The Cold Door Hero

Summary

A troop of 6,000 cavalry, led by Cao Meng, arrived at Wuxi County after a two-day march. County magistrate Lu Zhi Yuan provided them with supplies, including premium black beans and pigs, to help the troops recover. A messenger from Supreme Commander Li Yan Qing informed Cao Meng that they would engage the enemy the next day, prompting them to prepare for an early departure. The Jiangnan army, consisting of 65,000 soldiers, had established a strong formation on the battlefield. Under the command of Xiang Fa, they prepared for battle. Meanwhile, the Jing Zhao army, slightly fatigued from training, awaited the enemy's move. Li Yan Qing ordered his troops to remain patient as both sides faced off in a tense standoff. As rain began to fall, Xiang Fa realized that the weather had affected the effectiveness of his crossbowmen. He ordered a retreat for them just as the Jing Zhao cavalry charged forward. With a single command from Li Yan Qing, the Jing Zhao cavalry surged into battle, targeting the retreating crossbowmen. Both sides engaged in fierce combat, with cavalry and infantry clashing as they sought to outmaneuver one another.
