[Novoland: Eagle Flag] [Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]
[Episode 39]
Three days? It seems General Bai has planned everything.
Why do you need the five of us then?
Shangyang Pass is considered easy to defend but difficult to attack, according to military strategy books.
Even though we outnumber them,
but a single army cannot overcome Thunder Calvary.
I need the military seal from everyone here.
Within three days, only my seal has the authority to allow movement.
General Bai, do you already have a strategy to attack them?
No comment.
You will find out only at the moment the attack order is issued.
General Bai,
this means that you don't want to tell us your plan and plot,
and you also want to be in charge of the armies from five states?
I have to keep my plan under extreme secrecy.
I also need the troops to move at the same time to execute the plan.
I ask all of you to cooperate.
Cooperate?
General Bai, we do not have a lord-subject relationship.
But we have the same enemy, Thunder Calvary.
Chen State's Wind Tiger Calvary
doesn't take someone else's order, either.
It's not that we, Xiu State, do not believe in your strategy,
but the Lord bestowed me the command of our soldiers to fight for the emperor's sake.
If I give their lives to General Bai,
how do I face His Lordship and the soldiers' families if something bad happens?
I'm sure that question is on everyone's mind.
But you should all know very well,
everyone is a highly acclaimed general, and no one among us can conquer the others.
However,
an army must have order. Even with all five famous generals,
we are just a random crowd
that will be trampled by Li State's Iron Calvary.
Alright.
We are all on the same boat. We cannot retreat and must move forward.
We can only choose to trust him.
You want a united heart, I give you my united heart.
The Lower Tang's soldiers and horses
are hereby to be commanded by General Bai.
I only brought 100 calvary men from Revelation City, but
but I'm willing to give the command authority
to General Bai.
Even if General Bai
wants them to kill me, they can't go against it too.
Thank you, Envoy Tie.
Since Envoy Tie said that,
I believe General Bai.
But I wish General Bai success in the battle.
General Bai dares to be the first in the kingdom.
Are you willing to bear the consequences?
Of course.
The late Emperor bestowed this to me,
General Yue of Imperial Palace's seal
and Marquis Wuyang's seal.
These two seals are sufficient to mobilize the 70,000 soldiers of my Chuwei State.
I will leave these two seals here and fight the battle with you
to get Ying Wuyi's head.
I respect you as the military commander-in-chief.
Don't make me disappointed.
How are you so fast?
You should know now.
No matter how fast you run, it's pointless.
Isn't it because I danced
a dance which I didn't even know what it is?
Fine, fine, fine.
Just because of that, you think I'm not an ordinary Yu person?
Mr, Yi, why don't you let me go?
How's about we make a deal?
What kind of a deal?
How's this? You release me. Whatever you want, I'll give you.
I want the Jiwu God.
And that's you.
I don't even know what Ji Wu is.
Then I'll tell you. Listen well.
You father was
Your father was a renowned leader of the Yu tribe in a city-state.
Fifteen years ago, because of an internal struggle for power,
your father died.
Thereafter, the three biggest city-states of the Yu tribe
started a long and endless mutual attack.
For fifteen years,
there has never been a peaceful day.
The water of the river flowed to Tiantai Channel.
and almost dyed it all blood red.
This is all stuff that happened fifteen years ago. What does it have to do with me now?
According to legend, the daughter of Emperor Yu has the blood of Jiwu God.
She is the savior of thousands of people in Qing province.
I saw you dance that night.
Hence, I dare to confirm that you are our princess.
Okay, I'm the princess.
Then how much power does the princess have?
Can I order you to release me?
Looks like you still don't believe me.
I believe you. I believe you are part of Tianqu.
Oh, right. Tianqu members have to follow Asule's words.
Let me tell you. If Asule knows that you kidnapped me, he's definitely not letting you off.
He can't help you. No one can.
You have to depend on yourself.
Princess, Your Highness.
Since you say I'm the princess, then let me ask you.
Why did my father die?
Who killed him?
See, you won't say anything. How do you expect me to believe you?
