3"Oh? You think so too?" Su Pei looked at Huang Feng in surprise and said. Most of them thought that they would definitely win against the Western Army, which was the higher ups. Su Pei also had the same thought. He never thought that an ordinary 'soldier' would have the same thought as him.    

    

"That's right. Judging from the looks of the Western Army, it is not something a defeated army should have. On the other hand, the soldiers in our city have poor equipment and low combat attainment. Although they have the advantage in numbers, there are many old people and children who are unable to enter the battlefield. Other than consuming food, these people are unable to provide any help on the battlefield. If the other party had spies in the city, I think... They'll be able to attack the city very soon. " Huang Feng analyzed calmly.    

    

Hearing Huang Feng's words, Su Pei was even more shocked in his heart. One should know that in their army, most of them were just a bunch of people who didn't know a single word. Looking at Huang Feng's current look, it was obvious that he had read before. He was even a person who had read military books, a person who had seen a lot of things. Such a person, let alone in the uprising army. Even in the Imperial Court, it was rare to see such a person.    

    

"You're right. That's why I'm worried about defending the city." Su Pei said.    

    

"General Su, can we really not defend the Mei County? What should we do then? " The man beside Huang Feng said with a nervous expression. If this was what the others said... He wouldn't believe it. He would even think that the other party was trying to mislead the crowd.    

    

However, if it was Su Pei who said this, he would believe it without a doubt. Therefore, he also felt that the Mei County wouldn't be able to hold on for long. As one of the defending troops, he was naturally worried about his own safety.    

    

"I reckon that he won't be able to hold on any longer. As for what should I do? I don't know either. I am only a soldier now, not a general. Even if I have any thoughts, it will be useless." Su Pei shook his head and said.    

    

Su Pei really had no choice at this moment, even if he was immediately appointed as General. Because, the atmosphere of the entire uprising army had already formed. Everyone had underestimated their opponent, and they had not done enough preparation in the early stages. They did not have a good relationship with the residents in the city. This resulted in a disadvantageous situation for them.    

    

Hearing Su Pei's words, the face of the rebel army was filled with sadness and worry. When he looked at the Western Army outside, he felt even more afraid.    

    

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"    

    

Outside, the Western Army was lined up in a neat square formation, and they were approaching the city wall step by step. The orderly roars were boosting their morale and confidence, but also dampening the confidence of the defenders in the city. Some of them seemed to have become less confident than before.    

    

"Damn it, these dogs of the Imperial Court really know how to bark. They're panicking. " On top of the city wall, a small leader was looking at the Western Army outside the city. His face was pale. He muttered to himself. He didn't even realize it himself. His right hand, which was holding the hilt, was already trembling slightly.    

    

No one laughed at his performance, because no one else had performed much better than him. His face was pale and his body was trembling. He was definitely not the only one.    

    

"Everyone, stay alert. They are about to climb the wall. Be careful!" There was a person who looked like a leader patrolling the area, reminding everyone.    

    

"Charge!"    

    

Outside the city, the Western Army finally let out a heaven-shaking roar. After which, the Formation spread out and moved forward. It had turned into a run, because at this moment, they were within the range of the arrows. If they continued to walk slowly, it would be no different than courting death.    

    

However, they were actually worrying too much. After they entered the range of the arrows, arrows flew out of the city, but they were all scattered. Those hundreds of arrows could not cause much of a stir among tens of thousands of people. Apart from injuring a few unlucky people, there was not a single person who died.    

    

"Bang, bang, bang!"    

    

One by one, the scaling ladders were driven to the city wall. The Western Army soldiers began to climb up while roaring.    

    

"Smash for me!"    

    

Following the furious roar of one of the leaders, pieces of rocks were smashed down. When the huge rocks hit the heads of the Western Army soldiers, it instantly caused their heads to burst open. Although there were some people who wanted to resist, it was obviously not very effective.    

    

"Down!"    

    

Another order was given. A basin of boiling golden liquid was poured down. Anyone who was splashed by it would scream and fall down the ladder.    

    

The golden juice was actually made of various kinds of feces being boiled in boiling water. The boiling heat could make the person who was splashed. They were instantly scalded, and the bacteria in the feces would infect those who were scalded. In this world that lacked medicine, if one was infected by bacteria... That is basically incurable. As for how long they can live... That would depend on the heavens.    

    

It could be said that the existence of gold and stones had indeed provided a lot of help to the defending troops in the city. It had also caused quite a bit of trouble for the Western Army, and the effect they had. It was much better than the scattered arrows from before.    

    

However, there was a limit to the amount of gold juice and stones. These things were consumables. Once they ran out of them, they wouldn't have any good ways to stop the Western Army from climbing the wall. At that time, it would be the time for close combat.    

    

As the battle broke out, the worries of the righteous army in the city gradually rose. It was not that they were not afraid anymore. Instead, they were replaced by madness, blood and death. Stimulating everyone's nerves, their eyes turned blood red. Their brains also lost the ability to think, and what they could do was kill. Kill all the enemies who wanted to climb up the city wall.    

    

However, these soldiers quickly discovered that the Western Army was under their attack. They did not lose like last time, but the more they killed, the more they felt like they were losing. This made them feel uneasy once again, especially after the fight. They discovered that these Western Army seemed very valiant. They didn't look like the defeated soldiers that they had been talking about for the past two days.    

    

Less than two hours after the battle started, some of the Western Army's soldiers had successfully climbed onto the city wall. Although that man was quickly minced into meat paste by the surrounding uprising army soldiers. However, this was obviously not good news. This situation had occurred. This was much earlier than what the upper echelons of the uprising army had predicted.    

    

This situation also caused the leaders of the uprising army to be stunned. At this moment, they realized that... Although they felt panicked, they did not know what to do. Su Pei was dismissed from his post. Leader Qiu did not go up the city wall. They wanted to ask for instructions. They did not know who to ask for instructions.
