Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 416

Gwangmyeong (3)

The next morning.

The Gansu and Shaanxi armies gathered in Xi’an were divided into two large groups and went out to attack.

It was not divided into Shaanxi and Gansu armies. Due to the morale problems of the Shaanxi army, the two armies were mixed together and organized into new units. They were divided into Oman and Sanman respectively and headed towards Ankang and Hanzhong.

The commander-in-chief of the Oman army heading to Ankang was the Left Army’s Ilmok, and the commander-in-chief of the Three Thousand Army heading to Hanjung was the Right Army’s Dokgo Ryong.

In terms of importance, Hanjung was greater, but geographically, Hanjung was like a natural fortress, and it was possible to send reinforcements from Angang while holding out as a fortress, so the military was divided in this way.

If there is one thing that makes Ichimoku anxious, it is only one thing.

‘Dokgo Ryong. I’m afraid that crazy old man will open the gates wide and charge in instead of defending Su-seong.’

It was the temper of Dokgo Ryong who had become a raccoon.

‘… All I can do is pray that those who went with me will do a good job. Since the three brothers went with me, things will work out somehow.’

Among the Shaanxi Province’s allies, there were a total of five masters who had reached the current level of Hanhai Jing.

The right-handed dragon. The left-handed dragon.

Hwangbo Se-ga-ju Hwangbo-ak. Amyeong-gak-ju Seo Wan-pyeong.

Lastly, Jin Ha-yeon, the person in charge of Ilmok.

Among these five, Dokgo Ryong and Seo Wan-pyeong were leading the Han-Jung side of the army.

Seo Wan-pyeong has become quite mature now, so I thought he might be able to stop Dokgo Ryong’s crazy actions.

‘… Or, I guess I’ll just have to pray for the Central Military Command to come to Ankang.’

It was a moment where I just wanted to put my mind at ease and pray that the two hundred thousand strong army would come to Ankang.

If they knew the true nature of Ichimoku, there would be many people here who would be shocked.

‘I’m really going out to fight?’

These people originally belonged to the Seomseo County.

Thanks to the morale of the Gansu Army, which was so high that it seemed like it was going crazy, they had calmed down a little, but as soon as they set out, they were once again overcome with anxiety.

The sound of drums penetrated the ears of the soldiers from the Shaanxi Army who were walking awkwardly with stiff expressions.

It was a familiar beat.

As I walked to the beat as if possessed, I heard familiar lyrics coming from all around me.

It was a song that the soldiers from Gansu Army had been singing since yesterday.

Was it called a hymn?

“Fight the wicked, you sin-free brothers!”

“I will fight boldly against those evil enemies over there!”

The soldiers from Gansu Province who sang the song were in a cheerful mood, as if they had no fear at all.

As if they had forgotten that a war was about to begin.

At that moment, a soldier from Gansu Province who was walking beside the soldier from Shaanxi Province smiled and tapped the soldier from Shaanxi Province on the arm with his elbow.

“You should try calling me too. All your worries and concerns will disappear.”

It sounded like a pharmacist’s nonsense.

But, if I just kept my mouth shut, I would continue to feel anxious.

The soldier from Seomseo County, who had been hesitating and trembling, sang along to the hymn in a mumbling manner.

“Gwang~myeong Gwang~myeong Cheonmasin~gyo.”

It was a bit awkward, but since the Gansu Army soldiers had been singing it nonstop since last night, I at least remembered the beat and the lyrics.

The pitch was impossible to tell. They were all singing with all their might, so the pitch was impossible to discern.

Anyway, I feel a lot more relieved than when I kept my mouth shut.

“Hahaha. Good! Sing it louder! Come on!”

Then, the Gansu Army soldier who was standing next to me shouted with even more excitement and recited the following lyrics.

It wasn’t just that soldier. Such scenes were unfolding everywhere in the advancing units.

Is it because there are more and more people around me singing along? Is it because there are many people encouraging me to do so?

“Gwang! Ming! Gwangmyeong! Cheonmasin! Kyo!!”

Before long, the soldiers of the Shaanxi Army also began singing hymns at the top of their lungs to overcome their anxiety.

“Hehehe. Sounds good.”

