Episode 1119 Demon King of Fire (8)
Chuksi Jeong.
Master Muheo went out of the gate first, accompanied by thirty nimble-footed experts selected from the imperial palace.
Only Yeon and Yang knew where he was heading. This was because he thought it was best to limit information as much as possible for one purpose.
After sending the ambassador like that and half an hour later.
The northern gate of the imperial palace opened, and Yan Wei led his troops and marched out.
* * *
The Murim Alliance’s troops were Icheon, but the imperial palace troops supporting them were also Icheon.
Since the number of enemies was predicted to be at least 20, it was difficult to win with only the Murim Alliance troops. Therefore, Icheon soldiers from the imperial palace garrison followed them, and the one who commanded them was Hongun, who was the strongest and most experienced of the three adjutants of the imperial garrison.
‘not good.’
Before heading out, Hongun heard a full outline of this operation from Yeon Ho-jeong.
Nevertheless, he was not confident. Of course, he never showed it in front of his subordinates and instead boosted their morale, but deep down, he thought that the odds of winning this battle were not high at all.
‘It was said that the number of enemies could be at least 20,000 and at most 30,000. It is highly likely that the majority of the soldiers have a similar level of martial arts skills as our garrison or lower, but they are greatly outnumbered.’
It was even said that the Hwajeong they had cultivated had a tremendous ability to repair the body, and that it could not die unless the head was cut off or the internal organs were severely damaged.
Of course, you will not die, but if your limbs are severed, you will lose your fighting ability.
The problem was those who had cultivated Hwajeong to the highest level. I was told that they had the incredible ability to regenerate severed limbs.
In other words, it was like going to fight monsters that don’t die easily. Not only Hongun, but no other soldier in the world has ever fought a battle like this.
‘Definitely.’
Hongun saw Yeonwi leading the horse in the distance.
A proud back view. A long, thick general’s sword was tied to his waist, and the Cheonla Imperial Sword (天羅帝國劍), a symbol of the empire’s military power, was worn on his back.
‘There are at least two non-polar numbers.’
Hongun had personally seen Yan Wei fight inside the imperial palace.
Even before reaching martial arts level, Yeonwi’s martial arts were so powerful that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he possessed the god of martial arts.
There is no particular strategy or tactic. He simply faced the enemy and used overwhelming martial arts, but his majesty was so great that even the enemies could not move easily.
In other words, Yeonwi was a strong general and strong general who raised the morale of his allies and spread fear to the enemy just by being in that position, regardless of the level he had achieved.
‘It was said that Lord Yeonga’s martial arts skills were no less than that of Seongcheon, the strongest martial artist. However, in a fight like this, the tactical skills of front-line commanders would be absolutely necessary.’
I believe in the character and martial arts of a person named Yeonwi. However, when asked whether he believed in Yeonwi’s tactical ability, he had no choice but to answer that he did not.
I couldn’t believe something I had never actually seen. So Hongun could not get rid of his anxiety.
‘The actual battle was decided to be led by the Murim Alliance forces. All we have to do is put pressure on the enemy with military advancement based on rapid information transfer.’
Hongun sighed inwardly.
‘Could it be that we are the victims?’
When looking at it from a global perspective, there are soldiers who deliberately use tactics to defeat their troops and force them to flee. Yeon Ho-jeong may be using such a tactic.
From a strategic point of view, the military was one that was willing to sacrifice thousands of soldiers if victory could be achieved. And the military, of course, has the right to do so in order to win.
‘It would have been better if you had said it calmly.’
Hongun was willing to sacrifice his life for the imperial palace. However, he was anxious because he thought there was something he didn’t know.
‘no. I stepped forward as a general on this battlefield. A general is someone who rules over soldiers and is responsible for battles, but depending on the situation, he or she must also be able to act as a horse.’
His hand holding the reins gained strength.
‘Let’s believe it. It was said that the Yeon clan and his wife were geniuses who would be difficult to reproduce even in the mighty martial arts world. Even if I die, they are people who would sacrifice their lives for the imperial palace, so there is no point in being anxious now.’
When Hongwoon was organizing his mind like that.
Grumble.
The Murim League’s Icheon army stopped advancing.
Naturally, Hongun and the Imperial Palace Guard Icheon troops who followed behind also stopped advancing.
At that time, a huge golden flag rose right behind the Yanwei.
Hee hee hee!
Hongun drove his horse straight up and approached Yeonwi.
“Mulim leader.”
“You are here, General Hong.”
Yeonwi looked at the mountain range.
“Do you feel the presence of the enemy?”
The enemy’s discipline could be felt right away. What Yeonwi was now asking about was the presence of the enemy. He is asking whether it is possible to know from where the enemy is distributed just by feeling.
Hongun quietly raised his spirits.
After a while.
“yes. “I can feel it.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Amazing. Considering General Hong’s level, detecting the enemy’s presence at this distance is usually not difficult. “I am amazed by the imperial palace’s miracles.”
Hongun’s face became awkward.
The national dragon and cloud art he practiced was one of the three great magic skills the imperial palace boasted about.
Offensive power is good, but the new attack, which specializes in defensive ability, can make the five senses extremely sharp because it requires a keen sense of the enemy’s attack and reality. Furthermore, when he reached great prowess, he developed a sixth sense and was able to show absolute defensive ability.
“How much do you feel?”
