Chapter 378. Twist, twist, twist (1) As
cynicism poured out of the fireman’s mouth, Samaui, startled, fell flat on his face.
“If you keep me by your side, I will rack my brain to figure out what trap JoJo has dug.”
“Anyone can say that.”
“It is said that Cao Cao has benefited greatly from the recent clash, but he cannot turn the tide of battle yet. Because of this, they are probably preparing another move to turn the tide of the battle.”
“You mean there will be a trap?”
“Yes, there will definitely be traps, but large-scale traps are at risk of being discovered in advance, so I think they will definitely try to accumulate confusion by digging several small traps into the elements.”
“If there are several small traps, why not keep pushing them?”
“no. We still have to push. If you get close to a trap, the enemy generals will probably try to lure you in, even at a loss. If you keep a close eye on the enemy’s movements, you will be able to detect signs of them in advance and be able to defend yourself.”
The painter looked at Sima Yi for a moment, then turned his head to look at the bookkeepers like Zhuge Liang and Gahu.
“You say things that don’t go against reason, but what should you guys do with interest?”
“That just makes sense, he has already proven himself. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to keep them by your side and listen to their opinions.”
Zhuge Liang was the first to nod, followed by Gahu and other bookkeepers as well.
“I think it would be good for me to watch for a while.”
“I am also considered to be a useful talent. I don’t understand why Cao Cao threw out such a person.”
The painter nodded toward Sima Yi after listening to the scribes.
“What office did you receive from Jojo?”
“It was a demonstration.”
“A protester at that age is quite fast. After.”
“Your master.”
“Take interest and use it for the time being.”
“All right.”

“I prepared my own conversion blow, but I don’t think I saw any benefit!”
Cao Cao let out a long sigh as he looked down on the battlefield from the high carriage.
At the beginning of the battle, he made a lot of gains by using firearms that exploded oil barrels disguised as rocks, but the enemy’s camp regained stability faster than he expected.
Unlike himself, who hurriedly dragged the elderly and children to increase the number of troops, Hwabu’s troops meant that they were elite enough to not be shaken by the great turmoil.
“Even though the main attack is successful, the enemy camp is not able to take a wave of offensive, so this is definitely a successful strategy.”
“I was only half successful.”
“It has turned into a melee, and our soldiers are still fighting, so if you pretend to run away to the castle and lure them into a trap, you can turn the tide of the battle.”
“It’s not difficult to lure them into the trap, but the morale of the soldiers was shattered too much in the beginning.”
“It is the morale of the soldiers. If you win, you can go up. Please don’t worry too much.”
Cao Cao nodded at Guo Jia’s words and looked closely at the battlefield.
Had it been half an hour? Now, the early advantage has disappeared and it is gradually being pushed back.
“At this point, it would be best to withdraw. Beat the drums and send the soldiers back!”
“He drives the soldiers back.”
When Cao Cao’s order fell, his servants shouted, and drummers and riders beat drums and waved flags to send signals to the battlefield.
The generals who received the signal moved their soldiers to retreat to the place where they had dug a trap.
As the soldiers retreated, the enemy soldiers chased after them as if they had waited and slaughtered the soldiers hit by the rear.
It is the law to see the most damage to troops when retreating.
Unfortunately, Jojo looked at the dying soldiers with compassion because he knew that he had no choice but to succeed in major operations.
At first glance, they seemed to be scattered in all directions, but they were steadily luring them into traps as planned in advance.
“Your sacrifices will not be in vain.”
stop.
However, at some point, the steps of the enemy soldiers who were chasing the retreating allies stopped. And without chasing them anymore, they were just vigilantly maintaining their camp.
Such a phenomenon happened simultaneously to all of the Fire Department’s soldiers who were jumping toward the trap.
Jojo’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
“Why does it suddenly stop? Could it be that they were even aware of the traps they dug all over the battlefield?”
“That’s it…”
No bookkeeper could answer Jojo’s question.
Things that should happen at the same time are clogged up in an orderly fashion.
Because it failed to lure the enemy, it became a situation where it only suffered a lot of losses while luring it.
Hwabu’s cavalry stopped attacking and waited for the rear infantry and archers to arrive. And after they came, they came into the place where the trap was dug.
The trap, of course, did not function as a trap, but rather was destroyed by the opponent who had a combination of a shield and an arrow, and was busy running away in all directions.
“I think I really have to retreat this time.”
Guo Jiao’s lips trembled as he opened his mouth after examining the battlefield.
All the traps that were thought to be a conversion that could turn the tide of the war were disintegrating.
The enemy was clearly reading their plans as if they were reading the palm of their hand.
“If you retreat further, the damage will be out of control.”
“But if we don’t retreat now, the principal may be in danger.”
“The fastest way to win a war is to kill the enemy leader. Certainly the fireman’s longevity will do their best to kill me. I will serve as bait to lure the enemy, so call all the archers around here and hide them.”
