Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 408

Extension (3)

After the fanatics’ departure ceremony was over, the great army of 80,000 men split into two groups and began to advance.

The Omani soldiers and the eight hundred Cheonmasin Sect warriors moved south to join Sacheon.

Thirty thousand soldiers, three thousand cavalry, and a hundred or so Cheonmasin cult warriors headed to Cheonghae.

As Ilmok had wanted, Dokgo Ryong and Baek Woon Hak were also moving around in a scattered manner.

Baekwoonhak goes to Sacheon with the commander.

“Hahahahaha! It feels like all the tension I’ve been feeling is gone!”

Dokgo Ryong was heading to Cheonghae with Ilmok.

‘Is it just me or does it feel like I’ve dumped a more difficult crazy guy on him?’

As I listened to Dokgo Ryong’s screams coming from the cavalry in the distance, my head started to hurt.

In fact, it was a reasonable judgment.

It would be easier for nomadic cavalry to operate in a large battle rather than a Mercury battle.

On the other hand, Baek’s secret technique was useful in a large battle, but it was more useful in a water battle where the enemy was separated.

There was also a reason why Ilmok went to Cheonghae.

In any case, all the high-ranking officials of Cheonghae were going to be abandoned. There was no need for the commander to come forward and persuade them, so it was better for Ilmok to come forward and seize the initiative with the Myeolsehonokjang.

In addition, if the Annihilation of the Souls was carried out in the Suyeongjeon, there was a risk that the castle walls would also burst.

Because it was an ignorant martial art with an excessively large detonation range.

The units and commanders were organized for such rational reasons.

“Prince Ilmok! This time, I will be the one to cut off the enemy general’s head, so yield!”

As I listened to Dokgo Ryong’s screams, I began to feel more and more suspicious of the commander.

* * *

They left Nanju early in the morning and advanced until the sun set, then set up a temporary camp and rested.

“The cavalry will take turns observing the movements of the Cheonghae Army, Lord Dokgo.”

“Don’t worry!”

At his hearty shout, Ichimoku tried to swallow his anxiety and added.

“Please only reconnaissance. You must never charge alone.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to reduce the number of enemies before fighting?”

That’s right. If only we could just hold back and get out.

‘The problem is that you seem like you’d go straight into the enemy lines without any knowledge.’

However, since he couldn’t say such things to the head of the Odae family, Ichimoku made an excuse that he thought would be acceptable.

“I think we should settle this through a cool head-on confrontation.”

“Hahahahaha! This is it, even Confucius was a man who could communicate!”

Dokgo Ryong, who was easily fooled, left the command barracks with a hearty laugh.

And two hours later, when the moon was high in the sky.

Dokgo Ryong came to the command barracks again.

“According to those who have returned from reconnaissance, the Cheonghae Army has also formed a base and is resting.”

“How far was it?”

“It took about an hour to get there by horse, so I think it must be about fifty li away.”

In response to Dokgo Ryong’s answer, the general who was in the command barracks in place of the commander opened his mouth.

“If we start advancing from tomorrow morning, we might meet here around noon.”

He pointed to a spot on a military map that roughly outlined the terrain of Gansu and Qinghai.

After moving the signboard indicating the friendly forces to that place, Ilmok asked Dokgo Ryong again.

“How many of them were there?”

“He said that the exact number was not known because the sun had already set, but he thought it was around thirty thousand.”

Based on the information the nomad cavalry brought, they continued their meeting.

Winning a battle was fundamental, and it was necessary to minimize friendly casualties and capture as many enemy prisoners as possible, so various methods of utilizing terrain were proposed.

“Why don’t we just attack from the front and cut off the enemy general’s head?”

Except for Dokgo Ryong.

* * *

The next morning.

After a quick meal, the Gansu Army quickly cleared out their camp and began to advance.

They arrived first at the place they had planned to fight the night before and took up positions, and soon the Cheonghae forces came into view in the distance.

“… I don’t know what kind of authors they are.”

Absurdly, so far there has not been a single report of their scouts ever coming back to spy on them.

