My tribe lost badly in the Battle of Buhe,
We wish to return to the grassland to rest and recover!
I gathered everyone this time, not just to loot and plunder!
With the Donghu, Dayue and Dawan tribes together
we can attack and claim the Central Plains
Forever leave the frigid north,
and realize the dreams of the Rouran!
Now I need everyone to be united.
What do you think?.
The Old Danyu is kind, and has permitted us to depart
Yes, Your Highness!
Come! Bring the wine!
My father is kind. And you have worked very hard!
Futu, you have worked hardest
I will see you off first
Thank you, Your Highness!
Who will be next?.
Father
Futu was talking the other tribes into retreating, so I killed him
Child! I know you are unhappy,
having run around the grasslands for so long,
trying to gather all the tribes
Father,
my life was given to me by you. I will not speak of unhappiness.
Morale is too low now, they cannot take another battle
We must preserve the Rouran bloodlines
When you are Danyu you will understand
But I am not content!
With our strength, we might not lose
That means we also might not win
Let us retreat
Father,
do you remember what you used to say
when I was a boy and would ask you
why we always loot and plunder?.
We Rourans don't have iron
Why do we need iron?.
To make weapons
Why do we need weapons?.
So we can loot and plunder!
Yes, Father.
I think like my sister.
I also dream of a day
when we can finally stop looting year after year
and live the abundant life of the Wei people
As long as we take the Wei territory,
I will fulfill my responsibility
Father,
you should agree with me, right?.
Danyu, it has been polished
Gude, stay and serve me!
My father's soul has risen to the sky
From today on, l, Mendu,
am your new Danyu
Danyu! Danyu!
Danyu!
Your mother's family name is Yuguo
We must marry in the future,
to birth the most purebred Rouran child
who shall rule the earth!
Mendu of the Rouran has become the new Danyu
He has gathered an army of 200,000 and is ready to strike south
What do you think, Generals?.
Commander-in-chief! I have fought with Mendu before
He is cruel and violent
We cannot go against his 200,000 troops with out meager forces
Why don't we retreat, defend the gateways, and wait for them to come to us?.
What do you think?.
Commander-in-chief!
If we retreat, morale will drop,
and if Mendu pursues us at this time, we will suffer great losses
I beg you to consider, we must not retreat!
I beg for your command to lead the frontlines!
General Hua, you are so loyal and courageous
What is your strategy?.
Normally, we confront with the main and win by surprise
Normally, we would confront the enemy with the main troop
While a secondary troop hides in ambush
But this time I want to do the opposite!
I lead the confrontation troop. While Commander-in-chief leads the main as a surprise
As long as I have a small victory at the start and anger Mendu
Thus luring him to chase us with all his might
I will pretend to be trapped in a canyon
Mendu will think they can butcher us
so they will be reckless
Commander-in-chief will be in ambush behind them
And as soon as the enemy turns around
please release smoke, I will turn and lead my troops into the fray
so they will be attacked from front and rear!
Good! I will give you a troop of 20,000
Commander-in-chief
Speed is of the essence, I wish to depart tonight
Please place our supplies at the canyon for our use
We will go according to this plan
Yes, sir!
Thank you, sir!
I am General Hua Mulan of the Great Wei Nation
Has your Commander-in-chief became a shrinking turtle
and sent a peon like you to your death?.
This is the territory of the Great Wei Nation.
Please leave!
But I like your territory!
Remember, Wei people are sheep
we Rouran are wolves!
Steady!
We have Han, Shi, Xianbei and Jiang men,
but no sheep!
They have 20,000 men. I'll give you 40,000 men
and 4 hours. Destroy them!
Yes, sir!
Hail! Hail!
Standing archers!
Shoot!
Kill!
Lift!
Stop!
Danyu! Wei General Hua Mulan defeated us!
What "defeated"?.
Hua Mulan!
Mobilize all my troops!
They fell for it!
Main cavalry unit, put the front team in the back
Cover the main troop's retreat to the canyon!
Yes, sir!
