The number of Mongols soon reduce as they move away from the south gate. MongKe Khan is too busy trying to take down the gate. He fail to notice the number of men is reduce as time goes by. Only when lunch time arrives, they got hungry and ask for food. He notice some of the trusted men are not at present. He send some men to look for them. It is then he feels that something odd is happening.
While the Duke who is hiding and watching decided that it is time for them to take action. Since it is important for them to take down MongKe Khan, he watch the movement of this man and this Mongol feels that he is being watched. He look at the surrounding buildings. The Mongols are not familiar with structures that are higher than the ground floor and not interested in exploring what is inside each building. Thus he fail to see the Duke who is hiding up on the rooftop watching and commanding his men. Each of his soldiers are arm with bows and arrows. Hand bombs are place in their shirts. Each of them are perspiring under the hot sun. Watching and waiting for the Duke's command.
Finally, when the Mongols are going to start to eat, arrows are shooting down. It is easy target as they are all relax and having a meal. While shooting a few Mongols run into the building and up the stairs. They wrestle with the Han Chinese they found. Some of them fall off the building. While at the ground floor, some Han Chinese soldiers rush out to fight with the ones who are standing far away from the south gate. It is chaotic and the Duke have rush downstairs to help his men. Bombs are thrown at some point and Duke Yan see that his men fly off with the explosives. He rush out and join in the attack.
Er Yin is busy shooting at the south gate. Her mission is to save the gate for further destruction. Her busy hands are busy pulling and releasing the arrows. When suddenly, she hear shouting behinding her, she turn around to see two Mongol men struggling her soldiers. She hurry to change the direction when she is shooting. She aim well and injured them before they can do more harm. She watch them roll on the ground in pain while her fellow soldiers tie them up with the ropes. She hurry back and fire her arrows without a thought.
The Duke with his sword attack. He shouted for them to clear a path for him as he prepare his hand bomb. He aim and throw it at the Mongols who are running towards them. He watch the bomb land on their path and sent them flying off. A Mongol come running from behind and attempt to stab him but the Duke who is alert, turn and squad down. He watch the Mongol miss his step and fall on the ground. The Duke hurry to kick away the knife and lock his hand down. The Mongol solider scream and try to hit Duke Yan however he find his hand being twisted and it hurts too badly to do anything but scream. Luo Ming come running with ropes in his hand. He tied up the mongol and drag him to the jail cell.
The cell, inside are fill with Mongols who are tied up. Some are unconscious while the others are stuff with cloths in their mouth. It doesn't matter if men or women, Luo Ming just put them in whichever cell he wants.
The Duke with his remaining soldiers slowly fight their way to the south gates. All works on the south gates are stop and MongKe Khan is annoyed. If the gate is taken down, he can march to the capital and take over the palace. His father will look at him with pride that his eldest son have conquer the Han Chinese. Now, he have to clear the obstacles over obstacles. He see that tall man with a black cape in a far distance killing his soldiers. Anger boils and he pick up his spear. It's time to test the power of a Han general.
Duke Yan as he clear the path of the soldiers who are attacking, noticed a tall man alike him is walking to his direction. He knows immediately that man is the commander of the Mongols. That authority look with determination in his eyes and the way he walks. Both men comes near to each other in the narrow part of a street. Mongke Khan hold up his spear and point to Duke Yan.
"Are you the commander?! Tell me your name!"
"I am Duke Yan the commander for the elite soldiers! "
Mongke Khan hearing his name, laugh.
"To think the Han Chinese don't have any other generals. They have to send their royal family to engaged in a battle at this fortress. Do you have any last word?"
"Leave! Before your men are all slaughter!"
"Unfortunately, we don't plan to leave! We plan to stay and take over these lands! After taking Sui, we will take the rest of the other nations!"
"You can keep dreaming!
"Yes we will keep dreaming that the day will come! Sui will go down and so will be the rest!"
"The Han Chinese men maybe of different countries but we have the same mind to keep what is ours and drive the foreign regime out!"
"Then let's see who is going to be driven out!"
Immediately Mongke Khan rush towards Duke Yan in a flash. Duke Yan with his spear on his side block the sword. He move back as Mongke Khan push forward hard. Eye to eye they stare hard while on the side, hand bombs are thrown with screams are heard everywhere. Hot meals becomes cold and small stones are thrown into the food. Meals fallen on the floor becomes food for the rats who are waiting nearby.
Er Yin who is still shooting see that the south gate is untouched by the Mongols who are busying fighting. She change her arrows of direction however before she starts to shoot, in a far distance she see a large group of Mongols are coming to the south gate. They will be outnumber soon. She hurry along with the solider who is firing their arrows with her, pick up as many hand bombs as they can. They have to move fast. Taking a risk, they jump from rooftop to rooftop. Moving as near as possible to the incoming group. Station at the best possible rooftop, they aim their bombs and arrows. Waiting and watching they coming near and near. With Er Yin's signal, they fire. Bombs and arrows are release at the same time, the buildings surround them rumble with the explosive going off. Caught off guard, the Mongols suffer. Most are dead or badly injured. The hole in the ground are not deep but still water slip up on the surface. Soon puddle of water are soak in blood. Buildings around that are covered with a destroy front yard. That day, everything is destroy including lives of the Han Chinese and the Mongols. Each rolling in ground waiting for the death angel to pick them up on the road to hell.
