Cheng Jin's blade directly knocked General of Savage Army unconscious, and the hidden arrow members quickly surrounded him, and stuffed the Spirit-dispersed Pill into General of Savage Army's mouth. At the same time, they took out a rope and tied it up tightly.

General of Savage Army was captured alive, and the Heavy Armored Cavalry which had lost its commander became even more chaotic. They had no choice but to face the Feng Army that rolled on the ground, and could only watch as their companions dismounted one after another.

On the other side, Bessa Army's main camp was still not clear about the situation within the city, and only heard the chaos within Heng City City. With the shouts of war, the Bessa Army's main commander no longer hesitated, and with a single order, the entire army charged, attacking the city.

In order to deal with the moat surrounding Heng City, the Bessa Army had used the majority of their troops to attack from all sides. Even if they placed it in the moat, it would allow the ladder to reach the top of the city wall.

At first, they thought that their side's Heavy Armored Cavalry charging inside the city would cause chaos among the defending troops, but as soon as the siege started, they were met with the head-on assault from the Pingyuan Army on the city walls.

It was not easy to get close to the city walls, and then, they were smashed by wooden pole slabs, causing countless Savage Soldier deaths and a mountain of corpses below the city walls with rivers of blood flowing everywhere.

The soldiers in the front were retreating while the people in the back were still charging forward, clashing with each other and trampling on each other, causing chaos in the entire camp. As a result, more Savage Soldier were being shot and injured by the arrows.

These normally arrogant Heavy Armored Cavalry s had all lost their luster from before. The armor on their bodies had long been stripped off by the Feng Army, and each and every one of them was tied up naked into a string, like a defeated rooster, listlessly holding their heads.

Looking at this scene, the Savage Army was in an uproar. Originally, they had placed their hopes on these Heavy Armored Cavalry, but who would have thought that they would become their captives.

The Bessa Army Commander was both shocked and disappointed. At the moment, any further attacks would be useless, and would only increase the number of casualties on their side. He gave the order, and the entire army would retreat back to their formation and stop attacking the city.

The large scale attack of the Savage Army had failed, and in the process of retreating, he had inevitably been pursued by the Pingyuan Army again.

When they came, they had originally thought that their own two hundred thousand strong army would be able to sweep the entire Pingyuan County away as soon as they left, but the reality was that the situation was far from smooth. A mere Heng City would not succeed in launching an open attack, nor in launching a sneak attack.

The Bessa Army Commander had also given up on his original plan of ending the battle quickly. He had ordered the construction of a divine altar inside the army camp to be used as a memorial service for the heroic souls who had died in battle. The efficiency of the Savage Soldier was astonishing. The divine platform that was several meters tall was completed in a single day.

The morning of the second day after the divine altar was completed, the Savage Army siege once again began.

This time, the Savage Army did not rush forward ferociously, but advanced step by step. The many Savage Soldier s raised their iron shields one by one, and from afar, the iron shields formed together, forming a huge circular mirror around the Heng City, and the reflected sunlight was eye-catching.

Seeing that the enemies were attacking again, used his arrows to shoot again, but the damage of the arrows to the shielded Savage Soldier was greatly reduced. Seeing that the arrows could not have the effect of killing or injuring the enemy, Xiao Muqing immediately ordered his arrows to be stopped, in order to save on the arrows. They no longer shot arrows, but arrows from the Savage Soldier.

When Savage Army was within range, the shields that were raised fell, following that, arrows shot out towards the city walls.

This round of arrows was out of Pingyuan Army's expectation, it was not enough to prepare, so the soldiers who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground, and quickly, Pingyuan Army raised his shield, taking the opportunity when his opponent was about to land and shoot, to rush and fire first. This move worked, the Savage Soldier camp was immediately in chaos, and the Shield Array s were also cut open.

Without even giving the Savage Army time to adjust, arrows rained down from the city walls like rain. Shoot wherever there was a gap, and the cries of Savage Army beneath the city rose and fell one after another.

Stepping on their comrades' corpses, they forcefully pushed their way to the bottom of the city. After setting up the ladders, the soldiers threw away their shields, clenched their swords with their teeth, and used their hands and feet to climb up the ladders crazily.

The wooden pole stone kept falling and the cloud ladder was also pushed open by the bamboo pole from time to time. The Savage Soldier continued to climb while disregarding his life and death, and the battle also reached its climax along with it.

With such a huge Heng City, battles were occurring in every corner of the walls on all four sides of the city, and the strong attacks of the Bessa Army were like a tide, wave after wave, continuous and endless.

As the fighting intensified, both sides on the battlefield felt their adrenaline pumping. They had almost forgotten about life and death. The only thought left in their minds was to kill the enemy in front of them.

