God is in Flight
None stood in the field with him, the gates of the city stayed shut. Tao Qian cowered within.

01.jpg


He laughed as he set it ablaze before riding away. It would be weeks before anyone dared to venture out of the gates.
Tao Qian died a broken man later that year, cursing his weakness and helplessness.

27.jpg


In Pu Yang, Gan Ning assembles a massive force in Dun Qiu.

02.jpg


The balance of power has shifted in the north.

03.jpg


We cannot miss this opportunity.

04.jpg


Lu Bu receives an unexpected guest that day...

06.jpg

07.jpg


A fine bounty for an insignificant man.
Elsewhere, Zhang Liao broke through Chang An's defenses.

08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

11.jpg


The Emperor is merely means to an end.

12.jpg


A few fools think otherwise.
Holding the city with Emperor's throne within gives us a huge Tech Point bonus per turn.
There's almost no reason to dethrone him. It makes you look bad, and can ruin your officers' loyalties who are supportive of the declining Han Dynasty.

Yellow River
13.jpg


We've arrived.

15.jpg


Fire at will.

16.jpg


Yuan Shao prefers a land battle and lets our forces capture the port.

19.jpg


The Beast of the East arrives.

20.jpg


The stakes are high. Yuan Shao's about to be devoured whole.

21.jpg

22.jpg


No less than 40,000 landed on the northern shores that day. Determined never to return until the whole northern China is theirs.

23.jpg

28.jpg

25.jpg


Even a brute like Yan Liang knew the risks, and dare not bet it all in a glorified deathmatch.

26.jpg


Such display of cowardice was enough to shaken the resolve of his men. A few dispersed, those who stayed loosen the grips on their spears, ready to cast it aside the moment God's wrath is upon them.

Drying One's Feet
Ping Yuan - Yuan Shao's men struggles is just the beginning.

03.jpg


When a brute such as Yan Liang avoids direct confrontations and went for fire tactics, you know you're at an advantage.

04.jpg

05.jpg


They should've consolidated their forces, retreat, regroup, reinforce. Bide their time.
Instead, they've only come here for a senseless death and defeat.

07.jpg

08.jpg

09.jpg


Thousands of cavalry crashed against one another, formations dispersed and reformed.

10.jpg

11.jpg


The defenders have nothing but hope left.

12.jpg


Not even winter can stop the burning wrath of God.

14.jpg

15.jpg


As the will of his army grew weaker and weaker, Lu Bu instructs a Band platform to be erected.

16.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg


A few generals were captured.

23.jpg

22.jpg

19.jpg


One did not make it.

20.jpg


The city's fate is sealed when the construction was completed.

21.jpg


The last remaining defenders can only watch as more and more attackers cut off their escape route.

24.jpg

25.jpg

26.jpg

27.jpg


Yuan Shao's fall is complete.
Even the Jews are pleased.

28.jpg


Taking stock of the situation, a few officers were instructed to stay behind and quickly construct barracks.

29.jpg


Normally, one would expect Lu Bu's Army to recover and wait for reinforcements before advancing further - but not today.

30.jpg


Already a supply convoy of 15,000 heads out from Pu Yang to reinforce the captured city.

31.jpg


There's no reason to hold back.

32.jpg


Let's bet it all, Yan Liang!

33.jpg

Time waits for No Man
With Yan Liang taken care of, the last of Yuan Shao's defenders crumbled.

01.jpg


The band is ready, drums will be beaten. Prepare for siege!
As the Siege towers advances, the commanders of Lu forces taunts the defenders who cowered repeatedly.

02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

RTKXI%202014-08-10%2003-54-03-19.jpg


Each taunt demoralizes the enemy troops further, they knew their time is at end while Lu Bu forces continue to gather an extra step in their march to the city.

06.jpg


Soon, the beating of the drums spread and the soldiers get to work.
Another one of Yuan Shao's heir is captured.

08.jpg


So too, his cowering strategist who refused to duel twice.

09.jpg

10.jpg


Onward!

11.jpg

12.jpg


Pu Yang convoy is ready to move out.

13.jpg


Will Lu Bu stop here?

Remove North - Hold Center
Lu Bu gave the order to vacate Ye. A token force is left behind to safeguard the city, but no development will take place.

01.jpg


Instead of finishing off Yuan Shao, Lu Bu's army marches north towards Gongsun Zan's domain.

