Chapter 314: Fighting All the Way! (1/2)

Per Bai Xiaofei’s arrangement, his nearly 600 troops were assigned to the four walls, of which only 60 remained with Bai Xiaofei, 100 were taken with Tie Zhu, 150 each for the other two sides, and the remaining over 100 formed a mobile team ready to aid at any time if any side fell to a disadvantage.

The civilians’ actions were also speedy. Everything Bai Xiaofei wanted was already lined up on the wall in less than two hours, and the amount was considerable to boot.

Four hours after the level started, the first wave of enemies arrived.

At his side alone, Bai Xiaofei already estimated around 2,000 troops, and the situation at the other sides wasn’t much better. However, upon the sight of the enemy soldiers’ worn-out equipment, he was stunned.

Class one soldiers?! What the heck??! What is this? Are they coming here to die?

Bai Xiaofei's doubt was quickly answered. Yes, they really came to die. Class two archers could kill three of these weak class ones with a single arrow in most cases, not to mention skilled class three marksmen. Therefore, even before the opponents could reach the wall, they had already turned into over 200 corpses along the road.

“Pass my order, no one is allowed to use the artillery!” Bai Xiaofei immediately issued a command, aware that something was off.

All the walls immediately responded and then started to harvest the enemy's lives at a uniform pace. They didn’t even bother to pull up the ladders, simply letting the opponents climb up as they would just die even more miserably on the wall.

The first wave of the siege finished without danger. The only siege equipment, the battering ram, didn’t even enter within a 500-meter radius of the city gates.

“Clean up the battlefield!” ordered Bai Xiaofei after confirming that there were no more enemies approaching in the distance.

The soldiers on the wall slid down along the ropes. Other equipment wasn’t of much use, but arrows were in short supply. Each rank of the archers exchanged had their own limitation on the number of arrows. Class three marksmen only had 200 arrows while class two archers only had 100. Therefore, the timely recovery of arrows was the basis for long-term operations.

After the first wave, there was an upsurge in the morale of the soldiers on the wall, but Bai Xiaofei forced them into a state of rest.

As important as no despair in defeat was, no arrogance in victory was the way to go for a long-term foundation! This was one of the many great principles that Bai Xiaofei's second father had taught him. Originally, Bai Xiaofei had just thought Second Father had only been teaching him about life, but now it looked like it wasn’t so simple.

Little by little, Bai Xiaofei tried to recall all the things his Second Father had told him. Unfortunately, those were what he had been annoyed with the most back then, so everything was fragmented in his memory…

Shaking his blurred head, Bai Xiaofei took a deep breath.

If I have the chance, I must find an expert to learn about this command thing. It's so friggin’ interesting!

Determined, Bai Xiaofei set himself a small target, and at this moment, he saw the second wave of enemies rushing over. The number was about the same as the last wave, but the difference was that about 20% of them were class two soldiers.

Just as before, the enemy’s course was straightforward, only this time there was a catapult. However, its speed made it an easy target.

“Take down the catapult, but just let them continue pushing the battering ram.”

Heeding Bai Xiaofei’s command, the catapult on the city wall began to accumulate force.

“Be accurate, or else don't expect me to upgrade you next time!” Looking at the class two soldier operating the catapult, Bai Xiaofei said words that made the guy even more nervous. Under pressure, people either made fatal mistakes or would be terrifyingly accurate. Bai Xiaofei wanted the latter, that was why he provoked the soldier.
