Chapter 409

Episode 409. Late Regret (2)

“Yes. In my opinion, continuing the fight here now could be a bigger weakness for us. It seems to be the best thing to prepare for a land battle after sending our remaining ships to the port of Kang Seung-hyeon.”

Upon hearing Zhuge Kun’s words, Sun Ce gritted his teeth.

If it was Jegalgeun, I wondered if there was something else ingenious, but this time it seems that even that is not possible.

“I’m calling the principal.”

Just then, one of the servants rushed in.

“Speak.”

“It is said that at dawn this morning, all the soldiers of the Ilnam Army returned and entered the capital city.”

“okay! You’re here! It’s worth fighting for now!”

Although he lost money by not listening to Jegalgeun in the water battle, on the other hand, he also benefited greatly by listening to Jegalgeun.

Therefore, now the number of soldiers should be seen as many.

“Since the soldiers must be tired from coming a long way to the capital, it will be a worthwhile fight if they spend some time here and return to the capital for a defensive battle.”

Nosik interjected with a happy face and opened his mouth, and Jegalgeun shook his head.

“We have more soldiers, so there is no need to insist on a defensive war.”

“right. In the current situation, there is no need to return to the castle. We just have to fight here and wait for the troops from the capital to come.”

When Sun Ce was happy, Zhuge Kun carefully opened his mouth.

“The main enemy will not yet know that all of our soldiers have returned. Therefore, it would be better for us to fight Daebu Hwa’s army, retreat slowly, return to the capital, and cut off Daebu Hwa’s supply route while taking out the soldiers from the capital.”

“Cut off the supply route?”

“Yes, if you bite the ship with Kang Seung-hyeon’s muzzle and fire up the soldiers of the capital city to attack Daebu Hwa’s youngchae on the other side of the river, you can do a lot of damage. In fact, the troops here are enough to go back to the capital and defend it.”

“As expected, Jegal is a soldier. What do you think, old soldier?”

“I also think that Jegal’s strategy is reasonable. Although the soldiers of Hwadaebu suffered great damage, their morale was high because they occupied half of the port. If we lure the enemy and cut off the supply route, the army of Grandfather Hua will have no choice but to return to Hefei.”

“If we let the soldiers who cut off the supply route occupy the port here without becoming a crowd, it will be difficult for Hua Daebu to return to Hefei. Then... Maybe the Lord of Fire will be captured by the Duke of Zhou.”

Sun Ce’s eyes lit up at Zhuge Geun’s words.

It occurred to me that if the plan was followed, I might really be able to catch the fireman.

“It is said that you can catch the godfather of fire... Yes, if you catch the godfather of fire, you can conquer the world. Woe Godfather made a big mistake! You should have brought all your forces with you to deal with me. You dare to underestimate this Son Che of the world by only bringing 500,000 troops!”

After patting Zhuge Kun on the shoulder, Sun Ce looked at the generals and tacticians around him.

“Listen, everyone.”

“Please name me. main ball.”

“The fact that all the soldiers of the leader have returned is something that the enemy should never know about. So don’t say anything to the soldiers, but just do what you normally do and fight the enemy and slowly retreat.”

“I take orders.”

“Goong.”

“Your lord.”

“You must have heard of Zhuge Lieutenant’s plan, so run to the capital now and secretly move the soldiers to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port.”

“I take orders.”

After Sun Ce gave some more orders, he prepared to fight the Huabu army.

“Wouldn’t it be time for all of the governor’s troops to return by now?”

The painter also tilted his head at Gahu’s question.

“Even if I think about it, the leader’s forces should join in today and the enemy’s strength should greatly increase, but somehow there is no sign of that!”

Eulji made an expression to the fireman not to worry.

“Bujasama Goong’s bookkeeper has come.”

“Stop by.”

When Gaoong came in, Sun Quan asked about the battle situation at Wanling County Pogu.

“How is the situation in Wanling County?”

“We sunk many enemy ships under the banner of General Jegal, but in the end, we were unable to overcome the massive offensive and the port of Eochamhyeon was taken away.”

“Hey, that’s a big deal! So soon the enemies will come to this city?”

“The port was taken away, but we turned the remaining military ships to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port, and it is also geographically advantageous, so we won’t be pushed back easily.”

“Then I can buy myself a little more time to prepare. By the way, what did the late tactician, who should be by his side assisting my older brother, do all this far?”

“The Duke of Zhou ordered me to take 100,000 of the soldiers returning from Jiaozhou and join the naval forces at the port of Kangseunghyeon.”

“Send 100,000 to Kang Seung-hyeon Pogu? Aren’t there too many troops to protect the muzzle?”

“I’m not sending it to protect it, but to attack the stronghold of Daebu Hwa built across the port of Eochhamhyeon.”

“Ohh~ That’s a great trick! So, did they tell you to send the rest of the soldiers to Eochhamhyeon?”

“no. He told the remaining soldiers to remain in the city and prepare for the siege battle that will come soon.”

“Tttt brother is looking at Godfather Hwa too easily.”

“yes? What do you mean?”

“Daddy Hua is not an idiot, and he knows that troops have returned from Jiaozhou, but what will he think if he doesn’t send any of them to the battlefield?”

In an instant, Goong’s eyes widened.

“ah! You must be suspicious.”

“So what are you up to? would have doubts If that happens, can the strategy of pulling back 100,000 troops and striking the back of the head succeed?”

“I don’t think so.”

“That is what I mean. Making plans is important, but fooling the enemy is even more important. I will give you 100,000 troops, so take him to Kang Seung-hyeon. The remaining 50,000 will be sent to the battlefield of Eochamhyeon.”

“All right.”

“Who would like a longevity to go with you?”

“All of them are brave, so it doesn’t matter who they are.”

At Gaoong’s words, Sun Quan pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“If possible, a general who is good at fighting would be better. General Ju-tae, who showed great bravery when I was in danger in the battle with Sa-seop last time, is also good at counterattacking, so take him and General Jang-heum with you.”

“All right.”

“Hello.”

“Your rich man.”

“Go and call General Zhu Tai and General Jang Heum.”

“I take orders.”

After Sun Quan was saved by Zhou Tai, he had absolute trust in him.

After a while, Jang Heum and Ju Tae came in, bowed to Son Kwon, and asked Gao Yong about the situation of Eo Cham Hyeon.

After such a light greeting, Sun Quan talked about the plan to attack the fireman’s back.

“I am familiar with the two generals’ ability to fight, so please attack Daebu Hwa’s base with Sgt. Goong.”

“It’s a ploy to deceive the eyes of the enemy and poke a loophole! Admirable indeed. I will risk my life to burn Daebu Hwa’s camp and block the way back.”
