The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 484
Chapter 484
Jinmu and the Iron Swordsman raided the camp of the left army five times day and night, moving an unbelievable distance of five hundred li from the water.
Enemy position?
It didn’t matter.
Because there was an all-round auditory detector, Hwangshin.
However, the enemy’s defenses became more and more solid, as if they had a good contact system and shared the fact of the raid.
Fear is like that.
If you meet alone, you will run away in fear, but if you are together, each other will give each other the strength to endure.
Fortunately, however, results began to appear.
Although they couldn’t reduce the number of enemies, they burned all the food they were aiming for, and as the battle continued, the number of people leaving the battlefield increased noticeably.
But now it was time to step back and rest.
It was because the number of injured in the Iron Sword Team increased considerably.
Top masters were able to overcome physical fatigue with the power of internal energy, but not all had the same martial arts skills.
* * *
A valley far from the battlefield.
Jinmu and his party gathered and sat down in the middle of the Iron Swordsman’s camp, who fell into a sound sleep.
“Haha, that’s strange.”
“…….”
Everyone looked at Jinmu as if he didn’t know why, as he spoke to himself like a sigh.
“Strange. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.”
“What?”
Jinmu ignored Chun Woo-myeong’s question and was lost in thought.
Well, there’s no way you’ll understand even if you talk, and your mouth will only hurt… … .
What’s left or right?
It is a law to organize a group according to its original purpose.
Composed of relatively powerful warriors, break the brunt of the enemy, sometimes break through the defense of the enemy camp, and the most troops to exert great power in an all-out war, so the middle army where the head of the group is located, and when the battlefield is fierce, the troops are reinforced A rear army to help retreat in case of defeat.
Lastly, the left and right armies aim for the enemy’s loopholes at an unexpected moment through detour maneuvers.
This was the five-gun organization commonly used in wars that mobilize large armies.
When it came to tactics, even Jinmu, who was no different from an outsider, knew that much.
According to what I found out through response, the place where Jinmu attacked would be around their left army.
However, in the camp of the left army attacked by Jinmu, there were only commanders who had a borderline spirit.
If the purpose of detour maneuver is to put mobility first, there must be a fast unmanned even if there is no strong unmanned.
Even under the critical attack, where food stores were burning, the people who could be bothered didn’t even poke their noses.
There were just too many useless people.
I wouldn’t do such an unheard of and stupid thing to deploy a tactic because of the left army… … .
“That’s awful… … What happened?”
“So what?”
“…….”
Woo Myung-ah, stop asking and go to sleep. Every time you talk, your thoughts keep getting cut off.
“Lord.”
“……?”
“Do you find it strange that the enemy camp was so lax?”
“……?”
At Seohyeon Neung’s cautious question, Jinmu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Why is that?”
“Were you watching the battlefield?”
“It just seems like your lord… … .”
“…….”
Oh, did you follow me?
That’s unique in its own way.
“why? What? what?”
Chun Woo-myeong, who felt alienated from the story going on without him, looked at the two in turn, then agitated with a sweet expression.
“Tell me too. What is it?”
“Ah, that… … .”
Seohyun Neung sighed briefly as she tried to explain to him.
Now she knew.
Cheon Woo-myeong, one of Sapaeo’s kings and the iron-blooded fist who has no one to follow except for Jinmu.
And the most stupid idiot in the world.
You should tell him… … .
“Whew.”
“Damn it! You sighed now! uh! uh!?”
“Whoa… … .”
“What a pair!”
Chun Woo-myeong, whose face flushed red at the sight of him shaking his head as if taking a longer break was not enough, clenched his fists as if to retaliate at any moment.
“This bastard is real!”
right!
“Ugh!”
“Shut up!”
“sorry.”
Chun Woo-myeong, who had quickly shrunk like a deflated ball, pouted at Jin-mu’s scolding on the head.
“Anyway, how old are you? Why do you try to solve it with your fists every day? You should also do something called development, development.”
“… … No, someone said it was only done with fists.”
“Mr. Pak.”
“…….”
It’s unfair and it’s unfair again.