02.jpg


Already a 15,000 strong convoy from Pu Yang is heading towards Ping Yuan while 19,000 of Ping Yuan's conquerors will relocate to the front lines.

The Emperor, aware of the warlord's growing influence, rewards Lu Bu with a higher position.

03.jpg


12,000 Elite is now under his command.

04.jpg

05.jpg


Zhao Yun rode out to meet the God of War in battle... will he survive?

06.jpg


Gongsun Zan too, personally rode into battle.
Thousands perished in the initial charges.

07.jpg


The battle for the north has just begun...
08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

11.jpg

12.jpg


Shd've fucked this guy over when I had the chance. Grrr.
Never mind, let us focus with the north for now.

13.jpg

14.jpg


Lu Bu spared no effort, more than 40,000 men were committed in the offense.
Zhao Yun's cavalry were burned, charged and eventually devastated by the combined assault.

16.jpg

15.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg

19.jpg


Not even the famed general can maintain control in the wake of the Flying General's stampede.

20.jpg


He will prove to be a worthy ally once converted to our cause.
Gongsun Zan is outnumbered and watch helplessly as the commanders of the siege towers hurl insults as they marched past him to lay siege to his cities.

21.jpg

22.jpg


Elsewhere in Chang An, Zhang Liao begins a military reform.

25.jpg


This will increase commanding cap by 3,000 each per officer on top of their ranks.
In the north, Ping Yuan is vacated as Lu Bu declared the occupation of Nan Pi is a 'mere formality.'
26.jpg

27.jpg

28.jpg

29.jpg


In the chaos, Gongsun Zan escaped. An opportunity lost to fracture the weak power further.
No matter, the convoy from Ping Yuan resupplies Lu Bu with fresh men and horses.

30.jpg


He will not stop at Nan Pi.

31.jpg


A lone guard tower signals a border crossing between Nan Pi and Gongsun Zan's northern territory.
Nary a shot were fired by the defenders as the structure collapsed in a single volley from two Siege Towers.

32.jpg

33.jpg


A decisive battle is about to take place in the north.

34.jpg

35.jpg


Gongsun Zan summoned 25,000 from the north and leads 26,000 with his two brothers from the east.

It's time...

Breaking Point
lubu.jpg

Gan Ning's 6,000 cavalry were on point to take all the initial hits.

01.jpg

02.jpg


Over 2,000 of his men perished in the initial attack, but the Drums are completed.

03.jpg


The counter-assault can begin.

04.jpg


Yue Jin's siege tower rained fiery death on the weakest troop command.

04.jpg

05.jpg

07.jpg

06.jpg


One down.

08.jpg


Xu Zhu, protecting her Ladyship, Diao Chan executes a confusing strategy on Gongsun Zan, paralyzing his 11,000 strong horse archers.

09.jpg


Yu Jin's 11,000 strong cavalry arrival will tilt the balance.

10.jpg


But Gongsun Zan's White Horsemen remain defiant and rain down their arrows at range.
As much as Gongsun Zan tried, Diao Chan's trickery and guile was too much for him to handle, he lacks a strategist - and could not maintain control in the battle.

11.jpg


A misfortune that shall be exploited utterly by the Flying General, who is now tearing apart his men at will.

12.jpg

13.jpg

14.jpg


One by one he broke their formations, laying confusion and chaos in his wake.
Even Gan Ning, who is down to merely a thousand men still has a last ace to pull.

15.jpg

16.jpg


The lack of capable strategist costed Gongsun's warriors dearly... they are unable to retaliate as blow after blow devastate their numbers. Eventually Gan Ning had to pull back or risk losing the supplies he's carrying. He left Nan Pi with 6,000 but returned with a mere 217.

18.jpg


He suffered the most loss that day, but it is no matter - the job is done.

19.jpg


Gongsun's force is in complete disarray. And for every loss, fresh troops is already enroute to keep the momentum of the offense.

20.jpg

21.jpg


There is no hope. No escape from this devastation.

22.jpg


Fiery death flew overhead,

23.jpg


Insults were hurled.

24.jpg

25.jpg


More troops entered the fray from Gongsun's city.
So did ours.

26.jpg


Gan Ning return to the field with 9,000 fresh cavalry.

27.jpg

28.jpg


You've lost this day, general.

