Episode 389. A mouse that entered the dock (2)
‘Is it too late?’
Congressman Nam-ho’s instinct for life, not his head, began to move smartly in search of a way to live.
If Jing Jia is already prepared to fight Cao Cao’s army, there will be no negotiations through secret passage.
From Hyung-ga’s point of view, it was something he would not even snort at.
‘I’ll have to take a closer look.’
Congressman Nam-ho hurriedly climbed a nearby tree.
Looking inside the cage from the tree, I had a better view of the foreground.
‘omg! I can’t believe this!’
His mouth fell open.
Longevity and soldiers in armor were pouring out of what was thought to be the storehouse of Jingga.
Peeing.
Suddenly, an arrow flew by. Rep. Nam-ho reflexively twisted his head to avoid the arrow.
“What kind of guy are you?”
The shooter was again measuring the arrows in the bow.
“Don’t shoot. I am Congressman Namho.”
“Anyone who spies on the original family is considered an enemy.”
Peeping…
In an instant, several arrows flew in.
Congressman Nam-ho jumped from the tree to avoid the arrow.
Pupper puck…
The arrows mercilessly pierced the tree where Congressman Nam-ho stood a moment ago.
Pee-Pip-Pip…..
“This is crazy!”
Congressman Nam-ho saw the arrow flying again and hurriedly ducked behind a tree.
“Senator, it seems that they have no will to talk to you…”
“It is all because of you that everything has gone so wrong! you stupid bastard So shut up!”
When Rep. Nam-ho got angry, Jeong-wan closed his mouth. At that
moment,
the two of them saw several of the family heads holding knives and jumping over the wall and running.
It’s a completely wrong situation to have a conversation in a good mood.
Rep. Namho gnashed his teeth and ran to Jojo’s camp.
“Stand there!”
Hyeong-gajang’s family members chased after him and fired arrows from time to time, but they could not catch Nam-ho or Jeong-wan.

“General Kwan. How did you come so soon?”
Zhang Gui was surprised to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with numerous soldiers coming out of the barn less than two weeks after sending his men.
“The Lord made a bold decision, thinking that if he looked too carefully, he might miss the time.”
“Hehe, I was worried about missing a rat, but now I feel much better.”
“If I missed the rat, would Cao Cao’s soldiers be coming soon?”
“yes. So Jingjiaju was also preparing for a decisive battle while waiting for General Kwan to come.”
When Zhang Gui gestured at the already armed soldiers of Jingjia, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei opened their eyes in a slight surprise.
Simply providing a secret passage was different in nature from preparing to fight Cao Cao’s soldiers.
The head of the brotherhood completely turned his back on Jojo and showed an attitude of following the fireman.
“To think that Hyung-ga’s resolution was this much, I would have regretted it greatly if I had delayed.”
“Just in time, the head of the family and the people of the family are here, so let me introduce you.”
“Yes, please.”
Zhang Gui introduced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Jingjia’s military commanders, who had been in Jing’s family, the deputy lords, and the generals of Jing’s family who had been in Cao Cao’s military gates and returned in a hurry.
After a round of greetings, the form of Jinggaju stepped forward and bowed his head slightly to Guanu.
“Seeing General Kwan, whom I admired for his high prowess and fame, I feel reassured as if I have gained a lot of love from my brother-in-law. Please, I will give you 2,000 family members and 500 horses, so please defeat the army of Seung Sang Jo.”
“I and other generals were all impressed by the patriarch’s wise judgment. The second party will come soon, but if the family lord gives us the gas and horses, we will be able to shake Jojo’s army and open the gates right away.”
Guan Yu’s expression softened.
They couldn’t come on horseback because they came through the secret passage, but now that they have 500 horses, they can put the existing cavalry on horseback and show off their skills.
After a while, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reorganized the military system with cavalry and infantry as all advance forces came out through the secret passage and left the gate of the prison.

“Jo Seung-sang! Joe wins!”
At the call of Congressman Nam-ho, Jojo, who was commanding the battle of the castle with the secretaries, turned his head.
“What is Congressman Nam doing?”
“It was a big deal. The soldiers of the Hwadaebu are entering through the secret passage of the jail.”
“What?”
Cao Cao’s eyes widened in astonishment, as if someone had been struck by lightning.
“We have to send an army to punish him.”
“The tongue brothers are crazy!”
“It would be appropriate to first confirm whether the words of Jugong Representative Nam-ho are true.”
When Jojo became angry, Manchong, the bookkeeper, expressed his concern.
stop.
“what?”
In an instant, Jojo’s baton flinched.
The head of the brotherhood is a family that has spared no human and material support to himself. Didn’t Confucius Hyeong-geun get hit by an arrow just two days ago while handing over weapons to the generals?
If such a loyalist family listened to Nam-ho’s words and sent troops, not only the headwind but also other families could be greatly shaken.
“Only military. I have seen with my own eyes that the enemy appears at the prison. And Wanyi, who was following me, was even shot in the shoulder by an arrow. But how could I lie to the Sang-sang about this?”
“…..”
Rep. Namho hurriedly urged Jojo again before Manchong could say anything.
“Victory! Take my word for it and send troops to the prison. If it is too late, you will suffer irreparable harm.”
