After the calm before the storm, what awaited them would be a torrential storm! After a period of peace, the conflict between the Gold Gathering City and the Qingfeng Stronghold finally broke out!

The Qingfeng Stronghold was the first to launch an attack, but their methods were very conservative. They did not rush to attack, but rather gathered their troops together outside of the Gold Gathering City and continuously prepared to attack the city. This was different from what Ling Feng had predicted!

Ling Feng had originally thought that Qingfeng stronghold would go all out in their attacks! If they were to use this method of underestimating their enemies and being reckless, they could continuously weaken the Qingfeng Stronghold's strength. However, from the looks of it, the Qingfeng Stronghold was not just a bunch of boorish men.

Seeing the situation outside, even Lu Tianji couldn't help knitting his brows. This battle was more difficult than they had expected, and the opponent of the Qingfeng Stronghold was much stronger than they had imagined!

"I wonder if the Gold Gathering City can hold on until the Blood Wolf Army arrives? Is the Blood Wolf Army able to defeat the Qingfeng Stronghold? " These two questions were lingering around Lu Tianji!

It was not that Lu Tianji did not believe him, but the truth was that more than a hundred thousand bandits were gathered outside of the Gold Gathering City. They were not in a hurry to attack, but instead stationed outside of the city.

This was a scheme in itself, and an open scheme at that! Such a grand operation is obviously to create pressure on the Hujin City side. I have over a hundred thousand troops stationed outside your city and can attack at any time, but it's not like I don't want to attack!

This would not only threaten the entire Gold Forming City, but would also cause a certain amount of pressure to the merchants and mercenaries within the city!

When a real battle began, it was not scary at all, but this sort of waiting to surround and not attack was even scarier! Being surrounded and not attacking would not only wear down the opponent's willpower, but it would also wear the opponent down. It would put the opponent in a state of tension and eventually defeat the enemy from the inside!

Having seen through all of this, Lu Tianji was very worried. He was afraid that his own side would be thrown into chaos before the other side started the fight! After all, over four thousand of the city's five thousand guards were mercenaries. Moreover, there were merchants and mercenaries in the city.

It was possible that under the pressure of such a 'encirclement but no attack', a rebellion had occurred!

After all, how many people could endure against such a powerful enemy like the Qingfeng Stronghold? As long as they could choose a different path, those people would definitely leave this place immediately!

On the other hand, Ling Feng's appearance was completely different. Seeing the behavior of the Qingfeng Stronghold, the corner of Ling Feng's mouth curled up into a smile. He thought to himself: "I never thought that I would underestimate the Qingfeng Stronghold's strength. It seems like this matter is becoming more and more interesting ?"

Lu Tian's worry and Ling Feng's self-confidence as a bandit formed a strong contrast, leaving Jin Yuyan at a loss as to what to do. On one hand, the enemy had shown her strength and worry, and on the other hand, her trust in Ling Feng, everything would be resolved!

"Ling Feng, what do you think we should do now?! "The merchants and mercenaries in the city have started to have abnormal emotions. If this goes on, there will be trouble ?" Jin Yuyan asked Ling Feng!

Ling Feng said, "Although the merchants and mercenaries of Gold Gathering City are a hidden force, it is also a huge hidden danger. Especially in times of crisis, these people only care about their own benefits ?"

"But you don't have to worry too much. These people are doing this for their own benefits. As long as they feel that they are cooperating with us, they will have more benefits. These people will definitely cooperate with us!"

Although she didn't know what Ling Feng's actual plan was, Jin Yuyan was extremely confident after hearing it. The knot in her heart was immediately resolved!

Finally, on the third day after the Qingfeng Stronghold's troops were garrisoned, they began their first attack! As an assaulter, the Qingfeng Stronghold was well-prepared. They had a large number of siege equipment, such as climbing ladders, catapults, and archers ?

The first siege of Qingfeng Stronghold had sent out twenty thousand men to attack. These twenty thousand men were elites of Qingfeng Stronghold with decent fighting skills and strength. Under the cover of many siege equipment, they began to attack the stronghold!

Looking at the attitude of the Qingfeng Stronghold, it was as if they were going to attack the entire Gold Gathering City!

The catapult unceasingly threw huge rocks into the city. The huge rocks fell onto the city, causing a large amount of damage to the buildings within the city! Stones that fell onto the city walls would cause a large number of casualties ?

Aside from the whizzing of rocks from the catapult, there were also a large number of arrows shooting from below the city walls, causing the garrison army of the Gold Gathering City to be unable to raise their heads at all! Under the suppression of such a large number of siege equipment, the twenty thousand men of the Qingfeng Stronghold were constantly approaching the Gold Gathering City ?

The men from the Qingfeng Stronghold looked at their side and saw that they were about to reach the foot of the city wall. It was as if they were about to win!

This was the usual strategy of siege wars. They would use large amounts of long-range siege equipment to suppress the city guards and then allow the troops to approach the city walls. As long as they used a ladder to climb up to the city wall, the battle would be considered a victory!

Currently, almost everyone in the Qingfeng Stronghold thought that their side was about to win. The Gold Gathering City was about to be trampled under their feet, and the gold and silver beauties in the city could be plundered as they pleased ?

However, there was one person who did not think this way. This was Hu Lang. As the chief of the Qingfeng Stronghold, he was not like his subordinates. He only knew how to burn, kill, and rob.

The fact that the Gold Gathering City was able to destroy a team of 2,000 people without a sound meant that the strength of the city was definitely very strong. However, the strength displayed now was completely incomparable to before! Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? At this moment, Hu Lang was also starting to suspect him! However, most of them were worried ?

Sure enough, what Hu Lang was worried about happened very quickly. Just when the people from the Qingfeng Stronghold climbed the escalator and were about to climb the city walls, a reaction came from Gold Gathering City. A large amount of liquid spilled out from behind the battlements ?

This sudden action did not attract the attention of the besieging soldiers. They only heard 'Whoever ascends the wall first will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins, and ten beauties ?'

As for the twenty thousand people of the Qingfeng Stronghold, all of them began to crazily charge toward these 'ten thousand gold coins and ten beauties'. Everyone wanted to be the first person to climb the city wall!

Finally, someone had climbed onto the battlements of the city wall. However, what welcomed him wasn't 'ten thousand gold coins, ten beauties', but a hot, rolling torch.

Originally, the damage from a torch was not that great. However, when the flame came into contact with the oil, the damage was not as simple as just a torch!

That's right, the liquid that just spilled from the wall was the kerosene! This was how Ling Feng dealt with the situation. He used the oil of fire to carry out a fire attack, turning these attacking bandits into roasted pigs!

Because the fire oil had been poured over them beforehand, the little soldiers of the Qingfeng Stronghold had already turned into fire men before they even reached the city walls. The fire continued to spread and soon, the entire area below the city walls was covered in a sea of fire.

Seeing his 20,000 men being engulfed by the sea of fire, Hu Lang finally realized that the thing he was most worried about had happened!

With more than 20,000 people attacking the city, it was already crowded when they reached the city walls. This sudden fire engulfed most of the people. Other than a few people behind her, three-quarters of the 20,000 plus people were engulfed by the sea of fire ?

Nearly twenty thousand people were simultaneously engulfed by the flames. Wailing cries, miserable cries, and curses formed a huge impact, causing all of the members of the Qingfeng Stronghold to feel a chill in their hearts!
