General Yi is going out to war with General Meng
They are going to leave for war today.
Empress.
I've already said
I wouldn't see him again.
Not seeing him. So you can't think about him?
Not seeing him means I can't think of him.
Fine. Don't see him. Don't think of him.
But we could wish them good luck.
Xiao Yue. Your right.
Lord Zhao, how is the situation?
Today I saw General Meng
and it really shook me up.
Compared to them, we Zhong Yi Guan are just a motley crew.
We're no match for them.
This isn't strange.
General Meng Tian has not met the enemy in the desert
but his reputation is not undeserved.
If Sir Hu Hai wants to be Emperor,
this General Meng is a big problem.
Is a big problem...
But as long as Meng Tian isn't here anymore,
they will have no leader and will disperse.
Words are said that way.
But I saw today even though Meng Tian's illness is serious,
he still has his aura.
If they are able to beat the odds and come back, Yi Xiao Chuan may have more honour heaped upon him.
His Majesty
has given the Noble Clan a retrial. Will he take Meng Tian's side?
At that time, not only are we not able to destroy the Noble Clan,
we might even fall under threat.
If it's this way,
we cannot let them return to Court successfully.
You... You said it right.
Meng Tian going to battle this time, it's the best opportunity to get rid of him.
I remember,
there are Rong Di people in Zhong Yi Guan.
Let's contact them and collaborate,
to get rid of Meng Tian, and at the same time, wipe out the Meng Army.
Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
Lord Zhao.
Lord Zhao, your scheme is brilliant.
Too much praise.
General.
Sit down first.
You must have overworked today.
Your spirit and blood flow have sped up its movement.
If this goes on,
the poison in you might spread faster.
Yes. General,
you should go have a rest and try to recover.
Just leave everything here for us to handle.
No. No.
In order to stabilise the army's hearts...
These enemies are really cunning,
with a lot of traps.
I'm afraid you two can't handle them.
How about this,
I'll have someone take you back secretly.
No one will know.
Rubbish.
A man who cannot protect his own country,
what meaning will it have to live up to a hundred years?
General Meng has come!
Our savior is here!
General Meng. General Meng.
Please help us, please.
I beg you General.
Elders, why is there only the few of you here left?
Yesterday evening, the bastards came into the village and took way everyone,
and took away all the ordinary folks.
Only us few are left.
General. I beg you, please save us!
Please rescue them!
I beg you General!
Come. Everyone, please stand.
Okay.
How many people do they have?
It was kinda dark. You couldn't count clearly.
Yes. Yes.
They drank... finished our wells.
General, please save us!
General. Look, what shall we do?
Old Bo. Which way did they leave?
How long have they been gone for?
Early this morning, at the break of dawn. They went in the north-west direction.
They brought some many people. They shouldn't be far.
Okay, we'll chase after them.
Many thanks General!
Everyone you go back first.
Wait for our good news.
General.
A few of us elders here,
are familiar with the surroundings in this area.
We are willing to show you the way
to help us save our kids early. - Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Please show the way then.
Thank you, General.
Go. We will lead the way.
Go. Go. Go. Please.
Come, (let's) go. General.
This way. This way. General.
What's wrong?
Not good. The water tank is broken!
The water tanks in the other camps are also broken!
All the water is gone!
This time, our troops' movement was very secretive.
Having something like this happening,
I suspect
that it is someone from within
who has become their spy.
Yes. Them doing this
is so that they leave none of the Meng Army alive.
It must be Zhao Gao that did this.
Wait for us to get back...
I won't leave him alone.
There's no benefit of you saying this.
We should be thinking right now what to do.
How about we retreat first.
Since they already have us trapped,
they would definitely not let us go.
I'm guessing they already have the road blocked.
Fighting a quick battle would be the best option.
Reporting to General: Head Tian Wu is here.
What are they doing?
This matter. We don't have a say in this.
What is going on?
Stop!
What are you doing?
General you don't know.
We neglected our guard duty and endangered the entire army's safety.
According to the army law, the punishment is death.
Army rules.
But no one has sentenced you to death.
The warriors prize the glory of Meng Army beyond our own lives.
If someone broke the rule, (we) don't need anyone to tell us.
We will handle it ourselves.
Why are you being stupid?
You guys wait here.
I will go now and ask for mercy from General Meng,
so that he won't sentence you to death.
General.
I am grateful for your good intentions.
Even if General Meng forgives us,
we won't be able to forgive ourselves.
General, please allow us
as Meng Warriors, to take our own lives.
That way we will have respect.
Thank you, General.
Everyone stand up!
Do you know what it means to die a respectful death?
Have you never thought about living on with respect?
Everyone's life is precious.
What gives you the right to just kill yourselves?
And if you die today,
can you clear your guilt?
But even if we live,
there is no way to clear our guilt.
Fine.
I will give you two paths to choose from.
First, you can die with your guilt.
