บท 6: Ch 5
As the Qin and Zhao make a alliance so they can focus on their respective battles and concerns without battling each other. Qin sets out for a campaign in order to capture the city of Sanyou of Wei.
The Sanyou Campaign was lead by Great General Jake aka me his time around Mou Gou acting as my second in command, my purpose was to capture the Sanyou Region of Wei. When we the Qin army arrived in the place some of the most important battle field were outside of Sanyou (jap.), San Yang (chin.). Rui Plains (jap.), Liu Yin (chin.) outside of Sanyou city. (I will be calling the troops of Qin my troops for his battle)
As we Invasion, we had a huge army of 250,000, with the intention of subjugating the entire area and turning it into a county of Qin. As in the show I used Mou Gou planned, split the my forces into three armies and invaded Wei with all three maintaining the same pace.
Kourou City Siege
When the main army approached the first city Kourou, I reorganizing my troops as Mou Gou did in the story but with little differently here and there . My troops were divided into four armies; one to attack each of the city's four walls and one of the four walls was about to turn into a challenge for my troops as I was leading a attack on one of the four walls . I had my four armies accompanied by another four reserve armies. The reserves were to serve as reinforcements that could adapt to the changing battlefield and be counted on to perform the most crucial of tasks.
My army of 75,000 begun the siege of Kourou city. Three days in and we were having trouble broking in and the enemy was holding strong against our troop. On the four day my troops broke through eastern wall and start putting pressure on the enemy's , I know that the Eastern Wall Commander, General Fuu Haku was had placed archers behind the wall and they were ready to unleashed a barrage of arrows on the my forces so I had one of my units kill all the vulnerable archers before General Fuu Haku understand anything . Few days my troop were losing morale so I had to work harder to keep everyone in control and in the end I was not allowed to enter the battle forcing my troops and others to continued alone which lead to a talemate for several days.
On the 11th day of the siege, the Gyoku Hou Unit made their gambit like in the show with my support . They began by having horses pull carts, which were full of leaves and branches to the base of the wall and used fire arrows to set them alight. Thus, a huge smokescreen was created, blinding the Wei soldiers. Using the confusion brought about by the smokescreen, the Gyoku Hou Unit managed to latch a siege tower onto the wall.
Ou Hon, using his flawless spear techniques and the rest of the Gyoku Hou Unit quickly overwhelmed the defenders and forced them back, inch by inch. However, the Wei general attempted to make up for the Gyoku Hou Unit's superior ability with the sheer weight of numbers but I had ordered reinforcement to be sent. Ou Hon expected this and ordered his men to set up a defensive perimeter waiting for the reinforcements and enemy, while 8 of his men abseiled down the inside of the wall, thus opening it from the inside.
I took advantage of it by swiftly charging with my army through the opened gate cutting many Wei troops into half's. The attack was so swift that the Wei soldiers had no time to respond before the Gaku Ka Unit efforts had led to the captured of the city.
The victorious Qin soldiers began trying to commit atrocity but I had killed some for example like the one group who try to rape a woman another group who were trying to kill countless civilians as for Shin, seeing this supported me and work with me to accosted the perpetrators and stopped further inhumane acts from occurring. Our punishment was nothing as I was a general I will be dang if I let my troops act like that, seeing Shin and my actions they were no furth atrocities that occur.
Due to the actions of the Gyoku Hou Unit and I rewarded the Gaku Ka Unit, Ou Hou and Mou Ten and Shin received the greatest merit from this siege. While my siege had progressed my four vice generals had taken Kyochu and Kyosai.
The Second City
The second city was taken by the Hi Shin Unit.
Kinrikan City
The Gyoku Hou Unit used the siege tower again to gain a foothold on the city walls, however, this time the Hi Shin Unit took advantage of it charged up the siege tower and launched an attack on the city walls. Following the Hi Shin Units example, my troops stormed up the siege tower, including the Gaku Ka Unit. The Wei defenders were expecting this and they had placed heavy infantry to prevent this incursion. However, the sheer power of the Hi Shin Unit overwhelmed the defenders instantly. While the defenders were being pushed back, Shin attempted to abseil down the inside of the walls. Seeing his I remember that this got him isolated and surrounded by thousands of Wei soldiers so I ordered my second in command to take control and when to have some fun.
I know Wei was expecting Shins tactic and had heavily fortified the entrance.
