I'm not blocking them off
I'm letting them in.
No.
They must be collaborating with the force outside.
I know
we're going to defeat our enemies in a dragnet.
After ten days
we can dig three tunnels in here, here and here.
Commander, what do you think?
Can you speed up the process?
If our soldiers can enter the city
Liang will not be able to defend.
Three days later
will be the advent of winter.
Longer night time is an advantage for our attack.
Commander.
Someone was spying on us a few days ago...
The longer we take
our enemies may find out the tunnel exits.
Gather all the slaves
three days later we'll attack from here.
Warriors, get ready.
Commander...
The exit was blocked, move back.
Attack.
Pull.
Drop your weapons
and your lives will be spared.
They're here
I'm just a slave I don't want to come.
Stop him let me go.
Kill him.
What are you doing? Please let her down.
Stay back.
Please... please, let her go...
Please... don't...
He'll really kill my sister.
The Zhao force me I don't want to come.
Please, please...
Please give her back to me.
Please let her down.
Stay back.
No please.
Let her go... Let the child go.
She's innocent
I just know how to dig tunnels
they force me to come.
Get ready.
Kill.
Shoot.
Defeating enemies in a dragnet.
Quiet Xiao Xiao, it's okay.
Let go of the child.
I promise no one will hurt you.
Give her to me.
Please... Give me
Xiao Xiao...
Stop.
Let him go.
Stop.
Move back.
Everybody back.
Everybody move back.
Sir, are you alright?
I'm fine.
All of you assemble at the square.
Hurry up! Go.
Are you okay? Did you get hurt?
Let's go back.
Don't come back.
Go along the stream, you'll not be found.
Why don't you kill me?
Why do you ask such a foolish question?
Why... Should people kill each other?
I must take revenge for you.
It's all my fault
I shouldn't make you suffer.
They're inhuman.
Congratulations on your astounding victory.
The king would like to reward you.
Please come with me to the palace.
Reward?
General Niu...
Can't you see all these dead bodies?
They were our enemies.
Aren't they humans?
When enemies is trying to kill me
I'll have to defend or even kill him
but killing someone because of hatred...
It's absolutely wrong.
What a pity.
Every man has his weak point.
Mozi philosophy is not for ruling a country.
This Mozi clan will fall...
I'd like to be excused.
You seem very appreciative of Ge Li.
I acknowledge his defending skills.
That's where it should end.
Mozi philosophy is only applicable in times of war.
They're not suitable in times of peace.
You must be clear on this.
Yes, my lord is right.
Understood.
Watch him closely.
Yes don't let him getting off the track.
Yes.
General Niu.
Yes you must pay close attention
all those revolting thoughts
shall never spread in Liang.
Yes.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
The weather is getting cold...
I know you don't have any warm clothing...
So I took out my father's coat
and see if it fits or not
I can adjust it...
Just fit, thanks
I'll return it when I leave.
When?
I'll leave when this battle is over.
The battle should be over soon...
Very soon.
Did you go to the square last night?
No.
You assigned me to keep guard in the north
I'd heard the Zhao army was defeated.
Many of them died...
Lots of them.
They're still...
Moving their bodies out for burial.
Defeating enemies in a dragnet... is that right?
I remembered
my father told me this when I was a little girl...
When you start questioning
what is right or wrong
you are uncertain with your faith and beliefs.
Is it only war can make you stay?
I thought...
You are always looking for peace.
Sorry...
What for?
You're always like that...
You're so protective with everything you do.
You always ask whether you're right or not.
Is it really that important?
Even if you know it's right
but for some people...
They prefers to be wrong.
I would want to tell you
no matter it's right or wrong.
I just want to be with you.
You talk about universal love all the time.
You should know how to love
you know.
Ge Li arrives... Liang will survive.
Ge Li stays... Liang will be safe.
Ge Li goes... Liang cannot hold.
How about if Ge Li leaves?
Just those small pieces?
Anyway, melt it quickly.
Commander.
It is time to retreat.
News from our spy who returned from Zhao nation.
Proceed.
News from Zhao nation.
The king of Qi has ordered an army of 200,000
setting off five days ago to attack Zhao nation
Zhao nation is preparing for the war.
