What an annoying fly.
Let me deal with you myself.
With the momentum of the horse and this iron spear,
I can do it.
I'm not coming for you.
My opponent
is this disgusting chariot.
The counterattack begins!
Ancient China.
After the end of the age of sages, human desires were unleashed.
Endless raging wars and turmoil ravaged China for 500 years.
Over 100 countries were eliminated with only seven remaining.
Now, a historic wind of turmoil sweeps over the State of Qin in the far West.
This is the story of a nameless boy and a young king who survived
the Warring States period.
Xin!
I see.
There are some survivors.
That's good.
I'm glad you survived.
This is how my warriors are supposed to be.
The other survivors are fighting over there.
Hurry up! Join them and fight together with them.
Yes. Where are you going?
I will meet you after I deal with the chariot that escaped.
Listen up. We haven't lost.
The real battle is coming up next.
All right, let's join the other soldiers.
Help those who are injured.
Hey, Tian You.
The soldier wasn't wearing an armor. He was wearing tattered clothing.
From your description, it sounds like he was that annoying kid.
What's going on?
We have lost too many men.
Are we supposed to send these soldiers there to die?
Can we really defeat the Wei state?
They are not going to die a meaningless death.
They will die for honor.
Hu-shen.
How can you still be sure of victory under these circumstances?
Is Gong Biao really someone we can trust?
There is no other general
who is as brave as he is.
At this time,
Wei state's chariot corps that attacked Xin and the rest of the Fourth Army
will continue to attack the First and Second Armies,
showing a one-sided situation.
Given the difference in power between the Qin and Wei states,
it's safe to say that the winner has been determined.
Xin and the others
have defeated only a small unit of the chariot corps.
It won't change things.
Generally, it's a negligible achievement.
It looks like the Qin army can no longer fight us.
The main army should stay here to stand guard.
As for the rest, leave the hills
and take the foolish General Gong Biao's head!
Wei army's deputy general, Yuan Gong,
is not aware that Xin and the others are fighting
like pebbles in a large river.
The sounds of the army's footsteps
drowns the cheers of Xin and the others.
However...
Some soldiers in the Fourth Army took down several chariots.
The enemy will launch a counterattack at any time.
Yuan Gong's main army has started moving.
We are just waiting for orders.
Withdraw.
Look here.
Yes.
Although it looks like every battle is similar,
each battle has its own impact in a bigger picture.
The movement of one person affects ten people.
Then, it will affect thousands more and thousands of people will fall.
That's the domino effect that will put an end to all battles.
There's now a location that outshines the rest.
There must be something going on there.
That's what fighting a war is about.
Do you understand?
I order the cavalry of the Fourth Army to carry out a sudden attack!
Attack!
It's the cavalry.
They're finally here.
Damn.
Help is finally here.
We'll survive this.
Bi!
Xin.
I'm glad you're all right.
I see.
They were the ones who got General Gong Biao to spring into action.
Surround the enemy soldiers.
Foot soldiers, widen the defensive wall to the right.
The main unit of the chariot corps will return soon.
That inflexible Thousand-Men General from the Central Court
seems to be a quick-thinking person.
But he doesn't seem to understand the sudden attack by the cavalry.
The general's true intention is to reverse the situation here.
Hu-shen Fu's foot soldiers, line up!
I'm glad you all survived the attack by the state of Wei's chariots.
You even managed to launch a counterattack.
I'm very proud of you. The state of Qin is very proud of you.
You have managed to escape death this time.
So I'm sure you will get through even more difficult situations.
This unit will face the enemy soldiers head-on
and take the head of Yuan Gong, deputy general of Wei
who's now on the hill.
Get ready to attack!
Foot soldiers, follow the lead of the cavalry.
Follow closely if you don't want to die.
Hold on.
I thought we are safe when the cavalry arrived.
Why do we have to risk our lives again?
From 1,000 men, we are left with fewer than 100.
How can a unit of 100 men take on that huge army?
No, I disagree.
Xin, what are you talking about? Do you think we stand a chance?
No. That's just how I felt.
What?
Xin is right. We have a chance.
Because they are coming downhill, the enemies will be very fast.
If we fight with that, it's going to be very difficult.
But
the time they have to fight us will be very short.
That's right. That's what I meant.
If we can get through them toward the empty hilltop,
we can finish off the enemy's deputy general in one go.
Then, we will win this battle.
But just as I said, it's going to be very difficult.
If we stop moving, we will definitely die.
What's wrong with you?
You've started talking a lot
since the chariots appeared.
I thought you said you didn't like to talk.
I'm just like you.
Because I don't want to die here.
I see.
Well then, that's it.
I will break up the enemies.
All right. Get ready to attack!
Idiot, it's not your place to say that!
Lord Fu.
There is a foot soldier on a horse.
Let him be.
It looks like the leader of those useless soldiers
is that kid.
I think I can use him at some point.
At this time,
40,000 soldiers of the Wei army
are fighting the 1,000 cavalries of the Qin state.
This is the outcome of Gong Biao's order to launch a sudden attack.
But the gap is too large. The situation will be reversed somehow.
Attention!
The enemy's chariots just launched another attack on the Fourth Army.
Listen up, First and Second Armies.
Charge toward the battleground and join the Fourth Army.
Realizing it was a critical moment, Gong Biao issued an order immediately.
Go!
Don't stop moving!
What's that unit doing?
