Listen up...

get some rest!

Beware of an attack in the rain at night.

Be vigilant!

Did you hear me?

What a pain!

Very well!

What are you afraid of?

Here...

Relax! I didn't lay a hand on her!

I'm a samurai,

unlike the lot of you.

Drink up, Kohata!

They're asleep.

Excellent

Tell General Yu to meet me in the mountain

when he hears the cannon.

Wake up the troops, we're moving out.

Keep it down!

What's going on?

Pull...

A raid! We've been attacked!

Charge!

We're in trouble!

Run!

Charge!

Follow me!

I'm not going!

After them!

Unit 1, charge!

Let's move out!

Sir!

The Ming Army broke through our line of defense.

Already?

That general is formidable indeed.

SenseL

let's go give them a hand.

They're at the front gate.

We can't hold them back.

We won't let them beat us.

The Ming Dynasty is like an elephant;

you can't take it head on.

I want a win, not a tie.

But not a win at the expense of casualties.

We should retreat.

Are you sure?

Who's willing to bring up the rear?

Me, of course!

Thank you!

Yes!

Let's pack up and go!

Aye!

Go!

Retreat!

Come on!

Master Yamagawa,

can you give me a hand?

My pleasure.

Retreat!

This way!

You must leave.

We must go even if you don't want to.

General Yu!

Please come in.

Impressive!

I'm impressed!

Lou Nan!

General!

What is it?

The pirates are gone.

They left behind scraps of silver.

The soldiers are busy picking them up.

Jiguang, this villager wants to see you.

General...

Please get UP!

Other villagers are still locked up.

Please rescue them quickly, General.

Take me there!

Over here!

Jiguang!

General Qi is hereto save us.

Come out, all of you!

General Qi is hereto save us.

Come out!

Thank you, General Qi!

Please get UP!

Grab Qi!

Kill!

Let's

Let's

Get down!

Ready!

Fire!

Jiguang!

Get them out! Hurry!

Jiguang!

Help them...

Jiguang!

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Help them...

Help them...

Among the pirates,

majority of them were Han Chinese

dispossessed by the sea ban

and sought refuge with Wang Zhi.

You're saying they are not Japanese?

They include Japanese ronins.

But those with genuine combat prowess

are well equipped Japanese soldiers.

Japanese soldiers?

That's who we're dealing with.

They're rare.

General, Commander Hu is here.

Again?

Congratulations,

Commander Hu brought the best yellow wine

to celebrate with you.

Why did you bring the

Imperial Secret Service with you?

Luo Jiabin and his lot intend to impeach you

for letting the pirates get away.

They said you colluded with them.

I did not!

I know.

I already reported your victory.

But before my report reaches the Court,

you are to stay home

pending your sentence.

General Yu,

I'm sorry!

No problem!

I will do my best to intercede.

Don't just arrest General Yu.

Put me under arrest as well.

I have my orders.

General Yu failed his expedition

and allowed the pirates to flee to the South.

The Imperial Secret Service

will take him into custody.

Pardon us, General! This way.

I understand.

General Yu...

I'll be fine.

It wasn't my decision to make.

This is so unfair.

You should quit.

Tiny house, small salary...

Who cares?

Hu Zongxian is notorious.

Working for him,

win or lose, you're doomed.

This is just my humble opinion.

Whether or not you want to listen,

it's up to you.

You make perfect sense.

But the enemy is at the gate,

I can't just walk away.

It's a state matter;

you can't do this alone.

I thought you're depressed.

Why this disorderly behavior?

What do you mean?

Sexual intercourse between husband and wife

is the most natural and proper thing to do.

Don't throw the book in my face again.

I wouldn't dare.

Of course you would.

You're invincible.

You're the invincible one.

Our shields are not tough enough.

We'll think of something.

This is Mao Haifeng's sword.

Here...

You can use this.

Absolutely not!

A Ming general using a Japanese sword

is bad for morale.

No doubt this is a good sword.

I'm surprised it's such a trenchant sword.

I think it's made differently from ours.

Jimei!

Study it carefully,

and find out how it's forged.

Sure!

General!

General Qi!

Commander Hu just received Court documents

about your victory at Cengang.

You have been reinstated.

Good!

What about General Yu?

There has been no word.

Come!

General Yu!

General Yu!

General Qi! General Lu!

I'm glad you're here.

This is General Qi Jiguang,

who commanded the decisive victory at Cengang.

We have heard so much about you.

Enjoy!

You have been reinstated.

What are you worried about?

I didn't expect

you'd be so relaxed in jail.

Over the years,

have you any idea

how many men were lost in battle?

I'm just waiting for my sentence.

I can still practice with my men.

What's there to complain about?

You have fought the pirates for years

and earned great merit.

Don't you feel aggrieved?

Yes, I fought pirates for years.

Have they been wiped out?

I feel ashamed.

I have no right to feel aggrieved.

We shed our blood on the frontline

while those fatuous officials badmouth us

behind our backs,

and try to pin the blame on you.

You don't find that unsettling?

You mean Commander Hu?

It hasn't been easy for him.

Commander Hu and Xu Wei

did their best to cover up for me.

Or else I would have been

beheaded like Zhang Jing.

Hu Zongxian colluded

with Yan Song's godson Zhao Wenhua

and did their bidding.

He replaced Commander Zhang Jing

and had him executed.

None of that is true?

If Commander Hu didn't kiss up to Zhao Wenhua,

you and I are probably dead by now.

Where do you think the army provisions came from?

We'd never get the chance to fight pirates.

He bargained for a thankless job

that could have him beheaded even if he had won.

Why should he bother?

Commander Hu saved my life.

I have no complaints.

As a martial artist,

I'm satisfied as long as

I have a clear conscience.

I'm also pleased

that you will now take over this burden.

Here... have a drink with me.

Commander Hu will get me out.

Brother Yu,

can I ask you something?

What?

I was told your skill with the staff

is outstanding in Shaolin

and unmatched in the world.

I had a glimpse of it

last time in Cengang,

I'd like to take another look.

Very well!

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

An inch shorter, an inch deadlier.

Again!

General Qi! General Lu!

General Qi!

General Lu! General Qi!

Stay where you are.

I heard you were going on an inspection tour.

Commander Hu sent me to assist you.

I have so much to learn from you.

So much indeed.

Learn from us? You're here to spy on us.

No---...

Because I can read and write,

Commander Hu wanted me to assist General Qi.

Thank you.

Let's

Sit tight, General.

We can go now.

Sister!

Excellent

Wait up...

Wait up!

Hey...

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You'll be gone for several days.

Naturally you don't want to bring me along.

Says who?

Who says I'm not bringing you?

Then where's my horse?

We're getting it ready.
