611. Dangi Gua (單騎救兒)

Bongsan (峰山), northwest of Seohyeon.

On a field next to a lake called Bongsanho (峰山湖) at the bottom of the mountain.

Jo Woon was taking a brief rest with dozens of people he had rescued after searching the area around Bongsan Mountain.

“It looks like everyone got enough rest. “Get ready to leave quickly.”

“yes.”

At Zhao Yun’s command, the cavalry approached the people and spoke to them. Jaune quietly watched the scene and then turned his head to look around the lake.

“It’s such a beautiful place, but it’s truly devastating to see the bodies of dead people everywhere.”

Jaune, who was muttering to himself like that, soon noticed something strange and opened his eyes wide and glared at it.

“… … .”

Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned around and returned to his subordinate, who was busy preparing for withdrawal, and spoke in a low voice.

“Look. I have something important to discuss. “Don’t be alarmed and listen calmly.”

“Christ. “What’s going on?”

When the subordinate did not understand the meaning, Jaune glanced behind him and said.

“The enemy is in ambush nearby.”

“yes? Is that really true?”

“Look over there. “Don’t show anything that they won’t notice.”

Suha looked at the place Jo Woon pointed to with his chin, and when he found something strange, his body froze.

“That one… … .”

What caught the subordinate’s eyes were hundreds of soldiers kneeling with both knees on the ground in the reed field next to the lake.

“I thought it was somehow strange. “No matter how much Cao Cao’s army is scattered in all directions and killing the people, it makes no sense that there has been no response until now.”

“They just quietly watched us search and rescue our people.”

“yes. “They must have been quietly forming a siege from all sides and slowly narrowing it down.”

After saying that, Jaune gestured with his chin to a place other than the reed field where the enemy soldiers had ambushed. When the subordinate looked at the place that Zhao Wun had pointed to, he was, as expected, ambushed by the enemy, holding his breath.

“… … Still, this is too fast. “It was only recently that we defeated the enemy in Seohyeon.”

“That’s why I came up here to save the people. But it seems I let my guard down. “I didn’t know that JoJo’s response was this much faster than I expected.”

“We must retreat immediately. “Our rear has not been surrounded yet, so we must retreat quickly.”

Jaune nodded at his subordinate’s words.

“That’s right. Let’s stop here to save the people. “It doesn’t matter what happens to my life, but your lives should not be put in danger.”

After saying that, Zhao Yun had the soldiers put the people on the back of the horses one by one and tried to retreat to the back of the mountain. However, as Zhao Yun and his party tried to retreat, a soldier from Cao Cao’s army, who was nearby, stood up and struck something with both hands.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

Hearing that ominous sound, Jaune looked closely at the enemy soldier making the sound, and found that he was holding a broken roof tile in both hands that seemed to have been obtained from somewhere, and was making the sound by hitting it.

“… … “It looks like they’re sending a signal that they’ve set up an ambush.”

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Cao Cao’s soldiers who had been hiding everywhere got up and came rushing towards us.

“Christ. “We have to go quickly.”

Jaune saw the soldiers already retreating to the back of the mountain and followed them with his subordinates.

But before Jaune’s horse had even taken a few steps, the sound of numerous horses’ hooves was suddenly heard from behind.

Doo doo doo doo!

When Zhao Yun looked back, a cloud of dust was rising next to the lake in front of him, and about a thousand of Cao Cao’s cavalry were speeding towards him as if they were flying.

“… … .”

Jaune watched the scene quietly, then turned his horse’s head and slowly advanced towards the approaching enemy cavalry.

“Christ! Where are you going?”

When the subordinate who had taken the lead belatedly noticed Jo Woon’s actions and was taken aback, Jo Woon tightened his grip on the spear and said,

“First, take the soldiers and the rescued people to Hyeonseong. In the meantime, I’ll bide my time dealing with those cavalrymen. “If I leave like this, those guys will catch me, so there’s nothing I can do.”

After saying that, Jaune immediately kicked off his horse and ran towards the enemy cavalry that was rapidly approaching.

As Zhao Yun blocked his path, a general appeared among the enemy cavalry along with a cavalryman holding a flag.

< Anmyeong (晏明) on prayer>

A general named An Myeong snorted and shouted as Jo Woon stormed in with his spear pointed out.

“joy. I don’t know where this guy came from, but he’s crazy for daring to attack us alone. “I’ll teach you a lesson from your stubborn brat!”

After saying that, Anmyeong immediately pulled out a sword in one hand and drove his horse towards Zhao Yun.

The two horses passed each other, then made a large circle to the north, then ran side by side.

“this guy!”

“… … ”

On the horses running side by side, Jo Woon and An Myeong clashed their spears and swords, engaging in a fierce battle. The attack and defense continued like that about a dozen times.

