Side Story Episode 79. In the rushing bloody wind (4)
As Lee Cheon-sang ran through the canyon, his eyes scanned everywhere.
‘As expected.’
Countless thick, strong ropes are connected between cliffs in places that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
There were a lot of them, but even if you looked closely, they were so similar in color to the cliff that you couldn’t tell if they were ropes or walls. The shape was so perfect that it matched the rugged cliffs, so even a sharp-witted strategist or a sharp-eyed expert would have difficulty recognizing it.
If he hadn’t been sure that there was a trap, Lee Cheon-sang wouldn’t have recognized it either. So to speak, it was a matter of perception.
Lee Cheon-sang saw the ghost window.
Guichang nodded. Because he too saw the trap.
“Just in case, we should speed up our advance.”
The Yasha Command broke through the canyon at even faster speed.
The canyon was neither very long nor too short.
“Throw one red bullet.”
One Yaksha threw a red bullet at the canyon cliff.
bang! Rumbling!!
There was only one explosion, but the chain shock spread throughout the cliff.
Tududududuuk! Crumbling!
The thick ropes broke and a huge number of rocks came down the cliff and filled the canyon.
Each rock wasn’t that big, but it was big enough to kill a person. It seemed like it would have taken several days just to hang that many rocks on the cliff.
“It probably means that the preparations are thorough.”
Gwi-chang saw Seol-yeonjeon standing at the edge of a cliff in the distance.
The Blood Guards, who were less than twenty, were running away into the distance. Even if he tried to fight back, his entire body was poisoned, and the enemy’s power was too strong.
thud!
As Gwi-chang hit Yacha-beon on the ground, fifty archers from this army, led by Seol I-jeon, came down.
“You worked hard.”
“no.”
Seol Ijeon’s face was slightly flushed.
It was Yasha Command’s first operation. Although the mission was not over, he made a great contribution in the first battle. It excited her.
“Raise the flag again.”
“yes!”
“and… … .”
Guichang looked at Lee Cheon-sang and asked.
“Would you like to take a break? “I don’t think it would be a bad idea to do some maintenance on the unit.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“I don’t know if I can go on like this.”
It was an unexpected answer.
Until breaking through the canyon, Lee Cheon-sang’s commands and movements were very fast and natural. It seemed like he had already thought of a solution to this situation.
“The smokeless scent was cut off. “The commanding lord could be dangerous.”
“What you need to think about now is not the Commanding Lord, but how the Unyeonhyang was cut off.”
“Of course, it’s the enemies… … .”
“As far as I know, the only people in our school who know about smokeless incense and powder for dog use are a few people in the apothecary department.”
“… … !”
Guichang’s face hardened.
“Are you saying that there could be a traitor in our school?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Guichang with puzzled eyes.
“Isn’t this what the Three Lords already thought about?”
“That can’t be possible!”
Although he said so, Guichang’s face showed strong confusion.
“Even though… … .”
I wasn’t confident in my voice.
The current Heavenly Demon Church was no different from a powerful, third-rate organization where all the corruption and vices in the world were concentrated. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
Now that most of the leaders have become corrupted, there are enough traitors to emerge. I just don’t want to admit it.
“We can’t completely rule out the possibility that it was created by someone from the suburbs who was not a traitor.”
“That’s what I said.”
“But no matter how you think about it, the probability that there is a traitor is much higher.”
I really don’t want to admit it, but if I think about it calmly, what Lee Cheon-sang said was right.
“Then it’s one of two things. “Should we advance like this and find the commanding lord, or should we wait here in preparation for any unexpected situation?”
“atmosphere?!”
“To be more precise, let’s take a closer look at the enemy’s reaction.”
Guichang shook his head.
“If the captain dies, the strength of the unit is halved. “We must save the commanding lord.”
“I don’t know that either.”
“What do you mean?”
“If there was a traitor in the church and they leaked information about Muyeonhyang, etc., they would have also told us who the commander of the headquarters is.”
“… … !”
“Even if you know the power of the command lord, deploying a corresponding expert is a different matter. “If we had deployed a force capable of dealing with the Transcendent Master, the Lord of Command and Lord Lee would certainly be in danger now.”
Demonic energy soared in Guichang’s eyes.
“Are you saying that the Spiritual Lord may have already passed away?”
“I don’t know.”

“There is no way the Commanding Lord can be defeated by those guys.”
“Given the nature of the commanding lord, he will not bother to fight in the enemy camp. “If it was a winnable fight, he would wipe it out, but if not, he would retreat and join us and then try to reorganize.”
“yes. therefore… … .”
“I mean, I’m not sure about anything right now.”
The ears twitched.
Lee Cheon-sang was right. First, the enemy special forces were captured. There was no need to think about it. It was natural to catch them first from a tactical point of view, not a strategic one.
But what happens after that?
“No matter what, I can’t just sit there like this.”
A unit is an expendable organization.
Martial people who have honed their internal skills can last much longer than other ordinary people, even if they eat and drink less.
But that’s literally just holding on. The fact that one must eat well and rest well in order to exert one’s strength is the same for both martial people and ordinary people.
If you continue to keep an eye on the enemy like this, your personal food supply will also decrease. We did bring enough food for the operation. However, now that the situation has become urgent, no one knows when this mission will end.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was thinking deeply, opened his mouth.