29.jpg

32.jpg


Gongsun Zan beat a hasty retreat - his main force annihilated, he knew the city and the last trace of his ambitions is lost.

33.jpg


The Band platform signals the beginning of the siege.

34.jpg


More troops poured forth from Pu Yang.

35.jpg


Snow is falling, blood is flowing.
Man's hot steel set the wood ablaze.

36.jpg


The Heavens grew cold.

37.jpg


The Earth crumble beneath his steps.

38.jpg


198 AD: Gongsun Zan's defeat signals the change of Northern territory power. Lu Bu's control over northern China is now only a matter of time. Where will he move next?

No Equal
die2.jpg

01.jpg


More territories, more title.

02.jpg


Let them come. They will only be crushed.

03.jpg


Zhang Liao will not let them pass..
In the Northern Province of Ji, another powerful general will stand with Lu Bu.

04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg


No time to waste. Yuan Shao's final stronghold awaits...
Elsewhere, Ma Teng's assault on Li Jue's city does not go unnoticed...

07.jpg

11.jpg


Zhang Liao may be able to capitalize, after he deals with the pitiful attackers.

09.jpg



Meanwhile, Lu Bu marches once again, this time to end Yuan Shao.

12.jpg

13.jpg

14.jpg


Zhao Yun and Gan Ning trails behind the great warlord as he carves a path of destruction.
Elsewhere, Zhang Liao of Chang An charges forth!

15.jpg


While Yu Jin and Yue Jin mount an assault on Gongsun Zan's weakened provinces.

19.jpg


Two cities left for Gongsun's clan. It's do or die.
Xu Huang escorts Lady Diao Chan as the latter unleashes chaos within the enemy's ranks.

20.jpg

21.jpg


Elsewhere, Zhang Liao is making good progress, tearing through anyone standing between him and An Ding.

22.jpg

23.jpg


The drums are ready. Let there be war.

30.jpg

32.jpg


Elsewhere, Zhao Yun, cool-headed at the stakes of war, refuses a challenge from Wen Chou.

24.jpg

25.jpg


That man is not after glory and swept aside the brute's 500 men in the next attack.

26.jpg


Yuan Shao rides out for the last time. Looks like the audience have taken their seats.

31.jpg


As Wen Chou exited the gates with a few thousand spearmen, Lu Bu decides it's time to setup the finale.

Ride of the West
the-ravages-of-time-3088115.jpg

01.jpg


Wen Chou, Yuan Shao's deadliest officer is finally captured.
Outside Bei Ping, Gongsun Zan's men capitulated one by one.

02.jpg

03.jpg

05.jpg


Meanwhile in the west, the Siege of An Ding enters its final stages.

04.jpg

06.jpg


They can't rest easy...

07.jpg

10.jpg


Not with Ma Chao-led offensive underway.

08.jpg

09.jpg


Cowards.
A plague spreads in Pu Yang, killing our soldiers and ruining morale in the city.

11.jpg


Bei Ping falls, Gongsun Zan is down to one last city.

13.jpg

14.jpg


Guo Jia finished preparing the defense of An Ding.

12.jpg


While in the South, Yuan Shu makes his move.

15.jpg


Yan Liang and Wei Xu is dispatched to handle the southern threat.

18.jpg


More plague, this time Chen Liu.

16.jpg


Elsewhere in the north, Gan Ning's supplies is running out. Men are beginning to desert.

17.jpg


Ma Chao arrives, An Ding looks vulnerable.

19.jpg


Xun You deploys strategic chaos to buy the defense some time.

20.jpg


Wei Xu applies the same strategy in the south, while Yan Liang applies the killer blows.

21.jpg

22.jpg

23.jpg


It's a race against time in the north.

24.jpg

26.jpg

27.jpg


Suffer not the fool.

28.jpg

29.jpg


All of Yuan's family was summarily executed.
We kept the talented ones close to convert to our cause.
The less talented captives were let go to save costs.

30.jpg

31.jpg

32.jpg


Another falls before me.
But An ding is beginning to crumble...

Taming the Horse
Zhang Liao charges at Ma Chao, inflicting heavy casualties.

02.jpg


An Ding is about to fall, the city is lost... temporarily. Cao Xing is given the order to vacate the city, taking all the valuables with him.

03.jpg

04.jpg


Elsewhere in the central plains, Yan Liang is about to murder the false emperor's men.

