The Qin Dynasty is engaged in a fierce battle with the Wei Kingdom over the new strategic point of Bukyong, which has become a new strategic point after the battle.
General Teng summons Nobu's Feixin Corps and Wang Peng's Jade Phoenix Corps, but the Qin forces find themselves in trouble with the superior military strategist, General Wu Fengming of the Wei forces.

In order to overcome the situation, the Qin forces decided on a strategy proposed by Wang Bin, in which the Jade Phoenix Corps, the Feixin Corps, and the Luk Ao Mi Army under Teng's command would "simultaneously enter the headquarters of the Wei Army with three armies.
