Qin Dynasty Epic

Episode 77

Top General of Qin, Wang Jian

General of Qin, Meng Tian

When I was five years old,

I was already able
to throw a stone well.

Look at you guys.

Pass me a stone.

Look carefully!

Anyone who throws it 50 paces

will be awarded a pot of wine.

Anyone who throws it 80 paces

will be given a chance to dine with me.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Your turn.

Let me try.

Give me one.

I want one, too.

Here.

Here.

The first one who climbs to the top

will be awarded a pot of wine.

Bravo!

Hurry.

Top General.

Top General,
all soldiers have gathered.

The Qin army

has been confronted
with the Chu army for over a year.

It has cost the state of Chu so much.

Its granary must be nearly empty.

They won't last long.

Xiang Yan

doesn't give up

perhaps for two reasons.

One is

they may get support
from the state of Qi.

The other is

they'll get army provisions
after the harvest.

Let's start the w*r tomorrow

to shatter all their hopes.

Yes, General!

Spear Battalion in position!

Bow and Crossbow Battalion in position!

Slingers in position!

Chariot Battalion in position!

Wang

Chu

General of Chu, Xiang Yan

Prince of Chu, Jing Han

Wang

The Chu army is well-disciplined

and morale among them is very high.

Xiang Yan is not easy to deal with.

General,

our troops have trained for long

and everything has been arranged.

Our momentum is
even stronger than theirs.

I'd like to see what's more powerful,

the spears of the Qin army

or the shields of the Chu army.

Attack!

The vanguard attacks!

Wang Jian has been
waiting for this for a year.

Their attack is impressive.

General, please give an order!

Has everything been done as I said?

General,


all through the night

and got it prepared.

Take my order!

The vanguard attacks!

sh**t!

General.

Our archers
can sh**t enemies at 100 paces,



Archers of Qin
can sh**t people at 200 paces.

Pull!

sh**t!

Keep your formation!
sh**t bows and crossbows!

Yes, General!

-sh**t bows and crossbows!
-sh**t bows and crossbows!

Chu

General,

the infantry and chariots
of Chu are cooperating closely.

Xiang Yan has made full use of

the past year.

Xiang Yan

is a strong opponent indeed.

When they launch an attack,

they'll become weak in defense.

Take my order!

Launch a counterattack immediately

after we destroy their attack.

Yes, General!

Get catapults ready!

sh**t!

Formation change!

Take my order!

The vanguard attacks!

Attack!

Attack!

Slingers, get ready!

Get half of our army

to counterattack!

Attack!

Throw!

Gather!

Go!

All retreat!

General,

I didn't expect Xiang Yan
can even do that.

What should we do?

Beat the gong and recall troops!

Yes, General!

Withdraw!

Chenying, Qin

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Rise.

How is it going with Qi?

Your Majesty,

the state of Chu keeps asking Qi

to send out troops.

And many officials of Qi

Chief Minister of Qin, Yao Gu
agree to help Chu.

King of Qin, Zheng

Only the states of Qi and Chu are left.

I have nothing to worry

Qin's Minister of Justice, Li Si
about the state of Chu,

because I'm sure Top General

can defeat the Chu army at one stroke.

But the state of Qi

hasn't been at w*r with
any other state for dozens of years.

I've got no idea about
its military strength.

If the two states ally
with each other...

Your Majesty,

I'm willing to go to Linzi
and try to persuade King of Qi.

If Chu is conquered,

it'll be hard for Qi to survive.

Minister of Justice,
I'm afraid going to Qi

will be a fruitless attempt.

Chief Minister,

diplomatic relations are unpredictable.

Zhang Yi once got the Hexi region
for the great Qin

just owing to his eloquence.

Who would have expected that?

It makes sense.

Now that you said so,

you must've got a good idea.

Your Majesty, under your order,

I've presented two cities

to Hou Sheng, Prime Minister of Qi.

That may give you a leg up.

Thank you, Chief Minister.

Your Majesty,
I hope you can approve it.

Approved.

Linzi, Capital of Qi

Has the rumor spread?

It's well-known to all

that Prime Minister of Qi

got two cities from King of Qin.

Qin's Minister of Justice asked me

to give this letter
to Prime Minister of Qi.

Prime Minister of Qi, Hou Sheng

Your Majesty,
the Chu army led by Xiang Yan

and the Qin army led by
Wang Jian are at w*r in Pingyu.

How is the situation
on the b*ttlefield?

Over 100,000 casualties
were inflicted on the Chu army.

Despite being defeated,

the Chu army put themselves in battle
array against the Qin army

after retreating 30 miles.

Prince of Qi, Tian Chong
If the Qi army had arrived in time,

the Chu army

King of Qi, Jian
might not have lost.

Uh, it took some time

to make preparations

if 200,000 troops
were going out to battle.

Prime Minister,
you delayed it on purpose

because King of Qin bribed you

with two cities, didn't you?

Are you telling the truth?

Your Majesty,

the whole Linzi city
was shocked to know

how generous King of Qin was.

Your Majesty, if you don't believe,

you can go around the city
and check it out.

Those are floating rumors.

You're slandering me.

