What happened next not only caused the Moqiu State to vibrate up and down, it also caused the Phoenix City Pass to fluctuate a little.

Ever since the Xiu'er destroyed the granary and took Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi away, the three of them "rebelled" against the three hundred more Red Camp Apprentice Knight s. Although Zhao Handong led his group to chase after them, facing the well-trained Fire Phoenix Knight s, the useless Zhao Handong could only watch as they disappeared into the vast forest.

Although he had ran over three hundred Red Camp Knight s, the only thing he could say now was "the impact" was not good. After all, in everyone's eyes, the Apprentice Knight could not be considered as a true Knight. Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms was the true protection of one's fighting strength.

Although reinforcements from various places were constantly rushing over, the enemy forces on the other side were also getting stronger and stronger. There were more and more ferocious looking Demonic Beast Soldier s here. Although they were still unable to form a large-scale siege with Demonic Beast Soldier s, their strong individual combat abilities were already a great threat to the guards on the city walls.

Aside from the uncontested Wulian Border Army and Royal Guard, the various provinces of the country were sending out reinforcements towards the Phoenix City Pass in a steady stream. However, immediately, when even the powerful Red Camp Man-at-arms was unable to engage in a one-on-one battle with the Demonic Beast Soldier, the people's militia first became a decision that everyone felt incomparably ashamed of yet had no choice but to make.

Countless "temporary" warriors of the second and third clan of people's militia were pushed up against the city walls. They threw countless rocks and firewood towards the city walls during the day, and at night, they also sneaked out of the city to pick up rocks that they had smashed down during the day while they were in the midst of a pile of badly mutilated corpses. After all, every stone would bring the enemy a little closer to them. Even if the empire did not lack these stones, the enemy could not use them as stepping stones!

Once enemy soldiers broke into the city walls, these people's militia soldiers would become the first targets to be noticed. The Moqiu Soldier who rushed up while bearing the sky full of rocks hated these fellows who carried rocks and smashed them down the most, giving them what might be their only chance to attack and not being stingy at all. However, once they did so, this blade would truly be the last blade they would use in their entire lives. Standing behind people's militia, the Border Army Soldier and Red Camp Warriors would not hesitate to pierce through their chests with their spears, and kick their corpses beneath the city walls.

In just a short span of ten days, he had lost more than seven thousand people due to people's militia, and almost every day, he would have to fill up a camp on the city walls.

Even so, this was under the premise that Zhao Handong's prelude to the battle had had a huge effect on the group city that he had constructed.

When Zhao Handong was building the outer city wall back then, he valued the three regiment cities the most. Three rotund group cities split the Phoenix City Pass's front wall into two, making it impossible for Moqiu Army to organize a large-scale frontal assault. Furthermore, the firepower created by the three cities plus two walls caused the Moqiu Soldier who risked their lives to rush to the side of the city walls to have almost no place to hide. Facing the Moqiu Soldier s who kept attacking his Phoenix City Pass like tidewaters, Kong Sheng, who had recovered from his injuries, also steeled his heart and used Qu Feizhi's most beloved weapon: the kerosene.

Tanks after tins of kerosene smashed down, as flaming arrows shot down. The Moqiu Soldier that were trapped beneath the city walls were immediately surrounded by flames, as they cried out miserably.

It wasn't that he had never thought of using Moqiu Army like before, but it was just that Zhao Handong was too cunning back then, making this group city into one that was too difficult to break through. There were no edges to be found on the side of the group city when facing the enemy. They were all circular designs, the outermost rocks were all laid out with the entire stone, the cracks left on them were completely filled with rice paste. No matter if it was a large-scale bolt or a stone thrower, they were unable to leave even the slightest bit of damage on its surface. Considering how the Moqiu State was good at using handheld crossbow s, Zhao Handong had designed the shot holes to be tall and small, so even if they could not dodge the range of the handheld crossbow, it would greatly affect their power, allowing the people in the group city to freely shoot from them without worry.

But even so, facing an attack with Moqiu Army that was like a tide, everyone still felt threatened within the Phoenix City Pass. The young went up the walls to fight, while the old and young stayed back to make bows, chop wood, smash rocks, and transport food.

Commander Elder Shi brought a group of officials from the mainland to patrol the entire city. Other than the fact that they did not go up on the city walls, they went around all the other injured barracks, worker camps, and grain camps. old commander kept a straight face the whole time and did not say a word. After a circle, he went straight back to the Castellan Mansion, leaving the officials of the mainland looking at each other in agony. It was too obvious. He had to ask for food.

