Despite its imposing name, Hexagon City was actually a ruin that had lain abandoned for years. A small city had once stood here, but after the Cang River changed course, floodwaters submerged it. Only twenty years ago, when the river changed course again and the flow here ceased, had the riverbed dried up and allowed the drowned city to see daylight once more. Although the city had reappeared, its former residents would never return. It had remained deserted for the past twenty years. Exposed to wind and sun, its walls had weathered badly, collapsing and subsiding in many places. Not even a single intact building could be found within.
Hexagon City had been named for the shape of its outer walls. Hu Xiaotian had chosen this place for two reasons: first, it was far from any town and utterly deserted; second, once they left here, they could reach Xiezhou the next day. If the Shajia people missed their chance tonight, they would lose their best opportunity to deal with them.

Outnumbered as they were, they had to make full use of the local terrain, and Liang Yinghao was undoubtedly an expert in this regard.

Xiong Tianba and Hu Xiaotian would handle the frontal assault. Tang Tiexin was an exceptional rider, so he would draw off some of the enemies and circle around to support them.
What their group lacked was an expert archer who could attack and provide support
