Emergency report!
An enemy attack from the left!
It's about 100 men!
They've already progressed to the second formation!
I see.
So that's what it is...?
Wang Qi,
your target is... my head?
Interesting. If you think you can get it, go ahead and try!
The setting is before the common era,
in the State of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
The nameless boy Xin met with the young King Zheng,
distinguished himself in war, and finally become a Hundred-Man General.
Among those events, the neighboring State of Zhao suddenly invaded,
presenting an unprecedented crisis.
What kind of war will Supreme Commander Wang Qi wage?
And what kind of growth with Xin achieve?

Wang Qi's Flying Arrow
We can do it! We can do it!
If we keep this up, we can do it!
The method of a surprise attack where the enemy isn't prepared,
that was a tactic Mr. Yuan and I used tons of times in that stateless area!
We were only protecting 100 tribe members.
So honestly, that was the only trick we had.
But thanks to that, we learned the power of surprise attacks!
W-We got through.
B-But the real problem is what comes next.
Lu Yan
So far, we've attacked them while they were unprepared...
but now that effect is gone.
The battle now...
will simply be strength versus strength.
Be careful!
These guys all look pretty decent!
A Wu! Form a Wu!
We're screwed!
L-Lord Xin!
Lord Qiang Lei!
W-We have to fight!
Feixin Unit! Follow our general!
At this moment, the State of Qin's left army fight had become one sided.
Running away under a rain of arrows, the State of Qin Army was
being thoroughly beaten by the State of Zhao's Cleanup Unit.
Gan Yang and Bi's units of about 1,500 were marching forward and escaping the hardship,
but the vast majority of the State of Qin's left army was being routed and beaten.
No more than 30% of the original left army survived.
And the Zhao soldiers leisurely chased after them.
But in spite of this state of affairs, Wang Qi did not move.
Shit...
The enemy... is too strong...
Plus, we're so fatigued...
My consciousness is fading...
My eyes are... getting hazy...
I feel like I'm about to collapse already...
But... But...
Every time he cuts someone, my strength comes back!
Every time our general cuts down an enemy...
power surges throughout our bodies again!
What's with these guys...?
The general of this Hundred-Man Unit is such a skilled kid...?
And amazingly, he seems to be a pillar holding up his unit's spirit.
But mere morale will never be enough to break through our elite guards!
That's right.
If they keep up this war of attrition,
they'll eventually get worn down and collapse.
The certainty of our victory shall not change!
Forward! Forward!
Forward!
Shit. Even if we keep fighting like this, we're not making any progress!
What the hell can we do...?
Vice General!
What is it, Lu Yan?!
Continuing like this will get us nowhere!
I know!
But right now, unless we make our way through these enemies...
In regards to that...
Y-You're right, that's our only chance.
Lord Xin! I'm sorry!
What're you doing at a time like this?!
Sorry,
but this is urgent!
Split up... the unit?
Yes!
If this war of attrition keeps going, we'll eventually all run out of strength
and we won't be able to break through here.
So while we have the chance, we break up this Hundred Man Unit into two units,
an elite unit and a lesser unit.
The rear unit will draw the attention of the enemy to this area,
and the elite unit should head toward the location of Zhao General, Feng Ji.
Draw their attention...?
Hold on a second!
If we do that, the guys that stay behind will be wiped out!
Never mind that!
What?!
The Feixin Unit's mission is not to attack the enemy in this area
nor is it to bring all 100 members back alive.
It is to defeat the Zhao General, Feng Ji!
As long as we achieve that, even if our unit is reduced by half or more,
it will be the Feixin Unit's victory!
If we can be the foundation of that,
then we will gladly remain here!
We?
I'll stay behind!
The people fighting here will need a general, after all.
Mr. Yuan...
Young Xin!
It is just as Vice General Yuan says.
Don't worry about us, just go, please!
Mr. Ze...
Just as you said, Young Xin.
This is a battle we absolutely must win!
And many of us are almost at our limits, myself included.
If only an elite unit escapes,
then there will no longer be a need for anyone here.
We will withdraw from here as well, without delay.
If it's running away we need to do, then we're more than capable.
Please, you must hurry.
Mr. Ze...
It's a bluff.
