C11 (1/2)
Under the gazes of all the citizens and soldiers of the Phoenix City Pass, the Moqiu State Army arrived one after another. Under the lead of the fluttering tiger banner, squadrons of silent soldiers appeared in front of everyone from Phoenix City Pass like a flood. The dense forest was being cut down at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the trees were cut down, they became tents, and the thick tree trunks were being refined into huge stone thrower s and ladders.
More and more armies appeared on the horizon, and more and more tents had been set up. The siege troops that had originally given everyone an incomparable headache had now become an unremarkable part of the great army.
Kong Sheng smiled bitterly as he shook his head. He sent people to invite the prefectures of the five northern provinces to lead their local troops to raid and collect the stone materials. A few of the guards looked down and saw that some of them had already lost their legs. Originally, they were all dissatisfied with this surrogate commander, Kong Sheng, for taking them in. Each and every one of them actively expressed that they would definitely complete the mission handed down to them by the surrogate commander, and deliver the stone materials to his on time.
Looking at the few people who were frantically running down the city gate tower, Chen Chu coldly said, ”Lord Kong has really found suitable jobs for them.”
Kong Sheng heard the ridicule in his words, and asked helplessly: ”Could it be that you don't need to worry about letting them climb the city wall?”
Chen Chu rolled his eyes and snorted without saying a word.
The Moqiu State army took a full three days to stop appearing from the horizon. The size of their tents was several times larger than before, and a total of seven tiger flags fluttered in the wind, showing off their strength to the soldiers at the head of the Phoenix City Pass City. Right now, forget about Fire Phoenix Army Knights, even if Kong Sheng had ten battalions, they would not dare to say that they could pass through the formation. Furthermore, what made Kong Sheng and the others feel that something was off was that each of the tiger flags had white edges. From afar, the shoulders of the soldiers in the camp seemed to be wrapped in white linen.
However, in the past few days, the Moqiu Army had not attacked the city. Other than using the logging to make camp and siege equipment, they were still digging ditches. Streams of trenches that were as deep as the waist and as wide as the width of a person appeared in front of Phoenix City Pass. The heavy infantry s raised special shields that required four people to lift, blocking in front of them.
Kong Sheng ordered the stone thrower to shoot three rounds consecutively. Although he could kill a portion of the heavy infantry s, it would not affect the progress of the excavation at all, so he waved his hands and ordered the stone thrower to stop its useless consumption of energy. At the same time, he had all the Knights of the Fire Phoenix Army dismount their heavy armor and prepare to fight on top of the city walls.
Qu Feizhi shook his head continuously, the opponent did not even need a blade and a spear to completely destroy the Phoenix City Pass's most powerful combat ability.
Kong Sheng called Zhao Handong over, and asked him to find a few large vats to bury in. He sent people to monitor the place, to prevent the Moqiu Army from digging into the ground and attacking him. He then called Qu Feizhi over, saying that he wanted to give him a very important but difficult mission.
But when Qu Feizhi arrived, he hesitated. Qu Feizhi looked at this officer who was only a few years older than him calling him but was unwilling to speak clearly.
In the end, it was Chen Chu who coldly said, ”Lord Kong, what is the need for you to do this? I'll go, don't make things difficult for this Baron Qu. ”
Qu Feizhi immediately jumped up, his eyes staring straight at Chen Chu: ”Master Chen, although you are also a part of Fire Phoenix Army, but the mission that our Lord Kong has given me, you directly snatched it away, is that not right?”
Chen Chu revealed a cold sneer in his eyes, ”Sire, I can completely let go of this matter now and return this mission to you. But the problem is, do you know what your Lord Kong wants you to do? ”
”You!?” Qu Feizhi's eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets, yet he did not manage to refute Chen Chu. He was right, it was indeed Lord Kong Kong Sheng who called him here and did not say anything afterwards. He wanted to compete with her, but he did not know what to fight for. Thinking about it, Qu Feizhi once again turned his gaze to Kong Sheng. At this time, your Lord Kong should say a few words.
Kong Sheng's face revealed a strange expression, as though he was crying yet laughing, as though he still did not know what to say or what to say.
At this time, Chen Chu spoke again, ”Lord Qu is still young, it's not appropriate to build more killing fields.”
His words seemed to have given Kong Sheng a pellet of peace of mind, he no longer hesitated, and cupped his hands towards Chen Chu: ”Chen Duo Pai, then it's hard on you.”
