clear the table.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

Please eat out.

My dear...

I'm just a little late for dinner.

There's no need to make such a fuss.

Did I?

General Qi is entertaining at home.

We must not be rude.

Are you picking a fight?

Stop it!

We should go.

It's his fault.

I better leave.

Listen to me,

from now on, General Qi's business

is our business.

Women!

You must put her in her place.

Let her know who's in charge.

You must tell her.

Be tough.

Don't take it anymore.

Even a tiger

will fall asleep.

When she's asleep,

put a knife to her neck.

Wake her up and tell her

if she refuses to obey,

you'll kill her.

You must subjugate her.

Yes!

Hear, hear! Dacheng is right!

That's what we should do.

My dear...

What are you doing with the sword?

I want to kill a chicken for you as a tonic.

Your sword should not be used to kill a chicken.

Dacheng,

who invited my wife?

We know you couldn't do it.

We decided to do it for you.

Drop the cup as our signal,

we'll hold her at knife point.

You don't need to say anything.

We'll do the talking for you.

Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Here she comes...

Jiguang,

what's so urgent

that I must come over right away?

Madam Qi.

Serve tea.

Sister.

What's wrong?

You're all acting weird.

General Qi!

Your tea...

What's going on?

My dear,

I want you to watch our training

and give us some advice.

I don't know anything about that.

Just review the troops.

Review the troops.

Good idea!

I'll go get ready.

You heard him.

Review the troops.

Let's go.

Let's go.

General Qi set a good example.

Wait!

Don't write that down!

It's part of history.

What history? Tear that up!

Kohata's ronins already set out for Ninghai.

They have 3,134 men.

Regardless of how effective Qi's troops are,

there's no need for you to worry.

I heard he set strict criteria for his recruits.

No one from the big city or has been in office.

No one with fair complexion, no cowards.

Nobody too daring either.

Just imagine,

what kind of people would he end up with?

Fools!

He'll end up commanding fools.

At the battle of Cengang,

we have the ability to defeat them.

But Sensei won't let us engage them.

Had we done that back then,

we wouldn't have to worry about Qi today.

Are you criticizing me?

I don't understand.

We have 20,000 men.

If we attack Taizhou directly,

Qi will have to engage us

and we can defeat him.

Why split the Army three ways?

What's the use of attacking Ninghai

and Taizhou simultaneously?

To ensure a sure win.

Sending the ronins to Ninghai

will make Qi's troops travel one day to fight.

We take Taizhou

while they're engaged with the ronins.

What about Xinhe?

What's the point of attacking an empty barrack?

Qi and his troops' families are in Xinhe.

Between defending the land

and protecting their families,

how would they choose?

Whatever they choose to do,

it'll be a very interesting situation.

We'll wait for them to take the bait.

Pirates never brought more than 3,000 men.

But this time,

20,000 pirates

landed near Fenghua.

Jiguang,

your new Army only has 3,000 men.

How can you fight them?

Commander,

you are sending sheep to a tiger.

General Lu,

we're not sheep.

Don't get in over your head.

How much longer must we wait?

The longer we wait,

the longer our people will suffer.

We must stop the pirates' threat.

Does anyone else

have any counter measures?

Japanese soldiers congregated in Ninghai

but made no moves

because they want you to take the bait.

I'm willing to take the bait.

If I don't, they won't make a move.

The battle of Cengang tells us

they have military strategists among them.

It's probably the same group.

I suggest

troops in Taizhou and Xiangshan should lay low

to ensure the pirates can't take advantage

of our weak defense.

I'll take the lead with the new Army.

When we find out their real motive,

we'll let Commander Hu make a ruling.

This time,

we won't let them get away again.

Good!

Jiguang,

set out for Ninghai right away.

General Lu,

we'll take command of Taizhou.

The rest of the troops

will stay put and beef up defense

pending our new order.

Good idea, Commander!

Good idea!

Because you're not doing the fighting.

So be it.

I heard

the enemy has 20,000 men.

Don't worry!

Thank you.

20,000 men.

20,000 pirates.

Can we beat them?

Last time we outnumbered them 20,000 to 1,000

and the war dragged on for 6 months.

Just wait.

Don't they know they're on a suicide mission?

And they look so confident.

What did you say?

I'd like to see you take their place.

You're a bunch of cowards hanging out here.

Why don't you go to the frontline?

You have no right to criticize.

Chopsticks!

Cowards!

Father!

Slow down...

We have to leave.

Go...

Chief!

Are they sending us on a suicide mission?

Are you afraid to die?

How is this possible?

How formidable is the Ming Army?

We're their biggest threat.

But...

I'm more worried

when they get a glimpse of us,

they'll run with their tails between their legs.

Oh

I need women.

The thought of them makes me excited.

The Ming Army is coming!

Finish them off and I'll get a woman in Ninghai.

Absolutely!

If you want women and money,

go to Taizhou.

They have things that can satisfy us.

I need money.

Ask for our reward after this.

I want to go home.

Chief!

The Ming Army is up ahead.

They came here to die.

Go!

Come on, Chief...

act like a general.

General?

This is great!

Let's

Let's

Didn't they say 20,000 men?

Never mind that.

Tell the others to split up.

Watch out for ambush.

Aye!

Listen up!

Split up the formation.

Wait!

Rifles!

Rifles!

Fire!

Charge!

Stop!

Block!

Spears!

Drag them away!

Three-eyed hand cannons!

Get down!

Fire!

What's going on?

Fall back!

Back up...

"Over 300 pirates died

while only a few Ming soldiers were injured."

Jiguang!

A message from Commander Hu.

Japanese soldiers in Xinhe!

Dacheng!

Japanese soldiers attacked our homes.

What did you say?

Japanese soldiers attacked our homes.

What should we do?

General Qi,

the pirates went after Xinhe.

Let's hurry back.

That's right! Let's go!

Let's go back!

Don't let them fool you.

You think they came all this way

to take Xinhe?

Xinhe

is where our families are.

Yes, our families are there.

Come over here...

Look!

Take a look,

Ningha...

Xinhe...

Why?

To cover up their real target.

Taizhou.

Taizhou is the provincial capital.

To the pirates,

it's worth a lot more.

Jiguang,

your wife is there.

She's precisely the reason I'm not worried.

Only 200 men are stationed in Xinhe.

That's not enough.

That's quite enough.

Don't forget,

my wife is invincible.

How about...

Lou Nan!

Take half the troops with you back to Xinhe.

Then meet us in Taizhou.

Dacheng,

we should protect our homes and defend our state.

But without a home, who cares about the state?

Shut up!

If General Qi is not worried,

why should you be?

Go!

Get ready to leave.