05.jpg


His charge killed the enemy commander, Li Feng.

06.jpg


Without a deputy, the 2000 strong troops dispersed.
Leaving just Ji Ling on the field, who succumbed to another ploy from Wei Xu.

07.jpg


Meanwhile, a surprise attack by Li Jue's men on Luo Yang caught Chen Gong off-guard.

08.jpg


No matter, troops were dispatched from Chen Liu to deal with the minor problem.
While Dian Wei destroys the invaders of Chang An in Zhang Liao's absence.

09.jpg

10.jpg


In the North, Zhang Liao's plan were executed flawlessly.

11.jpg


Ma Chao's army rushed into the city, discovering nothing to plunder.
All he did was remove his 5,000 strong cavalry away from the battlefield where it is more needed.

12.jpg


His comrades in arms will have to deal with the numerical inferiority now.

13.jpg


They shall not last long.
Realizing his mistake, Ma Chao marched out of the gates with a small number of cavalry.

14.jpg


Too little, too late. An Ding will be their grave.

15.jpg


Gao Shun burns An Ding. 7,000 of its defenders await their fate.

17.jpg

18.jpg


With a surprise of its own.
Considering that the deadly Ma Chao is next in line if we execute this man, we decided to release him instead.

19.jpg


Elsewhere, Yan Liang dispatched the last of Yuan Shu's men.

16.jpg


And Li Jue's attack faced a two pronged defense from Chang An and Luo Yang.

20.jpg


To the East, our superior training enables Yue Jin's men to cross the river shallows while Xu Huang distracts Gongsun Zan on the main roads.

21.jpg

22.jpg


Our technique points have gathered to the point we can finally master the art of city sieges with Yunnan Ladders.

23.jpg


It will take some time and a massive amount of gold, but it shall be worth it.
Elsewhere, Lu Bu arrives in Chang An and prepare to march against Li Jue's final stronghold.

24.jpg

25.jpg

26.jpg


Their number is formidable.
Elsewhere in the south, Yuan Shu faces the wrath of the Imperial Uncle.

28.jpg


His failed ventures into our territory has left him vulnerable to an attack from Liu Bei.
A force of 25,000 marches from Xiao Pei to take on Shou Chun.
Lu Bu is undecided on exploiting that battle, considering the sizeable garrison at Xiao Pei.
Meanwhile in the north, Gongsun Zan's fall is just a matter of time.

29.jpg


And Lu Bu's invasion of Wan proved to be problematic.

30.jpg


The narrow terrain and numerous defenders make it difficult to dictate the offense.

31.jpg


The strategist's ploys have failed him this time.

32.jpg


Thousands bar his way, holding him back till winter.

33.jpg

34.jpg


Gongsun Zan submits in the north.

36.jpg

37.jpg


The less capable officers were released - we rather not spend gold to keep them well-fed in captivity.

38.jpg


With Gongsun Zan's defeat, Lu Bu dominance over Central Plains and North China is stronger than ever.

Everyone Wan It
For the first time ever, Lu Bu gets bogged down by enemy's strategies.

01.jpg


I regret not attaching Xun Yu to the team. Gan Ning's 72 INT wasn't sufficient to protect him.
Yuan Shu, sensing an opportunity, dared to march for Wan.

02.jpg


This is a big mistake for him. Liu Bei is already sieging Shou Chun. And weakening Xu Chang will make it easier for me to take.
Already the remnants of the Northern Expedition arrives at the shores of Chang An.

03.jpg


Research Complete.

04.jpg


Yunnan Ladders; no enemy base is safe from our force now.
Resupplying of Wan's attack force is complete.

05.jpg


Time to turn the tide.

06.jpg


Elsewhere Gongsun Zan agree to serve under Lu Bu. He is a good cavalry commander.

07.jpg


The race for Wan begins.

Chinks in Armor
A former vassal of Yuan Shao is sick of captivity and decides to escape...

01.jpg


No matter, we have no shortage of talents.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei's capture of Shou Chun does not go unnoticed by the Imperial Court.

02.jpg


Elsewhere, the battle for Wan rages on.

03.jpg


After nearly months of dogged fighting, Zhang Liao finally broke through and setup a Band platform to rouse the siege towers.

04.jpg


Elsewhere, our forces from Chen Liu performs an opportunistic strike on the weakened garrison of Xu Chang.

