"Destiny?-Are you sure that really exists?"-(II)

It was already afternoon, and the sun had already started shining over the thousand heads of the attacking Khitans at the Si-Po village outskirts, where Zhang's defense line was somehow holding the immense pressure of the over Five thousand infantrymen and Cavalry of the Khitans, on just the mere seven hundred exhausted Cavalrymen-

Suddenly, a light cavalry platoon of Jin army appeared from the south, and thrashed the potentially weaker and loose formation of the Khitan infantry line, which immediately collapsed under the shock, but-

As they still had the numerical advantage, the situation became a stalemate for the attacking enemies soon, as they immediately formed two different lines to keep holding The enemy at it's both end, while it kept it's sheer pressure on the southern Jin command of Zhang's black knights, it also kept defending the attacking Jin light cavalry of Liuentenent Cao. 

On one side, it was 'stable' for the Attackers, it was too 'good' for Zhang's defensive war-style; Wuyang's reinforcements were crucial for him to keep his knights hold off the attacking enemy.  

The 'hope' was real.

While in the west, the Khitan chief met with the Mongol cavalry of Four thousand, and commanded these troops to Shen-Dian-Zhen pass, were they were suddenly ambushed with the heavy cavalry of the Eclipse army, which shook off the Mongol cavalry intrusion and stopped them right into that narrow path, giving the Mongols a little space to make use of their superior cavalry and speed.

And, as this all happened- all of a sudden, it seemed like the Mongol and Khitan army was already getting defeated from the Mongol Command at Baohexiang, the poor city which was captured by the Mongols two days ago- with a 'betrayal' and a 'surprise'.

[Baohexiang Mongol Camp, Baohexiang City]

"Report!"

A Mongol soldier came running in towards the Mongol General standing at the Walls of the Baohexiang, overlooking the great plain length of the feilds to the San-li river, descending it's horizon to the south.

The General, A man in his early forties- was overlooking at the southern horizon; which seamlessly kept his eyes upon itself, indicating His worry over the date of his armies at the heart of the enemy.

"Your Excellency!" The reporting soldier exclaimed again, breaking the worried stance of the General.

"Ah...yes, Speak!" 

The General turned back, his eyes clasped on the face of the soldier.

"Your Excellency, Our camp at San-li west and east are both reporting their respective armies are not in their views."-The soldier spoke nervously.

"What?-  are they wanting to say my army vanished?"-The General exclaimed furiously.

"I fear so-", the soldier trembled- "Both our armies are out of our scouting views and they have seemingly vanished from our eyes from quite of a time now."

"Both of them?"

"Yes"

"Even our Western flanking cavalry?"

"Yes, They too!", the soldier added- "they got out of our sights as soon as they moved into the Shen-Dian-Zhen pass; and now it has been an hour from the predicted signalling flare should have been showed up. It's really strange that our whole flanking army just vanished as soon it entered that pass.."

"Ah...Strange it is. Seems like the Shen-Dian-Zhen pass has some problem at it; Send some scouts into the enemy lines, let them get some Intel that can make me convinced my men are still alive and well."

-The Mongol General ordered the soldier to send some scouts to get a clearance of the situation.

The soldier nodded and left as soon he heard.

[ZHAO-LIN-ZHENG'S hill, Yun's Outpost]

The Southern horizon was indeed a chaos for every side of this skirmish, between all of this taking place, Baohexiang was the only place seemingly residing at a point virtually unreachable for Jins for a while now- and Yun, who was confirmed of Baohexiang's defection towards the Mongol battlemachine to a much extent, now kind of was sure of his prediction being true as the news had reached Yun's position as soon the Mongol cavalry appeared at Shen-Dian-Zhen's pass.

Yun, who was still physically not fighting- was seemed a bit of a uneasy as he was suddenly worried about any reinforcements coming out from Baohexiang will change the course of the war, which was now indeed in a position of unsurity and more seemingly in a 'Stalemate-ed' like state, which was as weakly maintained as weakly a single strand of silk seems when being extracted.

He just wanted to end the skirmish as soon as possible. What he needed wasn't a victory- but 'peace'.

'Peace' from this chaos and blood.

But, sure enough- these two things followed him as the time went on. Enough to be called the 'bad-fated' but 'lucky' enough to have survived all of that.

Suddenly, A bizzare idea struck his radars.

Yun smiled, as his host RSK got an idea to stop this all at the least cost possible-

He will lead the Wuyang's garrison to attack the now seemingly ungaurded eastern camp, cutting the Five thousand Khitans on the other side of the San-li from their supply lines, breaking their 'endurance' and 'Vigilence' apart.

From all this while, he was fiddled and meddled between the sudden thoughts appearing in his mind at random, but he avoided this idea as much he could as he knew well the 'risk' he would be taking by putting his feet on the battlefield- Afterall, he knew nothing about martial arts or swordsmanship.

Even a big 'Zero' would not be able to describe his bad knowledge about combat, and he had been considering this, all the while.

More to his consideration, he also knew that, by taking the risk of attacking just on his predicted strategy may not work- and the only Jin reserves available at Wuyang would be also used up once and for all; making the defending efforts of Zhang and Eclipse army worthless and hopeless.

But-

People were dying.

By every moment passed.

Lives were ending by.

and that-

Was what made Yun reckless with every moment it passed.

He knew, people around him would say that's their destiny-

To fight for their country and die.

But-

He didn't believed in Destiny.

Does it needs to be dying for something like destiny?

Something which can be changed, if we- humans have 'will' to change?

In his words-

"Destiny?- Are you sure that exists?"