One moment, you said that you are Heavenly Samurai and the next, you are from Yu.
How can I tell just who or what you are?!
Say something!
Everything that I have done, it was
so that I can return to Qing province one day.
Your...
wings.
When we get to Qingzhou, you'll understand everything.
Every Yu people will have a pair of wings.
Didn't you wonder why you couldn't grow wings?
I'm telling you now. In the near future,
you will have a pair of wings too.
[Capital, Revelation City]
The chess board is already set. It's time to make the moves.
I'm here to bid farewell.
Everything is done according to your layout.
There are changes even in God's world.
Hence, I need to go personally.
Where are the changes?
Heavenly Samurai.
I know the people of Heavenly Samurai very well.
In the military, they are deep-rooted with extensive branches headed by Xi Yan.
Only if they are completely eliminated, the war will
so that it can go to the direction of the conclusion that we need.
Sir Bicheng, you are so full of foresight, but once you leave,
I will be short of a person. Ningging is not in the capital too.
Grand Princess, don't worry.
New allies will show up.
What you need to do now,
it's to wait quietly for a few days.
Your Lord, based on the time of delivery of State Preceptor's letter,
tomorrow will the the third day of the agreement between Bai Yi and Ying Wuyi.
The war to change Eastland will be here soon.
Everyone in the kingdom said this will be a disaster
but opportunity often follows crisis.
We have been waiting for hours.
I think he's turning simple matters into mysteries.
Bai Yi, tomorrow is the third day of our agreement.
The soldiers are marching and want to set off. You are still not ready yet.
Just what do you want?!
General Cheng, stop fretting.
He plays his bamboo flute at night, so he sleeps during the day.
Perhaps, he really has a well-thought out plan.
Or he's deliberately doing this. No one knows.
General Xi.
General Xi, you are here just in time. You get along well with General Bai.
Stop him from creating troubles. He's furious now.
Come, everyone.
This is the most famous tea from Lower Tang.
It cleanses the liver and improves vision. Please drink this to calm down.
General Xi.
General Bai has such a rotten temper. How can the both of you be friends?
Thunder Calvary is famous for attacks and breakouts,
but it is also good at defense.
Shangyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they already hold an advantage.
If we don't organize our formations in advance, I'm afraid that
we won't even touch the fort's wall.
We are fighting a battle using 70,000 soldiers.
If we deploy the soldiers,
I'm afraid it's already too late, don't you think?
Let's just wait quietly for General Bai's miracle.
What miracle?
Drink your tea.
Please.
I have known General Bai for many years.
I know that he is someone who will do what he says and will deliver results.
He made a promise with Ying Wuyi for three days.
By midnight tomorrow, he will definitely get on top of Shangyang Pass.
Everyone will lose once.
What Bai Yi is going against,
it's Ying Wuyi.
I'm taking bets.
I bet on General Bai. What about the rest?
Tomorrow is the third day of the agreement.
Ji Ye, let me tell you. When the battle starts, no one knows what will happen.
There's a small path leading down to the mountain at the north gate of Shangyang Pass.
If then, you still want to look for that brat, I'll let you go.
I'm definitely worried about Yu Ran
but I don't know where to find her.
Seeing that Asule and Little Zhou
are still in this place which could collapse anytime,
I can't leave and just ignore them too.
This is your own decision.
When that time comes, don't say that I didn't give you the opportunity.
What's wrong? Let's go.
Go take a look.
Quick.
What's wrong?
Ying Yu. Ying Yu.
Ying Yu.
You are so at ease, either playing the flute
or waiting for time to pass.
If there's something you want to ask, just ask.
just ask. If there's any distrust in the heart,
I will tell you why I played the flute for three nights.
When the soldiers and horses don't move,
it's a must for the sound of the flute every day.
Those who listened and understood will have the faith to live on.
For the rest who listened and didn't understand, it's even much better.
Don't ignore the use of deceit in a battle. It's exactly my purpose.
Old Bai.
You should let go of your arrogance.
