"The first and second thousand cavalry of the City Defense Army, follow me out to slay the thieves!" Suo Hanyi bellowed his orders.
"At your command." Atop the walls, the fully-armored cavalry shouted in response.
One quarter of an hour later, the city gates slowly opened.
Garbed in golden armor and crimson robes, Suo Hanyi, like a War God, led two thousand cavalry charging out of the city gates, toward the marauding army of ten thousand led by Suo Lun.
The ten thousand rabble by Suo Lun's side were mostly militia who were swayed by the sight of money, while the other half consisted of local ruffians and scoundrels.
How long could this rabble withstand the charge of Suo Hanyi's two thousand cavalry?
The answer was… half a minute!