Jojo’s words widened the eyes of the bookkeepers.
“Juju Gong. The war has just begun. Why are you willing to take a risk already?”
“This is the only way to turn the tide of battle. Take orders.”
“Ha, but…”
“Are you guys trying to disobey my order?”
“Oh no. I take orders.”
As the bookkeepers, including Guo Jia, bowed their heads, Cao Cao mounted the horse with a spear instead of a baton. And he led 30,000 soldiers, including several generals, and rushed toward the enemy camp.
The 30,000 soldiers were those who did not move, protecting only the command of Jojo even when the war began.
Elite soldiers among the elite.
At the forefront, as Cao Cao broke through the enemy camp and began to stir, the enemy generals recognized Cao Cao’s identity and changed the course of their horses and began to charge Cao Cao.
In an instant, several generals who led 5,000 or 10,000 soldiers rushed towards Cao Cao’s 30,000 troops and collided with them.
“Yes, this is Jojo. My equipment is here. Take my spear!”
“You’re finally avenging your brother’s enemies! Don’t run away, just stay there!”
“Today you pay for the terrible atrocities you committed in Xuzhou! Wash your throat and wait…..”
“…..”
Hijjuk.
A smile appeared on Jojo’s lips as not only Guan Yu, but also longevity like Jangbi and Macho Zhao Yun rushed at him.
‘yes! Welcome, fire moths!’

“Oh no! The governor must immediately summon the generals who are after Cao Cao.”
Zhuge Liang, who was looking at the battlefield, was startled and spoke to the fireman, and the fireman also hurriedly issued an order because he was suspicious of what Jojo was doing.
“Send a signal to the generals not to pursue Cao Cao.”
“Please do not pursue Jojo.”
Dung-dung-dung-dung-dung…..
The sound of drums resounded loudly and the waving of flags also changed.
However, the generals who were closely following Cao Cao changed the sound of drums and the waving of flags, but as if they had not heard them, they were still frantic in chasing Cao Cao.
“Oh no! Blinded by the ball that catches Jojo! Beat the drum louder!”
The fireman’s heart suddenly became urgent.
Looking out over the whole, I saw Cao Cao dragging the generals and soldiers into a trap full of archers. Even so, the generals were only following Cao Cao closely, as if the archers were blind.
It was a phenomenon that occurred because most of the longevity chasing Jojo had accumulated resentment.
Doong-dung-dung-dung-dung…..
The sound of the drums grew louder and the shaking of the flags became louder, but in the end, a rain of arrows rained down on the heads of generals and soldiers who were chasing after Cao Cao.
Only then did the generals and soldiers realize that they had jumped to death and hurriedly turned their heads, but there were already so many people gathered that they could only entangle and collide with each other. And in the meantime, the soldiers and horses hit by the arrows died innumerable.
“You’ve been beaten!”
The fireman was shocked to the point that his legs staggered for an instant.
Those who fell into Cao Cao’s trap were approximately 50,000 cavalry. In the end, many of the cavalrymen, the core of the army, would have died and the generals who led them would have been killed or injured.
50,000 cavalry is a small number compared to the 2 million army, but in reality, more than 10% of the total force had to be cut off.
* * *
“Ha ha ha ha…”
Jojo laughed so loudly that he was afraid his mouth would tear.
He led 30,000 men and lost 10,000 men, but instead captured about 50,000 enemy soldiers. And although I couldn’t confirm it with my eyes, many of the opponent’s longevity were hit by arrows.
“How are you? Didn’t the charter that had been pushed back turn over at once?”
“You overturned the state of affairs, but please don’t do that again next time.”
“I know that this strategy won’t work every time. But just now was very timely, and it must have made the fireman’s talk very cold.”
Cao Cao smiled cheerfully and looked at the battlefield.
The battle turned over at once, and now Hwabu’s soldiers were stepping back, and his own soldiers were chasing after them, slaughtering the enemy soldiers.
“I’m calling the principal.”
Then a skirmisher ran up and bowed to Cao Cao.
“Tell me what is going on.”
“About two o’clock ago, the police station in Guando County started to come under attack.”
“what! The governor of Guando County?”
Jojo’s eyes widened in an instant.
Gwando-hyeon, along with Gokryang-hyeon, was one of several prefectures surrounding Eopseong. In other words, the other road to karma was under attack.
“Could it be that the fireman dispersed his forces even in the midst of this?”
“I guess so.”
“How many troops are attacking?”
“It was a large army of about 30,000.”
“Damn me! With 30,000… Guando-hyeon must have been pierced by now!”
If Guandohyun is pierced, Upseong can be attacked directly.
Of course, since they left 100,000 defensive troops in Upseong, there was no way they would be captured by only 30,000 troops, but they were very uncomfortable with the unexpected irregular attack.
“I can’t believe how many 2 million troops there are, but… I can’t believe I had more power to turn them elsewhere! Fireman, how many soldiers have you gathered?”
