Advance to destroy the Qin Dynasty.

My brothers and I were in charge of the main attack among the three attack routes.

As tribute, the two monsters, Hang Jeok and Han Xin, were providing a solid contribution, and as long as those two great men were protecting their backs, they could advance without worrying about the rear.

So if I were to say I was happy, I wasn’t.

“Damn it, damn it.”

I cursed and sighed.

“Why are you swearing again? Even if you just kept your mouth shut, your stomach would be in better shape. What kind of person swears so much?”

Zhang Liang grumbled and glanced at me.

But how else can we relieve this pressure?

The main character! I can’t believe I’m the main character!

what is this sound! Ugh.

Moreover, even King Hoe and Woongsim are moving with my army.

I understand her concern that morale might drop if the monarch does not join the Duke of Zhou’s effort to destroy the Qin Dynasty, but that did not ease my burden.

What we have to deal with from now on are the elite of the enemy’s elite.

It was a tightrope walk where one mistake would lead to my death.

When I told him how I felt, Zhang Liang chuckled.

“What are you worried about? From the moment I ran away on the way to Yeosan, I felt like I was throwing my life away.”

When I said that, I felt like I had nothing to say.

To put it bluntly, there was no point in whining when he had been complaining to himself about how he had recently become emperor and all.

“Yes, that is correct.”

When I said this with a grin, Zhang Liang looked at me with wide eyes as if he was surprised.

“Are you sure you’re not bothering me with nonsense like you usually do?”

At Zhang Liang’s question, I just shook my shoulders and laughed out loud.

“Why do you want me to do that?”

“…Ugh, I guess I should stop talking.”

Zhang Liang snorted and turned his head.

“Even so, it’s true that I’m worried. They are the elite of the Qin Dynasty, which unified the world. On the other hand, our unit is a group of soldiers who have only fought in a few light battles. The difference in experience is too big.”

Zhang Liang listened to me in silence.

“Furthermore, according to scouts, the enemy’s main force was a mounted unit. If the tanks start charging, the main force of our army will inevitably be destroyed. Even if we do our best with the insufficient cavalry in our army, we will be able to keep the enemy’s cavalry at bay.”

“Hmm.”

Zhang Liang scratched his chin.

“Are you stupid?”

“…What?”

“That’s right.”

Zhang Liang sighed and shook his head.

Oh, I really want to hit you.

bean!

“Aaaah! why! why! why! Why are you hitting me?”

Oh, I really hit you.

bean!

“I hit you twice!”

If you hit me, I’ll have to hit you one more time.

Oh my, seduce me.

“Profit!”

Zhang Liang’s eyes were red and he was angry, but it’s okay because he can’t hit me.

I’m the boss, so what should I do?

Evebe!

“This is all because of affection. So what is it? Tell me what I’m missing.”

“…It’s so absurd.”

under!

Zhang Liang sighed and rubbed his forehead, which had been hit with the honey chestnuts provided by Pei Hyeon’s spicy fist.

“If you get tired, you’ll be in trouble. People often interpret this saying only as ‘know fractions.’ ‘I know my subject and I know my opponent is strong. So even if I run away, it’s not because I’m scared.’ Well, I just use this as an excuse.”

At Zhang Liang’s words, I nodded, thinking it was so.

“But that is a misinterpretation of this maxim. The true value of this maxim is the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the other person and myself. The goal is to create a foundation that can come up with a strategy to exploit the enemy’s blind spots.”

Zhang Liang cleared his throat, saying, ‘Ahem!’ and covered his mouth with a lace fan.

“I will ask. What are the enemy’s strengths?”

“…High morale of cavalry units, elite soldiers, and soldiers that can be had because the home base is a defensive battle.”

Zhang Liang nodded at my words.

“That’s exactly it. And that also turns out to be our weakness. To put it in simple terms?”

“Our army has few mounted units and is not an elite unit. Morale temporarily increased under the banner of the overthrown empire, but it would be lower than that of the defenders whose families’ lives were immediately at stake.”

Zhang Liang nodded once again.

“That’s it! And that could soon become our strength!”

“…could be a strength?”

“Yes!”

Sigh!

Zhang Liang folded the lace fan and slapped his palm with a ‘thud!’

“What are the feelings that the strong cannot help but have in front of the weak?”

“…”

I spoke after gathering my thoughts for a moment.

“Conceit.”

“That’s right. And what would happen to the enemy if we could double down on that hubris?”

“You will become arrogant. I will let my guard down.”

“That’s it!”

chuck!

