During the period of the Southern Song

Dynasty, the Mongolians occupied the

greater part of North China.

In the year 12159, Mongol the

chief of the Mongols invested Ho Chao,

a city towards the southern part of North

China. The

Chinese commander of the city was Wang

General Wang Qin, who waged war

against the invader with his civilian

friend. Ling Ting Yu.

The Mongol hordes laid siege to the city

for more than six months. Although Mongol

led his men in numerous fierce attacks,

the city's defenders were so strong that

the Mongolians were beaten back and

defeated many times.

Eventually, in desperation, Mongo

enlisted the help of his brother, who

brought 120,000 troops to surround the

city in an attempt to strangle it to

death. In the light of this critical

situation, the defenders of Ho Chao and

their leader, General Wang Chin, were

left with only one possible course of

action.

General Wong, Miss Sue's here. Good, Good

General. In you. I'm relieved that you

were able to get back here all right. But

now introduce me to the lady. Ah, this is

General Wong. How do you do?Honored.

Please, do go in.

Please.

I should have gone to meet you. I'm so

sorry. I've been busy. Oh, no. That's all

right. I've come to fight, not for social

reasons. Sit down. You

two.

Now then. Ho Chau has been besieged for a

week. We can't drive the Mongols off.

We're much too weak. We're heavily

outnumbered. Now, they could overwhelm us

right now. In fact, Ko is

waiting for his brother, Kobe Lee, to

bring up all his men and weapons.

When they get together, then there'll be

a little hope for this place.

We're running low on food stocks. There's

not much left, just enough for a few more

days. So there you are. We

must do something before Koby Lee

arrives. So that's why...

I know. Miss you, it's up to

you. You're the only one that can helpus.

Get the chief and the princess to judge.

Rather, you're drinking too much.

And so what?What's wrong with that?

General. You're holding a

contest. That right?We'd

like both you and the princess to be the

judges, sir. Good.

Hassily, let's go then. Sure.

Ta-da!

Ausley, you can choose.

Jungle Hall. Hey. You can

fight with Toli. Yes, Princess.

yeah

Use your knee. Use your knee. Go on, use

your knee. Hit him. Come

on. Go on, knee.

I'll fight with you. Now that's enough.

Not now. When my brother arrives,

you can challenge him. Your brother's

young and strong, and I could never beat

him in a hundred years. But still, even

so, the way things are, life's

too quiet. So let's have some more

contests right now. General,

he's dead right. We're all bored. After

all, we're just not doing any fighting.

Right. What we want now is some action,

sir. My brother

will arrive here soon. When he does,

there'll be plenty of fighting, as much

as you all want. So don't you worry about

being bored. But still, why can't we have

another contest now?

You're always the same, as stubborn as

hell. Brother, if they really want a

contest, I don't mind giving them one.

Well, you are pretty good with a bow now.

I taught you. And then what was the first

thing you did?You went and shot my best

hunting eagle. Come on, that's all

passed. Right now, let's see who dares to

challenge me.

Ah, come on. When we've finally taken Ho

Chao, there'll be plenty of time for

contests. No, listen. I want to have a

contest today. Hmm

Do what you're told. I'm going for a

drink. Hey, no wait! You can't go! Eh,

she's right. All of the men, they

need something to do. Well, all right,

they can gamble. No, no, no, noThat's no

use.

Hey, I know something that would really

amuse the men. What's more, the

princess would like it as well. Yeah?All

right, get up.

Hey. Come on. Mow it.

Hurry! Hurry, yeah, Bob.

Pig! You lousy

mongolOne of these days, we'll get you.

You catch me?Curse you?I'd like to kill

you. Come on, you. Hurry up there.

Right. Over there.

Right. Our leader is

merciful, and you are all released.

You may leave here just as soon as you

wish and return to your homes.

But go on. Go on.

Just hurry up and leave.

Don't you want to go?

Let's check them.

Hey, Princess, this one is yours.

This is the keep's.

This one's mine, and that one, too.

Brother, I won. I had one more than

you. Hmm

Oh, so that's it. You let me win.

Brother, that isn't playing fair.

Hey, Chief. Hey, Chief.

Liu Chen?Sir?

