[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 169

169 – Battle of Gyeonseong – Battle of Heuksan Bandits (5)

Argh!!

Screams echo from everywhere.

The gate that was supposed to firmly protect them was shattered in an instant, and the cavalry began running toward the breached gate.

The advantage of Mercury is that the enemy’s melee attacks do not reach allies.

And in order for the enemy to enter the castle, they must endure enormous damage.

But those advantages were lost in an instant.

“Holy sh*t!!”

The thieves quickly ran towards the street in front of the castle gate and set up camp.

The only thing he was holding was a sword, but he tried to fight back with things like a bamboo spear or a wooden shield, albeit crudely.

“Oh, don’t come! Argh!!”

However, it is useless against heavily armed cavalry.

No matter how many they were, a bandit with a sword could not defeat a cavalry with a spear.

“Huh!”

The heavily armored cavalry at the head of the cavalry swung its bow sharply.

As if to show what autumn leaves were like, he swung his spear with one arm and cut down the thief.

Kaang!

The arrow aimed at his face bounced off the steel shield he held in one hand.

Jo-in, a heavily armored cavalryman, ran in front of the thief who shot an arrow on his horse, lifted the shield on his arm, and struck him down.

Phew.

The thief’s head was crushed in an instant.

Jo-in ran, decapitating the thief with the blade attached to the end of his shield, then grabbed the spear with both hands and swung it wide.

“Instead of building the walls high, we should have made the gates strong!!”

Jo-in swung his spear and cut off the thief’s head in one go.

The horse he rode stepped on what was the castle gate and rode forward, and Jo-in swung his spear and stabbed the bandits to death one by one.

“hehehe, they said they destroyed the castle wall in five days, but it took less than three days.”

Jo-in stuck out his tongue as he looked at the huge object in front of him.

Four broken wheels.

Body shape like a bee.

And the tip of a wooden pillar that still maintains its shape even though its body is broken, and a bee’s stinger.

What is unique is that it is a thick ‘iron needle’ that can easily break down an old castle gate.

“This is Chungcha.”

Cao Ren was very satisfied with the castle gate being broken without much loss.

Just like the broken castle gate, the lower body of the Chungcha was completely destroyed, but with that alone, the Chungcha’s role was already over.

Just as a bee stings and destroys a castle gate, Cao Cao’s army broke through the gate of Gyeonseong with one blow.

The bee’s large, hard, bulky, and thick stinger did not provide any resistance and the glottis was torn apart from side to side.

Wow!!

From noble mtl dot com

And the only things that come in are horses running with their tails swinging left and right and men stabbing those who block their path with sharp spears.

“Wow, this is such an easy victory that I wonder if it’s even possible. hahahaha….”

Jo In put the spear on his shoulder and laughed.

“If Gyeonseong wasn’t a den of thieves, it would have been a massacre of civilians instead of an eradication of bandits. Ugh.”

Jo In shuddered and held on tightly to the pole of the spear.

“…Yes. They are all thieves. They all need to be killed. Ugh, the entire army! I order the entire army! Kill everyone you see on the road! Every single one of them!”

Jo In quickly stabbed his spear at the two soldiers who were blocking him.

Even though it was only two thrusts, the two thieves fell forward as they accurately pierced their necks, and Jo In smiled in satisfaction as he saw the cavalry entering the castle gate just like him.

“It’s nice not to have to command every single thing. Everything is taken care of behind the scenes. hehehe….”

The other soldiers, including Xu Huang and Yue Jin, had already dispersed to different places, and he was leading the cavalry and eradicating the thieves in the castle.

“Servant! You are over there-”

“The lady told me to go there! Should I go somewhere else?!”

“No! That’s correct! Go!”

“Oooooh!!”

Even before Jo In’s manager gave the order, he was already running to the place he had planned to send him to.

It was the same for Seohwang and Jeon.

“…The cavalry is running wild inside the castle, but they can run without bumping into each other.”

Jo In felt a shiver of excitement.

Although they did not run all at once on the main street, but dispersed, the cavalrymen did not clash with each other and only accurately eliminated the enemy.

“hehehehe. This will prevent Myojae from going out later. Now, let’s go in! We’ll quickly defeat them and return to Heodo!”

“””Ooooooo!!”””

Cao Cao’s army shouted and slashed and stabbed the bandits within Gyeonseong.

If there had been at least one civilian, Cao Cao’s army’s movements might have been slightly hindered… .

“This is the stronghold of thieves! Everyone here is a black bandit!”

Cao Cao’s soldiers had no reason to hesitate in their movements.

* * *

“hahahaha, hahahaha.”

Sugo threw everything away and ran through the forest.

The moment the enemies entered Gyeonseong, he secretly escaped separately and ran away.

What does it matter if you are the leader of the Black Bandits?

What matters is your life.

Even if 20,000 people all followed him and died, in the end, it was no problem as long as he survived.

“Ha, ha…! That’s right. All you have to do is survive…!”

The toil went through the forest.

He crawled to the front of the river and quickly washed the blood off his face with water.

“Damn, I never thought Jojo would be this crazy!”

Sugo washed away the grime from his face.

Although his face didn’t change much, he quickly began to disguise himself by tearing off his beard with a dagger.

“Don’t get caught. Huh, okay. I’ll change my last name too. From now on, I’m ‘Hugo’.”

After rinsing his face with water, or rather, Hugo, he got back on the horse.

He was a typical bandit, but now he is starting to look like a bandit with a story.

“Now run away-”

“Where are you running away to?”

Hugo was startled by the voice coming from afar.

“Teacher Kwak?!”

