Chapter 384
Episode 384. this isn’t it! (1)
Awesome.
Bukso gritted his teeth.
If you don’t cut off your feet, you will surely die because of the poison, but if you cut off your feet, there is a small chance that you will live.
“Sir! The soldiers over there are fine even if they get hit by poison arrows… Are all our members of parliament quacks?”
Although there was a slight chance of survival, I still hesitated to amputate my foot.
“What a bitch! I don’t want to die!”
Suddenly, a fellow soldier threw away his spear and ran towards the enemy camp with both arms raised. The bewildered allies did not dare to do anything to him, and the enemies did not particularly attack him.
He ran to the vicinity of the enemy soldiers, fell flat on his face, and shouted for help.
An arrow was stuck in the arm of the fellow.
Bukso blankly watched what his colleague was doing.
My comrade was dragged away after being tied up by an enemy soldier.
‘Come to think of it, if I go to the other side of the camp, I can live there!’
Surely there must be an antidote out there.
Besides, isn’t there the name of the best in the world over there? Maybe you can get a full treatment. Wasn’t there a reputation that the camp of Hua Eosa Daebu treasured even the lives of soldiers who surrendered and did not treat a single life carelessly?
‘It has nothing to do with me whether or not whoever crowns the emperor becomes emperor. Guys like us just need to live. That’s right, just because I’m a legless idiot here doesn’t mean Jojo will take care of me and my family! Fuck me, I have to live somehow!’
Bukso threw down his sword and limped toward the enemy camp.
“I surrender too. I have abandoned my weapon, do not attack!”
Even before Bukso did so, many soldiers who had been hit by arrows were throwing away their weapons and running toward the enemy camp.
“Yeah, even if you risk your life to fight, what are you doing selling your hat? Can’t you come back right away?”
As the soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled toward the enemy camp, generals and generals rode horses and chased after them with spears, but they were so numerous that they could not be properly controlled.

The departure of the heap of soldiers naturally reached the ears of Cao Cao, who was leading the retreat.
“Isn’t Congressman Nam not yet able to cancel the contract?”
Jojo’s voice was urgent.
Originally, even if I retreated, I had some time to spare, so I was going to watch Congressman Namho treat a soldier suffering from a headache. However, it became so urgent that all such schedules were postponed until they returned to the castle.
And the first order was to make a cancellation.
“That’s it yet…”
“Not yet? Are you saying you haven’t been able to make it since you ordered it to be made?”
“All the military corps are busy retreating, so they say they have no time to make plans for cancellation.”
“This is…”
Cao Cao couldn’t ask further because the reason was too reasonable.
In fact, he was also worried, but he knew very well that cancellation was not something that could be made in a short time.
“How long do you have left to the castle?”
“You only have to go one more time.”
“You mean you still have an hour left?”
“It’s getting dark, and the horse can’t keep pace.”
“Yes, even the moon is a crescent moon.”
Jojo looked up at the sky and involuntarily let out a deep sigh.
Before the war began, a million troops were gathered by ordering conscripts from the palace, poison arrows, and giju and yuju.
Even if there was a difference in troops, I thought it was worth trying, but when I actually fought, the fireman’s potential far exceeded his expectations.
If you return to the castle, you will be able to lead the war to your advantage, but your confidence is gradually disappearing.
‘I have this kind of heart, but what about the soldiers? Haa~’
“The forest around Jugong is a bit strange.”
At that time, Manchong tilted his head as he looked around the forest around Guandao.
“What do you mean the forest is strange?”
Jojo himself turned his head to look at the forest, but it was difficult to see something because of the darkness.
“Isn’t something shiny?”
“Something shiny? Then come to think of it… Oh…”
Before Jojo could finish his words, arrows began to rain from the forest.
Pipipipiping…..
“High attack… No, retreat as quickly as possible. Retreat at full speed!”
Cao Cao was about to tell him to attack, but quickly changed his words.
It is a situation where the troops that are already sagging to the rear are being eaten metallurgically by Hwabu’s army. I couldn’t be fighting enemies here.
‘wealth! This guy is terrifyingly meticulous!’
Cao Cao clenched his teeth to the point of making a clicking sound.
The woods around here had already been burned, so I never thought there would be an ambush. Moreover, since the castle to return to was a short distance away, he was unable to look around.
He fell into an elaborate trap that took into consideration not only himself, but also the psychology of the generals and soldiers that they would be safe.
Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
users wo…

“No matter how difficult the poison is to detoxify… How!”
Usually, when the castle gate is closed, the soldiers who could not enter the castle scatter and run away in all directions.
However, even now, in such a situation, countless soldiers did not disperse and ran, shouting surrender, abandoning their weapons.
It was a number that would have been embarrassing if they had come to fight at the risk of their lives.
“Juong, maybe the antidote is not enough.”
As Zhuge Liang shook his head, the fireman turned and looked at the medical team.
Since all the cancellations that had already been made were exhausted, he was frantically making cancellations.