As same in the show Shin's plan came unstuck when Ryuu Sen let go of the rope and leaving him isolated and surrounded by thousands of Wei soldiers but this time I was there too. Since Wei had used so many men to defend against the siege tower that it was fun letting lose, the defenses at other areas had been weakened and the Kaku Bi Unit had taken advantage of this fact. The Kaku Bi Unit stormed the city and they swiftly took it.
Rin Ko assassinates Kaku Bi
In the middle of the night, one of Ren Pa's four heavenly kings, Rin Ko decapitated Kaku Bi with one attack. I know Rin Ko's next targets were supposed to be 1000-man commanders but my I had my troops guard the commander. My soldiers hunt him down and bring him to me. Rin Ko had managed to kill 1 of my 1000-man commanders on that night but get caught.
I had my troops march to Sanyou
My Army began advancing to the next city one days later and due to some failed assassinate. I had my army extremely strict in its defense.
As for how Rin Kp got caught it was Shin Who intercepts Rin Ko.
Rin Ko attempted to escape by bursting through the Qin lines but he coincidentally charged into the Hi Shin Unit. Shin attacked him with a ferocious blow which Rin Ko managed to block and Rin Ko caught Shin's wrist and they went tearing through the forest, dueling all the way. In a clearing Rin Ko let go of Shin's wrist and they carried on their duel, each striving for dominance. Rin Ko managed to cause a shallow wound on Shin's torso. Just as Rin Ko was moving in for the kill, the rest of the Hi Shin Unit arrived and Rin Ko was forced to retreat.
As a result I reward Shin of the Hi Shin Unit, some others like in the show like Mou Ten of the Gaku Ka Unit and Ou Hon of the Gyoku Hou Unit by promoting them to 1000-man commanders.
The impressive advances that both the Kan Ki Army and Ou Sen Army had made had resulted in Qin conquering 16 Wei cities in total. These three armies moved in tandem and closed in on Sanyou.
Two months after the Sanyou campaign had begun, Ren Pa arrived at the location of the decisive battle at the head of a large 140,000 man army. However, he could not deploy his troops at the most strategically desirable location of Mount Man as Ou Sen has already seized it. Kan Ki deployed his army a distance away from the central army on Mount Ryuu. My army arrived a day later between the two armies on the Rui plains and set up for the coming battle.
The battle
(Now they are back to being Qin army :( )
First Day
My Army vanguard was under the command of General Do Mon and consisted of 8,000 soldiers. During the clash, the Wei under the command of Ri rio try to started by taking out the hastily formed 1000-man units but Ou Hon managed to stop Ri rio by cutting his arm off.
At that moment, the my Army second wave under the command of General Ei Bi, consisting of 8,000 troops moved out to support first army in attacking Unlike in the show, the second wave had effect on the flow of the battle. The units were reformed and in order. As battle continues I saw that Hi Shin Unit had lack of synergy which would render them useless. I had told them to created a strategy of acting as smaller individual units but coordinating attacks on identified targets. The Hi Shin Unit's actions paid off and the Qin troops began to push back the Wei army.
Sound unit locating Hi Shin Unit
Seeing that the tide of battle was changing, Wei launched their second wave, led by Gen Bou. Simultaneously, Gen Bou created a smokescreen, while the Ri Rin army try to retreated. Like in the story Gen Bou ordered his archers to attack the already confused Qin army. I had ordered Shin to identified those signal as in the story, after hear it he used the Blue Stone Tribe to locate him.
First clash aftermath
Qin army was almost annihilated after first clash
Shin leads 1,000 men and charged Gen Bou's location under a hail of arrow fire. Gen Bou used an anti-cavalry picket trap to halt the charge. Just as the Wei soldiers moved in for the kill, the Gyoku Hou Unit arrived as reinforcements. The combined Hi Shin Unit and Gyoku Hou Unit began a counterattack. Seeing his position under threat, he ordered a retreat. On seeing this, Shin launched a spear at Gen Bou, just missing him. After Gen Bou had retreated, the smoke dispersed.
To Preserve morale of troops, Shin and Ou Hon were set up as heroes of the battle.
Second Day
Kyou En alters the flow of the battle with his archery skill.
Wei's 40,000 strong right armies led by Kyou En began to advance. They engaged Qin's 40,000 strong left armies led by Ou Sen. However, both sides were evenly matched, which resulted in a stalemate. As one of the Ten Bows of China, Kyou En used his exceptional ability with the bow to freely direct his troops. He slowly managed to gain the upper hand over Ou Sen's army and they gradually began to be pushed back.
