Chapter 881: The Fierce Blade (II)
Fighting on the battlefield of tens of millions of people, the chaotic and disorderly battlefield, it is difficult for people to have an addictive good feeling.
Arrows fly, swords and guns are crossed, and countless people with outstanding minds or physiques who hope to become heroes easily fall into accidents again and again. The distance between people is not large, and they are especially equal in the various accidents on the battlefield, which often only makes people feel small.
There are, of course, exceptions.
The Jurchen Meng'an Ulitan has been fighting with the army for nearly thirty years.
In the past thirty years, he has followed the rise of the Jurchens, fought all the way, and experienced victory after victory in war.
The great victory of the river, the great victory of the step Dagang, the attack on Beijing, the attack on the clouds, the destruction of the Liao State, and the ...... of the Wu Dynasty Wu Litan has seen the majestic and heroic wisdom of Ah Gu and swallowing the world, witnessed the amazing bravery of Wu Qimai fighting tigers and bears, experienced the fierce and wild battle of Yan Lou's room, and witnessed the strategy of Zong Han leading his troops......
Along the way, hundreds of battles, large and small, Uritan often served as the first general to storm the city or the enemy's front. Theoretically, this was one of the most casualties, but it seemed that heaven and earth were all working together, and most of these battles were won by the forces led by the Ulitan.
Even in the part of the battle that was momentarily ineffective or suffered heavy casualties, this brave Jurchen brave general never lost his life or missed the military plane. And even if the attack is unsuccessful, the bravery and ferocity of the Uritan team can often leave a deep impression on the enemy, and even cause a huge psychological shadow.
In the Jurchen army, he is actually a senior general as Zong Han, Xi Yin and others. The official position in the army is only as high as Meng'an (Thousand Commanders), because the leading ability of the Ulitan itself is only here, but purely in terms of his ability to attack fortifications, he is a fierce general comparable to the god of war Lou in the eyes of everyone.
After hundreds of battles, war became the whole of the Uritan's life. In the intervals of war, he would also engage in other entertainments to refresh his body and mind, but what the Jurchen general longed for the most was the feeling of leading his army to break through the enemy's defenses with the most ferocity and set foot on the enemy's city.
Just like when Lou Room attacked the city of Puzhou, the vanguard could not attack, Lou Room took three strong men in armor to the city in person, and only four people killed the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty at the head of the city, and the rear army swarmed up - such a record is not the only one in the Jurchen army.
More than 3,000 people from Chuhedian broke the Liao army of 100,000, and 20,000 people killed 700,000 people to turn around and flee. Such moments can make people really feel their presence.
At such a moment, people can feel that they are really standing at the top of this world. The Jurchens are invincible, and the excellence of the Jurchens can be clearly displayed at such moments.
This allows him to plunder and enjoy all that the world has to offer. For such a good self, isn't it a matter of course to have and enjoy everything?
The Black Flag Army was a rare enemy of the Jurchens over the years. Lou Room died due to an accident on the battlefield, and the other party's strategy was stolen, and the other party was indeed different from the local chickens and dogs of the Liao State and the Wu Dynasty, but it was also different from the bravery of Dajin - they still retained the treachery and calculation of the Wu Dynasty.
This may be the extreme that the weak Wu Dynasty can achieve under the threat of annihilation. In the face of such an army, the Ulitan, like many Jurchen generals, did not feel fear, they spent their lives in the middle, to defeat this group of decent enemies, and once again prove to the whole world that the Jurchen were invincible, at this time the forty-four-year-old Uritan only felt the excitement that had not been seen for a long time.
If the Central Plains, the Wu Dynasty, and even the Eastern Imperial Court have begun to corrupt the soft bones to fight, they may drive a large number of cannon fodder to beat each other into tired soldiers first. But Zong Han didn't do this, and neither did Pullaway, and it was always the real elite who were responsible for attacking the fortifications all the way forward, which also made Uritan feel satisfied, and he asked Pullaway for the qualifications and honors of being the first, and Pullaway's nod also made him feel glory and pride.
These people are conspiratorial and calculating, and in terms of true bravery, they are not as good as themselves after all. This time, the moment of defeating the other party head-on and announcing it to the world in a dignified manner has finally arrived-
On October 22, less than halfway through, Wulitan climbed the city wall of Huangming County and became the first Jurchen general to climb the head of the Huaxia army in the Huangming battlefield and even in the entire southwest campaign.
*************
The noon sun of early winter seemed to be hanging high in the sky as if it wanted to show its existence, but the light and temperature brought by it could not suppress the murderous aura accumulated on the battlefield in the mountains.
