The War of Loong (龙之战)

Something's wrong! Protect Mr. Feng!

Everyone gets out of the water!

Go out of it, now!

Mr. Feng.

They have brought us the money for ten people.

You can't eat your words and go against the rule.

Shut up!

This is my rule. You just shut your mouth up.

Tell them they can only take one,

or, none of them!

You joined the Huai Army and went to Vietnam but didn't tell me.

You are full-fledged now.

Uncle. - You are so capable!

Uncle.

Xiangxian is badly hurt.

Let's talk after going back.

If they didn't ask me to save you,

I will never come here to get you back.

Xiangxian.

Xiangxian. Save me.

Save me.

Mr. Feng. Save us!

Save us. Mr. Feng.

Save us.

You...

Stop that. He is Feng Zicai.

He will bring you a lot of money.

Give me money if they want to save them.

Alright. Alright.

Mr. Feng.

They are mercenaries.

They just want money.

They keep these soldiers alive

just for money.

They promised us to release ten people.

How can they break it?

They don't admit it.

I have talked with them many times.

Mr. Feng, how about us withdrawing now?

One.

At least ten.

Ten.

No. That's impossible, just one.

You tell them.

They shouldn't play hardball with us.

Mr. Feng. How about two?

If you nod,

I will talk to them.

That's okay.

Thanks.

Mr. Feng.

I've heard that you're a good man long before.

Please rest assured. I'll try my best.

Mr. Feng. Save us.

Shut up!

Fire!

In the tenth year under the reign of Emperor Guangxu, in the fall of 1884, the Qing Army was defeated in Vietnam and the French Army started to invade Guangxi.

Xiangxian.

Stop writing and painting everyday.

You should lie on the bed.

Your dad has sent people here several times.

He wanted you to go back.

He is missing you.

You'd better have a good rest.

Okay, by your words!

To be honest,

I really don't want to go anywhere.

I just want to stay here with you.

You're so glib-tongued.

You didn't tell us that you joined the army and went to Vietnam.

We felt worried about you.

It's so nice.

How about having a taste?

You are even so attentive when having the soup.

I am attentive to everything.

Yeah. Except me.

Sun Tzu's Art of War

Is there any news from Paris?

Prime Minister Ferry telegraphed you and said that:

"The country respects and admires the victors.

The republic expresses its appreciation to

our excellent officers and soldiers

as well as the honorable generals."

The skin of oriental women

is as smooth as silk,

But China is not like Vietnam.

Right. China is a huge old sleepy lion.

Its teeth are loose and falling.

I am going to pull

the French bridle over its ears by their own methods.

Holly forefounders of China understood

the power of guerrilla war and slaughters 2,000 years ago.

We are going to slaughter villages and dig graves

to take over a district by slaughtering one village.

Let go of me.

Fire.

Now the foreigners

are pushing us so hard.

They are burning, killing and pillaging wantonly.

They dig our ancestral graves.

They just want to

chop off people's attachment to their homeland

and cut off our roots,

and occupy our land forever.

I have resigned from office and come back to my hometown,

but I led a military life and I can't bear their outrage.

I'm willing to get back my soldiers and fight against the enemy.

I'm not sure we can win or not, but we fight with them to death.

Feng Zicai is an experienced general,

and went to Jingbian. He has made outstanding military exploits.

He once acted as the Guangxi Provincial Commander-in-Chief several years.

He is more familiar with the key issues and military situation

than Pan Zhangyuan and Su Yinkui.

He pledges to fight with the foreigners to death

not for an official position or money.

Feng Zicai has been dismissed for a long time

and now he is in Guangxi enjoying his later life.

He is totally grandstanding.

You have your point,

but few people are

grandstanding now.

Your Grace,

we are now negotiating with the French minister.

we can't get into any trouble.

Besides, Feng Zicai is insolent.

I think he can't go to fight for four reasons.

What are they?

He is old now and becomes powerless.

So he can't fight. That's the first reason.

He is not cultivated and lack of strategies.

So he can't fight. That's the second reason.

He has no good or powerful weapons.

So he can't fight. That's the third reason.

His tactics are outdated.

So he can't fight. That's the forth reason.

Xiangxian. You are back.

Dad, I'm back.

Good.

No need.

Is the French army good at fighting?

Before fighting, they always use canons.

People would be killed

or pass out in explosion.

It's hard for us to get close.

And their shooting speed is several times faster than that of ours.

Are you afraid?

No one is not afraid.

You are admirable

when you tell me the truth.

It's a pity that I highly recommended you,

but I failed to get the power back for you.

You can only help Su Yinkui as an assistant of defense affairs

beyond the Pass.

Mr. Peng.

Mr. Li presented four reasons.

I also have four questions, please answer them.

All ears.

I can get back 5,000 soldiers and horses.

But they are lack of training. Can I have more soldiers?

The Guangdong Army must stop the French Army to attack Guangzhou from Shanghai,

so they can't help you.

So I can only deploy 5,000 Huai soldiers for you.

We are not well-equipped and lack of money and army provisions, how...

We have been poorly-equipped for a long time.

We need you to map out a strategy.

About the money and army provisions, I have asked Mr. Pan to take charge.

I believe he will get them to you before long.

I want to know if I can take charge whenever possible.

In case of any troubles,

you can directly report to

the Government House instead of Su Yinkui.

Alright.

Can I behead anyone below the prefecture level and report afterwards?

If you are condemned, I will stand by your side.

I feel so relieved to hear this.

What are you looking at?

Go ahead.

He is really something.

General, Mr. Mai is coming soon.

Mr. Mai is coming.

My lord, who is that man?

Why is he so rude?

Get out of my way.

I don't know you are coming.

Please forgive me.

Please accept my respect.

General.

General. Please stop it.

Alright, Mai.

You lost yourself but still have skills.

It would be a pity for me if I lose my skills.

Here is your place. According to the rules,

you go with me if I win and stay if I lose.

Pan Zhangyuan's 30,000 Huai soldiers ran away in confusion.

Su Yinkui holed up in Pingxiang.

You are just a carpenter and a mountain villager.

How capable do you think you are?

Li Hongzhang said you couldn't fight for four reasons.

You should think about his words.

You talk so much just like a woman.