After all, this is an army formed by alliance.
Chuwei State is already at odds with the other states.
This current alliance is necessary.
After this battle, there will be another war among all the states.
Lord Baili of Lower Tang must be thinking the same.
His Lordship definitely has the avaricious aspiration,
but at least tonight, we are fighting the same battle.
Speaking of these people, I'm really worried.
Baili Ningqing?
That's right.
Don't you find his sudden support rather strange?
He has been focus on starting this battle and supporting your military leadership.
Could it be that he wants to get rid of Ying Wuyi?
Let's not think more into this.
We can only go all out to fight. We don't have any choices.
This rascal was waiting for the wind.
The sound of the flute ended early tonight.
Today's the third day
but there's still no movements.
Lord.
What's wrong? What's going on?
Something has happened, Lord.
In our platoon 1, 2, and 3, there are people being poisoned. The victims' faces look purplish,
with seizure in the entire body. Here's the military physician.
- Greetings, Lord. - Rise.
What's wrong?
After examination, I'm afraid it's Monkshood, a toxin used to poison wolves.
The victims have seizure, feel hot, and can't breathe easily.
These symptoms match the effect of digesting the toxin.
Where did the poison come from?
The water.
I have already investigated. A few wells in the city,
There is a medicinal odor in the water.
At first it smells like the water having too much algae.
The soldiers did not suspect it.
How many people are poisoned?
Less than 3,000 are poisoned. More than 10,000 feel unwell.
I thought Bai Yi was some kind of hero.
Who knew that he'd use such underhanded methods.
There's one thing I can't seem to understand.
The wells in the city were guarded by us.
How did you throw poison into them?
- Could there be a spy in our army? - Spy?
Almost 10,000 have ingested the toxin.
How did he move the toxin without being discovered?
Lord, there's one possibility.
The source of the poison in the water.
But you said that the water in Shangyang Pass is from the mountain spring.
The source of the mountain springs is deep underground. For Bai Yi to find it, it would take a year at last.
Perhaps, Bai Yi really took a year to verify it.
I've also said Bai Yi is the kind who plans thoroughly and only starts a battle when he is sure there is no miscalculation.
It's also not an exception for this time for him to verify first.
He was waiting for us to fight.
- Is there an antidote for the poison? - Yes, there is.
- I just need to make a prescription. - Hurry up with the prescription.
Okay.
Lord.
Just spit it out.
The princess was also poisoned.
Let's go and see her.
The medicine is ready. Get up and drink it.
How to drink it?
I can't even move.
Here.
Is this how you take care of women?
If not, how am I supposed to do it?
Yu Ran is a pretty girl.
How could she be interested in such a dull person like you?
Then I'll go find someone who knows how to take care of others to come here.
Who is it?
Who did you think I was?
No one.
Extend your hand. Let your Uncle Xie check your pulse.
Prefecture Princess.
It's the Monkshood toxin.
Lord, she's a woman and weak.
The toxin's effect is stronger on her.
- How did you get poisoned? - Did the spy from the alliance army enter here?
It wasn't a spy.
General Bai added poison into the water.
This means the onslaught will start soon.
Are you afraid?
With my father around, what's there to be afraid of?
That's right.
With Father around, there's nothing for you to be afraid of.
Even when it comes to taking medicine.
Come here.
What a great poison strategy.
Lord, there's a situation.
What is it?
Suddenly there are countless flickering torches that are burning across from us.
It seems like the five states are assembling. I don't know what they are trying to do.
Take me up there to see.
Yes, sir.
Prefecture Princess, you need to push hard.
Doesn't even know how to put on the boots.
You shouldn't be running about right now.
What?
Don't you want to rescue Lu Guichen and that princess?
I'll let them go.
Go and save them.
Father shouldn't have taken them as hostages.
I'm saying, you can't go out in this condition.
There's poisonous smoke outside. You won't be able to withstand it.
Use a handkerchief to cover your nose. I will escort you out.
70,000 men has indeed started to take actions.
