Hou Mei's Hand is the 276th chapter of the Kingdom manga.
Summary[]
Kankoku Pass[]
While both armies are exchanging arrows, a change occurs on the battlefield. The Wei great general Go Hou Mei brings forth a siege tower in order to reach the top of the wall. It is directed to the HQ of Qin general Chou Tou, who tries to set it on fire with fire arrows. But the wood is soaked in water, so it does not catch fire. When the tower comes closer to the wall, it is clear, that even if it is oversized it still does not reach the top. General Chou Tou laughs at the Wei army and says, that no enemy was able to set foot on the walls of Kan Ko Ku pass for over a hundred years. When the tower is at the bottom of the walls, the engineers drop the wooden cover boards and reveal counterweights. These are used to pull up the extension, and with this extension, they finally manage to reach the top of the wall. Before the Qin can destroy it the first Wei soldiers are already climbing over the edge and defend it.
