I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 488: What kind of magic is this?

The night was dark.

The mountain city of Marudu was brightly lit.

The defending soldiers stood on the city wall full of people, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

Some of them carried bows and swords, while others leaned on spears. They watched the movements around them vigilantly, especially the Han army camp three miles away. Any slight movement would attract everyone's attention.

But tonight, the Han army camp was silent.

The busy construction work of the previous two days has stopped. Tall ladders have been placed aside, and several battering rams are also parked there quietly.

“It’s really the calm before the storm.”

An old soldier said to the new soldier beside him:

"Young man, polish your weapons and get ready."

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Han army will surely launch a fierce offensive."

"When the time comes, the blood will be everywhere and only the bravest and strongest warriors will survive."

"If you can get through that, you will be a commendable veteran like me."

The recruit didn't say anything, he just clenched the slightly trembling spear in his hand.

His breathing became rapid and his eyes couldn't help but drift away into the distance.

What the hell, what the hell, he doesn't want to go through the gates of hell and become a veteran, he just wants to go home and hug his wife.

At this moment, a cold snort was heard:
"You old bastard, you're scaring the new recruits again!"

The city gate captain Momoko loudly rebuked the old soldier:

"What about the blood foam flying and the blood flowing?"

"I tell you, if there is any blood, it is the blood donated by those Han dogs. We don't have to be afraid. No one can break through Wandu Mountain City!"

“But, I heard.”

"No buts!"

The city gate captain Momoko waved his hand fiercely:

"I know what you're worried about."

"A few days ago, the captives who brought back the coffin praised the Liaodong governor to the skies, as if a great demon had appeared in the world."

"But have any of you actually seen a monster?"

"It doesn't exist. It's all fabricated by ancient people, used to brag and fool children."

Momoko's loud scolding attracted a lot of soldiers to gather on the city wall unknowingly.

Su Yao defeated Zhuan Naga single-handedly, and his god-like performance on the battlefield spread throughout Goguryeo like the wind.

There are many different opinions about his bravery at that time.

Some say that he is the reincarnation of the Overlord, others say that he is a great demon that has manifested in the world.

What's more, some people even said that it was a star from heaven that had descended to earth, a sign that the Han Dynasty's destiny was still there.

All these rumors are very bizarre, but they are widely believed.

After all, to them, old General Ryunaga was the pillar of their Goguryeo.

Only that inhuman being could defeat him so easily.

Otherwise, would they be forced to admit that old General Jiannaga was a loser who couldn't even beat a hairless brat?

This is the most unacceptable thing for their national self-esteem.

Therefore, except for a few upper-class people who had doubts, almost everyone believed that the invading Han army was unprecedentedly powerful, and that the prefect surnamed Su was a strange man with supernatural strength.

Therefore, in the past few days, how to eradicate the soldiers' fear of that monster has become a common problem for the defenders of Marudu Mountain City.

Apparently, they have fixed that problem now.

"Look over there, all of you, what is that!"

The captain of the city gate, Momoko, shouted loudly. Everyone looked over and saw flags waving in the city square. A group of people in strange costumes gathered together in formation and performed some magical singing and dancing movements.

"Shaman, the Great Shaman?!"

"That's right!"

Momo laughed three times:
"It is the great shaman and his thirty-two disciples that Heng Naga specially invited from the city in China!"

The soldiers were stunned.

Under the moonlight, in the square, the great shaman and his disciples formed a fairly large shaman group.

They wear colorful costumes, feather-decorated crowns, and have intricate totems painted on their faces. Their eyes show awe and enthusiasm for the power of nature.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the shamans, holding various instruments such as rattles, drumsticks, and bone-carved totem sticks, stood in positions that were obviously strictly selected, and chanted ancient songs along with the leading shaman.

Under this song, the shamans seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, their movements were in unison, sometimes spinning and jumping, sometimes kneeling and praying. An indescribable solemnity and sacredness surged into the hearts of the soldiers.

“The shaman is blessing us!!!”

“OO ...

"Power, power is pouring out!"

The nervous soldiers on the city walls raised their weapons and shouted.

“Isn’t this too abstract?”

"Is there still magic in this world?"

"Sir, what does this abstraction mean?"

A high point among the mountains northwest of Marudu Mountain City.

After observing the movements in the city, Su Yao finally couldn't hold back his complaints.

Then Lu Bu responded with a sigh:
"If it is magic, then your telescope is the real magic weapon of the immortals."

Under the night sky, Lu Bu carefully held the telescope in his hand with a complicated expression.

If Su Yao pulled a rope in the dark night and led a small team of nearly three hundred people to cross mountains and rivers, it would be enough to shock him.

Then when Su Yao took out this magic weapon from his arms like a magic trick, Lu Bu was so shocked that he almost fell off the hillside.

Holding such a small thing in his hand, through the crystal clear glass lens, he could see every detail of the people in the city even though they were far away.

What a magical and mysterious magic weapon this is.

It's exactly like the clairvoyance in myths and legends!

"No, no!"

"This is not a magic weapon, but science!"

"Science? What is that?"

Lu Bu had no idea what kind of "science" of taking treasures out of one's arms was.

"Science is a testable and reproducible discipline. In short, this is not important."

Su Yao forcibly changed the topic:

"The key right now is the shamans."

After hearing this, Lu Bu had no choice but to follow Su Yao's instructions and turn back:
"You can't believe in witchcraft completely, but you can also believe in it."

"I heard that the shamans of Goguryeo were highly respected and trusted by the people."

"Now it seems to be true. Regardless of whether they have magical powers or how powerful they are, these shamans have indeed boosted their morale."

"This is indeed an eyesore for your plans."

“And it’s not just the shamans.”

As he spoke, Lu Bu changed his target with the telescope and pointed:
"Look, my lord. They have a group of about 300 soldiers here, waiting in full battle array at the city defense mansion. I'm afraid they are waiting for you to come."