“How did Congressman Nam, who was supposed to be treating patients at Uicheong, know that Hwabu’s soldiers were entering through the secret passage of the prison house?”
Man-chong still looked suspiciously at Nam-ho, but he had no choice but to hurry up and explain.
“Confucius Hyeong-geun was struck by an indecipherable arrow, and Gaui, who came to treat him, was very calm. So I sent a subordinate to find out how they treat them. So, seeing that, I rushed over and reported it to the monk.”
“What the Senator said is absolutely true. Sir, you must send troops to the prison.”
Even Jeong-Wan, who had a bandage wrapped around his shoulder, knelt down and added a word, and Jojo’s eyebrows furrowed.
No matter how fierce the battle in the castle was, it couldn’t be as dangerous as the enemy came inside.
I thought I should at least check it out.
“Hello. General Kang.”
“Your master.”
“Take 500 cavalry and go and check the behavior of the head of the prison.”
“I take orders.”
“Chief Seung-sang’s gasoline alone should be 2,000, but with only 500 soldiers…”
“Are you congressman Nam ignoring my strong soldiers? How can the gasols who do chores at best be the same as the soldiers who have been trained in war for decades?”
“Ha, but the enemy has already entered, so we need to send at least 2,000…..”
“Uh huh! We send 500 swift cavalrymen, so even if the enemy soldiers are already in, as Congressman Nam said, we will have enough power to request reinforcements. I gave an order to General Kang, and you intend not to carry it out?”
“no. I will go and look at the elder brother right away.”
As Jangsu led the cavalrymen and ran away, Congressman Namho saw a glimmer of despair in his eyes.
I know that Jojo’s judgment is wrong, but I can’t help it anymore.
‘It’s already started a big fire to burn the house, but it’s like pouring water on it. It’s gone now. I have to find a way to live too!’
“Then I’ll go back to Uicheong for now.”
When Congressman Namho tried to step down, Jojo shook his head.
“There are already an uncountable number of injured people in this castle, so treat the generals here. Mo Weissa.”
“Your master.”
“Go and call all the council members here. Moving injured soldiers to Uicheong is also a waste of time.”
“I take orders.”
“Princess, I will go and get the treatment tools.”
Congressman Nam-ho was thinking of finding a way to get out of this position by any means.
“Mo Weissa. Bring Congressman Namho. He is a precious person who will cure my illness, so there should be no negligence in dealing with him.”
“Your master. I’ll keep that in mind. Congressman Nam, let’s go.”
“Yes. Yes.”
Rep. Nam-ho was not happy at all when the guards and several soldiers were attached to him, but he couldn’t express it and moved toward the Uicheong.
‘shit!’
Nam-ho, who was heading to the fortress with medical equipment, came out of his mouth like a duck’s snout.
He looked for an opportunity to escape several times, but a guard named Mo did not take his eyes off him even for a moment after hearing Jojo’s request. Thanks to that, he still couldn’t escape and had to return to the castle with other members to treat the wounded.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I’d rather go to the head of the family or hide among the people in disguise…’ While
treating the wounded and examining the situation on the battlefield, even if the enemy soldiers didn’t invade through the head of the brotherhood, they couldn’t hold out for long. It looked like the castle would fall.
‘The number and momentum of the enemy soldiers are staggering!’
I turned my head to see Cao Cao’s headquarters, shouting at his throat, waving flags and beating drums, but he looked hopeless.
Because it was in danger, it would be to spend a lot of energy and make a fuss.
‘By the way, why is the chieftain so quiet?’
I clearly saw that the enemy soldiers were pouring out like that. Because of this, he would have no choice but to run into the soldiers sent by Jojo, but it was curious that there was no sign of anything yet.
‘Isn’t it time for a message by now?’
Udu-du-du-du…..
Then, suddenly, the sound of numerous horse hooves was heard.
When I turned my head, from afar, there were cavalrymen who looked decent enough running toward the east gate.
‘what? The enemy soldiers are obvious… How can there be so many cavalry?’
Horses could not come through the crypt.
And even if the chieftain had horses, there couldn’t be too many of them in a war like this.
While Congressman Nam-ho was puzzled, Jojo was frightened.
“The enemy has appeared. The enemy is heading towards the east gate. Block the road to the east gate!”
Surprised, Xiahoudon was the first to lead the guards protecting Cao Cao and run to meet the enemy soldiers.
* * *
Guan Yu armed his cavalry and led all the remaining men to raid the stable where the horses were kept.
Cao Cao’s army rarely rode horses during the siege, so most of the soldiers’ horses were kept in the stable.
Even though they were soldiers, those who guarded the horses were not outstanding, so they were killed without even being informed of the enemy’s attack, and Guan-wu was able to change all his men to horseback cavalry.
When the soldiers brought in and the family members of the head of the family were added, the total number of soldiers was 3,000.
While Guan Yu was converting the soldiers into cavalry, a message came from Jingjiazhuang that the second group had arrived.
When I went back to the prison, I saw that the soldiers sent by Cao Cao were fighting with the second party.
Guan Yu immediately led 3,000 cavalrymen and wiped out Cao Cao’s soldiers, and then led some of the continuously pouring out rearguards and charged toward the east gate of the city.
