Rumble — The knight who was leading the Heavy Armored Cavalry struck the shield first, and the collision between the steel and metal produced a deafening noise. The few hundred people from the Feng Army were still unable to withstand the strong impact from the shield, and fell to the ground with a crash. However, they were able to successfully stop the advance of the Heavy Armored Cavalry.

Immediately after, even more Feng Army came out from behind the shield, attacking into the camp of Heavy Armored Cavalry, and using their earth blades to hack at the legs of the horses. Having lost their war horses, Heavy Armored Cavalry had lost his fighting strength as well. After a short battle between the two sides, more than a hundred men dismounted from their war horses and collapsed onto the ground in a fit of anxiety and anger as they roared out repeatedly.

It was not as if there were no casualties on the Feng Army. Many of the soldiers had been pierced through by the lances of the riders, as miserable cries could be heard from time to time from the battlefield.

Zhang Zhou and the rest effectively stopped the riders, taking this rare opportunity, Bai Yong took the initiative and broke through the Savage Soldier, rushing forward.

Savage Soldier refused to budge, and followed suit. But very quickly, the two sides reached the range of Heng City and let their own troops pass by, and then the Feng Army on the city wall started to pull back their bows and shoot arrows, causing the Savage Soldier chasing them to run all over the place. Seeing that it was no longer easy to obtain anymore, Savage Soldier could only withdraw and return to their own campsite.

Bai Yong successfully broke through the encirclement, but Zhang Zhou's group was unable to leave. When he was fighting with the opponent's Heavy Armored Cavalry, the surrounding Savage Soldier had already gathered into a sea of people, encircling three floors, outer three floors.

Seeing that the cavalry soldiers were unable to do anything, Heavy Armored Cavalry retreated, and following that, the surrounding infantry soldiers rushed forward step by step.

Someone from the Savage Soldier camp used a stiff voice and shouted: "My troop's commander is merciful. As long as you surrender, I'll spare your lives!"

Hearing the shout, without saying a word, Zhang Zhou picked up a long spear left behind from the ground and ruthlessly threw it towards the direction of the scream.

From the Savage Soldier camp came a blood-curdling screech, and then, the sound of the voices exhorting surrender disappeared. This action of his, signified his determination to not surrender even if he had to die, and it also led to the start of the siege of Savage Army.

The Savage Soldier s roared as they charged forward, standing together with the Feng Army s.

In terms of fighting strength, Feng Army could not be compared to Savage Soldier, and in terms of numbers, there was an even bigger difference between the two sides. The battle did not last long, and over half of the five thousand people in Feng Army were killed or injured.

After fighting for a while, the number of soldiers by Zhang Zhou's side became fewer and fewer, but the number of enemies became more and more. Looking up, people were surging everywhere and Zhang Zhou could not even see the end of them. He gathered the scattered soldiers and formed a circle, ready to fight to the death.

At this time, Savage Soldier's infantry unit retreated, and Heavy Armored Cavalry went up once again. Right now, the Feng Army was no longer able to withstand the impact of the Heavy Armored Cavalry, and as soon as the Savage Army cavalry moved, it split the gathered Feng Army apart, followed by the Savage Army infantry that separated them, and destroyed them one by one.

Now that the battle had reached this point, not to mention the despair of the ordinary Feng Soldier, even Zhang Zhou was unable to persevere any longer. His spirit armor was broken with countless holes, and fresh blood flowed all over his body. But the Savage Soldier did not give them a chance to catch their breath, attacking wave after wave continuously.

Zhang Zhou already could not remember how many Savage Soldier he had killed, or how many rounds of attacks he had repelled. In the end, he could no longer find any Feng Army around him.

Seeing that Zhang Zhou was already at the end of his strength, Savage Soldier did not want to cause any more casualties, the infantrymen's encirclement came to an end and they all retreated, Heavy Armored Cavalry lined up orderly in their formations once again as they ran towards Zhang Zhou.

Seeing that, Zhang Zhou laughed out crazily towards the sky, the strength in his body was unknown, he raised his spear, and rushed towards the Heavy Armored Cavalry's square formation.

At first, they could still hear shouts and shouts from the cavalry camp, but very quickly, the sounds disappeared. After the cavalry formation, there were no longer any corpses of Zhang Zhou on the ground, only clumps of blood, broken pieces of armor, and a twisted silver spear.

Although he had successfully burnt most of the Savage Army's rations, Zhang Zhou and the five thousand soldiers under his command had been killed in the Savage Army camp. More importantly, the food had been burnt, causing the entire Savage Army to become anxious, they could not delay any longer, and were forced to make a decisive battle.

In addition, Zhang Zhou was an elder and had a lot of prestige. Not only did his death greatly affect the morale of the soldiers, it also greatly affected the citizens in the city.

To have such a result, Xiao Muqing was already prepared in his heart. Sneaking attacks on Enemy's Camp was already a dangerous matter, and whether he lived or died was unknown. And it was also precisely because of this, that he chose to let Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong go.

