Chapter 211 Shi Yong
Tianhao thought for a moment and decided to reveal some information: "Zongfu City Lord, in fact, Fangya City is not as difficult as you think."
Zong Ju smiled, he moved his body forward a little, and asked in a low voice: "Ahao, what you mean, have you arranged an insider in that city?"
"That's right!" Tianhao's answer was ambiguous. The situation is unclear now, and he does not intend to disclose too much on this issue.
Zong Ju showed a solemn expression on his face: "It seems that we should fight quickly."
Black Tooth City is the best example. The battle was very easy and the Zong Gu is still impressed.
"We must fight quickly." Tianhao did not want to mislead him: "I got the news that King Pig is seriously ill, and all the affairs in Fangya City are currently under the presidency of the national master Wu Zhuang."
"Witch Mane?" Zong Ju found various pictures of this person from the depths of his memory and asked in confusion: "I remember she is a wizard, why does she still understand military affairs?"
"The remaining troops of the Pig Clan are not much. As you said just now, Fangya City lacks food and cannot last long. They must ask for help from other tribes, which is the only way out."
This is information that neither Leijiao City nor Yuanshui City have ever mastered.
Zong Gu suddenly became serious, and Liao Qiu and Gangdian also became cold-looking.
"Ahao, who do you think will send troops to support them?" Zong Ju asked seriously.
"I don't know." Tianhao said calmly: "The tiger clan, the lion clan, the deer clan, the eagle clan...everyone can do it."
He added a dry branch to the fire, and the fire was so loud that it was "crackling".
"But these tribes are unlikely to send troops." Liao Qiu's crooked lips were a little leaked: "They have fought each other, and some of them are still blood feuds that will never end. They cannot cooperate."
"You're right." Tianhao played with a piece of firewood that had just been held in his hand, and gently stroked the rough section with a tough and thorny feeling: "There will not be more than two tribes sending troops to support Fangya City at the same time, but it cannot rule out the possibility of one of the tribes sending troops."
"We have to solve the problem before the situation gets worse." Sonju straightened his body: "When will we act?"
"How is it the day after tomorrow?" Tianhao did not act arbitrarily. He calculated the time and left everyone with an extra day.
"Then let's make an appointment to leave the morning after tomorrow to target Fangya City." Liao Qiu replied firmly.
...
The territory of the Lion tribe, the Cang Lion tribe, and the Broken Golden City.
Also walking out of the city lord's mansion, Wu Yuan's mood was completely different from when he was in Yuanshui City a few days ago. It was full of sunshine, dominated by strong satisfaction and excitement, and even his steps became lighter.
As it turns out, the people of the Tiger tribe are all brainless fools.
As it turns out, I am still very intelligent and visionary.
The pig man messenger was still gathering together and talking in a low voice. The tall and burly captain walked up to him, looked at Wu Yuan who was full of energy and asked uncertainly: "How are the talks this time?"
"The Lord of Shiyong City promised to send troops in three days." Wu Yuan lowered his voice and put out his five fingers with his left hand mysteriously: "All 50,000 people."
Captain Pigman couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning, and his surprise suddenly appeared in his expression: "Really?"
Wu Yuan nodded: "The tiger tribe has no knowledge at all. They just want to get benefits, and never thought that the two tribes are actually a whole. If the pig tribe collapses, it will not be of any benefit to them."
Captain Pigman nodded repeatedly. He now believed that the ox tribe wizard was really considering his own tribe. Although Wu Yuan's approach was strange, he was not a Pigman, but instead became an enemy of his tribe.
"Where are we going now?" Captain Pig Man asked seriously.
Wu Yuan shook the animal skin on his right hand: "The Lord Shi Yong wrote two documents and asked me to give it to the other two Lion Clan City Lord. He will now send a special person to Roaring City to meet His Majesty the Lion King to explain the situation."
An indescribable excitement instantly surged into Captain Pigman's heart: "Will His Majesty the Lion King help us?"
"Yes, sure!" Wu Yuan's eyes seemed to be shaking the corpse of Tianhao hanging high on the wooden pole. The pleasure of revenge was burning in his body, and even the cold wind blew over his face like a knife was not concerned. He clenched the animal skin roll in his hand tightly: "Let's go, don't waste time. The more reinforcements, the better. If we complete the task earlier, the sooner we can return to Fang City."
...
The mansion of the Lord of Broken Gold.
Shi Yong is a man with a gloomy face. The most prominent part of his facial features is his eyes. His eye sockets are large, but his eyelids are habitually pressing down. Most of the time, he lowers his head slightly. His bottom-to-top gaze makes people feel uncomfortable, just like being stared at by a hostile beast.
Including him, there were five human witches and three military commanders sitting in the living room.
Looking around, Shi Yong was very satisfied with this dull and depressing atmosphere. He cleared his throat: "You all know the situation, I decided to send troops."
A commander hesitated and asked: "Sir, this is too hasty, right? Should I ask the king for advice?"
The "king" he mentioned refers to Shi Chong, the chief of the Cangshi tribe.
"I have sent messengers to Roaring City and Kuangsha City respectively. Your Majesty and the King need explanations." Shi Yong was ambitious: "The people of the Pig tribe are at their end. They urgently need help, and there is no better opportunity than now."
Almost the participants looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes confused.