They were just moving without sending out an advance party or conducting reconnaissance.

At Ichimoku’s monologue, the general who was with him opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“Perhaps it is because the news of the attack on the Western Army Command has not yet reached us.”

Ichimoku nodded, as it was a reasonable inference.

And as the enemies came a little closer, Ichimoku tilted his head.

“I was curious after hearing the cavalry report, but it really looks like there are about thirty thousand. Wasn’t the Cheonghae army organized into thirty-five thousand?”

Although it was a number that included the reserve forces, it was clearly thirty-five thousand according to the organization structure set by the Western Army Command.

Since the number of people living in Qinghai was much smaller than that of Gansu, it was natural that a smaller force was formed than in Gansu.

On the other hand, in the case of Shaanxi, a larger number were organized than in Gansu.

In any case, the number of enemy troops was only thirty thousand, contrary to the known number of thirty-five thousand.

“… It seems that the commander of the Cheonghae military headquarters created a false list and embezzled war supplies.”

The Gansu general answered with an expression of shame, as if he had been insulted.

“her.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

‘You do all sorts of things.’

Perhaps they had embezzled supplies from the reserve forces, not the government troops that were organized into the military in peacetime.

Because unless there was a rebellion or war, these were things that would have no use.

But there has to be a limit to that. They stole supplies for five thousand people, so they must have been quite wealthy.

Ichimoku, who let out a hollow laugh, stepped forward when the enemy seemed to have stopped.

As soon as the light came on, the soldiers spread out to the left and right to clear the way.

The soldiers all looked at the person passing by them with awe-filled expressions.

It was a truly burdensome look, but Ichimoku tried hard to control his expression.

Since it was an army maintained by religious beliefs, they had to continue to pretend to be messengers of God.

Following that path were Jin Ha-yeon, Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah, and Joo Seo-yeon.

They were soon able to escape the friendly camp, and only stopped when they reached a position roughly in the center of the two armies.

“I am Ilmok, a disciple of the leader of the Cheonmasingyo cult! Why are you following the orders of the wicked eunuchs who are manipulating the government and causing innocent people to shed blood?”

As Ilmok shouted with all his might, a reply was heard from the Cheonghae Army.

“Hey you punk!! How dare you, you dirty bastards, try to disrespect the royal family and the eunuch!”

Indeed, he was said to be a guy who flatters his classmates, and a rather passionate reaction came out.

“Shut up! I didn’t say that to you!”

Ilmok immediately hurled a swear word at the commander of the Cheonghae Army, then shouted at the Cheonghae Army again.

“We will drive out the imperial family and eunuchs who have no regard for the lives of the people and open a new heaven! It is not too late, so those who are willing should lay down their weapons and surrender!”

As soon as the shouting stopped, the soldiers of the Cheonghae Army began to murmur.

“Do you think I’d be fooled by that dirty old bastard’s words!!”

Once again the shouts of the commander of the Cheonghae Army were heard, followed by the sound of drums and horns echoing through the enemy lines.

It was a strange sight.

Unlike the government troops of the Western Army who moved in unison with the sound, the Cheonghae Army was moving in a very chaotic manner.

Let’s take a moment to watch the bizarre sight of them entangled with each other.

“What are you guys doing! Whoever brings me that bastard’s head will be handsomely rewarded!!”

At the commander’s command, men burst out from all over the enemy camp and rushed toward Ilmok.

‘Tsk. It’s not as good as the time of the Western Army Command.’

The number was only about a hundred. It wasn’t even a specific unit that came forward. It was just a bunch of guys blinded by their majors and money who came forward.

One third were cavalry, and the other third were soldiers or warriors who had some training in martial arts, and they were running while displaying light combat.

Ilmok tried to appease his regret and began to use the energy of the three danjeons simultaneously.

It was not possible to deal with hundreds at once like in the war with the Western Army Command, but it was decided that more importance would be placed on seizing the initiative.

Because it was a method that wouldn’t be usable once the melee started anyway.

Before long, a pack of greedy, blinded lynxes arrived within striking distance.

