Chapter 368 – 368 – Joseon Conquest War Begins

Perhaps it is because navigation and ship technology have developed over the past 700 years, when ships used 1,024 times the speed of time, so I was able to leave Seoul, take a boat from Incheon, and pass through the calm West Sea quite comfortably and arrive at the tip of the Shandong Peninsula.

Arriving at the port at the end of the Shandong Peninsula, unpacking and resting for a while to relieve the travel fatigue, then packing again to reach the western end of the Shandong Peninsula… So, we have arrived at the westernmost territory of the Holy Korean Empire.

This was an area where military tensions were rampant as there were frequent small-scale local wars between the two countries.

“Who is in charge here?”

“Yes! That’s me! “I am Park Gyu-hong, the commander of the 13th Garrison of the Shandong Peninsula and the senior commander of the Thousand People’s Army!”

“Yes, Gyuhong. “Please explain the current situation.”

“Yes, grandfather. The situation here now…, It’s not that good. There are so many of those idiots…, I have been taking a step back until now. Until now. However, with the recent introduction of iron weapons and armor, we have always had the upper hand. But perhaps the enemies were aware of this, and they increased their defense forces significantly.”

“How much?”

“Originally there were 30,000 people, but now there are 120,000 people… This is about 30% of the enemy forces. “Because the total enemy force is estimated to be 400,000.”

“120,000? Fuck, were you holding on to that number on your own?”

“… Yes? No, no. Since I was the senior Cheonin commander and the commander of the 13th Garrison, I was in command of two other Cheonin battalions under my nearby command. A total of 3,000 people…, Since it was defense, it wasn’t that difficult. As you can see, they are building a castle here and holding on.”

“Still, 120,000 to 3,000 is a huge difference, right?”

“It was originally 30,000… And when they moved in large numbers, in addition to the 3,000 men under my command, there was sufficient relief from garrisons in other parts of the Shandong Peninsula, so we were able to block about 30,000 people by working together. Those guys didn’t attack me like that either. “I could sense a reluctance in the enemy’s leadership strategy, fearing that it would escalate into an all-out war.”

“Hmm…, Even so, is the difference in quantity this big?”

“… I guess it’s because they gave birth to so many babies… We are not behind in terms of total troops, but since our troops are scattered in Japan and Siberia…”

“Anyway, you crazy bastards, there is no difference between going to war based on population, whether in reality or in the tower.”

I briefly heard about the local situation from the local garrison commander, and also received information from a messenger from my eldest sister, the commander-in-chief, about what I needed to do.

-“Sweep away all the enemies in sight and kill them all.”-

My eldest sister wrote down what I am best at.

I also heard an additional story from the messenger: her eldest sister, her staff, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, which her eldest sister runs, unlike the Intelligence Department, say that the faster the surprise attack, the better.

In addition, after a while, an intelligence agent led by the Fourth also came and relayed information to me. According to the intelligence division’s judgment, the enemies on the scene would not be aware of the appearance of the heavy cavalry SS that hastily departed from the capital Seoul, so it would be of great benefit to sweep them away before the enemies notice. He said he would reap.

“Hey, Gyuhong. Do you think the real enemies won’t know that I’m leading the SS?”

“You’ll never know. As expected, the intelligence and analytical capabilities of the Defense Intelligence Agency, led by the Commander-in-Chief, and the Intelligence Department, led by the Intelligence Officer, seem to be keen.”

“… Why are you suddenly flattering me? Do you think they will like that? … Ah, you must like it. Anyway, then we are planning a surprise attack tomorrow. Now, you too, change your name from the defense force and follow us when we sweep in. Are you ready?”

“Of course. I didn’t know that my grandfather and the SS would come in person, but after seeing the recent preparations for war, I continued to train intensely in case something like this happened. As soon as the attack plan is implemented, our 13th Defense Force will change its name to the 13th Expeditionary Brigade and join the advance.”

“Okay, I guess we’ll have some fun tomorrow.”

Tomorrow morning.

As I was about to advance, a female messenger hurriedly ran over and handed me a letter.

When I looked at who sent it, it said it was a super secret order in the name of a palace meeting.

For reference, what was promoted in the name of the palace meeting was the highest priority that all the women in our family agreed upon.

