"General Shi, let me tell you a piece of good news. Our people learned about General Chen from the side. When he first joined the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance, he thought that City Lord Zhao Hai was in charge of the alliance. Later on, when Nineteen became the Alliance Leader, they were very dissatisfied. This time, they sent the least amount of troops. It's clear that they are dissatisfied with Nineteen."
Shi Ye said to Shi Chui. He seemed very excited, because if General Chen was really dissatisfied with Nian Nineteen, then they would be able to win General Chen over.
Shi Chui nodded and said, "Send someone to contact General Chen and see his attitude. But remember, don't let Nineteen know. Today is a rare day of rest. Nineteen and the others are also in the camp. The camp should be heavily guarded, so we must be careful."
Shi Ye nodded and said, "Alright, leave it to me."
The reason why Shi Chui handed this matter over to Shi Ye was because his target was too big. Nineteen and the others had always thought that the Stone Ox City-State revolved around the Lost Soul City-State. Because of this, they wanted to deal with the Lost Soul City-State the most. This was because the Lost Soul City-State had only been established for a short time. In their eyes, the Lost Soul City-State was an anomaly.
Because of this, every move of the Lost Soul City-State's army was being watched. Although Shi Ye and the others were also being watched, they weren't as bad as the Lost Soul City-State.
This day was very peaceful. It was strange to say that the South Hua Gate didn't send anyone to attack. They didn't even send a probing attack. They were in a defensive state and didn't have any intention to attack.
In a siege battle, unless the defending forces were too weak, the defending forces would always counterattack once or twice. This was especially true when the other side had Dancing Void Experts. They could easily launch one or two night raids on the allied army's camp, throwing the allied army into chaos. This way, the allied army wouldn't be able to launch an all-out attack the next day.
However, the South Flower Gate's guards weren't like this. Their actions were very strange, they didn't counterattack, not even once. If they didn't have a Sky Dance Expert in their city, then that would be fine. But they clearly had a Sky Dance Expert in their city, yet they didn't counterattack, not even a single night raid.
In the era of cold weapons, night raids were a very good means of attack. This was because night raids could sometimes cause the enemy to roar. This was also why many historical books recorded that during night battles, a small number of troops could defeat an enemy army of more than 100,000.
In the era of cold weapons, it was impossible for the soldiers to be trained too well. Moreover, because of the backward production, the opportunity for the army to get meat was very little. As a result, the army would be malnourished, and many soldiers would be born with night blindness. In this case, once a night attack happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. The soldiers would panic, they would be afraid, and in the end, there would be chaos. Once chaos broke out, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would scatter overnight.
It was precisely because night raids could achieve great results that a lot of generals liked night raids. This was because night raids could bring them great benefits.
However, the South Flower Gate didn't launch a night raid, not even once. This made Stone Hammer feel very strange, he didn't know why they would do this.
Nineteen might think that the other side was afraid of their military might, so they didn't dare to launch a night raid. However, Stone Hammer thought otherwise. This battle could be said to be related to the survival of the Holy Court. The Holy Court had already lost once. If they lost again, then the city-states that followed the Holy Court would lose confidence in them. At that time, the Holy Court wouldn't be far from defeat.
Because of this, it was impossible for the Holy Court to give up on the South Flower City-State. They would certainly send reinforcements. In this case, the South Flower Gate was too conservative. Because of this, Stone Hammer believed that the Holy Court was brewing a conspiracy. And once this conspiracy was launched, then Nineteen would be in trouble.
It was precisely because of this idea that Stonehammer was very careful with the construction of the camp. He was also very careful with the defense of the camp. He was afraid that he would make a mistake and be caught by the other side. At that time, they would be in trouble.
The day passed very quickly. Stone Hammer didn't leave the camp until the afternoon. Year 19 gathered the generals once again. Stone Hammer and the others all went to the main tent. Year 19 only had a simple discussion about tomorrow's attack. Then, he let everyone disperse.
When Stone Hammer and the others returned to their own camp, they gathered together. Stone Hammer looked at Stone Leaf and said, "General Stone Leaf, did you get in touch with General Chen?"
Stone Leaf shook his head and said, "Not yet. General Chen's camp is very independent. He doesn't let people get close to it. If we suddenly go there, then we might be discovered."
Stone Hammer nodded and said, "It's good to be careful. We'd rather contact General Chen later than let Nineteen find out about our movements. Alright, everyone should go and rest early. I don't know what tomorrow's attack will be like."
Stone Leaf and the others nodded, then they turned around and left. They were also looking forward to tomorrow's attack. This was because General Chen's plan was very good. If it succeeds, then the South Flower Gate would be in danger.
The next morning, after waking up early and having breakfast, Shi Chui and the others went to the platform in front of their camp and looked at the army that was gathering in the distance. When dozens of armies were gathered, the army camp was really boundless.
It wasn't until nine o 'clock in the morning that the army finally gathered. Then they moved forward and used the same method as before. After suppressing the ballistas, they began to use the catapults. After discovering that there weren't many people on the walls, they began to use the infantry.
Ladders and siege towers were pushed out once again. The army slowly went up the mountain. At this time, there weren't many people on the walls. They were only using the ballistas to counterattack.
It didn't take long before the army slowly approached the city walls. At this time, a group of people rushed out from the front of the army. There weren't many of them, only a few hundred of them. However, their speed was very fast. In a blink of an eye, they had already reached the city walls. The tall walls were useless against them.
At this time, the people in the city also discovered that something was wrong. They discovered that the people in front of the army were wearing armor, holding shields, and swords. However, they were all Sky Dance Experts. The walls simply didn't have any effect on them. At this time, these Sky Dance Experts were already on the walls.
