Chapter 316: Problem after Problem, Racing against Time! (1/2)

The first wave of boulders fell. After the probing during the day, this batch of catapults was exceptionally accurate. Not a single stone missed as they all landed on the walls.

“Whoever’s still living f*cking stand up for me! Catapults, counterattack!” All dusty from the debris, Bai Xiaofei got up. His startled soldiers instantly responded.

However, it was impossible for them to get a good shot in the dark. After a wave of counterattacks, none of the 20 catapults were hit, only taking several hundreds of the soldiers controlling them.

But the attacks of those enemy catapults were still frighteningly accurate! After another round of bombardments, a bunch of the already few soldiers on the city wall died.

“Give up the catapults! Pour down all the oil and alcohol! Set alight the corpses below!”

When he realized that the strategy of blasting catapults with catapults was useless, Bai Xiaofei decisively changed the order. The soldiers who were still active immediately responded in a panic and a sea of fire arose from the base of the wall.

During the day, someone had proposed to clean up the bodies below, but Bai Xiaofei had refused just for this surprise move. What he couldn't have known was that circumstances would have forced his hand.

“Put out the torches, everyone gather to me! Messenger, get over here!” Shouting, the anxious Bai Xiaofei was a completely different person from his normal state.

The battlefield needed no one else, just a leader with a loud voice and a clear mind!

“General, the messenger was killed by the stones!”

The remaining less than 20 soldiers gathered at Bai Xiaofei’s side, all gathered up in a corner of the wall as the boulders were still falling. If it weren't for the sea of fire that prevented the enemy from climbing up, the wall would have been lost by now.

“Then you go! Tell them to set fire to the other three walls now and get here as fast as they can!”

Bai Xiaofei hadn’t been idle during the wait in the afternoon. With the help of civilians, all kinds of combustible materials had already been piled up at the remaining three sides. As long as there was fire, no one could ever dream to approach them!

This was originally prepared on a whim to deal with special circumstances, so as to allow Bai Xiaofei to gather forces in a short period of time without worry. He just didn't expect this special situation to occur so soon.

Soon after the new messenger ran off, flames rose to the sky on the other three walls. After a while, all the soldiers who survived on the other sides came running, and the only intact team was the mobile backup team of a hundred class two soldiers.

“General, what do we do?” Now a Martial Warrior, Tie Zhu didn’t back down but waited for Bai Xiaofei's command with a resolute face.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei felt warm in his heart.

It really wasn’t a waste of my effort to turn you into a class four soldier!

“The fires on the three walls can last for four hours at most. What you need to do is to hold the wall when they climb up after their catapults stop attacking. Let no one pass!”

Bai Xiaofei's tone left no room for doubt. Tie Zhu immediately nodded firmly.

“As long as I have breath left, I won't let anyone pass!” Replying with a familiar sentence, Tie Zhu looked at Bai Xiaofei with a silly smile.

“Live, wait for me. I still need to make you my deputy general!”

After leaving some words, Bai Xiaofei jumped off the wall. The enemy soldiers who were waiting for the fire to go out below immediately flocked over. Unfortunately, when they approached, they couldn’t find Bai Xiaofei.

“Big Brother Tie Zhu, General, he…”
