I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 408. Late Regret (1)

“Light the torch more and march as it is!”

“I take orders.”

When the fireman’s order was issued, the ship’s advance, which had been hesitant for a while, continued.

“All troops! March!”

Then Sima Hui opened her mouth as if concerned.

“The main enemy may be hiding numbers.”

The fireman nodded quietly.

“Yes, it may be. But if the enemy had the time, he would have chosen the light rather than the dark! Darkness is a trick that wants us to die! I also thought about it for a while, but when the lights went out for the second time, there was something clearly visible. So, Commander Sama, think about the later matters first!”

“I take orders!”

If only one side of the torch had gone out, the burner might have stopped at this point. But the enemies were too impatient. Saying they turned off all the lights is like gambling.

That’s why he boldly gave the order.

Dung-dung-dung-dung-dung…..

The oars vigorously pounded to the beat of the drums. Watching in all directions, Sima Yi screamed madly.

“We’ve all seen the watery shallows, so big ships never move in that direction!”

The ships were clearly aware of the waterway even in the dark.

Pipipipiping…

As they got closer, they fired oil bags and flaming arrows at each other. Then the boat caught fire and the darkness was brightened everywhere.

Kigaaak …..

The belly and stomach were in place, and the longevity and the soldiers went to the enemy’s ship and knife.

Because each other risked their lives, the Soncheok camp to protect and the firefighter camp to break through were doing their best.

“No No is caught in seconds! This is an area where aquatic plants are lush. Don’t come!”

While fighting like that, some large merchant ships got caught in a few seconds and could not row properly.

“That area is definitely an area without aquatic plants… what happened?”

“That’s what we’re good at… Let’s find out right away.”

No one answered the fireman’s question properly.

It might have been that the ship had deviated from its course because it was night, and there might have been aquatic plants that hadn’t been discovered yet.

It is clear that any situation is never good.

As the merchant ship got stuck in seconds and slowed down, the small military ships clung to it, broke the oars, and started pounding the bottom of the boat.

Merchant ships had already been prepared based on their experience.

Oil and fire arrows!

The soldiers of the merchant ships burned the small warships as they had prepared in advance, but they could not handle all of them, and eventually the merchant ships caught in seconds began to sink.

The fireman realized that only the ships in the left port were caught in the water and were attacked by the enemy, and hurriedly prevented the left port from approaching.

However, the ships that were already caught were unfortunately targeted by the enemies.

“That was the reason the torch was turned off in the port on the left! It was to cover the water plants!”

I didn’t know why even the right muzzle, which had no waterweed, turned off the torch, but I had to admit that the enemy’s plan was really careful.

It succeeded in breaking through the right port while more than a dozen merchant ships headed for the left port were being sunk.

Although the enemies persevered, they could not hold out in the end in front of the overwhelming amount.

The enemies who reached the port first broke it and set it on fire to prevent our ships from anchoring.

The enemy managed to burn more than half of the muzzles and withdraw, even while arrows were pouring from the ships of the allies and they were dying innumerable numbers.

It was truly pitiful.

The large ships of the Hwabu camp had difficulty anchoring because the port was on fire, so they rode small battleships and landed at the port and fought the enemy with support from the rear.

The fighting continued, and when the day dawned, the soldiers of Hwabu were able to occupy about half of the port of Eochhamhyeon.

* * *

Around that time, Zhuge Liang led an army of 500,000 with Guan Yu and other generals, and reached Yezhou through Yeonju.

It was about four days away from Koo Gu-gun, where the painter was staying.

“I’m sorry to the commander-in-chief.”

Just then, an intelligence report informing of the war situation arrived.

“Speak.”

“The Duke of Ju commanded large merchant ships two days ago and invaded Danyang-gun.”

“what?”

In an instant, Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened.

This was a much faster move than he expected. Isn’t that a bit too hasty? Zhuge Liang was worried about the loopholes that would arise there.

“Even if a merchant ship was requisitioned, it would have taken a lot of time to convert it into a military ship, but the engagement broke out really quickly.”

“It is said that Sun Ce’s soldiers did not return from Jiaozhou, so they took advantage of that and marched out.”

“Is that so? Yes, the timing is not bad, but… Sun Ce is not an easy opponent, so why the hell is the Duke of Zhou in such a hurry?”

When Zhuge Liang’s expression frowned, Guan Yu, who was watching it, opened his mouth.

“Sir General. If the Duke of Zhou has already started attacking Sun Ce, wouldn’t it be like going the old route and only beating the back drum?”

“It is. It would be better to turn our route towards Xuzhou and hit Ogun.”

“Since most of Sun Ce’s soldiers are concentrating on fighting the Zhou Gong, Wu forces must be empty.”

“Once we have Wu Jun in our hands, Sun Ce will have to face the enemy from both sides, which is a dilemma. At most, you would think that running away to the accounting team is a constant.”

Zhuge Liang took out a wide map and looked at the route to Wugun.

“It will take at least six days for all troops to move.”

“If we only move our cavalry, we can reach Namhyeon in three days.”

“Namhyeon… It’s a place that can be said to be under the chin of Ohgun.”

“That’s right. Why don’t we just move the cavalry first and hit Namhyeon?”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, then nodded.

“Right now, that looks the best.”

“After attacking the southern prefecture with cavalry, I will occupy the following prefectures sequentially. However, it is difficult to effectively dominate, and if the tail is caught by the enemy, it is likely to be dangerous. Therefore, I think it will be easy for the city to occupy the city only if the commander-in-chief leads the second party quickly.”

