Nirvana in Fire

Episode 44

-Hurry, hurry-Almost done

-Keep up in the back. -Everyone keep up. -Hurry.

Hurry, keep up with them.

3000 against 50,000 troops.

Our military strength and morale are both insufficient.

The camp is on the grasslands. It's completely flat. There's no fortified place that's easy to defend.

If Prince Yu organizes his troops and attacks directly,

we'll definitely lose.

Then your meaning is

first disrupt their strategy?

Their vanguard has 5000 soldiers. They must be tired after traveling the long distance.

We must attack before they set up their camp, while they are still unprepared.

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Stop.

Your Highness, the vanguard encountered a surprise attack and suffered heavy losses.

They initiated an attack?

Xiao Jingyan is actually prepared.

My Lord, you need not worry. After all, he only has 3,000 troops

while my vanguard alone has 5,000.

Let us reorganize and capture the Hunting Palace in one swoop.

No. Send the order to build camp.

Build camp?

But that'll give them an extra day to strengthen their defenses. They might come up with something unexpected.

I have my own plans. Promptly deliver the order

for the follow-up units to speed up.

No break tonight. They must arrive by tomorrow noon.

Chief.

Commanding General Meng's bravery is without equal. Qingli Army's vanguard has been defeated in one strike.

As you predicted, the Qingli Army's morale is unstable. They had no will to fight.

After the vanguard was defeated

Prince Yu built camp. There's no indication that he will attack immediately.

After this fight, Prince Yu will not dare to rashly attack our camp.

We have gained an extra day.

Prince Yu will not wait. This mustbe his smokescreen.

I expect he will secretly send troops to surround us.

Meng dage, set a trap on the mountains before daybreak.T/N: "-dage" is an endearing term used by males towards older males

You cannot let them surround us.

Quick! Charge up that mountain!

Quick!

Gather the princes and the imperial clan to the back palace to accompany His Majesty.

Marquis Yan is responsible for allocating the spare rooms

to everyone in the retinue.

Yu Jin.

You're the most familiar with everyone. Go add up the able bodied fighters in each household.

Give the numbers to Sir Su.

Yes, Your Ladyship.

I knew this day would come.

Jinghuan is Princess Ling Long's son after all.

Perhaps the situation

isn't as bad as your Majesty thinks it is.

How can it be worse than using his peopleto revolt against me?

It's even more hateful than Prince Qi and theChiyan army.

What's the current situation outside?

The Imperial Guards are locked in battle.

With Commander General Meng here,you can be at ease.

With Meng Zhi here, I'm not worried.

Sir Su.

Why didn't you stay in the Hunting Palace? Why did you come down?

I want to fight the enemy too.

-You are still young.-Da Liang is in trouble, Prince Jing is doing his part

and as a man, I should do my part as well.

Alright, I will give you a task.

Okay.

Ting Shen and Gong Yu attend!

Yes.

I order you two to return immediately to the Hunting Palace

and protect the imperial family.

Any accidents will be punished according to martial law.

Understood.

Gong Yu jie-jie.

Understood.

Hurry.

Another one.

Hurry up, bring it inside.

Bring it all inside. Hurry.

This way. This way.

One two, step. Step together.

Retreat!

Run run!

This time, the Qingli army must have incurred much damage.

After the fire, the Qing Li army probablystill has 30 000 - 40 000

We have already done everything we canin regards of defense for the hunting palace.

This next battle, I have no more plans.

The only way is to guard till death.

What? They abandoned the tents and retreated into the hunting palace?

Yes, they left the camp empty.

They hid bombs everywhere, we got seriously hurt and many dead.

Although the hunting palace is easy to defendand hard to attack,

bu they have no way out. Xiao Jingyan should understand

they cannot hold for long with just defense.

Unless he has already sent someone to get support from another army

The closest Ji city army will take at least two days to get to,

it would take four days to return, evenif they are coming it will be in two days.

No matter what, we must take the hunting palace today.

Father, getting to where we are today

you cannot blame anyone

it's because you forced me.

I don't know if Prince Jing can get back by sundown.

Until the last moment, I will not fall.

Nobody can fall.

Close the gates.

Brother Su, all the people we can use, I have gathered.

Let them all stand guard in front of the palace.

There are many people herewho has never seen battle.

Are you sure you want to be in the front lines?

Are you expecting me to sit backthere with the elder folks?

Fei Liu, stay with Yujin ge-ge.

Brother Su, please watch over my father.

200 steps.

150 steps.

100 steps.

Let loose the arrows!

-Right general.-I am here.

Take soldiers and attack.

Uncle, uncle.

