"Why?" Qiu Zhen looked at Xiao Muqing suspiciously.
Xiao Muqing said: "It is still too early to use the Pyretic Oil. Please be patient!"
Qiu Zhen frowned and said: "Right now, we are unable to stop Savage Soldier, if we do not use Pyretic Oil s, Savage Soldier will rush forward!"
Xiao Muqing smiled lightly, and said: "It's not too late to use it at that time." Seeing Qiu Zhen's disapproval on his face, Xiao Muqing took a step forward, leaned beside him and whispered in his ear: "Master Qiu has only studied people, it's a rare stratagem, but I'm afraid my combat experience is not as good as yours. Regarding this subordinate's suggestion, please reconsider!"
Qiu Zhen stared at Xiao Muqing and remained silent.
Xiao Muqing continued: "Right now, we are facing a great enemy. Once we break into the city, it would be hard for us to stay alive.
Although Xiao Muqing's words were polite on the surface, he was actually not holding back at all. However, what he said was the truth, and his experience in dealing with enemies was indeed far inferior to Xiao Muqing who was close to ten years old in the army, especially against Savage Soldier.
After being silent for a moment, Qiu Zhen raised his head, looked straight into Xiao Muqing's eyes and said sternly: "I hope that you do not kill all the brothers in the city!" Saying that, he handed over the order flag in his hand to Xiao Muqing, and said: "I'll temporarily be under your command!"
Xiao Muqing was also surprised that Qiu Zhen had taken the initiative to give it to him at such a crucial moment. He looked at Qiu Zhen, then at the banner of command in front of him.
"Xiao Jia Jun, what are you waiting for?" Qiu Zhen asked.
Xiao Muqing regained his senses, and no longer hesitated, as he received the order flag, he said: "Thank you for your trust in this subordinate, Master Qiu!" Once upon a time, he had also dreamed of himself wielding a banner to command all the horses in the Chiliarch, but who would have thought that it would actually become a reality today.
Without time to lament, he waved his hand and called the Herald over, saying: "Pass down the order, the city guards must protect the Pyretic Oil well.
"Yes sir!" Xiao Muqing had the banner of command, he was the current commander, how could the soldier dare to delay, he quickly replied and ran off.
Aside from the main general, his personal guards, and the mounted troops of the Savage Soldier, almost all of them went onto the battlefield. The built up ladders formed together, and tens of thousands of Savage Soldier s climbed up the city like wild beasts, while the guarding Feng Army s also used all the defensive weapons they could use.
However, such a strong attack was still unable to stop Savage Soldier's charge. Not long after, with Savage Soldier already charging to the top of the city walls, and just as the Savage Soldier that had just arrived didn't even have the time to wield its weapon, they were pierced by a few dozen or even dozens of spears and had fallen to the ground. However, the Savage Soldier that had followed suit behind them welcomed the numerous lances ferociously, and at the same time, succeeded in suppressing countless of them as well as winning time for their comrades who were behind them.
Under the battle of Savage Soldier with such a suicidal tactic, the Feng Army gradually became unbearable and the number of Savage Soldier gathered at the top of the city wall became more and more.
When Feng Army was on the defensive, they would still have the advantage, and when the enemies attacked the city walls and turned into a face-to-face confrontation, Feng Army was not a match for Savage Soldier at all. Usually, two or three Feng Army would not be able to defeat one Savage Soldier each, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides on the battlefield would be immediately divided.
Qiu Zhen who was on the tower saw the battlefield clearly, so he stomped his feet anxiously. If the Savage Soldier had not reached the top of the city walls, they would have been able to rely on their superiority in defending the city, and now that the Savage Soldier had arrived, they would no longer have the advantage.
He slammed the arrow block down, and suddenly turned around, staring at Xiao Muqing angrily: "You want to kill us …"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Muqing who was originally standing motionlessly suddenly raised the flag and waved it.
Receiving the order from the flag, those Feng Army s that were in charge of the Pyretic Oil lifted up the oil pot one by one, rushed to the edge of the city wall with a roar, and poured down the Pyretic Oil s that were boiling hot inside.
Some of the Savage Soldier s had already rushed up the city walls, but there were even more who were still climbing the ladders and waiting below the city walls. Pyretic Oil were scorching hot, let alone being poured on top of their head, even if they were to be glued to their skin with oil, they would still cause a large blister.
Countless Savage Soldier s were so hot that even the skin of their faces fell off, revealing blurry flesh and eerie white bones. They were in such a miserable state that it was hard to bear watching them.
It was not over yet. Seeing that the Pyretic Oil s had all rained down, Xiao Muqing waved the order flag again, and half of his body went out of the tower, pulling at his neck and shouting: "Release the rockets, light the oil!"
Following his orders, the Feng Army s started to light up the arrows one by one.
With the descent of the rocket, Fringe City immediately turned into a sea of fire, followed by miserable screams.
