The Warlords Page #3
You two should leave
Give me provisions, and I'll take down SuZhou
My men can only die from battle, not from starvation
I'm begging you!
The Lord has already said, he knows nothing about any fighting in SuZhou
We'll go to the Kui Army
Big Brother, we can't ask them!
If you can't do it, then go back
Quick, run!
Quick
Come, grab hold
And said that there was food inside
No, I've got to go in
Give me provisions, and firearms
We'll make an exchange
If I don't give you, SuZhou is still mine
I'm talking about
Nanjing
I'll fight the battle, charge the city, take the casualties
The Kui Army just needs to be there for appearances sake
Nanjing, we'll split half-and-half
And we'll join hands into the city
Are you willing to be under the feet of those 3 old men forever?
We need to take down Nanjing first
So the Imperial court knows it had nothing to do with He Kui
But we only have 10 days food left
So we must be fast
to take down SuZhou
God is kind
To bring you here at this time
It's for protection
At the 'Mou' hour
If you don't see red smoke from the city walls
My men will take you away
Tell Big Brother and WuYang that,
ErHu was a good man
The General is back
General Pang, the provisions have arrived
General ErHu has entered the city
Said he saw red smoke in his dreams
Which represented his success
Friend, did you bring what they want?
Everyone says that there's food in the city
If this continues, we'll be eating each other
I promised them that they'd eat well and dress warm
And in 3 years return home to enjoy their riches
It's 5 years now
Tomorrow, we charge the city
Elder brother's wife
I like to see people's faces
SuZhou is surrounded
It's been a year since I've seen a new face
So when I heard that a new person was delivering opium ...
I've already quit
It can only relieve pain
My wife's grave is in a small forest just outside the city
I want to go see her
But I can't
Do you know how a prisoner feels?
SuZhou city is like a big prison. It's been too long already
I want to leave, but I can't
You want to enter, but you can't
Except if ...
I let you in
Your fellow villager
You joined the army; he followed me
Quick
Sir, the time has come
Prepare my horse
Escort Mrs. Zhao
ErHu left a message
Said that he was a good man
If I survive
I'll marry you
Outside there are 4000 half-starved soldiers
If you kill me
SuZhou will turn into a ghost town
Everyone will die
I also have that many soldiers
They will defend every inch of SuZhou
Until their last drop of blood
Everyone back
Throw down your weapons
Surrender
I sold my business
Closed my shop
From that day
the word 'surrender'
disappeared forever
If I don't die
Everyone in this SuZhou prison
will never get out
Let the troops go home to their farms
Do not abuse the commoners in the city
Rest in peace
Ready
ErHu! ErHu!
Get ErHu
I want to see ErHu
ManTou (bread)
Do we really have to give it to them?
They won't agree
So many captives, how many mouths
How many army provisions do you want to waste on them?
Big Brother
Sparing their lives was a condition of surrender
The stores in SuZhou were gone long ago
Our provisions will only last 10 days
We need to save it to fight Nanjing
Fight Nanjing?
Big Brother, fight Nanjing?
The Kui Army gathers its forces
And can attack Nanjing at anytime
I can't read, don't give it to me
Tell me, where did the food come from?
Where?
The Kui Army
Why did you deal with them?
[?]
If we fight Nanjing, SuZhou city becomes an empty city
Do you feel comfortable handing them an empty city?
Big Brother, listen to me ...
You listen to me!
If these people pick up a gun, they become soldiers
ManTou! ManTou!
Open the gates!
Let them go
No!
Pang ChingYun, I knew that you were a liar
Imperial dog!
Look at this ManTou
It was originally for our men
You want to give half to these people
And another half to the citizens
Our men laid siege the city for 9 months
Starved for 9 months
Tell me, this ManTou ...
Should it be for us, or them?
I don't care
Release them
Release! Release!
In a while
After they've eaten
I promised that they would live
All's fair in war. This is a war
Without trust we are animals
Brother Er
Big Brother is right
Move
Get out of my way
Let go of me ... let go ...
Let me go! I promised they would live!
Ready the arrows
Quiet
You can't kill them!
Release again!
You can't kill them! You can't!
Release again
After that day
Brother Er never spoke to me again
I felt bad, but
I had no regrets
I'm returning home
Who's with me?
ErHu
You can't go
We still need to go fight Nanjing
You want me to watch you kill more unarmed men?
They were soldiers
Who had surrendered
They're still soldiers
Do you remember what you told us before?
You told us to remember, not to threaten the common people
What have you done?
You stood there and killed all those poor people, do you know?
Without poor people, who would fight wars?
Xiao Chun, Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi. Who wasn't poor?
But they were soldiers
And soldiers die
But in Nanjing, there are over 1 million citizens
If He Kui enters first, then it's all over
To fight Nanjing, I need you
Do not go
If you leave, the soldiers will change
The Mountain army will start fighting itself
Do you know the result?
Do not force me
Whoever makes a move of Brother Er, I will kill
Brother Er
Whatever happens, you can't leave
If you leave, our family will really be finished
ErHu
Kui's troops are already on the move
If we don't move now, we won't make it
I guarantee to you
After Nanjing
I will put down my arms
You will see, in the future,
that my decision today was the right one
Fine
When we enter Nanjing, I'll be watching you
If you're right, I'll kneel before you
If you're wrong
I will kill you
Go!
Cao ErHu
Pang ChingYun
Jiang WuYang
Kill ....
Fireworks fill the sky, Nanjing falls,
The cannons fire a salute, the Empress prospers
[Nanjing - 1 month after takeover]
Rest in peace!
We swore
that we are all men of the Mountain army
If anywhere in the world, someone is starving or being threatened
Someone is suffering from injustice
The Mountain Army will be there!
Distribute the military pay!
Zhang WenFang 5 pieces ... Wang XiaoSan ...
ErHu, do you know what you are doing?
Privately distributing military funds is a serious offence!
After we entered Nanjing, half was promised as military funds
If you won't distribute it, I will help you
You must remember
In the army there is only one commander
This commander is General Pang
Hurry up and thank him
Thank you Lord Pang
Again
Thank you Lord Pang! Thank you Lord Pang!
Continue the distribution
Wang XiaoSan, 3 pieces, Wang Lao, 4 pieces
Lord He
To fight Nanjing, you gave him provisions
After entering Nanjing, now you're the beggar
