Chapter 443 The Tenacious Goguryeo (1/2)
Chapter 443 – The Tenacious Goguryeo
Xu Huang watched the carnage as his 1,000 knights slaughtered all Goguryeo's scouts without fighting them in melee combat.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
The gunshots continued until the last scout went down.
Xu Huang had a new inspiration as he experienced the hot weaponry personally.
'With this kind of weapons, I think deploying fewer men to a battle is more efficient. A rogue tactic is also applicable, or maybe we can defeat a 100,000-man army with a thousand man with enough ammo.'

An hour passed since Gogukcheon had sent his scout team to check on Xu Huang, but no one returned to tell a tale.
The king got fed up. He ordered his best general, the four-wing demon, to take charge.
”Go with all demons. I want to know what has happened to that fool. While you're at it, curse those Han soldiers.”
Four demons departed with their bodyguards. 5,000 Light cavalries followed after them.
One hour later, they arrived at the battle site where Xu Huang's men slaughtered all of their scouts.
Xu Huang had already retreated from the scene and followed after Jia Xu's group. Only the aftermath remained.
Checking the corpses, they found out that their soldiers did not die by melee weapons but strange small leads.
”What's this?”
The demons picked up a lead bullet head and examined it.
”Were they killed because of this?”
Baffled and astonished, the group turned around, planning to retreat and report their findings to their king.
*BANG*
A gunshot sound came from a distance away. One of three two-wing demons felt something entering his skull before his consciousness faded forever.
All demons turned to the source of the sound.
*BANG*
Another shot ended another lesser demon's life.
The demon leader found the shooter. It was Xu Huang, who had been hiding his presence nearby.
”BASTARD!!”
The weapon that Xu Huang was using was unprecedented to all Goguryeo's soldiers. The demons rushed at the white knight in anger as they armed with their demonic soul's aura.
Xu Huang squinted his eyes as he flew backward. At the same time, he aimed at the remaining two-wing demons.
*BANG*
*BANG*
Each bullet punctured through the chest of the chasing demons.
Now, only the four-wing demon remained.
Terrified by the gun in Xu Huang's hand, the four-wing demon flew away.
Xu Huang frowned. He aimed at the fleeing demon, but the latter was too fast. He already escaped from Xu Huang's sight by the time that the latter's aura covered the new bullet.
'This technique takes time. I should have practiced using guns more.'
.
The demon general returned and reported everything to Gogukcheon.
”A new weapon?”
”Yes. The Han has brought a new weapon. It shoots small leads that can puncture through aura shield.”
”That doesn't make sense. I thought demons are superior in terms of combat. Have you gotten shot by one of those?”
”N-No…”
Gogukcheon frowned, ”Then, it's the difference in wings, you fool! That person has 4 wings, right!? Then, all dead demons were no match for him!”
”R-Right, your majesty is wise.”
”But that doesn't mean we're losing the initiative! From here on out, you'll be working alone! Go and stalk their army. Curse their soldiers at night and leave the fighting to the men.”
”U-Understood, your majesty!”