At this time, the city was in chaos. However, the General's reaction was also very fast. The Sky Dance Experts in the city also made their move. They rushed to the walls and met the Sky Dance Experts of the alliance. At the same time, the ordinary soldiers in the city also rushed to the walls.
At this time, the allied army had also arrived at the city walls. The scaling ladders and siege towers were also placed on top of the city walls. These scaling ladders and siege towers were placed very cleverly, right behind the Sky Dance Level experts. The soldiers in the city couldn't approach this position. When two Sky Dance Level experts fought, the shockwaves produced would make ordinary soldiers unable to stand firm, let alone approach.
After the ladders and siege trucks were stabilized, the allied army immediately attacked the city walls. However, they also encountered the same problem as the defenders in the city. That is, there were two Sky Dance class experts fighting in front of them, so they couldn't rush up the city walls.
This was somewhat awkward. According to the original plan, the alliance army's Sky Dance Experts should have led the Sky Dance Experts away from the city. This way, the alliance army could smoothly attack. However, the current situation was that although the alliance army's Sky Dance Experts wanted to lead the Sky Dance Experts away from the city, the Sky Dance Experts in the city were entangled with the alliance army's Sky Dance Experts. This made the alliance army's Sky Dance Experts unable to lead them away. Both sides were in a deadlock.
At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared on the walls. The ordinary soldiers of both sides looked at the Sky Dance Experts fighting each other. They wanted to go forward, but they couldn't. They wanted to kill, but they couldn't find an opponent.
At this time, Year One immediately sent Sky Dance Experts to support the alliance army. At the same time, Sky Dance Experts from the city also rushed out to support the alliance army. Before long, there were even more Sky Dance Experts fighting on the walls.
But at this time, there was also good news. The Sky Dance Experts of both sides slowly left the walls and directly flew up. It was clear that they wanted to shift the battlefield to the sky.
As soon as they left, the ordinary soldiers of both sides finally clashed. However, at this time, it would be difficult for the city's army to attack the alliance army from the walls. This was because the alliance army's soldiers were already prepared. The ladders and siege towers were already set up. In this case, it would be very difficult to attack the alliance army.
However, it was clear that the alliance army still underestimated the strength of the city. The defenders in the city were all elites. Moreover, they were fighting on their home ground. Because of this, they fought with all their might. Although the alliance army was on the walls, it wasn't easy for them to gain a foothold on the walls.
The eyes of the soldiers on both sides were red. The alliance army didn't stop attacking while the soldiers on the city walls didn't stop attacking. The two sides used the walls as a boundary as they fought a fierce battle.
But at this time, the walls suddenly caught on fire. That's right, the entire wall was on fire. Whether it was the enemy soldiers or the alliance soldiers, they were instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. The alliance soldiers screamed as they jumped down from the walls and directly fell to their deaths. The Southern Flower City's soldiers also screamed as they jumped down from the walls. However, they were jumping towards the city.
This sudden change caused Year One and the others to be stunned. After a while, Year One stood up angrily and shouted, "What's going on? What's going on? Why did the walls suddenly catch on fire? Why? Why is this happening? "
Nobody could answer his question. This was because nobody knew what happened on the walls. Year One stood on his carriage and kept on cursing. However, he couldn't do anything about it. When the alliance army saw Year One's appearance, their morale plummeted. With such a leader, it would be strange if their morale was high.
After a while, a person beside Year One said, "Alliance Lord, I'm afraid that we won't be able to reach the city walls today. I think we should withdraw our troops."
Year One was filled with hatred. He turned his head and saw that the one who spoke was one of his subordinates. Year One looked at him fiercely before he pulled out his sword and directly stabbed the general to death.
Year One's actions shocked everyone. They looked at Year One in confusion. Year One looked at the others with bloodshot eyes, causing them to feel a chill down their backs. They even unconsciously put their hands on their weapons because they felt that Year One would pull out his sword and kill them in the next moment.
Year One didn't give the order to retreat. However, the soldiers who were attacking the city had no way of attacking. This was because the entire city wall was engulfed in a sea of fire. You couldn't expect the soldiers to jump into the sea of fire. That was too unrealistic. It could be said that until now, the siege had been a complete failure.
Year One saw this situation and could only helplessly beat the gong to retreat. However, the moment he beat the gong to retreat, the faces of the Mammoth City's generals turned ugly. If Year One had given the order to attack with all their might, they wouldn't have anything to say. But now, he actually gave the order to retreat. Then what was the meaning of him killing the general who suggested the retreat? Was it just to vent his anger? If he continued to attack, he could still say that he killed someone who dared to talk about retreating. But now that he had retreated, why did he kill him? Just to vent his anger, he killed a general? Was this what a ruler would do?
However, these generals were all from Mammoth City. Although they were very dissatisfied with Year One's actions, they didn't say anything. They just silently retreated back to the main camp with the army. But what happened next made the generals even more disappointed. If Year One had given the order to bury the general he killed, then the other generals could only accept it. After all, they were his subordinates. The boss was angry and killed one of his subordinates. Although this wasn't right, the boss still buried the subordinate and treated his family generously. It could only be said that the boss was angry at that time, and everyone would feel better.
However, Year One didn't do that. Not only did he not give the order to bury the general, he didn't even care about the corpse. He didn't even ask about it. It was as if he had completely forgotten about the general. His actions really made the generals who followed him bitterly disappointed.
These people had been following Year One for a long time. Even if they didn't contribute, they still worked hard. But because Year One was in a bad mood, he casually killed that person. Moreover, he didn't even say anything. His actions made those who followed him feel that following such a boss wasn't a good thing. Maybe one day, they would be killed by their own boss for no reason. At that time, they wouldn't be able to complain even if they died.
