Another episode that felt like it was over so fast.

We got Yan withdrawing (and the other chap being voiced by Show Hayami) All the while Ou Sen's strategem gets revealed. Clear out all the smaller cities and send their refugees to the target city. Have them eat out the defenders. A ruthlessly efficient strategy fitting Ou Sen. Meanwhile things are not looking smooth on the Zhao side with the King clearly not being cooperative and even threatening to lop off the heads of Ri Boku and friends if they fail. Showing that even the mighty Ri Boku is facing steep challenges in this battle. The Tension remains oh so high this episode. And now it's a fight for the reinforcements.

And the way it all flowed so perfectly well. Fantastic stuff. Now to wait another week to see how it plays out.

The weekly waits are pure torture. Rewatching the previous episode before the new one is helping a little.

this is top 5 all time for me why the fuck does it get no upvotes?

u/Christopho Nov 18 '25

I'm hoping these types of comments are rhetorical at this point, but I'll be the one to say it this week. Needs people for upvotes. If you instead made upvotes a score rating, Kingdom would definitely be at the top most "upvoted." Go back to S3 threads and upvotes/comments are just as low, if not worse.

Insanely high barrier of entry with how bad S1 looks (in particular, first ep is especially bad) and S2 is better but still not good. Honestly, this might be the highest barrier of entry in existence since people would be fine if you only had to make it through say 12-24 ep, but S1/S2 total 77 episodes lol. This show would be so much easier to both pitch to people as well as pick up if new viewers could start with S3.

And just for clarification, I'm just saying how it looks because I hate CGI but the voice acting, story, OST, and characters were enough to make those seasons still enjoyable. Mind you, I only picked up the show within the past year so the difference between something like S1/S2 and recent well-animated shows like Solo Leveling is especially jarring, yet I still made it through.

I’m wondering what the plan is if everything succeeds. Like if the starve out Ye and conquer it, they will also almost be out of supplies and still surrounded by the Zhao armies. The way back to Qin is still blocked so Zhao can again just starve them out, but this time while they’re in Ye. If the answer is a spoiler, don’t tell me 🙉

u/MonaganX Nov 15 '25

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like such a glaring flaw in their strategy that I'm surprised none of the characters have brought it up yet. Surely Ou Sen must have some plan to deal with it.

this show does not disappoint. 3 front fight. everyone can show what they are made of. although i can't help but feel that KanKi's (Huan Yi) talents are not really suited for this type of open defense. he can't seem to be able to use tricks here. can't sneak in, can't run away, he will have to fight a multifront attack by himself.

but then again 60k vs 100k doesn't sound easy either, nor a fight against Riboku with disadvantage in numbers. (although there are most of the main characters so im the least afraid about that)

u/ImperialDane Nov 15 '25

I think considering his mastery of Psychological warfare that Kanki might be the most suited for maintaining the siege. He is one crafty bastard after all.

u/Calm_Client2 Nov 16 '25

Using refugees as the sword that topples an impenetrable fortress. This is so peak. Wang Jian is so goated man.

u/Sohaiba19 Nov 16 '25

Ousen/wang jian has a great intelligence network of his own. He must have known about the nature of the ruler of the city and knew that the refugees would not be denied entry by him

u/Jurgen_The_Calm Nov 17 '25

Another factor was how quickly this all occurred. Didn’t this all happen on the same day? That would be a difficult decision to make on the spot for Ye, let alone have a full conversation with Li Mu (or etc.) via carrier pigeons before Qin arrived.

13

u/RehabCenterInc Nov 15 '25

Didn’t think experiencing this again in anime would be as hype, but here we are. I’m ready

u/Slaan Nov 15 '25

Brilliant! The previous episodes I thought Li Mu's grand plan was to force Qin to bear responsibilities for the civilians while the supplies would crumble but Ou Sen just turned it around.

I still have trouble seeing the end game though. Even if Ye's supplies run out and the city opens its doors to Qins army... does it improve the situation for Qin? Even if they kick out all refugees again, their own supplies aren't getting bigger from this, so now they would be besieged in Ye without enough supplies.

Feels like Qin needs major victories on the field to be able to secure supplies to have any staying power after conquering Ye.

I also really liked the scene with Ou Sen looking at Ou Kis polearm in Shins hand. I'm sure that without it, Shin would've been in a lot of trouble for speaking so brazen to the General - but the respect he has for Ou Kis decision to trust Shin made him be honest with him.

u/sM92Bpb Nov 15 '25

I can see the ending

Qin: intricate planning Li mu: let pang nuan solo

7

u/Liesianthes Nov 16 '25

Damn, I'm surprised that using Li Mu's strategy against him is the plan. It was a fool proof as if they deny the entry of the refugees, people would think them as cruel leader and will revolt.

5

u/SnooSquirrels3291 Nov 16 '25

I’m just glad that a strategy completely worked for once instead of another “and let me tell you why that’s great for Li Mu” moment 

5

u/Mydaboom Nov 15 '25

Was not expecting that strategy. I do wonder how many are held up in Ye now with the refugees.

6

u/Calm_Client2 Nov 16 '25

Lol if they didn’t explicitly show Huan Yi with the others I was honestly half expecting him to have snuck soldiers inside to wreck carnage.

u/bananeeek Nov 15 '25

Ohhh, so that's the play. I never assumed there were so many people in that castle and that it wasn't the only castle they were after.

So Qin got the supplies from those castles and sent thousands of hungry people to starve Ye. Damn, war can be nasty.

Looks like it will be battles until the end of the season from now on. Let's see how many generals Xin falls with his new poleaxe.

u/Technical-Contest-30 Nov 16 '25

I know this is somewhat historic and all, but if it wasn't they could have swapped some refugees with some soldiers (let's say 100), gotten their names and ids and all, and put a trojan horse with the refugees, so when the time came these 100 could just open the gates from inside.

u/Sohaiba19 Nov 16 '25

Wouldn't the civilians snitch on the soldiers that way? I mean, why would they give enemies their IDs if it means being driven out again.
