Saving General Yang Page #3

We should be concentrating

on that central campaign,

now wasting our time running

after the Yang Clan.

Destroying the Yang Clan will remove

the Khitan Empire's biggest obstacle.

And then, the end of the Song

will be only a matter of time.

These are the imperial orders:

General Yang Ye is trapped

on Wolf Mountain.

The General's seven sons have

been sent to rescue him.

You are ordered to dispatch

5,000 troops in support.

Follow these orders immediately.

I will honor my orders.

What's the situation

outside the city walls?

My Lord, our 60,000 men

are fighting the Khitan

force of 50,000.

Fetch me ink and paper. I

must write to the emperor.

Yes, my Lord.

Be quick about mending

those weapons.

Yes, sir!

How is your wound?

It's OK.

Make sure it holds

firm, brothers.

General..

Please eat something.

Share it among the men.

They've had their share.

You've fought by my

side for so many years.

I can say you're a fine warrior.

But you're a terrible liar.

Don't you think I know we're

running out of food and water?

General,

I've fought with you

all these years,

and we've never been in

such a bad situation.

Perhaps I really am getting old.

There were so many Khitan

waiting in ambush.

How could I have not known?

And why hasn't Yelu

Yuan attacked us yet?

The Yang Army is coming!

Father!

We took too long to get here.

Father has suffered.

Wolf Mountain is

surrounded by the Khitan.

How did you get in?

It was easy. We simply changed

our battle formation,

and we were able to

break through their ranks.

General, General!

Father!

You've fallen into a trap!

Ten years ago, the Song defeated

a Khitan army of 300,000

None of General Yelu's

men were left alive.

Now, his son Yelu Yuan

is taking revenge.

He left me alive so that you

would all come to my rescue.

Father, I have to

remove that arrow now.

Yanping, take your brothers and

leave Wolf Mountain immediately!

Not without you, Father!

In all my years as a soldier,

I've never felt fear.

I'm not going to start

running away now!

Father, Lord Pan's relief force

should be here at sunset.

We can hold this fort

until they come.

And then we can fight

our way out together!

If he'd wanted to rescue us, why

didn't he do it during the battle?

If he'd sent his

troops out then,

we wouldn't be here now.

He retreated then. Why would he

come and die with us here now?

Lord Pan is an old coward.

He'll take no risks

unless he's forced to

with a knife at his neck.

Father, our rescue mission

was approved by the emperor.

His majesty is so

concerned about me,

and I am failing him in my

duty to defend our land.

Yanping. You haven't much time.
