Chapter 106: Can this be called strategy meeting?
106 Can this be called strategy meeting?
No matter how much Lan Ping wished to arrive first, Jun Min and Soujin still arrived first. When they arrived, it's nearing noon and the first day of the battle has started.
"We were almost late," Jun Min said. Although they can't participate in the first day battle, they still can make turnaround tomorrow.
Soujin nodded. If they didn't hurry to come here by horse, it's more likely that they will miss even more battle and probably the losses will be more severe. Luckily, they marched towards this place as soon as possible and didn't delay their journey. With the exception of the day Soujin forced Jun Min to call his sister.
Jun Min and Soujin called the leader after they had finished the first day war and reviewed the battle of that day. The Kai and Pan Kingdom had joined hands and launched a surprise attack towards them, causing some losses on their sides. Luckily, the soldiers whom both Soujin and Jun Min had sent first can help them repelling the attack on that day.
"They are truly impatient," Soujin stared at the maps. "Their leader would surely appear the moment I revealed myself. Jun Min, you will be the one holding them from the back."
Jun Min raised his brow. "You want to duel that great general?"
"Yes."
A man aspiration is to grow stronger and Jun Min won't obstruct him. He had once tasted the blow from a great general and found himself on the disadvantages almost all the time. It took him a great deal of effort even for a tie with his body riddled in wounds. His uncle had strictly warned him to not get hurt anymore because a deep wound might leave scars.
Among the soldiers here, the one who have possibility to defeat the opponent great general are only Jun Min or Soujin, so they have to choose. Since Soujin volunteered himself, Jun Min would allow him to go forward to the battle.
"Then, make sure you keep him busy."
"Who do you think I am?" Soujin lips curved, forming a devilish smile. He's confident, that with his appearance, the other party would surely engage him on a battle, unless they're willing to sacrifice their soldiers.
Facing this confident man, Jun Min turned his attention to the map. The terrain here is more similar to the ones on the west. It's unfamiliar to them, but with their experiences on the battlefield, it didn't take long before the two of them are engaging in a duel of words regarding the best strategy to eliminate the opponent.
"There are not many hills on this place, there is no way we can take advantages of the high place..."
"This is not mountain, General Jun Min, higher place didn't have much significance here. You should focus more on the side area, there are several weird terrain…"
"No way, that would be impossible! You should just…"
"The elites here are limited, you can't just dispose them to…"
The other general looks at each other before voluntary backed down. They are not willing to get involved with the duo battle of words especially when it's obvious that the two abilities in constructing plans are far better than them. Even if they wished to get involved, they need to have something to say first.
From outside, the soldiers can hear the battle of words very clearly. Despite that, no one dare to come any closer and ask them what they do because they recognize these two voices, Jun Min and Soujin. Who would dare to question them?
"Their voices are really loud," one of the soldiers murmured as he stared from afar. From his place, he cannot tell the content of their discussion, but he knows that the two of them have been shouting this and that to each other. The heated discussion has been going on for some time now, but none of the soldiers dare to complain.
"Don't mind them."
The soldier nodded and clenched his fist. "Whatever their strategies are, I will follow them."
"You seem to be wholeheartedly following your general, why?"
"He's a great person."
The person answered back. He remembers when he's challenging Jun Min at his sister place, he's trashed completely. Ever since then, he had been training like crazy, but because of this war, he had to join and make some accomplishment.
This man is Fan Ying, Fan Lanying brother, who has been staying under General Yabei. He comes with his general to this battle in order to make some achievement. Upon seeing that Jun Min also here, his battle spirit has been ignited and he cannot wait for tomorrow battle. With Jun Min as the leader, he's sure that the battle will be even more intense.
The duel of words between Soujin and Jun Min lasted for several minutes more before the two of them calmed down and jotted the point that they have agreed upon. The generals are all speechless upon seeing the two of them returning back into being friendly so quickly after a heated debate among the two of them.
"Alright, you will have full control of the soldiers tomorrow," Soujin said after concluding everything with Jun Min.
Jun Min nodded. "Leave everything to me. You just need to focus on your battle with that great general."
"Sure."
The two of them turned to look at the stunned generals and other commanders around them. Jun Min grinned and said, "Soujin will explain the matters to you. I will have my rest first."
Soujin wants to retort back, but Jun Min already ran out from the tent leaving him with the other leaders. He shakes his head and turned his attention back before started explaining the agreed strategy briefly.
The leaders from Soujin side had expected their leader to get angry towards Jun Min, but contrary to their expectation, Soujin didn't get angry and merely shakes his head before starting to explain the strategy. Now they feel admiration towards Jun Min who can make their leader be so tolerant with him. They didn't know how many times both of them had already bantered around. If they know, they would think that this matter is not extraordinary.
Jun Min spotted Fan Ying amongst the soldiers and he smiled a bit. He being here means that Yabei concluded that his training is good which means, this will be a good thing for him.
