Episode 772
Battle of Pandemonium and Battle of Pandemonium (10)
“Have you gathered?!”
“That’s right!”
“Launch an all-out offensive! “Kill the emperor at all costs!”
One thousand troops of the Shinhwa Church, one hundred troops of the Saeum Church, and fifty troops of the Gwanghyeol Church, who were scattered sporadically in the western, eastern, and southern vicinity of the outer castle, moved toward the inner city.
Kwakwakwak!
They moved efficiently while thoroughly conserving their strength.
Instead of heading to the palace gate, they destroyed the outer castle with artillery and sent in their experts.
Even though you can move it with wheels, the weight of the artillery is extremely heavy.
However, the followers of the three religions were all masters of internal skills. They moved their artillery at high speed and advanced, destroying everything that stood in their way.
Quack! Fuuuuuuu!
Stone walls scattering in all directions.
In an instant, the outer walls of the imperial palace became a mess. The imperial palace, which boasts hundreds of years of history, has never been devastated to this extent.
“Aim accurately! “There aren’t many fire bombs!”
Paralalalak!
Behind the three forces, another army also moved.
It was the alumni and the gold medal committee. Most of the alumni were with the three schools, and about half of the Geumwiwi members were with them.
When Chang Wi, who knew the circumstances and geography of the imperial palace well, was added to the forces of the three religions, the area around the outer castle instantly became a hell of fire.
Puff poop! Qarring!
Officials, servants and maids who were shaking with anxiety died after being hit by fire bombs or crushed by stone walls.
The three religions ignored those they could see. It didn’t matter whether he died from a fire or from being crushed by a collapsed building. However, there was no need to catch and kill them one by one.
Just moving forward.
Their primary goal was to destroy the emperor’s life and royal palace. If I had time, I would have eliminated everyone living in the imperial palace, but the situation was not good.
Kwakwakwak! Pow!
There was literally no separate hell.
In addition, there was more than one type of bullet fired from a gun. There were regular steel balls, and there were also thermal bombs that contained gunpowder and exploded when they hit the target.
It can be said to be a lethal weapon obtained through remarkable advancements in gunpowder technology.
And it was entirely thanks to the efforts of the Xinhuaists that artillery was able to develop to this level. The imperial palace’s financial power was poured into continuously improving Hwatan.
“Don’t use the heat bomb yet! “Use only regular fire bombs!”
Crumbling!
I shot and shot and collapsed and collapsed again.
The prisoners moving the artillery strictly followed orders. Even if regular fire bombs ran out, thermal bombs were not used.
bang! bang!
The cultists broke down the palace walls and began to advance.
Although the amount of fire bombs provided was quite large, it was not enough to advance by destroying the walls one by one. They took advantage of this opportunity to use artillery, which could be the power of the imperial palace, to an excessive extent.
“Sir!”
“What?!”
“The gun barrel received too much heat! “If this continues and the gun barrel deforms…!”
“That’s why you’re not using heat bombs!”
“Can you hold on?”
“I can endure it enough!”
As the power of gunpowder weapons becomes stronger, the durability of the gun barrel to withstand the heat and power is also needed.
There’s no way it wouldn’t have been improved. If you fire indiscriminately without limit, even that will be useless, but at least it will be enough until it enters the defense zone.
“Those are crazy.”
A chill appeared on Peng Wujiang’s face as he climbed the inner watchtower and looked at the advancing enemies.
The number of artillery pieces equipped in the imperial palace amounted to hundreds. Seventy percent of them were in their hands.
There were artillery pieces on this side as well, but there were only fifteen of them. That too was barely saved. This is because such dangerous items should not be placed around the royal palace in the first place.
‘There are more fire guns here. Moreover, since it is a water-based battle, if we do well, we may be able to defeat Chu Jang…’
Peng Wu-gang felt anxious.
Fire bombs were flying and the outer castle gates and buildings were collapsing one by one. I had no idea what was going on in the battles taking place in the far north and south.
hook!
Peng Mu-gang, who returned to the royal palace in an instant, reported the situation of the enemies.
In Hwang Bo-jeok’s eyes, it was a terrible life.
“I knew they were ruthless people, but they really are people I can’t deal with.”
Peng Wugang said.
