episode_0359

Even the world’s best fire fighters are desperate in the face of forest fires, so how can a mere unknown soldier feel?

Jin Sip-ho was completely distraught and ran with the sole thought of running away.

It was then.

Suddenly, on the right side of the road, beyond the raised hill, a cart jumps out and flies into the sky.

A sight where time seems to have stopped for a moment!

The cart is floating in the air.

The harnessed man stretched out one foot, lifted his knee with the other foot, and stretched both arms back to hold the ox horse’s axle.

It literally flies in the sky with the momentum to run anywhere, even back in time.

But everything that falls is in the sky.

thud!! Good!

The cart lands roughly, forming a semicircle, and the iron-rimmed cart slides violently, sparks flying across the road.

In the Western language, it was an advanced art called drifting.

A cartwheel, sparking and scraping the floor, approaches Jang Sip-ho.

Only then did Jang Sip-ho realize what this phenomenon was called, this strange experience of passing hundreds of times slower as if time had stopped.

Oh my, shit, this is a flashlight-

Finally, bang!

With a shock that felt as if his lower body would be broken, Jang Sip-ho was lifted up like a rock that had been kicked.

You will be punished! Heavenly punishment!

Suddenly, an image of an old man cursing in a heavy rain comes to mind, perhaps when he went on his first plunder, in a past I can’t even remember… …

Even though Jang Sip-ho went in a low parabola, it flew right through the bushes on the left.

Cheong gritted his teeth to control the cart, which was being pushed to the side due to inertia.

When you step on the road with both feet and slip, you wonder if you should use your left arm again and grit your teeth in preparation for the pain!

With the impact of hitting the horse’s axle with a thud, the driving force clearly weakened, so Cheong succeeded in shifting into a straight gear using the method of running a horse without missing the moment.

What, did I hit something?

Cheong, who had accumulated one win without realizing it, tilted his head and then thought, “What’s going on is the bandit Ho-so-in, so he can hit a few of them.”

“Get out of the way! A carriage, no, a rickshaw is going out! Ring! Ring! Get out of the way! If you don’t get out of the way, you could fall!”

Cheong shouted in a loud voice.

Of course, it was essentially a beautiful voice that was clear and refreshing, so even if you scratched it a little, it would only end up being an androgynous voice that would be low for a woman and pretty for a man.

However, contrary to the intention of getting out of the way, it ended up attracting attention.

Wearing a thick coat, he was tall, measuring 176 in Qing hometown style, and his torso was as swell as his chest, giving him the appearance of a legendary barbarian leader.

Of course, he will be a bit short for a barbarian who is over six and a half feet tall, but his girth is still amazing, right?

So, it was a strange sight to see a person pulling a cart faster than a soldier with good physical strength could sprint, but considering the size of the person pulling it, it was also a surprisingly convincing scene.

“Me too! Give me a ride too!”

“Save me! Me too!” “Me too! Please!”

Boarding requests are flooding in from all over.

A vein is sprouting on Cheong’s forehead.

Do these people know who the rickshaw puller is?

I wonder if I have to feed him seolleongtang through his nose to make him regret his good luck.

hmm? No.

If you burn a lot of them, won’t they be able to escape naturally?

Come to think of it, it’s a good secret.

Cheong squeaks, three pieces slide down the road and the cart comes to a halt.

You can stop right away, but if you do that, the cart might overturn.

Cheong, who stopped like that, raises his thumb and points behind himself and shouts.

“Hey! get on! First six people! What does it mean to like comrades! Since we are comrades in arms, we have to live together! Who would even suspect a comrade in arms!”

The latter part of the line is very unnatural.

The part where they explain that they are going to listen to freedom and union and that they are going to pretend to be in the military and get out is bound to be unnatural.

But the soldiers are urgent.

With fire chasing after them, who would have the presence of mind to care that their lines were unnatural even after hearing that it was first-come-first-serve?

“I believed it!” “Thank you!” “I lived!” “Get out of my way, I’m first!”

The soldiers rush straight in.

Two, four, six. eight. As soon as Cheong confirmed the passengers, he immediately kicked the ground.