In the chaotic scene where tens of thousands of civilians were slaughtered and running, the Jurchen army carrying ladders and wooden poles approached the county seat of Huangming under the cover of the crowd. As if fearful of the death and wounding of civilians, the cannonballs on the city walls were fired with restraint and tried to disperse the civilians one after another.
The first team of ladders approaching the city wall was greeted with bows and arrows and crossbows from the head of the city, but the two surrounding teams were already quickly pressing, and the most elite warriors of the army climbed the ladder carried by their companions, and some of them directly hugged the end of the wooden pole.
"Go first—"
There was a thunderous shout from the crowd, and the first four ladders and eight wooden poles were all soldiers, who had already raised their heads in the charge.
The three-zhang high city wall cannot be climbed directly, but with the cloud ladder or wooden pole or bamboo pole raised during the charge, it can be reached to the top in a blink of an eye.
Arrows and crossbows flew through the air, cannonballs swept over the battlefield, blood filled the air, and huge trebuchets were throwing stones across the sky, making a terrifying roar as someone fell from a wooden pole. For this disguised charge, the city did not launch an all-out blockade as if it had not found it, which made the Ulitan slightly puzzled.
But at this moment, it doesn't matter.
"Rush—"
"Seal your wife and shadow son, and you're ahead—"
At this moment, there was only boiling blood in his heart. Seeing the dagger, the charging army was finally completely separated from the crying civilians. The camp on the east side watched all this, and Pang Liu, on the west city wall, watched quietly, and the soldiers on the city wall breathed the smell of blood.
Inside the wall, a soldier clenched his spear in his hand, charging slightly. The moment the figure climbing on the ladder appeared in view, he threw the spear in his hand violently!
The spear flew over the women's wall, over the heads of the figures in the city, and slammed into the front door of the soldiers on the ladder. The roar of the Jurchens under the city suddenly sounded like thunder, and on the city wall, some people shouted.
"Come on—"
Several Jurchen soldiers jumped onto the female wall like tigers and wolves, waiting for them were knives and guns with fangs exposed, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army raised their shields and pushed them up, and there was a loud bang in the collision, and some people seemed to be hit by a running carriage, spitting blood and falling backwards.
The soldiers who landed in the city at this moment were not afraid of death, they were tall and burly, the most ferocious soldiers of the most murderous army, they threw themselves on the city walls, their eyes gleamed with blood, they wanted to rush forward, every potential language of their bodies showed fearlessness and ferocity.
But what awaits them is a battlefield veteran who has the same momentum as them, but has been longing for a long time!
"See—blood!"
The same shout erupted on the city wall, and the soldiers who rushed to the city were hit head-on in the blink of an eye, some of them were cut off in the light of the sword, some were pierced through the body by spears, pierced on the city wall, and even fell under the city, he was still shouting and waving his knife, and some people were knocked down by the huge shield between the gaps in the female wall, and when they resisted, they were cut off by the light of the knife, and the shield was removed, and the huge iron hammer was swung down, and in the dull dull sound, his internal organs were severely shattered.
The first group of people was swallowed up by the city wall in the blink of an eye, and the second group of people climbed up to the top of the wall with speed and ferocity, and the Ulitan climbed to the front of the ladder next to him as he ran, he was dressed in iron armor, and he held an octagonal hammer with sharp teeth, and shouted like thunder!
In the battle on the city wall, staff officer Guo Chen walked to the artillery array on the side of the city wall: "Mark their back road!" You can't put any of them back! ”
On the trebuchet position a little later in the city wall, soldiers carried stones that had already been accurately weighed and polished onto the throwing pockets, and on the Jurchen side, soldiers carried bombs called Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers.
In front of him, there were already prepared generals waiting for the order to charge, and he looked at the city wall over there.
Uritan half-squatted on the advancing ladder, already lifted high, and in the blink of an eye, the front end of the ladder crossed the female wall!
"I am the Ulitan of the Great Golden Pioneer! Who's going to take the death—"
This thunderous shouting was really as fierce as Zhang Fei drinking the Dangyang Bridge, it resounded on the top of the city, attracting everyone's attention, and the Jurchen soldiers who charged nearby also had the backbone, and they leaned over to this side.
The moment he stepped on the city wall, Wu Litan waved the hammer, and with a bang, smashed the shield of a Chinese soldier in front of him, and staggered away, someone next to him shot with a crossbow, but several crossbow arrows bounced off the armor, Wu Litan laughed, rushed forward and hit a hammer, only to see that there was also a burly Chinese army soldier in front of him, he held the shield with both hands, and blocked the swing of the hammer. The shield was made of iron and wood, and the outer layer of sawdust was flying, but the soldier with the shield on his shoulder, he squeezed forward and kicked Uritan in the lower abdomen armor.