Zhang Liang pointed at me with the end of his lace fan.

“Our greatest strength is the arrogance of our enemies who laugh at us! At best, this is the enemy’s carelessness, looking down on us as country bumpkins from Chu! Can you use this in reverse?”

I nodded slowly.

“It is possible.”

Zhang Liang grinned at my answer.

“That’s the man I chose.”

“Thank you, I love you, marry me.”

“That’s right…you said bullshit again, right?”

“No, I’m serious.”

“…sigh.”

Zhang Liang closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.

Zhang Liang may not believe it, but it was sincere.

I felt like I wanted to give that petty villainess a deep kiss on the lips right away.

Trampling on the pride of an arrogant enemy.

Picking on the idiot who believes I’m the best.

That was my favorite thing to do since I was unemployed in Jungyang-ri.

It was also what I did best.

‘Okay, let’s give it a try.’

I clenched my fists.

*****

Gangri (杠里). It was an area to the west of Shengyang, northeast of Heze City, Shandong Province, modern China.

It was a largely unremarkable area. In other words, it also meant that it was a region far removed from complex interests.

It was for this reason that the general of the Jin Dynasty decided this was the place to defeat the Yugye army.

‘Because there’s no need to get caught. And if I win here, the credit will be mine.’

A bitter smile appeared on the mouth of the Jin Dynasty general.

At first, the general cursed his misfortune.

How great it would have been if he had been able to face someone from the prestigious Hang family of Chu or a great figure like Song Yi!

If I did that, I would have been able to escape from this tiresome long life and live comfortably in Hamyang!

A general who pondered that kind of regret and set out to stop Yugyegun, a group of refugees, at best.

And who said that everything in life is a waste of time?

‘Really? ‘There’s the king of weightlifters over there?’

Truly shocking news!

If you kill the leader of the rebel army with your own hands, isn’t promotion guaranteed?

The general was thankful for his luck in dealing with a worthless guy due to his own worthless background.

And on the day of the decisive battle, the Jin Dynasty general, looking at the opponent’s camp, could not help but laugh.

“What on earth does that mean!”

Not only that, but it was a display that would make anyone who knew even a little bit about the art of war laugh.

“Hahahaha! Still, look at them occupying the high ground just to imitate the art of war!”

Yugyegun’s display was truly unconventional.

I could understand that they were building a thick barrier by deploying spearmen on both wings, but instead, the center was completely empty.

Because of this, the archer unit that was supposed to be protected was completely exposed.

“If it were a camp like that, no matter how sacred they were, they would break through right away! The enemy leader doesn’t even know such obvious common sense?”

The Qin soldiers burst out laughing and agreed to the ridicule of the Qin general.

Even in their eyes, that display was an act of suicide itself.

Moreover, the governors of the opposing counties were crouching and shivering due to the rain that had been falling for several days in a row.

It was a desperate measure to avoid loosening the arrow’s glue, but to the Jin soldiers, it looked like a wet mouse.

“There’s no need to bring out the cavalry.”

The Qin Dynasty general said so.

It wouldn’t be something to be proud of if you won by launching a mounted assault against someone like that.

What we need now is an overwhelming victory.

You will be recognized only if you attack the enemy head on and completely destroy them.

“Tell the cavalry unit, everyone, get on your horse! Let us bring death to those ridiculous ragtags!”

“Wow!”

The Qin soldiers responded with thunderous shouts.

The Qin soldiers began charging step by step like huge beasts.

An orderly advance toward the exact center.

It was a solid advance that showed the dignity of the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

“Tear apart your enemies!”

The Qin general shouted again.

The Jin army’s master beat the drum vigorously.

Without even knowing that it would become their funeral song.

*****

“What is the arrow?”

“Enough.”

When I asked, Soha, who joined later, answered.

The arrows of this era abandoned the soft bronze arrows used previously and used alloys such as brass.

A metal that is difficult to manufacture in the field or distribute to the private sector.

If it weren’t for Soha, it would have been difficult to supply enough arrowheads, and in that case, this fight wouldn’t have been a success.

But I had Soha, Jangryang, Beongwae, Jubal, Noh Gwan, and Ha Hu-yeong.

“Good.”

I nodded.

“Tell the archers to tie their arrows.”

My voice spread calmly across the vast battlefield.

“Let’s cover the enemies with our arrows.”

Soha nodded.

thud! thud! thud!

The enemies advance.

Sigh-!

The arrow roars as it bends its strong body.

The start of the battle was approaching.
