As the men attack with their voice and swords. Arrows are flying from both side of the camps. The drums from both side are hitting hard Er Yin is busy swinging her sword around her. Her shield is batter with axe and arrows. Her horse is stomping in the calm bloody river. More men from both side of the camp comes rushing in to attack. She see fresh new soldiers who comes in while the Duke and Luo Ming still on their horses fighting. She kick the enemy soldiers who are attacking with their weapons and trying to get her off her horse. She continue till suddenly her horse falls. With fast reaction, she get off her horse before she hits the rocks under the water however she scrap her hands but it is not the time to wince at the pain of the hand. She hurry to doge the incoming axe swinging to her. She use her long leg to stretch out to kick the attacker before she deliver her final stab into his back. She quickly check her horse who is struggling to stand up. Er Yin still have attackers coming for her. Trying to get her balance on the rocks and not stepping on the dead bodies is another task at hand. She gives her horse a pat on it butt and her horse run off without her. She watch it get off the river bank and she continue her fight alone.
After a long time, she is running out of strength but she is using her small dagger to get around. Occasionally she finds a bow and arrows on the ground. Some minutes of resting makes her nervous. She look around to see dead bodies around her. Some are her own soldiers. Some are dead and some are groaning in pain. As the river water is not too high at that time, they are not completely submerged in the water. Their faces especially the nose and mouth is above the water. She hurry to the nearest and pull him up. The man groan in pain and not able to walk. Er Yin drag him out of the water and goes up to the flat ground where she lay him there.
"Stay here. This is our side at the river bank. Help will come. Hang on, you hear me."
She run off to the nearest again to see if she can save another. One by one, she drag those who are breathing. The bloody water and the rocks are not making it easy for her but she is determine to save as many as she can. The sun beginning to set when she sit down to catch her breath with those whom she had drag onto the flat ground. In a distance over the other side of the river bank, she see that her commander had push the enemy back. They need to continue to push them till they can reach the camp site. That is a half battle win for now. She attempts to stand up but the pain in her leg is making it too painful for her to stand up after a long time she push herself to stand up. She wipe the sweat and blood on her face with the back of her hand. Again the beat of the drum is back. Like in a trance, she walk towards where she have fallen off from her horse, she find her sword on a dead enemy. Er Yin pull it off and look at her brother's name on it. Blood is dripping down from the name. She wants to cry while looking at it but there is no tears in her eyes. She rinse the blood off with the water and slowly drag her tired body to the other side of the river. Is either she die today or she make it back with Duke Yan. There is no other option.
Her bun is undone when the next fresh soldiers comes rushing in from the river bank to assist in pushing the enemy into their camp. The crown prince come ridding in his war horse and conduct the final attack. Er Yin who is busy defending herself receive an assistance from Luo Ming. His face is all bloody and his black sleeves is ripped off. His arm is oozing blood. His smiling face is wipe off with a dirty bloody frown. He support Er Yin who is not able to stand up straight but she is still fighting. Together, they stand to swing their swords and attack as much as they can. They have finally reach the gate of the enemy camp. With the dead bodies laying around, it is harder to get to the gate so spears are thrown up onto the tower and into the camp. They can hear cries of men inside the camp. While Er Yin and Luo Ming with their might and determination hack the gate with their swords on hand. The rest follow using their axes. The archers continue to fire non stop to give the front liners time to hack the gate down. Since the wooden gate is tied with thick ropes, it is only time that it will give way. After a long time, finally it gave way and the gate collapse. The soldiers along with the crown prince rush into the camp. Luo Ming continue to hold onto Er Yin as they rush in. The Duke who is still on his horse see the sea of men in front of him. He looks for his trusted men and in the sea of people, he see one man with his long hair flying as he fights. He see Luo Ming holding him tightly. The Duke yell for Luo Ming and his Lieutenant hear him. He drag Er Yin towards the Duke. Er Yin like in a trance is fierce and wanting to kill. Luo Ming yell at Er Yin to look at him. Er Yin with her eyes open wide stare at the man in front of her. She slowly put down her arm.
"We are almost done. We can stop for now."
She did not hear the words clearly from Luo Ming so she look around. She is standing in the sea of dead men. Inside the enemy camp is where they are standing. She understand that they have invade in the enemy camp now. At that moment, the crown prince rejoice loudly on his horse. Their soldiers yell and join in. the celebration by raising their weapons on hand. Er Yin look upwards to see the Duke looking at her from his horse. He have a blank expression on his face with his cape flying in the wind behind him and she that moment, have fear in her heart. Er Yin hears the beating of the drums however this time the beating comes from her heart as she stare at him.
