Episode 397. rather kill it! (2)
Doong-dung-dung-dung-doo-doo-dung-dung-dung…..
The sound of the drums they beat also changed in an orderly manner following Guo Ga’s signal, and so did the shaking of the flags. It changed elaborately and began to properly block the offensive of the Hwabu army.
‘It’s done. thank god. This is enough to buy the Lord Gong time to escape!’
A sigh of relief flowed from Guo Jiao’s mouth as he beat the drum as he blocked the Hwabu army’s offensive.
Even if a well-formed square can slow down the Hwabu army’s offensive, it will not be able to prevent the castle from eventually falling.
However, in the current situation, it was enough to give Jojo time to escape.
Jin, once formed, was fluid like sticky glue, and tenaciously blocked the fireman’s army.
Wheein…
And then, suddenly, numerous arrows flew towards the masters and riders.
Pupper puppuk…..
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
the soldiers holding shields hastily raised their shields Among other things, the drum was torn and the riders missed the flag.
hooked
“Keugh!”
An arrow also pierced the forearm of Guo Jia who was beating the drum.
“Damn me! Does it end like this? If I don’t cut off my arm… I’ll die.”
Guo Jia knew better than anyone what would happen to those who were hit by arrows. So he boldly took out a knife and cut off his arm.
squeak.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I was in excruciating pain, but I gritted my teeth and beat the drum with my remaining arm.
Guo Jiao seemed to have been stimulated by such an action, and even though arrows continued to fly, no one left their seats and kept beating drums and waving flags.
Love and love…
Fluff, puff,
puff…..
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… The arrow also penetrated the shoulder.
fluff.
Guo Jia, who sat down leaning on the torn drum, forced a smile as he opened the city gate and saw Cao Cao fleeing.
“Good luck! I’m glad the main character is safe…”
Kung.
When Guo Jia fell for the last time and the square that had been holding out so far collapsed, Huabu’s soldiers poured in like water overflowing the collapsed bank.

“For you to think of attacking the repaired wall with a charge, the strategy of the governor is excellent.”
Zhuge Liang, Gafu, Seo Seo, and others admired the fireman’s plan.
“I just thought that if the walls weren’t properly repaired, they would be vulnerable to attacks. What is the plan?”
The fireman’s idea of attacking the repaired wall with a chump was an idea he came up with based on the information he had obtained from torturing the old man of Namhwa.
When the painter answered shyly, Zhuge Liang shook his head.
“It is usually thought that the repaired walls are stronger.”
“What do you mean? Are the repaired walls stronger?”
As the painter tilted his head, Zhuge Liang continued.
“Just as a damaged place heals more firmly, when you repair a castle wall, you think that you will make it stronger.”
“If it were a normal situation, that would be correct, but since it was an emergency, wouldn’t it be right to regard it as weak?”
“That’s right. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. If the Duke of Zhou had given up on his thoughts, he would have been begging us to attack right away without wasting time for several days.”
food.
The painter smiled lightly at Zhuge Liang’s words.
“Master!”
At that time, Lee Dang-ji hurriedly ran.
“What’s going on?”
“The old man of South Ho… is dead!”
“what? already? Isn’t it time to die yet?”
As the painter tilted his head, Lee Dang-ji scratched his head and continued.
“Suddenly, my vital functions dropped sharply and my heart stopped. The executioners hurriedly laid acupuncture points and gave first aid, but they could not save him.”
The fireman heard that and nodded quietly.
“That’s it. Do not make it any longer.”
The painter did not take the old man Namhwa’s death very seriously.
Thinking of what had happened to her in the past, she could have harassed her more severely, but at some point, she realized that such an act was of no use. That is why he was left without further treatment.
‘No matter how heartbroken he was, at least he made it possible for him to live for a few more days…. Did he want to die so desperately?’
He remembered his feelings of wanting to die for a moment, then shook his head. He wasn’t worth thinking too long about.
“Master, what should we do with the old man Namhwa’s corpse?”
“Burn it.”
“All right.”

Jojo, who was able to escape safely from the capital of Georok-gun on the basis of the sacrifice of the Kwak family, was able to reach the capital of Qingxia by running nonstop for four days and nights.
Fluttering fluttering……
But the flag planted in the capital city of Cheonghaguk was embroidered with the calligraphy of Eosa Daebu, which symbolizes firefighters.
“How come the flag of wealth is planted over there?”
When Cao Cao was frightened, Man Chong hurriedly opened his mouth.
“It must have already been occupied by the Hwabu Army. main ball.”
“The castle was occupied, and I didn’t know until I came here? Does this make sense?”
“I’m sorry we weren’t in a good mood either…”
Jojo felt the sky turning yellow.
Until just a few months ago, thanks to the trinket that stretched out like a spider’s web in all directions, it was possible to know what was happening in many places as clearly as reading the palm of the hand.
I was able to feel deep in my bones that information power, mobility, and above all, the morale of the soldiers were at a rock bottom.
“Ha~. It must be that my days are coming to an end!”
The fireman’s army chased behind them, and the gate of the wall in front was firmly closed like an iron fortress.
“Only three castles of the main duke have been captured. If you go to Anpyeongguk, there are wide rivers and lakes, so if you lead them to water battles, you will be able to drown Hwabu’s army.”
At Manchong’s words, Cao Cao shook his head.
