Chapter 118: A One-Sided Siege

When the second-in-command returned to the main city of the bandits, the spies that the leader had sent out had not yet returned.

The second-in-command jumped onto the city wall and immediately said, "Brother, the ninth leader is indeed a spy. He has lured the Sword Sect's army here."

A little over half an hour later, the Sword Sect's army would be at the city gates.

The leader took a deep breath and looked at the still raging fire outside the city.

"How many of them came?"

"I don't know how many there are, I just bumped into one group of people."

"Someone, bring the other leaders over here."

After the other leaders arrived, the chief leader immediately assigned them to guard the city.

There are now eight leaders in the city, and two of them are responsible for guarding one side of the city wall.

After the leader made the arrangements, these people were still unaware of what was about to happen.

The third leader asked with some doubt, "Boss, are we going to conduct city defense training?"

The leader's gaze swept across the crowd. "This is not training, this is real combat. The people attacking us are from the Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, the leaders felt a chill run down their spines.

The main force of the Sword Sect is here. Can our group hold them off?

They trained every day on how to attack cities, but when the enemy came to attack, they ended up having to defend the city.

At this moment, the scouts returned to report.

"Reporting to the chief, a large force of the Sword Sect has been spotted to the east, numbering approximately two thousand."

"Reporting to the chief, a large force of the Sword Sect has also been spotted in the west."

Scouts who went to investigate in all directions all said that a large force was advancing towards the city.

It's obvious that the area is surrounded.

The leader said, "We have no way out but to fight to the death."

The Sword Sect sent 10,000 men, while we have over 10,000 here. Our numerical advantage doesn't necessarily mean we'll lose.

The bandit leaders thought to themselves, "Can our people compare to those of the Sword Sect?"

We are likely to lose this battle.

However, we can't avoid fighting; only by starting a fight can we have a chance to escape in the chaos.

The leaders received their orders and led their men to the city walls to defend the city.

After the leaders left.

The second-in-command asked, "Brother, when are we leaving?"

Both he and the leader understood that once the Sword Sect discovered this city, it would lose its value.

"Let's wait and see."

Even if they leave, they will still take a piece of flesh from the Sword Sect.

Has Lu Zixuan left?

He left yesterday.

"What a pity. If he were here, we might still have a chance to turn things around."

The second-in-command said, "I will go back and destroy all the data and rosters."

After saying that, the second-in-command left.

The two men made the bandits fight desperately, but they themselves were clearly already prepared to escape.

……

When Hong Baichuan and the others arrived at the bandit city, they all stared wide-eyed.

I never expected that someone would actually build such a huge city deep in these mountains, especially since it's on the territory of the Sword Sect.

Lin Feng used the Demonic Dragon Roar to shout loudly into the city: "Listen up, people of the city! The Sword Sect's army has come to rescue you!"

Go to the small square, cover your head with your hands, and crouch on the ground; this could save your life.

While Lin Feng was shouting, the bandits were still mobilizing the people in the city to help defend the city, and had the people transport stones and oil to the city walls.

Upon hearing this, the people in the city were unwilling to move.

They were under house arrest in the city, never hoping to return home.

The bandit drew his sword and threatened, "Anyone who dares to go to the small square, I'll chop them down first."

The people in the city dared not resist and could only submit to the bandits for the time being, but many of them planned to find an opportunity to squat in the small square.

Even the bandits guarding the city walls were so cold that they didn't want to go to the small square.

In no time, the twenty battalions that Hong Baichuan brought surrounded the entire city.

Hong Baichuan shouted loudly, "I am Hong Baichuan, the Iron Sword Army General of the Sword Sect. You should open the city gates and surrender quickly, and you may still be able to save your lives."

I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Think it over carefully.

Hong Baichuan's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire city, clearly indicating that he had also practiced sonic martial arts.

Hong Baichuan used the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to organize his troops in preparation for attacking the city.