Thanks for your majesty's blessing.
If that is the case.
Xiang Yanzhong will be called back
Liang will be saved.
However, the news of Zhao's retreat must not spread
I plead my lord
to withdraw all power from Ge Li immediately
otherwise, people will think it is Ge Li
who defeated the Zhao troops.
We have to demolish any chance
for Ge Li's supporters to rebel.
You think Ge Li will rebel, general?
I don't think so.
Why are you so sure?
Because... Because there is no such need.
Ge Li's popularity
is now higher than the king
he doesn't need to do a thing.
Right?
Someone defending Liang under false pretenses
and initiates rebellion by
imposing personal adoration.
Doesn't it sound the same as rebel?
General, what do you think?
I agree with royal tutor but lack of evidence.
General Niu.
Yes if you restores your military power
would you be able to put down the riot?
And arrest all the rebels?
They're back.
How's it?
Commander
Liang must think that we had retreated.
We're just left with 1,000 soldiers.
Commander
shall we call back part of our army for the attack?
Victory will come
when there's no way to retreat.
This battle has to be fast and clear.
We'll end this up with Ge Li.
New boots?
No problem, Mr. Ge Li
it will be ready when you come back.
I disagreed on the massacre last night, but...
You can't stop them...
I always think that killing
enemies is a kind of glory...
Where will you go after the battle ends?
Wherever needs me, I'll be there.
What if Zhao is being invaded and ask for your help
will you go?
Of course I would.
You've wiped out their army
then turn around and save their lives?
Those you'd defeated before...
Will they accept your help?
Frankly speaking
I'm never sure
whether those people I had helped
really appreciate what I've done for them...
Then, Mozi's universal love is just blind talking?
Nothing is perfect.
I just want no regrets in my life.
Blacksmith is the pot ready?
Sure.
Mr. Ge Li is a true hero.
He's humble and skilled.
Just the opposite to our royals.
If our king got a bit of his talent
Liang will be unbeatable.
Mr. Ge Li.
Mr. Ge Li we are all set.
Let's go.
Is this really going to work?
That's psychological tactic.
Can you really cook Zhao food?
I can guarantee that the Zhaos will be miss home-
here is the firewood.
Put it here.
Thank you.
Pass me the seasoning.
Mr. Ge Li...
How is it?
There's no one is the Zhao camp.
They retreated?
Yes. It's abandoned. Nothing's there.
You guys first go back. I'll go and check it out.
Come on.
Let's have some meat.
Is that Zhao's food? What a great smell.
Open the gate.
Ge Li is back.
By order of the royal court.
Ge Li is defending Liang under false pretenses
and initiates rebellion by
imposing personal adoration.
Be arrested, otherwise you will be killed.
General...
Ge Li!
I'd always suspected your motives.
How dare you seize my land
I'm going to kill you today.
Take me hostage.
My prince... Thank you.
Draw back.
Move back.
Open the gate.
Ge Li, let go my prince
the king will pardon you.
Prepare Ge Li's arrows.
Yes sir.
Thank you.
Mr. Ge Li.
Sir...
May I follow by your side?
You should go back.
Staying in Liang is much more important.
Don't you wish to see more people
passing on Mozi's thought of peace?
Remember those who know how to defend a city
cannot bring peace to the world.
Peace lies on the kings of all nations.
Understand?
Ge Li, release the prince.
Ge Li had released me I'm coming back.
Stop.
Sir.
Thank you.
Let's go.
We're not going back.
Where're you guys going?
Let's go home.
We've got no home.
The prince is coming back.
Get ready.
Yes.
Aren't they... Retreated already? Why...
What sound is that?
Shoot as far as you can.
Run.
Quick.
Fire.
Run.
Mr. Ge Li.
Don't come back, go.
Go.
Search for the bodies.
Come with me.
My lordship Liang shi has fallen.
Your servant has killed the prince by accident
I'll never be forgiven.
However, Liang is still under the threat of riot
I plead with you my lord
to let me accomplish my mission in a hundred days
I swear I can eliminate all Ge Li's league.
I will take my punishment after that.
Please, my lord
Liang shi... Is my only son
he was the future of Liang.