It's outrageous!

Your Majesty,

there used to be
the six nations of Shandong.

Now only the states of Qi
and Chu are left.

If Chu is conquered by Qin,

King of Qin will treat us Qi people

like trash.

Your Majesty,

please don't hesitate anymore

and send troops to Pingyu at once!

Prime Minister,

send out troops right now
and no delay is allowed.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Chenying, Qin

Your Majesty.

You were in such a hurry.

You've got some good news

for me?

I'm sorry.

Qi still chose to send out
troops to help Chu.

Tell me.

Why did you insist
on going to Qi at that time?

Your Majesty, you know me so well.

I've found out information

about Qi's military strength
and army provisions.

You know me well, too.

Please go ahead.



That's all Qi has got.

If all their troops go out to battle,

their army provisions

can last no more than two years.

Qi hasn't fought with any state

for dozens of years,

but unexpectedly, their armed forces
haven't been expanded

and their grain stock
is not enough, either.

The Qi people prefer making money.

They've been getting along
with us over the years

and focusing on doing business.

Besides, the state of Qi
has not so much fertile land.

I'm afraid

that's all their troops
and army provisions.

In this case,

after we conquer Chu,

we'll conquer Qi

without much effort.

Qi is no longer what it used to be.

Without great talents

like Guan Zhong and Sun Bin,

or wise monarchs like King Xuan of Qi,

the state of Qi
will perish sooner or later.

Do you have any good idea

which can help us

conquer Qi without battle

after we destroy Chu?

You're concerned about the masses.

I'll try my best to make that happen.

Now we'll just wait to see

how General Wang Jian
has all the Chu army annihilated.

A good general

shall not be restrained

by climatic
and geographical conditions

or any people.

The w*r is at the critical moment.

As to whether we should offend or defend,

advance or retreat,

it's all up to you, Top General.

Never let down

Heaven or the state of Qin.

Everyone,

His Majesty

leaves the destiny of Qin

in our hands.

What should we do to repay his trust?

Top General,

His Majesty

has given full support to us.

We swear we'll never go back

unless we conquer Chu.

We swear to destroy Chu.

As to how to conquer Chu,

let's brainstorm.

Top General,

the Chu army
is suffering from low morale.

We can send out a squad

to cut off their food supply
and further shake their morale.

Top General,

I think...

Instead of sieging the city,

psychological offense
is the best tactic.

To defeat the Chu army,

we must shake their morale first.

It's going to be the harvest time,

but nobody will gather in the rice

this year again.

It's been over a year.

I wonder if my family

still have enough food.

When will the w*r end?

What are you doing here?

General.

Leaving your post without permission,

aren't you afraid of being punished?

General, we miss our family.

These are the Qin army's tricks.

General, we're listening to the tunes

just to deal with homesickness.

Yeah. General.

Nothing is wrong with us
listening to the tunes, right?

-Yeah. We're just listening.
-You...

How dare you disobey my order?
Take them down!

Yes, General.

General.

Take them away.

General.

You spread rumors

and deserve to be severely punished.

All of you,

keep your eyes wide open
and look carefully.

Anyone who dares
to shake the army's morale

will end up like this.

Officers and soldiers,

the ferocious Qin army has been

coveting our country.

How will we protect

our homeland,

our women and children?

We have to

take up weapons in our hands

and fight to the end!

As troops of Chu,

we should never allow the Qin army

to step into our territory

even if we have to die fighting
on the b*ttlefield.

Beat harder. Harder!

Didn't you have dinner? Harder!

A sneak attack from the Qin army!

Emergency! General, the Qin army
launched a sneak attack.

The left-hand defense works

are destroyed.

Ask all soldiers to hang in there.

If our camp base is destroyed,

it will cause total destruction.

Go!

Chu

Chu

General.

How many troops have we still got?

After searching carefully,

we've got 100,000 soldiers left.

With these soldiers,
we can go back to capital

and keep His Majesty

and the royal family safe.

Gather all troops
and we'll go to Chenying.

General.

We'll force Wang Jian to come back
to Chenying to save King of Qin

and we'll defeat them on their way.

Yes, General.

Chenying, Qin

Mi Qi

Your Majesty.

Top General

plans to lead
the whole army to Chenying

to defeat the Chu army.

I'd like to stand here

to see how Mi Qi and Xiang Yan

will conquer Chenying.

Your Majesty, do you mean...

Yes.

Tell Wang Jian and Meng Tian

to attack capital of Chu
and capture King of Chu.

They're not allowed
to come back until it's done.

Yes, Your Majesty.

General,

we've been stationed outside Chenying

for over a month.

When will Wang Jian come back
to save King of Qin?

King of Qin may be
trying to distract us

by luring us to Chenying.

Lord Changping,

will King of Qin
really ignore his own safety?

You don't know him well.

There is nothing in the world

King of Qin doesn't dare to do.

Let's siege the city tomorrow.

I'd like to see

what King of Qin can do by then.

Chenying

Your Majesty,

the Chu army was defeated
by Top General,

but their morale isn't sinking lower.

Xiang Yan is really good
at directing troops.

Xiang Yan is determined
to fight to the end.

