It was hard for people to develop an addictive good feeling on the chaotic and chaotic battlefield of millions of people.
Arrows danced in the air, swords and spears weaved through the air. Countless people with outstanding minds and physiques, who had hopes of becoming heroes, easily fell in accidents. The distance between people wasn't big, and it was especially equal in the various accidents on the battlefield. It would often make people feel insignificant.
Of course, there were exceptions.
The Jurchen fierce Anwutan had been fighting with the army for nearly 30 years.
In these 30 years, he followed the rise of the Jurchen, killed along the way, and experienced victory after victory in battle.
The great victory at Chuhedian, the great victory at Hubudagang, the attack on Shangjing, the attack on Yunzhong, the annihilation of Liao, and the conquest of the Wu dynasty … Anwutan had seen Aguda's majestic heroism when he swallowed the world, witnessed Wu Qimai's astonishing bravery when he fought against tigers and bears, experienced Wanyan Loushi's fierce and unrestrained battle, and witnessed Zong Han's strategizing …
Along the way, there were hundreds of battles, and Anwutan often acted as the first general to attack the city walls or the enemy's frontlines. In theory, this was one of the troops that suffered the most casualties, but it was as if the heavens and earth were on their side. In these battles, the troops led by Anwutan were mostly successful.
Even in battles where there were no achievements or heavy casualties, this valiant Jurchen general never lost his life or messed up military plans. Even if the attacks were unsuccessful, the valiance and ferocity of Anwutan's troops would often leave a deep impression on the enemy, even causing a huge psychological trauma.
In the Jurchen army, he was actually as experienced as Zong Han, Xi Yin, and the others. The only official position in the army was Mengan (Chiliarch) because Anwutan's ability to lead troops was limited to this. But in terms of pure offensive ability, he was a fierce general comparable to the God of War, Loushi.
After fighting hundreds of battles, war became Anwutan's everything. In the gaps between battles, he would also engage in other forms of entertainment to relieve his body and mind. However, what this fierce female general craved the most was the feeling of leading the army to smash through the enemy's defenses in the most ferocious manner and step onto the enemy's city walls.
It was just like when Lou Shi attacked the city of Puzhou. When the vanguard failed to take the city, Lou Shi personally led three armored warriors to climb the city wall. The four of them killed the soldiers of the Wu dynasty until they were terrified, and the army behind them swarmed up. This kind of achievement was not unique in the Jurchen army.
Chu Hedian's three thousand men had defeated the Liao army that was said to have a hundred thousand men. Hubu Dagang's twenty thousand men had killed seven hundred thousand men and caused them to turn around and flee. Wulytan had also defeated the enemies that were said to be fighting to the death in front of him time and time again. He had charged up the seemingly strong city wall, and in front of him, the enemies were killed until they were terrified. At such a moment, one could truly feel their own existence.
At this moment, it made people feel like they were standing at the top of the world. The Female Enlightened Master's invincibility and the Female Enlightened Master's excellence were clearly displayed at that moment.
This allowed him to righteously plunder and enjoy everything provided by the world. For such an outstanding person like him, wasn't it a matter of course to possess and enjoy everything?
The Black Flag Army was an enemy that the Female Enlightened Master had rarely encountered in the past few years. Lou Shi had died due to an accident on the battlefield, and he had fallen into the enemy's trap and had his escape route stolen. The enemy was indeed different from the Liao and Wu dynasty, but they were also different from the bravery of the Great Jin. They still retained the treachery and scheming of the people of the Wu dynasty.
This was perhaps the limit that the weak Wu dynasty could achieve under the threat of annihilation. Facing such an army, Wulytan was the same as many of the Jurchen generals. He did not feel fear. They had been unhindered for their entire lives, and now, they wanted to defeat this group of enemies that were still considered decent and prove to the world that the Female Enlightened Master was invincible. At this moment, the forty-four year old Wulytan only felt a long-lost excitement.
If it was the Central Plains, the Wu dynasty, or even the Eastern Imperial Court that had started to rot, that group of spineless people might have used many cannon fodder to first exhaust the enemy. However, Zong Han did not do this, and neither did Ba Li Su. Along the way, the ones in charge of attacking the enemy were the true elites. This also made Wulytan feel satisfied. He asked Ba Li Su for the right and honor to be the first to ascend. Ba Li Su's nod also made him feel honored and proud.
This group of people was full of scheming and scheming, but in terms of true bravery, they could not compare to him. This time, the moment to defeat the enemy head-on and announce to the world had finally arrived.
On the 25th of October, past midnight, Wulytan ascended the city wall of Huangming County, becoming the first Jurchen general to ascend the city wall of Huaxia's army in the Huangming battlefield and even in the entire southwest war.
*****
The midday sun of early winter hung high in the sky as if it wanted to show its existence. The light and temperature it brought could not suppress the murderous aura accumulated on the mountain battlefield.