You made all the arrangements for

tonight. HuhNow

bring the girl up. It's all fixed.

You-- You weren't paying attention.

All right, come on. That's enough.

Didn't you?You worried about me?

Oh, God. Now, look. You promised me you

wouldn't be.

Well, I just can't help it.

I mean, you're not even fighting well.

All right, come on.

Of course. You wanted to stop.

Can you?How dare you?And why not?

You know well why not. Do I?

It's a dangerous mission.

Sue me.

When you get back, then we can get

married.

Sue May, listen to me.

Sue May.

Captain Chang. It's nearly time now.

Miss Sue better start out. Sir.

Sue me. I want us to

get married as soon as you get back.

Tinyu, if I don't get back,

I'd like you to find another girl. Please

promise me that. Don't say that.

Tell me, do you think that I have a good

chance?

Of course. You know, I've quite prepared

myself for death. I'm sure you have,

but you mustn't think like that. But

still.

I know. You hope I'll come back alive,

but promiseYou won't worry.

Your life must go on.

All right. But you promise, if

things get bad, then think of me.

I'll be here and waiting for you.

Mr. Ling. Mr. Ling,

it's time.

I must go now.

Good. Good

When you grow up, you'll fight the

Mongols and kill them.

Good.

Well, boy, your kung fu's good. Who

taught you?My granddad did.

I'm going to fight the MongolsOf course,

but practice hard, though. Umm

Listen, are you going to fight them?I'll

come with you.

Well, you see...

Hey, listen. Not this time. Wait till

you're a bit older, huhSir.

Good. Now I must get going. You carry on

here. I'll see you later.

I'm ready, General. You're a very brave

woman. It's a great honor to know you.

General, you mustn't.

Monsieur, we've made all the arrangements

as far as we can. You should be able to

get to him fairly easily. But still,

you must be extremely careful.

I remember that. I promise I will.

If I succeed, I'll make the signal as we

agreed, all right?Good. And as

soon as we get your signal here, we shall

then launch our attack on the Mongol

camp. Good. We'll just hope it

works. Wish me luck.

Guefang.

My child,

I just can't let you go to that terrible

Mongol

Guefang, say something.

Dad, you go back to work, or you'll have

nothing to sell. Go on. I'm all

right. Never mind the work.

Daughter, it's my fault.

I'm not strong enough to stop them. You

can't go. Grandpa, you can't go.

China is ruined.

If I'm ruined, too,Does that

matter?Quifan.

Quifan.

Quifan, what is it?

Get out. Get out. Leave me alone.

My child. Get out. Go out, father.

At the end of this lane. Go in from the

back.

No.

I... I'm sorry.

My God. We followed.

Wait.

Open up!

Go and open the door. Open

up!

You take the girl away.

Open up!

oh

Frankly Fung?

Frankly Fung?Are

you okay?

Old man. Yes?

Where's the girl?

She's inside.

HmmWell, now, my dear Miss Queen, why are

you wearing a veil in your face,

Oh, you know you'd be shy. Come on, then.

Let's have a little look at you, huhNo,

wait. Lu

Cheng, don't you feel ashamed.

Leave her to her misery.

You stupid old bitchI

shall teach you some manners.

Hold it. We can't waste time

here. Yeah, you're right. Yes, of course.

The chief is waiting for us. All right,

take it our way. Right.

Hey, howdy up there! The chief'simpatient!

You traitor.

Jinyu, if I don't get back,

then I want you to find another girl.

Please promise me.

How's that?I got you. Shumay!

Jinyu!

Do you think that I really have a good

chance?

Stop.

Savance?The girl's here.

Please get out now.

Put your hands up.

Now, dear, come on. Let's have a little

look under that plane of yours, huh

That's enough. The chief's waiting for

us. Hurry up. Come on.

Hey?Now

listen. When the chief's finished,

then you bring that girl to me. Aye

I'll reward you, all right?

Ms. Quay, the chief is asleep now.

Please go in.

Miss Boy, you come in.

HuhAnd so you're the

one who's been killing all my best spies,

huhThe famous fighter Sue Mei.

Get her! Don't kill her.

Good.

Right.

Very good.

Well, go get her.

Don't kill her.

