Jiangling Campaign (2)

  At this time, Han Xue's mind was full of doubts... Where did these enemy troops come from, and what was the purpose of attacking Jiangling? What worried Han Xue most was Liu Hu himself.

  As he thought of this, a faint gloom gathered between Han Xue's eyebrows.

  Taking big strides out of the Taishou mansion, Han Xue took a glance around and saw that all the officers and soldiers who were guarding the nearby military camp had already gathered. Seeing the many officers and soldiers looking spirited and robust, Han Xue's unease slightly subsided.

  "Reporting to the general, five thousand troops have assembled."

  "Understood." Han Xue nodded slightly, then drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy is invading our Jiangling, looking down on us as if we were nothing. Is this something that can be tolerated or not? I swear to defend Jiangling with my life..."

  "Shall we annihilate those arrogant scoundrels at the city gate? Officers and soldiers, will you follow me or not?"

  "Kill, kill, kill..."

  "Kill, kill, kill..."

  "Kill, kill, kill..."

  Han Xue's words stirred up the emotions of these Jiangling warriors, and suddenly a spark was lit in their hearts. For a moment, their voices thundered like nine days of continuous thunderclaps, shaking the peaceful land of Jiangling.

  Han Xie saw the enthusiastic faces of the many generals, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. The morale of the army can be used, if not now, when will it be? With a wave of his hand, the 5,000 soldiers rushed towards the city gate like a flood, with momentum like thunder!

  On the city wall, Ma Da stood quietly, gazing into the night towards the city gate, his eyes fixed on Sun Dada leading the army to charge and kill left and right, a flash of light passing through his eyes.

  "One day, he will surely lead the army of bears and tigers to dominate the world." A hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

  "Sir, it seems that's not right." A black-clad guard, Shi, took a few steps forward, furrowing his brow and speaking in a low voice.

  "Huh?" Ma Da came back to his senses, heard Si Yi's words, and slightly furrowed his brow, gazing intently... At this time, Sun Da led the army to charge within a few hundred steps of the city gate. Taking advantage of the enemy camp not yet understanding the situation, Sun Da suddenly killed them off guard, then with one drumbeat, the military momentum directly pointed at the central camp... and wiped out one regiment.

  This is entirely possible, but unexpectedly, when Sun Da led his army to attack the withered and rotten enemy, he encountered stubborn resistance from the central army... Ma Da frowned slightly as he watched Sun Da charge several times without making any progress, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

  "It's impossible to establish such a defense in such a short time, could it be..."

  "Master... Master, has the news leaked out?"

  Ma Da furrowed his brow and coldly snorted, then in a low, angry voice shouted: "It must have been that Sun Si who occupied the city gate at that time, allowing someone to escape by luck, which led to this disaster."

  "Sun Da, Sun Si these two brothers are simply two fools, no wonder they're a pair of idiots from the same womb..." Ma Da's eagle eyes gleamed with sharp light: "A guy who can't even accomplish anything but only causes trouble..."

  As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the county government office and hummed in a low voice: "If we wait for Han Xue and Fu Xun to come back to their senses, this action will be considered a failure..."

  Sai Wenyi was silent and did not speak, what is the most important thing about a surprise attack? It's to catch them off guard and attack when they are unprepared... With one drumbeat, we will destroy them. And at this time, the situation must have already alarmed the Jiangling garrison.

  This came, and the surprise attack was ineffective, turning into a melee between the two armies.

  Ma Da lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then his eyes fixed firmly, and he said in a low voice: "Si Yi, you quickly go to Sun Da's place, order Sun Da to send 1,000 men to this lord, and dispatch 3,000 men to block the main road, preventing Han Xue from joining forces with the enemy army inside the camp. The remaining soldiers will continue to launch a fierce attack on that large camp, and we must capture it within an hour."

  "Yes." Ji Yi responded with a single word and immediately darted off in the direction of Sun Da.

  Outside the Jiangling Army's main camp.

  Sun's face was gloomy, and he repeatedly shouted angrily, scolding and directing the army to charge forward like a tidal wave. However, what made Sun extremely angry was that this camp in front of him was like a small boat on the ocean, which seemed about to capsize but ultimately managed to turn danger into safety.

  Sun Da led the charge with his twin hammers, but what greeted him was a hail of arrows... The icy killing intent of the arrows filled the sky, and even Sun Da felt a chill run down his spine as he hastily retreated.

