Li Bai: Join the Expeditionary Army

 

Join the Expeditionary Army

 

从 军 行
百 战 沙 场 碎 铁 衣
城 南 已 合 数 重 围。
突 营 射 杀 呼 延 将
独 领 残 兵 千 骑 归。
Cong Jun Xing

Bai zhan sha chang sui tie yi
Cheng nan yi he shu chong wei.
Tu ying she sha hu yan jiang
Du ling can bing gan qi gui.

 

Join the Expeditionary Army

One hundred battles on the sandy deserts create broken steel armor
Again and again attempts to break the siege at the city’s southern wall.
The general seeking to move forward to shoot and kill the Huyan
Only one thousand cavalry managed to escape.

 

Notes:

Huyan: The leadership of the northern nomad invaders.