Due to the unexpected acceleration, one fell and rolled on the floor.

This is why you must wear a seat belt.

—-

The soldiers holding positions on the eastern side of the mountain were able to retreat quickly as soon as the fire rose.

As I run to the east and run away, I see soldiers holding long spears looking down from the top of the hill.

The soldiers who ran away were relieved to see this.

“Big deal! It’s a big problem!” “It’s a forest fire!”

“Huh, huh, huh.”

As soon as the soldiers who were running for their lives passed the blocking line, they suddenly lost their strength and collapsed, lying down on the floor, causing chaos.

A general wearing a helmet and fluttering red thread shouts solemnly.

“These guys! What kind of obscene behavior is happening at the blocking line! Can’t we get over the hill right now?”

“Yes, yep… … ”

No matter how undisciplined the waste is, it is not enough to dare to follow the general’s orders.

So, with shaky legs, I barely managed to get myself up to the top of the hill, and as soon as I crossed the hill, the sight on the other side came into view.

Naked corpses piled together.

Next to them, cheerful-looking soldiers remove the clothes of corpses that have not yet been removed.

“What is this? ”

The soldier lowers his head.

I look down at the tip of the spear that pierced my chest and heart and spit out a handful of blood.

My legs, which were already shaking from sprinting, lost all strength and I collapsed.

“Hey, your coat is damaged. Hit me on the head. Get your head off! Are you going to suck the blood?”

“You say this tastes good? But please step back. When you stab the Jurjin barbarians, you get the taste of having your muscles prickled. Ugh, how can a bastard who receives a bonus be so rich?”

“These miscellaneous diseases are like that. Still, be careful not to damage your coat. Look at this stain. Is it okay to sell supply coats this winter?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to sell this with supplies?”

The soldier, who realized the situation as he heard the sound slowly moving away, thought.

‘How can they do something like this, kill people and then covet wealth and giggle? They are worse than animals, they cannot forgive, they will be punished from heaven, they will go to hell!’

Then suddenly, it occurred to me that this was a sound I always heard when raiding villages.

ah. I’m going to hell too. I should have lived a good life.

However, regret that must come before one’s eyes is just regret, and is absolutely not reflection.

The general, who was looking down from about halfway up the hill, sees a very long line of people escaping from a curved road below.

They wear armor over their fur clothes, half of them carry huge steel oars on their backs, and half of them carry swords.

These are the warriors of the Northern Army.

Like the elite warriors of the North, they gallantly ran up the hill and bowed to the general while panting.

“Chung! This is Baekjang Samyeonjong of Lake Maengguani!”

“Okay. What’s going on? What is the blocking line?”

“General, fire is coming! Wildfire has crossed the southern fire line! Accordingly, all of us withdrew at my discretion!”

“Maeng Gwani Ho? Surely, yes, the Changyang Lake must have taken your west?”

“We immediately withdrew after seeing Hwagwang, and along the way, we joined the warriors who were on the operation. That’s it!”

“Keuhum. First of all, well done. Help with rear work and wait for orders.”

“Chung!”

The general’s expression hardened.

As the fire slowly spread, the warriors in charge of the right-hand side of the waist of the southern blocking line were the Mengwani Lake.

It also meant that the fate of all the warriors on the left was unknown.

The bigger problem is that the forest fire is coming this way.

Fires spread faster toward highlands than lowlands.

Rather than heading south to the south of the Namryeong Mountain Range, we went west with the wind, and isn’t this the highlands to the west?

The general hurriedly rushes out of his seat.

“Sir, the fire has crossed the fire prevention line. It must have passed the southern waist now.”

“What is it? How was the fire line dug so the fire spread? Huh, he seems like an incompetent guy. so? What?”

“Must withdraw.”

“Hmm. Withdraw. withdrawal. withdrawal… … ”

The Gyedu man frowned.

Then suddenly a mean laugh spreads.

“Okay. I will give General Lee a great opportunity. This is an opportunity to carry out the glorious mission ordered by the Emperor himself. Guard the current blockade with a white tiger, and if any traitors escape, kill them and withdraw. Alternatively, you may observe and report that the entire blocked area is in a non-viable state.”