You ruined the future of Liang.
Pardoning you?
That's ridiculous.
But taking into account of your loyalty
and all you've done in defending Liang
moreover...
Protection of Liang
cannot lie on outsiders
I'm in a hard position
I'll accept your plea. Hundred days later
your accusation will be denounced.
Thank you, my lord.
Why are you taking me? What have I done?
General, what's happening here?
The king's decree capture all the rebels.
Rinse again with water.
What have you asked me for, sir?
The king ordered you to kill Ge Li.
Why didn't you shoot him last night?
Ge Li has done nothing wrong.
He saved all the Liang people.
You disobeyed the king's command.
You will be punished.
What do you guys want?
Let go of me.
Stop.
Sometimes, I really don't know...
What is cause and effect.
There's no cause and effect.
You saved them, and they turn against you.
Mozi... Doesn't ask for returns.
Are all Mozi's like that?
How come you came here alone?
Mozi... Didn't send anyone to Liang.
You came here on your own will?
How many cities can you protect?
There are never ending wars and battles
peace will only come
when the seven nations are united
I believe universal love
is the only path towards peace
Mozi's "universal love" is loving everyone
that means you don't know whom you should love.
Where are you going?
To Liang
and let someone I love know that I am safe.
It's all underground stream here
and you're injured.
It's too dangerous, I'll go for you.
Your majesty
these people were in league with Ge Li.
They are traitors.
My lord... I have nothing to do with Ge Li.
I know nothing about his rebellion...
Immoral, selfish.
When everyone praise Ge Li
respect him and listen to him.
Will you say such things?
I'm just a farmer, I just want to live my life
I don't care who's a hero
I just miss my family, my child
my home... my lord...
Your city is in great danger
and you are just self-seeking.
Don't you know how many unfortunate lives
we had lost to save our city?
Without Ge Li
we never would have been saved.
Guard.
Sir.
Slap her.
Yes.
You are the descendants of my loyal servant
and you grew up with my beloved son
I'll have mercy on you, I'm granting you death
you'll have a royal funeral
you'll be honored as Calvary Princess
and buried with my beloved son...
It's all rubbish.
You just want me
to be a burial item in your son's tomb.
You want all of us to die under you verdict
so as to prove and show your power.
But if it wasn't Ge Li
and those who died in the war.
Would you still be able
to abuse your people?
Shut up.
This girl no longer belongs to the royal families.
She was in league with Ge Li.
She will be executed in the public...
Ripped to shreds by five horses.
Execute.
Execute them all.
Yes.
Execution.
My lord! My lord.
Report to the king, Yi Yue was muted.
Yes.
Warriors behind this slope, there is a city
in that city, there're 4,000 people
but under the ground outside this city
there're 5,000 warriors
friends and brothers who came with us
we can't just leave them there
they were killed even after
throwing down their weapons
their bodies were even
tossed from the wall...
We'll fight for our fallen
brothers to our last soldier.
Start.
What's that?
Anything you want to say?
What did you see?
There's nothing.
Look! Over there
Zhao is attacking again.
Shoot them.
The Zhao's here...
Protect the king.
Hurry up, protect the king.
My lord, this way.
Get more soldiers up here.
Wait! How about us?
All soldiers report to you captain.
Bring her back to the prison.
Come with me.
No! Stop.
Stop.
Stop shooting.
Go, quick.
Go.
General... General, let's go.
Go?
This is betrayal.
If you won't leave, neither will we.
General
whatever we do... We're all rebels.
All your men have been... Dispersed already
or you would like...
To see us all get our wrists broken?
Fight for our homeland.
Bring more arrows here.
Kill all those who tried to run
and all those evade.
What's going on, sister?
Come, quick
Xiao Xiao, stay in here
no matter what, don't come out, okay?
Alright I'll be right behind the wall.
Run?
Get the horses out, quick.
Hurry up.
Kill all those who run.
Go.
General.
The archers had taken down the north gate
around 800 of them had escaped.
Abandon the north gate
get all soldiers to the bulwark
await for my command.
Yes.
General it's over we should... Surrender.
We can't surrender... General, Ge Li said
if we surrender, we will end up even worst.