The Savage Soldier s that were not affected by the Pyretic Oil or were merely scalded by the Pyretic Oil were stuck inside the sea of fire, being burned all over their bodies, they screamed and screamed miserably, causing the Feng Army s on the city walls to feel a chill down their spines, the air was filled with the stench of burning flesh and meat.
The general of Savage Soldier evidently had not expected such a situation to occur, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly ordered for all the attacking Savage Soldier to be withdrawn.
Hearing the order from the main general to retreat, all of the Savage Soldier turned around and retreated back to their own camp.
When they retreated, the Savage Soldier beneath the city was burnt to ashes, and those that had climbed up the city walls were immediately turned into a lone army. The Savage Soldier who had rushed to the front in the beginning thought that they were the brave warriors who had opened the gate of victory, but now, they had turned into Death Soldier who had crawled into the gate of death.
Behind him was a sea of flames, ahead was the Feng Army of a sea of people, it could be said that no matter if they went forward or backward, these thousand Savage Soldier s would all have a path of no return, even though they were tightly grasping their weapons, and even though they still appeared fierce, despair could be seen in their eyes. On the other hand, their morale was high, and they had split the Savage Soldier s of over a thousand people into many sections and surrounded it.
Even though he looked calm on the outside, he had actually already become anxious. Delaying for time and conniving for Savage Soldier to go up was his plan, and sprinkling Pyretic Oil s to isolate his Savage Soldier was also one of his plans. The main reason he wanted to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible was so that he could use them to the best of his ability. His plan could be considered to have been considered to have succeeded. This huge fire had burnt more than half of the cloud ladder into ashes, and at the same time, it had heavily injured and damaged the opponent's Savage Soldier, greatly reducing their spirit.
He turned his head to the side and once again called for the messenger, and said: "Pass my order, capture as many people as you can who are trapped on the city walls, and kill those who resist stubbornly!"
"Yes!" "Join the army!" With the order given by the battle commander, Herald was extremely impressed with Xiao Muqing's ability and felt a great deal of confidence in him.
Xiao Muqing spat out a mouthful of impure Qi, turned his head and looked at Qiu Zhen, smiling faintly, he said: "Just now, I caused Master to be shocked!" Although his words sounded like he was comforting Qiu Zhen, they were actually mocking him for being impatient and not acting like a general.
Qiu Zhen regained his senses and looked at Xiao Muqing in shock. No matter what kind of character Xiao Muqing was, his abilities were outstanding, he was calm in the face of danger, adding on his rich experience, this person was an opponent that could make enemies tremble in fear on the battlefield.
Hearing the ridicule in his words, Qiu Zhen was not angry, at least on the surface he was not angry. He smiled lightly, and said casually: "I can't say I'm surprised, but it's just that this is my first time fighting against someone from the Savage Soldier, and I'm a little nervous." As he spoke, his gaze turned to look at the order flag that Xiao Muqing had tightly grasped in his palm.
But now that the Savage Soldier had temporarily been withdrawn and many people had died, and the ladders had been destroyed to a large degree, it was likely that it would be difficult to launch any more attacks in the near future. Logically speaking, Xiao Muqing should return the flag to Qiu Zhen now, but the latter was able to hold onto it safely and also feel comfortable using it.
Deliberately ignoring Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing chuckled, turned and looked outside the city: "The first attack of Savage Soldier has suffered greatly, if we attack the city once again, we will use our full strength, at that time, it will be extremely difficult for us to defend!"
Qiu Zhen frowned and asked: "Then what do we do? Do I have to repeat the same trick and use fire to attack again? "
Xiao Muqing shook his head and said: "The enemies are already on guard, if we use fire attacks, it will be difficult to achieve any results. Now we can only rely on the Master Tang, if we can make it in time, we can destroy the enemies. "This is bad news!"
Qiu Zhen's heart trembled, and asked: "How do you think the Savage Soldier will attack the city next?"
Xiao Muqing replied: "Whether it's attacking from all sides or using the Spirit Warrior as the vanguard to go straight to the city gates!"
Qiu Zhen gasped, if the Savage Soldier were to spread out and attack the four walls, then their side's defense would have lost its focus, there were not many people, and if it were to spread to the four walls, most likely, it would be destroyed by the Savage Soldier. After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, Qiu Zhen's face became serious.
The remaining one thousand odd soldiers on the city walls did not resist for long. Aside from a few who were killed, everyone else had become prisoners with Feng Army.
Xiao Muqing ordered the people to tie these Savage Soldier up and push them to the front of the city. Even if they could not be used as hostages, it could still be used to deter enemies.
The first attack ended in a crushing defeat, causing the losses of their Savage Soldier to be not small, with over ten thousand casualties. Before the Savage Soldier could launch its next round of attacks, a dust cloud rose from the back of the camp as a group of people and men quickly rushed over.
