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

And joined the rebel army

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
