Back to the Kingdom characters page.
Qin's mighty army is one of the strongest in China, rivaled only Chu's military, conquering vast swathes of land in the golden age and continuing to gain great military success today under Lord Changping's guidance. Qin's strength lies in having more capable generals than most other states, as well as having the strongest soldiers.
Qin commanders and soldiers not displayed here are probably in the relevant subfolders.

Generals
Duke Biao
Duke Biao (Biao Gong)
Japanese Pronunciation: Duke Hyou
Voiced by: Shiro Saito (Japanese), Brent Mukai (English, Season 03 onwards)
A ferocious and powerful Qin Great General who leads the Qin army during Xin's first campaign. Duke Biao is an instinctual general- that is, one who uses intuition to constantly adapt to even the smallest changes in the battlefield.
Stats: Strength |95|, Leadership |95|, Knowledge |70|
- Blood Knight: He admits to Xin that he fights for the sake of fighting itself.
- Cool Mask: His helmet doubles as one.
- Gut Feeling: He is a so-called instinctual general, meaning that he is capable of predicting enemy movements beforehand.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he may be a monstrosity on the battlefield, he does show signs of kindness off it.
- Leeroy Jenkins: He looks like this, but as it turns out, every attack he does has a purpose.
- The Obi-Wan: Takes a liking to Xin during the Qin invasion, seeing Xin as the son he never had.
- Old Soldier: He seems to be at least in his fifties, and is still one of Qin's most-feared commanders.
Great General Zhang Tang
Zhang Tang
Japanese Pronunciation: Chou Tou
Voiced by: Jin Urayama (Japanese), Dave B. Mitchell (English, Season 03 onwards)
A veteran general who fought for the Qin army for 50 years. He and Huan Yi work together to attack the Han's HQ during the Siege of Hangu Pass.Stats: Strength |86|, Leadership |90|, Knowledge |88|
- Badass Normal: Has no outrageous superhuman capabilities compared to most other generals in the series. What he actually had is simply skill and experience honed by his very long service.
- Blood from the Mouth: The poison he subjected to was meant to induce uncontrollable hemorrhage to its victims and so he ended up as this trope taken up a notch.
- Character Death: After killing Cheng Hui, he finally succumbs to the poison Cheng Hui infected him with.
- Determinator: Even when under the effects of Cheng Hui's poison he still manages to slay Cheng Hui.
- It Has Been an Honor: Said this as a farewell to his troops before he climbed down the walls.
- Old Soldier: He's about 65 and he can mow down enemy soldiers like the best of them.
- Taking You with Me: Opted to climb down so he could bring the fight to the enemy rather than simply die of poison atop the walls. That he ended up killing Cheng Hui, the very person who poisoned him, was a nice bonus.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Huan Yi.
Great General Meng Wu
Meng Wu
Japanese Pronunciation: Mou Bu
Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki (Japanese), Luis Bermudez (English, Season 03 onwards)
One of the Four Pillars of Lü Buwei. He has the reputation of currently being the strongest warrior in all of Qin. He's also the father of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, as well as the son of Meng Ao.
Stats: Strength |99|, Leadership |90|, Knowledge |83|
- Badass Family
- The Brute or The Big Guy: Easily the strongest of Lü Buwei's Four Pillars. With the Four Pillars dissolving with the defeat of Lü Buwei, he now holds the position of The Big Guy amongst Qin's generals.
- Carry a Big Stick
- Character Development: While he was always talented at warfare, Meng Wu was initially impulsive and looked down on strategy, believing himself unstoppable and Great General Wang Yi a relic of the past. A crushing defeat in Mayang and witnessing Wang Yi's might triggers a great change within him, calming his spirit and causing him to gain great respect for the fallen Great General.
- Defeating the Undefeatable: Slew Han Ming, an undefeated monster who defeated one of the Six Great Generals and held the greatest service record in China, cementing his promotion to Great General.
- Determinator: His fight during the first Qin-Zhao battle led to him being pin-cushioned with arrows, as well as losing his horse, and he still wouldn't give in.
- Difficult, but Awesome: During the Coalition War, Meng Wu uses the Assault Echelon, a rare tactic that few Generals have the ability to pull off because so few lack the skill to keep up the momentum. Thanks to his monstrous strength, he can command his troops into using this strategy, which allows him to defeat the enemy commander.
- Dumb Muscle: Wang Yi initially considers him to be this, but quickly changes his mind when Meng Wu displays a great understanding of the battlefield. Meng Wu isn't so much incapable of strategy but rather simply prefers a straightforward approach.
- Fatal Flaw: Meng Wu's inferiority complex to Wang Yi and the Six Great Generals causes him to impulsively charge into a trap to avoid losing his chance of claiming Pang Nuan's head to Wang Yi, which ultimately costs Qin the battle of Mayang.
- Four-Star Badass
- Hot-Blooded: Switches between this and The Stoic.
- The Juggernaut: In military terms. Once his army gets charging, they absolutely cannot be stopped.
- Large and in Charge: One of the largest characters in the series.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Had a reputation for this. His witnessing of Wang Yi's death led to him changing his ways.
- Libation for the Dead: Upon the death of his father Meng Ao, reminiscing of their past.
- Papa Wolf: Though he doesn't show it, he does care for his sons. Han Ming found this out the hard way.
- Perpetual Frowner: In contrast to father and eldest son, who both smile a lot.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Besides his affiliation with Lü Buwei, he is a loyal servant of Qin. He ultimately proves to be little underling at all, valuing his military exploits far more than Lü Buwei's politicking.
- Unstoppable Rage: Goes ballistic on Han Ming after the latter cuts down Meng Tian. He then proceeds to cleave off part of Han Ming's face before smashing his head in.
- World's Strongest Man: Strives to be this. After defeating Great General Han Ming he may well hold the title, the other contender for it being Pang Nuan. Of course, now that Pang Nuan is dead, by Xin’s hand no less, he may well be there already.
