We were outside kourou city I knew it would only fall on the 11th day thanks to ouhons siege tower but I don't want to sit around for that long. When we arrived the city was already on its third day of being sieged we were on the opposite side of the wall where shin was placed.
We were in the third wave of soldiers being sent out we planned before the infantry will climb while I support them with arrows much like Jin during the gyou arc.
At HQ
"General mougu the famous Hi Ryo unit is making a move."
"Insolent why would you report such useless news." The commander was obviously frustrated from having to deal with a city that wouldn't fall easily.
"A- apologies but they seem to have a plan."
"Hohoho let's watch now a new generation is always interesting to watch." This was the old general he stepped out and started watching
"Hohoho look at them they even have the cavalry out front."
Back to MC
I gave my signal for infantry to move out. They were the Spartans the ones with the circular shield would move up first followed by the ones with the long spears . The would hold a foot line and then get down to the gate like ouhon would do on the 11th day.
They started climbing and when they were a few meters away I stepped out of the line and loaded my arrow I knew most eyes were on me so I decided to put on a show
*whoosh*
*whoosh*
*whoosh*
*whoosh*
*whoosh*
One after another I let arrows loose and they all hit there target after almost finishing my quiver they gained a foot hold and fell into formation the shield troops would protect the spear wilders and then the spear troop will step them until they move over the gate and use a rope to get down. I heard cheers from HQ and the army behind me as the gate opened and we rushed in slaughtering Wei soldiers.
We made a beeline to the city lord and killing him fully claiming the city and short after the rest of the walls fell and more Qin men flooded in. I was on the top of the city lords estate putting our units flag.
After settling down I revived a summon by general mougu as I was following the messenger I saw mouten trying to hold shin back from killing a thousand man commander for trying to **** a women seeing this I grabbed one of my men's spear and threw it with full strength at the man it hit and he went flying backwards his men started screaming at me but I glared at them and releasing my aura
"Scram you scum." The men were frozen for a bit but they started walking away with shock. Morten tried telling me I will get in trouble but I just stopped him by putting my hand up
"It's alright I'll deal with this. Shin can you help those people to the camp." I walked off and heard a few thanks I turned to the messenger but he went of properly to report what happened to the main base.
Walking into the HQ with a smile as if nothing happened I was met with glares.
"YOU BRAT HOW DARE YOU KILL A THOUSAND MAN COMMANDER!!." He went on ranting about how I broke the law by killing a higher ranking man I just ignored him which ticked him of more
"Apologies general I will take any punishment you deem fit." I looked at general mougu but he had the same smile and didn't look angry
"Hohoho is that so then I will take this wine I was going to give you as a gift for taking the city but…"
He turned serious while looking at me
"….. this is the reality of war if you kill every one who does this you will be executed regardless of your noble rank."
"Hmm I'll simply change it when I make my way to the top." I said with a smile whip pointing my finger upwards.His men just started laughing and mocking me
"HOHOHO is that so HOHOHO I'll be waiting you are dismissed."
We moved out of the city after a few days and went on. The next city fell the same way to us and we were reward however the next city we were given a sort of holiday as not to participate. This city fell to ouhon with his siege tower but mouten stole the credit and the next city shin just jumped on his siege tower but didn't get any credit.
This went on for two months until we got news of Renpa moving to Rui plains the moral of the commanders was low first having to deal with an assassin(Rinko) and now Renpa.
All the units were summoned in front of the general .
"As you all know we lost a few of our 1000 man commanders we will now promote 3 men to their rank step forth
Mouten of the Gaku Ka unit
Ouhon of the Gyoku Huo unit
Lu Hyuo of the Hi Ryo unit
You three will be promoted to thousand man commanders and added 500 men to your ranks, DISMISSED." As we were turning around to leave we heard general mougus voice
"Wait, step forth Shin of the Hi shin unit. I will promote you to thousand man commander but if you fail to bring me a general or three commanders head you will be demoted to a foot soldier do you accept." Shin without think twice shouted out he would do it . I left to get my new men and the men from the kabuki unit decided to join me while the other half joined shin.
*********************
It was the final day of the battle. Nothing much happened it all went to the manga but I will do something that will shock the whole of china.