"Ahh
Uritan took a step back, not feeling the slightest pain, he reversed the hammer and swung it again, and before he reached the place where he was at the strongest, he heard a bang, and was blocked by the Huaxia soldiers holding iron shields. A cold light struck and slashed at Uritan's armor, who was not harmed, but was kicked in the leg again.
One of the two Chinese soldiers with a shield nearby leaned on the shield and hit him on the arm, causing one to swing the shield and smash it into his throat, Uritan shook his fist to block it, and the other hand let go of the hammer, drew his knife with his backhand and slashed, and the knife slashed at the shield again.
At this time, Uritan was facing three soldiers of the Huaxia Army, two with large iron shields, and one with a knife had been kicked away. On the side, a Jurchen soldier who had ascended the city jumped towards it, and the soldier with an iron shield on the side waved his shield and drew his sword to meet him.
In a short period of time, the Ulitan fought several times with the Chinese soldiers holding the shield in front of him, he was strong and heavy, swinging a knife or punching, the other party could only block with the iron shield with all his strength, but every time he blocked the attack of the Ulitan, the other party also had to slam into the body of the Ulitan, the Ulitan was wearing an iron helmet, the other party couldn't help him, he couldn't help the other party in a moment. In the midst of the breath-to-breath hand, Uritan's left shoulder thudded, and the knife-wielding soldier he had kicked away dragged a hammer towards him.
"Dead—"
The Ulitan slammed his sword, ignoring the shield in front of him, and the hammer-wielding soldier took a step back, then leaned in to swing the hammer, and there was another thud under his ribs, followed by the edge of the flipped shield on his knees, and the Uritan took a step back to the side, the hammer whistling against the helmet above his head.
"Soldiers—"
There was a buzz in his head, the knife light swung violently, and then he was hit again, and then again, the iron helmet supported his defense a lot, but I don't know why, the soldiers who rushed up around him never rushed to his side, he was beaten to the side of the female wall, and after being hit by the iron shield on his knees several times in a row, his legs seemed to be broken, he swung his knife to resist, and the iron hammer smashed on his head again, and in the blood-stained vision, the Jurchen soldiers on the left and right sides who wanted to rush were all cut to the ground.
"you—"
"Iron Tortoise—"
After a soldier with a shield knocked over the Jurchen vanguard trying to rescue, he picked up the hammer that the Ulitan had dropped on the ground, and the two iron hammers and one iron shield shrank at the Jurchen general who was shrinking on the inner side of the city wall, and it sounded like the sound of striking iron.
In fact, these are the most fierce veterans in the Huaxia army, they may not be wearing full-body iron armor, but the rules of fighting are fierce and skillful, and every time the Wulitan swings his sword resists, they dodge or smash it away. Less than a minute after he landed in the city, Uritan's shouting seemed to be echoing in everyone's ears, and he shrank back on the inside of the city wall, and the iron helmet on his head was smashed flat one by one, and his head was naturally shattered in the iron helmet.
The Jurchens led their way to the city by relying on the strongest elite soldiers to defeat the weak and stabilize their positions on the city wall for a moment to open a gap for the later army. But if the place where the city is landed is faced with the same elite, several people or a dozen people will enter the city one after another, and they will not be able to form a battle formation without any cooperation, but they will not even be able to stand.
After watching for a moment, the boulder flew over there, and two catapults had fallen one after another in this moment, followed by the disintegration of the third catapult, and he already had a realization in his heart.
The two sides had been fighting back and forth for two or three hours, and there were no more than five catapults on their side, and at the moment when the attack finally began, the catapults fell one after another - the other side was also waiting for their dilemma.
"Yu Xian." Bali quickly ordered a Han general, "Attack immediately!" ”
The order to charge sounded, and at this time, nearly a hundred people had been devoured on the section of the city wall attacked by the Ulitan, and the murderous spirit was soaring, and only then did someone pour fire oil and dung water from the city wall, and throw down the rolling wood and stones. Seeing that the blood was enough, they were not prepared to wait for the men to come up, and more bows and arrows began to be shot down from the city, and the ladders were smashed one after another, putting the attacking army below in a dilemma.
On the Jurchen position, the momentum of the charge has been launched, and at both ends of the head of Huangming County, the artillery array is also ready, and the regiment commander in charge of the artillery, Li Dong, has blazing eyes: "Get ready for me, the division commander has an order, the other side wants to come over, and if you want to escape, then give me a pot of stew——"
When the charging soldiers came like a tidal wave, the cannons on the city walls rang out, countless flowers bloomed in the charging crowd, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people fell into hell—
There was a moment of silence in the midst of the great noise.
The Jurchens' iron cannons could not reach the city, and he then ordered to fire all his might at the civilians on the battlefield.
