Episode 1086 Battle of Preludes (6)
“Free adult”
Namgung Seung opened his eyes.
“We have entered Shaanxi. “I will continue to lead the way with Jongnam.”
“Did you tell it to the minor lord?”
“That’s right.”
“I understand.”
The Hwaryongdanju retreated and led the troops again.
The forces of the Murim Alliance advancing toward Shaanxi reached Icheon. His troops heading to the imperial palace were 3,000, a total of 5,000 troops.
Although it was 1,000 short, none of the Murim League troops heading to Shaanxi had any complaints.
The imperial palace was the center of the empire. Naturally, more troops had to be dispatched.
Furthermore, on this side of Icheon, Namgung Seung, Geomje, an expert in the world of Buddha, was with him.
Since Mo Yong-woo, the next leader of the Murim Alliance, and Geomje have joined, morale is bound to rise naturally. There were many high-ranking officials in the imperial palace, so there was no need to send the highest-ranking officials there.
I was nervous, but it was a pleasant tension. This is why their advance was fast and powerful.
How far did it go like that?
Mo Yong-woo, who was leading the horse, suddenly approached Namgung-seung, who was at the rear.
“Free adult.”
“What’s going on, Little Lord?”
“We have received information that troops from Hwasan and Jongnam have moved north and are encamped below Mt. Sohwa. “I think we should go to Sohwasan Mountain instead of Jongnam.”
Namgung Seung smiled.
“I am nothing more than a useful sword, and the leader of this army is the Little Lord. “It’s okay if you don’t tell me everything.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“Free adult strength is the most important thing in our military. “I’m telling you this because I feel like you need to know what’s going on at any moment.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
Although it can be said that he was treated as mere power, Namgung Seung liked that aspect of Mo Yong-woo.
He is only good at using martial arts and is nothing more than an obsolete object. The next generation of Moorim belongs to young people, and there was nothing good about him stepping forward.
Rather, he was displeased with young people bowing their heads excessively in front of him, but Mo Yong-woo did not do that.
Not because he is a minor lord, but because he knows his position well. In fact, although Mo Yong-wu was polite, he did not bow his head more than necessary.
‘Feel so good. The leader saw people well.’
Namgung Seung’s face, who was happily watching Mo Yong-woo riding his horse back to his seat, gradually became blurred.
‘I wish my kids were like that too.’
Regrets should be left as regrets. There is no point in regretting something that has already passed.
But he couldn’t shake that thought.
Having been obsessed with the sword all his life and neglecting to take care of his blood, he treated his sons and grandchildren in his own way.
However, the son was so damaged that nothing could be done about it, and the grandchildren were also following in their father’s footsteps.
If it got to that point, I should have walked out resolutely. However, Namgung Seung could not shake the hierarchy of her family.
In the end, the son died, and the second grandson also went crazy and accumulated terrible evil.
It was fortunate that the eldest son came to his senses, but Namgung Seung could not shake the thought that the eldest son was just lucky. If the timing of his birth had not been different from that of his second son, his eldest grandson might have followed in the same footsteps.
‘I am truly grateful for the actions of the Murim Alliance.’
Even if it was Namgung-hyeon, what Namgung-hyeon did was truly a serious sin that could not be forgiven.
Even the best swordsman in the central region deserves to be honored. No, since it is an exhibition, it is not strange for the Namgung family to be in a state of disrepair.
Ambassador Gong Gong, Zhuge Lien, and several Dukes tried to end it with Nam Gung-hyeon’s personal sins, but the angry public sentiment did not allow it.
In order to calm public sentiment, strong measures against the Namgung family were necessary. In the end, after the end of this war, the Namgung family promised to hold the royal palace for fifty years.
Fifty years of celebration. In other words, only after the eldest grandson, Namgungpyo, is well into his 80s can the Namgung family become involved in martial arts affairs.
However, if the warriors on the Namgung side made outstanding achievements in this war, it was taken into consideration and the timing of the reward could be brought forward.
This was the reason why Namgung Seung went out for the first time. She had her own wishes, but also had the recommendation of a public ambassador. His intention was to advance to the first battle and accomplish the important task of breaking the enemy’s spirit, thereby greatly expediting the timing of the visitation.
‘I owe the lord a great debt.’
When he returned to the world, it was only then that he realized that the public’s opinion of the Namgung family was bad.
I can’t leave it like this any longer. If I survive this war, I will teach my eldest son until the end of his life so that he never follows the path of his ancestors.
Namgung Seung promises and promises again.
Although it was not that much, each and every one of the Icheon troops heading to Sohwasan Mountain was armed with a strong spirit to annihilate the enemy. The mental power that becomes stronger over time will not be easily broken no matter what force you fight.
Another three days passed like that.
It was when the troops who had come up to the vicinity of Changan, the capital of Shaanxi, stopped for a final rest.
“… … ?!”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes wavered as he received the letter while eating.
Namgung Seung, who was eating together, looked at him with puzzled eyes.
“Why are you doing this, Little Lord?”
“The situation is not good.”
“You mean Shaanxi?”
“no. “It’s Gansuk.”
Namgung Seung’s eyes sparkled.
“Quarantine? “Didn’t the information we received yesterday say that the head of the party led the unit?”
“Yes, but… … “I think I was caught up in the enemy’s tactics.”
“how?”
Mo Yong-woo said as he handed the letter to Namgung-seung.
“It is said that 3,000 of the 5,000 troops detoured to the southwest and dug in to the bottom of Gansu.”
“… … !”
“The terrain is too bad to enter Sacheon. “The probability of them coming to Shaanxi is probably extremely high.”

“What if we go south without fighting in Shaanxi?”
