Chapter 339. (2)
‘Could the Duke of Zhou really make the decision to vacate Luoyang?’
When Seo Seo heard the news that the fireman had safely escaped from Luoyangseong, he was relieved, but on the other hand, he was worried.
Probably by now, he would have encountered the soldiers who had been dragged by Bangtong, so he would have listened to the plan he and Bangtong made. However, no matter how good the plan is, reason must remain in order to think.
By now the whole mind of the fireman must be filled with anger and vengeance.
‘Anyone with an insight that encompasses the entirety of the Duke of Zhou would certainly accept the plan to empty Luoyang, but now I don’t know what to do. Whoa~ Anyway, since the main attack hasn’t come yet, I’ll have to fight against the enemy until the answer comes.’
Standing in the distance, I watched the enemy commander who was running with 10,000 cavalrymen.
I don’t know who he is yet, but since he is the vanguard, he must be a strong man who can fit within three fingers in the enemy camp.
“General Haman.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Can you deal with that young general from the camp?”
“If you send the spirit, I will run right away and break the cask and come back.”
Haman showed his confidence by lightly wielding an iron club.
After taking the elixir, he became a master who could fight against equipment.
“It’s your first fight, but if you feel like fighting, retreat boldly and lure the enemies to the eastern reed field where the archers are hidden.”
Standing, knowing that Haman had a tendency to get excited easily during a fight, he deliberately emphasized the ploy.
“Could I be pushed by that kid? I will run right away and break the boy’s cob and use the momentum to shake the enemy camp.”
“General Haman. The bookkeeper Seong-yeongyeong of the Ma-deung camp is a person with a lot of tricks. If we retreat, we’ll be preparing a trap, so you’ll have to chase after them and come back.”
“Is that so? I will always be careful.”
Haman’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Surely it will. So, lead 10,000 cavalrymen and lure them out pretending to be pushed back while fighting.”
“All right.”
After a while, Haman, who received the order of the Seo, led his cavalry and rode forward brandishing an iron club.

Most wars of this era start with the Vanguard Battle.
When the soldiers on both sides stopped at a certain distance, Macho and Haman rode their horses and ran to the halfway point.
“I am Ma Chao, General of the West Liang. Who are you to die in my spear?”
“Your nose-piercing kid has lost his fear. I am Haman, the general of Eosa Daebu’s army.”
“Haman? I’ve heard of longevity like Yeo Po and Guan Yu in the army of Eosa Daebu, but the name Haman is new to me, but to send out an unknown name as the vanguard, it seems that your master is empty-headed?”
“what? Head empty? This child’s baby! I sent you because I can put an end to you. Hey!”
When Macho heard the name Haman, he thought it would be an easy fight because he was a general who did not have much reputation.
Kkakkakkkakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkalkkkkk off …..
‘Huh!’
However, the moment the spear and the iron club collided, he realized that his expectations were far off.
‘He’s just a general over there… What kind of martial arts?’
When he was unable to push the iron club with his spear, he tried his best with sharp techniques, but even that didn’t work, and rather, the iron club stabbed like a spear through a gap and was even pushed back subtly.
‘He was someone worthy of taking the vanguard. If I’m not careful, I might be beaten.’
Macho swallowed dry saliva internally, feeling it tighten as he poured all his mind into the spearing.
The pride of being the best in Xiliang was fading away.
‘her! This kid is no ordinary guy!’
Watching Haman’s initial victory turn tense before fire and ten breaths passed, he thought that he might lose over time.
The opponent is a spear, and he is a heavy iron club.
Of course, when you wield more power, you have no choice but to get tired faster.
‘As Soldier Seo said, I need to lure the archers to where they are hiding.’
Kwak.
As the horses supporting the lower body staggered back in the aftermath of the spear and the club, Haman quickly turned his head.
“You son of a bitch! This old man is not feeling well today, so let’s fight again next time.”
“What bullshit? Running away while fighting! If you’re a man, let’s see the end.”
“Are you deaf, bastard? This old man is tired.”
Haman ran away and foraged the forage.
As Ma Chao chased after Ha Man, the Xiliang Army cavalrymen waiting behind them thought that Ma Chao had won the vanguard battle and attacked with their horses all at once.
Then the cavalrymen led by Haman did not stand still and rushed together, and a melee broke out in an instant.
In a fight between cavalry and cavalry, if the numbers are similar, the weight of the match will seldom tilt and stay tight.
But somehow, not even a moment passed before the macho army gained the upper hand and pushed, and Haman’s soldiers rapidly retreated and fled.
“Khahahaha… I thought it was amazing that Eosa Daebu’s army almost subjugated Ikju, but now that I’ve experienced it, it’s like a bastard meeting a tiger!”
Macho pursued and killed Shin or the fleeing enemy soldiers.
As I was running for a while, a strange feeling suddenly crossed my mind.
And at that moment, I remembered what the bookseller, Sung-Young Sung, had said.
-Just as we dug traps, the enemy is likely to lure archers out of hiding. So even if you get the upper hand in a fight, take advantage of it and come back.
Looking ahead, I saw a field of reeds, a good place for archers to hide.