Second one,
you can place your lives in my hands
and I guarentee you will be able to wash off your guilt,
getting back your respect.
How is it? Thought about it yet?
Although I am not afraid of death,
but I am more than willing
to work to atone for my misdeeds.
No matter what General tells us to do,
we are willing to die ten thousand times!
Die ten thousand times!
Fine.
Remember well.
Starting from now,
your lives belong to me.
You will have to protect them well.
How's that?
General.
The enemy are approaching.
They're not here to fight.
How does General know?
They are waiting for help.
Help?
The help of the hot sun
to sap all our energy.
Then the army would not need to spare too much energy.
He's too thirsty.
Because of dehydration causing shock and hallucinations...
Eh! Wait!
Do not let him directly imbibe water.
Must add a little salt in it.
He is really thirsty already, why still add salt?
Even if I say it, you wouldn't understand.
Just do what I said.
I know General.
Come, add some salt.
Without water, it will be hard for the 30,000 troops to hang on.
We need to request for help.
This letter is written to my student,
Shou Li You of San Chuan Army.
Get the sending pigeon to send this immediately.
Yes, General.
I think
it may not be the best to ask for help.
The situation is critical.
We don't have time to wait.
Why don't we...
Looks like you already have your own plan.
Yes, I thought of a plan. But...
Your plan is your plan General Meng.
Listening or using it,
is my choice.
Right now,
I don't want to listen
unless you can let go of Yu Shu,
enter Meng Army, take over my position.
Or else, all your plans, I'll pretend I never heard them.
What do you mean?!
How can you take something like the lives of 30,000 soldiers to threaten me?!
Is this how you treat them?
Those of us trapped in the desert
are just 10% of the entire Meng Army.
In future, if I'm not here,
then 300,000 troops will be without a leader.
Without a leader
and the Qin Kingdom will be plunged into chaos.
Two million people will be living in an abyss of suffering.
By that time, everything is too late.
If you don't agree,
then saving the 30,000 soldiers right in front of you or not,
what difference does it make?
They just die a little later
and live a little more tragically.
Don't push me.
I won't give up on Yu Shu.
Think about it properly.
If the gates of the Qin Kingdom are broken down by Xiong Nu and the Di Army,
then where will Princess Yu Shu be?
And under whose hands will Princess Yu Shu fall under?
Have you thought about it?
Brother, brother. You can't die!
Brother, we must go through the desert together!
Brother, brother. You can't die!
Hang in there brother!
Yu Shu.
Can you hear me?
I'm sorry.
I can't watch so many people
die in front of me.
I don't want their families to lose their loved ones.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me for not having any other way.
Forgive me for not being able to be selfish for your sake.
Yu Shu.
Just forget me.
From now on there will be no Xiao Chuan.
No Xiao Chuan.
Xiao Chuan. Just now,
I actually heard you calling.
Warriors of Meng Army.
Now, our Meng Army
is experiencing a disaster like none other.
Maybe in 3 days, or 7 days...
Or today...
We will have to determine life or death.
Are you afraid?
Not Afraid! Not Afraid! Not Afraid!
Good.
But it will have to take more than not being afraid.
We, the Meng Army, will have to rescue ourselves.
God hasn't forgotten about us, the Meng Army!
He has been watching over us
and has sent someone lucky to help us.
Just now, I've found my long lost brother.
He is my long lost young brother,
Meng Yi!
No wonder young General says his surname is Yi.
So this Yi
is Meng Yi's,Yi.
You all know I am sick
but I have still been leading the Meng Army.
(This) is because
I am worried about the Meng Army.
Finally,
I have finally found someone courageous and loyal.
I can rest assured giving the Meng Army to him.
Brothers, from today onward,
I hope you all
treat Meng Yi the same as you treat me.
Just like listening to my orders,
you will listen to Meng Yi's orders.
Because...
Meng Yi is god's gift to us!
Given to us, the Meng Army to get out of this difficult situation!
Everyone... is it so?!
Yes!
Meng Yi,
from today onward,
you will be the new leader.
You will have to lead the Meng Army well.
Big Brother.
I will certainly, for the Meng Army...
I will not let (them) down.
These four words: Loyalty. Righteousness. Courage. Spirit.
I'll follow you till I die!
We're also following General till we die!
I, Meng Tian, together with the Meng Warriors,
bow to my Brother!
All of My Brothers...
Today,
you put your life in my hand. I, Meng Yi, also put my life in your guys' hands!
Please stand up!
From henceforth, our heads will support the same sky.
Our feet will step on the same earth.
We are, life and death, brothers!
General Xiao! General Xiao! General Xiao!
There are sword and helm.
They have accompanied me for many years.
Presently, I won't be able to stand on the battlefield anymore.
But this armour is still as strong.
The sword is still as sharp.
Right now, I give to you...
Hope that you can send the enemy scattering on the battlefield.
