Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

In August, as winter approached in Hu Tian, the people of Ping County were energized by the opportunity to reclaim Yan Yun amidst the turmoil of the Chongyuan Rebellion. Wang Liang Jing had assembled 3,000 heavy cavalry, selected for their robust physiques, and trained them for a year, though only 1,000 were equipped with plate armor. The armory, supervised by Zeng Gong, was producing high-quality armor using innovative techniques and resources. Meanwhile, Yu Jing's successful transport of 8,000 Mavari horses bolstered their cavalry, and despite initial concerns over costs, Wang Ning An was grateful for the acquisition. With the arrival of these horses, they prepared a formidable force of 3,000 iron cavalry, alongside light cavalry and infantry, totaling 73,000 troops ready to reclaim Yan Yun. In Youzhou City, Ye Lu Zhong Yuan declared himself emperor, rallying 80,000 troops and expressing confidence in his rebellion against the Great Song. He dismissed the need for support from the Song, arrogantly believing in his inevitable victory. Lv Hui Qing, representing the Song, attempted to negotiate but faced Zhong Yuan's arrogance and threats. As Wang Ning An contemplated the upcoming battle, he received news of Zhong Yuan's divided forces, igniting his anger and determination to witness the downfall of his opponent.