The bandits inside the city were in an uproar, not expecting that the attacking force was actually the regular army of the Sword Sect.

Many of the bandits who were driven onto the city walls thought that defending the city was also a form of training.

The chief's trusted subordinates and several other leaders quickly suppressed the internal unrest.

They repeatedly warned these low-ranking bandits that only by resisting could they survive.

After an incense stick had burned, no one opened the city gate.

Hong Baichuan waved his hand, "Attack the city!"

"Kill!"

The Sword Sect's main force surged towards the city walls like a tidal wave.

With a whoosh, the bandits on the city wall were the first to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Clang, clang, clang—the Iron Sword Army soldiers ran while wielding their swords to deflect the incoming arrows.

After a volley of arrows, only a few Iron Sword soldiers were shot down; most of the arrows were deflected.

As the Iron Sword Army approached the city wall, some of the archers stopped, took down their bows and arrows, and began shooting at the people on the wall.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, the two groups exchanged arrows.

Clearly, the Iron Sword Army's men were more accurate.

"Ahhh!" The bandits on the city wall screamed in agony as dozens of arrows rained down from the ground.

Some bandits who were preparing to pour kerosene and throw stones were also shot down by arrows.

The archers of the Iron Sword Army had clearly undergone long-term training; they were all excellent marksmen.

The soldiers of the Iron Sword Army ran to the city wall without using grappling hooks or rope ladders.

These people used light-footed skills like gecko climbing, scaling the city wall with astonishing speed.

The bandits on the city wall panicked and hurriedly threw stones and poured kerosene down.

But they were almost always shot by archers as soon as they showed their faces.

However, a few unlucky soldiers in the Iron Sword Army were hit by stones or doused with oil and fell off the city wall.

The bandits took the opportunity to throw torches down, and several fires broke out at the foot of the city wall.

However, most of the Iron Sword Army had already climbed the city walls.

These people climbed onto the city wall, drew their iron swords, and began clearing out the bandits guarding the city.

A hand-to-hand battle broke out on the city wall.

In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Of course, the smell of blood mainly came from bandits.

A bandit slashed at the first Iron Sword Army soldier who climbed the city wall.

As a result, only a few sparks appeared on the person's body.

It turns out that the Iron Sword Army soldiers all wore chainmail under their black robes.

This chainmail is extremely tough and difficult to cut through with ordinary weapons.

The bandit looked at the chipped steel knife in his hand, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him, before being cleaved in two by the Iron Sword Army.

The siege was almost entirely a one-sided massacre.

Only the direct subordinates of the top two leaders still have the strength to fight.

The Iron Sword Army, which had entered the city, opened the city gates from within.

More Iron Swordsmen stormed into the city.

Zheng Tiejun, along with Zhao Youcai, and Lin Feng, along with Zhang Xiaoyu, Sun Yu, Zhou Haitao, and Lin Hu, all rushed into the city.

Lin Feng led four people forward, fighting their way through the enemy lines.

Lin Feng killed the stronger bandits directly, and left the weaker ones for a few people to practice on.

The Iron Sword Army has people specifically tasked with recording military achievements, and they can also help record these achievements.

After the battle, rewards were given based on each person's merits.

The city is in chaos now, and no one cares about ordinary people anymore.

Ordinary people and some bandits who did not want to fight all ran to the small square, knelt on the ground, and put their hands on their heads.

Lin Feng glanced at the small square and was speechless. He had told them to squat on the ground, but they all knelt down.

After killing several people, Lin Feng led a group of men into a restaurant and directly pulled out the restaurant's money box and divided it among themselves.

Each person carried several silver notes, too lazy to even take the loose silver.

The restaurant owner and his staff all knelt down in the small square. They knew they would be searched, so they didn't bring any money with them.

Lin Feng said, "The properties in the city belong to bandits. We can rob whatever good stuff we want in the city. This little bit of silver is just an appetizer."

As they charged forward, they looted the shops along the way.
