Across three volumes, China's last mounted archers, a grassland anti-Japanese force turned Eighth Route Army cavalry division, fight from the northern steppe to Beiping in 1949. Commander Bagen, Ling Yanxiao, Qinggeli and the legendary 'Ear King' are warriors of the age of blades; as guns replace them and city sieges replace guerrilla raids, they feel pushed aside and vie with the infantry for lost glory.
