Nirvana in Fire: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin (Nirvana in Fire 2 / 琅琊榜之风起长林)

Calculating the time, Great Yu's raid force would be set.

Big Brother, no matter how fast he is, he would still be too late to defend the back road of the camp.

Royal Father getting held up in Ningzhou is already a reality.

Pingjing, trust your older brother.

He would have a way for sure.

Ningzhou

- This way. Hurry. - Okay!

Faster. Hurry.

Grand Prince, we are completely surrounded at the rear.

The military order to seek reinforcement cannot get out for delivery.

How can that be?

The front line isn't broken, and it's not like the Yu people can fly?

How can they appear from the rear?

Northern Yan?

No, it's not Northern Yan.

If Northern Yan had any movements, we would've been aware.

It's indeed Great Yu's royal army that is assisting our enemy from the rear.

I understand it then.

Even if the entire camp is shattered to pieces,

we still cannot let the Yu people commit on the northern border...

a repeat of the "March Blade at the Northern Border" of that year!

The force of "March Blade".

I've heard of it before too, from others.

March Blade?

That's a battle from hundreds of years ago.

Great Yu, Northern Yan, Donghai.

The three nations joined hands to attack our Great Liang together.

At the time, Great Yu attacked our northern front line. Northern Yan crossed Mt. Yin.

The battle lines were connected from north to south, in a shape like the curved blade.

And it was early spring too.

So it was named "March Blade" by the people afterwards.

- What was the final result? -The result?

Our Great Liang's northern frontier was shred into pieces.

The flame of war shot straight into the main land, pressing the Imperial capital.

The royal court had no choice but to dispatch an envoy for peace talks. (T/N Marquis Yan Que, NIF)

Fortunately, the foreign nations built alliances.

But the priority was always what each would gain, so naturally the alliance came to lapse.

In the end, they still destroyed each other and receded from Great Liang.

But that scorched land under the curved blade.

It took an eon for its calm to be restored.

Though it was a battle from over a hundred years ago,

hearing it now still puts a person to the chill.

March Blade is sharp indeed.

- Pingjing. - But in order to achieve

perfect attack, rhythm and cooperation, not one step can slip.

Unless it's a talent that stuns the world, no one can command such a move.

Furthermore, it requires both Northern Yan and Yu to have such talented generals.

Their goal must be absolutely consistent.

- Hence -- - Hence.

This battle is already the final song. It cannot repeat ever.

In the last century, the state of affairs at the northern border has been complex.

It's never had a chance for a repeat of the curved blade.

The current Northern Yan's royal court is seeking the impossible, and that's given Great Yu that chance.

But the Great Yu royal army is wielding the knife by itself.

Though the form looks similar, the power is lacking.

The main army that's with Royal Father can last another month without trouble.

By your plan, if Pinzhang gets the news and rushes to the northern border in time,

then could he free the Grand Prince's siege?

One step too late.

Great Yu has already taken down the southern side of Ningzhou.

It is already too difficult for the Chang Lin Army to respond to both the northern and the southern battle lines.

They are already at the passive.

Now that we are sure of the enemy's aim,

we can't just pounce on Ningzhou. Instead, we need to go to...

Lusai.

Then Pingzhang's expedition --

Thankfully, Great Yu thinks it's got the main army and Royal Father surrounded.

With the military army unable to get out of Ningzhou,

they would never think my older brother would come so fast.

So Big Brother still has the upper hand in this battle.

And the vital point of this battle...

lies in Lusai.

Later.

Later when they escort me back.

Big Brother Xun, what are you thinking about?

Nothing.

The previous Emperor is watching over the Chang Lin Army.

It will overcome this raid.

All you men of Chang Lin!

Here! Here!

All you men of Chang Lin!

Here! Here!

We just need to take down Lusai and we can crack the blade of Great Yu.

And our central command will be able to launch a counterattack.

Victory or defeat hangs by this lone battle.

By this lone battle!

By this lone battle!

By this lone battle!

Attack!

[Chang Lin Prince

Pingjing. Pingjing!

Pingjing!

Though my power is feeble,

I am also willing to battle for my nation and wash away the tarnish of my Laiyang House.

May you grant me permission to accompany you to the north.

Alright.

Protect the Heir of Chang Lin!

What's wrong?

I rarely have nightmares.

Except for Ganzhou last time.

Whatever you think of during the day will usually become your dream during the night.

A few days ago, we bumped into General Jin.

Didn't he say that they were ordered to surround the Great Yu Army, that got separated from the main battalion?

Since there is such a situation, it means that

the battle in Ningzhou is not as bad as you think.

You may go out.

After the battle in Ganzhou, his wounds...

were worse.

Why is this, I don't understand.

Why?

Pingzhang...

Royal Father.

Royal Father!

Pingzhang.

I am here. I am here.

Royal Father,

I must leave first.

No, Pingzhang, hold on.

You must hold on.

Let me think of a way.

I surely will come with an idea.

I also want to keep holding on.

As long as I am still able to,

I will also not...

I also...

can't bear to leave you all.

Pingzhang, you must not say such words.

You must hold on.

Pingzhang...

Sorry.

Pingzhang, don't leave me...

Since I am a descendant of Chang Lin,

dying on the battlefield...

can also be considered...

a worthy death.

Pingzhang!

Dong Qing!

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying!

Big Brother!