“To think that even though so many soldiers could not enter, they closed the gates because they were afraid of our attack! You can say that Cao Cao has been completely cut in half with this.”
“It is. The desertion of the young soldiers was also great, but the planter attacked at the right time and cut off Cao Cao’s waist, so only about half of the soldiers returned to the castle.”
“It’s half…”
It was intentional, but it tasted bitter.
What is left of Cao Cao now is about 5,600,000?
“Dokdo may have played a part, but it seems that Jojo has lost a lot of trust over the years.”
At one time, Cao Cao’s men were famous for never surrendering to enemy lines, even in the face of death. However, now it is only poisoned and desertion is happening like this… This should be seen as a matter of loyalty.
“Jojo has been overdoing it for quite some time. They plundered and conscripted each territory, and gathered everyone from children to elderly people who could hardly hold a spear… In a way, it was self-inflicted.”
Zhuge Liang shook his head excitedly.
In fact, what Cao Cao did wrong most of all was to use poison against his chieftain. He may have thought it was a good ploy, but it was like digging his own grave.
The fireman’s expression was also bitter.
“How could that be Jojo’s fault? Haven’t countless feudal lords already tried to fill their own interests by dragging the elderly and children alike?”
“That said, there were a lot of mistakes this time around. Above all, poisoning is despicable.”
“Well, if he hadn’t used poison first, I wouldn’t have used it.”
“By the way, there should be a doctor in Jojo’s camp, so after returning to the castle, wouldn’t we be able to make enough antidote?”
Zhuge Liang raised his head and looked at the firmly closed castle in the distance.
After the castle gates were closed, the firefighters temporarily relaxed the reins of the attack and reorganized their battle lines.
It is a lull for the next attack.
“It’s an antidote… Beon-a added the poison that he discovered while making the seven-leaf purifying agent to Obo’s poison, so unless you are a doctor who is quite familiar with poison, you won’t be able to make an antidote.”
Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened slightly at the assertion of the fireman, who could be said to be the best god in the world.
“Isn’t the seven-leaf purifying pill an elixir?”
“What is the elixir? It is just a medicine that gets rid of parasites in the body. Ultimately, from the point of view of parasites, crabs are poison. If the poison is not neutralized, can human life survive?”
Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened at the painter’s words.
“Then you shouldn’t eat a lot of chili leaves.”
“It has already been neutralized and detoxified, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a lot. However, eating a lot doesn’t add to the effect, so you only need to eat it once a year.”
“okay. By the way, making an antidote would be difficult… Cao Cao’s camp would be shaken a lot.”
“yes. It’s cold-hearted, but if you’ve even been grazed by a poison arrow, no matter how old you are, you won’t be able to make it past three days.”
In a way, it was a really scary poison to the world, but the painter was calm.
It was the fireman’s judgment that if poison had already begun to be used anyway, ending the war as quickly as possible without protracting it would be the way for more people to live.
“If poisoned people die one after another… that firmly closed gate may open itself!”
“Cao Cao will be thoroughly monitoring you, so why shouldn’t you open up yourself?”
“Even if you don’t open up on your own, people will always find a way to survive when death comes.”
As the era of war grew longer, more wealthy people and merchants were looking for a way to live on their own, and as a result, secret passages were created in many castles that even the lord of the castle did not know about.
“If someone knows the secret passage, we might be able to sneak in!”
“That’s right. However, you should consider the possibility of a trap.”
“Of course you should.”
“Then, shall we start attacking the castle with a bow after that?”
The fireman thought for a moment, then nodded.
When the fireman’s order was given, the archers went near the castle and fired arrows over the wall.
Since the arrows were not aimed at soldiers firing back from the wall, they were shot to hit anyone near the wall, so the arrows that flew far hit not only the soldiers but also the supply soldiers and the officials who did chores.
* * *
“You haven’t made a cancellation yet?”
Returning to the castle, Jojo brushed up on the lawmakers in less than a day.
Many of those hit by poisoned arrows deserted to the fireman’s camp, but still many others followed Jojo to the end and returned to the castle.
However, as such people were dying one after another, Jojo became desperate like a person whose foot had fallen on fire.
“Sorry. I’m doing my best, but…”
“Eh, I don’t want to hear what you say. Representative Namho. Haven’t you made the cancellation yet?”
Jojo ignored the city council and turned to Nam-ho.
“sorry. I am also doing my best, but I am not seeing results yet.”
“Many of my limbs are dying. Please think of my headache later and do your best to make a cure for now.”
“I will do my best.”
Rep. Nam-ho broke into a cold sweat when he saw that Jojo had delayed even treating his headache.
‘What kind of poison did it mix with so it couldn’t be detoxified?’
The confidence I had at first was gradually turning into nervousness at the repeated failures.
Looking at the poisoning symptoms, it was obviously the poison used when making the anesthetic, but the poison did not disappear even after using the appropriate antidote.
‘Could it be that the performance of the anesthetist has been improved? Or is there another medicine I haven’t thought of?’
