A military enthusiast from the future has his soul transported to the final years of the Sui dynasty, where he becomes Li Xuance, the orphaned heir of a military family in Longyou.
His family has been falsely accused, and only a dozen former retainers remain. The world is in turmoil, and human lives are worth no more than grass.
He knows how history will unfold and has modern methods of training troops at his disposal. He swears: he won’t gather an army of thousands, only train eight hundred!
He uses modern thinking to forge armor and train soldiers, and strategies from a thousand years in the future to turn the tide of war. His eight hundred warriors are all hardened elites!
He gathers allies in Longyou and forms the Black Armor Army. His eight hundred men sweep away bandits and cow the Turks;
They enter the pass and break through enemy formations, making their name at Hulao. Eight hundred cavalrymen tear open the chaos of warlord rivalry;
With the Xuanwu Strategy, he secures Chang’an. Starting with just eight hundred men, he helps Li Shimin usher in a golden age!
From a destitute orphan to the Prince-Regent of Longyou, he never usurps power or claims a crown. Yet, beginning with eight hundred men, he ultimately rules the realm alongside the Li Tang dynasty!
Eight hundred black-armored warriors, their souls forged in blood and iron! One man, one command, ruling all under heaven!
