The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 164

“First of all, please recruit soldiers who are above the level of dizziness!”

The center of the headquarters where the head of Cheonungbang is located.

Standing on the podium where the flag was fluttering, Jeoksaeng sweated like rain as he surveyed the battlefield and gave orders nonstop.

“We put this group back and put three groups in.”

“yes!”

“Use the ronin to block the enemy’s front and attack the enemy’s rear as a separate team.”

“yes!”

The messengers who were waiting for his command ran towards their assigned places without a chance to catch their breath.

After the collapse of the front line, a change in formation began with the order of Jeoksaeng.

Jeoksaeng sent all of his five sons and elders to the battlefield, excluding King Konghu of the Ark of Heaven, and divided the main force into six.

Due to the sudden change of formation according to his order, some damage suffered in the beginning was unavoidable.

At first, the head of Cheonungbang, who was embarrassed and puzzled, began to move little by little due to the fiery shouts of Duke Won, and as soon as the situation stabilized and he was able to systematically confront the attacks of the Iron Sword, he began to show his true abilities. He began to trust Jeoksaeng as a military man.

Thanks to the strategy Jeoksaeng devised on the spot, he missed the chance to launch a counterattack, but since the Iron Swordsman could no longer push into Cheonwoongbang’s main base, the reliability of it increased even more.

Jinmu and Dangse-ryeong Unam assisted in the defense of the main base of Cheonungbang, which was built around Wonho Won-ho, the fire lord, so the leader of the iron sword team was unable to break through despite countless beatings. attacked left and right alternately.

As soon as they received damage without following the order of Jeoksaeng, they alternated with the next group and came out to replenish the number of people.

Moreover, Cheon Woo-myeong, who was distracted because his four sons, excluding Won Won-ho, led the elite of Cheon Woong-bang and attacked the rear of the enemy, could not easily take the lead.

A battle where everyone risked their lives but did not expect that they would withstand the attack of the Iron Sword. However, due to the tactics of Jeok-saeng and the efforts of Cheon Woong-bang, who risked his life, it was not easy to come to an end.

“The Iron Swords are retreating!”

Upon hearing the news delivered by the messenger from the main camp, Duke Won’s face was filled with joy.

“Keep in formation! We must never let our guard down until we withdraw completely!”

“yes!”

At the cry of Jeoksaeng, the messenger ran with a happy face to deliver the order.

“All right. it’s okay!”

Duke Won knew that today’s battle had already ended.

Having lived as a soldier in Sapa, he never thought that the role of a single soldier would exert such a huge power in battle.

Although Cheonungbang has much more numbers, it could never be said to be equal in power.

Aren’t more than half of the soldiers belonging to the Iron Sword Team made up of Hyungi level?

It was all thanks to the enemy. If it weren’t for him, who overturned the absolute inferiority like the incarnation of Zhuge Liang, we wouldn’t have been able to survive the first day.

Even though he believed in and followed the transmission of Jinmu, the suspicion that had not gone away was gone.

“It’s all thanks to you. You suffered.”

“…”

Won Gong-hu did not let go of his tension for a moment, and smiled while holding the hand of the sweat-drenched Jeok-saeng.

However, the face of the red student did not look happy at all.

“I’m glad. It seems to have been blocked right now.”

“okay. I blocked it. It’s not Cheonwoongbang, it’s you who blocked the Iron Sword’s attack.”

Won Gong Hu laughed out loud and hugged Jeok Saeng tightly.

* * *

“Damn it!”

The face of Chun Woo-myeong, who had been bitten by the troops, was distorted like a yaksha.

couldn’t break through

In the evening, the battle, which was expected to be aimed at Duke Won’s throat, took longer than expected.

In my mind, I wanted to jump into the base and stir it up without mercy, but even that was not an easy situation.

He knew at least that no matter how good he was, he would not be able to deal with all of Cheonungbang.

Moreover, it is self-evident that Won Gong-hu will join the battle the moment he jumps in.

Chun Woo-myeong knew the inaction of Duke Won more than anyone else.

he is strong Chun Woo-myeong would win if it was simply based on his martial arts, but that was only when it was one-on-one. If he was confined to Cheonungbang’s headquarters while fighting Gonghu Won and his movement was restricted, it was obvious that the Iron Swords would be defeated.

Mo Won-ryeo suggested a retreat after seeing the iron sword team getting tired without achieving results.

Chun Woo-myeong gritted his teeth and bit his troops when he was told to fight again after replenishing his strength since he had come a long way.

“Sweet Lord. This is not a Cheon Woong Bang tactic. Doesn’t it seem as if the great military leader of the Jeongmu Maeng, Jegal Collaboration is here?”

“…”

“That’s right. As you said, the enemy’s tactics were like those of the military.”

As even Seoksan, the three major lords, agreed with Mo Won-ryeo’s words, Chun Woo-myeong’s eyes trembled non-stop.