The problem was the food, the money. Even if the officials had to pay for themselves, it wouldn't be a problem, but what about the soldiers? The three people's militia divisions could already be considered to have used their farming powers. If this continued, all of the farming forces would be brought over. At that time, what about next year's spring farming? Putting aside next year, this year's autumn harvest was also a problem.

Looking at the waving flag of the tiger in the distance, a Chinese official let out a long sigh. "How is this a city defense battle? It's clearly a meat grinder!" One by one, the citizens of the empire were sent in, and all of them turned to dust! "

Despite their helplessness and curses, the officials were still thinking of ways to organize their troops in their own provinces with bitter expressions on their faces. This was a meticulous task, and he had to increase the number of troops for the Phoenix City Pass. He also had to ensure that the Autumn Harvest in his own province proceeded normally, and also prevent bandits from causing trouble while they were still in the air. A dignified province like this was beaten up by a group of bandits to the point of looking for their teeth on the ground. It was neither nice nor nice to look at.

As for Shi Keren, Kong Sheng and Zhao Handong, including Huo Yanrann, they were also hoping for the same thing.

The Spring Growing Autumn Harvest was only a matter of time, and Moqiu State had already chosen to attack in the spring. It was obvious that they were waiting for the end of the Spring Growing before using their troops. They would also have to face the problem of the autumn harvest that their Fire Phoenix Empire s were facing. Moreover, they were located in a bitterly cold place in the northeast, so the production of food was even less, and the degree of its value was even higher. Even if there were one or two provinces with outstanding Fire Phoenix Empire s, the other provinces would be able to survive through the winter with a little more support. Not to mention the total yield of the grains, just the war between the Tiger King would take a while to settle. Moreover, it was an entire nation's worth of soldiers who had come. They had to either attack the Phoenix City Pass before the harvest or retreat honestly. Otherwise, they would have been able to endure the winter. No matter how good a soldier was, as long as they didn't have any food to eat, they would become live targets.

However, in the face of such an attack, how could they survive until autumn? There was only one way, fill it with his life! That's why there was that "people's militia first order" that was tacitly accepted but not publicly announced, making everyone feel ashamed.

As long as the reinforcements from various places were not too old or too small, all of them would be pushed up the city walls and use their bodies to form the first line of defense. Shi Keren was so angry that his face turned white, Kong Sheng shook his head, Zhao Handong was also clenching his teeth and feeling embarrassed, what could he do? Who has a better way? Did he really have to use his Border Army and Red Camp on the city wall? What if they had to counterattack, assault, and if they had to face off against a single soldier?

Fortunately, after enduring for a month, the Moqiu Army attack slowed. It had changed from the initial two attacks in one day to one in one day, and now it was two to three days. Facing such a situation, the few generals weren't used to it. A group of people sat together in discussion without knowing what was going on. Zhao Handong gritted his teeth and asked, "How about we hijack the camp?"

Shi Keren glared: Maybe he's just waiting for you to die!

Kong Sheng tried to smooth things over. "Arrange two teams of Red Camp Brothers to go in the night and have a look, they will suffocate to death this month." "If it can't be done, then at least come back with a live one, and let us know what's going on."

Hearing that, Shi Keren and Zhao Handong stared at him at the same time, causing goosebumps to rise all over Kong Sheng. He raised his hands and solemnly said, "This time, I will definitely not lead, I will be with you two! "I guarantee it!"

That night, the two groups of Red Camp Knight changed into light armor and set off, while Kong Sheng was almost escorted by Shi Keren's guards to the Castellan Mansion, where they sat together with Shi Keren and Zhao Handong. The three of them silently drank their tea, waiting for the news that the Red Camp Knight brought back.

The Red Camp Knight set out at midnight and returned before dawn. The information she brought back made him at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. She was heavily guarded and was unable to break in. They wandered outside the enemy's base for half a night without finding an opportunity. In the end, they helplessly grabbed a soldier that was looting items on the corpse and brought him back to die. The Red Camp leader also felt disgraced, and ordered for the little soldier to be brought in front of the other masters before quickly leaving.