Zhao Wun’s spear, which used the spear to cut down An Myeong’s sword, cut through the air and cut into An Myeong’s chest.

“Ugh.”

When An Myeong received a large cut in his chest, he let out a pitiful scream, fell from his horse, rolled over, and died with his neck bent to the side.

“I killed the enemy!”

When Jaune defeated the enemy general, he jumped in among the enemies and swung his spear wildly, intending to distract the remaining enemies. In an instant, five or six enemy cavalrymen fell and died one after another, but contrary to what Jaune thought, the enemy’s morale was not broken.

“Gidowi was killed in action! Let’s all take revenge!”

“Waaah!”

Rather, as the enemy commander’s subordinate encouraged him to fight, enemy cavalry attacked Zhao Yun from all directions.

Jaune looked around while fending off the enemy’s attacks and saw a river running north from the lake, and rode his horse toward it.

“this guy! “Where are you going!”

When Jaune ran backwards rather than running away, the enemy cavalry became perplexed and followed behind him.

* * *

Dong County, Hebi Province.

Jaune was riding his horse quickly up the river flowing to the north. After that, dozens of Cao Cao’s cavalry followed and continued to target Cao Yun.

“die!”

When a cavalry approached from behind and swung a sword, Jaune quickly dodged the attack and slashed at the enemy soldier with all his might with his spear.

“Kaaak!”

The enemy who was cut by the spear fell off the horse and rolled around before stopping. However, before Jounin could see it, he swung his spear like crazy at the enemy that was attacking him.

“Ahh!”

“Ahhhh.”

After repeated attacks, the enemy cavalry that was pursuing them died one by one. Jaune cleverly ran alongside the river and took out the enemy with ease, paying attention only to his left and behind.

Hee hee hee!

How much time has passed like that? When Cao Yun finally saw that none of Cao Cao’s cavalry were left in pursuit, he stopped his horse and sighed.

As his rough breathing subsided, Jaune belatedly looked around and frowned.

“… … “Where am I?”

All that was visible was a large embankment and a river continuing northward.

“This is Dongpi (僮陂). “It’s the name of the embankment you see right in front of you.”

“What a guy!”

Jaune suddenly heard a voice and raised his spear and aimed it in the direction where the voice was heard.

There was a large tree there, and behind the pillar, a middle-aged man was sticking his head out and looking in that direction.

“As you can see, we are just ordinary people living in Harvey. “I was so happy to see the general killing Cao Cao’s soldiers so I excused myself for a moment.”

Jaune lowered his spear when he heard that the opponent was the Habi people.

“It just worked out. I don’t know where this is, so get on my horse. “If you tell me the way to Seohyeon, I will take you with me.”

At those words, the people laughed helplessly.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work. As you can see, my body is like this.”

“… … .”

When the people released their hands that were holding the stomach, the stomach area was soaked in blood. When Jaune saw that, he couldn’t say anything and stayed silent.

“It looks like you’re hurt a lot. “But if you hurry to Seohyeon from now on, you can get treatment.”

When Jaune opened his mouth again, the people suddenly sat down with pale faces.

“I was wrong. “I have one favor to ask of you.”

“What but? “Tell me.”

“Over there… … .”

The people pointed to the bushes behind them and tried to say something, but then they trembled and lost consciousness.

Jaune got off his horse, looked at the people, noticed that they had fainted for a moment, and went into the bush he had pointed to.

“This!”

Suddenly, at the bottom of the bush, there was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. Jaune quickly picked up the baby and looked inside the swab to see that the baby was asleep with drool flowing.

Jaune carefully went out holding the baby and approached the people.

“Looks like I lost my mind for a moment.”

Fortunately, the people came to their senses again in the meantime. When Jaune tried to hand over the baby in his arms, Baekseong shook his head and said,

“General. I was wrong. Please take that baby to a safe place rather than me.”

“… … “What is this child’s name?”

When Jaune asked the baby’s name, the people shook their heads again.

“I don’t know that either.”

“You don’t know? “What does that mean?”

“That child is not my child. She ran away here and heard a baby crying in the arms of a dead woman on the side of the road, so she went and found the baby there. So she suddenly picked him up and ran away. “Then she had the misfortune of being caught by Cao Cao’s soldiers and was injured like this.”

“Right.”

As the sight of the people becoming blurred as if their lives were coming to an end, they left their last words while leaning against a wooden pillar.

“General. Please take care of that child. “I hope I live as long as I can.”

“What is your name? “I will tell your story to the child later.”

“What would you do if you recognized my insignificant name? I hope both the baby and the general are safe… … .”

As the people said that, their voices gradually quieted down and they lowered their heads helplessly.

When the people died, Zhao Yun just stood still for a while, looking at the sleeping child wrapped in swaddling clothes.