Good. Miss Sue's throwing

knives are famous, and quite rightly so.

Useless. All useless. All

you so-called expert fighters. And you

can't even take one girl.

Quick, bring my chair.

Hurry.

HuhMiss Sue.

Well, you have one knife less you can use

now. You still want to fight?Huh

Kill her!

Hold it! Huh

I told you that I didn't want it killed

yet.

Get back.

General, it's a leg. Have some food.

I'm not hungry. You have it. Thanks.

Excuse me. Can I get in first?Do you mind?

Oh, sure. Go on.

A bit more. Uh,

it's a bit watery. Couldn't you give us a

bit more solid?What?Too watery?Yeah.

Right. I'll get you something more solid.

Thanks. Still, you may not like it.

I mean to say, horse shit tastes real

funny. Damn you. Come on.

Pin you. It's been quite a while.

I think-- I know.

Ready! Shoot!

Otha Lee. Right there!

Have that girl taken down. Sir! Uh,

General, I fixed it. Now send us a

nose by attention. Hmm

General, Mr. Ling has just read it out to

look for Miss Sue. He said he was getting

worried.

He taught us. No one comes in here.

Open it. Sure.

You're real tough, and you fight pretty

good. Still, this

time you've lost out.

The chief spared you. He's too soft.

Well, I'm not that soft. I'm not going to

let you live.

I must say, you've got plenty of nerve.

Right, let's have a contest.

Pretty good. At least I can see

now why you were chosen for this jobhere.

You're pretty good yourself. But if

you're that good, why are you scared?To

try to kill our general?Scared?Who

says I'm scared?Well, I think that you're

scared. I'll kill you!

Hold it.

Hey. Lock her up.

Look. I want to find her.

You get out. I see. You're soft on the

girl. Is that right?Hustly.

Listen.

She mustn't be harmed and treat her

well. Sure, of course.

What do you want?

I've come to see you. I know you.

I know what you want.

Just get out. I'm not like

you. You're a savage, a monster.

No sense of honor.

What was that?

Go away.

I'd like to know what a pure girl is

like. Get out!

Get out!

Now you be careful.

He's a fool. He likes her.

Well, it's his fault. She finally pushes

a knife in him. Princess, you mustn't

blame him. He's a war to fight. He's a

soldier. That's why he doesn't appreciate

how much you care for him.

He treats me like a child. In fact, I'm a

lot better than she is. Sure, she's

ugly, and you're pretty. And in

fighting, you're so much better than she

is. And she said I wouldn't dare to try

and kill her general. Stupid, stupid!

You're terrific at fighting. If you

wanted to kill him, why?You'd do it

easily. You're

damn right that I could.

Princess, what you gonna do?I'm

going for their general to kill him. Oh,

don't tell anyone. 'Cause if you do, I'll

have your head off. Got that?Yes.

General, I'd suggest we mount an attack

on the Mongol camp and get Miss Sue back

here, whether she's dead or alive.

We teach them a swift lesson at the same

time. They've got one coming to them.

Right. RightLet's turn them off. Right.

You know that. Right. And I

agree. If she's alive, we shall get her

back. General. General.

Hold it.

General, you'd lose many men. And you

can't afford that. Oh?You've

got a point. Give us your views, then.

All right.

Well, now, Mr. Ling's a loyal hero, and

his views cannot be disregarded, and

shouldn't. So then, if he considers

that a rescue attempt would be wrong,

then it probably would be. But still,

we simply can't abandon Monsieur, so I

will go and look for her.

And I'll bring her back here with some

luck. Loi Chun,

if you left, who'd defend the town?

After all these months here, your

strength's much reduced. It just isn't

worth it. I mean, to risk the

whole town now for the sake of one girl.

Because if they attacked in your absence,

this place just wouldn't last more than

five minutes.

General, Mr. Ling, I'll be the

one to search for Miss Soup.

Captain, I'm sorry, but you can't

go.

Kendall, it's nearly dawn. Get some rest.

It's all right. I'm waiting for

someone. Oh.

Ron Chin. Come out here and fight. I'll

give you a chance. No ambushes. Not

like Sue Mei, that sneaky killer.

Bon Zhen, come out!

