After changing his strategy and deciding on a siege, Lu Yuan lost interest in attacking cities in the following days.
The captured vanguard soldiers were fortunate.
They did not follow the footsteps of the previous batch of vanguard soldiers, most of whom died at the foot of the city walls.
Nonetheless, the captives did not have an easy time either.
After several attacks, the remaining seven thousand captives were organized to dig trenches, set up antler traps, and build low walls outside the city.
Lu Yuan intended to isolate Fu City completely from the outside world.
The actions of the soldiers outside the city were naturally noticed by the Seven Star Sect rebels inside.
Upon deducing the siege strategy of the government troops, they refused to sit and wait for death and organized a raiding party to disrupt the siege.
However, Lu Yuan was well-prepared for such raids.
