Ultimately, war is its generals.
Wu Qing is treating the war as a game board of logic.
On the other hand, Biao Gong's war is one big blazing flame.
Don't understand?
Wu Qing cannot understand Biao Gong's way of war either.
But neither can Biao Gong
see all of Wu Qing's strategy.
Which is right?
Which is wrong?
We can't know unless one of their heads goes flying.
Ancient China.
After learning that the era of saints had ended,
human desire was unleashed.
And a storm of violent wars lasting a monumentally long 500 years erupted all across China.
Desire, pleasure, pain, fear.
With that world filled with such relentless despair, it was as though a dragon had invaded.
A dragon called the era.
And as if burned by the flames of a dragon,
over one hundred states were destroyed, one by one, until only seven were left standing.
Yan, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu...
and Qin.
The seven great powers, in order to devour each other,
took up their swords of desire and continuously pieced the throats of enemy states.
The world knew it as the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
And now, a wind of great history gusts from the state of Qin in the far West.
This is the tumultuous tale of a nameless boy and a young king who brought the warring era to its end!

The Meaning of General
Enemy's coming from the left!
Five to six thousand!
Biao Gong, eh?
The fool!
No surprise attack will make it through the Qu Qing Army.
S-So fast! The State of Wei Army has changed formations again!
This ain't good!
They finished making their formation before the charge reached them!
They're gonna collide!
Even Wu Qing will be surprised by this.
General Biao Gong's military power is far above what Wu Qing had anticipated.
However, that man only wields half the military might that I do.
And...
the strength of the army he's leading is a bit greater than the Wang Qi Army.
He would scatter one or two of our formations.
However...
General Biao Gong cannot predict what Wu Qing's next moves will be.
Call and Zhu Gui and Ma Gui. It's time to hunt.
Yes, sir!
Are you beginning to understand?
What "War is its generals" means?
"War is its generals"?!
Then what are we?!
What are the dead?!
What is Fu Hushen's death?!
Don't screw around! We're fighting!
Bi Unit!
Charging formation!
We're going to back up General Biao Gong!
This is likely to be the final battle!
Everyone, use everything you've got left!
Now we depart!
War is absolutely not defined by its generals, General Wang Qi!
Bi...
My, my.
He's really jumped to conclusions, hasn't he? Aide Bi...
Why do you think Biao Gong has been moving his army so recklessly?
It is because the state of war has kept moving
and that Wu Gong has left the geographically advantageous hill and is now in front of us.
For the Qin Army soldiers that seemed to die meaninglessly in the beginning,
in terms of Biao Gong's style, were noble sacrifices for the sake of victory.
Thousand-Man General Fu Hushen said the same thing...
But the one who sent out those sacrifices was none other than Biao Gong.
So in other words, war...
Depends on the generals!
Exactly.
Understand, youngster Xin?
The situation we currently stand at
was all guided by those two in order to gain victory.
Just two people... created this huge war...?
Yes. That is...
what is known as a general!
General...
We will become the greatest generals under the heavens!
Greatest generals under the heavens...
Strong heroes whose names everyone knows...
Somehow, without knowing those things, I would always scream that...
But... now I think I can see how it truly is.
Because of this huge man's words...
General... Wang Qi.
That's right!
For a while now...
I've been talking with a general!
General Wang Qi. Please, lend me a horse!
Are you going as well?
As I said in my speech, it won't amount to much of anything.
That's definitely true, but...
if the head of a Great General is in sight, there's no way I could not act!
Mr. Ze, take this.
It's the Vice General's head.
Hold onto it for me!
That kid... left again.
Xin...
Who is that guy?
Well, he's an idiot. Just like how he looks.
But he's gonna become the greatest general under the heavens.
Greatest general under the heavens...
So he's a great idiot.
The way to bring down a raging bull is not to immediately aim for the head.
Wei is changing formations again.
Oh my...
Against General Biao Gong's rush,
I thought he would widen his defenses.
But he has moved the inner-troops to the sides.
That Wu Qing. I knew his head would not be taken so easily.
It seems he's realized the strength of the Biao Gong Army's rushing force.
Right side!
The Chariot Corps are approaching!
From the left as well! Here they come!
It's not General Biao Gong he's attacking, but his subordinates?
That aberrant charge with the general taking the lead himself...
The enemy is sure to aim for the head horse.
It's only natural.
Seeing how if that horse is taken down, the war is over.
But they can't beat him.
That one horse
standing in front of General Biao Gong means he is standing in front of the Biao Gong Army...
The general standing in front means the whole army's morale is boosted to the utmost
and it attacks as one.
The enemy soldiers are affected by this spirit.
And cannot move out of fear.
That power of that charge which is easily splitting apart the enemy...
Biao Gong's power alone is great of course,
but with them following after their leader, with little likelihood of him being killed,
the presence of the Biao Gong Army's soldiers is quite large.
One would not be going too far to say
that the pressure they exude is the source of the Biao Gong Army's strength.
I see. Sensing that, Wu Qing split his army into two flanks.
Yes. He has narrowed his target to the soldiers in back.
Crush them to a pulp!
It looks like he's shaved some off.
The height of the morale is created utterly for the reason of protecting the leader.
If he's targeted himself, he can only use his own natural power.
Biao Gong. If you continue in this way,
you will end up alone in a sea of the Wei Army, I'm afraid.
