I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - 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!”
Hwabu’s soldiers were slowly pushing Sun Ce’s soldiers back with a huge amount of supplies.
Thanks to that, after a day’s battle, he completely occupied the port of Eochamhyeon and was able to afford to build a youngchae on the land.
“There is no way that the religious leader’s troops deliberately belatedly returned to the army when the war began. He must have been running day and night without rest, so he should have arrived already, but it is a little strange.”
After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth.
“Are you trying to prepare for a siege war in the capital city?”
“Sun Ce is encouraging a fight from the front, so shouldn’t the generals do that?”
“Then it would be right to think of a trap.”
“I am worried about that too. The troops that should have come are not coming, so there must be some ulterior motive.”
Gafu and Samahui nodded their heads in agreement with the fireman’s words.
Sima Hui looked at the map and said.
“All of Sun Ce’s ships resisting at the port retreated to Kang Seung-hyeon. Kangseunghyeon is not too far from the capital city, and there is ample port for many ships to dock. If that’s the case, I’m concerned that they might be pulling their troops out and aiming for our backs.”
“I think so too. At the current momentum, we can push to the city before long, but if the enemy takes our base on the other side of the river at that time, there is a high possibility that the retreat will be blocked.”
A small smile came to the lips of the fireman who heard the two of them.
“I see. My thoughts did not reach that far, but after listening to the words of the two soldiers, it seems that Son Che was also such a plan. If you don’t know, you can be beaten, but if you know this, it’s useless for anyone! Now, what would you like us to do?”
“After stopping the push to the capital city, reinforcing the base here, and giving the troops enough rest, when the enemy leaves Gangseunghyeon Port, if we take it even there, the enemy will be dispersed.”
Since Kang Seung-hyeon is the gateway to the capital of Danyang-gun, if the port is occupied, the enemy will lose their way back.
“That would be a good idea.”
The painter nodded, and Sima Hui showed concern.
“Jugong, however, if we divide our soldiers into two to attack Kang Seung-hyeon’s port, the main force here could be weakened. If the enemy sends soldiers here instead of sending them to Kang Seung-hyeon to focus on fighting, you could be in a big mess, so you should keep that in mind.”
The fireman’s head nodded once again.
“That also makes sense. First of all, it would be right to accurately grasp the enemy’s movement and then divide soldiers. Now that our base is solid, let’s focus on maintenance for a while rather than attacking. After reinforcing the ship and resting the troops, it would be better to see an opportunity and attack it at once.”
“I take orders.”
“Danju Eulji, please mobilize Sejak and all the scouts to monitor the enemy’s movements. We need to see the amount of hostility and respond accordingly.”
“All right.”
* * *
When Eulji sent a signal with his eyes, the fireman bit everyone around him and had a private meeting with Eulji.
“What do you have to say?”
“I think it’s time to summon Jang Heum and Ju Tae.”
“Hmm, come to think of it, I said they were pacifying Guji-gun and Il-nam-gun and then returning troops, right?”
“yes. If all the Jiaoju troops returned, they would surely have returned with their soldiers, so it would be better to send someone to strike Sun Ce in the back.”
“Now that we are at war, it wouldn’t be easy to meet them even if we sent someone.”
“If you use Hao Mun’s people, not Sejak or skirmishers, you can convey the will of the Duke of Zhou.”
“How many troops do you think they will have available?”
“It is said that they were subduing Guji-gun and Il-nam-gun with 50,000 troops each.
“Then, at least 50,000 troops will be our army.”
“From Sun Ce’s point of view, more than 10% of the troops suddenly turn into enemies, so it can be said that it is a 20% loss, and if you add the psychological shock, it will be more than enough damage.”
“If only they turn to us like Danjou said, it will be a great turning point in this war.”
“It will definitely happen.”
“Maybe Sun Ce is keeping a watchful eye on the two, so you have to move the person secretly.”
“Even Hao-Mun’s Mundo, who transmits words, will not know what he is talking about because he will be conveying slang that only the two of us use.”
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.”