General, Ge Li said that...
Stop talking about Ge Li, there're only us now.
General...
Any arrows left?
Listen.
We can't rely on others.
We have to hang on even if we have
only one soldier left.
General... The enemies are here. Leave now.
Everybody, run now.
Let's go.
General... Run...
This person is the great general Niu.
Commander
defending the city is Ge Li's intention.
Commander
we're suppose to hand him over to you...
But he had escaped.
Ge Li...
By tomorrow's noon time
if you don't come back...
We'll burn down the city
and its entire people.
Please lead us to fight back
I am willing to give up my life.
So do we.
If we go back, more people will die.
Why can't we end this war...
In a rational way?
You really want to go back?
Is it worth it?
If this can really stop the war
and save more lives
why not?
Is it worth it?
Bring all the men out, leave the women here.
Go, quick.
Keep moving, hurry up.
Commander, I think Ge Li will not come.
We'd taken Liang already, why don't we go back?
We can reach our main force
and return home and protect our homeland.
Isn't that just another battle field?
There's only victory & defeat
we have taken Liang but it's not a victory.
Ge Li had lost.
His theory is impractical,
idealism leads to jealousy.
He can't even gain the trust
of those he helped.
He was totally beaten.
There is no winner in this battle
I know Ge Li had lost but...
I had to defeat him myself.
Someone is coming.
Mr. Ge Li...?
Close the gate.
Commander on the battlefield
we had a fair fight
and no regrets.
You've taken Liang already
why do you have to kill all its people?
Nonsense.
You think war is a game?
They fought for you you failed
and with no responsibility you left.
It's you...
You bring them to the battlefield.
Fine.
It's totally between you and me.
Will commander end all this with me alone
on the gate tower?
No matter who wins
please spare these people's life.
It is all between me and Ge Li.
Only one of us can walk out from the gate tower.
No matter who he is everything will end.
What are you waiting for?
Let's start.
Forget it.
As you had said
no matter who get out of here
this whole thing will be over.
Go now, Ge Li is willing to stay here.
Good strategy.
I promised to retreat
just because I want to defeat you
but now, you give up
I am leading 100,000 soldiers
but before attacking Yan,
I'd already lost 5,000 men
and after all, I didn't get Liang
but at least... Now... I can kill you
and take revenge for my men.
Don't use the dead ones as an excuse
to cover up your savageness.
War...
Will only cause more death.
Both the dead and the living ones have to suffer...
Enough.
In battlefields survivors are the winners.
Survivors are winners?
Though you survive
can your 5,000 soldiers come back?
Retreat
end this war now
or else...
The rest of your men
will also lose their lives.
My auxiliary troop has arrived.
General Wei, we're besieged.
Warriors.
Fight.
Everybody fight and drive the Zhaos out.
That way.
Ask yourself.
Is it for the soldiers
or for your own savageness?
Please leave
don't let any more people lose their lives...
Go now.
I was defeated I'm staying here.
Please go.
Commander...
Survivors are the winners.
Commander
is victory more important than your life?
My life must be meaningful.
Please go and tell my people to leave
I can't help you.
You bring them here you should save them.
There is someone I have to save.
Yi Yue...
Shoot.
Don't run.
Attack.
Yi Yue...
Can you hear me? Are you there?
Yi Yue! Where are you?
Yi Yue...
Commander, we must leave now.
You all leave now. General Wei will lead you home.
Commander... This is my command
I want you all to leave.
Back to you homeland.
Yes.
Listen.
Aim at their feet.
Ready.
Shoot.
General Wei, the commander ordered you
to lead our retreat.
Retreat.
Leave now
I'll stay with the commander.
The commander ordered you
to lead our retreat.
We came together, we'll leave together.
Right! We came together and leave together.
Yes, we'll leave together
I'm not leaving.
Go now.
Take the general.
Let me down
I'm not leaving.
Let me down, that's my order...
Let me down.
I order you to let me down...
Shoot.
Yes.
Archers.
Get ready.
Shoot.
Long live my lord.
Where's general?
Xiao Xiao, stay in here
no matter what, don't come out, okay?
I'll be right behind the wall