Shit!
No matter what we try here, a breakthrough is impossible, Bi!
We only have a hundred mounted solders!
Forget aiding the Biao Gong Army,
we'll be killed the moment we enter the enemy's formation!
Just trust me and come along, Shang Lu!
When we saw the enemy from above, I realized something.
Even if it is Wu Qing's main army, with these numbers
there were many units that could not move quickly.
We just need to target them!
We'll enter from here!
What's with these guys? They're weak.
If we keep this up...
So you're trying to only target the weak?!
Come on! I'm different from the others!
This is awesome, Bi!
This horse that General Wang Qi lent me!
It's so fast it feels like it's flying!
Come with me, Xin!
Crash through the left army that's attacking the Biao Gong Army!
Got it, Thousand-Man General Bi!
The forces of the Qin Army has halved!
There is likely less than 3,000 remaining!
Chariot Corps, join the left!
Give our army further dominance!
You called, Lord Wu Qing?
Before long, the Biao Gong Army will be wiped out.
And Biao Gong will be left alone.
Hunt his head and bring down the curtain on this war,
Zhu Gui, Ma Gui.
As good as done, sir.
He got through!
They're not even resisting!
These guys are so weak!
I just targeted the area that seemed weak.
If you get caught up in the moment, you'll be killed, Xin!
Look, Bi!
It's the Biao Gong Army!
Okay!
By the way, my lord.
Although we were just passing by on other business,
would it be not apt to take this opportunity to intervene?
This is quite enough.
Just by being atop this hill,
we are considerably restraining the Wei Army.
Also...
Would you not like to see it for yourself?
The true capability of these emerging powers?
Emerging powers?
Yes.
Up until now in the State of Qin, there were only the two factions of Lü Shi and Jie Shi,
but new powers have been born.
That is one faction led by Changwenjun.
So a faction working directly under the king is an emerging power? What's with that?
That's reality.
Their size compared to that of Lü Shi is like a baby to an adult.
But in order for me to gain real power,
it is indispensable for the Changwenjun faction to gain strength together with me.
Changwenjun is the official standing at its helm.
And the one leading the field of battle is Aide Bi.
It is because of that that it's necessary for Bi to direct forces in this war.
Ya know, even if it's not true, could you say that Xin is doing that?
Well, it's his first campaign.
I guess we can't hope for that much, huh?
Here it is! Let's go!
A State of Qin Army of mounted unit has appeared from the left!
It is a separate mounted unit from the Biao Gong Army!
What?!
They seem to be attacking the right army from the exterior!
There are less than 100 of them!
All right!
We're here to help you, Biao Gong Army!
Wait, Xin!
There's no need for us to go!
The new mounted unit is not attacking!
They are still running parallel to the right!
Why, Bi?!
Why aren't we attacking?!
We came all the way here to be backup, didn't we?
If we attack with these numbers, we'll be defeated!
We should continue running parallel
and give them backup psychologically!
Psychologically?
They're stuck in between!
With the enemy approaching from the front, sides, or behind,
our soldiers receive a psychological strain and lose morale.
Because of that the Biao Gong Army is in a tough fight.
But now, with the Biao Gong Army and us,
we surround the Wei Army as well!
There may be few of us,
but we should still be putting pressure on the Wei Army!
General Wang Qi said that the Biao Gong Army is stronger than the Wang Qi Army...
Then this indirect backup should be plenty!
To the left!
Understood!
Crush the left army!
General Biao Gong has gone on the offensive!
All right!
Aw, awesome!
I knew that Biao Gong Army was something!
Xin?!
Pressure of armies, huh?
We, the hunters of military commanders,
cannot let such shallow trickery pass by!
I'll send those horses' heads flying.
Then I will take the humans' heads.
We will split the credit 50-50.
Got it.
Wait. One horse is coming.
There's no time.
I know.
Just as I thought.
You're pretty strong, ain'cha?!
It was worth it to rush ahead.
What is it?!
Ma Gui is now in combat with one mounted solider that appeared from the flank!
What?!
Shit!
I thought I'd be able to cut them both down!
But just this one guy is really good!
Hurry, Ma Gui! They're coming!
This guy's... getting sloppy!
Die!
What?!
Biao Gong!
General Biao Gong!
Lord Zhu Gui and Ma Gui have been killed!
Biao Gong has broken through the final defensive barrier!
Oh... Oh-no!
Biao Gong is coming!
All units! Battle positions!
Biao Gong is coming!
Do not lose your presence of mind!
We have twice their numbers here!
And the strategy Lord Wu Qing has, which is no fewer than one hundred strategies, will soon be unleashed!
We shall be victorious!
Lord Wu Qing, your orders...
By my plan, there will be no need to clash with Biao Gong, who has relied on luck and momentum.
I, Jii, believe we should return temporarily to the hill and reorganize
and slowly break down the Qin Army. But...
Lord Wu Qing?
This is why we cannot stop now.
This is war!
It started with the slaughter at Wan Castle.
And now much blood from both armies has spilled.
Wu Qing.
We finally meet.
There is no need to interfere.
General Biao Gong...!
One on one? That's insane! What are they planning?
In armed combat, Wu Qing should not be a match for General Biao Gong.
Is it a trap?

Wu Qing!
They are cool-headedly surrounded.
They can no longer run away!
So burn away that encirclement!