“Yeah. Me. What on earth is that?”

The civil servant man pointed at Hugo’s face with a nervous expression.

“It looks like he’s going to run away by himself.”

“Well, that’s not true! Yes, I was trying to ask him for help! You are not on his staff!”

Hugo shouted in desperation.

“Teacher Kwak Do!!”

“Oh my. Is there someone named Kwak Do here? Isn’t that right, General?”

“Just call him Munchu.”

A man with a grim expression appeared behind Kwak Do.

Hugo screamed in fear as he showed great intimidation just by riding a horse.

“Ugh, wow!! You bastards! You tricked me! You tried to use me from the beginning!!”

“Use it. If you succeeded, the land of Jinyang would have been yours, but if you failed, it would be a different story.”

Kwak Do turned his head.

At the same time, Wenchu rode his horse like a ghost.

“Thank you for your hard work! As the leader of the Black Bandits who succeeded Baek Seok-to and Jang Yeon, I also have the skills-”

Suddenly.

The spear blade flashed once.

With his mouth wide open, Sugo’s head was cut off and his head flew through the sky and rolled on the ground.

“That guy’s mouth is open even when he’s dead.”

Kwak Do clicked his tongue and pointed Su Go’s head to his subordinate behind him.

“Recover it. We will take it back and make it a public achievement for our military. By the way….”

“Why are you doing this, Mr. Kwak?”

“It really brings tears to my eyes. Aren’t you sad, General? They were all our people too.”

Kwak Do blinked his eyes and smiled.

There were actually tears in his eyes.

“As expected, Cao Cao. They are cruel and vicious people. hehehe, it would be easy to tell people. They are trying to make Hebei like Western Zhou.”

Kwak Do is smiling.

* * *

Great victory.

Cao Cao’s army won a great victory.

While my role was to breach the city gate, Sima Yi took command of the subsequent army and moved his ten thousand cavalry at will.

There were no incidents of clashes between Cao Cao’s troops during street battles inside the castle.

This seemed to have greatly impressed Jo In.

“Do you like cavalry?”

“I really like it.”

“how much?”

“I like him next to my husband.”

Sima Yi liked to handle cavalry.

Just as in the past when she led the cavalry led by the emperor when dealing with Lei Bo and Qin Lan, she rode with the cavalry herself.

“What do you think cavalry is?”

“It is the flower of the battlefield.”

“Yes! There is no class more beautiful on the battlefield than the cavalry. One who rides on horseback and wields a spear and a sword. How cool is that? Oh, since you are a woman, you have no idea about the beauty of a cavalry-”

“I also like riding horses. When I get on a horse and ride it to its limit, it really fills my heart.”

“Oh oh…!!”

Just as Sima Yi was sincere about the cavalry, Cao Ren also seemed to be sincere in many ways about leading the cavalry.

“Hmm, you. We haven’t won yet, but after we do, can I ask you a personal favor?”

“Are you asking us to create a cavalry corps for General Jahyo? Or should we request that the command of this Hopyogi army be transferred to Cao Ren instead of Cao Cao?”

“That’s fine as is, but let me lead the cavalry while you talk among the staff. OK?”

Sima Yi lightly nodded at Cao Ren’s suggestion.

After just one battle, Cao Ren and Sima Yi recognized each other’s abilities right away, and they also thought about the future situation after this Battle of Gyeonseong occurred.

Someday, when we have to go to war against Yuan Shao or other feudal lords.

“It looks like you will be in charge of the cavalry staff from now on, so shouldn’t I be able to take charge of the cavalry if I look good to you now?”

“The praise is excessive.”

“Excessive? Even Yue Jin and Xu Huang acknowledged it. If you weren’t on the staff, I would want to use you as the deputy commander of our cavalry. But your abilities are even greater than that, so you will be able to command the cavalry as well.”

Sima Yi will recommend Cao Ren as the cavalry chief rather than Xiahou Yan or any other captain, and Cao Ren will choose Sima Yi as the chief of staff to lead the cavalry.

“Look, teacher. Is it okay for the two of you to decide in advance like that?”

Seohwang, a man with a hood on his head, approached me and asked quietly.

He seems to be so interested in weapons that he personally drove a bee sting vehicle, and he became quite close to me through this battle.

“Cao Cao has a choice in terms of personnel, but the generals can strongly request that he be sent. Moreover, as a staff member, he can make suggestions to Cao Cao. If Sima Yi asks someone to be sent with him first, Cao Cao should think about it too. “I guess.”

“No matter what, will the Lord give permission?”

“If it is a mid-month offer, I will definitely accept it.”

In the first place, I will suggest who Jojo will choose.

Sima Yi would not make an offer that Cao Cao would reject.

Therefore, Cao Cao will gladly accept the proposal brought by Sima Yi, and this could actually lead to a situation where Sima Yi can choose his own commander-in-chief.

“Huh, my goodness. This is the first time in my life I’ve seen a woman smart enough to be a cavalry commander.”

“Most female staff members lead archers from the rear or give orders.”

Sunuk, Sunyu, and Kwak Ga.

Until now, most of the staff members within Cao Cao’s army would have used personal force, but most of the time they would have moved the soldiers from the rear.

But Sima Yi is different.

Since he has the ability to lead the cavalry directly, he has an excellent understanding of cavalry, so it is highly likely that he will be in charge of the cavalry in future wars fought by Cao Cao’s army.

“What on earth is your secret? How do you ride a horse so well?”

“Well, about that.”

Sima Yi raised his index finger to his lips, glanced at me, and then narrowed his eyes.

“I ride and train horses every day, so naturally I am a good horse rider.”