I'm afraid there will be
a fierce battle here.

I hope you can keep away.

Do you mean

I'm a burden to you?

That's not what I mean.

Mi Qi is at the city gate, right?

Yes. Lord Changping must be

among the Chu army.

Get my bow and arrow.

What does King of Qin mean?

It's miserable
to get yourself in danger.

You still have time

to return from the lost way.

The city is being besieged by us,

but King of Qin is trying
to lure me into surrender.

He's threatening in manner,

but actually he's showing weakness.

Take my order!

Attack the city now!

Emergency!

General, there's something urgent!

General.

Wang Jian conquered our capital

and His Majesty surrendered.

In this case,

we have to retreat to Guangling

and wait for a chance
to make a comeback.

Prime Minister.

His Majesty ordered the army

to go back and protect Linzi.

Prime Minister.

Are you faking an imperial order?

Prince Chong,

how dare I do that?

I'll repeat it.

The army goes back to the capital!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I was deluded by the Qin people.

I'm filled with remorse.

I'm willing to receive punishment.

You didn't do that on purpose.

What's the point
of looking into it now?

Come on, Prime Minister.

Have you got any
detailed news about Chu?

Wang Jian and Meng Tian
conquered Ying, capital of Chu

and captured Fu Chu, King of Chu.

The Chu army led by Xiang Yan
retreated to Guangling,

waiting for a chance to rebuild Chu.

Where is King of Qin?

He's gone back to Xianyang.

After fighting
and defeating the Chu army,

the Qin army must've
suffered lots of casualties, too.

Maybe, King of Qin

hasn't got prepared for attacking Qi.

Your Majesty,
we can never let down guard.

What should we do?

Strengthen defense works and break off
diplomatic relations with Qin.

Your Majesty,
we must show King of Qin that

everyone in the state of Qi
is alert and ready

at all times to destroy enemies.

Prime Minister, what do you say?

What Prince Chong said

is a sound strategy
to fight against Qin.

As long as we're united as one,

we'll have nothing to worry about

when the Qin army launches an attack.

Okay. Good!

I'm much relieved.

I'm much relieved.

Guangling, Chu

Mi Qi,

a descendant of King Kaolie of Chu,

and a member of the Mi family,

is elected as the new King
by the Chu people

to rejuvenate the state of Chu

and get rid of enemies.

Emergency!

Your Majesty! General!

An army led by Wang Jian
is attacking the city.

Huh? What to do?

What should we do?

Guangling

In 223 BC,

the 24th year under the reign
of King of Qin, Zheng,

Wang Jian completely
defeated Xiang Yan

and the state of Chu perished.

The Qin army led by Wang Jian
crossed the Yangtse River.

South of the Yangtse River
was conquered

and Kuaiji Commandery
was established there.

Linzi, Capital of Qi

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

What's the state of Qin up to?

Your Majesty,

King of Qin ordered Wang Ben and Li Xin

to go out for battle
with 200,000 soldiers.

They're coming, anyway.

Your Majesty,

the Qin army is going to the north

to attack Yan and Dai.

That's a relief.

Your Majesty,

the Qin army

aims to conquer Yan and Dai this time,

but obviously,

their ultimate goal is the whole world.

We have to guard against them.

Gaotang is of vital importance

now that Qin has to
pass through it to come to Linzi.

Your Majesty, it's better
to station an army there

and block the city gates.

Then the Qin army
may have to think twice

before proceeding eastward.

How many soldiers should be sent there?

Only with 300,000 soldiers
stationed in Gaotang

can we shock and awe Qin.

With 200,000 soldiers
stationed in Linzi,

you and the whole royal family
will be safe and sound.

Approved.

Prime Minister,

can our 300,000 soldiers

really stop

the beastly Qin army?

Your Majesty, I think it should work.

Your Majesty,

I want to go to Xianyang

to ascertain the strength of Qin.

By knowing ourselves
and our adversaries,

you'll always win a battle.

I stayed up all night.

The destiny of Qi will depend on you,

Prime Minister and Prince Chong.

We'll do our best.

You can leave.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Prince Chong, hold on.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Come here.

When you arrive at Xianyang,

you must observe
the speech and behavior of

the Qin people and King of Qin.

Your Majesty,

we have 500,000 soldiers

ready at all times.

King of Qin doesn't dare to despise us.

If King of Qin intends to make peace,

I'll consider it.

I'm not showing the white feather!

I just don't want my people

to be plunged into an abyss of misery.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Zhangtai Palace, Xianyang, Qin

Top General swept across
the Wuyue region.

Wang Ben and Li Xin conquered Liaodong.

Only the state of Qi survived by luck.

Your Majesty,
did you order me to come back

to get prepared for attacking Qi?

The main force of the Qi army
is stationed in Gaotang.

If they're wiped out,

we're sure to conquer Linzi.

Gaotang is one
of the five key positions of Qi.

Its walls stand solid and firm.

I don't want to take it by storm.

The lives of our brave soldiers

shouldn't be sacrificed for nothing.

We can follow the example
of Top General defeating Chu.

We stand opposing the Qi army at first

and then defeat them at one stroke

when they get slack.
