Yanmen satrap
Li He in Tang Dynasty
Original text:
Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds in an attempt to tear down the city wall; Our army was ready, and the sun shone on the armor, glittering with gold.
In autumn, the loud bugle sounded; The soldier's blood became dark in the night.
The red flag rolled half, and the reinforcements rushed to Xiao; The night frost is heavy and the drums are gloomy.
I want to report to you on the golden platform, and I want to take Yulong to your death.
Translation:
Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; The soldiers' armor shone golden in the sun. The sound of the horn resounded through the autumn sky, and the clouds on the horizon beyond the Great Wall turned the night sky purple.
The red flag is half-rolled, and reinforcements rush to Xiao; The night is frosty and the drums are gloomy. In order to repay the monarch's reward and love, he is willing to fight for his country to the death with a sword in his hand.
