Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 136 Only what you believe in can make others believe in it
No one can feel the passage of time during the fighting. Most of what can be felt on the battlefield are warm blood and pungent smoke.
This was the situation at Huaiyang Pass at that time. When the Jin soldiers finally climbed to the top of the city wall, the two armies finally collided with each other.
I didn't know what was burning, the thick black smoke obscured people's eyes, and in the smoke there was the gleam of knives and the sound of metal clashing.
No one thought about where the sword came from or who swung it. All the people involved could do was to kill the person who wanted to kill them.
People at this time are like wild beasts, or it can be said that there is no difference at all. Whoever is more brutal and barbaric will survive.
Because in this most direct fight, there is no strategy or wisdom involved, only instinct.
On the top of the city wall, the female general in red feathers and silver armor was in the most intense fighting. The Jin army surged like a tide, but she always stood there, like a reef, tearing a hole in the oncoming waves. Wherever the spear in her hand passed, blood flew everywhere, and the broken blade flew across. Blood splashed on her hands, face, and armor, but she seemed to be unaware of it and continued to fight.
Another group of Jin soldiers climbed onto the top of the city wall, and she raised the spear in her hand again.
The surging internal energy rolled up her robe, and the red feather on her head was pulled tightly in the bleak cold wind. She raised her eyes, and her picturesque eyebrows now reflected a forest of swords.
"Ah!" She growled and thrust out with the spear in her hand.
When the spear moved, it was like a dragon emerging from the sea, bringing up a gust of wind. When the spear fell, it was like a flash of light passing through a gap, directly piercing through the chests of the three Jin soldiers, leaving a trail of blood.
The sticky blood flowed down the spear into the female general's hand, but she just pulled out the spear with a cold face, then swept away the bodies of three Jin men and continued to kill the Jin army in front of her.
The shouts and cries of killing resounded throughout the Huaiyang Pass. No one could remember how long the fighting lasted that day. All they knew was that by the time the Jin army retreated, it was almost dusk.
The sky was filled with golden clouds, but beneath the clouds, corpses were floating everywhere.
The top of the Huaiyang Pass was covered with undried bloodstains. Su Hongluo stood by the wall. The silver armor on his body had long been stained red, and one of .
An arrow hit her shoulder, and she broke the arrow shaft off, leaving only the arrowhead in her flesh.
She stood there quietly until she saw the Jin army retreat completely, then she let out a breath.
On both sides, some soldiers of Tian Ce Mansion were sitting on the ground, some were standing stupidly, and some were holding their spears, but all of them were panting heavily with fatigue.
At this time, a soldier sitting on the ground raised his head.
He looked at Su Hongluo, hesitated for a moment, and asked with a gloomy expression.
"General, can we win this battle?"
Su Hongluo looked down at him, then raised her eyes and looked in the direction where the Jin army left, and said lightly.
"We can win."
There were no grand speeches or impassioned speeches, she just said these two words.
But she said these two words without hesitation, without any hesitation, as if she had never doubted it.
The soldiers around were all silent for a while, and then suddenly one of the soldiers smiled, leaned his head on the city wall, looked at the golden clouds in the sky and said.
"General, I believe you."
Then, people on the city wall started laughing in groups of three or four.
They laughed without much energy, but they all laughed happily.
On the other side of the city wall, Su Changwu came over holding his blood-stained sword. Hearing the voices and laughter from the city, he stood for a while and also grinned.
He knew that his little sister was just like that, she could always easily make others believe things that were originally hard to believe.
Or maybe she was just so overconfident that others couldn't help but want to believe her.
…
In the Jin army camp, the commander of the Jin army, Abuham, stood on a high platform, with his hands behind his back, looking at the Huaiyang Pass in the distance, and slightly narrowed his eyes.
The Tang people's ability to hold their ground was indeed far beyond his imagination, but it was obvious that the Tang army had begun to get tired.
Being attacked from all sides, having depleted food and grass, and having fought for days, these conditions combined made it impossible for the Tang army to hold out.
After three more attacks at most, Abuham will have absolute confidence in breaking through Huaiyang Pass. By then, there will be no more obstacles on the road to the south, and it will be just around the corner to attack the Tang court.
Three times, and attack three more times at most.
After muttering something in his mind, Abuham turned around and walked down the platform.
But in fact, he was not going to let the Tang army hold out for the third time, because he didn't want to wait that long.
His plan was to directly attack Huaiyang Pass next time. If nothing else, the Tang army was on the verge of defeat.
Abuhamo had heard a Tang Dynasty saying: "The first push is the best, the second will weaken, and the third will be the end."
He felt that this sentence still made sense, so he was prepared to do so.
But what Abuham did not expect was that an unexpected group of people had gathered outside Huaiyang Pass at this time.
…
In fact, as early as half a month ago, some people from the martial arts world had already arrived near Huaiyang Pass.
These included famous martial arts families headed by Wudang, the Green Forest Organization headed by Xueyi Tower, and of course, many independent martial artists who came alone.
Most of them have gathered together, but none of them are in a hurry to take action. They are just observing the situation secretly, waiting for an opportunity to act.
What kind of opportunity?
An opportunity to defeat the Jin people in one fell swoop.
The people of Jianghu are not fools. They all understand that if only one or two sects join the war, it will not change the situation. Instead, it will let the Jin people know that Tiance Mansion has received help from Jianghu, so they will be wary and dare not attack easily.
If the Jin army delays time and runs out of food and grass, even if subsequent gangsters arrive, the battle situation will become quite troublesome.
So someone came up with an idea. It would be better to wait outside Huaiyang Pass until most of the people in the martial arts world arrived, and then attack together when the Jin army launched a general attack to defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop.
This idea was recognized by most people, so the first people to arrive waited in a forest outside Huaiyang Pass.
As for the spies from Changle Gate, they had already been dealt with by Fengyu Tower.
From a professional perspective, the scoundrels in Changle Gate are no match for the professional intelligence spies in Fengyu Tower.
Ten days later, the sound of war drums was heard again outside Huaiyang Pass.
This time, the Jin people came with the intention of breaking through the Huaiyang Pass.
At the end of the 13th year of Jiande, Abuhan mobilized troops and the Jin army to attack the city.