Amidst the chaotic scene of tens of thousands of civilians being massacred, the Jurchen army carrying ladders and wooden poles approached Huangming County under the cover of the crowd. As if they were afraid of the civilian casualties, the cannonballs fired from the city wall were still controlled, trying to disperse the civilians one by one.
The first scaling team that approached the city wall was greeted by arrows and crossbows, but the surrounding two teams had already quickly closed in. The most elite warriors in the army climbed up the scaling ladders carried by their companions, and some people directly hugged the ends of the wooden poles.
"Ascend first!"
Thunderous shouts came from the crowd. The first batch of four scaling ladders and eight wooden poles had soldiers on them, and they had already raised their heads in the midst of the charge.
It was impossible to climb up the three-zhang-tall city wall directly, but they could reach the top in the blink of an eye by using the scaling ladders, wooden poles, and bamboo poles that were raised during the charge.
Arrows and crossbows danced in the air, cannonballs flew across the battlefield, and the smell of blood permeated the air. Huge catapults were hurling rocks into the sky, creating a terrifying sound as they whistled through the air. Some people fell from the wooden poles. The people on top of the city wall did not seem to notice this disguised charge and did not use their full strength to stop it, causing Wulitan to feel slightly puzzled.
But at this moment, it was not important.
"Charge!"
"The wife and son are in front of us!"
At this moment, there was only boiling blood in his heart. The dagger was finally revealed. The charging army was finally completely separated from the crying civilians. Ba Li Su, who was in the eastern camp, saw all of this, while Pang Liu 'an, who was on the western city wall, watched quietly. The soldiers on the city wall breathed in the smell of blood.
On the inner side of the city wall, a soldier gripped the spear in his hand tightly and gathered strength. The moment the figure on the scaling ladders appeared in his field of vision, he suddenly threw the spear in his hand!
The spear flew over the parapet wall, over the heads of the people below the city wall, and suddenly drilled into the face of the soldier on the scaling ladders. The Female Enlightened Master below the city wall suddenly roared like thunder, and someone on top of the city wall also shouted.
"Come!"
Numerous Female Enlightened Master soldiers jumped up the parapet wall like tigers and wolves, and what awaited them were swords and spears that bared their fangs. The Hua Xia soldiers raised their shields and pushed forward, and a loud sound of collision rang out. Some people seemed to have been hit by a running carriage, and they spat out blood as they flew backward.
At this moment, the soldiers who climbed up the city wall were not afraid of death. They were tall and sturdy, and they were the most ferocious soldiers of the most ferocious army. They pounced on the city wall with bloodthirst in their eyes, and they were about to charge forward. Every part of their bodies showed their fearlessness and ferociousness.
But what awaited them were battlefield veterans who had the same imposing manner as them and had been waiting for a long time!
"See — Blood!"
The same cry exploded on the city wall. The soldiers who rushed to the top of the city wall were attacked head-on in the blink of an eye. Some of them had their heads chopped off by the saber light, while others had their bodies pierced by long spears and were thrown up on the city wall. Even when they fell off the city wall, they were still shouting and waving their sabers. Someone was knocked down by a huge shield in the crevice of the parapet wall, and when he tried to resist, his hand was chopped off by the saber light. When the shield was moved away, the huge hammer was swung down, and in the dull sound, his internal organs were heavily smashed.
The first batch of people were swallowed by the city wall in the blink of an eye, and the second batch of people quickly and fiercely climbed up the city wall. Wuritan ran up the front of the scaling ladders at the side. He was wearing metal armor, and he held an octagonal hammer with sharp teeth as he shouted like thunder!
While fighting on the city wall, Staff Officer Guo Chen walked towards the artillery formation on the side of the city wall, "Mark their escape route! Don't let a single one go back! "
At the catapult position behind the city wall, the soldiers carried the stones that had been precisely weighed and polished into the catapult bag. On the Jurchen side, the soldiers carried the bombs that were called "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" over.
In front of Ba Li Su, there were already prepared generals waiting for the order to charge. Ba Li Su looked at the city wall.
Wuritan was half-squatting on the scaling ladders that were moving forward, and he was already lifted up high. In the blink of an eye, the front of the scaling ladders went over the parapet wall!
"I am the Great Jin Vanguard, Wuritan! Who will accept death — "
This thunderous roar was as ferocious as when Zhang Fei broke the Dangyang Bridge. It rang out from the top of the city wall and attracted everyone's attention. The Jurchen soldiers who were charging nearby also found their backbone and began to move closer to this side.
The moment he stepped on the city wall, Wuritan swung his hammer, and with a boom, he smashed the shield of a Hua Xia soldier in front of him, causing the soldier to stagger back. Beside him, someone shot with a crossbow, but a few of the crossbow bolts bounced off the armor. Wuritan laughed loudly and charged forward with another swing of his hammer. There was another tall and sturdy Hua Xia soldier in front of him. He raised his shield with both hands and forcefully blocked the swing of the hammer. The shield was made of ironwood, and the outer layer of wood splinters flew everywhere. However, the soldier carried the shield and forcefully squeezed forward, kicking Wuritan's lower abdomen armor.
