 1: "Truly My Prince?! Humph! We almost just believe the words of a heathen! How could there be someone so evil?! We need to eradicate him for our ancestors and gods!!"
Tono 2: "But what if what that man said is true?! My Prince, are you sure that our ancestors and gods truly said that everything is going well?"
Tono 3: "How could you not believe what our prince has just said?! The great elders have told us that our prince has been chosen by our ancestors and gods, and that's why the day he was born the sky was very bright and nature was singing for him as birds surrounded his hut when he was born!"
Tono 2: "No it's not that I don't believe our prince, but I just want to make sure that my prince doesn't hear it wrong."
Aching: "It's okay let him be, my brother what I just said is 100% true our ancestors and gods bestowed this information upon me the moment that heathen said those words."
Aching words caused his men's spirit and morale to be lifted up through the roof as they let out a loud, and Aching seeing this was relieved that his men had high morale, as long as they could hold on the rest of his men would arrive to support them.
His father has tasked him to do this task and as his successor, he has to prove to his father that he is worthy to become his successor Taipei would be a perfect gift for his father where it would become the center of his power.
The vision that his father dreamed of having the entire Tono Tribe as his to rule would finally come true, and he has learned much knowledge from these foreigners who suddenly come to their land, he is sure that with his knowledge the vision of his father would come true soon.
Yang Hong, Yan Jun, Li Feng, and Ling Cao saw the sudden outbreak of cheers coming from the ranks of the Tono separatists, and Yang Hong concluded that his words didn't have any effect whatsoever.
He hoped that they could peacefully end this rebellion and enter the negotiation table, because the thousands of Tono tribesmen could boost their population, and they could integrate more of the Tono tribe into the Han culture.
Now that there was no other way other than to go to battle, and seeing that the Tono separatists would attack them any moment, both Yang Hing and Yan Jun stepped back and gave the command to Li Feng and Ling Cao, as the two would act as their strategists.
With Li Feng and Ling Cao taking command, they wanted to go on the offensive as from the looks of it the Tono Tribesmen didn't even have any siege weaponry except for lasers to climb the wall.
So they proposed to Yang Hong and Yan Jun that one of them would lead the cavalries, while the other one stayed on the wall to lead the defenses and keep the Tono separatist out.
Yang Hong and Yan Jun at first disagreed as they didn't want to take any chances, what if the Tono separatists had created an ambush for them after Li Feng and Ling Cao's persuasion they finally agreed, as rather than wasting time in a long defensive battle where the Tono separatist reinforcement will come.
After receiving permission from both of them, Li Feng and Ling Cao discussed who would lead the cavities and who would lead the defense, and finally, it was agreed upon that Li Feng would lead the cavalries while Ling Cao led the defenses.
Li Feng got down from the wall and headed toward where the cavalries were stationed, when he arrived there he immediately ordered them to mount up and prepare themself as he would lead them to mow down their enemies.
Hearing Li Feng's command, soon 3,000 cavalry riders got up on their horse after preparing themselves, and seeing that everything was ready Li Feng led them toward the gate.
When he arrived at the gate, the battle had already begun as the Tono separatist had erected their ladders to the wall placing them, and Ling Cao allowed the ladders to stay on where they would fend off the Tono separatists.
He leads the infantries and archers to guard the wall, where he allows the archers to fire at will causing casualties to the Tono separatist side.
As for the infantries, they fended off the Tono separation easily as their combat power and equipment were far below them, in the last they were overwhelmed due to them being vastly outnumbered.
Aching seeing that his men were being fended off easily was frustrated, because he tried his what to use the knowledge of so-called strategies and tactics to the best he could, but his men didn't respond to the orders or messed it up.
This is bad news for him because if he keeps this happening, soon he will not have any men left while his reinforcement would still be on their way.
While he was thinking about this matter, suddenly he saw the gate of Taipei was opened, and when he this that there was a chance the foreigners surrendered, he suddenly saw thousands of horses ride out.
Seeing this he knew that it was the so called cavalry, one of the units that he personally admired and he knew how dangerous they were so seeing this he was filled with dread as he didn't expect his enemies to go on the offensive.
As for Aching's men, some remembered the cavalry units while some didn't know about their existence, there were horses and they used them to ride but never in such coordinated movement, and with their horses being out some strange things in their mind.
The ones who have known could still remember the massacre that was once caused by these men on horses, and when some wanted to flee, Li Feng and his unit reached them first where using the momentum of their horse to mow down the ranks of the Tono separatist.
Flesh and bones were crushed under the horses that were adorned with light armor, and Li Feng alongside his riders used their spears to cause further damage by stabbing their left and right.
The 3,000 cavalries under Li Feng's leadership were like a boat sailing on a calm open sea, where there was no resistance and the winds were in the ship's favor to sail down the sea.
Soon the ranks of the Tono separatists were in chaos, as their weapons couldn't work perfectly against the 3,000 cavalries, and Aching who tried his best to calm down his men was suddenly blocked by Li Feng who used his spear to stab him.
Caught in fright by the sudden situation he found himself in, Aching raised a shield that he managed to smuggle out from Taipei for his own use and used it to block Li Feng's attack which managed to save him, but he was knocked down as he couldn't withstand the heavy blow from Li Feng's attack.
His arms were very sore after receiving Li Feng's attack and when he looked at the shield, he saw that it bent due to his using it to defend himself from Li Feng's attack, so he threw the shield out and got his sword he also steals out from the scabbard.
Seeing that Li Feng hadn't left after knocking him down, he stood up holding his speed, and challenged Li Feng to do a one-on-one with him.
Li Feng ignored his challenge, as he was still astounded that a man who was much smaller and skinner than him could still stand up after receiving his attack, and Aching who was ignored became angry and after letting out a loud warcry ran toward Li Feng who was on the top of his horse to attack him.
