Of the four major military achievements in the Cold War era—first to scale the enemy lines, break through enemy lines, slay enemy generals, and capture enemy flags—the most difficult is the first to scale the enemy lines. Those who achieve this feat are truly blessed with good fortune!
The wicked man was incredibly fast. In the short time it took the rebels to draw their bows, he had already rushed to the foot of the city wall and stood firmly against it.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the third wave of arrows was fired, the wicked man climbed the ladder, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly leaped up a meter high. Then, he gripped the ladder tightly with both hands and continued to jump upwards.
The seven- or eight-meter-high city wall came into view in just a few breaths. The wicked man took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and slight trembling.
"kill--!"
The wicked man leaped onto the city wall in an instant. His ghostly appearance startled the rebel army. Before they could react, the sharp Qin sword in his hand had already been swung out.
"puff..."
The splashes of blood on the wicked husband's face fueled his boundless ruthlessness, and he leaped into the crowd to strike first.
In the distance, Meng Ao and his generals, aided by the bright moonlight, vaguely saw a soldier climbing onto the city wall. They immediately clapped and laughed, "Well done! Truly a brave warrior of our Great Qin!"
"Whose subordinate is this? If he can hold his ground on the city wall, he will be credited with the greatest achievement!"
But no one could answer his question. The moonlight was bright, but with such a distance and no one with superhuman vision, who could see the man's face clearly?
Just then, cheers and applause erupted from the Qin soldiers who were charging forward.
"That wicked platoon leader has scaled the city walls! Brothers, charge!!"
When Erniu, who was not stupid, saw the wicked man climb the city wall, he immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs to build momentum for him, and the other ten people beside him also hurriedly joined in the shouting.
Meng Kuo, being of high status, naturally wouldn't take any risks. He was at the very back of the group when he heard that the wicked man had climbed the city wall, and he burst into laughter.
"You wicked husband, how mighty you are!"
"You wicked husband, how mighty you are!"
Of the 50,000 men, more than 30,000 were new recruits. Upon hearing that the wicked man had already climbed the city wall, they immediately started shouting and yelling along. Even their fear was somewhat alleviated, and they quickened their pace and ran towards the city wall.
Morale surged at that moment!
"Wicked husband?" Meng Ao and Meng Wu, who were at the rear, could clearly hear the overwhelming shouts from the soldiers on the battlefield.
Meng Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Could this person... be the young man that Meng Kuo mentioned earlier?"
Meng Ao's thoughts were churning. He remembered that his grandson had indeed mentioned to him before that he had discovered a soldier with superhuman strength, who was only twelve or thirteen years old but had the ability to tear apart tigers and leopards.
Unfortunately, he was busy figuring out how to quickly quell the rebellion in Jinyang at the time, and didn't take these words to heart at all.
"If it really is that young man, our grandson has truly found a treasure!" Meng Ao stroked his beard and laughed. In Qin Lu's case, if he wanted to climb to a high position in the future, he would need to have fierce generals under his command.
Meng Wu smiled as well. Now that his father was getting old, the younger generation had to work hard to climb the social ladder to ensure the Meng family's status.
The scene returns to the walls of Jinyang.
The wicked man, covered in blood, looked like a vengeful ghost returned from the depths of hell. He wielded his Qin sword and slashed repeatedly, managing to stand firm on the city wall thanks to his strong physique, like a nail driven firmly into the wall.
"puff..."
Ultimately, two fists cannot fight four hands. Taking advantage of the wicked husband's unpreparedness, several traitorous soldiers behind him plunged their spears into his body.
Before they could even rejoice, the wicked Qin Jian beheaded the three traitors with a backhand. Blood gushed out from the cuts like a fountain, and drops of blood fell like rain.
"That really hurts..."
The wicked man grimaced in pain, but thanks to the protection of his leather armor and his rapidly improving physique each year, the three spears were stuck in his muscles and could not penetrate any further, causing little damage.
This horrifying scene made the traitorous soldier tremble with fear, wishing he could turn around and flee from his wicked husband!
The arrival of the wicked man attracted the attention of most of the rebel soldiers on the city wall, causing the previously orderly defense to fall into complete chaos. The Qin soldiers took the opportunity to erect several more siege ladders.
"Brothers, hurry up and support Brother Evil!"
Erniu roared angrily, his heart filled with impatience. Everyone knew that being the first to scale the cliff was a great and primary achievement, but it was also a matter of life and death.
"kill--!"
The ten boys climbed to the top of the city wall as fast as they could. When they saw the wicked man surrounded by traitors like a blood-soaked figure, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they forgot their fear and rushed into the crowd.
Erniu was the most robust and was the first to charge into the crowd. Like a raging bull, he smashed aside the rebel soldiers blocking his way, while the nine men behind him took the opportunity to kill the staggering rebel soldiers.
"Squad leader, we're here!"
When they were two or three meters apart, Erniu shouted to warn the wicked man, lest he be mistaken for a traitor and killed.
Upon hearing this, the wicked man glanced at the people behind Erniu and the others out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Qin soldiers were already climbing the city wall one after another. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was incredibly difficult for him to be the first to ascend the mountain. His body had been strengthened four times in the past four years, and his strength alone had increased by an extra 1,200 jin. Even so, he was still slashed and injured all over, and his leather armor was tattered. You can imagine how difficult it was.
"You wicked sergeant, you're mighty!"
The Qin soldiers who climbed the city wall all felt admiration for the wicked man, and in their surging passion, they managed to suppress their fear.
The wicked man kicked the traitor in front of him away and roared, "Brothers, form ranks and follow me to kill the traitors!"
"kill--!"
The Qin army's morale was high, and they immediately formed ranks and charged towards the rebel soldiers. The battle on the city wall suddenly became fierce, with the two sides fighting back and forth in a lively manner.
The wicked man, like a god of war, showed no signs of fatigue, wielding his Qin sword and slaying one rebel soldier after another.
