Chapter 559
Though Zhao Bingde’s orders hadn’t yet been delivered, the Liaodong troops were moving exactly as Lee Jing-ok had hoped.
The Liaodong army’s movements were guided by two traps laid by Hyang and the Joseon army.
The first trap was the iron wire nets.
The Joseon army had laid five layers of iron wire nets. While the front three layers stretched along the Yalu River bank in front of Insan Fortress, the rear two layers extended left and right with the Insan garrison at their center.
After breaking through the three layers of wire nets, the Liaodong troops instinctively moved toward areas without nets, becoming concentrated in front of the Insan garrison.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there were structures that appeared suitable for cover scattered in front of the Insan garrison. This led the Liaodong troops to surge toward the garrison.
And this was Hyang’s second trap.

The second trap was the moat installed in front of the Insan garrison.
