Adopted Husband.

Summary

In the afternoon of June 30, during the second year of Jingping, the Western Xia army, numbering a hundred thousand, advanced northeast from Dongzhiyuan. The army was organized in an elliptical formation, with various troop types layered for protection. Scout units and infantry followed closely, while light cavalry guarded against surprise attacks. The elite troops, totaling over twenty-five thousand, moved steadily forward. As the army advanced, they faced a smaller enemy force with a black flag, which split into two routes during their retreat, indicating a strategic maneuver rather than a simple flight. The Western Xia forces did not split but continued to push forward, leveraging their numerical superiority. Li Qian Shun, the commander, felt contempt for the smaller force and was determined to annihilate them. Meanwhile, in a nearby barren area, a man drawing water noticed two foreign riders approaching. Realizing the danger, he attempted to flee but was wounded by one of the riders. As he struggled to protect his daughter, two Han riders intervened, defeating the foreign attackers. One of the Han riders offered medicine to the injured man before leaving, urging him to escape as the area was unsafe.