"Ah —"
Wuritan took a step back, but he didn't feel any pain. He turned his hammer around and swung it again, but before he could reach his strongest point, there was another boom, and it was blocked by the Hua Xia soldier who was holding an iron shield. A cold light suddenly attacked and slashed on Wuryatan's armor. Wuryatan wasn't injured, but his leg was kicked hard.
Wuritan raised his leg and kicked away the soldier who was wielding the blade. He swung the hammer in his hand again, but one of the shield-wielding soldiers leaned against the shield and hit his arm, while the other raised his shield and smashed it at his throat. Wuritan swung his fist to block it, and his other hand let go of the hammer. With a backhand, he pulled out his blade and slashed at the shield again.
At this moment, Wuritan was facing three Hua Xia soldiers. Two of them were holding large iron shields, and the one holding a blade had been kicked away. At the side, a Jurchen soldier who was ascending the city leaped over, and the shield-wielding soldier at the side brandished his shield and drew his blade.
In a short moment, Wuritan and the shield-wielding soldier in front of him exchanged blows several times. He had great strength, and when he brandished his blade or punched out, the other party could only use the shield to block with all their strength. However, every time Wuritan's attack was blocked, the other party would slam into Wuritan. Wuritan was wearing an iron helmet, so the other party couldn't do anything to him. At this moment, he couldn't do anything to the other party either. While they were exchanging blows, there was a boom on Wuritan's left shoulder. The blade-wielding soldier that he had kicked away earlier dragged an iron hammer and smashed over.
"Die —"
Wuritan brandished his blade and charged forward, ignoring the shield-wielding soldier in front of him. The hammer-wielding soldier took a step back, then rushed forward and swung his hammer. There was another loud bang, and it hit his ribs. After that, the edge of the shield flipped over and hit his knee. Wuritan took another step to the side, and the hammer whizzed and hit the iron helmet on the top of his head.
"Soldiers —"
There was a buzzing sound in his head, and he brandished his blade fiercely. Then, his body was hit again, and then again. The iron helmet was a great support to his defense, but for some reason, the surrounding soldiers that pounced at him didn't rush to his side. He was beaten until he was pushed to the parapet wall, and after his knee was smashed by the shield a few times, his leg seemed to have broken. He brandished his blade to resist, but the hammer smashed his head again. In his blood-stained field of vision, the Jurchen soldiers that wanted to charge at him from the left and right were chopped to the ground.
"Go to hell —"
"Iron Tortoise —"
After a shield-wielding soldier knocked over the Jurchen vanguard that tried to rescue him, he picked up the hammer that Wuritan dropped on the ground. Two hammers and an iron shield smashed at the Jurchen generals that were hiding inside the city wall, and it sounded like the sound of iron being forged.
These were actually the fiercest veterans in the Huaxia army. They might not be wearing full body armor, but they were ferocious and skilled in battle. Every time Wuritan swung his blade to resist, they would dodge or smash it away. In less than a minute after ascending the city wall, Wuritan's roar seemed to still be echoing in everyone's ears. He was hiding inside the city wall, and the iron helmet on his head was smashed flat. Naturally, his head was also smashed in the iron helmet.
When the Jurchen led the army to ascend the city, they relied on the most resolute elite soldiers to fight the weak and stabilize their footing on the city wall for a moment to open up a gap for the army that came later. But if they were to face the same elite soldiers, a few or a dozen people successively ascending the city wall, they wouldn't be able to form a battle formation. Without any cooperation, they wouldn't even be able to stand.
Balisu watched for a moment. Huge rocks flew over, and two catapults fell one after another. Then, the third catapult disintegrated. He already had an understanding in his heart.
Previously, the two sides had been fighting back and forth for four to six hours, and only five catapults had fallen on their side. Now that the attack had finally begun, the catapults had fallen one after another — the enemy was also waiting for them to be caught in a dilemma.
"Yu Xian." Balisu pointed to a Han general. "Attack immediately!"
The command to charge rang. At this moment, on the section of the city wall that Wuritan attacked, nearly a hundred people had already been swallowed. Murderous intent soared into the sky. Then, someone poured kerosene, feces, and rocks from the city wall. They had seen enough blood and weren't prepared to wait for people to come up. More arrows started to shoot down from the city wall, and the scaling ladders were smashed. They wanted to trap the attacking army below in a dangerous situation where they couldn't advance or retreat.
On the Jurchen's side, the charging state had already begun. On both sides of Huangming County's city wall, the cannons were also ready. The regiment commander in charge of the cannons, Li Dong, had a blazing gaze. "Everyone, get ready. The division commander has given the order. If the other side wants to come over, and if this side wants to escape, then we will cook them all in one pot —"
When the charging soldiers killed their way over like a tide, the cannons on the city wall sounded. Countless flowers bloomed among the charging crowd. In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of people fell into hell —
Balisu was silent for a moment in the huge clamor.
