After breakingthrough , shin army and kyoukai army supposed to arrive to Kantan with full force , otherwise why mouten spread his army to block zhao army ..

However, from total of 50k only 10.5 k arrived (10k SHU + 500 Kai army vanguard) ..

where did the 40k vanished ? who knows . .!

Actually Hara wanted to create a very desperate situation for hsu..

Hara calcucaled how many zhao troops he can gather by taking 80% of zhao armie of that region .. the result was 120k troops .

if hsu arrives with 50k , it will not be that desperate situation to encercle them with 120k ! it is hs after all , they should manage to breakthrough the siege by their own , it is just 1:2,2 situation

Hara dreams about big plot with at least 1:10 situation .. BUT it is impossible to gather 500k zhao troops ..

so the solution of HARA found was to reduce the numbre of hsu arriving to kantan from 50k to 10.5k .. 10k to 120k that's 1:12 ! yeah that's what I want for my plot..

but Hara sama that will cause some issues :

1. why 40k didn't come with the leaders ? NO WORRIES , ILL FIGURE OUT A GOOD REASON LATER
2. ten will looks a total idiot for sieging kantan with just 10k : ILL SACRIFICE HER, I DONT CARE
3. mouten will looks idiot for not immediatly noticing the disappearance of 80% of zhao armies.. : NO WORRIES , ILL FIX HIS IMAGE LATER BY MAKING HIM SHIN SAVER IN STYLE
4. hsu will looks totally unprofessional by not having any scout around while assaulting capital deep in ennemy lands , especially that they have a special tribe that excel in scouting : I DONT CARE , FORGET ABOUT SCOUT AND THAT TRIBE

I ONLY NEED TO MAKE A GOOD PLOT AND ENJOY IT

should I upload all the panels ? or wait until admin uploads it ?

lot of us ( including myself) were legitimately complaining about weird events during the current arc such as :

- why HSU rushed toward kantan after breaking through instead of flanking

- why they reached kantan with just 10k , where is the rest of hsu army

-same for kyoukai, why kyoukai army come as well with just few troops

- where the hell is yokoyoko army

etc

So all the story begins with mouten strategy :

once breaking through , hsu then kai army will rush toward kantan to lure riboku attention , mouten army will try to block riboku path and slowingdown him for as long as possible. while matching toward kantan , hsu and kai armies will progressevily send mutiples small detachements to the south ( trying to be as much unoticed as possible) .. the hsu army will progressively decrease in numbers from 35k to 10k. kai army the same from 15k to 5k.
those multiples detachments will meet up and regroup with yokoyoko and raku'a armies . fusing into huge army of 80k lead by yokoyoko.

they will attack the rear of the armies facing yotanwa .. yotanwa army led by the 100eye tribe will time their counter attack with the arrival of yoko yoko .. encercling banana sama ssj and hakuku armies , for total annhilation or surrender.

so the plan was to use riboku obssession with Shin and the imminent danger of attacking the capital to lure riboku while the main attack was in yotanwa front .

shin got surprised and encercled because riboku arrived much earlier than expected .. shin was suppossed to start the siege , toy a bit the western wall defending force then retreat . mouten was supposed to hold riboku as long as possible , and in case riboku managed to break through , mouten messanger would notify shin to retreat .. but as we know riboku sneaked his army without mouten noticing in time , leading the current hard situation for hsu.

so that's why shin / ten aren't expecting to get help from yokoyoko or the rest of their armies ( they are in yotanwa front) and that's why mouten and shin are only focusing and breaking the encerclement and retreating shin

what if Kyou kai went to study strategies in SBK school instead of (or with ) ten ? !! lol we would get incredible strong fighter strategiest ! that is worth of leading the hishin way more that shin and would show us amazing strategies in actions .. RIP TEN

current situation : hishin 10k in front of the wall besieged by 100k +riboku + 5generals and outside the siege : kyoukai 5k in front of kusui +batai 40k

futei seeing shin frozen at place , got greedy ( i wanna be the one who kill it and get all the glory ) , he order the troops to pass by shin to block any help , and he rush to shin . shin eyes closed getting flashbacks of ouki , tou , renpa , houken ... then open his eyes : BERSERK mode activated ( similar to tou berserk) , one glaire mouvement and futei+his horse cut in 2 in scenematic moment . furious the zhao troops engage shin to avenge futei , yet shin start the berserk rush . sending troops flying very high ... every glaive mouvement and troops are cut and flying .. shin rush straight to riboku position without even turning to his units or giving any order.. seeing that , hishin cavalry get mega excited and they rush forward trying to catch up with shin .. ten took control of the infantry and trying to take a defensive formation..

Riboku keeps his calm after loosing futei and immediatly react : he send chokotsu to encercle and engage hishin infantry ( order was clear : they have no cavarly, encercle them and slowly eat them until totaly anhillation)

kyoukai with her special eyes saw what happened from far away or more precisely felt it and instantly she understood whats happening . she wispered something to kyourei , then kai engaged aggressively with batai army and Rei took control of the rear army and engage with kisui ..

furious bafuuji wanted to go for shin , but riboku stopped him ( halt , stay calm , let shin and his cavalry advance even more , soon they will be deep enough .we know his destination he is coming my way,lets prepare a trap. under riboku orders , Infantries took the special anti cavalry defensive position . shin keeps advancing , yet suddently sees the flame on his left and he change course just before entering into riboku trap.. he keeps advancing on the left then he correct his trajectory again toward riboku position ..

