In the troubled times of the northern border, Yanmen hangs alone.
In the last years of Daliang, Chao Gang was corrupted, and the barbarians from the north invaded the south. Yanmen Pass became the last barrier of the empire. Zhao Dong, the general of Zhenbei, has been guarding the border for ten years, but he was framed by powerful officials and his entire family was wronged. In a desperate situation, he gathered eighteen desperadoes with blood feuds but righteous thoughts - some were orphans of exterminated families, some were falsely accused of fleeing, some were wanderers, and some were fallen scholars - and they formed a bloody alliance outside Yanmen Pass and swore to "ride on the pass, and ride on the pass to defeat."
With eighteen thousand enemies, they attacked the barbarian camp at night like thunder cracking the sky, and lurked and assassinated like invisible ghosts. They protected the country's generals, broke up treacherous plots, and quelled civil strife. They poured their blood into loyal souls and built the Great Wall with their bones. When the last cavalry fell at the gate of Yanmen City, the barbarians looked at the flag in fear, and the world began to know the name "Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry".
This is not the story of eighteen people, but the spiritual totem of an era.