Get up right.

You men, get back. Get

back.

And who are you?Ling Tin Yu.

Ah, so you're that one.

They say that you're a good fighter. All

right, let's see how good you are then.

Well, I'm not going to kill you. I've got

some definite plans for you. Don't

count your chickens.

Well, come on now. Let's start.

I'll fix you. I promise you.

HuhNot bad.

You bastard

Huh

For you! Oh,

that was pretty good.

Very good.

Well, all right. You watch.

General, a message for you.

General Ko, there's a message from Ho

Chao. The princess has just been

captured. What?

She went last night to try to kill

General Wang. That stupid bitch

General Wang, among all messengers here.

That's him. Sir?

Guards, bring the messenger.

You go tell your chief, I'm accepting his

deal. We shall meet tomorrow morning.

Nobody is to bring any weapons, just two

escorts apart from the hostages, and no

tricks. That understood?Sure, General.

You must be LinkedIn you. That's right.

And how are you?I'm

fine. And how is your General Wong?

Very well indeed. All right.

That's enough small talk. Let's get

going. Well, when I raise my hand, we'll

let both the girls go.

Hey, I'm behind my hand. If

you want, all right.

It's a trick.

Right hand.

You go get the girl, right?

Chamay, look out!

Chamay! Chamay!

My god, they've been injured.

Hurry, get the archers. Get back, you

man. Come on.

Captain Chang, get all your best archers

forward. Sir! Come on, you men!

Too late! Thanks!

Captain Chang, Sir. I'll hurt your men,

Sir.

Cute!

Cute.

Cute!

Let's go.

Hey, let's go see.

Bring him here!

Can't go in. I'm sorry. Get back. General!

Hurry up. Take him inside.

You men leave and close the door.

Can you?Can youCan you

Quick. Get me that medicine there. Right.

A

lot of blood there. I think they'll die.

Hey, we will see him! We will see him! We

will see! Get back! Come on, get back

there! My God, it's just too

damn quiet in there. That's really a bad

sign. Uh, it bled too much. I

think that it's really serious. Uh,

he can't die. He just can't.

I mean, that would finish us here. Dear

heaven, please help him now!

Ling Ting, you have just died. Huh

Ling Ting, you're dead?

We all have to be strong. Although Ling

is now dead, we still have to defend

Ho-Chao. We must be more strong,

more ready. We must form any more Ling,

now. All right. We must have a mourning

ceremony. I'll wait. No

one must know, only we hear. If the

people find out, morale will drop. Yes.

And the Mongols mustn't know.

Sure, sure

Drink up.

Imagine Linton, you falling for an old

trick like that. And it turned out to be

a fatal trick for him, too. He

wasn't expecting anything. And right now

he's cursing us in hell.

My brother should be arriving any day.

And I hear he's got some cannon. At least

a dozen.

Now that LinkedIn you is dead, Wang Jun

has lost his best man. So the town is

already as good as mine.

The old saying's true. Everything comes

to he who waits.

Listen, you're very lucky, I know.

Your brother and his men will soon join

up with you here. And then the whole

channel's finished. But still, it could

be costly, and you could lose a lot of

men. So I suggest you try

something else first. Ohh

What's on your mind?General Wang Ching

and I, we used to be friends.

It's possible I could get into surrender.

You think so?He's a good man, but

not very smart. And that's why

Ling Ting Yu did all the planning. But

now he no longer has Ling, and he must be

feeling desperate. Hmm

I'll go there tomorrow. I shall tell him.

He'll go free and his men. And he'll

pay him some money as well. And my guess,

right now, he'll snap the offer straight

up.

Yu Chang?Yes, sir. It's so

strange that in the one country, you find

heroes like Ling and treacherous bastards

of your kind.

And they can produce girls like Sue Mei.

Who can fight and look good, too. Eh

The Mongol Messenger!

General, how are you, huh

Lui Ching. Yes, sir?You dare

to come here, into my camp, when

for years you've been a traitor?Well,

just calm down.

I'm just following my chief's orders. In

fact, he means well. He offers you

your safety. Also, safety

for all your men, too, providing that you

surrender and offer no more resistance

here. Shut up! You

lousy, stinking traitor, you!

