During the Battle of Bayou, the Mou Bu Army took part in the expedition to stop the advance of the Zhao army, led by general Hou Ken. Mou Bu was appointed vice general of the Qin army under great general Ou Ki, responsible for the vanguard of the army. Mou Bu Army launched an attack head-on against the Zhao cavalry and managed to break through their formation but was tricked by general Ri Haku's retreating tactics and eventually cornered. If it wasn't for Ou Ki's intervention their fate would be complete destruction.
During the Battle of Kankoku Pass, the Mou Bu Army was set at the left of the walls against the Kan Mei Army. The sole purpose and main objective of the Mou Bu Army were to lure out the opposing enemy general Kan Mei and slay him. Shou Hei Kun Qin's chief of military affairs had a strategy in mind that would help the army to achieve this. They would send out 2 units, first unit led by commander Heki and Shou Kaku to attack the left flank and second unit led by his lieutenant-commander Rai Ki to attack the right flank of the Kan Mei Army. They would deploy an Echelon Formation to create pressure waves for each attack wave the army sends out, which will gradually pull back the Kan Mei army. This tricked Kan Mei to send out his generals and reserves to reinforce the flanks of his army which led to his center being low on manpower. But this was exactly what Mou Bu wanted because as soon as he caught a glimpse Kan Mei's HQ, he would then lead a charge with the main force of his army of 5000 soldiers to attack the center head-on. Kan Mei who noticed Mou Bu movements sent out his elite unit Kyoubou Great Cavalry Corps of 10,000 elite soldiers to counter the charge of the Mou Bu Army. But they proved to be no match for Mou Bu as he ripped them apart and fought his way through and the unit was defeated. Kan Mei then set out to face Mou Bu, while their armies fought each other the 2 generals would clash in a decisive duel which would determine the outcome of the whole battle itself. After a hard fight Mou Bu eventually defeated Kan Mei and his army gained the upper hand, this resulted in the Chu Army being defeated and scattered.
Unlike other army members, Mou Bu's closest commanders wear horned themed helmets.
Strength[]
The Mou Bu Army is famous for their great general's tremendous brute strength and devastating combat skills. The soldiers are fiercely loyal and follow Mou Bu's charges against enemy armies, with a specialty of breaking enemy defenses.
However, during the Battle of Kankoku Pass, the Mou Bu Army demonstrated highly strategical battling maneuvers as they performed a double Echelon Formation attack that worked as a decoy for the main force upcoming charge.