Protect the General!
General!
Run!
Hurry!
Run! The Poison Dragon is coming!
Retreat!
Mulan!
Mulan?.
Hua Mulan!
I knew you didn't die!
Mulan!
Get the medic!
Yes, sir!
Hang in there
Mulan! Hang in there
The Rourans are coming!
General, the Rourans are coming!
Company retreat!
General! If we take our wounded,
We may jeopardize our action!
Company retreat!
General! Mulan!
Mount!
Company retreat!
Brothers!
Let us use all our power
to help our General retreat, all right?.
Yes!
General!
Seal the canyon opening! Now!
Yes, sir!
Check our supplies in the canyon!
Yes, sir!
Mulan! Sit down
General, the medic and all the medications
disappeared during the Poison Dragon!
Stop!
Danyu! Why are we not pursue while we are victorious?.
Destroy Hua Mulan first, then go after Zang Zhi!
Where can he go from here?.
They're trapped!
Danyu, you mean...
Killing can be done in an instant
I like to watch people in desperation, especially Hua Mulan!
General Hua,
We have made a thorough search
but have found no supplies or water in the canyon
Gather and redistribute the available supplies
Kill the horses
Kill the horses! Keep their blood for future use!
Yes, sir!
Commander-in-chief's smoke
will be our last hope
If I die before it comes
Iead our brothers in defense for me
I've watched you over all these years
You've done a great job!
I dreamed that I've died
you all left me
there was no one around me
I count the stars every night
There is not an extra one
so you won't die!
You're so good to me!
General!
Cry!
Cry to your brothers for help!
Get them to help you! Cry!
Cry for your General to save you!
Cry!
General, I beg you to save them!
I won't allow you to be sacrificed
But General! That's Tiger! Your brother!
You are all my brothers!
We must wait!
Hu Guei, don't fall for their trap!
Tiger!
Turtle!
Tiger!
Turtle!
A century of human life is like a dream
Life and death occur, heroes have no regrets
Protect my homeland, show off my nation's pride
What joy is there in life, what regrets in death
There are enemy winds up north, but home fires down south
I miss my wife and children, and my home
They are across the mountains, far away...
Ashina!
Yes, Danyu!
A century of human life...
If they don't come out, kill them!
...is like a dream
Life and death occur, heroes have no regrets
Protect my homeland, show off my nation's pride
What joy is there in life, what regrets in death
Tiger!
There are enemy winds up north, but home fires down south
I miss my wife and children...
...and my home
They are across the mountains, far away...
Finally, peace and quiet!
We are out of supplies
and can no longer hold our position
Commander-in-chief is really not coming
If we do not get medication
you and the brothers won't be able to hang on
Even if I die
I must die in battle!
Will you come with me?.
I will!
Wentai! You are the one person...
I will never forget!
Heroes,
our troops are stationed here
originally to meet up with Commander-in-chief and his troops!
But...
he betrayed us!
Today, we will stain the battlefield with our blood
Behind us is our homeland
If we have to bleed out our last drop of blood,
if we have to become bleached bones in this desert,
we must defend it to the death!
We must let the Rourans know
we Wei warriors will never surrender
and will never compromise!
Soldiers may rebel against me
generals may leave me for dead
but l, Hua Mulan,
will never betray my country!
Brothers!
After this meal
we will kill their Danyu
and chop down their flag!
Are you afraid to die?.
No!
Are you afraid to die?.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Black Wind,
in our next life, we'll reverse roles
and you kill me
General, you can't kill Black Wind!
Kill me instead!
You must not kill Black Wind! General!
Black Wing must not be killed, General!
General!
General! General!
General!
General! You should rest
Get your Danyu to come here and talk!
I, seventh son of the Wei Emperor! Toba Hong!
Leave your best medics and supplies!
I will come with you!
Let my brothers go!
A live Prince in exchange...
for several thousand soldiers?.
Deal!
Leave the medics ands supplies! Let's go!
Yes, sir!
Danyu orders a retreat!