“General. You don’t have to aim to capture the city. Please keep in mind that it is enough for Sun Ce to be startling.”

“ah! Then it must be quite noisy, right?”

“If possible, I think it would be better to set fires everywhere and let the enemy live rather than kill them.”

“I will.”

“Sun Ce won’t be able to afford to send troops, so sweep the area as wide as possible to surprise Wu.”

“All right.”

Guan Yu immediately called the generals together, entrusted the infantry to some generals, and rushed to Wugun with 150,000 cavalry.

When Guan Yu and his cavalry disappeared, Zhuge Liang leisurely followed with his infantry, archers and support troops.

This is because while Gwan-woo puts on a splendid show, the second team must join with their physical strength intact to properly help the fireman.

“Surely there are no aquatic plants… How could the boat be tied up there?”

As the day dawned, Gahu, who went out to the forefront of the warships and inspected the enemy lines, tilted his head as if he did not understand.

There were no aquatic plants around the muzzle.

The same was true of the eastern port where 18 ships sank yesterday.

I can’t see the waterweed, but how did the ship get caught in the waterweed, get stranded, and eventually get attacked and sink?

“huh? What is that?”

Gahu looked at the enemy camp for a while and saw straws floating on the water.

“It looks like hay, did you spill it on the boat?”

stop.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.

“No way! Did you use that hay for planting?”

Looking closely, I saw quite a few straws hanging here and there.

The river flowed through the night, but the current was not fast because the water was not deep.

Because of this, there were quite a few traces of the fight.

The hopeless thought changed to certainty.

“Heh heh…. This must be Jegalgeun’s plan. What a surprise! Under the cover of darkness, they spread hay into the water and sank eighteen ships.”

A laugh came out of nowhere.

The most expensive commodity in war is the horse.

Even sometimes, they pay a higher price than people, and the troopers take care of them like their own bodies and never starve.

But to think of such a bold use of food for such a horse!

This was a plan he hadn’t even considered.

tilt.

After a moment of admiration, I suddenly felt a sense of wonder.

If they had released aquatic plants into the water, they would not have dared to reach the port in the first place, let alone occupy half of the port.

“Then why didn’t you spread the hay in the west port?”

Because there was no hay in the western port, oars were not caught, and large ships could fully engage in battle.

“Even though hay is rare, it can be obtained enough to free and save soldiers, and it seems that there was also some stockpile.”

I looked up and looked over the muzzle where I was facing the enemy soldiers, and I saw the horses moving briskly.

It was clear at once that the horse was not starving.

If it had been him, he would have defended the muzzle by releasing the hay even if the horses starved today.

“Could Sun Ce accept the opinions of the bookkeepers separately?”

It’s a guess for some reason, but if it weren’t for that, there’s no way he would have used only part of such a good ploy.

“Keuk ha ha ha… I see. Sun Ce’s ears are ringing at the words of other bookkeepers other than Zhuge Kun! Otherwise, I couldn’t have used only half of this ploy, which surprised me!”

A laugh came out of nowhere.

No matter how good the tactic is, it is meaningless if the master does not use it.

Because there were so many feudal lords, many excellent tacticians are looking for a master who recognizes them.

“Come to think of it, there are a lot of rumors that Sun Ce is brave, but there are very few rumors that Sun Ce is brilliant. Tsk If you are proud of being brave, you should trust the excellent tacticians even more… Can you see the end of the sword now?”

After laughing at Sun Ce’s camp, Jia Hu hurriedly went to the fireman.

If the enemy’s chief does not trust Zhuge Kun, there are much more options available. And the moment I saw the hay already floating in the river, a trick came to mind.

‘A servant who serves a petty lord will never be able to show his grandeur properly!’

* * *

Hmmm!

The evaluation of Sun Ce, who was deprived of half of his catches, was complicated.

In fact, Sun Ce had much more trust in Zhuge Kun than Lao Shik until he fought the fireman. However, as he started fighting the fireman, his trust in Jegalgeun was shaken.

His younger sister became Jegalgeun’s wife and he had a niece, but it bothered him that Jegalgeun’s younger brother was a general in the Hwabu camp.

As a result, he listened more to Noshik’s plan than Jegalgeun’s, and suffered considerable loss of troops as a result.

Whoa,

I let out a sigh.

‘I was foolish! I didn’t listen to the words of Jegal, who had been loyal to me for a long time…’

If he had listened to Zhugeun’s words last night, instead of losing the port, dozens of merchant ships from the fire department would have been sunk.

I felt like I wanted to cut off the back of my hand with a knife out of regret and self-reproach for my own foolishness.

Turning his head to Zhuge Geun, I saw that he was contemplating something with a worried expression on his face.

“Keuheum Jegal military.”

Even though I’m shameless and sorry, I can’t keep blaming myself.

“Please name me. main ball.”

“If I give you the hay, will you be able to defend the remaining muzzles?”

Jegalgeun pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

“If the enemy is quite large, the number will work again, but the firemen’s schemers are also not ordinary people, so they must have already figured out that hay was used as a substitute for waterweed. So I don’t think it’s going to be of much help.”

When Zhuge Kun let out a long sigh, Sun Ce tried to hide his apologetic feelings and asked:

“No, but if you loosen the hay, can’t you block the enemy’s oars and block their movement?”

“Sure, of course, but it’s a different situation than yesterday. Yesterday was night, and the torches were properly extinguished to fool the enemy, but now it’s daytime, so if the enemy slows down and moves forward, raking the hay, it’s just like blowing the hay.”

Unlike waterweed, hay floated on water and was easy to remove.

“Then is there no way to stop the enemy ships now?”
