The Warlords

---

He said,

that the day he climbed from

out of the mountain of bodies,

he was already dead

All my men are dead

I am the only one left

That is because you have a good life

I pretended to be dead

My men, over 1600 strong

Fought for 3 days and nights

All gone

The Kui Army bastards just stood the rear and watched.

Watching my men die one by one

All dead ...

He said, he met a woman that day

and spent a night in an abandoned run-down house

He wasn't sure if it was the bowl of gruel, or the woman

that made him feel

that he was still alive

Where can I get some rice to eat?

Go wait in front of the old house on the main street

He said

That on the first day he met me

The sky was ashen, just like his mood

But I remember vividly, that it was a clear day

Glaring to the eye

After you've eaten, come and work to repay your lives

After you've eaten, come and work

Food!

Come, eat!

You fight well ... follow me!

I'll bring you to see big brother!

What work is it?

Robbery!

Steal army provisions!

He later said, that we were foolishly brave

to dare to steal from troops

I replied, that there was no food within a 100 mile radius

When you're about to die from starvation,

I doesn't matter who's provisions they are

Charge out!

Kill!

Quick! Kill the leader!

That day, not only did he save me

He also taught me

[?] When beating a snake, you must beat it 7 inches,

To catch a thief, you must first catch the king

Brother WuYang

Look

It was from 'that' person

That's what Generals wear

Brother WuYang is a General

Brother WuYang is a General

What are you thinking about?

My home

They're back ...

Don't be impatient, come, we have food!

Tonight we're going to have a feast!

Why are you alone?

I ran away from home

By your accent, you are from YangZhou?

You picked up on it?

How did you pick that I had a YangZhou accent?

Have you heard of the YangZhou market?

Thats where they pick out the prettiest girls,

teach them the arts

And after they've grown up,

sell them to rich men as wives, right?

But ...

When I was 15

and about to be sold

A childhood friend

stole me back

He even killed someone

and took me to hide

in the mountains as a felon.

He didn't realize that you'd changed,

and thought that he was saving you

He is a good person

Rest in peace!

Rest in peace!

Big Brother's rules

Leave an empty place at the table

with a full cup, to honor the dead.

Were you a commander in the army?

It's in the past now

Why did you leave?

Come, drink!

We were Imperial troops,

and had agreed to join up to eliminate the enemy

The Kui Army promised but did not deliver

And we could not suppress the enemy

So all of my men died

The world is big, but not bigger

than the bond between brothers-in-arms

Right?

Without comrades

Life is not worth living

WuYang

Time to eat

Will the new people in the village, stay?

With rice to eat, who will leave?

Yes, there's one named Pang,

who is quite impressive

Whether he will leave, I do not know

Doesn't it look nice?

I got it from a body

Do you know what this is?

No idea

A protection charm

Was that night real?

I stayed there waiting

I thought it was but a dream

If you'd already run away,

why did you come back?

I've run away many times

It seems a good idea,

but each time I come back

Why do you come back?

One's fate should be decided by oneself

Hide here

... why are you taking our food

You want to hit me with your rod?

-Hit me! Hit me!

-Don't move! Don't move!

Stop!

How old are you? You'd hit a grandmother?

Don't move, I'll shoot! People will die!

I'm not afraid of you

I'm serious, I'll shoot. I'm serious ...

I'm not afraid! You kill me!

You

Nobody move

Why aren't you looking at me?

Did you think that by raiding our supply cart,

the provisions would be all yours?

I'm giving you a chance today

[?] report yourselves to the imperial government

Leave!

If we only had guns, we'd fight them

It'd still be suicide

Living like this, I'd rather die

Being a bandit is a dog's life; always on the run

Why don't we join the army?

In the army, we'd get paid

With the money we can buy food for our families

In the army we'd have weapons.

With weapons, no-one would dare attack us.

The village would have true peace

We are bandits

Would the government accept us?

The Kui Army is a big military power

They won't even bother with our little band

But ChenGong needs manpower

His Lu Army is constantly being harassed by the Kui Army

And he wants to be a major military power

If we side with him, it would be perfect timing

ErHu, grasp this opportunity

And let today's events, never happen again

Fine

Bandits

We have to be the best!

In the past you were a Qing soldier

Now you want us to join the army?

You have no loyalty

Why should we trust you?

Swear a blood oath

Today, Pang ChingYun

Cao ErHu

Jiang WuYang

Swear an oath, to be blood brothers

[?] In each other we entrust, to save from danger

[?] Together in prosperity or difficulty

[?] If an outsider disrupts our brotherhood

[?] By our oath, they must die

[?] If a brother disrupts our brotherhood

[?] By our oath, they must die

[?] With the heaven and earth as our witness

[?]

[?] Together in one heart

He later told me,

He didn't believe in blood oaths

I asked what he did believe in

He said that he believed in Brother ErHu

and me

Wait, take these shoes

Be careful on the road

Mother won't be able to see you again

Mum, I'm leaving

Brother ErHu

Shi JiMiao has taken a group of men

He only said one thing

That he'd rather die than join the army

I heard

You led a battalion of men to suppress the enemy in HeChuan

But they all perished

You disappeared for 2 months, and you have the audacity to return?

Lord Chen

At the battle of HeChuan

Lord Jiang sent the Kui Army to guard my left wing

He Kui, fearing the enemy, retreated 30 Li

This is how my battalion of men all died

The whole army perished

And you were the only survivor?

I didn't die

So that I could come back to see you, Lord Jiang

How many men do you have?

Eight Hundred

Give me another 800

And within 15 days, I will take SongCheng

A soldier should not tell lies

I will take SongCheng in 10 days

Fine

I ...

I will give you another 1500 soldiers

But there will be no pay

That's not necessary

After I take the city, I want half of everything

Pang ChingYun

Your banner is [Deer Mountain]

Well call them the Mountain Army then

Thank you, my lords

You're taking a gamble

With the lives of 800 men

War has always been a gamble

I won't gamble

These 1500 soldiers are ChenGong's foundation

If they go

ChenGong will lose all power in the Imperial court

So when will you make your move?

My soldiers

Will only serve to make your force look more threatening

This is your only chance for victory

Otherwise

The Kui Army will forever have you under their feet

Big Brother

They're all faulty

Over there are 200 guns

It will be a difficult battle

There is only one way to win
