About the Game

This game's protagonist is Prince LanLing. His name is Gao ChangGong, an ancient Chinese legendary general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. According to historical records, Gao ChangGong not only brave and fierce, and the face is very beautiful, like a woman.

AD564, Northern Qi's enemy Northern Zhou sent 100,000 troops besieged LuoYang ,Gao Changgong led only 500 cavalrymen and fought through an army of Northern Zhou, which was attacking the city with 50,000 soldiers. He fought bloody way to the gates the city, surprising the defenders. The soldiers of LuoYang didn't recognize him, so he took off his helmet and mask. The soldiers in the city rejoiced at his arrival and were refilled with courage. They opened the gates and joined the battle outside the city. Soon the army of Northern Zhou was defeated.

In order to celebrate the victory, the soldiers composed a famous song and dance "Prince Lanling in Battle” (蘭陵王入陣曲). This song and the dance are long lost in China itself, however, it was introduced into Japan during the Tang Dynasty and is still being performed in some ceremonies today