Escaping from this enemy formation would be no easy feat.
But since that came from Lord Xin's former Wuchang
I would expect Lord Xin will be able to act!
The Wu that can still run...
Pei Lang! Tian Yong!
The Wu that can still fight...
Zhong Tie! Qu Hai! Long You! Bang!
The Wu that still haven't lost their vigor!
Tian You! Long Chuan! Wei Ping! Wei Dao!
Bring everyone in your Wu that can fight and come with me!
We're splitting the Hundred Man Unit in two?
No, that's fine.
That's our only plan now.
Qiang Lei!
Where's Qiang Lei?!
Mr. Yuan!
Yes?!
When we're gone, get out of here no matter what comes your way!
We'll definitely meet up again after!
I'll make Feng Ji bow his head to me!
I wish you the fortunes of battle!
You, too.
Let's go!
Do you think we'll let you State of Qin dogs escape?!
We will get through!
And we're looking forward to taking your general's head!
Leave this to me!
Captain!
Feng Ji!
Just like how one maintains a distance from one's opponent in a sword fight,
a general leading an army also has his own fighting space.
A general's full ability is displayed when one is within that range.
Feng Ji's space is from mid-range to long-range, isn't it?
Yes, so it would seem.
Yes. And that range deviates from Feng Ji's space, isn't it?
Yes, sir. It is too close.
I'm counting on you, Youngster Xin.
My flying arrow...
What's come of that small unit that attacked from the side?
They still seem to be in mid-battle,
but their number has already been reduced to half.
So it's over, is it?
Yes, sir!
So that's... the headquarters?!
I-Impossible!
They got through the elite guard?!
No, they're still fighting!
What do you mean?!
So they split their 100 in two.
They used half their comrades as a shield to get here, did they?
It's the headquarters.
We finally... made it here...
Let's kill them.
Qiang Lei, what're the enemy's numbers?
Two to three hundred.
So it's 30 versus 300, huh?
Don't worry.
There's only 150 on this side of Feng Ji.
It's 15 across and 10 wide.
In other words, if we can cut through 10 men, we can get to the general's head.
All right!
That, we can make!
Okay. Wait for us, Mr. Yuan, everybody...
And prepare yourself, Feng Ji!
Let's go, bastards!
General Wang Qi said that this battle, the opening phase is the most important one!
We're going to end it with our own hands!
They're charging.
Do you seriously think they'll make it all the way here?
Or do you think they're planning to scatter in a showy fashion?
No, they'll come.
They'll come here.
Those 30 people are challenging this entire headquarters formation?
Foot soldiers, at the ready!
Send those death-dodging bastards to the next world!
In extremely rare cases, there are times when people hold a power that goes beyond the boundaries of conventional thinking.
The more logical the general, the more easily they slip against such people.
This is honestly the first time an enemy has gotten this close to me,
but it's not a bad thing to have battles like this on occasion.
What're you doing?! Don't let them through!
Stooop!
Out of the way!
I'll bury them myself!
Lord Shou!
You brat!
Zhao Jue Unit, Zhao Gao Unit, move forward!
Why can't the mounted soldiers stop a mere thirty people?!
Would you hurry and take them down?!
Though they only number in the dozens,
to use their momentum means they are quite untouchable, yes?
The down side to having a headquarters mostly made up of mounted soldiers has shown its face.
Horses are used for running.
Gathered into a crowd, they cannot utilize that strength.
What do you think that schemer Feng Ji is planning to do next?
There's nothing, really.
Cramped into that position, there's no room for any plans.
Especially for Feng Ji...
It's true that interring the majority of the Qin left army was skillful,
but in exchange for that,
Feng Ji allowed the Feixin Unit to penetrate deep into his bosom.
Against someone as unskilled at close-range battles as Feng Ji,
overlooking the Feixin Unit will turn out to be an irrecoverable misstep.
Will it continue like this to a conclusion?
I would say so.
Though, I suppose there is still one way for Feng Ji to weasel his way out of this situation...
All right! We got though!
Through?
We got... through?
The one method Feng Ji can use to recover...
is...
to regain the distance he lost.
Y-You're kidding, right?
Even though he's a general...
Even though he's got 150 men...
They're retreating from the 30 of us?
