Eat and be eaten (3)
“Elder! “We’re in big trouble!”
“What’s going on?”
The scouts who came after hearing the stories of informants spread throughout Gansu informed the first inspector of the entire incident.
“what?!”
The first examiner was astonished.
He believed what the party said, but wanted more solid information. He waited for informants from the north, but the enemy began to come up from the rear firing line.
“Even Samseon would have been attacked by now! “Seeing as they attacked before they even gathered their troops and headed to the southern part of Gansu, they must have been planning to push up from the rear rather than retreat to Shaanxi!”
“Oh, this is ridiculous!”
I thought I would get out. I thought they were pretty good for a group of fanatics from the outskirts.
However, I could not have imagined that they would move to the rear and sweep up from the firing line, which was not prepared for battle.
The first examiner shouted.
“Everyone, prepare to march! The enemy is in the rear! “I will go as quickly as possible and work with Ethan to crush the enemy!”
The swordsmen of the communal faction and the elites of each faction hurriedly moved.
The first examiner took the lead and ran. Even as he ran, he regretted his choice.
‘Damn it! ‘I should have moved as soon as I heard the message from Tang Gaju!’
Even if we had moved quickly, we would not have been able to protect our firing line because the enemy was quick to surprise us. Looking at the way things are going, there is a high possibility that the Samseon could not have been kept either.
However, just the presence of enemies can be a huge threat. If he had moved quickly and joined Lee Seon, he would have been able to pressure the enemy with a solid formation.
‘You’ve been completely defeated!’
Although the enemy’s movements were unexpected, it was also his fault for being overly cautious.
It was good to be cautious as a captain, but I couldn’t read the situation properly. In fact, he didn’t know how great the power of Mugeuksu was, and he didn’t even fully feel the weight of those words.
Regardless of whether you were cautious or bold, the result came out unevenly, so the fault lies with you.
“Hurry and run! Let’s go and show them the power of Gansu Wulin!”
Urgency and anger.
There was not the slightest trace of fear in the appearance of the first swordsman running at the front and urging his allies.
The morale of the 1,000 troops rose little by little. It is said that our troops were attacked by the enemy, but the troops gathered on the front line were the elite of the elite. Since they were on their way to rescue allies who had been ambushed rather than engaging in an all-out war with the enemy, their mindset was also different.
That was when the 1,000 troops led by Cho Geom-ja reached the place where Lee Seon was originally encamped.
Whoa!
The terrifying smell of death and blood spread everywhere.
The first examiner opened his eyes.
‘Unbelievable!’
Far away, the demons and Lee Seon’s troops are fighting.
However, the number of troops on this line was too small. At first glance, it seemed like there were less than five hundred left.
On the other hand, the size of the enemy was more than 2,000, closer to 2,340, if you estimate it less. In particular, the martial arts skills of the large woman wielding a sword at the front were so fearsome that even a member of her old school could not easily handle them.
‘You’re a non-geuksu!’
The first examiner gritted his teeth.
The difference in troops was large, but the enemy’s morale was also enormous as Mugeuksu was at the forefront and was running wild.
The first examiner shouted.
“Kill the enemy!”
“Wow!”
The front-line troops rushed forward with great momentum.
Sukgeomja, the leader of this line and an elder of the communal faction, shouted.
“Reinforcements! Everyone, cheer up… … !”
Pow!
The red-hot pottery cut the sword and body of the swordsman in half.
A sword swung from a distance of three feet cut the Chojeoljeong master’s body in two. As expected, he was a martial arts expert, a martial artist far beyond imagination.
Jimafu’s eyes sparkled.
‘Information leaked?’
She recalled the battle of Samseon.
When I thought about it, it seemed like there were a few idiots who were wandering around. I killed them first because they seemed to be trying to escape in a hurry, but it looks like they were spies.
‘If they knew we were coming here, it means someone ran into Yabaekdo’s troops. It’s hard to tell the direction we’re moving just by looking.’
Jimafu’s face distorted.
‘Could it be that that damn brat ruined our entire operation?’
Although he was a crazy guy, he was someone whose venom was at least acceptable. No matter how the enemy came out, he wasn’t stupid enough to tell them their tactics.
‘You’re just guessing? Still, at this speed, it’s really fast. I heard that Moorim has a lot of potential, so they really put smart guys into it?’
Jimafu stood there and took a deep breath.
The smell of blood, dirty life, and fear.
The situation was so chaotic that it was difficult to read the unrest floating around the area. Moreover, even for her, the enormous distance she could move and her engagement with the enemy caused her to consume more than half of her stamina.
She quickly recovered her demonic energy and spread her five senses and energy in all directions.
For a moment her eyes sparkled.
‘It’s coming.’
A vague feeling of anxiety and intimidation.
It would be impossible to cause this level of concern unless you are an expert who has reached the Holy Demon level or a unit with a weapon that can pose a fatal threat to this side.
But now I know.
‘Holy Horse Sutra.’
An expert of the same level as himself was running. The distance wasn’t far. She will appear on this battlefield without taking a half angle, or even a half angle.
Jimahu shouted.
“Another enemy will come! Wipe them out as quickly as possible!”
“Wow!”
Demons rushing forward while shouting.
Although there were more than two thousand troops, she knew that her men were not in good condition.
