Story

Western Zhao Invasion Arc
Ma Kou made his official appearance when the army arrived at Retsubi. He was eager to capture the gateway of Zhao's inner cities, but Ou Sen decided on the Hi Shin Unit and Yo Tan Wa Army to take down the city instead.
During the Battle at Shukai Plains, Ma Kou is in charge of the left flank of Qin, but he places his army with the central army. When the Ki Sui Army is ordered to wipe out the decoy of 5000 men of the Gaku Ka Unit, Ma Kou ambushes them, with several wave attacks, giving a big hit to Zhao.
With Ba Tei, who is counterattacking Ma Kou's division, Ki Sui is starting to fight back. But the Ma Kou division is still pressuring the Ki Sui Army, giving time for the Gaku Ka unit to regroup and attack from a different angle. When the Hi Shin and the Gaku Ka units attack the Ki Sui HQ in order to destroy the right flank of Zhao, Ma Kou sends in the rest of his elite troops. But with this, he gives an opening to Ri Boku who ambushes him and his HQ. Ma Kou's neck is then pierced by Ri Boku's sword while his glaive is held by one of his commanders. While mortally wounded, Ma Kou tries to slash at Ri Boku before the latter severs Ma Kou's sword arm and his head with a single blow.