Isn’t it much more serious to settle with fists than words?
It was never a scolding that a poop-stained dog should have heard, but even after waking up from death, I couldn’t say that.
Unless you want to lie down for at least a month.
“… … sorry.”
Jinmu, who was trying to tease Chun Woo-myeong, who apologized repeatedly, pointed at Neung Seo-hyeon with a gesture of his chin.
“Tell me what you feel.”
“… … That’s it yet.”
“are you okay.”
“…….”
After hesitating for a while at Jinmu’s permission, Seohyun slowly opened her mouth.
After the last battle, she learned that Jinmu recovers after each battle.
So she tried it too.
In order to carry out a proper escort mission by the side, it was important to understand the intentions of the escort target, even though martial arts were martial arts.
The conclusion was the same as Jinmu.
“The enemies are much weaker than I thought.”
“…….”
“No matter how many lords there are, even if it was an attack with the Iron Swordsman’s breakthrough power and the Hwang Guard’s extrasensory ability, it was too easy considering the number of enemies.”
“that’s right.”
“Also, it was a little different from the battle that was said to have taken place between the vanguard.”
“different?”
“yes. There were no children, no women, no old people in the left army. Also, the poison of the black snake that they usually use did not appear.”
“hmm… … .”
Jinmu nodded.
It was as she said.
No matter how hostile they were, they couldn’t kill a child, an old man, or a woman.
Perhaps that would have made the battle a bit more difficult.
Because the fight to kill and the fight not to kill were heaven and earth.
“Why?”
“well. So far… … .”
“…….”
Jinmu smiled and tapped her on the shoulder a couple of times before she lowered her eyes in apologetic manner.
Seeing the battlefield itself is not that difficult.
objectively… … Although it may be difficult to see
Anyway, it is important to analyze and make judgments through it.
For him, it was necessary to have long experience and insight into the intentions of the enemy.
Jinmoo was something I instinctively learned through my body while rolling on the battlefield for 80 years.
Aside from him, only Zhuge Hyeopjin, who sits at the desk and watches a thousand miles, or Jeoksaeng, who instantly reads the situation at the scene of battle, would have that kind of discernment?
“Well, I think the core masters have left the battlefield.”
“……?”
“The problem is where it is, but if the masters were stolen, there must be a reason.”
The fact that the flow of the battlefield has changed means that the enemy is preparing something.
In the end, it was important to figure out the enemy’s intentions. so that you don’t get swayed.
“First of all, wouldn’t it be better to look around the enemy lines a little more?”
“I guess so. Because there is still too little information.”
“yes. It has created quite a bit of confusion on the left side, so it seems necessary to go deeper.”
“That is the right idea.”
“…….”
When Seohyeon Neung speaks, Jinmu nods.
That natural thump made Chun Woo-myeong very upset.
How can I say it, feeling like you’ve been robbed of your long-time lover?
shit. Like a bad demonic cult woman.
However, I had no choice but to groan inwardly, fearing that even that would be beaten by Jinmu.
“Now, rest for a moment. Because tomorrow is going to be a little more intense.”
“All right.”
When Jinmu finished the meeting, Neung Seo-hyeon lightly lowered his head and moved in search of a place to rest.
“You sleep too.”
“God bless you.”
“… … Damn, do whatever you want.”
When everyone started to fall asleep, Jinmu, who had nothing to think about, got up and walked, and Chun Woo-myeong followed quietly behind him.
From now on, he firmly pledged that he would never give up Jinmu to Neung Seo-hyeon.
“Lord.”
“huh?”
Hwangshin hurriedly approached Jinmu, who was just walking around the resting place and organizing his thoughts.
“why?”
“I have found enemies.”
“… … what?”
enemy?
Could it be that the location of the Iron Blade was exposed?
“Is it a surprise?”
When Jinmu lowered his voice, Hwangshin shook his head.
“no. Regardless of us, they are just moving enemies. I told Gakchul to follow him secretly.”
Enemy on the move? Could it be that it has something to do with the changing flow of the battlefield?
“Should I wake up the Iron Sword?”
