Chapter 587 Crazy Counterattack, the Fury of the Defender
Black Wind City, city tower.
The defending general, Wang Hu, a burly, eight-foot-tall man with a face full of flesh, stood at the lookout, his face sullen as he watched the battle unfold below. He was clad in heavy iron armor, a massive ghost-head sword dangling from his waist, and he exuded a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.
The Great Zhou army's offensive was incredibly fierce, like a raging wave, crashing against Black Wind City's defenses in wave after wave. Although the soldiers on the city walls fought hard, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, Wang Hu's heart grew increasingly heavy. This was especially true of the city gates. After dozens of battering rams' fierce blows, the gates had already developed noticeable cracks, emitting a tooth-grinding creaking sound, as if they would collapse at any moment.
"Useless! All useless!" Wang Hu slammed his fist into the nearby arrow embankment, creating a shallow dent in the solid stone. "You can't even hold the city gate! Take another step back, and I'll chop off your heads!"
The deputy general next to him was silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, a personal soldier rushed up, his face pale and his voice trembling: "General! General! Northeast corner! Something happened in the northeast corner! A small group of enemy soldiers... It seems... It's women! They rushed to the top of the city!"
"What?!" Wang Hu turned around abruptly, his eyes as wide as copper bells as he stared at the guard. "Say it again? A woman? Rushing to the top of the city wall?!"
"Yes... yes, General! There are not many of them, but they are extremely fierce. They have already torn open a gap and are expanding to both sides! Brothers... brothers can't hold on any longer!" The personal soldier reported with a sad face.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! Trash!" Wang Hu was so angry that he was shaking all over and cursing. "You can't even stop a bunch of women! You've brought shame upon Black Wind City!"
He suddenly drew the ghost-head knife from his waist, the blade flashing with a bloodthirsty cold light in the sunlight: "Come! Follow me to the northeast corner! I will personally kill those ignorant bitches! Let them know that trespassing into Black Wind City will only lead to death!"
"General, the direction of the city gate..." the deputy general hurriedly reminded that the city gate was the main battlefield. Once it was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Deputy General, you're watching the city gate! If anything goes wrong, bring me your heads!" Wang Hu roared. "That female soldier squad was able to silently climb up the city walls and even break through. They're definitely not ordinary people! If we don't wipe them out quickly, and let them gain a foothold, attracting more enemy forces, we'll be attacked from both sides! By then, all of Black Wind City will be finished!"
Wang Hu, though brutal, was not without brains. He knew full well that Li Xueruo's Snow Blade Squad, though small in number, was like a wedge driven into the weak point of the city's defenses. If not removed promptly, this wedge would continue to expand, ultimately leading to the collapse of the entire defense. Furthermore, the intrusion of a female unit into the city walls would be a devastating blow to the defenders' morale.
"Pass on my orders!" Wang Hu shouted sternly, "Move two hundred elite soldiers from the Wolf Fang Battalion with me to the northeast corner! Also, order the catapult troops to temporarily abandon bombarding the city gates and concentrate their firepower on the outer part of the northeast corner of the city wall. Smash down any enemy troops who try to climb up! Archers, cover the northeast corner of the city wall! Crush those women to death, no matter the cost!"
The "Wolf Fang Battalion" is Wang Hu's ace unit! Every member of this team is a battle-hardened warrior, having experienced countless life-or-death struggles. Each one possesses a tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding combat skills. More importantly, these warriors have all reached the minor success level of the Earth Realm, which is comparable to the level of the female soldiers, making them a formidable opponent.
Furthermore, the "Wolf Fang Battalion" boasts not only exceptionally skilled personnel but also exceptionally sophisticated equipment. Each soldier is equipped with the most advanced weapons and protective gear, significantly enhancing their survivability and combat effectiveness on the battlefield. It can be said that the "Wolf Fang Battalion" is Wang Hu's last trump card, a weapon he would unleash at crucial moments.
However, the current situation had clearly reached the limit of Wang Hu's patience. He was completely enraged by Li Xueruo's Snow Blade Squad, and at the same time, he felt an unprecedented threat. These female soldiers were so bold as to openly challenge his authority. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!
"Yes, General!" The guards responded in unison, their voices deafening. Knowing Wang Hu's anger and determination, they carried out the order without hesitation and quickly passed it on.
Wang Hu, wielding a ghost-headed machete, exuded a murderous aura. His steps were firm and powerful, each one akin to stepping over the corpses of his enemies. He had a single target: the northeast corner of the city wall, where those ignorant female soldiers waited for him. With his ghost-headed machete, he would teach those female soldiers the true meaning of fear and make them pay a heavy price for their arrogance!
