Summary
Ou Ki asked Shin if he is willing to make a bet on who is going to win this fight. The instinctual or the strategical general. Heki asks Shin to forget this and to get back into formation. He tells everyone that they have to concentrate on how they are going to slay the Wei general. He then asks Ou Ki to stop with these jokes. Ou Ki tells Heki however that this isn't a joke. This is a eternal theme among the generals. On a other hill the Haku Ki Sai camp, notices that the Kyuu Gen got captured by Qin. Haku Ki Sai is surprised to see Go Kei us a spear wall formation.
