Er Yin repeatedly receiving hits from Mongke Khan. While she keep standing up every time she falls. His long braided hair soon begins to stick on his face. His sweat beads roll down his face. His fist is shaking in pain. For the first time, he haven't see any of his opponent standing up after he strike them down. He begin to feel annoyance from her. While Er Yin is watching carefully when is her better time to strike and where to strike. Mongke Khan watch the bloody face of Er Yin and wonder when is she going to strike.
The Duke and his men are trying their best to kill every Mongol who is in their way. Their weapons are stain with fresh blood. Their body and their souls are all emotionless. All they know is to stay alive. The Duke using his long leg, he sweep low and trip those who are coming. Once they fall, it is his chance to stab them. His motto is to kill them with one strike. Killing them after many strikes are too cruel. He rather kill them and they die immediately.
General An suddenly open his eyes. He is laying among the death at the edge of the bamboo forest. He is sandwich between his men's dead bodies. He look around in his upside view he see there are fights far from where he is. He struggle to push off the dead. Finally when he is free, he look around before he starts to move. Before he knows a mace comes in his way and he roll away in a hurry. He spots a sword on the ground. Rushing to it with his battered body, he yell in pain. The Mongol who is after him is a giant. The mace that he is holding seems to be bigger than the usual. Every strike, it brings a small tremor to the ground. General An only can keep crawling backwards to avoid getting hit. He finally see his chance to roll away. He stand up and straighten himself. The giant comes rushing to him and General An squad down to give him a cut on his legs. The man scream and his mace falls from his hand. General An takes the opportunity to deliver a few more slashes on the giant's legs. The man fell hard on the ground screaming in pain. General An takes the opportunely again and grab the throat. The giant attempt to throw him off but General An is faster, he slice the throat and release him. The giant chock and cough but soon he stop moving. General An see that The Duke and his men are at the corner doing their best. The fortress up ahead is not besieged so there is hope. He push himself up with the sword at hand. With him scream he just his men in a bloody war.
Er Yin watch Mongke Khan's expression. His eyes are darting everywhere. They walk within a circle. Waiting and watching each other's movement while the surroundings are in chaos. She make a sudden rush to him. He raised his arm to block the incoming attacks. Er Yin use all her strength to hit him repeatedly and he block as he move back. With her repeated final hits, she finally decided to use her shin to give him a hard blow on his leg. He is in shock and fall on the ground. She look at him and lift her leg up and pat her shin guard. Mongke Khan roll on the ground and repeatedly rubbing his shin. He look at her angrily and yell her at for cheating.
"i did not cheat."
"You!"
"Well you already give me a bloody face and i just hit your shin. So what is the issue here?"
"This is not fair!"
"There is nothing fair in this world. Commander, i wish you a good ... day rolling around. I will go and assist my men."
At the time she pick up her sword, she turn around because of a scream, Luo Ming had deliver his sword into Mongke Khan. However that man did not die immediately.
"it's better to injured him than to allow him to stand up again and raise his weapon to us, Yin'er!"
She understand that principal but she have a match with him. It is to honour it and not to further injured the other.
"Since now you are down! Withdraw your men now!"
Luo Ming yell as he place his sword on Mongke Khan's throat. Mongke Khan look at him full with anger. His hand cup over his blood that is flowing out from his abdomen. It take him for a while before he start to move. He whistle in a high pitch and at that moment, everyone almost stop.
A foreign in language of the mongols soon spread in the battle ground. Those who are nearby Mongke Khan come towards him. They speak in a hurry and no choice they lift him up slowly. Luo Ming continue to point his sword towards Mongke Khan.
"Today we will withdraw but this is not the end! This fortress will belong to our great Mongol!"
In that confusing evening, the Han Chinese watch the Mongols withdraw and take their inured and dead with them. Leaving the confused Han Chinese with their dead and debris left behind. Every Han Chinese watch them walk away and a sense of joy actually run through their mind and bodies. To night, they live one more day. To night the fortress is still their's.
