Chapter 289 – 30. Operation Amphibious
* * *
The saints, unaware that it was Seorae’s ruse, marched at full speed.
Calling the size of the reinforcements is so sloppy that it can be seen with a little closer look.
That meant time was running out.
Of course, that was also what Seorae had in mind. With this strategy, they must run at full speed, leaving them no time to think about their strategy or the enemy’s schemes.
It was the same with Nobunaga and the others who were accustomed to war.
I never dreamed that four million troops would show off his bravado by holding torches and attaching brooms to the tails of his horses.
However, due to the sense of longevity, I was feeling a little strange.
“Something… It’s easy.”
Nobunaga, who was sitting around the campfire and eating porridge, raised his head.
Is it suddenly easy?
“From the news I heard while going to and from each battlefield with her sisters, it was said that the Mei Imperial Army is quite strong. And even though the current emperor, Seorae, was a tyrant, he was also said to be an unprecedented Myeonggun in history. She came to her parents’ house her, isn’t it too easy?”
“….”
Nobunaga put down her bowl of her.
Certainly, she was feeling a little strange.
“Yes. However, there is no way that the army attacking each castle is a lie… I said 400,000 each, so 3.6 million for 9 castles. The army brought in is around 4 million, so there are 400,000 troops left in the main camp.”
“However….”
“Hey! Sister! I care about all the strange things. What about the imperial army? Even now we have more of them!”
“It is equipment. Stop interfering. Your sister is in trouble.”
“It’s okay. I would also like to hear the opinions of the two chiefs.”
“Oh oh! You’re pretty bulky! I thought you were a bastard who couldn’t unify a small country.”
“Equipment!”
Nobunaga laughed.
“He is a fun person. So, what do you think?”
“What are your thoughts, the current situation is not clear-cut. Oh, was it a famous painting contract?”
“Clear agreement is correct.”
“Hehe! Yes? Anyway, what are you worried about? The only reason you and your sister are anxious right now is because there is a battle ahead.”
“Maybe.”
Nobunaga nodded her head in agreement, but did not abandon her thoughts.
‘The equipment is great, but there is no resourcefulness. Almost the same as Katz… Guan-Woo next to me doesn’t seem to be the resourceful one either… But Yubi doesn’t look great… It’s a strange combination.’
She was, anyway, even if she didn’t have to say Yubi, it was the moment she felt strange.
The imperial army of the world, and the woman who would give up their headquarters this easily.
She could not hide her doubts about her.
At that time, Mitsuhide, who was by her side of her, sipped the soup and spat out.
“Usually, do you divide the main area and the division area in equal proportions?”
It was like lightning.
Yubi and Nobunaga’s heads opened up as if they had opened their eyes.
Nobunaga suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Yeah, yes! Usually, when dividing the army equally, the main base itself is used as bait, or when it is not known which side is the main base… They don’t evenly distribute them in simple siege warfare.”
“Then this….”
“If those humans don’t know much about military operations, or… There’s some trick… But the former is hard to think of.”
The Mei Empire may seem peaceful now, but it was all founded on great blood.
Right away, in the first year of Seorae, tens of thousands of aristocrats were attacked, and because of the forces they absorbed, they invaded and made vassals of neighboring countries at random.
About 10 of the current 35 dependent states were newly created at that time.
In other words, Seorae was a woman who had experienced all wars from the first year to the 10th year of her accession to her, and she could not dare to come up with the absurd idea that she did not know how to operate the military .
“If it does, it’s a really big deal. There might be an ambush.”
A whopping 400,000 troops were sent to each castle for the siege. 360,000 even if you subtract 10% of them. If you subtract 20%, you get 720,000.
What if that number is actually in ambush near the main base?
The two women couldn’t hide their shock.
The presence of ambushes is enough to take your breath away, but what if the number is equal to the size of the Holy Army?
“I have to tell you this right away! If there’s really an ambush, I’m helpless!”
Yubi stomped her feet and tried to jump out, but Nobunaga stopped her.
“Wait.”
“Yes?”
“Even though we came as reinforcements, we only have 10,000 soldiers. And the reputation is low. Would you like to listen to us?”
“Then….”
“Let’s do this. The saintess won’t listen to us anyway. So, don’t let her know, prepare in advance, and retreat quickly when the mutation occurs. Oh, take the saintess too.”
“That is… Excuse me?”
“In that way, not only can we preserve our army, but it also gives her saintess a great favor. Then our forces…”
“I can’t!”
Yubi shook off Nobunaga’s hand.
“… ?”
“That is not fair. You know the enemy’s plan, but you don’t inform your allies! What’s the point of gaining power and honor like that!”
“….”
Nobunaga slightly opened her mouth and put on a bewildered expression.
I’ve heard so many upsetting words.
“Affection…Of…?”
“I am gathering troops to establish justice, and I am living as a mercenary traveling all over the place. Where there is no justice, there is no conviction of mine.”
“Under… Haha… Justice… Justice, Liu Bi-gong. There is no such thing as justice in this world. Especially on the battlefield.”
“Humanity is justice.”
“….”
Without a moment to stop, Liu Bei quickly disappeared.
Kanu approached Nobunaga, who was smiling incredulously.
“Please understand. You have a lot to protect, so you have no choice but to take such a step, but we do not. Not only my sister, but we also live by justice and die by justice, so even if we look foolish, that is our path.”
She lowers her head slightly and follows Liu Bei.
After that, her equipment she caught up.
“… Tsk tsk tsk. These are stupid people. One day I will get a big burn.”
Mitsuhide clicked his tongue.
“I know.”
.
.
Of course, Liu Bei’s words were rejected.
I thought of the name of the reinforcements, but who would move a large army because of an unknown minor without a name?
Thanks to this, Liu Bei is only embarrassed and she is even starting to suspect that she is not a spy.
“I told you. I won’t listen.”
Nobunaga said as if to see.
However, Liu Bei smiled even at those words that made her feel bitter.
“Haha. I see.”
“If it continues to be that way, it will always be like this. Maybe she’ll be blown away and collapse in vain. No, almost certainly.”
It might be considered rude, but she dared to say it.
To be honest, her three generals her, including Liu Bei, were too precious to disappear while trying to defeat Jeong.
Liu Bei looked at her for a moment and smiled, then opened her mouth.
“It seems that Emperor Seorae left a wise saying. I may betray the world, but the world cannot betray me.”
“It was.”
“Shall I say something too?”
She lifted her head and looked up at her sky.
“The world may betray me, but I cannot betray the world.”
“….”
Nobunaga felt it.
The joy of this woman.
And her beliefs.
How could it be so bright and upright?
Her yearning her for justice and humanity was something that the culprit would not dare to catch up with. ‘
‘However… A tree that does not bend is bound to break… What a pitiful woman.’
I want to support you as much as you like.
That much moved her heart her.
But it can’t be.
The world was too far from justice for that.
“Mr. Yubi… You are a great person.”
“Hehe. It was Nobunaga-dono who foresaw the saintess’ reaction.”
“That’s not foreknowledge…”
It’s natural.
He swallowed her words.
Excuse me for any further advice to her who only walks the path of her justice.
I could not plant her doubts her with hasty words.
“What happened? It’s already past Rather, since the saintess did not listen to you, now do as I say.”
“You mean preparing in advance and then retreating.”
“Yes. If you do that once, you will listen to us better next time.”
Liu Bei nodded her head.
