The next morning, the men discuss the ambush and decide to take advantage of the situation. They believe that the enemy has no interest in fighting a long war, and that they will be able to catch the enemy off guard the next day. They also believe that they have a good chance of winning the battle since the enemy did not have enough men to fight in the previous battle. They decide to put their men in the vanguard squad and use the relay station to communicate with the general. The narrator tells the men that the secret letter that Judge Min was referring to was a confidential one and that he should inform the general as soon as possible.
