Turning the Tide at Sarhu

In 1619 AD, you open your eyes as a foot soldier on the battlefield at Sarhu. Before you stands Nurhaci’s 60,000-strong cavalry, poised to charge; in your ears, the drums beat as your commander rushes ahead, splitting his forces. You know that in three hours, Du Song, the late Ming dynasty’s last great general, will fall bloodied by the Hun River, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be wiped out.

The history books record only Du Song’s recklessness, but no one knows that on the eve of the decisive battle, a solitary lamp burned all night in the central army tent. Now you hold the chance to change the course of the battle: Liu Ting’s eastern route is being lured into an ambush, while Ma Lin’s northern route could collapse without a fight at any moment. Before you lie Du Song’s bloodstained armor and his final question: “Sir, how do we fight our way out?”

Will you turn the tide and save the fate of the Ming, or seek a new path in the flood of history? At this dusk, every choice you make will rewrite the history of the Ming.