"Lord Hyuo it seems like he made the move as planned."
"Good let's move." Shin was still battling rinko and Renpa used this chance to move around the HQ. We quickly rushed up the hill opposite the side Renpa was blasting through.
"Tsk we need to hurry up I hear clashing." I pushed red hare to his limit and sped up leaving a distance between me and my men.
We got on the edge of the hill just as mougu lost his arm Renpa raised his glaive to cut his head of. I clenched my halberd and rushed at him sending multiple strikes to his head which he blocked but he was sent back a few steps
"HAHAHAHA seems like Qin has a few capable youngsters come boy RUOOAH." He sent a strike which sent me flying back wards. I looked at my hand and it was shaking.
"Lord Hyuo""my lord" it was Aoi and Ren who just reached up the cliff . I looked beck at them with a grin
"Whatever happens you are not interfere." The tried to argue I just looked at them and told them not to worry.
"BWAHAHAH BRAT AREN'T YOU A LITTLE COCKY."
"hahaha maybe I am but it wouldn't feel the same if I had to team up against you." He looked at me with a grin and yelled come them. I rushed towards him and with full force with both clashed glaive to halberd this went on for a few minutes. There was smoke coming from the Wei HQ
"RENPA ENOUGH WE HAVE WON THE WAR WEI HQ HAS FALLEN SPARE THE BOY." This was mougu he was trying to help me live.
"So the war was lost but the way this young man is fighting he wouldn't accept anything but a fight to the death." Renpa said with a smile
"Tell me boy what is your dream."
"TO BE A GREAT GENERAL OF THE HEAVENS." I was exhausted up till now the battle was one sided I only managed to land a few shallow wounds
"Hoh do you think you can achieve what only a handful could." I could only give a small smile
"Do you even know what that means." I heard horses rushing up
"Hyu…"
"Don't shin this my fight, huff hufff of course I know ouki told us before he fell isn't that right shin."I said with a exhausted expression
"Hoh you were there during his last breath tell me did he die while Wallowing in regrets or was he relieved he was defeated."
"It was neither the general said those who are strong will always be defeated by the next strong person which is what makes the time flow he does with a smile on his face. Renpa the sight of him could be seen by anyone as a great general of the heavens his image was of a true hero of the ages." I said with a firm voice but I knew I was on the edge of losing my life
"Those words don't seem to be a lie, tell me young man what is your name."
"LU HYUO OF THE HI RYO UNIT."
"Come Lu Hyuo we shall finish our fight with this last blow." And with a roar we unleashed our strongest attack we met in the middle and we were pushing each other back a plan formed in my head loosening the hold on my halberd and bending my horse to the left I let go completely Renpas blow overwhelmed me but I used the momentum to spin and unsheathing my sword I pushed in his chest I was close enough to deal a severe blow to him.
"Hahaha let me give you advice boy if you want your names to be etched into the annals of history you have to overwrite our legends and the only way to do that is to unite the 7 states I wish you the best of luc…." Renpa Sid those words with a smile on his face as if understanding Ouki he took his words to his heart. But their is one more problem
"RENPA-DONO YOU BASTARD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE." Speak of the devil it was his last vassal kaishibou. I got up struggling I took my blade out of Renpas chest I pointed it at him
"Ren Aoi Kip him we need the merit. I am going to sleep for a while." I said those words while holding on to my consciousness but I blacked out as soon as I finished speaking.
At kanyo
"URGENT NEWS GENERL MOUGU HAS WON AGAINST THE WEI ARMY AND GENRAL RENPA AND HIS 4 KINGD FELL IN BATTLE."
"Tell us in full detail."
"YES CHANCELLOR THE FIRST WAS GENPO HE WAS DEFEATED BY KANKI GENRAL MOUGOS LIEUTENANT THE SECOND AND THIRD WERE KAISHIBOU AND KYOUEN WHO WENT AND ATTACKED IN A FIT OF RAGE AFTER HEARING OF THIER LORDS DEATH WHILE RINKO WAS SLAIN BY A THOUSAND MAN COMMANDER BY THE NAME IF SHIN .

Looking back they were smiling or just waving at the crowds unsheathing my sword I raised it and sped up.
