Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 160
Episode 160: Beomgung (犯闕) (6)
At Seo Seon’s order, a group of private soldiers started running to the East Palace. Yangnyeong, who was looking at that scene, muttered with a cold expression.
“He was a really smart kid, but it’s a shame.”
That was the end of Yangnyeong’s appreciation. Yangnyeong’s gaze was once again fixed on Geunjeongjeon.
“Wow. “You’re sure he didn’t run away, right?”
Quack! Bang bang bang!
However, soon after, violent gunfire and loud noises began to be heard from the door leading to the East Palace.
“What’s going on?”
Yangnyeong and Seo-seon, who were looking at the middle palace, turned their gaze towards the eastern palace.
There, Hyang and the Crown Princess could be seen behind shields that looked stronger than the ones they had made.
Hyang and the Crown Princess were constantly firing their guns at the soldiers.
“What…”
* * *
Hyang and his party followed Bang Bang and arrived at the gate leading from Donggungjeon to Geunjeongjeon and discovered private soldiers running toward Donggungjeon.
“Prepare for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
Slam! Slam!
At the Hyang’s command, the chant continued, and the sound of the metal being pulled came out loudly.
Slam!
After lowering and raising the trigger finger to finish loading, Hyang looked at the shield across from him and smiled.
“They say that’s where all people’s thoughts go…. Throwing bombs!”
“Throwing bombs!”
At the Hyang’s order, several Naegumwi soldiers selected in advance took out throwing bombs and unscrewed the rear caps. Hyang gave them a joke-like joke.
“Let me show you the slinging skills I heard you used in the local stone battle.”
“Yes sir!”
When the soldiers got within 20 paces, the commander gave an order.
“Throw!”
“Throw!”
As something flew past the shield, the surrounding soldiers looked at it in surprise.
“Oh my! be careful! “It looks like they’re slinging stones!”
Cheeeeee!
At that time, smoke rose from the end of the bag along with the smell of gunpowder, and a soldier shouted in surprise.
“This this?”
“Ugh!”
At that moment, there was a loud noise and the bodies of those who were staring blankly were caught up in the explosion and flew in all directions.
bang! Quack!
The grenades thrown by the Naegeumwi soldiers shattered the ranks of the private soldiers’ shields. When the shields fell due to the explosion of the thrown bullet, Hyang immediately pulled the trigger.
“shooting!”
bang! bang! Tatang!
Private soldiers running toward the East Palace fell to the ground with screams as the soldiers of Hyang and the Crown Prince’s Royal Guard fired.
Arriving in front of the gate leading to Geunjeongjeon, crushing the private soldiers who were flocking to Donggungjeon, Hyang saw private soldiers flocking to the front yard of Geunjeongjeon.
“Exterminate the weightlifters!”
“Exterminate!”
* * *
“Huh….”
Seo-seon sighed in shock at the sight of Hyang attacking the soldiers from the direction of the East Palace.
“That crown prince….”
“He took a hit. Tsk!”
After appeasing his appetite, Yangnyeong looked at the situation.
We crossed Geunjeongmun with great momentum, but most of the Naegeumwi were already encamped in the front yard of Geunjeongjeon.
In particular, as the Naegeumwi, who had set up large shields like theirs – which looked bigger and stronger – in front of them and were aiming at the Fuhrer, the private soldiers also stopped walking and watched.
Yangnyeong screamed at the sight.
“What are they doing! The Geunjeongjeon is just around the corner! If we stop here, the only thing left is beheading! Put everything on the line in this one game! After all, it takes time to reload their fuhrer! charge!”
Nam Jun-seok screamed at Yangnyeong’s command.
“It’s a judgment call! If you win, wealth and glory will be yours! charge!”
At the words of Yangnyeong and Nam Jun-seok, the soldiers began to rush out, swearing.
“Hey shit! “You die this way, you die that way!”
“It’s a judgment call!”
“Wow!”
As the soldiers rushed in, the members of the National Guard pulled the trigger all at once.
Ta-ta-tang!
“Ahh!”
“Oops!”
“Shield soldier!”
Drurr.
As the soldiers’ shields moved forward again, Naegeumwiwi gave an order to the soldiers.
“Throw grenades!”
“Throw!”
Quack! bang!
The ranks of private soldiers’ shields collapsed due to the throwing bombs thrown by Naegumwi soldiers.
“Don’t stop!”
“charge! charge!”
The shield column collapsed due to the explosion of the thrown bomb, but the soldiers continued to charge.
