Chapter 419: Final Moment

Chapter 419: Final Moment (Part )
After nightfall, the Grand Commander of the Front Army, Jin Zheng, was sitting in the newly captured camp. Hearing the wounded soldiers screaming and groaning, he became upset and scolded, "It's just a few minor injuries, why are you screaming so hard?"

The wounded soldiers unconsciously lowered their voices.

First of all, Jin Zheng is a high-ranking official and they cannot afford to offend him.

Secondly, during the daytime charge, General Jin was wounded five times, but he killed the enemy without turning back. Such a fierce general certainly has the right to criticize others.

After Jin Zheng finished scolding people, he felt something was wrong, so he shouted: "Don't hide the injured and dead horses seized today. Stew them all and give them to the injured men."

Jin Zheng was the commander-in-chief of the front army. He gave the order and the cooks agreed to it, so everyone was happy.

Jin Zhengze climbed onto the high platform and listened to the roar that almost pierced the sky in the night.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

Countless soldiers rushed towards a camp in the south, roaring like surging waves.

After one attack was repelled, they would launch another one, persevering and charging hard. This is definitely their usual style.

Of course, this style of fighting also has a side effect, which is that there are too many casualties, but Jin Zheng didn't care at all. As he watched, his hands subconsciously grabbed the railing of the platform.

Under the bright moonlight, two groups of new recruits from the right camp of the Silver Spear Army clumsily attacked the camp wall, but because of a poor connection between the front and back, reinforcements did not arrive in time, causing the first wave of climbers to die on the spot.

"Your mother is a slave!" Jin Zheng was so angry that he punched the railing.

Those were all his men, but they ended up beating them into such a mess, with not only casualties but also an opportunity wasted.

In anger, a new wave of offensive gradually took shape.

This time, the men who came up were from Chen County, a total of one thousand men, and they were very powerful.

He rushed forward, yelling "Kill them", and soon reached the wall.

The long ladder was on fire, even igniting the corners of the soldiers' clothes. But in the fierce fighting on the battlefield, almost no one paid attention to this, everyone was risking their lives.

Not everyone is brave, but when you are on the battlefield, surrounded by comrades with flushed faces and shouting in excitement, you will be infected and become brave unconsciously without hesitation - it doesn't matter if you are not brave, the 13th and 14th Silver Spear Army following closely behind you are both backup and supervisory teams, and they will teach you to be brave.

"Kill them!" Zhang Heipi quickly climbed up to the top of the wall, swung his axe, and knocked down two or three people.

In the night sky, an arrow came from somewhere and hit Zhang Heipi's shoulder. He screamed and fell to the wall.

There were piles of corpses beneath him, which provided some cushion for him. The village wall was not very high, so he did not fall to death.

He struggled twice, but was sweating profusely from the pain and couldn't get up.

"Kill them!" Angry roars came one after another from the wall.

Zhang Heipi looked up and saw dark figures falling like raindrops.

A corpse fell on him, causing him to curse in pain, but he stopped halfway through.

He recognized this man, Ma Jiu from the Seventh Battalion of Chen County. They were both from Hebei and had had dealings together before.

Half of Ma Jiu's head was smashed, and there was a look of deep resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Heipi sighed, raised his hand, gently stroked Ma Jiu's eyes, and sighed: "Brother Ma Jiu, this is the way the world is. Mr. Chen gave us the land, so we have to work hard for it. You still have two children, they will grow up without illness or disaster, so go with peace of mind."

The competition on top of the wall was particularly fierce.

It seems that a general has arrived in the enemy army.

When he climbed up the wall earlier, Zhang Heipi took a glimpse from afar. Under the firelight, a large flag stood in the camp. He didn't recognize the first few characters, but the last one was "王", so it should be a general with the surname Wang.

There were even some well-armored Xiongnu soldiers on the wall. After a fierce fight, they pushed the Chenjun men down one by one.

In the air, corpses fell like rain.

On the ground, blood flowed like a river.

Zhang Heipi closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see such a cruel battle.

In April they sat together arguing whether it would be better to grow turnips to feed the livestock or go straight to winter wheat after the August harvest.

Before May's departure, they gathered again. Everyone's face turned pale, but they all tried to hold on, pretending to be nonchalant, chatting and laughing, thinking that fighting on the battlefield was nothing special.

Before crossing the river in August, the superiors gave out rewards. Everyone held up the linen and gestured, saying what kind of clothes they should make when they got home, preferably ones that would not be easily worn out when doing farm work.

After today's battle, I wonder how many of my fellow villagers and comrades are left.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heipi burst into tears. A man in his thirties, he cried like a child.

It is hard to repay Mr. Chen’s kindness.

