Tang Dynasty: Li He

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.

Just to return the king, sword and death.

Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; Because our army is strict, the sun shines on the armor and the golden light flashes.

In autumn, the loud bugles shake the earth; At night, the soldiers' blood coagulated into dark purple.

The red flag is half-rolled, and reinforcements rush to Xiao; The night is frosty and the drums are gloomy.

Just to repay the king's kindness, he held a sword and died.