Seeing this, the Naegeumwi soldiers standing right behind the shield line on the Naegeumwi side took out their mounted rifles and pulled the triggers all at once.
Tat ta ta tang!
In an instant, the Naegeumwi soldiers who fired six shots retreated, and the Naegeumwi soldiers in the next row came forward and fired horseback guns.
As the firefight continued like this, the strength of the private soldiers was quickly diminished.
“This is dangerous…”
“Wow!”
As the enervated soldiers were quietly watching, a loud shout came from behind.
“huh?”
Grand Prince Yangnyeong and Seo Seon turned their heads at the shouts heard from behind, and their expressions were in despair.
Geumgun, who was known to have gone out, had returned.
* * *
“Luckily I didn’t miss the moment.”
The training leader in charge of the gold army breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving Hanyang, King Geum rode his horse at full speed and headed for Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do.
The place Geumgun headed to was Gyeonggi Barracks in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do.
“We will recruit troops from the Gyeonggi barracks and suppress the rebels!”
The middle and lower-level commanders and soldiers rode hard after the training leader without any doubts about his words.
This was because whenever there was an invasion by Japanese pirates, they gathered their troops and went into battle in a similar way.
Geumgun, who left Hanseong early in the morning, was able to arrive at the Gwangju barracks before the sun set that day.
This was because all of the Geumgun soldiers who marched out were cavalrymen and artillerymen. Even in the early Joseon Dynasty, the main force of the Joseon Army was cavalry in both quantity and quality, and the representative example was the Geumgun.
The training leader who arrived at the Gyeonggi barracks immediately went to see Gyeonggi Byeongma Jeoldosa.
That evening, all military officers of the Geumgun Army were summoned, regardless of rank.
“We are planning to hold a meeting about future operations. “All military officers must attend the meeting.”
According to the order delivered by the messenger, the military officers of Geumgun who were resting gathered at the main house of Gamyeong where Gyeonggi Byeongmajeoldosa was staying.
“Is everyone gathered?”
“yes!”
After confirming that all of the Geumgun’s military officers had gathered, the training leader took out a small piece of paper from his pocket.
“Those whose names are called, please come forward.”
There were a total of five military officers named by the training commander. After checking the military officers who came forward, the training leader gave an order to the soldiers standing around him.
“They are traitors! “Arrest them immediately!”
“yep!”
In this way, the training commander, who eliminated the Geumgun military officers who were in secret with Seoseon, divided the Geumgun and moved.
“Send two candles to the house of the criminal Yangnyeong and send the other two candles to the house of the criminal Seo Seon. Arrest everyone in the house, search the house, and secure all physical evidence related to treason! Let all those who rebel be true! “This is a fish name!”
“yes!”
Following the command of the training commander, the Geumgun raided the house of Grand Prince Yangnyeong in Gwangju and the main house of Seoseon in Icheon.
“The remaining troops must withdraw immediately!”
Following the order of the training commander, the remaining Geum soldiers immediately left the Gyeonggi barracks and advanced north.
Geumgun took a different route than when he came down. Geumgun crossed the river near Paldang using a side road, passed through Wabu-eup, bypassed Hanseong, and headed north. After passing through Sukcheongmun Gate, the northern gate of Hanseong, the soldiers hid in the nearby forest. This place was chosen because it was a place with little traffic.
“As soon as something goes wrong in the palace, we push it down. Until then, don’t even make a sound!”
“ancient!”
It was not easy for the cavalry to hide in the mountains, but the Geumgun hid quietly, befitting its reputation as an elite force.
Two days passed, and as soon as the sound of drums and heavy drinking was heard in the palace announcing an incident, the training leader mounted his horse.
“It’s moving! “Protect Your Majesty!”
“Wow!”
Not long after Chuseok, Geumgun, relying on the still bright moonlight, began to drive his horse toward the palace.
* * *
As the Geum soldiers flocked through Geumjeongmun, the battle came to a temporary lull. As the battlefield became quiet, King Sejong, who was being escorted by Naegeumwi, stood up.
“Is it time for me to step forward?”
At that moment, the sound of incense shouting rang out in the front yard of Geunjeongjeon.
“Who told you to stop firing! The weightlifters’ president is still targeting His Highness the Prime Minister! Don’t stop firing! Release fire!”
At the same time as he shouted, Hyang raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at the private soldier who was holding the rifle nearby.
bang!
Naegeumwi’s shooting, which had stopped for a while as a signal for incense shooting, began again.
Bang bang! Ta-ta-tang! Bang bang!
