Origin Story
话说东汉末年，天下大乱，群雄逐鹿。曹操挟天子以令诸侯，势力日渐强大。一日，曹操率领大军攻打刘备。两军对垒，旌旗蔽日，刀光剑影，金戈铁马，喊杀声震天动地。曹军将士个个身披铠甲，手持长枪，战马嘶鸣，气势如虹。刘备军虽然奋勇抵抗，但终究寡不敌众，惨败而归。这场战争，充分展现了金戈铁马的战争场面，也体现了当时军阀混战的残酷现实。数十年后，历史学家在记述这段历史时，仍不禁感叹：那金戈铁马，刀光剑影的年代，是多么的令人震撼！
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and heroes were fighting for supremacy. Cao Cao controlled the emperor and ordered the feudal lords, and his power grew stronger. One day, Cao Cao led his army to attack Liu Bei. The two armies confronted each other; flags obscured the sun, swords flashed, and golden spears and iron horses thundered, while the cries of battle shook the earth. Every soldier of Cao's army wore armor and a sword, the horses neighed, and the fighting spirit was immense. Although Liu Bei's army fought bravely, it was ultimately outnumbered and suffered a devastating defeat. This war showed the intensity of the battle with its golden spears and iron horses, but also the cruelty of the war between warlords of that time. Decades later, historians, when recording these events, still sighed at the sight of golden spears and iron horses, a picture of war and combat that impressed them so deeply.
