Episode 314. The fireman’s ploy (1)
Heck heck…..
Yu Eo, who ran away all night and greeted the morning with open eyes, got off the horse and sat down without being able to stand up at all.
Will’s body was already over 50, so his stamina was noticeably weak.
“Your mother is thirsty. Bring some water.”
At the words of the will, Mom An shook her head with a puzzled expression.
“I couldn’t afford to pack anything because I was running away in a hurry.”
“what! no water? Then I have to come to save you…”
Yu Eon said while realizing where they were now, she closed her mouth.
The place where they were now was a desolate wilderness on all sides.
It was such a place where you could see a sandy desert in the distance and sparse cacti and weeds.
I can’t say that I can’t bring myself to get water from a place like this.
“W Where is this place?”
“It must be the Dhow Wilderness.”
“You ran away all night, but you still can’t get out of here?”
“The Dhow Wilderness is very wide. Yesterday, I was at the entrance…..”
Udu-du-du-du…
At that time, the sound of horses’ hooves was heard from far away, enough to shake the ground slightly.
Enemies who thought they had been ostracized all night came after them.
“Juju Gong. It seems the enemy has caught up again. Get on your horse.”
Yoo Eon hurriedly got up and mounted the horse, but frowned as she felt pain in her thighs, hips, and groin.
Riding all night, not only those parts, but also the hips screamed from the bones, and the hands holding the reins were blistered.
Since he was a member of the royal family, he only rode in a carriage or palanquin, so his body couldn’t stand it.
Peeing…..
Then there was the sound of something cutting through the air and the window in my mother’s eyes moved like lightning.
Caang.
“What is it?”
“It is an arrow.”
“Can an arrow fly all the way here from a long distance?”
“It seems that there is someone who has a shrine among the enemy generals.”
Most of the bows are made of bamboo, but sometimes longevity used special bows made of buffalo horns or melted iron.
No more arrows flew, but Ma An’s expression became serious.
‘A person who rides a horse and shoots an arrow accurately aiming for the main attack on that street… I don’t know if I can handle it.’
As you can see ten by looking at one, those who shoot arrows well are naturally excellent at martial arts.
Eom An himself has a horn bow made of buffalo horns and is second to none in terms of strength, but he did not have the confidence to shoot an arrow that far.
Power went into the hand that was holding the spear.
‘I’ve heard that Lu Bu is good at archery… Did the fisherman send Lu Bu to the Korean-Chinese army?’
Sending a general to the relief army didn’t suit the business, but the only thing that came to mind was Yeo Pu if he had such skill with a bow.
“Come on, take the lead.”
At that time, the will urged Mom An, who was lost in thought.
Mom An brandished her spear and stepped forward. However, the direction to come out was not the back, but the front where the enemies were flocking.
“Run away as far as you can while I fight.”
“what? Let’s run away together.”
“As you can see, all sides are open, so you can’t get past the enemies by running away together. What are you doing? Hurry up and take the governor.”
“yes.”
When Eom An gave orders to the managers, they escorted and led the will.
“Lord, please follow us.”
“Oh, General Um. Please defeat the enemies and come.”
“All right. I will decapitate the enemy general and follow the main gun, so please go.”
“I get it.”
Yu Eon turned her head and looked at her mother while running.
Eom An calmly averted his gaze and then ran towards the enemy camp with over a thousand cavalrymen.
“You guys follow me.”
“yes.”
Ududududu…..
‘I don’t know if it’s Yeopo or not…. If I’m going to die, I’d like it to be Yeopo!’
Eom Ahn proudly told the will to slit the head of the enemy general, but in her heart she thought that she would not survive this fight.
The distance that was far away became closer in an instant as we met and ran.
“I am Ma An, the great general of the army of Chok! Who will take my spear?”
“I am Guan Yu, the 8th general of Yeju County. I will take your spear!”
“Gwanwoo! It’s a pity that it’s not Yeo-po, but it’s worth competing with the spear for Sang-jang’s army!”
“what? Don’t be arrogant about the theme of the defeat that ran away all night!”
Kwak kak kak kak…
The spears collided and sparks flew.
‘I have no intention of living!’
Gwan-wu frowned as he received the attack-oriented spear that gave up mother-an’s defense.
It is a frightening law for even a weak woman to fight with the determination to give up her life, but when the general representing the army of Chok attacked with the determination to give up her life, the momentum was quite amazing.
‘I can’t deal with this on a whim either!’
Guan-wu threw away the complacency he had heard for a while and swung the spear with all his might.
Chew.
When you swing the spear at the opponent’s side, the opponent does not avoid it, but changes the path of the spear and stabs the heart.
As he twisted his body to get out of the way of the spear and continued to cut his side, before he knew it, the opponent also twisted his body and got out of the way of the spear.
‘You are indeed the great general of the Chokgun! It’s a skill that’s not inferior to gold or equipment!’
Sup.
Gwan-woo took a short breath at the moment and raised his inner strength and used secret techniques in succession. The path of the spear bizarrely twisted and cut off the opponent’s thigh.
The opponent’s spear aimed and pierced his heart again, but he continued to swing his spear, believing in the hardness of his breastplate and armor.
kaang seokkeol.
The moment sparks flew from his chest, he received a shock as if he had been hit with a huge hammer, but Guan Yu clenched his teeth and swung the spear once more.
pug.
The spear that had cut the opponent’s thigh drew a semicircle and struck the opponent’s helmet.
“Kuuk!”