“This is not just vandalism. “They are destroying the entire outer castle and putting psychological pressure on this side at the same time.”
What Peng Wugang said was right.
The explosion of artillery fire that could be heard from all over the outer castle was getting closer as time passed.
A clear tension appeared on the faces of the Golden Army soldiers stationed up to the third palace gate. It was too pale to be simply because a battle was just around the corner.
Roaring and destruction.
As time passes, it becomes a psychological threat to troops engaged in defensive warfare. It will lead to a decline in morale, and the decline in morale will be more fatal than any attack and will destroy this side’s power.
“A move is needed. “A decisive move that will break their momentum.”
“Can we do it?”
A look of determination appeared on Peng Wugang’s face.
“We should do it ourselves.”
At that time, Zhuge Yan appeared.
“The formation is complete. Even if an artillery’s heat bomb falls exactly here, it will be able to block about a dozen bullets.”
“Is that so?”
I don’t know what kind of system was installed and how that is possible.
But Peng Wu-gang did not ask. Now was the time to just trust Zhuge Zhen and prepare for the next task.
“How far have the enemies come?”
“All the way to the outer castle gate.”
“I’m sure my resistance will break through soon.”
“I guess so.”
“If the resistance is breached, it won’t take more than two miles to get here. No, it might take longer if we drag the artillery all the way.”
Zhuge Yan said to Hwang Bo-jeok.
“Please put our artillery on top of the castle wall.”
The inner walls of the imperial palace were so fortified that there were several huge watchtowers.
“As soon as the enemy comes within range, shoot the heat bomb.”
“I guess so.”
“And before that.”
Zhuge Yan looked at Peng Wugang.
Peng Mu-gang grinned.
“I’ll give it a whirl.”
“You have to be as careful as possible. They are pushing in recklessly. Even if our allies suffer, we will wipe them out together.”
“do not worry. “Even if it’s impossible to do all of them, we’ll be able to blow up a few artillery pieces.”
Paaaaaa!
As soon as he finished speaking, Pengmu Gang flew into the sky.
In his hand was a large sword found in the imperial palace’s weapons warehouse. Although it was not the love weapon that I always carried, it was enough to bring out 100% of my strength.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
Peng Wu-gang, who had reached the border between the inner and outer walls in an instant using the divine method of the Eogishinpung, placed himself next to the city gate.
bang! Quack!
The sound of gunfire was no longer heard.
‘It looks like we’ve run out of iron balls.’
In addition, time to cool down will be needed to prevent the gun barrel from deforming.
‘If they enter the inner castle, they will start shooting heat bombs.’
Kugoogung!
Peng Wugang felt the vibration of the earth.
‘Thirty sheets.’
Qarring! Puff poop!
‘Twenty sheets.’
Patter-patter! Grumble!
‘…Ten sheets.’
and.
hook!
Feeling the mighty energy of Yeoyanggong, Pengmugang exploded the power of Geongonmiheosingong all at once.
Quang!
Peng Mu-gang broke down the palace gate and ran out, swinging the Honwon Byeokryeokdo (混元霹靂刀) at once.
Qarring!
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaah!”
The Honwon Byeokryeokdo boasted the most linear and fierce destructive power among the Penga methods.
In an instant, he swung a three-second attack, and the seven masters caught up in the attack were oxidized.
“It’s the enemy!”
Puff poop!
Shinhwa believers unleashing tension as if they had been waiting.
But Peng Mu-gang had already disappeared from the spot. His movements were so fast that it would be hard to imagine that he was holding a huge sword.
Pow! Whoa whoa!
The bodies of the masters were torn apart by the bloody sword wind, and each attack and martial arts attack blew off the heads of the enemies.
In an instant, Peng Mu-gang saw the artillery that destroyed the entire area.
Flash!
A mysterious new method is demonstrated once again.
Pengmugang charged at incredible speed and swung Geodo with the force of two extremes.
Haha!!
The gun barrel broke into pieces with an incredibly resonant sound.
The faces of the Shinhwa believers froze.
This artillery was not artillery distributed to major government departments, but artillery produced by the imperial palace. This means that it is an item that has tremendous strength and heat resistance thanks to advanced smelting technology.
Such a piece of art was cut in two by one task. The other person did not appear to be human.
‘As expected, it’s solid.’