Concurrently to the battle on Qin's left, a battle erupted on Qin's right. The Qin 30,000 strong right army led by Kan Ki began to engage the Wei 40,000 strong left army led by Kai Shi Bou. In the first skirmishes between the two armies, Kai Shi Bou's army received heavy losses.
Seeing how the battle was developing on both flanks my second in command Mou Gou decided to opt for a defensive strategy. He Was sure that both right and left armies would emerge victorious, which would allow us to strike out at the enemy HQ.
Fourth Day
Kan Ki's guerilla warfare
Kan Ki's extreme terror tactics
By the fourth day, Kan Ki's army was dominating Kai Shi Bou's. The forested mountainous terrain was ideal for Kan Ki to conduct his preferred method of combat, guerilla warfare. Kan Ki was launching surprise attacks day and night at any openings they found and retreating before any concentrated resistance could be formed. If a Wei unit followed them in too deep, they would utterly annihilate it. Kan Ki also used extreme terror tactics. He mutilated Wei soldier bodies, before sending them to the Wei HQ, spreading fear to the very core of the Wei men
Gen Bou arrived at the Wei HQ to witness this latest, gruesome delivery. He informed Kai Shi Bou that he will be taking command of the Wei left army, on orders from Ren Pa. He explains that overall victory requires a swift victory in this battlefield and that a general who specializes in the head-on collisions is a bad matchup against Kan Ki.
Kan Ki beheads Gen Bou in a battle
Wei uses gongs to spread news of Gen Bou's death
Gen Bou's strategy revolved around a quick and sudden attack on Kan Ki's HQ. He deduced it's location and he sent Kai Shi Bou with a strike team to destroy it. However, a spy alerted Kan Ki to this sudden development and he decided to strike at the Wei HQ in turn. Kan Ki and some of his troops snuck into the Wei HQ dressed as Wei messengers and informed Gen Bou that Kai Shi Bou had attacked Kan Ki's HQ. Gen Bou had noticed that their armor is covered in blood, and at that moment Kan Ki and his troops killed all the Wei Guards. Gen Bou tried one last desperate attempt to survive by taking Kan Ki under his wing, however, Kan Ki lived up to his moniker and beheads Gen Bou in one blow.
Due to the battle taking place over such a large area, Wei had set up gongs to allow them to transmit information instantaneously across the battlefield. Thus, the Wei army quickly learned about the death of Gen Bou. Due to Gen Bou's death and nightfall quickly approaching, Ren Pa Ordered his army to make camp. He only planned to make minor changes to his overall strategy to compensate for Gen Bou's death.
Fifth Day
Sanyou Campaign Cooperative.
Gaku Ka Unit striking out from the Qin lines
Mou Ten fighting Ri rin elite men
Ri Rin received information from the Wei HQ that the battle to avenge Gen Bou would take place in two days' time, so Ri Rin ordered his troops to take it easy until the right moment. Likewise, his counterpart General Domon was sticking to Great General Mou Gou's overall strategy of holding the line.
Suddenly, Mou Ten's Gaku Ka Unit struck out from the Qin line, leaving a meager 200 men to cover their spot. The 800 strong Gaku Ka Unit charged towards Ri Rin 4,500 strong command squad in wedge formation. Just before the two armies clashed, the Gaku Ka Unit split into 5 smaller units, which targeted the gaps in the Wei troops formation. Rin had expected this line of attack and bolstered this weak point in his formation with 700 of his elite men. However, luring out Rin elite troops was always part of Mou Ten's strategy.
At that moment, the cavalry from both the Hi Shin Unit, and the Gyoku Hou Unit charged Rin command unit. Rin began to see the threat to his army, and he ordered his elite troops to retreat. When Mou Ten saw that Shin and Ou Hon were sufficiently advanced, he began a strategic withdraw, which lured away from a portion of the Wei defenders. Shin and Ou Hon were determined to press their advantage and pushed even deeper towards Rin. However, Rin Ko's elite's had moved to intercept them and they began vicious hand to hand combat. The majority of the Hi Shin Unit and Gyoku Hou Unit were bogged down fighting Rin elites, however, this allowed Shin and Ou Hon to bypass them and continue advancing until they confronted Rin. Once Shin and Ou Hon had penetrated Rin inner defenses, the two units began a slow fighting withdrawal.