And my chief has been generous as well.

As well as safety, he offers more.

He says he'll pay you, too. General,

let me kill him. And feed his body to the

dogs, the damn traitor.

Lor Cheng, you can tell your chief that

we're not cowards here. Now get out of

here. Right, rightI

was thinking traitor.

Tell me now. Ling Ting Yu, I heard

he just died. Where's he buried?

HmmWell, Ling is dead. But how did you

know that?

We have ways of finding out all the

news.

A pity. Ling Ting Yu was a great fighter.

And men like him don't come off him. I

mean, he was a hero. A

great pity. Shut up! You're

going too far! Oh, no.

I mean all this. I really do, sir.

But still, he's gone now.

A great pity, but that's life. See?I'll

hold it! Hey, come here.

Come here.

All right, watch this.

Hey, just open up there, will you?

Open up. Right.

Come on, come on, get 'em! Right.

Come on, get 'em!

Huh

Any news?You're alive, ehI'm

still not scared of you. Lousy traitor,

you.

Right.

To the Mongol chieftain.

Right.

Yeah, no. Please spare

me, General. There's no pardon for

your crimes. Henschman,

stop. Now.

Hey, hey, hey, heyNow what is the list,

huhMust be a mistake. All right, just

go in. The general wants to see you.

But I'm just a hunter. Why should he want

me?He does. Go on.

Hey, hey, heyGive me some idea of what

this is about. Just go in. General Wong

will soon tell you. Go on.

General Wong. You're the best hunter in

town. That right?I guess so.

I say, you also have other talents that

you can skin animals very well.

Yes, that's right. I'm good at that. Any

animal, I can take a skin off. As neat as

you'll ever see. That's good.

Because I have a skin here that I want

removed. Sure. You just give me the

animal then, and I'll get started. In

fact, it-- Uh, but this skin is

different, though.

Uh, it's my skin. It's

him?Mmm, right.

This is the animal, all right?Just think

of him as a rat. We don't want all his

hide. Just the facial skin. And

then Mr. Ling will disguise himself and

kill the Mongo Chief, Mango. So

you do a good job. I'll pay well. All

right. It's a job I shall enjoy

doing. And for killing a traitor. There's

no charge. Good. That sort of

sentiment I like to hear. Please get up.

Sir. Captain. Sir. Bring me

lives in. Sir.

Bring the box in. No, please.

You just can't do this.

Shall I stop now?Hmm

Don't do this. Oh, please.

Sorry, but it's your own fault.

By tomorrow, you're just going to be a

bad memory. Well, most of

you.

Except for your facial skin.

I beg you, brother. You can't.

Please don't do it. You call me

brother. Your man.

Your man.

Tyee's head back.

No, don't, no, don't! Oh, please! No, no

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh! Din you?I'll wait for the good

news. General,

the two of us are old friends.

Death doesn't worry me very much.

If I don't kill him,You won't see

me again. Can you?General.

See you. See you.

Captain! Sir! Get the skin.

Now you take care. I will. I'll see you

later.

Yeah?

Message, sir. Hmm

Li Cheng has succeeded. HuhWang Qin

accepts the terms. He asked for only one

thing, the return of Su Mei. Li Cheng is

on his way back now. Here's Wang Qin's

letter, in which the terms are set out.

Good. Send a man, fetch the princess and

Su Mei, and we'll wait for Li Qiang. Sir.

General Wong, we're all ready. We can

leave. Good.

Listen, we must not fail in this. You all

realize that. I mean, if we should fail,

we're all dead. So then, fight like

you've never fought. Let's get

going. It's time now.

You, Cheng. Come in, come in.

Well now, it's been a tremendous success

for you.

can't believe him.

Hold it.

You aren't you, Chang. Linked in

you.

Hey!

HuhHow daring. But you'll pay for it with

your life. Game.

Rolling knife.

Can

you?

Brother,

you wouldn't listen,

I said. Remember,

that woman would kill you one

day.

Come on, young man. Hurry on.

The chief's dead. Let's go!

Too late.

Jin you. We did it.

Didn't we?Of course.

Sure we did. I'll take you home.

To you, General,

we'll get her to a doctor quickly. Sure.