  Sun panted heavily, his bright red eyes staring fiercely at the low-ranking general who was shouting loudly inside the camp... The main camp stationed three thousand troops here. After Iron Egg saw Sun Si kill Wang Xiao San, he slipped away one step ahead of time to inform the deputy general who stayed behind in the camp... That deputy general, half believing and half doubting, secretly ordered the central army to set up layers of traps and defenses, which also provided them with the last guarantee of life.

  Even so, the solid camp was also precarious, broken and dilapidated, with splinters flying everywhere... Corpses littered the fields, warm blood spilled all over the ground... In the darkness of night, the flickering flames inside and outside the camp seemed eerie.

  In about half a moment, Sun Da wanted to lead the army forward again. At this time, Si Yi rushed over and said to Sun Da in a flurry: "General Sun, my young master said that such a clumsy charge won't do..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Sun Da started scolding him: "You damn well better not speak nonsense, if you have something to say then say it, if you have gas then fart."

  "...You..." Si's face turned red with rage, but recalling Ma Da's orders, he could only suppress his anger for the time being. His voice was low and gloomy: "My young master said that if things go on like this, before we even breach the enemy camp, Han Xue will have already led a large army to attack us. My young master said to dispatch 5,000 troops to block Han Xue's advance on the main road, and then send another 1,000 soldiers to guard the city gate, while launching a fierce attack on the enemy camp..."

  "Huh?" Sun Da was slightly startled, his eyes gazed hatefully at the enemy camp for a moment before he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Fourth brother, you lead the main army to continue attacking the big camp, I'll go block Han Xue."

  "Big brother, why don't I go stop Han Xie?" said the weak and timid fourth brother beside him.

  "Can you stop Han Xie?" Sun Da glanced at his younger brother and said in a slightly choked voice, "I'll go, just remember, if you don't want me to die, hurry up and break through here."

  "Yes, big brother." Old Fourth turned his head and roared: "Brothers, charge for me!"

  Then Sun Si immediately rushed up like a cheetah, with countless people behind him, their eyes red and mouths shouting as they charged forward. The originally shaky military camp became even more precarious.

  In the military camp, Tie Dan stood in the front row, covered in wounds, staring fiercely at the approaching enemy. He glanced back at the lightly and heavily wounded soldiers groaning behind him, his heart feeling gloomy. His gaze shifted to the county government office, his eyes filled with anxiety and hope.

  On the main road leading to the city gate...

  Wearing fish-scale armor, Han Xie's eyes were gloomy as he stared at the ferocious-looking Sun Da. His eyebrows slightly furrowed, and in a deep voice, he asked: "Who are you, to dare attack my Jiangling?"

  "Haha...... I am Sun Da, the General of the North who guards the north under the command of General Zhang Wu, the Great General of the Western Garrison." Sun Da said with a mad and crazy expression, his hands holding the twin hammers crashing to the ground, the bluestone slabs on the ground suddenly shattered into pieces.

  "If you want to pass through this place, you still have to ask if the hammer in Laozi's hand agrees or not."

  "Zhang Wu? This Sun Da is Zhang Wu's subordinate... Could it be......" Han Xue's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shook his head secretly. In an instant, he had turned over dozens of thoughts in his mind. Then his eyes fixed, his expression solemn, and a cold smile spread from the corner of his mouth.

  "There is a certain Han Xue here, you'd better not get too arrogant." Han Xue's eyes were icy cold, and he said in a chilly tone: "Pass down the order..."

  "Zhongying generals and soldiers formed a phalanx formation and charged towards the enemy army."

  "The left camp's three squads of soldiers, the right camp's three squads of soldiers, jointly press forward, harassing the enemy's two flanks." Han Xue's eyes gleamed sharply, his tone icy as he said: "The rest, listen for my command to mobilize at any time..."

  "The archer steps forward."

  As soon as Han Xie's words fell, there were urgent drumbeats and torches flashing on the side, and immediately large batches of Jiangling soldiers moved in response to the sound.

  Sun Dali's eyes saw Han Xue commanding the army to come fiercely, with a shocking momentum. His eyes slightly narrowed, and he coldly snorted, raising his twin hammers as flames lit up the sky. He coldly laughed: "Underestimating one's own strength, brothers, charge for me."

  "Kill..."