“Cheonghaguk fell into the fireman’s hands without my knowledge, so will Anpyeongguk be safe?”
“The Duke of Zhou still has 100,000 troops. Although Hwabu’s large army is chasing after him, he can sink many people into the water at once by inducing them to water battles. Don’t be too resigned!”
The capital of Georok-gun fell and while fleeing, another half of the troops were lost.
Of course, even now, the fireman’s army is chasing after and eating away at the soldiers, so the damage continues to accumulate.
However, as Manchong said, the years were too precious to just sit back and say it collapsed.
“Whoa~ Yeah, how did we get to this point, let’s try until the end.”
Jojo shook his head and turned around.
When Cao Cao’s order was issued and the direction of the army’s advance changed, the gates of the capital of Qingxia opened, and cavalrymen on horseback poured out.
“Yes, this is Jojo! If you’ve come this far, you have to fight. Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The voice of the vanguard leading the cavalry reached Cao Cao’s ears.
Jojo glanced back and smiled bitterly.
“Who is the author?”
“Well? I’m not sure who.”
“Huh~ Now even a nameless little boy who doesn’t even know his face is mocking me!”
“Don’t worry too much about the governor and that general, hurry up and get on your way!”
“ha! I get it. Let’s go.”
When Cao Cao urged his horse, the scribes and generals hurriedly followed.
Jojo rode a high carriage until he entered the capital of Georok-gun, but now he was riding a war horse like in the old days of generals.
The cavalry from the capital of Qingxia attacked the soldiers behind Cao Cao and reduced their number again.
‘Haa~ I’d rather die!’
Now that the headache has become chronic, Jojo’s face was wrinkled to the point where he could no longer wrinkle it.
* * *
“I’d give up at this level, but he’s uncharacteristically persistent.”
The fireman clicked his tongue as he saw Cao Cao’s army fleeing in the distance.
“Non-si people do not give up if there is even a single ray of hope left.”
“Isn’t that enough hopeless now?”
“When you cross the border of Qingha and reach the entrance of Anpyeong, there is a large river called Yeokgang and a wide lake. Jojo probably sees it as the last bastion of hope.”
At Zhuge Liang’s words, the painter opened his eyes wide as if slightly surprised.
“You’re thinking of competing in a water battle!”
“If there’s a trick to sinking the ship, it’s worth a bet.”
“Aren’t our soldiers also good at surface warfare?”
“Our soldiers are also familiar with water, but water has different properties from place to place, so if Cao Cao arrives at the river first and prepares, he may have to fight a difficult battle.”
“yes. However, judging from what Zhuge said, it seems that he has already made preparations.”
Zhuge Liang said as he lightly waved his feather fan.
“I sent four soldiers to prepare a big trap on the way to Yeokgang. If Jojo gets caught in that trap… he won’t have the strength to endure it any longer.”
“Isn’t Jojo quicker than anyone else in the world? If it’s not some kind of trap, it won’t be easily caught, right?”
Zhuge Liang scratched his head at the painter’s words.
“So… I thought of a plan to touch Jojo’s heart. No matter how quick he is, you won’t be able to avoid being caught by the Duke of Zhou.”
At Zhuge Liang’s words, the fireman’s head tilted.
“what? me? I’m here, how can Cao Cao, who runs ahead, see me?”
“General Okju said he would borrow the appearance of the Duke of Ju for a while. So when Cao Cao sees Zhu Gong, he will definitely try to catch it, even if it is too much.”
“what!”
The painter momentarily recalled that he had previously given permission to Ok-ju and Lee Dang-ji to disguise themselves.
At that time, he gave permission in case something happened to him and he had to deceive many people’s eyes, but he did not know that it would be used as a trap to catch Jojo.
“Are you saying that Ok-ju disguises herself as me to lure Jo-jo?”
“yes.”
“What a shame! Jojo is in a hurry… Maybe he’ll fall for it even though he knows it’s a trap!”
“In the meantime, Cao Cao has caused a lot of damage by luring our soldiers by reflecting himself on the battlefield, so this time it is his turn to suffer in reverse.”
“No matter how hard they set traps, Jojo will be desperate, so I’m worried that something might happen to Ok-joo.”
“I don’t think there will be a big crisis for General Ok-ju because the defense forces didn’t prepare for it.”
“It’s not that I doubt the skill of the defense forces.”
The fireman raised his head and looked at Cao Cao’s soldiers fleeing in the distance.
‘If Zhuge Lieutenant’s plan goes as planned, this last fight will really come to an end!’
* * *
Hiccup.
Ok-ju, disguised as a painter, naturally smiled at the corner of her mouth.
“How is it? Is it plausible?”
“If you look at it up close, it looks like Jugong, but if you look at it from a distance, you will never be able to tell it apart.”
At Bangtong’s answer, Okju turned her head to look at the carriage built at the same height as the painter’s ride and the flags planted around it.
Not only wagons and flags, but also drummers, riders, and guards almost perfectly reproduced the appearance of firefighters on the battlefield.
“It looks like Jojo will be deceived, but wouldn’t he be suspicious? The main attacker who was chasing from behind suddenly appears in front of him, isn’t he the only one with a lot of suspicion?”
“Originally, it is the cold winter when wild boars are easily caught in traps. Tired of hunger, he becomes suspicious of the trapped pumpkin, but he can’t stand it. Maybe Jojo is like that.”