When the Naegeumwi who followed the direction and the Naegeumwi who were blocking the front of Geunjeongjeon resumed shooting at the soldiers, the Geumgun who had been standing behind them also started shooting at the soldiers.
“Don’t stop firing!”
Hyang kept pulling the trigger and yelling.
‘When you have to shoot shoot! Don’t talk! Why is the villain leader chasing after me? ‘They talk back and forth at important moments and then get lost!’
It was a scent that brought to mind lines from famous western movies and traditional clichés.
Slam!
“Go Naegwan!”
“yep!”
After handing the empty gun to the internal officer and taking the reloaded rifle, Hyang spoke to the internal affairs officer who was commanding next to him.
“I’m going to see Abama! “Kill the enemies until the end!”
“I’ll add troops! “You guys, guard my Majesty!”
“ancient!”
“Crown princess! let’s go!”
“yes! Guys!”
Hyang and the Crown Princess and their party ran toward Geunjeongjeon, escorted by Naegumwi soldiers.
* * *
Hyang quickly arrived in front of Geunjeongjeon and shouted to the Naegeumwi soldier standing in front.
“Get out of the way! “You have to see Abama!”
“yes!”
When the Naegumwi soldiers cleared the way, Hyang ran towards King Sejong.
Hyang visited Sejong and immediately asked about his well-being.
“Abama! Are you safe?”
“I am OK.”
However, Hyang was not reassured and looked all over Sejong’s body.
“Whoa~. “It is heaven’s protection.”
After confirming that Sejong was safe, Hyang sighed in relief and gritted her teeth.
“Those guys! Shield soldier! “Follow me!”
“yes!”
“The eunuchs too, follow me!”
“yes.”
Accompanied by a Naegeumwi soldier carrying a shield, Hyang climbed the stairs of Geunjeongjeon.
As I climbed the stairs, the situation in the front yard of Geunjeongjeon clearly caught my eye.
“shield! “Block it well!”
“I will risk my life to stop you!”
A Naegeumwi soldier holding a shield crouched behind the shield and Hyang, who hid himself behind it, began sniping at the private soldiers.
The Naegeumwi soldiers blocking the front of Geunjeongjeon, the soldiers who came out of Donggungjeon, and the Geumgun who returned through Geunjeongmun began to pressure the private soldiers. At that time, a shout was heard from the direction of the central palace.
“Kill the weightlifters!”
“Wow!”
“Let go!”
Ta-ta-tang!
The gold soldiers who came out from the direction of the Junggungjeon also opened fire when they saw the private soldiers.
“no! “Geumgun, who must take refuge with the royal family and his royal family…”
When King Sejong saw the Geumgun rushing out of the royal palace and expressed his doubts, Queen Soheon’s voice was heard.
“majesty! Where are you? majesty!”
“Why can I hear Jungjeon’s voice from here?”
King Sejong looked perplexed at Queen Soheon’s voice, which he should not have heard.
After a while, King Sejong could not keep his mouth shut when he saw Queen Soheon appear, escorted by Naegumwi soldiers.
The gacha that I normally used had disappeared. He was holding a bow in his hand, with a traditional robe wrapped around his Dansam, which appeared to have been put on in a hurry.
“Honey. Madam….”
Upon seeing Queen Soheon, King Sejong forgot all formalities and called Queen Soheon by the title he used when he was a prince.
“Are you okay, Your Highness?”
“I am safe.”
Queen Soheon, who touched King Sejong’s whole body like incense and confirmed that he was okay, then sat down on the floor as if her tension had eased.
“Middle… Madam!”
“mama!”
While King Sejong and his wife supported Queen Soheon, Hyang looked at Queen Soheon with surprised eyes and smiled bitterly.
“Now that I think about it… my mother was married to a woman.”
She endured the hardships of her own family being caught up in a treasonous plot and being destroyed, and when a huge fire broke out in Hanseong, it was Queen Soheon who led the fire-fighting effort while still pregnant.
The battle that took place in the front yard of Geunjeongjeon ended with the appearance of a ram.
“Kill the weightlifters!”
“Waaah!”
The soldiers’ will to fight was completely broken when they saw Suyang running, dragging the soldiers guarding Myeongnyegung Palace.
However, there were some who remained determined to fight until the end. It was Nam Jun-seok, commanding the private soldiers.
“If you surrender anyway, you will die! Do your best to clear a path! “Only when Daegun and Seoseon live can we survive!”
“Wow!”
The private soldiers, enraged by the hopeless situation, attacked Geumgun in an attempt to find a way out.
However, what returned to the enraged soldiers was a barrage of thrown bombs and bullets.