The seed of doubt planted by Mo Won-ryeo.

The story that Cheon Woong-bang might have joined hands with Jeong Mu-maeng increasingly troubled his thoughts.

“How much is the damage?”

“In the first battle, half of the lead were killed. In the ensuing battle, 20 people were killed and 30 wounded.”

“Umm….”

It wasn’t that he didn’t have casualties in mind, but the damage was greater than he thought.

Cheonungbang also suffered damage, but Gansuk is their front yard. It would be a big deal if the Sapa forces in Gansuk, who had turned their backs on Cheonungbang, changed their minds and joined them.

“Sweet Lord. We must inform the main body and request reinforcements even now. If they really joined hands with the Jeongmu-maeng…”

“Wonryeo.”

Chun Woo-myeong stopped Mo Won-ryeo’s words of concern.

It’s not that his words don’t make sense.

“Tomorrow we will fight one more day. Then, if doubts do not go away, I send a telegram to nature.”

“Sweet Lord!”

“Want!”

“…”

“There is no change in my heart that believes in Gonghu.”

Mo Won-ryeo sighed at Chun Woo-myeong’s honest words.

I know his temper well.

Didn’t he cross the boundary of life and death for decades by the side of the Hyeokryeonmugang with him?

Also, although he is a member of Sapa, he falls in love with Chun Woo-myeong, who has loyal loyalty and honesty to his master, and is a soldier of the Iron Sword Corps under him.

Although they were taught by Hyeokryeon Mu-gang, they never doubted that their leader was Cheon Woo-myeong.

“Wonryeo Hoyu Shishan Jihwa Wipeout.”

Chun Woo-myeong looked at the names of the four great lords who led the Iron Sword, including Budanju Mo Won-ryeo.

“sorry.”

I know what you’re sorry for

It was a fact known to all of them that Sapaecheon Nature’s decision was wrong.

I also know that it is natural to accept Mo Won-ryeo’s concerns.

“No matter how damn it I think about it, I met the wrong one.”

Mo Won-ryeo stood up with a sigh and a smile.

“What are you all doing? The lord’s order was given. Build a camp, organize a guard team, and build a county. The Three Great Lords gather the wounded separately and treat them, and distinguish between those who will fight and those who will not.”

When Mo Won-ryeo issued an order on behalf of Chun Woo-myeong, the four great lords stood up with bright faces and moved to fulfill their responsibilities.

“Wonryeo…”

“It’s okay. I’m glad though. We couldn’t finish it today as planned, but since their damage is serious, if the government officials don’t intervene, we’ll be able to take Cheonungbang’s stronghold by tomorrow.”

“Um…”

Chun Woo-myeong nodded heavily at Mo Won-ryeo’s words.

* * *

At the same time, Cheonungbang’s position.

After forming an alert group in preparation for a possible surprise attack at night, the leaders gathered with happy faces.

A small drinking party prepared to celebrate a small victory.

Although it was not good to get drunk in wartime, he definitely wanted to express his gratitude to Jeoksaeng and Jinmu who made great contributions.

At the request of Jeoksaeng, the ronin of the Jeoksaengdae were also preparing a place in the headquarters.

“Fortunately, the. I never thought it would stop the Iron Blade.”

“Oh. That’s really great. Thinking of such a strategy?”

All the elders praised Jeoksaeng, and Duke Won looked at him with satisfaction.

“Now, everyone, be quiet.”

Won Won-ho stood up, stopped the excited elders from talking, and offered a drink to Jeok-saeng.

“Take it. I will not forget the merits of my enemy teacher. Thanks to you, Cheonungbang has been relieved of a great deal of trouble.”

Squeak.

The cup was filled, but Jeoksaeng’s face was not bright.

“By the way, what was the tactic you showed today?”

“It’s a plan from the grandson’s Guji (九地) side. Dividing the enemy…”

“Oh! You mean the Sun Tzu’s Law? I’ve heard that my military gate uses such a ploy. It’s really amazing that you even know the plans of the army.”

The elders each nodded in agreement to Won Won-ho’s praise, but Jeok-saeng felt awkward in an unfamiliar situation.

“Sir, take care of me tomorrow as well.”

When Won Won-ho tapped his shoulder and asked, Jeok-saeng opened his mouth with a surprised expression.

“yes? I only have one day…”

“Huh? what?”

Everyone focused their attention on Jeok-saeng, following Won-ho Won, who looked at Jeok-saeng as if he was puzzled by the words of Jeok-saeng, who muttered in a small voice that was barely audible.

“That’s…”

When he suddenly came into focus, Jeoksaeng shrunk his neck like a turtle and looked at Jinmu.

During the day, when he commanded the warriors of Cheonungbang, he was dignified like a musketeer on the battlefield.

Jinmu smiled and said to Jeoksaeng.

“are you okay. say.”