Although Zhang – Bai is only in his early thirties, they are all old people with Pingyuan Army. They are highly respected, and every time they discuss important military affairs, they have to look at the expressions of these old people, which is both troublesome and awkward. Furthermore, Xiao Muqing is from a normal soldier's background, and can be considered to be the subordinate of the three regiment leaders, Zhang Zhou. Xiao Muqing was naturally not confident either.

This time, Xiao Muqing had sent Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong to ambush Enemy's Camp, it was hard to say if he was doing it on purpose to kill the two, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

In short, the Pingyuan Army had burnt Savage Army's rations, and Zhang Zhou would rather die than surrender, sacrificing his own body to the nation.

Just as the sky brightened, Savage Army's siege started again, only that this time, it was even fiercer than before. After losing their food, Savage Army was forced into a dead end, and could not be broken through, so they either retreated, or starved to death outside Heng City City.

Five thousand members of First Regiment were reduced by one, and with Zhang Zhou's death, their position was replaced by the original vice-captain. Their abilities were insufficient, and their command and manoeuvres were not as stable as Zhang Zhou's.

Regarding the Savage Soldier, they could not afford to be negligent in the slightest, because once a flaw appeared, it was extremely difficult to find a chance to make up for it. By noon, the Heng City around the main gate was no longer able to withstand the impact of the Savage Army. A large number of Savage Soldier broke through the defensive lines and surged to the top of the city walls.

Xiao Muqing, Qiu Zhen and the rest were at the front gate side, seeing the Savage Soldier approaching, everyone was shocked, even Xiao Muqing could not stay in the tower anymore, and personally went to meet the enemy.

He was not a pure civil servant, nor was he a martial general. He did not have any Spiritual Martial Cultivation, but he had fought in the battlefield for a long time, and he had experience in battle.

On the battlefield, the orders that the soldiers hated to hear the most were 'Charge!', and the order they liked to hear the most was' Charge! '. Commanding their soldiers to charge into battle and leading their soldiers to charge into battle were two entirely different concepts.

As the main general, Xiao Muqing was not afraid of death, so he personally went up to battle. This greatly encouraged the morale of the Feng Army.

Under Xiao Muqing's lead, the Feng Army began to counterattack the Savage Soldier which had abruptly charged up the city wall.

Because the city walls were too narrow and the two sides had so many people hugging each other, they simply could not swing their weapons, and they could only use more strength than the other. Either you push the other side off the city wall yourself, or you get pushed off the city wall by the other side yourself.

Some of them could not withstand the impact from the increase in their morale, and were forced to continuously retreat. Behind them, there would occasionally be people screaming as they fell off the city walls.

Seeing that his Savage Soldier was gradually collapsing, Xiao Muqing was spirited, using all his strength to go head to head with his own camp, slashing at the enemies in front of him with his sword while shouting: "Brothers, work harder, follow me in killing off the enemies, and avenge the General Zhang!"

Zhang Zhou, who had died indirectly due to him, had become the slogan for him to mobilize the emotions of the soldiers on his side.

Hearing Xiao Muqing's words, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army were filled with grief and indignation, as they all roared out loudly. The strength that they could have used had also increased to a hundred and twenty percent, as they fought against the Savage Soldier together.

At this time, the Savage Soldier was unable to resist any longer.

It wasn't easy for him to charge up the city wall with thousands of Savage Soldier s, but soon twenty thousand of them were forcibly pushed down. The Savage Soldier s that fell from the city walls were like snowflakes, and the corpses under the city walls had already piled up into a pile.

Many of the Savage Soldier s that had fallen to the ground were not dead yet, but they were immediately smashed to death by their comrades who fell together with them. The number of dead and injured was already beyond count.

A large number of Savage Soldier s with steel blades in their mouths were still climbing up the ladders to the top of the city walls from time to time, roaring as they charged towards the defending army. As they slashed down the enemy, they themselves were stabbed until bloody holes appeared all over their bodies, and they did not look like human beings.

Both sides were constantly exhausting themselves. At this time, the competition was not about fighting strength, but willpower. Whoever could grit their teeth and survive would be the final winner.

They fought until around [A], when the Pingyuan Army was no longer able to hold on.

It was as if they only had one thought left in their minds, and that was to kill. Under such a strong attack, the Pingyuan Army used up all the defensive equipment on the city wall, and what followed was a brawl filled with blood.

Once they engaged in close combat, Pingyuan Army would not hold the advantage at all, and would be forced to retreat slowly from the battle.

It was no longer the front gate that was in a hurry, but the four walls.

Xiao Muqing was decisive and immediately gave the order, the entire army retreated, they gave up on Outer Wall and changed to defending it.

At this time, the Heng City that the citizens of the Heng City Army painstakingly built started to show signs of movement.

Heng City was three meters three and ten meters high, which meant that the Inner Wall was five meters away from the Outer Wall, and more than two meters high. A little over six meters, retreating to defend the Inner Wall meant that the high advantage was also occupied by the Savage Soldier, which was really something to be helpless about.

Due to the two walls being too far away, it was impossible to directly jump from the Outer Wall to the Inner Wall, but a cloud ladder could be built from the Outer Wall and could be directly built from the Outer Wall. After that, the Savage Soldier would then follow the cloud ladder and rush toward the Inner Wall. It was just that this was easier said than done.