Ou Hon and Rin began dueling, with Rin quickly gaining the upper hand due to Ou Hon's more experience at that moment Shin struck Rin with an earth-shattering blow, forcing Rin back and making him quickly reform his thoughts of dangerous Shin's was to him. Shin and Ou Hon began furious simultaneous combat with Rin, but Rin was the match for everything they could throw at him. Slowly but surely, Rin inflict superficial wounds on both Shin and Ou Hon.
Concurrently, there was brutal fighting on the Qin left flank between the Ou Sen army and Kyou En army. While the Ou Sen army as a whole was being pushed back, the 1000-man Heki Unit alone stood firm and managed to push back the Wei soldiers. A large force of 10,000 troops led by Kyou En began to advance on Heki's position. Ou Sen personally took command of 2000 men and rendezvoused with the Heki Unit. Ou sen gave Heki a command of 5000 men with the intention to ambush the numerically superior Wei force.
In the center battle, the Hi Shin Unit was in a desperate fight to prevent reinforcements aiding Rin and they were just barely holding out. Ou Hon wounds had become so severe, that he had just become an onlooker at Shin and Rin duel. Various members of the Hi Shin Unit and Gyoku Unit engaged members of Rin army to make sure that there were no interruptions to the duel. Gradually, the weight of Shin's blows began to overpower Rin. Numerous blows left Rin Ko reeling until Shin jumped and landed a devastating blow on Rin, putting everything he had behind it. Rin barely managed to block the attack, but it shattered his horse's leg and Rin almost lost his left leg which had a big cut on it. After suffering his wound, Rin disengaged from his duel with Shin. He noticed that the Qin formation was in shambles and he ordered his Wei forces to press forwards.
Back on the Qin's left flank, Heki noticed that the Wei army was traveling through a Wei Di and he decided that it was the perfect time to launch the ambush. He had set up archers on the steep cliffs of the Wei Di and they began to pepper the Wei army with arrows, spreading confusion and panic throughout the Wei army, Heki pressed the advantage by ordering his troops to descend the Wei Di and launch an offensive on the Wei army. At that moment another Wei army appeared at the top of the Wei Di, and they quickly secured it. The Heki army tried in vain to reclaim the advantage but they were pushed back. The Heki army was about to be caught in a pincer attack, until a Qin army led by Ou Sen launched a devastating attack at the top of the Wei Di, thus reclaiming it.
Ou Sen's fort
Ou Sen's intervention decisively altered the flow of the battle in favor of the Qin forces. Initially, Ou Sen tried to negotiate Kyou En's surrender by offering him a place in his army. Kyou En offered a swift riposte in the form of an arrow. At that moment Ren Pa arrived at the top of the Wei Di, breaking the Qin encirclement. His mere presence surged the Wei men's morale and sent them into a frenzy. The power of the Wei soldiers reached new heights and they began to push to the Qin men back. Ou Sen responded by reorganizing the Qin army. Ou sen shocked the entire battlefield by ordering his entire army to retreat. The combined Ren Pa and Kyou En armies began a furious pursuit, but the Qin army managed to fight them off. The Wei army advanced till much to their surprise they came to a giant fort, which had been constructed by Ou Sen. The Sun was about to set so Ren Pa ordered his men to make camp and surround the fort.
In the center battlefield, the concentrated Wei attack had left the Qin lines in a shambles. The Wei army had retreated due to the setting sun and the surviving Qin army limped back to their camp. Due to the fierce combat, both Shin and Kyou Kai had suffered severe wounds.
Sixth Day
Centre battlefield
For the final day, the Hi Shin, Gaku Ka and Gyoku Hou Units were deployed as Qin reserves. The Hi Shin in the center and the Gaku Ka and Gyoku Hou on the right, the Wei began proceedings by launching an all-out offensive on the Qin lines. A particular emphasis was put on the Qin's right and they slowly began to push the Qin defenders back. Suddenly the Wei attackers formed a Rindou and they launched a devastating attack on the Qin's center and general Ei Bi's position. They swiftly crushed the center of Qin's formation and Rin killed Ei Bi with one blow. Seeing the danger, Shin launched a swift counterattack and halted Rin advance. Shin had left 200 of his most wounded men under the leadership of Kyou Kai to fill in the gap left by his advance.
Shin and Rin began to engage in furious hand to hand combat. They both strived for an opening but each attack was repelled. Rin was forced to use only one sword due to his injury but he made up for it with his skillful horsemanship. Rin desire to win the battle began to overwhelm Shin.