Even though Jinmu gave permission, Jeoksaeng muttered with a frightened look in his eyes just in case.

“We cannot continue to use the same strategy today.”

“What is it?”

“Tomorrow and sand will block it, but as time goes by, the damage will increase. In the worst case, tomorrow will double today’s damage, and then double again… Then it is clear that we will eventually lose.”

“…”

Is it because Jeoksaeng’s words were too small?

The leaders of Cheonwoongbang remained silent and focused on the voice of Jeoksaeng.

Again, it choked the enemy’s breath.

“Tsk! Those who say hangarak…”

Jinmu clicked his tongue at the withered appearance of the red student, got up and approached.

As I lightly raised my energy and injected it, Jeoksaeng let out his choked breath.

“Paa!”

The energy of Jinmu was a Seongi with a sense of freshness, so it had the effect of relaxing and relaxing the mind just by injecting it.

“So what do you think?”

Jeoksaeng still looks scared, but thanks to Jinmu’s help.

“To end the war…”

Jeoksaeng looked at him once more.

“Come on, tell me. Enemy teacher.”

“That is… surrender.”

“…”

A moment of silence.

“Nonsense!”

As Wonho Won yelled at him, Jinmu glared at him.

“Even if I had to die, I would never bow my head to them! Please think of another plan.”

Everyone looked at the red student with fire in their eyes as if they were of the same mind.

Tsk tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk until just a moment ago, I was complimented on how great it was.

When he rescued the drowning man, he seemed to be begging for help, even asking him to hand over his bundle.

Jinmu laughed and scolded Won Won-ho.

“You shut up and listen to the end.”

“what? How dare such a young man!”

Don’t be fooled.

He has yet to fully see Jinmu’s skills.

When Jinmu came to the main camp to introduce the enemy, it was an urgent situation, so there was no time to properly grasp what was going on, and after that, he had to stop the Iron Swords from the center of the main camp.

But no matter how great it was, it was the same. It was unacceptable for Jinmu, a young, blue-eyed firefighter, to bruise him with short words at a gathering of the leaders of Cheonwoongbang.

Won-ho Won opened his eyes as if he were about to eat Jinmu.

“stop!”

Won Gong Hu frowned and blocked it.

“father!”

“Won’t you stop! What insolence is this to those who helped us!”

“…”

Won Gonghu’s angry voice, Cheon Won Ho glared at Jinmu with burning eyes, then stepped back.

“Enemy teacher. Is there any other way than surrender?”

“Because that’s… an uncertain method.”

“What is it?”

“The ark is coming out.”

“I?”

“yes.”

At Jeok-saeng’s words, everyone is puzzled again.

Everyone waited for his words to come out, but who dared to speak easily under these circumstances?

“are you okay. say.”

As Jinmoo cheered him up, Jeoksaeng opened his mouth in a small voice like an ant.

“The Ark is directly fighting Cheon Woo-myeong, the lord of the iron sword.”

A chilly stillness flows for a moment.

The meaning of Jeoksaeng is to fight for victory or defeat.

It was something that Duke Won had already made up his mind about at first, and Won Won-ho and his brothers opposed it, risking their lives.

“Inom! I tried to treat you because you have small talent! How dare you do such a foolish thing to anyone!”

Cheon Won-ho screamed, exhaling a cold chill and even killing himself.

Not only that, but even the elders glared at the enemy with eyes that would tear them apart.

“Tsk!”

As Jinmu clicked his tongue and blocked Jeoksaeng in front of the intimidating feeling that came from all sides, a refreshing energy wrapped around him as if protecting him.

“It’s like hats.”

The seongi that was spread along with the tone of scolding, not only pushed away the energy of the leaders of Cheonwoongbang, but also began to press them again.

“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”

A suppressed moan erupted from here and there, and Won Won-ho, who was closest to him, couldn’t stand it and fell to his knees.

“Even if you are a sapper, you should refrain from throwing a knife at someone who has been helped!”

Jinmu’s energy was refreshing, but his voice cut through their hearts like a sharp dagger.

“Who do you blame for not being able to come up with a proper plan because you guys are weak!”

“Ugh…”

The energy of Jinmu is getting stronger and pushing everyone down as if to crush them.

“stop!”

It was Won Gong Hu who cut off the tense tension.

The energy that spread along with his work gently pushed away Jinmu’s energy.

“Stop cheering me up.”

“joy!”

When Gonghu Won politely asked for it, Jinmu turned his head away as if he didn’t even want to look at him.

Gonghu Wen sighed and told everyone.

“Everybody get out. Enemy teacher, please go out and rest. I have a story to share with this person of mine.”

“…yes.”

Jeok-saeng went out with a frightened expression, and Won-ho Won and the elders glared at Jin-mu, only to go out after receiving Gong-Won’s glare.

And after a while there was silence.

“Now tell me. Who are you?”
