C87 (2/2)

Perhaps as the battle experience continued to increase, this number would decrease, but how long would Phoenix City Pass, which only had a total of two hundred and twenty thousand people, last?

Kong Sheng had learnt it before when he was at the Imperial Military Academy. In a war to steal a city, one's side had to pay five to ten times the usual amount of manpower to gain an advantage. It was also in this place known as Phoenix City Pass that there was a classic example of a battle of twenty thousand elite forces carrying three hundred thousand Moqiu Army.

However, the current situation left Kong Sheng helpless. Whether it was the military academy's theory or its classic example of war, they had not calculated the difference between the two sides' individual military capability. At least, the difference between the two sides' individual military capability was not that big at that time. But the current situation was just too cruel. To go against it with such a disparity in individual military capability s, there was no precedent.

In the meeting room of the Castellan Mansion, Kong Sheng and the others were completely speechless. Other than the stench of sweat and the stench of feet, the entire room was filled with the suffocating smell of smoke coming out from Zhao Handong's big pipe. However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to bury their grievances.

After a long while, Kong Sheng said in a muffled voice, ”Tomorrow, let the people's militia s take a rest, and then we'll finish them all. Let them come down from the first line to rest, and take the chance to replenish their stone materials.”

”Yes.” Zhao Handong nodded in agreement.

”Old Ling, you had a rest in the afternoon, so you had to put in a lot of effort during the night patrol.” Beware of the Demonic Beast Soldier, those beasts are used to taking action at night, don't let them steal any loopholes. ” Kong Sheng turned to Ling Zilu.

Ling Zilu nodded his head, ”Don't worry, I have already arranged everything. Apprentice Knight will immediately go up to the wall and patrol, heavily armored knights on standby. If there are any problems, we will directly blow the whistle and light the fire.”

Kong Sheng then looked at the only two people in the room who were dressed neatly — Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu — and asked, ”What do you two think about this?”

Qu Feizhi scratched his ears and cheeks: ”Lord Kong, this is the first day. Let us go up on the city wall, we can just sit here and listen to your fight, we are really worried right now.”

Kong Sheng immediately waved his hand. ”No way, just thinking of it made me forget it.”

Seeing Qu Feizhi's listless look, Chen Chu said blandly, ”Lord Kong, I suggest that we send someone to bring in the corpses that night.”

”There are tens of thousands of corpses outside, what do you want that for?” Zhao Handong asked.

Chen Chu lowered his voice and said, ”If you can take off the armor and fill it with dirt, it can be used as a lance stone or a stone thrower's stone. As for the corpse, we can take out the fat and use it as oil. ”

Although everyone here had experienced countless slaughter, when Chen Chu said those words, they all sucked in a cold breath of air. This guy was truly worthy of being called fierce, truly ruthless.

”Our kerosene reserves are enough, as for this ~ ~ so ~ ~” Zhao Handong thought for a long time, but still could not think of a way to describe his actions.

Chen Chu said indifferently, ”The consumption for defending the city is huge. If we wait for a shortage to appear before we think of a solution, it would be too late.”

Without waiting for Zhao Handong to refute, Kong Sheng had already raised his hand to stop him, and said to Chen Chu: ”This matter will be handed over to you, but remember not to be too arrogant.”

Chen Chu stood up and bowed: Understood!

Qu Feizhi hurriedly interrupted from the side: ”Lord Kong, look at me ~ ~ ~”

Kong Sheng shook his head helplessly: ”If you're touched with light, you should just follow Chen Chu and be his assistant.”

Qu Feizhi straightened his body, and bowed straight towards Kong Sheng as he said, ”Understood!”

At dawn of the second day, along with the rumbling sounds that sounded like muffled thunder that came from the distance, the Phoenix City Pass soldiers all put down their rice bowls, grabbed their spears, blades, and shields from the walls, and stood up to look towards the north. Rows and rows of black troops appeared on the horizon. The morning sunlight reflected off their leather armor, the scimitars in their hands, and the handheld crossbow s on their backs, giving off a murderous light.

The second day after the life and death battle of Phoenix City Pass, the curtains were opened.