The three of them asked the soldier for more than two hours and found out that he was really a soldier. A month and a half ago, he was still farming at home. The three of them didn't know what was going on, but it was fortunate that just one sentence was enough to distract them. According to the captive, a few Tiger King s in the main camp were arguing. Why they were arguing, he did not know, but he had heard rumors that there was a rebellion within the country. Some Tiger King said that they wanted to go back and level the rebellion, and some said that they wanted to hold on to their Phoenix City Pass.

For such vague information to come from the mouth of the lowest ranked soldier, the credibility of the information was not high enough. Kong Sheng looked at Zhao Handong, Zhao Handong looked at Shi Keren, Shi Keren then glared at Kong Sheng. Helpless, the three of them could only decide: Please be steady, and continue to defend.

Walking out of the Castellan Mansion, Kong Sheng let out a long sigh. In his heart, he felt that this was a good opportunity to assault his opponent. However, the untrustworthiness of the information could not force him to make such a decision. He could not use his brothers' lives to test his intuition, right? Kong Sheng couldn't help but think of Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu. If these two were still here, then maybe these two guys wouldn't be afraid of the heavens or the earth. When he thought about the two of them, Kong Sheng couldn't help but think of the Xiu'er, that bold and audacious girl, what happened to you two?

Honestly speaking, Kong Sheng's intuition was right. If he really went all out to attack the Moqiu Army Camp, there would be a large chance of winning the battle and creating a miracle in the history of the battle between the two countries. However, he did not. After all, he was not Qu Feizhi, nor was he Chen Chu.

In the Moqiu Army Army Camp, a commotion had broken out among the few Tiger King s. At the beginning, it was Fifth Tiger King and Seventh Tiger King who found out that there was a chaotic army of the fire phoenixes in their feudal fiefdom. Eleventh Tiger King and the ten Second Tiger King did not agree. They said that Phoenix City Pass was right in front of them and if they worked hard, they would be able to get it. Fifth Tiger King and Seventh Tiger King naturally would not take the two people who were ranked last seriously into consideration, but Second Tiger King and Third Tiger King, who were both extremely powerful, had once again faintly expressed their eagerness to take down the Phoenix City Pass. Adding on to that, Lord monarch did not say a single word regarding Fifth Tiger King and her proposal to return, the atmosphere in the tent had become slightly more subtle. For a moment, no one dared to speak carelessly. No one dared to make a move carelessly. They were afraid that if they were in the wrong team, they would attract others to group up and attack them. The consequences of doing this, was that the attack slowed down as well, allowing Kong Sheng and the others to make wild guesses.

A few more days later, the internal battle report arrived. All the Tiger King s were in an uproar because the situation had already developed beyond their expectations, towards a situation that they could not control.

Three days after the secret conversation between Xiu'er and Ninth Tiger King.

Ninth Tiger King and Tenth Tiger King led a hundred thousand strong army to suppress the border, pushing straight for Tiger Running City. The Fire Phoenix Army had unexpectedly abandoned the city, and used a flash battle to defeat the vanguard troops of the Ninth Tiger King, causing the Ninth Tiger King to be in a sorry state. They then circled around the main forces of the two armies, and dropped straight into the last tent of the Tenth Tiger King.

The dignified Tenth Tiger King, facing the surprise attack of the enemy, had actually chosen to surrender! He led his thirty thousand strong army and joined the fire phoenix chaos army, and rushed towards Ninth Tiger King who had rushed over to rescue.

Fortunately, the son of the Tenth Tiger King was not a filial child. Before his father led his troops to surrender, he brought ten thousand of his elite soldiers to the Ninth Tiger King. After that, in the accounts of the Ninth Tiger King, the little Tiger King became the Tenth Tiger King and announced that his father was the traitor of Mo Qiu.

Furthermore, the vanguard troops of the Ninth Tiger King had already been disrupted in the first place. After suffering such an attack, the troops had already lost their morale, and were unable to withstand the joint attack of the Fire Phoenix Army and the old Tiger King. Thus, they could only retreat, and perhaps due to some unknown reason, the direction the Ninth Tiger King army chose to retreat was actually towards Moqiu City. The Fire Phoenix Army did not give up, and continued to pursue, pointing their weapons at the Moqiu City. Fourth Tiger King was shocked when he heard about the military news. He hurriedly gathered all his troops and headed to the Emperor of Moqiu City to rescue his comrade.

In an instant, the army of three went straight for the Moqiu City. Ninth Tiger King was in front, Fire Phoenix Army was at the back, and Fourth Tiger King was blocking them from the right. The originally peaceful and tranquil Moqiu City had now become the focus of this gathering.