“If I say that I will hold out here until the end, will you lead the three armies and leave separately?”
Guichang’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s an issue we can’t leave alone just because we have different opinions. If that has to be the case, it would be right to prepare a sufficient strategy and tear it apart.”
In this respect, Guichang was definitely not a bad commander.
Lee Cheon-sang took out a map from his arms.
“let’s see.”
The two of them arrived before Lunar New Year and looked at the map.
“If we wanted to take a detour without going through the canyon, we had to go around here. “It would have taken two days at the earliest, or three days at the latest.”
“I guess so.”
“But we passed through the canyon. And there will be enemy forces ahead to greet us. “With very high probability.”
Guichang also agreed.
“Let’s share the power.”
“how?”
“One unit will advance and fight the enemy unit, and the remaining two units will take a detour up the canyon.”
“… … !!”
“It’s going to be difficult either way. “The troops facing the enemy will be burdened with having to engage with only one-third of their strength, and the troops bypassing them will be under a physical strain.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s fingers pointed at two places on the map.
“The detour point is here and here. “If the enemy is in front of the ridge here, it will take half an hour, and if they are waiting behind the ridge, it will take one hour and a half more.”
“hmm.”
“Even if you want to save the commanding lord, you can enter after engaging the enemy troops. “If by chance there are no enemy units, that would be fine, but considering their tactics, there will definitely be units deployed to welcome us.”
“then?”
“Neither I nor the Three Lords have organized our thoughts. In that case, let’s capture these guys first, and let’s have the rear troops head straight to Yeonseong.”
Guichang and Seol Yi-jeon looked at Li Cheon-sang with surprised eyes.
“Are you saying that one unit should engage the enemy, and the bypassed unit should go straight to Yeonseong? Instead of hitting the enemies back and forth?!”
“exactly.”
“that… … “The conditions are too harsh for the remaining units.”
“Instead, we must show our enemies its existence.”
“… … !”
“I’ve seen territorial fights between wolf packs. This rarely happens, but I watched because I wanted to learn about their habits. Among them, wolves that had gone hunting separately appeared from behind.”
“… … .”
“They were distraught and scattered. “I believe that just because I’m human, I’m no different from a wolf.”
“different. Methodically trained people are different from animals. but… … .”
“… … .”
“Not bad.”
Even if they don’t scatter, they will definitely be embarrassed.
people say Even if you attack back and forth, the total power is the same, so what’s the use?
That was something only someone who didn’t know much about strategy and tactics could say. A unit must maintain its ranks to be effective. If a small unit disrupts the ranks through a rear or flank surprise attack, that alone can cut the enemy’s strength by more than half.
The military does not risk its life for rank for nothing. The martial arts people are idiots, so they don’t learn the martial arts.
“Then who would be better off staying?”
“Of course us.”
Worry appeared on Seol Yi-jeon’s face.
“But my lord. “It may be a small number, but we have already lost some of our strength.”
“But we must stay.”
Lee Cheon-sang saw the ghost window.
He nodded with a heavy face.
“A group of soldiers is good at all-out warfare and individual battles. On the other hand, the three armies’ blood clots are good at breaking through sharply to shake up the enemy’s lines or for surprise infiltration.”
“That’s it.”
Seol Yi-jeon refuted again.
“This army’s Great Tigers are better at all-out warfare than the Gunrangs. Even though it’s not enough, I lead it well… … .”
“Daehojin is skilled in ‘all’ forms of all-out warfare. So archers can also operate efficiently.”
“yes?”
“Arrows are more powerful when they are invisible than when they are visible. “If one of the diversionary units must remain, considering the enemy’s strength, this unit should remain and provide supporting fire and rear assault.”
“… … !”
“Do you understand?”
Seol Yi-jeon bit his lip.
“… … yes.”
Lee Cheon-sang folded the map.
“Let’s get started right away.”
“Ilgunju.”
“Please speak.”
Guichang sighed.
“I wish you good luck.”
“I hope you come before it gets dangerous.”
“We will leave first and go out after half an hour. “Shouldn’t we ease the burden as much as possible?”
“You can’t do that. If they aren’t stupid, I’ll send another advance team. We too must leave now. “We have to show their advance team that we are advancing so they won’t turn their attention to the diversionary raid team.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s strategy was cool and reasonable.
“Go ahead. “I will leave immediately after explaining the strategy to the Yachas.”
“I understand.”
So the Lee and Third armies began their detour. The group also advanced after hearing a brief explanation.
Among the group of yakshas, no one was scared. Anyway, we successfully fought two battles. It was enough for them to have confidence in their own power, and, crucially, their faith in their superiors was firm.
But after one hour.
The faces of the yakshas who passed the ridge and saw the troops encamped below showed signs of tension that could not be hidden.
The enemy numbered well over three hundred. Moreover, the enemies lined up at the rear were even carrying arrows.
You’re holding a unit that size head-on?
At that time, Lee Cheon-sang spoke.
“I believe you are all out of breath.”
He heard the red nightshade.
“The whole army marches.”
Rumble!
A group of Yacha workers led by Lee Cheon-sang began to climb down the ridge.