The Savage Soldier s were like ants, moving along the ladders and ropes as they filled the city walls, from time to time, some people would fall from the air and grind their teeth while others would be hit by the arrows shot out from below the city walls. Some would fall on their back, and some would even plunge into the city walls.

The fierce battle lasted from dawn until dusk. During this period, the Savage Soldier s had repeatedly broken through the defensive line and attacked the walls of the city. Furthermore, they had been forcefully pushed back several times by the Pingyuan Army s, causing the number of casualties on both sides to rise exponentially.

At this time, the Pingyuan Army on the wall no longer shot arrows nor was it exhausted. Instead, they were even more exhausted, and just as the Savage Army retreated, many of the Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army s had already collapsed on the city walls, exhausted and only able to breathe heavily.

After a full day of battle, the number of casualties in Bessa Army was over thirty thousand, and the number of casualties in Pingyuan Army neared ten thousand. Of course, the majority of both sides had casualties.

In the evening, the citizens of Heng City who were organized by Shangguan Yuanji went up the city walls. They prepared food and a large amount of sugar water to replenish the energy in the Pingyuan Army. With the assistance of the citizens of the city, he had saved a lot of energy in his Pingyuan Army and also obtained enough time to rest.

The role of the citizens could not be underestimated, as physical strength was of paramount importance on the battlefield. This also directly determined the lives of the soldiers on both sides, as well as the outcome of the battle.

Fighting with Savage Army that was as fierce as a wild beast was extremely difficult, but it was precisely because of this kind of hard training that allowed Pingyuan Army to have such a strong fighting strength. In future battles with the other Dukes, there would no longer be opponents as strong as Bessa Army.

South City, tower.

Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muqing, the five Regiment Chief s and the rest were all gathered at the tower of the South City Wall, staring at the Savage Army camp in the distance.

Strictly speaking, today was the first time both sides faced each other head on. However, they had lost close to ten thousand people on the first day alone. How could they continue to fight?

Everyone was not relaxed at all.

Qiu Zhen faintly said: "I believe that we won't use any sneak attacks on the Savage Soldier tonight."

He didn't need to say this because anyone could tell that Savage Army was already exhausted after a day of fierce attacks and it was impossible to attack again at night. Unless the general of Savage Army had gone mad and no longer cared about the lives of the soldiers below.

Xiao Muqing stared at the Savage Army outside of the city, suddenly he pointed to the camp and said: "That should be the place where Savage Army hoards its grains!"

"Oh?" Everyone looked towards the direction of his finger. The sky was dark, and they could only vaguely make out the outline of the Savage Army camp.

Without waiting for others to speak, Ai Jia continued, "They should be here. For the past few days, I have been observing the food hoard in the Savage Army and discovered that the Savage Army s food were always pulled out from the South Camp, then distributed to the various camps."

Hearing Ai Jia say that, Xiao Muqing became even more sure. He nodded, changed the subject, and said: "I have an idea!"

"What idea?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Tonight, Savage Soldier will not ambush us, I actually want to go back and ambush Savage Army's camp!" Xiao Muqing said word by word, he then looked at the people around him and asked, "What do you think, generals?"

Everyone looked at each other with troubled expressions.

Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "If Savage Soldier does not come, we will thank the heavens. We still have to take the initiative to go out of the city and sneak attack Savage Army's camp, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

Xiao Muqing smiled slightly and said: "That's right! If our army can secretly send out a squad to ambush South Camp when Savage Army is exhausted, not kill the enemy, but burn its grain, it will definitely succeed in one go. After all, if our army can secretly ambush South Camp when Savage Army is exhausted, it will not kill the enemy, but burn its grain. If we burn up all the food in Savage Army, and the enemy's two hundred thousand strong army did not eat or drink, then I'm afraid that they will not be able to hold on for long before voluntarily withdrawing! "

Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

That's right, Xiao Muqing's deduction was reasonable, the Savage Army definitely would not think that they would dare sneak attack their camp. If it was really successful in one strike, then the retreat of the Savage Army would be just around the corner.

Qiu Zhen carefully thought about Xiao Muqing's plan, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this plan would work. He couldn't help but look at the Savage Army again, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure the Savage Army will store the food in the South Camp?"

Xiao Muqing shook his head and said: "We do not have the ability to go deep into the Barbarian Camp, so we cannot be certain, but even if we did not have to stock up our rations, it would still be possible to scare it if we suddenly barge in. We cannot let the Savage Army be calmly stationed outside our Heng City city!"

Qiu Zhen nodded, and looked around at the five regiment leaders, and then asked Xiao Muqing: "Then, how many troops does General Xiao think we should send over, and who will lead?"

Xiao Muqing didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "I think that the first and Second Regiment will have five thousand soldiers each. General Zhang and General Bai will divide the troops to send their subordinates over, and the Enemy's Camp can be broken through!"
