He mounted his horse, and before he even reached the barracks, someone there had already sounded the alarm. The soldiers, who had already gone through countless drills, quickly packed their gear and arrived at their designated positions. Zheng Boyuan arranged the personnel according to the plan and then took command.
Seeing that Zheng Boyuan was alright, Xu Di rode his horse along the coastal road towards Huang County.
Xu Di understood that the Jin people had launched an attack on Liaodong. These Japanese pirates, and even the Jin people on their ships, were there to block the transport of troops and supplies from Dengzhou to Liaodong. Xu Di was worried about his father, who was still in Liaodong, and even his eldest sister, who was also in Liaodong with her nephew.

The captain was covered in blood. Hearing Xu Di's words, he grinned and laughed twice, which made Xu Di feel uneasy. Just then, another Jurchen man was about to dismount, so Xu Di turned around and went to meet him.