Our spy found out that Bai Yi has taken all the other generals' seals.
He appears to be the sole command of this battle.
Who cares who is in command!
With our military strength, he can't break in.
My Lord, look at their formation.
Are they planning to blow up our fort's wall to come in?
My Lord, it's a tactic to create fogs.
I wonder why that rascal Bai Yi made a three-day agreement with me.
So he has been waiting for the north wind for help.
General Bai, you are really outstanding in strategies.
In such a windy day,
hundreds of fire balls are thrown into Shangyang pass,
the Li army will be forced to come out of the gate.
The win looks certain.
Right now, the one who supports General Bai the most
must be General Xi, right?
Li army is ferocious. When they come out of the fort to fight,
we won't necessarily win.
Once a beast is forced out, the beast will be even more ferocious.
General Bai, are you concerned that both sides will lose?
General Fei seems to be displeased that I didn't reveal my strategy previously.
A military strategy's success is best when it's least expected.
Please forgive me.
They are about to attack the fort.
My Lord, I will go guard the gates.
No.
Go open the gates.
- Is our Thunder Calvary ready? - Yes.
You want them to come in to fight?
While they are still preparing,
we suddenly open the gates
and deploy all the Thunder Calvary.
We'll kill them when they don't expect it.
My Lord, then you watch the base.
Zhang Bo and I will rush out with Thunder Calvary.
Okay!
We have been through hundreds of battles. We could have died already.
But to name someone to get my head,
there is no one in Eastland,
not even Bai Yi himself can do it!
Get ready!
All army get ready!
Ying Wuyi is about to come out. Let's be ready!
The military horses are moving. It looks like the battle has started.
Why haven't we seen Ji Ye yet? He isn't in danger, is he?
Li State's Prefecture Princess and Ji Ye have a strong connection.
Since she already let us in despite the risk of insubordination,
she won't let Ji Yet get into danger. You don't need to worry.
I hope your teacher will take you safely back to Chuwei.
What I'm really afraid of is that,
once the allied army breaks inside the fort,
maybe that's when we are really in danger.
Father.
Yu Er, are you feeling better?
I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.
You and Uncle Xie should go ahead and fight all you can.
I've got Ji Ye. He'll protect me.
No one will dare kill me.
Kill!
Kid, did you willingly put on this armor?
I will wear until Prefecture Princess Yu reaches safety.
Ok, I'm going to trust you.
Yu Er is in your care.
Kill!
The roar of lions,
that's a sound you only hear in chaotic times.
Kill!
Charge! Charge!
What an glorious battle that only occurs in a hundred years.
Kill!
For the sake that we are old acquaintances,
I'll let you off. So the likes of you
want to get my head?
In your dream!
- This is too easy. - It does seem suspicious.
Look, My Lord. It's Bai Yi's mountain formation.
Ji Ye, the Ye as in "wild".
Yes, sir.
We will be rushing straight ahead.
You take my daughter to break out from the side.
Can you do it?
Yes.
I know what you're trying to do. Father,
you can't just have me go by myself.
I'm not afraid of dying. What's the big deal about dying?
You want to die?
Not allowed. I'm not ready to die yet.
It's an order. Are you disobeying the order?
Stinky kid,
listen to me well!
Protect our Prefecture Princess well.
If she suffers any mishap,
I'll be the first one to get your head!
I know what I should do.
Okay!
Brothers!
Support this kid to protect our princess!
Yes!
We'll see each other later.
The mountain formation has finally appeared.
Don't worry. Just take care of yourself.
Kill!
When Thunder Calvary charges like this, it's to head to death.
Horses have an instinct for survival.
They become afraid when they see long spears and won't charge with full force.
Old method. Cover the horses' eyes.
Cover the horses' eyes!
Old Bai, do you see?
Brothers, you've followed me in battles these years.
We've never lost. But this time,
I can't promise that I can take all of you back to Li State.
Do you still want to follow behind my horse?
Yes! We will follow you to the end!
We'll form into teams.
Follow me!