They're too deep into the enemy's range.
It's Hu-shen Fu.
He's probably trying to break through and make a run for the hilltop.
Idiot. The soldiers will be wiped out before he makes it halfway to the top.
Leave those who can't wait to die alone.
No way.
Bi Unit!
Get into cone formations to penetrate the enemy's front.
Defend Hu-shen Fu's unit.
Kuei Ze, is everything all right?
So far so good.
Glad that we have you in front of us.
Damn.
Thousand-Men General, Hu-shen Fu, is too fast.
What does he think we are?
He's never taken us into consideration since day one.
That hurts.
Dao, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Run faster!
We have to break through...
Brother!
You...
Ping Wei, get up now,
or you will be surrounding by the enemy.
Don't worry. I'll make way for us.
-Xin. -Xin.
We have to catch up with our Thousand-Men General!
Ping Wei, don't trip again.
Hui Qiang.
I thought you are a pretty sharp guy,
but I didn't think that you have great sword skills!
Looks like he knows more than he's letting on.
Great then.
I don't have to keep watching our backs.
I can focus on what's ahead.
What's up with you, Wei soldiers? Is this all you've got?
I will sacrifice everything to win.
We made it.
The defensive unit in the middle hasn't found out about our presence.
How many people are left?
About 40.
I see.
Hold on.
There should be 45 people including us.
Despite being left behind by the main unit,
they managed to make it through on their own?
This kid...
Next, we are going to run up the hill and defeat Deputy General Yuan Gong.
This will contribute to the victory of the Qin's army.
I know you are exhausted.
But you are not allowed to complain.
I will personally kill those who doesn't make it to the peak.
But those will get to the peak
will be awarded the greatest honor in this battle.
Furthermore,
there will also be a reward.
Those at the peak
are Wei's senior officers.
Their heads are worth a lot of money.
I promise the reward will be ten times the normal rate.
Maybe we will become our village's heroes.
We have to do our best.
Hey, kid.
Leave your Wu and step forward.
We need more soldiers on horses.
Great.
-But what about Ze Kuei and the rest... -Xin, you idiot. Just go.
At this juncture, don't worry about us.
I know you are meant for greater things than this Wu.
You want to become the world's greatest general, right?
Then, go and achieve more than anyone else does.
The dust is really thick.
They won't see us if we walk along the depressed parts.
Make sure no one is exposed.
Yes.
-Kid. -Yes?
Do you want to gain an achievement?
Of course.
Then, you have to keep charging forward without turning back.
-What are you doing? -Let me ride along for a while.
-What are you talking about? -It looks like we're setting off soon.
Hey, listen to me when I talk to you.
Hu-shen Fu Unit, let's move.
What do you want?
Do you want to steal my achievement?
-What's wrong? -It's nothing.
-Watch out. -Shut up.
WEI
What is going on in those dust clouds?
Regardless, we have the advantage in terms of number.
No matter what happens, it will not affect the situation.
After all,
the differences of the generals' capabilities are too big.
The outcome of this battle has been determined from the beginning.
When the dust settles,
we'll see the corpses of the Qin army across the area.
That's the strength of the army of Qin, the so-called predator state.
What a disappointment.
Enemy attack!
Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!
There are more people than I thought.
Don't their numbers distract you.
Our goal is to break through.
If each of us kills ten people, we will break through.
I see.
Lord Yuan Gong, status report.
The garrisons on the hill are fighting with a small unit of the Qin army.
Get Li-xian Huang.
I'm here.
Leave it to me.
We can't make it even if each of us kills ten people.
Leave the back to me.
Keep moving. Don't stop.
What's wrong?
That kid.
Block him. Don't let him come through.
That's ridiculous. Who is this kid?
He's too fast. Let's try again.
Hold on. Don't underestimate him.
-What is he saying? -I don't know.
We've made it through.
We don't need the foot soldiers anymore from here on.
Cavalry, charge forward.
Hold on.
Without the cavalry defending them, the people at the back will...
No way.
So you brought them here
only to buy yourself some time?
I believe I told you not to turn back.
But...
The front line, defense, infantry and cavalry
are all equal.
Everything they do is for the sake of victory.
That's what it means to be part of an army.
There is no time to worry about other people.
Those on the front lines are the ones facing difficult situations.
Hang in there. I'm counting on your leg strength now.
Look. We're almost at the peak.
There's a squad of archers!
-Disperse! -Is this real?
Damn.
Fire!
The crossbow unit?
It is the ultimate defense of a real strategist.
But no matter how many arrows hit me, I don't feel any pain.
All units, don't worry.
The peak is just ahead of us.
Is he the general?
Hold on. He's my prey.
Don't get too cocky,
Qin's special unit.
Do you think a few of you can just change the situation?
It's not that easy
to fight a war.
Lord Li-xian Huang, hold on.
Let's see if you can still laugh after this arrow pierces your brain.
Damn you! I'll kill you!
A young soldier?
How pathetic.
Is Qin that short on men?
But an enemy is an enemy. I won't go easy on him.
What? That's ridiculous.
He could see my arrow?
Then, I'll make sure to aim better.
The enemy's main camp is just up ahead.
But he's too close.
I can't see his arrow.
Don't hate me, kid.
As long as I can avoid his arrow, I will be able to attack him.
I will be the winner.
What...
Kid, you can't make it here.
This is a battle.
What?
I finally see you.
Yuan Gong.
