C11 The Beginning of Nightmare

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."

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "Lord Kong is too courteous, in order to protect the Phoenix City Pass and the million lives inside, this general is willing to take this responsibility."

Although Chen Chu's words were directed towards Kong Sheng, every word seemed to be piercing Qu Feizhi's heart. The young Baron was so angry that his nose was facing the sky, yet he could not say anything.

After Chen Chu leisurely walked down the city gate tower, Qu Feizhi angrily asked, "Lord Kong, you called me over, and now ~ ~ ~ aiya ~ ~"

Kong Sheng turned his head to look at the Moqiu Army Battalion in the distance, and leisurely said a sentence. "Little Qu, what Chief Chen said earlier is right, you still can't suppress it."

When night fell, Moqiu State's "digging" army was still working. Under the protection of sufficient manpower, there was no longer any meaning to be seen by day or night. Tens of thousands of people continuously dug their way in, digging a wide plain in front of the Phoenix City Pass into nine twists and turns, filling up with twisted trenches and tunnels. The cavalrymen found it difficult to move an inch, and the infantry were like fishes in water. As long as these tunnels were completed, they could simply cover the giant shield and allow them to trot unhindered from their own camp all the way to the Phoenix City Pass, and even into the Phoenix City Pass. It was also because of this that the soldiers of Moqiu State were digging happily. They had even invented a method to build a small earth dam to protect themselves from stone thrower. This way, the casualties among the heavy infantry s were reduced by a lot and it could be said that they were all happy.

However, they were unable to dig even a few hundred feet away from the base of the city wall. It wasn't that the soil had changed, but rather the soldiers on top of the city wall were unhappy. Stones, wooden blocks, dung pails, garbage ~ ~ Strings of things were thrown down. No matter how protective Moqiu Soldier was of her life, she would never be able to endure the fishbones that were left behind, the rice dregs that came the other night and the bombardment from the beams in the house. Furthermore, these things were almost endless, and as long as the guards had the heart, they would definitely fill in the holes faster than their speed of digging. However, since they were only a few hundred feet away from the city walls, out of the damage range of the stone thrower, the heavy infantry s could climb up the cloud ladder, so it was not an unacceptable distance.

After thinking of this, the Moqiu Army Headquarters gave the order to stop digging, and the soldiers started to return back to the camp along the tunnel. The giant shield s were laid down one by one on the top of the tunnel.

It was said that before the storm, the world would be peaceful. Everyone's fingers tensed up as they stood there, silently watching the black armored heavy infantry s between the two armies who were busy carrying the giant shield like ants. Even the Fire Phoenix Empire soldiers who had just taken off their clothes and armor from the five northern provinces knew that a great war was about to start.

What made everyone feel strange was that the Red Camp officer, who liked to look sideways at people and speak coldly, had disappeared along with Chen Chu and the one hundred odd remaining Knights under his command. However, no one asked about it. The upcoming battle was not a pleasant affair to have such a human ice lumps by his side. Zhao Handong had asked before, but Kong Sheng had indifferently changed the topic. Qu Feizhi knew about the inside information, but he was angry, and did not want to ask any more questions. In short, Chen Chu's disappearance didn't seem to be a big deal to the crowd.

In the morning, Kong Sheng who was clothed and sleeping on the city wall was woken up by a series of soft and soft rustling sounds. He tried his best to open his sore eyes and look around, but it seemed that he did not find anything special in his surroundings. The soldiers sleeping on the city wall were awakened one after another. Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces. It was as if they didn't know what had happened.

"Old Zhao, Zhao Handong!" Kong Sheng sat up, and shouted for Zhao Handong, who was in charge of clearing the dungeon last night. " What's with this sound? "

Zhao Handong ran down from the city gate tower, raised his hand and pointed towards the Moqiu Army in the distance: "Old Kong, look over there, there was something strange just now."

Kong Sheng took the binoculars and pulled them apart, then he looked in the direction where Zhao Handong's finger was pointing. They raised their shields and held onto their scimitars as they bent down to dig the trench they had dug earlier. Their helmets and shields kept hitting the heavy shields above their heads, making small cracking sounds. The countless sounds of collisions converged into one, forming a sound that filled the heavens and earth.

The sound was indescribable. It was like the spitting of silk from a spring silkworm, and it was also like the moving of ants. It was fragmented and complicated, disturbing to the extreme. As for the Helmet, it kept hitting the undulations created by the giant shield, and like a wave, it surged towards the Phoenix City Pass.

"stone thrower! Half acting! Three rounds! "

Following Kong Sheng's orders, baskets of stones flew all over the place, smashing onto the giant shield like rain.

Mo Qiu's giant shield was made of three layers of steel wood skin, and the bottom was lined with a bowl sized wooden purlin. When those stones smashed into the giant shield, it made a loud thumping sound, and was bounced off to the side. The continuous attacks that could not be targeted made the giant shield s harder to break through than they thought.

The wave formed from the constant collisions between Moqiu Soldier and the giant shield was getting closer and closer to the city wall. Kong Sheng's palms were sweating, the surrounding soldiers were already tightly grabbing onto the spear in their hands and the hilt of their blades. And this was just the beginning of the endless nightmare!
