杨门女将之军令如山 yáng mén nǚjiàng zhī jūn líng rú shān

In 11th century China, the Emperor Renzong reigns his country poorly, neglecting state affairs while the government sinks into corruption and war rages at his borders, whose only protection left is the famous Yang clan. However, when the last man of the family falls, leaving the country open to its invaders, the clan’s formidable women take up arms to lead the army to victory and seek vengeance against corrupt officials.
