Episode 416. Sun Ce’s Tears (1)
While fleeing after Sun Ce, Zhuge Kun fell to the rear and watched the battlefield.
Hwabu’s cavalrymen were scattered in all directions chasing the fleeing soldiers, but at one point they turned and started running strongly in one direction.
“What is this again?”
Jegalgeun was surprised and inspected the battlefield more carefully.
Pursuing the soldiers will result in quite a number of prisoners, and before long they will all be absorbed into their own forces.
But now the enemy cavalry had given up that advantage.
Suddenly they realized what they were doing.
“You’re a crab looking for the main character!”
If you move for the purpose of catching a handbook like that, you can’t see the benefits you can see, but if you just grab a handbook instead, you could have ended this war.
‘Whose idea is it? I put in an irrational number to end the war at once… Are you sure it’s a fireman?’
It’s a difficult idea for bookmakers to do. Being a bookmaker himself, he could intuit this.
‘If the enemy is only looking for the main attack… I can use a distraction plan to confuse them, and when I have a chance, I can gather the cavalry and shake the enemy camp!’
A trick came to mind.
It’s a crisis, but if you overcome this crisis well, you can seize an opportunity.
Zhuge Kun sped up his horse and approached Sun Ce, who was frantically running away.
“Ju Gong!”
“What’s going on?”
“Now the enemy is only looking for the main attack without capturing the scattered soldiers.”
“what?”
In an instant, Son Ce’s eyes widened.
When I turned my head and looked behind me for a moment, I could see that many enemy cavalrymen had caught up with our soldiers, but did not catch them. And some of the cavalrymen, as if they had discovered Sun Ce, were quickly riding their horses and coming this way.
A feeling of being choked down.
No matter how good you are in martial arts, you cannot take ten hands with one hand.
“You don’t have to be surprised, Mr. If you go about half an angle further, there will be a fork in the road. Give the other general a flag that symbolizes the main attack and let him go to the left.
“Are you trying to write a disturbing book?”
“yes. Although the day was bright, we couldn’t tell who was who just by looking at the back of our heads. And at the next crossroads, give me the helmet of the main attacker. I will go the other way with the rider.”
At the request of Zhuge Kun, Sun Ce’s eyes lit up in tears.
Saying that he would put on his helmet and run away from the battlefield meant that he would risk his life instead.
Jegalgeun was such a loyalist.
Turning his head and looking at the old man, he said nothing.
‘ha! Since I’ve been suspicious of such loyalists… I had no choice but to lose the war. Even if I was foolish, I was too foolish!’
The feeling of wanting to take a picture of the instep.
Inevitably, I regretted not accepting Jegalgeun’s plan until now. If he had accepted all of Jegalgeun’s schemes from the beginning, he might have been chasing the fireman in reverse by now.
After a while, when the first fork in the road came out, as Zhugeun said, he attached a part of a soldier to a general and made him run away waving a flag.
When the soldiers were divided, the chasing enemy cavalrymen hesitated for a moment to see if they could not make a decision easily, then divided the soldiers and pursued both sides.
After about half an hour, there was another fork in the road.
“Please hurry up and give me the helmet.”
Before he knew it, Jegalgeun was wearing fancy armor and even holding a long spear.
Although he is a military man, his martial arts are also outstanding, so the form holding the spear was quite plausible.
Sun Ce took off his helmet and gave it to Zhuge Kun, holding his hands tightly.
“Please make sure to live and come to the capital of Accounting County! I will never doubt you again!”
Drizzling…..
In an instant, tears flowed from Jegalgeun’s eyes.
“I’ll see you at the capital city of Accounting County. I wish you the best of luck.”
“Okay, see you live.”
“yes.”
As Zhuge Kun led about half of his remaining troops and ran to the right fork, Sun Ce ran to the left fork and saw Zhuge Kun running away.
In the blurry vision along with the dust, the figure of Jegalgeun also disappeared.
‘Be sure to live! If you come alive, I will elevate you above me from now on.’
Sun Ce spurred on the galloping horse, making a promise in his heart.
The enemy cavalrymen who were following hesitated once more, and soon about half of them headed for the place where Zhuge Geun had gone, and the rest followed.
* * *
After many twists and turns, Sun Ce managed to escape the enemy cavalrymen and arrived at the prison camp in Quya County, Accounting Army.
“There were over 500,000 troops… but they couldn’t even work! Is my time now over?”
“Soldiers of the main forces gather after seeing the flag or the appearance of the main forces. Therefore, soldiers may gather to Zhuge Musketeer who parted ways at two crossroads, or soldiers may gather to General Hwang, who parted ways at the first crossroads.”
When Old Shik approached and spoke with a sad expression, Sun Ce shook his head.
“I only joined this place, so how different would they be?”
“The main road we came from is the road to Ogun. It is highly likely that the soldiers who wanted to join went to Bireung-hyeon, which was headed by Zhuge Musketeer, or Yangseon-hyeon, which was headed by General Hwang. So it is too early to despair.”
“Whoa~ I hope so.”
Du-du-du-du-du…
At that time, several horses from Ogun’s side came running towards us at high speed.
“Looks like a messenger from the Ogun side?”