Qin HQ
Ren Pa suddenly appeared on the other side of the Qin main HQ. He tried to bait me out by taunting me, however, I was far bored and more experienceto to fall for Ren Pa's insults. I ordered the Qin soldiers to prepare to defend the position. The Mou Gou's army numbered 8,000, with my 10,000 while Ren Pas's army number 2,000. I left Mou Gou to deal with this because this fortress was designed stop any attack so Ren Pa and I welcomed the attack. I let Mou Gou whatever for now, he had utilized the stratagem of the broken paths.
Ren Pa saw the advantage and he ordered his men to attack. They came under withering arrow fire from multiple directions. Wei troops quickly secured the forest opposite the HQ and returned fire. Many of the Wei troops fell into the many traps that Mou Gou had set up and they were swiftly exterminated. However, Ren Pa personally led a unit and he kept avoiding the traps. Mou Gou tried to alter the maze to trap Ren Pa, but Ren Pa was alert to this possibility and he used the new opening to flank the Qin troops and overcome Mou Gou's death trap.
In the center army, Shin and Rin were still locked in combat, with both trying to gain an advantage over the other. The power of the Hi Shin Unit was alone holding together the Qin lines and Rin knew that if he could defeat Shin, the Qin lines would crumble. Shin and Rin Ko's horses clashed together, knocking Shin off balance. Rin took advantage of this by delivering a deep wound on Shin's right thigh. Shin, realizing that he was at a disadvantage, dismounted both himself and Rin.
Shin slays Rin
Shin ad Rin continued the duel on foot, but due to the accumulation of wounds, shin began to dominate Rin. One of Rin officers, Gi Ryou, decided to interfere with the duel and slay Shin. So Sui saw this surprise attack and he slew Gir You with one attack. So Sui's momentum brought him face to face with Rin, who seeing So Sui's killing intent struck him down in one blow. Shin used this split second to land a devastating blow on Rin torso. collapsed to his knees, likewise, Shin also collapsed due to the exertions from the duel. They both slowly got to their feet to resume their desperate duel. They both delivered numerous small wounds on each other. Eventually, Shin saw an opening and he ran through Rin with his sword.
Concurrently to this duel, Rin had sent a reserve force to attack the areas that become weakened due to the absence of the main Hi Shin Unit. Kyou Kai alarmed at this development charged into the Wei troops and destroyed everything that approached her.
Hearing about Rin plan from one of the Wei troops, Shin began to desperately search for Kyou Kai I told him to rest and let me go after him. There were several survivors from the Hi Shin Unit and they mentioned that Kyou Kai had charged in alone. I continued my search until I saw a lone figure standing in a sea of corpses. The Wei soldiers had all been cut to pieces. As I closed in, I saw that it was Kyou Kai. I managed to catch her as she collapsed due to her exertions. I take her to the Qin HQ. On the Way to the Qin HQ, I meet Shin and Mou Ten and we head to the HQ.
Ren Pa carried on his unstoppable advance, annihilating everything in his path. The desperate Qin defenders were using everything in their power to stop Ren Pa and them unleased boulders at him. However, it was to no avail as Ren Pa burst through the hapless defenders. I rode out to confront Ren Pa because it was getting more boring.
From the first couple of blows, I was overpowering Ren Pa. However, he managed to weather the early storm and started to deliver powerful blows himself. I gradually started to sustain minor injuries, which I don't care about. I delivered a devastating blow that shattered Ren Pa's horse's leg and one of his arm. I moved in for the final blow, cuting Ren Pa into half. Ten and two of his men attacked me but they were cut up instantly. Shin announced to me that he had defeated Rin Ko and showed me his sword as proof.
After this, the HQ became a battlefield, but the my soldiers had the advantage of outnumbering the Wei soldiers. However, wei troops laid waste some Qin soldier than was brave enough to face them in combat. A soldier suddenly noticed that the Wei main HQ was burning.
Concurrently to the fighting at the Qin HQ, Kan Ki had made his way to the Wei HQ. Kan Ki swiftly defeated the Wei army by luring it out of HQ. Once the army was destroyed Kan Ki set fire to the HQ. He executed all the prisoners, including Haku Ki Sai.
Seeing their HQ burning, Kai Shi Bou tried a desperate attack. Heki charged the HQ with 2,000 men to add more to Qin's strength. Wei troops quickly arranged a ceasefire with me, which me gratefully accepted.