Stop. That's enough.
All units, halt!
Just what I'd expect from him.
With that one tactic, Youngster Xin has been brought to the jaws of death.
If he sends out the mounted units from that range
not one foot soldier will be left standing.
Yes, indeed...
This is bad!
We're gonna be attacked from behind!
Wh-What do we do?
We're totally cornered...
Right now, we need to get out of here or...
Maybe Qiang Lei and I could manage something, but...
these guys don't have a chance!
G-Go... Xin...
You and Qiang Lei... can make it... out.
Go!
What're you talking about?!
Don't go screwing around-
I'm not screwing around!
I told you to go, you fucking moron!
You can't die here!
You're gonna become the greatest general under the heavens, aren't you?!
I can't.
Xin!
If you don't do something, this is the end!
Go!
How could I?
I'm sorry, Qiang Lei.
Don't apologize.
It's not over yet.
Wh-What?!
L-Lord Feng Ji, from the front!
The left army...
The left army mounted soldiers are coming through the Zhao defensive wall!
40... 50... They keep coming and coming!
It's Gan Yang!
You know him?!
He's one of Wang Qi's close aides.
He's probably the general of the left army!
I'm here for your head, Feng Ji!
Impudent fool...
Call the right half!
What is it this time?!
Backup the Gan Yang Unit!
Do not let the enemy foot soldiers near their headquarters or near the Gan Yang Unit!
Even Brother Bi is here.
All units, charge!
They finally made it though, it seems.
We're going, too!
It went just the way the general said, Xin!
He said it back at the beginning!
While the enemy and the left army are fighting,
we would slip though the confusion and take the general's head!
Now's that moment!
Don't slow down on our account!
Go at full speed to take General Feng Ji's head!
Wei Dao...
Hurry, go!
You've got to take the general's head, Xin!
Got it!
That general's head is mine!
But everyone, listen up!
I'll be taking the achievement,
but we're splitting the reward equally!
The living and the dead,
all get one hundredth of the total!
Go!
Captain!
Xin.
What?
When you get close to the general, aim for a moment's opening.
Don't let it slip away.
There will definitely be a chance.
Got it.
Comrades, huh...?
What are you acting so proud of?
Left army general, do you think you've cornered me?
There are no errors in my strategy.
But even without any strategical errors,
small errors in calculation manifest themselves.
That is the nature of actual battle.
The current state of affairs is nothing but the result of overlapping good luck they've had from that error in calculation.
Luck?
No.
That simply doesn't explain it.
Would I allow my enemies to get this close to me merely on luck?
Does that mean there was an error in my strategy?
It's him...
and that platoon that attacked from the side.
My headquarters is broken apart because of them.
But among the tactics with an army of 10,000 versus an army of 10,000,
the advancement of a Hundred Man Unit is nothing more than part of that error in calculation.
First, that platoon reaching the headquarters was a coincidence.
If I hadn't opened both wings in order to inter the State of Qin left army,
they wouldn't have gotten in.
Did the platoon break off because the wings opened?!
Was I pushed towards opening the wings?!
Did that man send the left army of 10,000 charging in order to achieve that...?!
The advance of the platoon is not a coincidence.
With my first move, I had already fallen for that man's tricks...!
Feng Ji's love of tactics has backfired on him, hasn't it?
He lacked the caution to use those bold moves.
That Feng Ji just loves attacking, doesn't he?
But you occasionally need the a sense for defense.
To have manipulated the left battlefield without even leading it, you are quite the genius, Lord.
Believe it or not, I actually don't mind them.
Long distance battles.
We're retreating!
Lord Feng Ji!
I have no interest in dealing with these remnants.
You and the forward defensive wall take care of them.
The rear soldiers and I will be making a temporary retreat to the thicket.
Yes, sir!
That's far enough, Feng Ji!
You're ten years early to try to show off a plan in front of me!
Nonsense!
You're the one's conceited with your plans!
The proof of that is your group reached here alone.
I'll kill you, slaughter the remaining soldiers, and inter the entire left army!
That will never happen.
Your fate...
has already been sealed.
I should be the one saying that to you!
Kill that man!
Feng Ji...
The Lord's flying arrow...
has reached its target.
I... I got it...