“Even if it’s a sight, it just feels a bit vague because it’s so far away. However, considering this thickness… … As the Grand Commander said, the number of enemies seems to be around 20,000.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“Good to see. I feel the same way. However, since I opened this place and am keeping an eye on the enemy, the enemy commanders must have also noticed my presence.”
There was no sign of anxiety or nervousness on Yeonwi’s face as she pointed at her head.
Hongun secretly looked around at the Murim Alliance troops.
Surprisingly, the Murim League troops were also somewhat nervous, but no one was scared or anxious.
‘That’s amazing.’
If you do not have absolute confidence in your leader based on sufficient actual combat and rigorous training, it will be difficult to show such military discipline.
Hongun could not help but be impressed by the power of the martial arts alliance, including Yeonwi.

“But how did you call me?”
It may not have been a call just to sense a presence.
Yeonwi said calmly.
“You must have heard everything about this operation from the Grand Commander.”
“That’s right.”
“Did you hear that, on a grand scale, you must follow the grand military’s strategy, but the moment you step outside the gates, you must strictly obey the orders of the front-line commander?”
“of course.”
Hongun said, his face hardening.
“The Grand Commander especially emphasized that point. “At such a great distance, it is impossible to quickly deliver operations. They can only draw a big picture and can never match the capabilities of the commander at the center of operations, so he told us to absolutely obey the commander’s orders.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“Okay. In that case, please call the medium artillery at the rear of the palace garrison.”
Hongun was curious, but did not ask.
After a while.
thud. thud. thud.
The artillerymen in the garrison were all large men.
The number was five hundred, and each one of them was sweating profusely. On his back was a piece of iron weighing more than ten pipes and three stands each weighing one pipe, and on his waist were five gun bags each cushioned with cotton.
It was fortunate that they were also learning martial arts. If they had been ordinary soldiers, their stamina would have run out during the journey here.
At least it weighs that much because the palace’s metallurgy has reached its peak. If it were just made of steel, two or three people would have had to lift and move each door.
“Did you say the range of a medium-sized artillery piece is one hundred and twenty pieces?”
“That’s right.”
One hundred and twenty chapters.
Considering the size of the artillery and the amount of gunpowder, it could be said to have an enormous range.
“You have to go within at least a hundred squares to get a rough estimate of the effective range.”
“That’s right. Moreover, all of them are skilled artillerymen, and the shooting precision of the medium-sized artillery, the Jungcheonpo (中天砲), is extremely excellent.”
It was a thermal weapon that could not be compared in all aspects, including size, weight, and firepower, to the artillery that Jeyeongsa had heard of.
The downside was that Jeyeongsa’s artillery could be aimed and fired while moving, but in the case of heavy artillery, it could be fired after the holder was driven into the ground.
Yeonwi nodded.
“From this time on, the 1,500 imperial palace guards will be thoroughly guarded by 500 artillery pieces.”
“yes?”
“As we are going to meet the enemy general, the Murim League troops will stand by five hundred yards away from the mountain range, and General Hong and I will lead only the imperial palace garrison and advance forward one hundred yards away from the mountain range.”
Hongun’s eyes wavered.
The five hundred artillery pieces were another decisive battle weapon that would reduce the power difference by more than five times.
In other words, 500 guns of Jungcheonpo and 5 fire bombs are 2,500 rounds. With that level of firepower, if hit correctly, it can disintegrate 10,000 enemy armies.
Since the enemy’s troops number more than 20,000, the combat power of 500 artillery pieces can turn a waning battle around in one blow. However, the intention is to use such artillery from the very beginning.
‘Nonsense!’
But Hongun couldn’t get the words out.
Grand Commander Yeon Ho-jeong’s orders were also orders, but there must have been a reason why the Yeon Wi brought up the topic of absolute obedience.
“I follow the orders of the martial leader.”
“I know General Hong’s worries.”
Hongwoon felt hot.
“But don’t worry, trust me. “The best time to use artillery properly is now, not when you are defeated in battle.”
“I just trust the martial leader’s insight.”
In this way, the Imperial Palace Guard Icheon troops, including the regiment and artillery, began their advance at the forefront.
How far did it go?
hook!
The atmosphere of the battlefield changed due to a man who appeared at the top of the mountain range.
Sasasasak.
That wasn’t all. Hundreds of masters appeared to the left and right of the man, and each one of them was displaying amazing prayers, as if they had the strength to fight against each other.
‘You are the author.’
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
A person who utters a particularly powerful prayer. However, as an individual, he does not feel the need to be very nervous.
However, the faint warning bell ringing in the upper battle was telling us that the enemy enemy who had appeared was a more dangerous person than he appeared on the outside.
Yeonwi walked towards the mountain range without paying any attention.
The eyes of the enemy commander, Cheolheumgi, sparkled.
“Stop.”
Cheolheumgi’s voice echoing down the mountain range was filled with intense majesty.
But Yeonwi did not stop moving forward. It seemed as if he was ignoring the presence of Cheolheumgi and the masters he had under his command.
Cheolheumgi’s eyes became sharp.
grasp!
In an instant, he came down to the mountainside and stretched out his hand toward Yeonwi.
“If you come any closer, I will start attacking.”
Only then did the Yeonwi stop advancing.
The distance to the mountain range was one hundred and thirty miles.
“Who are you?”
In response to Cheolheumgi’s words, Yeonwi spoke in a calm voice.
“Return the army.”
“… … what?”
“If we go back now, we can avoid massacre. “Return the army.”
In Cheolheumgi’s eyes, he was young to live.
