Kapitel 97: Chapter 97 The Death of Xiang Tingchun

After two days of brutal siege battles,

the combined efforts of the city's soldiers and civilians managed to stubbornly hold the fort.

Instead, it was the barbarians who suffered the loss of another two thousand troops and a Refining Organ General.

Additionally, with countless siege weapons destroyed, they had no choice but to cease their drumbeats of war and dared not attack for several days.

Surveying the overall situation,

the barbarians now had only six thousand soldiers left, while Po Yang held six hundred troops and three thousand commoners willing to risk their lives.

These commoners were just ordinary people.

If it had been an open battle between two armies, they would certainly have been cannon fodder.

But in a siege, all they needed to do was handle logistics, repair the city walls, or even serve as human shields—if they could just slow the barbarians' ascent, giving the soldiers time to react, it would be enough.