He only hoped that he would fight for his life in this life, but his children and grandchildren would not fight again.

He inherited the family's land, farmed it with peace of mind, and then married the daughter of a neighboring family.

The two families live close to each other, so they can take care of each other and have a few more children to expand the Zhang family.

It really doesn't matter whether he lives or not.

Having already died once, he just wanted to fight as many battles as possible before he died.

"Kill them!" Hundreds of Silver Spear Soldiers rushed up with a thousand Xiangcheng men.

Zhang Heipi was like a bystander, watching these comrades who risked their lives to fight with compassion. Wave after wave, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe.

Use a high-intensity flesh grinder to grind away the enemy's flesh and blood, and also grind away your own life.

The battle became more intense.

Corpses kept falling, and one of them even pressed down the arrow shaft on Zhang Heipi's shoulder. The pain was so severe that he felt a black screen and fainted.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Heipi woke up slowly.

"Heipi is still alive!"

"Heipi is lucky. He is still alive!"

"Hurry, take it away."

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Zhang Heipi struggled to open his eyes and found that most of them were neighbors from the First Battalion of Chen County.

When you are away from home, everything is fake. Only your relatives and fellow villagers are the most reliable. At the critical moment, they are always the ones who save you.

"Lie down in this cart for a while. It smells a bit, just bear with it." Several people dug Zhang Heipi out from the pile of corpses and carried him onto a carriage.

The carriage was filled with corpses that had been lying there for a long time, both enemies and friends, with different expressions on their faces.

"Have we taken the village?" Zhang Heipi asked weakly.

"We have taken it." The young man pulling the cart replied, "In the middle of the night, Governor Jin received an order and led his men to charge from the north. They broke in immediately and captured a Xiongnu general."

"They are good at taking advantage of others." Zhang Heipi said with a wry smile.

He knew that there were two camps, north and south, to the westernmost part of the enemy camp. The northern camp was breached during the day yesterday, and the southern camp was breached at night. If they did not attack these camps, there would always be threats on the flanks, and they would not be able to successfully attack the enemy's central camp.

Suddenly, Zhang Heipi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Heidou, you are only fourteen years old, right? Why are you fighting in the battlefield?"

"I'm the only male in the family, and I don't know who reported my name." Hei Dou touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Looking at the shy smile on the boy's face, Zhang Heipi suddenly became extremely angry.

Dog day!
During their escape, Hei Dou's parents were reluctant to hand him over to others to eat. They would rather starve to death than not let him die.

Who the hell put his name up? We only drew 1,000 dings, and he was the one that got drawn.

"Did you attack the village last night?" Zhang Heipi asked again.

"I was attacked." Speaking of this, Hei Dou was still a little scared: "I was so scared that my legs became weak. I couldn't move after charging for a while, and someone stepped on me a few times. An officer from the Silver Spear Army wanted to kill me, but when he saw how small I was, he kicked me to the back."

"Oh." Zhang Heipi sighed.

If he was unlucky, Hei Dou would have been slaughtered by the supervision team last night.

He thought again of Ma Jiu, whose half head was smashed off, and unspeakable emotions surged in his heart.

He missed home, his wife and children.

He wanted to sit in the sunset and look at the golden wheat fields.

The children took the cakes and ate them while playing.

His wife told him excitedly that the ewe at home had given birth again.

He hoped that his parents who died during the escape could come back to life and eat the fruits picked from the trees with a smile on their faces.

"Bang!" He raised his intact right hand and pounded the wall of the car hard.

The world was originally peaceful, who brought chaos upon it?

Kill them!
Just like he did last night when he rushed towards the enemy camp roaring, killing them!
Hei Dou heard the noise, turned around and looked at him, but when he saw Zhang Heipi's red eyes, he was so scared that he avoided him.

The two stopped talking.

The carriage turned a corner and came to a pit.

Two more men from Chen County came over. They first moved Zhang Heipi to the grass, then carried out the bodies in the carriage one by one and threw them into the pit.

Not far away, there were the sounds of passionate drums and the roars of soldiers before fighting.

Several people kept moving, numbly throwing the bodies into the pit without even looking over there.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard nearby.

A cavalry unit retreated from the front line, almost everyone was covered in blood and wounded, and some even had several arrows stuck in their bodies.

Zhang Heipi used to think they were very heroic, but now he was wondering, which unlucky guys who attacked the village were rushed by the Hun cavalry?

Over there - that should be the location of the Huns’ central camp, right?
It never stops!

In one day and one night, two Hun camps were breached, and the number of casualties, captures, and escapes was probably no less than ten thousand.

They should be at the last moment.

Please end it soon, and stop the death. Too many people have died in this war.
