Dawn was breaking as Li Yan, holding the Ring Dragon Han Sword, gazed into the distance.
The snow-covered Peony Peak shuddered with its forest sea, picturesque and poetic. A cannon fire in front of Pyongyang City shook off the snow from the mountain, momentarily lifting everyone's spirit. Ji Town's Deputy Officer Wu Weizhong drew his long sword and bellowed, "Pass my command, attack the mountain!"
"Attack the mountain!"
With a downward sweep of his hand, more than a hundred Ming soldiers surged up Peony Peak behind Li Yan!
Li Rusong's allotted quota was a total of eighty cavalrymen and more than one hundred thirty infantrymen, equipped with long spears or short knives and twenty crossbows. Among them, Deng Tianxiong and Diao Xiayan were appointed as Chief Flag Officers, while Wang Sheng and two others served as Junior Flag Officers.