The Taegeuk bead that Ilmok had combed with his two swords left his hand and flew towards a herd of lynxes.

Then, with a terrible explosion, the world was bathed in light.

bang!!!!

As expected, there was nothing left in the area where the ruins of the world had burst open.

At the center of the explosion, everything was turned to dust, and those who were caught in the outer areas had their bodies torn to shreds, with flesh and blood scattered everywhere.

Then, from the rear, a roar louder than the sound of the Destruction of the World’s Greatest Battle erupted.

“Waaa …

“Oh my god!!!”

I could tell at a glance without even looking back.

The eyes of the fanatics are already wide open and filled with madness.

“All troops! Advance!!”

Ilmok pulled out his Sword of Ascension and shouted, then ran towards the enemy lines with his men.

Phew!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then, the sound of horns and drums echoed from the friendly camp, and the sound of stamping feet echoed throughout the battlefield.

The noise of thirty thousand soldiers rushing in at once had a strange sense of unity.

This was because they were singing hymns to the beat of drums and horns.

Even though about two thirds of them had surrendered from the Western Army Command and joined the army, they were singing hymns together.

On my way here, I learned something from the existing Nanju Army soldiers.

“Gwang! Myung! Gwang! Myung! Cheonma Shingyo!!”

Ilmok, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter at the sound of his allies’ mad cries from behind, eventually couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

“Really, you do all sorts of things.”

This was because the shield bearers in the enemy lines began to throw down their weapons and kneel, one by one.

“I, I surrender!”

“Please, save me!!”

Most of those in the vanguard were people who had been brought in from their work, to be used as a sort of arrow cannon.

It was impossible for such people to stand still and watch the spectacle of fanatics advancing with their eyes wide open, singing hymns, following the Ilmok Destruction Hall.

But it wasn’t that I burst out laughing because their appearance was so funny.

The enemy general’s judgment in placing such people in the battle line is ridiculous.

“I will show mercy to those who throw down their weapons and surrender!!”

Ilmok shouted and charged into the enemy lines.

“Take up your weapons now!! Those who surrender will have their entire clan destroyed!!!”

He swung the Sword of Ascension at the commander who was forcing the death of his soldiers.

Crunch.

Even the Ilmok and the Sibi. It was just the four of them tearing apart the enemy lines.

Wedge-eeeeeek.

The enemy wasn’t just a scarecrow, either, as arrows began to rain down from the sky.

It was a funny sight.

Even though the fanatics hadn’t even reached the striking distance of their arrows, they were already shooting at them.

Wedge-shaped.

Unlike the Western Naval Command, which fired arrows simultaneously at a set rhythm, the Cheonghae Army’s arrows were fired in a haphazard manner.

If the torrential rain that fell periodically like crazy in the Western Military Command, this side was a steady drizzle that fell little by little.

Of course, it was not enough to stop the advance of the Gansu Army, which had even pierced through the arrows of the Western Army Command.

“Advance!!”

“The angel of God is with you!!”

“Wow!!”

The fanatics managed to make their way through the torrential rain of arrows and reach the enemy lines.

“Ha, I surrender.”

“Please, save me.”

The number of those who threw down their weapons and surrendered began to increase exponentially.

Even as their eyes widened, the fanatics avoided those who had surrendered and only swung their weapons at those who had not yet given up.

At the forefront were Ichimoku and Sibi.

Ilmok, who had already broken through the enemy lines and reached the center of the enemy lines, let out another empty laugh.

“Those crazy guys.”

Absurdly, as we went deeper into the battle line, we began to see people who weren’t even wearing armor.

Some were even seen trembling, holding what appeared to be farm tools instead of spears.

I thought they had embezzled 5,000 munitions, but it seemed they had embezzled much more.

It was obvious that they would be punished if they showed the Western Army Command that they were missing a large number of people, so they must have brought in people who were not even given equipment as a trick. They mixed them in somewhere deep in the camp so that it wouldn’t be noticed.

“You really did a great job.”

Even though he was in the middle of a battlefield, Ichimoku shook his head without realizing it.