“It’s Hubei as it is. “If you cross Shaanxi and enter the east, you can reach straight in front of the Henam Murim League.”
This is truly a big deal.
Gansu’s fighting power is by no means weak. Although the number of clans was small, the local temperament itself was strong, and Gansuk was a place where the weak, like the black martial arts warriors, were completely eliminated.
Breaking through those troops? What’s more, there was even a party hall that reached the point of no end?
“Is there any information about the party’s troops?”
“We haven’t gotten there yet, but we probably haven’t been hit. “If the party had been hit, we would have been contacted first.”
“What Lord Xiao said is correct.”
Namgung Seung’s face became serious.
“What are we going to do? If they move south, we have to block the southwestern part of Shaanxi. “If either Hubei or Hanam is breached, a catastrophe will occur.”
Regardless of the strength of the enemy soldiers, there are countless civilians there.
Moreover, the speed of their advance was unusual. Even though the supply of martial people is less than that of regular soldiers, isn’t this too fast?
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
“I’ll have to think about it for a moment.”
“As you know, war is a race against time. “It’s a time when quick decisions are needed.”
“Do not worry.”
Mo Yong-woo took out a large map. It was a new mid-field mission created by the Murim League every year.
He looked at Gansu, Shaanxi, and Liaoning Province in turn.
‘Five thousand, ten thousand, and five thousand.’
A total of 20,000 troops.
It is evaluated that each of the three schools has the ability to compete with the midfielder. In that case, the combat force of each of the three religions should be considered at least 100,000.
Considering that the total number is roughly 400,000, 20,000 troops may not be a big deal.
but.
‘It’s been strange since a long time ago. If the troops of the Xinhua religion that entered Liaoning moved without agreement, the dispatch of troops from other religions only means the presence of an excellent military strategist, and has no other meaning.’
Of course, that alone is great.
But what did the Shinhwa religion believe and move like that? Believing in the response of other cults and deploying 5,000 troops, it meant that they trusted the power of the cults.
In other words, the troops were sent without any exchange of opinions with the pagan religion they trusted.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes, who were deep in thought, sparkled.
‘There is no way the Shinhwa Church would have dispatched 5,000 troops without any countermeasures. If Paganism does not respond properly, they will have to attack from the northeastern part of the central plains with only 5,000 troops.’
Five thousand.
The number was not insignificant, but considering the entire midfield, it was difficult to say that it was a large number.
‘The fact that they took sudden action means that the Shinhwa Church was confident to some extent. It may be impossible to conquer the midfield alone, but I wouldn’t dare show courage like this unless I’m confident that I can deliver a fairly strong blow.’
Mo Yongwu’s eyes scanned over Hebei.
“… … shock troops.”
“What do you mean?”
Mo Yong-woo did not answer Namgung Seung’s question. Because he was extremely focused.
Namgung Seung also looked into Mo Yong-woo’s eyes and kept his mouth shut. Now I know that nothing good will come of touching it.
‘The Xinhua Church marched 5,000 troops to the front of Liaoning without anyone knowing. Even though I let my guard down, this is really amazing. This means that it is not just about being secretive, but the speed of the advance itself is incredibly fast.’
Mo Yong-wu’s index finger pointed above Hebei.
‘If you raise a large army from the imperial palace and try to wipe out the five thousand troops, they will definitely come down from above.’
Shinhwaism has long touched the imperial palace.
It’s the same this time too. They plan to occupy the imperial palace and then enter a full-scale war.
‘Then what about other pagan religions?’
Currently, 10,000 horsemen are coming down from northern Shaanxi.
It was definitely slower than the Gwanghyeol troops moving south from Gansu. This may be unavoidable due to horse management.
‘Gwanghyeol is from Gansu, Saeum is from Shaanxi, Xinhua is from Jilin…’ … .’
At that moment, Mo Yong-wu’s eyes quickly scanned the three castles.
‘No, that’s not it.’
Just as the Shinhwa cult is thoroughly targeting the imperial palace.
The other two denominations were also likely to target the same area.
‘We might be able to attack the central area. But what if that really happens? It may cause great damage, but that’s where it ends. They will be suppressed one way or another. Does it mean that much?’
there is.
If Shaanxi’s cavalry comes down through Hwasan and Jongnan, Gwanghyeol’s passage through Gansu will be of great significance. Even considering the losses the two armies will suffer in the process, a total of 5,000 to 8,000 units will be able to enter the central region.
If it’s just for that, it’s a possibility.
however.
‘I can’t be sure that it will hit from two places at the same time. Even if Gwanghyeol and Saeum had thoroughly colluded in advance, it would be impossible to communicate at a distance of a thousand miles. Especially while advancing this quickly.’
If they were really targeting the central region, would they have tried to deal with it with only this many troops?
This is not Janggi or Baduk. Moreover, the Murim Alliance was not the capital of an empire.
With that much force, we cannot wage an all-out war against the Murim Alliance. In other words, even if it hits the central area, it will all evaporate after only causing a certain amount of damage.
Assuming that the three religions’ troops numbered 400,000, even though they dispatched ‘only’ 20,000 troops, are the three religions stupid enough to oxidize those 20,000 troops?
“I’m not going down.”
“what?”
A sparkle appeared in Mo Yong-woo’s eyes.
“There is a high probability that the demons of Gansu will not attack the central area.”
“… … ?!”
“This is a scam. If you can’t eat it, you have to do as much damage as possible. If Xinhua is Hebei, where the imperial palace belongs, and Shaanxi is Shaanxi, Gwanghyeol will thoroughly aim for Gansu.”
Mo Yong-woo slammed down the map.
“Detour maneuver. The intention of the 3,000 troops is not to escape from Gansu, but to attack from the rear of the Gansu troops and annihilate the gathered troops.”