This means to stay in place until the fire spreads right in front of you and kill those who run away.

However, if a fire is right in front of you, escaping from it is a long way off.

So, the order was to protect the blocking line and die.

But there is no right of veto.

Since he said that the emperor had ordered it directly, if he refused, he would immediately become a traitor.

“… … I understand.”

“Okay. do me a favor Perhaps if I excel in the military this time, I may be promoted to a great general. A nice statue could be built.”

The adjutant who heard the story became angry.

“Aren’t you just saying we should all die? How dare these bastards, bastards dressed in silk, idiots who have never once thrown a stone at a barbarian.”

“Do we all have to die? A living life must be lived. 300,000 volunteers were selected from Daesun Lake.”

“Would you like to have 300,000 left? If it were the general’s order, I would have jumped into the fire, but no, it was a real fire.”

“Thirty. Give priority to those without a wife or children. Wet the clothes completely with water, send the steel workers and Woldo to the withdrawal side, and arm them as lightly as possible. As of this time, the blocking line is drawn up the hill. The moment the fire is observed within 100 pieces, everyone will withdraw.”

“Chung!”

So, it was a time when the northern army was busy preparing for withdrawal and raising wooden fences to the top of the hill.

Below that hill, beyond the curved road, a huge rickshaw suddenly appears. A rickshaw?

The general rubbed his eyes.

However, if you look again, there is a rickshaw, a cart that looks like an ox, carrying a lot of soldiers and climbing the hill furiously, and there is a big man pulling the rickshaw.

“What is that?”

He has a reputation that makes him look like a portmanteau.

Were there any warriors who were not part of the Northern Army? No, why did such a business mix waste with waste and bring it inside?

After that, well, not all waste products are incompetent.

If you are looked down upon by your superiors, you are a waste product.

Even a good soldier who pulls a cart pulled by animals with his own body to save his comrades(?) can easily end up as waste.

Just like you are now.

“No, what is that… … ”

“Wow, that is the power of people, what is it.”

Even as they are busy preparing for withdrawal, the northern troops turn around one by one to see the amazing sight.

“That is a hero whom it would be a waste to kill. Isn’t this the kind of bravery that suits my military?”

“What should I do?”

“There’s a flag, right? Listen and let it pass. He is too valuable a talent to be dealt with in a place like this.”

Even while climbing a steep hill, the speed of the rickshaw does not decrease.

Even in the midst of chaos due to preparations for withdrawal, the adjutant personally holds a flag and prepares to greet the warrior.

Cheong breathed, breath, breath, breath, breath, breath, breath, breath, desperately trying to catch his breath as he ran.

Running with all your might while pulling a cart with eight people on it, over a distance of more than ten miles, is a bit out of breath, even if you are Chojeolcheong, Chojeolcheong.

Every time I take a breath, I scream from my side to the quintet.

But it’s worth holding on to.

Not only could I not endure it, but at some point, the pain felt like it was being pricked, and it felt like I was forcibly pulling off a loose scab. What should I say about this? A strange feeling.

However, flowing sweat is not welcome.

The skin under the thick clothes was filled with moisture, the underwear was already damp, and the sweat rising up was even more unpleasant because it had been a long time.

My heart is already pounding and I am out of breath, but when I try to inflate my lungs, my side nudges me and tells me, ‘Don’t forget, you’re our patient,’ and gives me your attention. I’m sweaty and wet, and I can’t even see the front because it’s so hazy.

It’s literally one hundred times more frustrating!

Meanwhile, if someone is blocking the road, the heat will naturally spread.

“Get out of the way! If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll hit you!”

“Wait, stop!”

While navigating the mountain path that is more than 10 miles from Cheongdo, I learned several tips.

Cheong lightly kicks the ground and grabs the horse shaft to lift himself up.

But the wheels keep rolling and the cart moves forward.

However, the back of the cart was lowered and the front was lifted using the principle of a lever, so Cheong, who was hanging straight on the axle of the horse with both arms as if they were parallel bars, put his feet together and walked forward.

So, Cheong’s feet hit the chest of the guy blocking the path!!