05.jpg


It was amusing to discover that they've completely ran out of armaments to equip their soldiers. Our cavalry will make short work of them.

06.jpg


Liu Biao decides to get involved in Wan, sending 14,000 troops.

07.jpg


Elsewhere, Liu Bei has the audacity to attempt a naval invasion to the northern territories.

08.jpg


It's too bad their arrival at Ping Yuan coincides with our forces being pulled back from Gongsun Zan's territories.
Which brings us to this confusing event...

09.jpg


Uh, OK. Ah Pi... just don't betray me or anything.

10.jpg


He's not that good to be honest.
Elsewhere, Zhang Liao wreaks havoc on Liu Biao's men.

11.jpg


Their involvement will cost them dearly.

12.jpg


3,400 archers died within two continuous cavalry charge.

13.jpg

14.jpg


Li Jue's end grew ever near.
Yan Liang's arrival on the outskirts of Xu Chang signals the foregone conclusion for Yuan Shu's defenders.

15.jpg


Death to servants of the false emperor!
Meanwhile in the north, Liu Bei's men tastes a brief victory.

16.jpg


No matter. Wan is ours.

17.jpg


The flies surrounding this pile of filth will be swept asunder.

18.jpg


That suits me just fine.

21.jpg

19.jpg


As usual, we kept the talented ones captive, those who are of lower caliber are set free.

23.jpg


Horsebows research complete, let's ride and rain death at high speed.

25.jpg


Yuan Shu's reign will end soon.
Who will Lu Bu devour next?

Paint it Black
We've left Liu Bei alone for too long, if left unchecked - he might get too powerful.

01.jpg


I've moved Yu Jin to the port of Gao Tang. We're getting an invasion ready.
Strangely, they're thinking the same thing.

02.jpg


Jia Xu joins our pool of talent.

03.jpg

05.jpg


Horsebows research completed.
Scrambling Yue Jin and Yu Jin in the waters to intercept Liu Bei's attack force.

04.jpg


This should be easy.
Elsewhere Xu Chang walls crumble against repeated onslaughts. No siege towers were needed.

07.jpg


Elsewhere, Wen Chou marches west to attack Liu Biao's weak holdings.

08.jpg


Like taking candy from a baby.
In the waters of Yellow River, the two Jins proved too strong for Liu Bei's attack force to breakthrough. The port of Lin Ji becomes their cremation grounds.

09.jpg


Another city falls to us.

10.jpg


No rest for the strong, Lu Bu will march on towards Liu Biao's Xin Ye. That old warlord is too weak and needs to be culled.

11.jpg


In the west, opportunity beckons in the Ma Teng's territory.

12.jpg


The city of Tian Shui seems to struggle in handling its defenses. We will make a move once the preparations are complete.
While Liu Bei's forces manage to hit the waters, only to face an impregnable port of Gao Tang.

13.jpg


Their offensive accomplishes nothing.
Zhang Liao decides he has rested enough in Wan and joins his master in taking Xin Ye.

14.jpg


Ma Teng forces rally in the western plains as Zhao Yun leads an attack force from An Ding.

15.jpg

16.jpg


This seems like an even match. Our war strategist, Xun You was routed in the early battles, setting us back a few days.
No matter, this isn't the only attack force we sent to capture the city.

17.jpg


18,000 cavalry from Chang An make their way from the southern roads.
At Xin Ye, the defenders finally appear outside the gates, they were greeted with a wicked laughter.

18.jpg

19.jpg


And was cast aside immediately.
Yan Liang's force captures Shang Yong.

20.jpg


While Yu Jin secures a point of invasion at Lin Ji.

21.jpg

22.jpg


Bei Hai just lost around 18,000 men. Time to take it.
Zhao Yun proved to be a deadly distraction to Ma Teng's defenses.

23.jpg


He killed Ma Dai, scattering 4,000 men in his wake.
Elsewhere Xin Ye, drums were beaten.

24.jpg


The walls of Xin Ye is about to take a severe pounding.
Gongsun Zan leads the convoy across the yellow river, Bei Hai is the goal.

25.jpg


Xin Ye is ours.

26.jpg

30.jpg


So is Ma Teng's second last city.

28.jpg

29.jpg


And Liu Bei loses Bei Hai.

31.jpg


Only one city remain for the Ma family to hide in.