The soldiers of the former Gansu Army who had successfully completed the mission smiled happily. Their eyes were sparkling with madness.

* * *

The Omani army, which had set out from Xi’an, moved for five days and arrived at Ankang.

It was a long journey of hundreds of miles. Every day, they had to walk until their feet were covered in blisters, but strangely, the soldiers’ morale did not drop.

Rather than fading away, as each day passed, the sound of the hymn that echoed during the march grew louder.

As the hymns grew louder and louder, echoing from all directions, Il-mok, who was moving through the center of the unit, suddenly had this thought.

‘… Is this okay?’

Although he had previously introduced various methods for evangelism, he had not done anything particularly special since coming to Shaanxi.

It was unclear at first glance why the number of believers kept increasing even though nothing had been done.

‘Well, it’s a good thing since morale is high ahead of the war.’

When he had put aside his useless worries, Comrade Do Ji-hwi approached Ilmok with hurried steps.

“Left wing! A signal has been sent from the scouts we sent earlier!”

“Are you saying that the Central Military Command is coming this way?”

“Yes!”

Ichimoku couldn’t tell whether he should be happy or sad about this.

But now was not the time to worry about such things.

“How far was it?”

“Judging from where the signal came from, if we move quickly, we will arrive around sunset tomorrow. If we move while conserving the soldiers’ stamina, we will probably arrive around noon two days later.”

Ilmok clicked his tongue slightly as if he felt regret and opened his mouth.

“It is regrettable that we cannot give the soldiers a rest, but there is nothing we can do. Immediately begin repair work on the castle and move the war supplies to the castle walls.”

“I will do so.”

After saluting, the commanding officer left the room and ran out to give orders to the mid-level commanders.

Soon, the order was relayed to the soldiers, and the soldiers who had arrived at Angang and were resting for a while, quickly got up and started moving around.

* * *

Around the afternoon of the next day.

A huge garrison formed about thirty li away from Angang.

In the command barracks located in the center of the garrison where two hundred thousand troops were densely packed, the Central Army Commander and Eunuch Bang, one of the Eunuchs of Byeongpil, were holding a meeting.

“If we briefly organize the camp in the morning and set out, we should arrive near Angang around noon.”

When one of the military governors of the Central Military Command pointed to a map and reported, the Central Military Commander nodded and looked at Eunuch Bang.

“Have you heard anything separately from Your Majesty?”

Since Eunuch Gong, who had left the Forbidden City on orders from Grand Duke Taekong, had not yet arrived here, no special news had been delivered.

However, since Eunuch Bang had also been serving Taekong for decades, it was possible to make a guess.

“What Your Majesty the King wishes is the annihilation of all the thugs who call themselves martial artists. In addition, those who dare to oppose the government and the imperial family must be killed without exception.”

Eunuch Bang, who had said so, pointed with his finger towards Hubei.

“In other words, the biggest goal of this war is to wipe out not only the demonic cult bastards, but also all the martial artists of the Central Plains.”

The news that the Central Plains martial artists had gathered there and were waging war against the Demonic Cult’s allies had already been relayed to the Central Military Command.

“Hmm. If that’s the case, then there’s no need to fight recklessly since we have to induce a fight between the Demonic Cult and the Central Plains martial artists.”

The commander’s words seemed reasonable at first glance, but for some reason, Eunuch Bang shook his head.

“That’s true, but shouldn’t you establish a major?”

His eyes were filled with greed. Having made a big mistake in the past and lost his position as admiral, he was thirsty for his major.

“If we completely wipe out the demonic bastards in Shaanxi, we’ll be helping the Central Plains thugs, so how about advancing only as far as Xi’an?”

The commander of the central army asked back at Eunuch Bang’s suggestion.

“Hoo. After we advance that far, they’re saying we should hold out in front of the walls of Xi’an.”

“That’s right.”

Although he was a military officer protecting the empire, he was the commander of the Central Army who willingly took Taekonggong’s line.

Although he had now risen to one of the top ranks among the imperial military officers, he had no intention of being satisfied with this.

He wanted to rise to the highest position among the officials.

To do this, we needed results that would satisfy Taekonggong.