“All forces stopped. No more chasing, stop!”
As Macho raised his spear high and shouted loudly, the cavalrymen who were chasing after him quickly stopped.
“General, why do you tell me to stop when you can win a victory for a while and raise a big criminal record?”
Macho shook his head as he saw the enemy cavalrymen running away and slowing down as much as they did when they stopped at the words of the manager.
Slowing down was to entice him to come after him.
“The reed field in front of me smells dangerous. Everyone retreat.”
The manager turned his head at Macho’s words and looked at the reed field, then shouted loudly to his subordinates.
“Ha trap. Everyone retreat!”
‘Such a foxy bastard!’
Haman gnashed his teeth to the point where Macho suddenly shouted retreat and turned his horse.
I suffered quite a lot of damage while luring the enemy a while ago.
If the enemy fell into a trap, it would have been enough to make up for the loss, but if it went away, it would only end with damage.
“Pursue the enemy. Follow me.”
As Haman ran in the lead with his iron club, his men pursued the enemy cavalry with all their might, as if to take revenge for what had happened.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the atmosphere changed in a moment, and those who were sagging in the ruins of the ruins were attacked and died.
Hijac.
Fumi’s men are dying, but the smile on the lips of Macho, who runs away, is rather small.
Now, if you go a little further, you will come to a place where they have dug a trap.
‘Yeah, just follow me for half an hour and a half like that.’
The remaining distance is about 1 mile.
I was running for a while longer, and I suddenly felt a strange sense of difference.
As I wondered what the difference was, I realized that the screams of my men and the clashing of weapons had stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of horses hooves.
The forest where the archers were hidden was now a short distance away, taking only ten breaths on horseback, but I had no choice but to pull the reins and stop the horse.
Turning their heads, they saw that Haman’s horsemen, who had been pursuing them in the distance, suddenly turned and ran in the opposite direction, showing no sign of anything.
“Did you notice it?”
Macho even laughed out of dejection.
I set up my major at best, but I forgot all about it a little while ago.
“It was not unnecessarily worrying that Seong was wary of the schemers of Eosa Daebu. It won’t be an easy fight.”
I have a feeling that it will be more difficult than any other feudal lords I have ever fought.
* * *
The attack of the Xiliang army stopped after Macho went to see the liver, and then one more time at dawn, but it was blocked with great benefit using a trap dug in advance.
In the morning after a fierce night, the letter sent by Bangtong reached Seo Seo.
After reading the letter, he put on a very satisfied expression.
“As expected, you are the main attacker!”
In the letter, it was said to give up Luoyang amicably, and it was even written in detail how to deceive the enemy more easily.
I know that I am not a person who knows broadcasting well and will not mention such detailed measures.
Of course, this is the opinion of the main character, the painter.
They might lose their reason due to anger, but they are more cool-headed than themselves.
‘It’s a very difficult order to give, but take advantage of it, but it’s the order of the governor, so I’ll have to fulfill it.’
The fire department’s order fell, so there was no need to consume any more troops here.
If you reduce the number of troops in the Xiliang Army, they will lack strength when they go to occupy the imperial palace and fight Cao Cao’s army.
“General Jin.”
“Yes, sir.”
“The governor’s name has fallen. I will retreat to Luoyang Castle, so let the soldiers reap the spirits.”
“All right.”
* * *
Of course, Ma Teng sensed that Eosa Daebu’s camp was preparing to retreat.
“It looks like the main governor is finally organizing Youngchae.”
“right. castle military. Seeing that they are about to retreat suddenly, it seems that Luoyang has finally understood the tragedy. Isn’t now the time to give the order for a general attack?”
Hearing Ma Teng’s words, Sung Yong-yeong shook his head.
“According to the information brought by Sejak a little while ago, Hahuyeon’s attack succeeded and General Lü Bu was killed, but Luoyang’s new governor fled with Eosa Daebu. If the Duke of Zhou were Master of the Palace, would you rather fight us or Xiahouyan’s army?”
“We have to kill the guy with the dagger in the back first.”
“you’re right. Their retreating target is Xiahuyan. A tiger and a bear are about to fight, but we don’t have to interrupt the angry tiger by grabbing it by the tail. Wouldn’t it be necessary to point the teeth of an angry tiger at us?”
“then?”
“Just follow it slowly and look at the atmosphere.”
“But didn’t you say Xiahouyan’s army was only 30,000? Don’t you think it will take a long time?”
“Of course, Xiahou Yan is now, but he is one of the limbs to which Empress Wu Ping left half of the saju. If left alone, the gap between Jojo and Hwabu will deepen.”
“Heh heh….. As expected, Sunggun is my eldest son. I came here to get Luoyang, but I might be able to get the world.”
“It is still only a plan and a prediction. You don’t know how the situation will change, so you have to cooperate with a governor of the Punghik army.”
“Hansu! He’s like a snarky guy, but… he had big intentions, so I should embrace him too.”
“Please tell him the news of our victory and encourage him to attack Hadong-gun.”
“I get it.”
Ma Teng had a slightly unwilling expression, but soon he wrote a letter, sealed it, and ordered his subordinate to send it to Pungik County.