  In an instant, the two armies clashed fiercely, with severed limbs and legs, blood splashing everywhere, brains bursting open, and warm blood pouring down on Sun Da. Sun Da stuck out his tongue and licked the crimson blood, his eyes growing even more crimson. The air was filled with a bloody aura, which further stirred up the acceleration of blood in Sun Da's body. A thrill arose from Sun Da's heart.

  "Come and die." Sun Dahu's eyes suddenly opened wide, the large hammer in his hand thundered out, as if he was trapped in madness.

  One, two, three...

  Sun Da's every hammer strike seemed to have the force of a thousand pounds, and the hammer brought with it a "whooshing" sound. Every time Jiangling's soldiers clashed with him, not one of them failed to spit blood and die in the end.

  Han Xie saw Sun Da's bravery, then looked at his own soldiers' chests, which were clearly dead. His eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he turned to the side and ordered Li Lihan: "Go, surround Sun Da for me, no matter what the cost, I want him beheaded..."

  "General, you're safe..."

  "Hurry up..."

  "Ah!" Li Li saw his colleagues die one by one under Sun Da's hands, and he was also extremely angry. He suddenly let out a loud roar and led hundreds of guards to charge at Sun Da like wolves and tigers.

  Han Xie made a move against Li Li with great hope, Li Li was a man of great bravery and strength, especially his knife skills were extremely fast. Li Li took advantage of Sun Da's chaotic killing spree, his back door was wide open, the corner of his mouth curled up with an arc, his eyes burst out with intense killing intent.

  A flash of light burst out, like a streak of lightning flashing and passing by.

  "Almost, almost,……” Li Li saw Sun Da still swinging his giant hammer, seemingly unaware that half of his foot had already stepped into the underworld. Li Li's heart was filled with wild joy, his heart leaping to his throat, but in the next moment, a surge of killing intent suddenly enveloped him, and Li Li felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up to see Sun Da coldly smiling at him, a hint of disdain flashing across his eyes, and a cruel smile spreading across his face.

  Bang!

  A loud metallic clang suddenly rang out.

  A flash of sword light, Li Li's eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen an unbelievable scene. A faint cracking sound echoed, but it was not the Nine Heavens Thunderclap.

  "Die then." Sun Dashan smiled and walked away.

  Suddenly, Li Li only saw a hammer shadow hitting his chest, and a boundless force surged into his body from the outside... Suddenly, Li Li raised his head abruptly, and a mouthful of blood gushed out like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.

  In a mist of blood, Li Li suddenly left the ground and fell three zhang away. A moment later, Li Li trembled and seemed to want to struggle to get up, but failed. Li Li's dim eyes looked at Sun Da, his voice very weak: "You... how did you know I..."

  "Your martial arts skills are not bad, but you don't know how to conceal your killing intent... You haven't been on the battlefield before, have you? And your knife... is too slow." Sun Dalu let out a cold hum and said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "That Liu Hu is much stronger than you."

  "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Li Li muttered to himself, with a large amount of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, mixed with bits of internal organs... After that, Li Li only felt a huge surge in his five viscera and six bowels, as if they were about to tear apart. In an instant, darkness swallowed up Li Li's consciousness, and his distorted face finally fell limply down.

  In the military formation, Han Xue's eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing a sorrowful and regretful expression. Seeing his brother, who had followed him for many years, die miserably under Sun Da Chui's hands, he was filled with great hatred and angrily shouted: "Soldiers, if the enemy does not die, we will perish."

  "Behind us are our parents and relatives, as well as our comrades-in-arms. We must fight to the death to protect them."

  "Give me kill, kill...kill..."

  Han Xie was also blinded by anger at this time, his eyes were extremely red, he suddenly took a gun, raised it high, and shot out like a violent rainstorm, straight into the enemy's formation.

  "Fight for Jiangling, fight for the shackles of the heart."

  At this time, the words of Han Xue's angry roar were echoing in the minds of the Jiangling soldiers, thinking that behind them were their wives and parents... The Jiangling soldiers only felt a surge of blood energy, and between the swings of their knives and guns, they were extremely ruthless.

  For a time, the cries of killing shook the sky, and the two armies crashed into each other. What formation, what order, all disappeared in this bloody mess. The two armies were left with only one phrase: "Either the enemy dies or I perish..."

  The battlefield was filled with the stench of blood and the sound of wailing, mournful and sorrowful cries enveloping Jiangling, which had long been accustomed to peace.

  In an instant, the Jiangling battlefield was in a state of utmost chaos.