There are quite a lot of plants here.
There should be high humidity.
Give me your sword and helmet to me.
Here.
You all look carefully.
Bury a container in the sand tonight.
Then find a rack
to suspend your sword above the container.
By tomorrow, there will be water.
Water? Will there really be water?
Why?
Brothers.
Young General will definitely get us water from the sky!
Look carefully.
Water!Everyone, we have water!!
Wake up!Water!
Watch!Water! Water!
Really, there's water!There's water!
Too great, there's water!
The young General is really a deity! He has taught us how to make heavenly water!
He will surely save us out of this desert!
General Xiao! General Xiao!
General.
General Xiao. General Xiao.
You have found water from the sky. You have saved all of us!
This is my half, General please have it.
General, have it! Have it!
Okay. I will drink it.
Brothers, today after drinking this bowl of water, we will...
The desert will not beat us!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
The great Qin country is in that direction.
I promise with you,
I will bring you back alive.
Thank you for your bowl of water.
I am greatly honoured.
Young General, with this bowl of heavenly water, we will be able to fight!
Right! Right!We will be able to fight!
Good!Everyone should go and have a rest, restoring (your) energy.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I think they can't stand it anymore.
I think we overestimated them.
What victorious strategist of Qin?
I think their entire army will be dead tomorrow!
What are they doing?
Give me back my water!Because of you, we don't have any water to drink!
Fight! Fight him!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
You have brought down the whole army! You deserve to die!
I will kill you all today!
Hit him!
This rotten egg. Hit him!
Hit him!
Stop fighting!
Hit them! Hit them real hard!
Yes!
Don't let them off!
Fight!
Spread!
Chief Tian Wu!
Faster!
Walk faster! Faster!
The Honourable Pa Jia Kuo,
these slaves, I present to you.
By looking at them, they are really thirsty.
Yes, General.
Even the most courageious heroes
can't win from the sun in the desert.
Even better, armies
will not be able to win the King of Desert, Pa Jia Kuo.
I saw with my own eyes,
the Qin Army is on the verge of death.
Good, Wu Tao. Thank you for your presents.
I will reward you.
It is my pride to fight for Pa Jia Huo.
Since now that they are my slaves,
I can't let anything happen to my properties..
Don't fight over it.
Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother!
Guo Pao!
Guo Pao, I won't let you die in vain. I'll get you revenge!
You Bandits of Di Army!
Not even having the courage to fight us Meng Army face to face!
Using cheap tricks! Wrecked our water supply and got us a death sentence!
Brothers. Since we're going to die...
Let's fight with them to death!
Fight to death! Fight to death!
I admire your courage.
As long as agree to listen to me,
I will give you water, food, and freedom.
Even though we were kicked out,
but when it comes down to it, we are still soldiers of the Great Qin country.
Why should we risk our lives for a bandit? - Shut up! How dare you insult the great Pa Jia Kuo?
You've really got a death wish.
Wu Tuo!
Let them stay.
Torture them well.
Let them know what's in store of those who offend me.
Yes, Lord.
Great King! Great King! Great King!
The sun in the desert
has taken care of the courage of our enemies.
This will be the right time to go out!
Let's cheer for Pa Jia Kuo!
Pa Jia Kuo! Pa Jia Kuo! Pa Jia Kuo!
Soldiers!
Go get your properties and slaves.
I will wait here and prepare a feast
and wait for your return! - Go, go, go! Fast!
Got tricked! Retreat!
Chase them!
Extinguish the fire! Hurry! Extinguish the fire!
Yes! Yes!
I said, I will definitely help my friend get revenge.
Stop!
Soldiers, listen to my orders!
Stop attack! Retreat immediately!
General. Why are we heading back?
We can't stop now!
No speaking! Disobedience will be punished!
Meng Yi.
We have won.
Very good.
This is your first battle and you have obtained such a huge victory.
The future is limitless.
General, today the Di Army has suffered a great loss.
This was a good opportunity to kill them all,
but the General ordered us to get back here.
I do not understand.
There are many enemies around the Qin Kingdom.
Can you really, one by one, kill them all?
If you could,
why didn't our ancestors do it? Why would it be like this now?
Even if we can't kill everyone, we should kill to our satisfaction.
Satisfaction!
You want satisfaction!
I'm telling you, our enemies are people too!
How many wives and children will be left without a family by war?
Killing without limit
will create only more hate!
It will never bring peace.
Meng Yi. Meng Yi.
Don't you understand the rules of war?
Those are Big Brother's views on war.
Right now, I'm in charge of the Meng Army.
I will never let what happended with the nine girls from Xiong Nu
happen again.
Since you have given the reins of Meng Army to me,
you will have to respect my views.
Meng Yi, listen.
I've handed over the Meng Army to you.
I still have to remind you, you better be prepared.
The Di Army will not simply give up.
Reporting to General: Chief Tian Wu and gang are back!