At the word “enemy,” Chun Woo-myeong quickly changed his gaze and asked.
At times like this, it seems that there is quite a bit of notice… … .
“okay. You may be tired, but in case you don’t know, wake everyone up. Take a break in each position, but move as soon as your life drops.”
“yes!”
Chun Woo-myeong jumped, and Jin-moo moved to the direction of the horn, using Hwang-shin’s hearing.
* * *
Gakchul, whom Hwangsin met at the place where he stopped, was looking for enemies far away.
The number of enemies is approximately… … five hundred?
It was a similar number to the core force that followed Mangung and Eungjo.
They were hiding in the darkness where the moonlight didn’t reach, setting up guards and organizing camps.
“I just got a seat. Seeing that they don’t make a separate bed for them, it seems that they are thinking of just having a moment of luck and leaving.”
“…….”
I was watching from quite a distance so as not to be seen, so I couldn’t even check the outfits of the enemies.
Jinmu was deep in thought.
Moving cautiously means being mindful of possible enemies.
Also, only luck means moving quickly.
“It seems to be from the east. It seems that he has more than a certain level of inaction… … . Judging by the rough breathing, it seems that it has been running for quite some time.”
“hmm.”
The emperor would have listened, so the judgment would be correct.
What if the drummers ran so hard that their breathing became rough?
“The incense of Hebei?”
“I think so. Besides Eungjo and Mangung, who collapsed on us, there were three more Muhyang.”
“…….”
Jinmu’s eyes narrowed.
Could it be that they gave up Hebei after being attacked?
no.
Don’t be quick to judge.
Hebei is the closest attack route to the Forbidden City. There was no way they would give up their prey so easily.
Five hundred of them.
Judging from the previous two fights against Muhyang, it is clear that they left behind those wearing red guns.
If so, he wouldn’t have abandoned Hebei yet.
However, the left army seems to have left its core masters.
And what if the muhyang who hid in the north of Hebei are moving?
… … The conclusion was one.
They’re gathering troops.
It seemed that something was about to happen in Shaanxi or Shanxi.
“The emperor.”
“yes.”
“Tell Jeoksaeng and Jegal Hyeopjin about the current situation, and bring the iron sword. Woo Myung will be preparing.”
“Are you planning to attack?”
“No, now it is urgent to find out the enemy’s intentions. In case the other two unscented ones may also move, keep as much distance as possible and follow them while being vigilant.”
“All right.”
Jinmu, who sent the emperor back, looked at the enemies with sharp eyes and sharp eyes.
* * *
“Heavenly Power.”
“Speak.”
Adjutant Naengsang cautiously asked Muhyang of Heavenly Power, who had recovered his internal energy after his luck.
“What happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“Our mission was to attack Hebei.”
“…….”
“If there was an attack by the enemy, an order to find and attack them should have been given… … How was he supposed to come back?”
Heavenly Power, who was staring at the mysterious face of the cold statue, loosened the seat and raised a giant.
chin!
“Ouch!”
There wasn’t even a change in expression or a warning that seemed like he was going to die.
In an instant, the celestial power that grabbed the cold chest by the neck growled lowly.
“Are you the kind of person who dares to question the Grand Palace Lord’s order?”
“Ouch, ooh… … I-I just… … .”
“cold frame.”
“…….”
The two eyes of heavenly power, which lifted the cold-skinned body as it held its neck, glistened with life in the darkness.
“Our Muhyang received the grace of the Grand Palace Lord and was raised with his limbs.”
“…….”
“Hands and feet do not think or judge. I just follow.”
“sorry. forgive, forgive… … .”
The cold-sang, who barely asked for forgiveness with a red-hot face, was released only when he was suffocating and his eyes were blinding.
“Kek, kek… … .”
“I rested enough to rest. The order to return has been given, so get to the base as soon as possible. Get ready.”
“Ah, I see.”
The incense of the heavenly power made the subordinates run again.
Five hundred warriors who had recovered enough to run with a short break ran through the darkness.
Completely unaware that another shadow was chasing them.
And without even knowing what lurks where they are heading… … .