“Hehehe. We must punish the demonic cult bastards who caused trouble by deceiving the people and establish His Majesty the Emperor’s authority.”

The general and the eunuch.

Two men who seemed completely incompatible looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

* * *

Around noon the next day.

The sound of drums and horns echoed incessantly throughout the walls of Angang.

The soldiers of Ankang moved in unison and took up positions, filling the castle walls.

Some held bows to shoot arrows from the walls, others held shields to block the blinding arrows of the enemy, and still others held spears to push back those who were climbing the walls.

Gulp.

Among the soldiers positioned on the walls, the sound of swallowing spit echoed.

They were government troops from Shaanxi Province.

On the way to Angang, I was able to push away my anxiety a little by singing hymns.

It was the same when the walls were being repaired and preparations were being made for battle.

but.

‘You’re saying we’re going to wage war against those numbers?’

After seeing the two hundred thousand strong army with their own eyes, the anxiety they had felt when they thought they had been blown away grew stronger and came over them.

Starting from a little over a mile away from the walls of Angang, a wave of people filled the field of vision.

The castle walls, which had always felt so tall and sturdy, now felt like something worthless.

In the first instance, I didn’t feel fear, but inside I was sticking my tongue out.

‘If two hundred thousand is this much, then how many million soldiers was the army we learned about in history?’

But he didn’t reveal his true feelings. If the leader showed a tired expression, it could affect the morale of the others.

Ilmok raised his internal energy while looking at the enemy. Before the battle, he intended to raise the morale of his allies and lower the enemy’s morale even a little.

but.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The enemy troops who had just reached the castle walls had no intention of taking a break, and began to charge all at once to the sound of drums.

‘Those crazy guys.’

The enemy lines were charging forward with their shields raised, and between them, ladders to climb the wall and trampolines to break down the wall could be seen.

“Left-handed.”

Comrade Do Ji-hwi’s voice was heard from the side. He was asking when to start shooting the bow and gun.

At that question, Ichimoku glanced around the battlefield.

‘Hmm. If I blow it up here, I’ll be blown all the way to the castle wall.’

While Ilmok was pondering what to do, he remembered something and gave an order to his commanding officer.

“I will send the signal first. As flashily as possible. And I will leave the command during battle to you.”

While Comrade Do Ji-hwi looked at Il-mok with an expression of incomprehension.

Pot.

Ilmok immediately flew into the air, then performed a midair stride and ran across the sky.

Although it was facing the enemy, there was a strange movement.

Instead of walking straight ahead, his steps were tilted toward the sky.

As if he was about to ascend to heaven.

one side.

Among the soldiers who were looking at the enemy with tense faces, someone shouted.

“The Left Master is flying through the sky!”

At that strange shout, some of the soldiers who had been staring at the enemy turned their gaze to the sky.

“Wow!!”

Some people were amazed by the movements that were like a god’s breath, but for others, their anxiety only grew.

“Are these guys crazy as a group…?”

I wondered what they were doing when there was such a huge number of enemies rushing towards them that it was hard to even look at them.

at that time.

The left wingman, who seemed to be rising into the sky, suddenly stopped walking and began to fall to the ground. Heading towards the heads of the enemy who were charging forward.

Then someone shouted.

“Light! It’s light!!”

Those who had fought alongside him several times could recognize him.

The appearance of two beads of different colors appearing in the hands of Ichimoku who started to fall.

The government troops from Shaanxi, who had been trying hard to maintain their tension while looking at the enemy, finally raised their heads and looked at the whole place.

“light?”

Because I thought this was nonsense.

At the same time, a rumor that had spread in Xi’an some time ago came to mind.

One of the mythical achievements of the Left.

– When he says, “Let there be light,” there is light in the world.

The moment they recall that exaggerated rumor.

The two energies formed in Ichimoku’s two hands mixed together and formed one giant bead.

– That light is the light that destroys evil.

As the falling Ichimoku raised his double sword, the giant Taegeuk orb flew up and headed towards the enemy’s heads.

For some reason, all the soldiers on the wall were captivated by the leisurely scene that did not seem appropriate for a situation where two hundred thousand troops were charging forward.

It’s so annoying.

Then came the sound of thousands of birds flying in.

Oh my goodness, there was light.