While Sun Ce turned his head to look at them, the messengers got closer and closer, and soon he could see that their faces were terribly disfigured.
“Looking at the direction of the main attack, they seem to be coming from Ogun.”
“It seems so. However, it seems that there were many twists and turns while coming here.”
“Meet the governor.”
A man whose armor had been cut in places and was half in rags came forward and bowed his head toward Sun Ce.
“uh! Aren’t you the demonstrator escorting Jeong Tae-soo?”
Sun Ce’s eyes widened when he recognized the opponent.
If the guard escorting Tae-soo from his closest aide had such a face, there was no way Tae-soo would be safe.
“This is Hwang Yeon at the protest site.”
“Could it be that Tae-soo Seo was also attacked by the enemy?”
“I was attacked by enemies while I was heading south from the city with troops and supplies under the command of the four lords…” The
longer Huang Yan explained, the more Sun Ce’s complexion turned black.
After all the explanations were over, Sun Ce could no longer stand and sat down.
“Even Tae-su Jeong was captured by the enemy and surrendered…”
“Ju-gong, by now, the enemy’s cavalry, which had departed from O-gun first, must be attacking the capital of Gye-gi-gun, so you should run towards General Ye.”
At Huang Yan’s continued words, Sun Ce looked up at the sky, unable to answer.
Perhaps because it was the rainy season, the sky, which had been clear until morning, was quickly covered with dark black clouds.
Soon it will be pouring rain.
“Danyang-gun and Oh-gun went over, so I gave up on Gyejang-gun and ran away to Yejang-gun? Are you telling me to give up the torture stake right now?”
“We are in a crisis situation right now. Only by gathering soldiers from Yejanggun can you handle the army of Hwabu.”
Lu Shik supported Huang Yan’s opinion, but Sun Ce shook his head.
“If only the cavalry had started from Ogun, we could have surrounded the City of Accounting, but we could not capture it. Therefore, we will go to the capital of accounting, defeat the enemy cavalry, and fortify the castle.”
“Joo Joo Gong!”
“stop. My land can no longer be taken away by firemen. Fighting with the determination to die in the capital of Accounting County, if I die, I will die, and if I win, I will live.”
When Sun Ce revealed his determination, No Shik and Huang Yan were speechless.
After a while, Sun Ce led 30,000 troops and began to march toward the capital of Guiqing County.
* * *
Just as there is a saying, heart-to-heart, Guan-wu guessed Zhuge Liang’s intentions just as a painter knew Zhuge Liang’s intentions.
Because of this, the first thing he did after arriving at the Qi army and encircling the capital was to release the scouts and figure out which direction Sun Ce’s soldiers were fleeing from.
When the scouts who had gone out to scout returned and reported, Guan Yu’s eyes widened.
“what? Sun Ce’s soldiers from three directions are fleeing and coming this way?”
“Your general.”
“hmm! This is a problem!”
Although the cavalrymen surrounded the city, since they were all cavalry, there were no cavalry or ladders, so it was impossible to conduct a siege.
Originally predicted, if they were like this, Sun Ce would run away toward General Ye.
Then, he planned to lead the fast cavalrymen to chase after him or go to Janggun Ye first to block the road, but when the enemies missed their expectations and kept coming to the capital of Gyegi-gun, a conflict naturally arose.
The enemy was divided into three branches, but if they united as one, they would be no less powerful than themselves. In addition, if there were even crouching soldiers in the capital, there was a high chance that they would be attacked in reverse.
“Brother, what are you so worried about? These guys are now fleeing from Danyang-gun to this place, pushed by the main forces. Instead of waiting here, if my brother and I split up our cavalry to attack, wouldn’t we be able to capture two of the three?”
Dividing the cavalry into three to catch all three was likely to be a melee in which the advantage could not be measured, but giving up one and trying to capture two could lead to an easy enough battle.
Guan Yu nodded his head broadly after hearing the words of the equipment.
“You are right. One of the three has no choice but to enter this castle, so one of the two we want to capture must have a handful!”
“It is. They say they are coming from three directions, but there will be the most soldiers where Sun Ce is, so I think I can attack the area where my brother has the largest group and I attack the area with the second largest group.”
“Good idea.”
Guan Yu turned his head and looked at the scouts.
“Where is the third largest?”
“The number of troops coming from Chiso in Bireung-hyeon was the largest at about 50,000.”
“Then I can attack that side. Where is the second one?”
“The troops coming from the Chiso side of Yangseon-hyeon seemed to be the second largest at about 40,000, and the troops coming from the Chiso side of Goga-hyeon seemed the least at about 30,000.”
“Biya, you lead 70,000 cavalry and take charge of the enemy soldiers coming from Yangseonhyeon.”
“All right. older brother.”
“Even though the enemy is defeated, there will be a combination of archers, infantry and cavalry, so you will have to fight with the arrow range of the archers in mind.”
“Brother, I also rolled the battlefield with you for a long time. How can you not know our weaknesses? Don’t worry, brother, be careful.”
“Haha, I’m not saying this because I don’t trust you, I’m saying it because I believe you.”
After patting the equipment on the shoulder, Gwan-woo led the general and the cavalrymen and set off for Bireung-hyeon first.