It will be alright.

Hurry and run, it's on fire.

Hurry and come into the palace.

Quickly, close the doors.

Close the doors!

Don't go near.

All troops on the walls.

Hurry up, up the walls.

Hurry up the wall.

Quickly.

Block the doors.

The heavily armored soldiers are here, we are already out of arrows and stones.

Jingyan has still not arrived?

Your Majesty, don't worry. Jingyan will come.

If the rebels do get in here, will Prince Yureally do something to us?

Silence!

This unfilial son, how could he manageto get in here.

I trust Meng Zhi. I trust Jingyan.

Go up to the city walls, light the oil.

Again.

Fire.

Extinguish the fire, quickly!

Why is the supporting army not here yet?

The hunting palace is the last line of defense.

Of course it isn't.

Even if they pass the fortress gates, there is still the palace gates.

If they get through that door, thereis still us.

As long as we are still alive, we have not lost.

Your Majesty, you too have a sword by your side.

Your majesty has also once battled with the sword.

Isn't that right?

Your Majesty.

The edge of life and death, my subjects.

We are here.

Kill the criminals with me!

Zhen Ping!

Yes!

-Imperial soldiers.-Present.

Draw your weapons.

This gate is Liang's last line of defense.

The criminals are about to break throughand attack the Great Liang.

Who is willing to defeat the enemies with me?!

We are all willing!

Charge!

They're almost here.

Qing Li army listen to orders, Xu Anmo and Prince Yu have committed treasonand have been taken down by me

the Qing Li army who don't know what's going on, immediately surrender, the ones who keep fighting, kill them.

The supporting army is here.

Nihuang jiejie!

Yujin, is Sir Su okay? Is everyone alright?

Everyone is inside.

It is Nihuang. Your Majesty, please open the gates!

Nihuang? It's Nihuang!

Quickly, let her in.

Yes.

Nihuang has belatedly come to provide relief. Are you all well?

Nihuang, why are you here?

Thankfully Wei Mausoleum and Jiuan Mountain are notfar from each other. He sent a letter to me on his way to the supporting army base.

I first led 1000 soldiers who were keeping vigil at the mausoleum,

so they could support the inner halls first. The Ji City Army will be here soon.

Right now Prince Jing is cleaning up the traitorous soldiers around the fortress.

When the situation is safe, he will come report to you.

Defeated, Hui Yao escaped?

How can this be?

I have 50 000 soldiers, they only have 3000 Jin sldiers.

How could I have lost?

Your Highness, your Highness! They're here!

-What did you say?-Prince Yu!

Fifth brother, you have no other options.Surrender now.

Gong Yu, are you alright?

I'm alright, just a flesh wound.

Take her to the back and have the physicians look after her.

Come, careful.

Slowly.

-Commander General-Good work

Are you injured?

I am fine. But my men are.

There is only about 30% alive.

Thank you for your hard work. You should rest now

and allow me to handle the remaining tasks.

Your Highness.

Although it was dangerous, after this

nobody can stop Jingyan now.

I have already captured Xiao Jinghuan, the Ji city army is on there way to protect your highness.

Please take back the army seal.

Thank you. How is your injury?

It is not serious.

You lost so much blood, how can you sayyou are fine.

As long as his Majesty and mother are safe,this mere flesh wound is nothing.

Before we return, the Ji city army is under your command.

The traitorous soldiers must all be caught.

I understand.

These last few days, you must havetraveled non-stop

have the physician look at your woundand rest a bit.

There are still many things to complete, when everything is done then I will rest.

How is the situation on the mountain?

When I arrived, the fortress had already lost half its defense, many are dead or wounded.

The Jin army has battled for three days, there deaths and injuries are devastating

when Commander General Meng and I have figured out the numbers, I will report back.

Where is that unfilial son of mine?

He has been confined by me. Ifyou wish to speak with him, I will havehim brought here to the palace.

No. I want to go there personally.

Lets go.

Your Majesty.

Unfilial son.

You schemed the gunpowder factory and colluded with the Xuanjing Bureau.

I considered your respectful heart

and only demoted you and grounded you.

i didn't think that your ambition

would make you start a rebellion.

With ethics like yours, you wish to be the ruler?

son

I have been blind in my favour of you

all these years.

Father, it wasn't you that was blind allthese years.

It was Princess Linglong that was blind.

What are you talking about?

Everyone says I am the son most similar to you.

But from what I see

when you finished using Princess Linglong

it wasn't enough to destroy their kingdom

you should have also killed that prince

that is what is called

pulling out the roots to prevent future problems.

Am I right, father?
