100 things I learned watching 'An Empress and the Warriors'


#1 Trained men can run as fast as a horse at full speed

#2 To unhorse someone, just grab the horse head and twist it until both horse and horsemen fall on the ground

#3 An almost-trained girl warrior can avoid darts while being an a gallopping horse

#4 If your king receive an arrow in the chest, just let him alone making his battleplan with mud on face and armor. If he has said his last will, then the rest is unimportant.

#5 If you disagree with your almost-dying king, kill him by yourself before he dies naturally (for more dramatic effect, so that he really knows why he die, Gladiator-style)

#6 In the middle of a battle with harsh rain and mud, just aim the opposing king with your crossbow - the king and all the main generals will flee the battlefield but the battle will continue until the generals have a chit-chat with the king and decide what to do next, and come back to the battlefield almost unchanged.

#7 A really good warrior receiving an arrow and two spears is still able to defeat a dozen other warriors without any difficulty.

#8 When you're about to kill your enemy, always stop for a second and say something really stupid so that your enemy has a chance to grab a nearby spear and trow it in your throat at the last moment.

#9 When rain is falling on your loved one, rush to her in the rain and soak her - but stay in the rain with her...

#10 If your generals betray you, just downgrade them and let them free.
Maybe the next time they will be more lucky and some more interesting twists may happen... (life is too boring without some power-sick unreliable generals)

Feel free to ad your own, there are so many lessons left.