A slight shock remained on my hand. This meant that even with the internal strength of Geongonmiheosingong, the semi-elasticity could not be completely eliminated.
‘But it’s no problem.’
Flash! Puff puff!
A huge bloody wind blew where the Paengmu River passed sideways.
No expert was able to properly attack Peng Mu-gang. His movements were too fast for that.
Sigh!
Of course, not everyone missed him.
This bas-relief pillar of the Hwaunbi Pavilion, Yao Gong, who grazed the dagger against Peng Wugang’s shoulder, appeared.
“this guy!”
A huge flame swirled around Yagong’s twin swords.
At that time, Peng Wugang’s feet touched the ground.
Quang!
Peng Mu-gang, who had increased his strength with a powerful advance, opened his mouth on the spot.
“conflict!!”
Blah blah blah!
It’s something beyond imagination.
It was the lion’s rear radiating from the leader of the Tiger of the Panjia Central Plains.
About twenty of the masters around him covered their ears and fell down on the spot. Blood was flowing freely from their fallen ears.
Even Duke Yao flinched. The fire gathered in both his hands was distracted for an instant.
Paaaaaaaa!
Peng Mu-gang, who immediately closed the distance, unleashed a ferocious attack.
bang!
It was incredible strength.
The diagonal strike sent Yogong’s body into the air. The power of the thermal kidney prevented the body from being cut, but the impact caused internal injuries. The attack was as powerful as artillery fire.
hook!
Duke Yao’s eyes wavered.
Peng Mu-gang, who had blown himself away, was already running towards a place where a large number of artillery pieces were gathered.
“be careful! “He’s aiming for the artillery!”
“late.”
In an instant, Peng Wugang’s beaky eyes changed into tiger eyes.
Haha!
It seemed like the sound of a tiger was coming from somewhere.
Blah blah blah!!
Geodo, which struck in a straight line, broke the wheel of the gun and made a hole in the gun barrel.
As many as eight artillery pieces were lying on the ground. A fierce wind blew and cut to pieces about twenty Shinhwa believers standing around him.
“Whoop!”
Peng Mu-gang, who had unleashed enormous power for an instant, caught his breath on the spot.
Tsutsutsutsu.
The energy radiating from his entire body was not the fierce spirit of Honwon Byeokryukdo.
A majestic yet ferocious spirit. The intimidating feeling of a fearsome beast was spreading, as if it was about to bite off its prey’s neck in one fell swoop.
Peng Mu-gang raised his sword.
Wooooow!
The name that resonates brilliantly resembles the roar of a tiger.
“Aaaah!”
bang!
The sword strike struck again with a sudden forward motion, and five large rays of sword spewed out.
The five stems of pottery ran like giant tigers, clawing at the ground, sweeping away the Hwapo and the Shinhwa believers.
Crumbling!
Flesh and blood flew through the air. A piece of artillery was broken in half and rolled on the ground.
Duke Yao’s face turned pale.
Peng Mu-gang, who had been giving off a strong and masculine aura until now, became a huge tiger at this moment.
And Duke Yao was able to recall the most famous martial arts boasted by the Hebei Peng family.
“Five Tiger Short Gate Sword…?!”
Woe!
Peng Wugang looked back at Yao Gong. The sensitive Qi did not miss Yao-gong’s murmurs.
Yogong swallowed his saliva without realizing it. The face Peng Wugang looked at himself was not that of a human being.
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
Peng Wugang’s body, which was spinning and swinging the sword, was pushed three steps to the side.
“You damn b*stard!”
Gi Cheon-hyeong, the person who launched a surprise attack on Peng Mu-gang, unleashed his brutal killing power.
“What are they doing! Continue the offensive! “I will take charge of this Gomtaeng!”
At that moment, Peng Mu-gang grinned.
“You said someone would fight with you?”
hook!
Peng Mu-gang’s movement back the way he came was faster than before.
And Ki Cheon-hyeong’s movements following behind him were not at all inferior to Peng Mu-gang’s.
Yogong shouted.
“Go forward again! “Leave the broken artillery alone!”
It was then.
In the distance, a huge gray-black cloud approached from the north in the direction of the royal palace.
Yagong’s eyes were shaken. Even at a glance, it was an unusual cloud.
“…What is that again?!”