We came down from the northwest of Gansu to the south without stopping. After taking her minimal rest, she attacked from her firing line and destroyed it.
As time passed, morale increased, but physical problems were serious. Among the 2,300 troops, less than half of them had full internal strength and stamina.
‘From now on, it’s a quick decision.’
At that moment, the front-line troops clashed with the Earth Demon Spirit, led by Jimafu.
Quaaaang!
It was a clash that was both exciting and ignorant.
One side rushed in with soaring morale and madness, and the other side ran for dear life out of worry and urgency, and at the point of collision, dozens of enemies and allies flew into the sky, coughing up blood.
Chiri ririn! Pow! Pow!
“Kill! “Kill it!”
“Break through the center!”
“You bastards!”
“Tear it off from the ankles!”
They shouted at each other and swung their swords. A common swordsman who plunges his sword into the enemy’s chest, and a demon of the spirit of Jima who steps on a dead ally, rushes in, and rips open the swordsman’s stomach.
There were martial arts practitioners from Gansuk Sinsamun (神沙門) who shattered the heads of demons while screaming, and there were demons who split the collar bones of martial arts practitioners.
It was a real all-out war, with each side beating each other to death. The voices that echoed mercilessly seemed to reach the sky.
The sound of swords clashing, the sound of internal energy waves exploding, the sound of a person’s body breaking and flying away, the sound of bones being crushed and flesh being crushed, etc., an immeasurably terrible song erupts from all directions.
In a melee like this, powerful martial arts or herbivorous skills were of no use. There is nothing you can do except attack faster and stronger with extremely simple movements.
Especially in battles where so many troops clashed, it was common for people to lose their senses and swing their weapons wildly.
Surprisingly, the front-line troops did not do this. Although they attacked with mad yelling, each group had a team leader who was able to handle things such as hit-and-run and forming a square.
Burbubbubbuk! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Among the reasons why the front line was elite was the power of the martial arts gate.
They learned a variety of martial arts, but were especially confident in archery because they adopted some of the northern horse people.
In this war, the number of archers dispatched by Mujeongmun exceeded two hundred. The two hundred archers fired arrows from the rear, and in an instant, the central part of the Jimasinryeong unit began to collapse.
During a melee, it is impossible to know what is happening in the enemy’s formation. The warriors fighting the enemy at the forefront simply swung their swords frantically.
However, those commanding their troops from afar could see that this moment had become a decisive moment.
“Everyone join the left and right forces!”
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEICK!!
As soon as the sound of a whistle mixed with air was heard, the front-line troops split left and right and lined up in a square shape.
In an instant, the center was empty, and the demons of Jima God, who dug into it without hesitation, were immediately taken aback. This was because the enemy retreated too quickly to the left and right.
I tried to quickly retreat again, but retreat itself was impossible because of the allies pushing in from behind.
Jimahu shouted.
“Stop, Mr. Lee!” “Run away at full speed!”
In that state, retreat is impossible. It would have been much better to make some sacrifices and run out and return to the enemy’s rear.
The first examiner shouted.
“Squash it!”
Blah blah blah! Fuwaaaaak!
Due to the front-line troops pressuring from the left and right, a hundred demons were instantly banished and left this world.
That wasn’t all. The square formation quickly turned into a horizontal formation, trapping more demons.
One hundred, and then one hundred more.
In that short period of time, three hundred demons died.
This was the power of formation. Even martial artists who have learned martial arts will not be able to display even 30% of their abilities if they are pressured in a large formation.
Jimafu’s sword moved like a thunderbolt.
Hahaha!
“Oops!”
The first examiner vomited blood and flew away.
From such a great distance, it was firing a sword into the air, and it contained truly tremendous power. It was clear that it was a deliberate attack.
If the distance had been even a little shorter, his upper body would have been blown away along with the sword. The first swordsman was also caught up in the heated atmosphere of the battlefield and missed the movements of his enemy, Jimahu.
Anger welled up in the eyes of the first examiner.
The opponents were Mugeuksu and Nabal, and I lost my youngest disciple to these guys. In addition, we lost our allies in a surprise attack from the rear.
The anger is enough to melt even the sandstorm of Gansu. That was the feeling not only of the first examiners, but also of the front-line troops and all of the surviving second-line troops.
“For the left and right armies, break through the enemy’s left and right sides in a single-cornered circle!”
Jimahu shouted.
“Jima Spirit, spread out a circular formation! Throw away their assault line!”
Quaaaang!
Gansu troops attacking, and Majin troops defending and repelling.
In a short period of time, many of the Demon Lords were defeated, but the remaining troops still amounted to 1,800. In particular, due to the presence of Jimafu at the forefront, swinging his sword like crazy, the crushing charge of the left and right armies did not proceed properly.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
The ruthless swordsmanship of the Chammadao defeated the front-line troops’ vanguard.
Blood and screams filling the sky.
The moment when Jimafu’s eyes sparkle with murder after tasting blood.
Flash!
Another troop has arrived to bring a cold, deadly touch to the madness of the battlefield.
“Green wind and green water bite the enemy’s rear!”
Jimafu was caught in the sight of the party official who appeared with two units.
Jimahu grinned.
“You’re here!”
The official growled.
“That damn bitch!”
Faaagh!
Hundreds of memorized words appeared behind the party hall that rushed like a thunderbolt.
