This is a world of martial arts. Ordinary soldiers are basically martial artists at the Martial Apprentice realm. Many Hun soldiers are stronger than him.
One should pick on the weak. Sheng Huai'an began to play dirty tricks.
Seeing others engaged in battle and unable to be distracted, Sheng Huai'an thrust his knife into the left waist of a Hun soldier from behind.
"You?!"
That Hun soldier turned around to look at Sheng Huai'an, with blood flowing from his mouth.
Damn it! What a sneaky bastard!
With one strike through the kidneys, this Hun soldier died in a rather aggrieved manner.
He could never have imagined that one day he would be stabbed to death in the kidneys.
The friendly soldier on the opposite side saw how neatly Sheng Huai'an stabbed the Hun soldier in the kidneys and couldn't help but feel a chill in his own waist.
Sheng Huai'an gave him a smile, having no extra time to greet him. He then continued to look for the next victim.
No, it's the next target!
Looking at Sheng Huai'an's innocent smile, he couldn't help but shiver and decided in his heart to keep a distance from this person.
Sheng Huai'an saw a Hun soldier who had just climbed onto the city wall and was just showing his head.
He took a step forward, and his knife was as swift as the wind. Before the Hun soldier could draw his knife, he was slashed to death by Sheng Huai'an and fell off the city wall.
A Hun soldier, seeing Sheng Huai'an guarding the crenel of the city wall, raised his knife and slashed at Sheng Huai'an.
The Hun soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall were mainly to protect the crenels, allowing more Hun soldiers to climb onto the city wall and take control of it.
Then they would charge down, open the city gate, and let the large army enter the pass.
Seeing the enemy attacking, Sheng Huai'an raised his knife and slashed without any technique or skill, relying completely on brute force.
This Hun enemy was only at the early stage of the Martial Apprentice realm and was soon beaten back by Sheng Huai'an step by step. Sheng Huai'an seized the opportunity and slashed the other to death with one strike.
Just then, two more Hun enemies climbed up at that crenel. Seeing that Sheng Huai'an had killed their comrades, they joined forces and charged at Sheng Huai'an, with fierce looks in their eyes.
After killing several enemies in succession, Sheng Huai'an was boiling with excitement and his confidence was bursting. Naturally, he wasn't afraid and faced the two of them alone.
Soon, Sheng Huai'an felt a bit strained. Having no knowledge of swordsmanship, no skills in martial arts, and not much combat experience, he was relying solely on brute force and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
After slashing an enemy to death, Wang Wu's knife was still dripping with blood. Seeing that Sheng Huai'an was being surrounded and at a disadvantage.
"Brother Huai'an, hold on! I'll come to help you."
Wang Wu quickly stepped forward to fight an enemy and share the pressure for Sheng Huai'an.
With Wang Wu coming to help relieve the situation, Sheng Huai'an's pressure was instantly greatly reduced.
"Damn it! Are you bullying me for not knowing swordsmanship and having no experience?" Sheng Huai'an seized the opportunity and slashed fiercely at the other.
Now facing only one enemy, Sheng Huai'an launched a fierce attack. After ten rounds, he slashed the Hun enemy to death with one strike.
Wang Wu had already killed his opponent long ago and was now engaged in a fierce battle with new Hun enemies.
Wang Wu's swordsmanship and body movements were both very sharp, completely unlike Sheng Huai'an who only knew how to use brute force.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Huai'an decided that after repelling the enemies, he would go to the veteran to ask for swordsmanship, body movement skills, boxing skills and other martial arts.
Otherwise, with only realm and strength, when facing enemies who were on the same level as him or stronger than him, he would be a bit helpless.
"Kill!!"
On the city wall, the shouts of killing were deafening. Swords and knives were flashing everywhere. The Hun enemies were still climbing onto the city wall regardless of the cost.
Facing an increasing number of Hun enemies, the defenders also began to continuously send reinforcements to block the Hun enemies.
Sheng Huai'an had learned his lesson. It was still safer to stab people in the kidneys.
Seeing the Hun enemies fighting against the friendly soldiers, he seized the opportunity and struck with his knife, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, directly piercing through the kidneys.
Soon, more than a dozen Hun enemies had died from being stabbed in the kidneys.
"Swish!!"
