Breaking Through the Siege at Hesui: from Battle Scenes of the Quelling of Rebellions in the Western Regions, with imperial Poems

Black and white drawing on aged paper of a chaotic battle scene. A group of people on the bottom left are breaking through a wooden barricade; some on horseback, some on foot. The people are in loose, white clothing, some wearing head coverings. Many of the people are holding weapons including bows, arrows, and spears. Other people are on the right side, not yet engaged in the battle, in formation with spears. In the background are rocky cliffs, trees, and mountains. Two lines of Chinese writing are centered along the top of the image.