‘… What? The super secret instructions are written in code that only our family can read, and only our family should know… Read it and burn it immediately…’

I opened the letter.

It was a complex ciphertext that was a combination of real Korean, English, Chinese characters, Japanese, numbers, and special characters, so it took some time to decode it after taking out a code decoding book.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long, so I was able to decipher it quickly.

-“Enclosed is a wisdom pouch. Open only in case of emergency.”-

When I asked the messenger what a wisdom pouch was, he handed me a beautiful pouch made of silk.

‘… What? Only open it in an emergency? … Hmm, can I just keep it and open it in an emergency?’

I was wondering what was going on, so I tried to open it, but the messenger stopped me by holding my hand, so I didn’t bother opening it.

If it had been a man with a penis, he might have been angry and asked how dare he hold the king’s hand, but this messenger was unusually a very pretty girl.

“The Commander-in-Chief, the Prime Minister, the Priest, the Intelligence Officer, and the Treasurer…, My father told me that if I couldn’t control my curiosity and tried to open it right away, I would definitely stop it. Since it is a good thing, they tell us to hold on for a little while and open it when there is an emergency.”

“… No, do you think there will be times when I’m in an emergency? “Is this me?”

“But just in case… Father, please… I tell my father that if he opens this now, he will be punished…”

“Ha…, I get it… Instead…”

“… Can I open my crotch? The advisors at the Royal Court already said something like this would happen…”

“Oh, that’s accurate.”

I put the bag of wisdom in my arms.

And I forgot because I was busy picking on the pretty messenger girl in front of me.

Do you know what role 1,000 heavy cavalry could play on an ancient battlefield?

You can literally do almost anything.

Almost everything.

Warhorses and men clad in iron armor were tied together and attempted to break through one point with one mind and one intention.

The story is that he focused only on charging through the imaginary lines and enemies he saw in front of him.

“Aaaaah! … “Run away!”

“… Monster! “You’re a monster!”

“Changi! Arrow! Nothing works!”

“Everyone runs away!!”

Have you ever seen horsemen charging in a movie or drama?

Rather than looking from a third person’s perspective or looking down from the sky.

From the direct line of sight of the infantry, what does it look like when the enemy cavalry charging towards me is charging in a group?

Maybe at that point…, We learn why infantrymen are afraid of cavalry charges.

And the enemy infantry is probably feeling that moment right now.

“… Argh! … I-I can’t! “Please save me!!”

“Don’t run away! Everyone stands in your place!!”

“… I hate it, I hate it! I will live! Furthermore, I’m going to buy it!”

“If you don’t stay where you are, I’ll kill you! Solitary view! Kill those who run away! If you run away, you will die by my hands!”

Some of the enemy’s generals and generals, accompanied by independent officers and independent combat units, tried to re-establish military discipline by killing those who tried to run away or surrender, but the enemy’s troops, which had already been completely surprised and were being split through the center, were unable to respond properly. I was helpless.

“Hey! Hey! Kill them all! Kill it!!”

“Follow your grandfather! Everyone, don’t fall behind! You have to pierce it all at once! If we don’t break through, we will die!!”

“Bite down hard! Give your stomach strength! Run like crazy! In this operation, speed is everything! “Punch through and kill all the enemies!!!”

1,000 cavalry soldiers armed with iron armor broke through the central formation of the enemy troops armed with bronze weapons in a surprise attack.

The enemy, who was unaware of our existence and was just trying to confront us as usual, was caught off guard and launched a surprise attack.

This operation worked completely well.

I was clearly feeling this as I stood at the very top, the tip of the arrowhead leading the SS, cutting through the enemies and charging.

‘Done! These bastards are absolutely terrified! I was so scared!’

As the center of the enemy was literally crushed with sharp fangs and a conical formation like the front of a sharp dagger, the enemy became demoralized and began to flee.

It was probably a natural result, since I took the lead and opened a large hole in the enemy’s formation with a spear that spewed out mana.

“… Aaaaa!! Save me… !!”

“Gawk, ugh…” .”

“It’s coming, it’s coming…” !”

“Oh my… Wow… ! The barbarians from the east came on horseback… !”

“Manchurian barbarians came on horseback… ! We’re no match for each other… !!”