With one stab, Sheng Huai'an killed a Hun enemy. He skillfully pulled the knife out of the enemy's waist.
"Thanks, brother. But your way of killing people with the knife is quite... unique." Looking at the opponent being stabbed to death by Sheng Huai'an, Zuo Gu thanked him but looked at Sheng Huai'an with a rather strange look in his eyes.
How could someone specifically target others' kidneys? Could it be that he had some special fetish?
"Don't mention it. We're all comrades. Let's kill the enemies and serve the country together." Sheng Huai'an grinned, showing his big white teeth.
After saying that, Sheng Huai'an didn't continue the conversation with Zuo Gu. Now was the time to hunt down Hun enemies and obtain killing values.
Looking at Sheng Huai'an going to target the kidneys of Hun enemies again, Zuo Gu couldn't help but shiver and silently mourned for the Hun enemies in his heart.
Sheng Huai'an wandered around the battlefield like this, seizing every opportunity to stab one.
Seeing Zhang Daniu engaged in a fierce battle with a Hun enemy, beating the enemy back step by step and having no time to spare, Sheng Huai'an picked up his knife and waited for the right moment.
With a raise of his hand and a fall of the knife, it stabbed into the other's waist.
The Hun enemy looked at the knife stuck in his waist and then at Sheng Huai'an, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes.
"You despicable villain! You're sneaking up on me! You have no sense of martial ethics..."
Sheng Huai'an apologized. On the battlefield, the purpose was to kill the other side. Who cares if it's a sneak attack?
He pulled the knife out, almost bringing out the other's kidney as well.
Zhang Daniu's mouth twitched as he watched. Sheng Huai'an, who looked so handsome and refined, had such a twisted heart, specifically targeting others' kidneys.
"Brother Huai'an, the battlefield is dangerous. You should be careful." Zhang Daniu reminded him.
Stabbing others' kidneys like this was really going to make people hate him.
"Hehe, thanks for the reminder, Brother Daniu. I know." Sheng Huai'an gave a simple smile.
"..."
Zhang Daniu looked at Sheng Huai'an's smile and really wanted to say, Brother Huai'an, you'd better stop smiling. It's creepy.
After having an encounter with Zhang Daniu, Sheng Huai'an started his "big business" of stabbing kidneys again.
This chaotic melee made it easy for him to pick up the slack. He had to kill more enemies, accumulate killing values, and then improve himself.
The battle lasted until dusk. The Hun enemies who had climbed onto the city wall were all killed by the defenders on the city wall. The Hun army failed to take control of the city wall.
Seeing that they couldn't take the city wall, the Hun army had to sound the retreat.
Looking at the Hun army retreating like a tide, Sheng Huai'an looked at the knife in his hand. It had already been nicked.
On and under the city wall, bodies were piled up, including those of Hun enemies and defenders.
At this moment, the Huns sent out small groups of troops to collect the bodies of their soldiers.
Both sides entered a tacit truce to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
"Whoosh~"
The north wind was howling, and the flags on the city wall were fluttering.
The fiery red sun was shining on the earth, painting it with a touch of red.
Looking at the retreating Hun army, the defenders didn't cheer or show any joy. Instead, their faces were full of solemnity.
Sheng Huai'an looked at the setting sun and then at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, moving the bodies one by one.
The bodies of Hun soldiers were simply carried and thrown outside the city wall. They didn't have such a kind heart to collect the bodies of Hun soldiers.
Throwing them outside the city wall, there would naturally be Huns to come and collect the bodies.
The blood had dyed the floor tiles on the city wall red. Under the setting sun, it gave an indescribable feeling.
"The setting sun is like blood and the moon is like a hook. How many loyal souls are buried in the late autumn!"
"Don't be such a pretentious scholar. Let's go. Fall in!" The veteran shouted at Sheng Huai'an.
Sheng Huai'an put away his sentimentality and followed the veteran and the others, leaving the city wall. Now it was time for a shift change, and soldiers from other battalions came to defend the city wall.
On the way back to the military camp, Sheng Huai'an saw that of the ten people led by the veteran, four were missing.
This meant that in the afternoon's battle, four comrades from their team had died.
On the way back, everyone was silent.
The battlefield is like a meat grinder, constantly grinding lives to pieces.
They didn't know when they themselves would fall.