In an instant, Eom An was cut on her thigh and hit in the head by a spear, causing her to fall off her horse.
‘Hup!’
Caang.
Ma An didn’t even have time to come to his senses. He saw Guan Yu’s spear falling over his head and reflexively raised it to block it. And at that moment, between the torn armor of the opponent, I saw a breastplate that was split open.
‘Ho Ho Heart! Damn somehow! It was a blow of conversion…’
I felt sorry that if I had stabbed him in the stomach, I would have penetrated him, but it was already too late.
Quaang kang kang…..
“Keuuugh!”
My hand couldn’t stand it as I continued to block the spear that the opponent swung on top of the horse while sitting down.
Eventually, the spear pole bent, breaking his wrist, and the spear flew past him, cutting his throat.
Wow!
After cutting off his mother’s neck and killing the enemy soldiers around him, he could no longer speak and coughed up blood.
“Is your brother okay?”
When the equipment that saw it rode a horse and tried to help it, Guan Yu waved his hand.
“It’s okay.”
“Your breastplate is broken, how can you be okay? Leave the rest of the war to me and go to the rear.”
“Still more to fight…. Ugh!”
Gwan-woo vomited another sip of blood while talking and smiled bitterly.
“Brother, hurry up and get back.”
“Ah got it.”
“Dang-Ji Lee is in the back, so hurry up and go to him.”
After pushing the wandering Guan Yu off his back, Equipment took out an arrow from his back and aimed it at Will, who was running away.
‘There used to be a longevity who protected me, but there isn’t one now… I’ll be able to catch them if I do well.’
Piung.
The moment he let go of the bowstring, the bowstring, which had been bent as if it were about to break, opened and the arrow flew high into the sky.
I couldn’t hear the sound of an arrow being hit in the distance because of the fighting of the generals and soldiers around me, but I could see the horse suddenly jolted and the will fell off the horse and rolled on the floor.
“Got it!”
Equipment cheered and ran towards the place where the will fell, swinging a spear with a bow on its back.
* * *
When the escaped will was caught in the hands of equipment and surrendered, Lü Bu, who received the order of the fire department, had been attacking the capital of the Gunwi Army for several days.
When the fighting first started, the generals of the capital of the Qianwei army led their soldiers and fought against Lü Bu, but they lost a lot of battle and fled, locking the gates tightly and starting to defend themselves.
There was a lot of war supplies stored in the capital of Geonwigun. As arrows poured down like rain while holding on to the fortress, even Lupo, the strongest general in the world, could not penetrate the gate.
“Soldier Zhuge. What point is not there?”
Lü Bu let out a frustrated sigh and asked. Zhuge Liang looked at the model castle and pondered for a while before shaking his head.
“The castle is high and solid, and there are many arrows and oil as if it had been preparing for war for a long time…. It is not easy to think of the number right now.”
“Then should we continue the war of attrition like this?”
“If the war of attrition continues, the damage to the soldiers will increase, so I think it would be better to turn the soldiers back and go to attack the Korean and Chinese forces, and then greet the returning troops. They said they passed Oguk-hyeon three days ago, so they will arrive here in four or five days.”
“That would be better. If we dig a trap in the way they come, we can achieve plausible results.”
“You must be quite tired because you have traveled a long way and come back, and you must have been attacked by General Wu Jin. I think it will be enough to find a place to rest with water and a wide area and lay in ambush around it.”
“Since we can’t remove all the soldiers…”
The fireman, who had been silently listening to Lu Pu and Zhuge Liang’s words, suddenly looked at the castle of the Gunwi army, which was struggling to attack, and suddenly put his hand on his knee. He sighed and opened his mouth.
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to destroy the castle if only arrows fell?”
At the fireman’s sudden words, the two of them made a puzzled expression.
“That’s right. However, from our attacks so far, it is clear that the enemy is stocking up on a lot of arrows, so the returning Ganwi army will arrive before the arrows run out.”
“Right. So how about changing the method a bit? Let’s try to exhaust the enemy’s arrows through the night and dawn.”
“yes? But fighting at night is too dangerous for us.”
“Of course it is. So, I think it would be okay to just pretend to attack and use straw mats, wood, and straw only for arrow holders and put them on the soldiers’ heads.”
“Even the main enemy will fire arrows when the night fight starts. On the contrary, mats and straw can be exposed to enemy fire and increase damage.”
“I agree with what the military said. Above all, if we don’t light the torches, the other side will be suspicious, and if we do, our intentions will be revealed. I don’t think the enemies will shoot arrows blindly.”
“The general’s words are also true. But did you know that there is a great lake to the west?”
The fireman quietly put the map down.
“When I watched it early in the morning for the past few days, the water fog was thick. It’s like once every two days, but today I was weak, so I’m afraid I’ll probably be pretty tight tomorrow.”
“Is it foggy at dawn?”
“Yes, I went out to treat an urgent patient, and it turned out that way. Of course, it disappeared just before dawn.”
After thinking for a while, Yeopo also opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the fireman.
“Come to think of it, every morning a mist came out from the west and flowed. Could it be that the Duke of Zhou has been monitoring the weather all along?”
“Could I have had the operation in mind? It just came to my mind as I was thinking of a last resort.”
“Then it is possible.”
Zhuge Liang quickly began to move the words on the map.
“On the contrary, if we light our torches and pretend to go straight ahead, slowing down our pace, we think we will be able to use up a lot more arrows than usual.”
When Zhuge Liang responded with sparkling eyes, the painter made a satisfied expression.