Riboku understood that shin instinct are on high alert .. he ordered his troops to prepare the typhoon formation to try to trap him , however shin was getting close and they needed to buy some time . thus riboku sent his elite cavarly to stop shin . however berserk shin and berserk hishin cavalry were unstoppable ..

"So that's what happens when you encercle a lion and leave no room for escape " says riboku

"do you see hishin is slightly in advance compared to his troops , and our elite cavalry despite failing to stop qin they increased the gap between shin and his cavalry .. this is our opportunity : Kotsuminhaku and bafuuji go for him together and engage simultianously and bring me shin head .."

kaine advanced with them , riboku tried to stop her but she told him : " if engaging ith 2 is good , then attacking shin from 3angles will be better . dont worry I swear to come back alive . "

back to ten and infantry : the defensive position is solid , however chokotsu is pushing them hard and arrows from the wall hitting their backs .. situation looking hopeless , but from nowhere an incredibly strong arrow beheaded chokotsu ! sou tan has back to action . chocked chokotsu troops stop pushin and fall in despair .. ten use the opportunies to push them back and move hishin infantries out of wall archers range..

Riboku received the bad news , but he tries to focus on shin ( i can take care of those rats later on , shin must die now and its over)

the trio close in to shin Kotsuminhaku from the right bafuuji from the front and kaine from the left, and in a synchronized moment they launch their attacks from 3 angles , garo seing what's going to happens screaming " shinnnnn" but he is 40 metres behind him , nothing to do , just hoping shin somehow manage to block the un blockable attack ..

in the same sec, an indetectible arrow ( free for kill intend) hit the neck of Kotsuminhaku .. actually sou jin was mounted by horse in the middle of hishin cavarly , waiting for an opportunity to kill zhao general , his best choice was to wait until getting vision of riboku but seeing shin in danger , jin couldn't stay idle.

shin use the opportunity to counter attack with full strenght .. in one mouvement , his glaive break bafuuji sword cut his neck and then reach kaine she tries to block it with her 2 swords , both swords broken and her chest got hit , she falls in the ground , blood everywhere and she is half dead .

Riboku shocked ! he can't believe his eyes . in one sec he lost 3 generals among them his beloved wife ( she is not dead but he thinks so )..

"RIBOKU SAMA RIBOKU SAMA urgent report from behind.. Batai got slain by koykai , and kisui fall down by kyou rei "

" say what ! !! " pikatshu face XD " riboku felt everything is black , he lost his 7 generals his wife included in a situation where he was extreemly advantaged .. how comes it turn like this .. 15k doing this to my 140k army ..

then he remembered his duty to save zhao as the general commander ! he woke up and decided to delay his grief/mourning for later.

he looks around ,shin is closing in , zhao troops are desperated , some frozen , some of them started letting their weapons down ...

he scream and makes a speath to rive their morale even a bit remembering them about their duties and their families that they need to protect ... then he ordered the typhoon trap to start as riboku himself the center ( that trap used against duke hyou)

but shin took a war-horn and bow strongly then he changed his path again and head toward the rear of the zhao army and ultimetely breakthrough it and join kyoukai that herself breakthrough kusui/batai defeated armies ..

riboku shocked what !" he was not after my head ? this was his chance to try to takes me !did he just abondaned ten and the infantry ??!! "

then suddently riboku totally frozen ! he understand what's happening , more precisely he saw what's happening . a huge army appeared behind them : 30k leftover of shin+koukai armies that didnt come to kantan +40k yokoyoko + 20k kanki merceinairies led by moroon .. shin and kai joined them ,they encercle zhao troops and immediatly started the attack ..

actually , shin attacking kantan was a trap to lure rikobu , they hided most of hishin troops +yokoyoko + moroon and were waiting the signal ( war horn ) from shin to attack ..

but when riboku arrived , shin and ten were shocked because riboku bring an army way bigger than what they expected ( he bring 140k , they expected 50 to 60k ) .thats why shin didnt gave the signal immediatly but rushed toward zhao , his goal was to kill few generals and to make chaos inside the ranks of zhoa so that the real attack will not fail. ( he performed much better than himself expected lol taking all the generals and zhao ranks are a total mess , they were focusing on stoping shin , blocking his way , making anti cavalry trap , the typhoon trap etc ..

so the result was 120k ( what is left from the 140k zhao troops) are without generals beside riboku , their ranks are chaotics , their moral is below 0 and they got attacked with 90k highly motivated troops ..

their fate was settled , it was a totally one side fight ..

however the one eyed general in kantan wall saw what's happening and he opened the gate of kantan , the desperated zhao troops rushed to enter the capital , ten infantry could do nothing to stop that mass pressure , riboku personnal troops forced him to retreat and carried him inside kantan ( " riboku sama you are the only hope zhao has , you need to survive " )

shortly after riboku entered the capital , the gate closed ( in fear of qin troops invasion ..

in total : 30k zhao troops entered the capital , 60k died and 60k capitalized ..

we know what happens next : kaine was captured alive and treated , and riboku was executed by the king for his big fealure

of course Hara is a pussy , he will never do such a scenario ! jut my imagination

if we feed an AI agent with all the chapters of kingdom , and annexe with it the records of the grand historian (Shiji) .. then we ask it to imagine and generate 400 chapters as the continuation of the manga until the end .