32.jpg


This is a harsh world.

33.jpg


Only the strongest survive.

Quite a bit of map-painting going on there. Is the game tedious at this point? Seems you steamroll any and all opposition. :M

Actually this is the first time I'm adopting a 'rush strategy'.
Few years back I'd wait till the whole army is ready, do a bit more city development and garrison is prepared before invading.
And I hardly do multiple fronts at once.
This time however, I'm just going all out and was surprised at how much quicker it gets.

No Horse Run
Liu Biao finally had enough and sent men from Jiang Xia to attack Xin Ye.

01.jpg


:lol:

Elsewhere, another Liu makes a better attempt to retake his lost city.

02.jpg


No sense in rushing them down. Yue Jin and company will engage once they're right outside the city.
In northwestern corner of China, the Ma Clan makes their final stand.

03.jpg


While Zhang Lu, the lone king of Han Zhong decides this is the best time to attack the most powerful force in Central China.

04.jpg


Poor decision, my friend.
I've severely underestimated Ma Teng's tenacity and is about to take heavy casualty.

05.jpg


But so what? We got more troops incoming. It's the end for them either way.

06.jpg

07.jpg


I've also sent out Wen Chou from Shang Yong to teach Zhang Lu a lesson.
More ranks granted by the Emperor.

Wish I can just tell Ma Teng to surrender, he doesn't have a chance in hell.

Too bad really, I look forward to working with him later.
Liu Bei stacks more troops to retake Bei Hai.

11.jpg


Too bad the caliber of their officer left much to be desired.
Wen Chou is within striking distance of Han Zhong.

13.jpg


Time to quake in fear.
While the Battle for Wu Wan heats up.

We're gonna need an extra push.
Which is why Gao Shun is coming with 13,000 cavalry.

Most of the Least
Tian Shui forces number just 10,000. But I have full confidence in the defense.

01.jpg


In fact, that attack has weakened Han Zhong enough that Wen Chou should be capable enough to sweep aside the defenders and clear a path for an easy siege.

02.jpg

03.jpg


That prediction however, is slightly premature - Wen Chou's lack of intellect may hamper progress.

04.jpg


A successful misinformation has forced him into a retreat. :argh:
Oh well, just a mere delay. Nothing more. Let's take a look at Ma Teng's last stand.

05.jpg

06.jpg


I think we're about to lose our first siege tower. Not bad. But Gao Shun is here, and that's that.

07.jpg


Elsewhere in Bei Hai...

08.jpg


Hahahah, all quantity but no quality. Time to sweep these fools aside. They even put Liu Bei's wife in charge of the battering ram. What the fuck indeed.

09.jpg


As expected they went after the drums first.

11.jpg


That attack boost from the drums and the gap in officer quality is too wide to overcome. I don't see any problem. In fact, a counter-offensive within a month is very likely once we've dealt with the attackers.
Oh, the Emperor also promoted Lu Bu again for his dominance over northern China.

12.jpg


Tian Shui's looking rough with those two battering rams within a month's march to the walls.

14.jpg


But that's if Yan Liang's cavalry from Chang An didn't make it in time...

15.jpg


:smug: Leaving them exposed was your last mistake.

16.jpg


Wen Chou overcame his intellect deficiency and cleared a path for Hao Meng's siege tower.
While in Bei Hai, everything is over once the rams were dealt with.

18.jpg


Oh, about that 7,000 that Liu Biao sent - Lu Bu will deal with them personally...

19.jpg

Gao Shun lay the foundation for the Band platforms. It's time to siege Wu Wan!

As expected, Liu Bei's untalented attack force fell apart in Bei Hai.

27.jpg


Ma Chao wipes out Gan Ning's fleeing cavalry, but it was all in vain.

30.jpg

31.jpg


With the Band Platform completed, we can start laying siege on Wu Wei.

32.jpg


The defenders numbers dwindled.

35.jpg


:salute: Suffer not the weak.
At Tian Shui, the drafting is done even during battles.

36.jpg


Yan Liang has routed one siege engine, and is about to tear into another.
The Emperor grew impressed at Lu Bu's capable leadership.

37.jpg


With his wife, daughter, and best friend in town, he returns to Chang An to receive the honor bestowed upon him.

38.jpg

With the Duke title under his belt, he can now lead 17,000 soldiers into battle...
I think it's fucking gg.

The End?
