Killing Stroke Detachment is the 530th chapter of the Kingdom manga, written and illustrated by Yasuhisa Hara.
Summary
The plan to kill Ki Sui is to attack him from the center while Ma Kou and Mou Ten are distracting him from the front and back. Instead of trying for a sneak attack, which Shin determines that Ki Sui is bound to notice anyway, Shin prepares to just charge in openly and orders his men to raise the Hi Shin Unit flag. Ki Sui’s commanders notice the 600 to 1000 charging towards them with the flag of “Hi”, identifying themselves as the Hi Shin Unit. Ki Sui orders a retreat to the final defensive line on the hill, which will mean that they will not be able to escape if they are surrounded.
At this time, the remnants of Ryuu Tou’s soldiers, around 200 cavalries, offer to deal with the Hi Shin Unit's attack. Meanwhile at Ba Tei’s battlefield in the frontlines, news of the Hi Shin Unit’s attack and Ryuu Tou’s men defending against them has reach him. Ba Tei is unable to assist them as he himself is barely able to deal with Ma Kou’s attacks but wishes them luck as he asks his late brother to watch over them. Back over, Ryuu Tou's soldiers smash into the Hi Shin Unit but Kyou Kai makes short work of them as the Hi Shin Unit pushes on. Both the Qin allies at the front and back notices the Hi Shin Unit’s appearance and starts to make the final push to Ki Sui himself.
The Qin armies surrounded Ki Sui after breaking through their outer formations. While someone suggests to Ki Sui that they should retreat, Ki Sui rejects the idea as doing so will mean Ba Tei’s demise as well as breaking their current formation which is essential for their secret weapon. At this time Ri Boku suddenly appears with a unit of soldiers and pierces Ma Kou’s throat.