I didn't imagine you would recover so quickly
I still have many important things to do
General
When our brothers have recovered, lead them back home
General, where are you going?.
You must not follow me
General!
General
This is a military command!
General!
Take care, everyone
General
Danyu!
What are you doing?.
Pick it up!
Yes, sir
How much gold...
do you think your father will pay for you?.
He doesn't like me,
so you may be disappointed
Even wolves protect their cubs;
never mind humans
I've never, and don't plan to, befriend a wolf
You are right
In your eyes I am a wolf
But for us Rourans
I am a once-in-a millennium heroic king
He who wins his people's hearts wins his nation
You think you can take the world with a knife?.
You may be a victorious conqueror,
but if you cannot let your people live a good life
even if you are lucky enough to win
there will be thousands like me who will fight against you
Causing piles of white bones
just to satisfy your personal ambition!
Are you talking like a drunk, because you cannot hold your alcohol?.
Thank you!
I know what you are thinking
Don't worry
When I take the Wei territory and become king,
I will fulfill your dream of becoming queen
I wanted to be a queen of Wei
so that generations of Rourans won't have to suffer the ravages of war
It is different from your reason!
No matter how much land you take,
I will never agree with what you have done
Who are you?.
Don't worry, Princess.
I am Wei General Hua Mulan
I know of you
Are you trying to use me to rescue your Prince?.
I respect your dream of making peace, between our countries
I wish to help you fulfill your dream
Fulfill my dream?.
You overestimate me. I am merely a woman
My brother killed our father for the throne,
and I dare not speak up!
Actually, I am...
also a woman
Amazing!
I enlisted in my father's place, just to fulfill my filial duty
I never imagined I would achieve any accomplishments,
not to mention that one day...
I would become a butcher on the battlefield
In these twelve years,
my heart has never felt at ease
Princess, only when we resolve the cause of this war
can we stop the war itself
Your own fate as well as that of the whole world...
is in your hands
Your messengers have come
and agreed to all of my terms
Your father loves you very much
Thank you for telling me this
Let everyone know, we'll celebrate for three days!
Thank you, Danyu!
I've thought it through. You are right.
Husband,
please have a drink
Great! Come!
You dare to kill me?.
I must avenge the Old Danyu!
Mulan
Rise!
Thank you, Your Majesty
Hua Mulan is here!
Commander-in-chief is a coward.
I have dealt with him.
I bow before Your Majesty
It's General Hua!
Salute!
We respectfully bring General back to your hometown!
Master
Where is Father?.
He waited here for you every day
Father
I am home!
I hereby name Hua Mulan the Commander-in-chief of the Wei nation!
I do not wish to become an official
I have been at war for twelve years and been unable to take care of my father
who has been ill.
Please allow me to go home.
I am a woman. Please punish me.
It is our nation's great fortune to have a woman like you
I have long since forgiven you.
Thank you, Your Majesty
I have an announcement for the whole nation:
The marriage between my son Hong and the Rouran Princess!
Our two nations will now be friends. The fighting will stop forever
and from now on, there will be peace!
Adjourned!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Hong, your marriage to the Rouran Princess is a national event!
Do you understand your responsibility?.
I do, Sire
It's so nice to have a daughter
Always filial, understanding and obedient
And now, she's a pretty General!
Coming!
Let's go away together! Doesn't matter where!
You once said
if you could give your life to end this war
you would do it
It's easy for me to give up my life
but it's too difficult to give up the woman I love
In order that there be no more Tigers
That no more families
end up with just a bloody dog tag...
I understand
Forget about me!
For twelve years, every day I wake up in the battlefield
my first thought is of you
Knowing you are there, gives me the courage to open my eyes
Forever after,
it will still be the same every day
Someone once said,
go too far from home and you will lose your roots
kill too many people and you will forget yourself
If you die in battle
your life will sink into the ground like rain and vanish without a trace
If at that time, you fall in love with someone
hope will blossom again from the earth
and embrace life with passion!
Thank you, Wentai!