The clan witch is an elder over fifty years old. He asked on behalf of everyone: "The Pig tribe is very poor. They know nothing about farming. The area where the tribe is located has almost no specialties, and the land is very poor. I occasionally admit that they are indeed very good at fighting. Whether they are hired or actively fighting with other tribes, it is common for the Pig tribe. But I am bluntly saying that I don't think I should have helped them. What's more, the opponent of the Pig tribe is the Cow tribe, who rashly sends troops... what benefits can we get?"
"The reason you refused is just for the benefit?" Shi Yong looked at the clan witch.
The clan witch did not avoid his sharp eyes and looked at him head-on: "Our warriors cannot die in vain, especially this kind of war that cannot see the benefits."
"Then let me tell you the specific benefits!" Shi Yong is not a self-decisive city lord. He answered very simply: "Take our Shajin City as an example, many new fields were opened this spring, very close to the mountains, and you must dig ditches to divert water to irrigate. You have visited those places, and you can only plant potatoes and corn."
"Are we short of food?" Shi Yong's face showed a fierce and rude smile: "The answer is no. Thanks to the gods for giving us these two magical things, our tribesmen will not be troubled by hunger. But other tribes are different. On the one hand, they must provide supplies to the Loong Pass on time, and also send food to the mobs in the northern forbidden zone. It is no exaggeration to say that except for our lion tribe, all tribes on the entire northern continent are not full."
The clan witch frowned and asked, "Sir, we all know what you said. But what does this have to do with sending troops to support the Pig clan?"
Shi Yong did not directly answer: "Which tribe bought the most grain from us?"
Several participants looked at each other, and a commander tentatively replied: "...It seems like they are from the Tiger tribe?"
"That's right, it's the tiger clan." Shi Yong sneered unconcealedly: "There are millions of people in the tiger clan. If they didn't buy grain from us every year, they wouldn't be able to keep it. They have horses, we have corn and potatoes. The tiger clan members look closely at the horses, and stallions never trade. The same is true for us, and we only sell them cornmeal and potato flour. Those things can only be eaten and buried in the ground will never grow."
"The deer tribe, the eagle tribe, the leopard tribe, the Chi tribe, the pig tribe... These tribes are small in size, far less than the tiger tribe. The tiger king has great ambitions. He wants to unify the entire north of the continent, and all tribes have to bow to him. Haha, even I know these things, do you think Your Majesty will ignore it? He knows that the Tiger tribe is the biggest enemy of our lion tribe, and he has to sell so much food to the Tiger King every year. Is Your Majesty stupid?"
The clan witch felt aroused and hurriedly said, "Sir, what do you mean..."
Shi Yong waved his hand and continued the topic just now: "Small tribes have their own meaning. They are short of food, and they also have to buy food from us. Although they buy small amounts, the total number of them is much greater than that of the tiger tribe. More importantly, they have many conflicts and disputes with the tiger tribe. Large-scale wars cannot be fought, but small-scale battles are very frequent. Why do everyone hire Pig tribe people to fight for vanguards? Because the price of hiring Pig tribe is cheap, their soldiers are indeed very good. It is precisely because of the existence of Pig tribe that the Deer tribe dares to send troops to frequently conflict with the Tiger tribe on the border, and the Eagle tribe can repeatedly harass the tiger tribe villages, as well as the Leopard tribe and Chi tribe. They also fight with the Tiger tribe, maintaining a balance state where both sides are crossing the border, but they are very cautious."
"If there is no Pig tribe, these tribes will not dare to challenge the Tiger tribe at all. Even if any of them is gone, the Tiger tribe will be free to deal with the other ones."
"Do you think the tiger tribe can be defeated by the power of the deer tribe alone?"
"The Eagle clan claims to have the best archers in the world. Can they block the millions of troops of the Tiger clan?"
"Not to mention the Chi Clan and the Leopard Clan, it's like two balls of mud that can't be shaken off, but it can make you sick to death. As long as the tiger Clan concentrates its strength to attack, I guess they can't hold on for even a month."
"I understand." The clan witch suddenly realized and nodded frequently: "These tribes have many people, and their attack directions are different. The tiger king also needs to be on guard against us, so he must leave enough troops just in case."
Shi Yong smiled with satisfaction: "This is a delicate balance. At present, our lion tribe is not enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the tiger tribe. It would be better to use these small tribes to continuously consume the power of the tiger tribe. Therefore, Your Majesty is willing to sell the food to them. If it were not to avoid arousing the suspicion of the tiger tribe, the price of food for takeout would be much cheaper than now."
The clan witch asked seriously: "Sir, when will we send troops?"
He was completely convinced.
"I have issued a assembly order, and it will take about two days to prepare logistics supplies. Well, it should be three days... and no more than four days at most. We are just the vanguard, and Your Majesty will be able to send reinforcements soon. As long as you win this battle, the King of Pig will be grateful to us, and maybe they will take the initiative to submit to Your Majesty and become a vassal of our lion clan."
...
This is destined to be a winter full of killing and blood.
A crow flew up from the dead tree with its wings, flew into the sky with a desire for food, and searched carefully the earth.
The huge cattle army has arrived outside the city of Fangya and is surrounded from three different directions to the east, north and west. The camps formed by tents are more than ten miles, including Luzhai, wooden walls, and temporary protection made of snow. There are many plots of soil. The soil near Fangya City is dry and there is not much moisture, so it is difficult to form frozen soil in winter. The ground with less water is very loose. As long as the snow layer is pushed open, it does not take too much effort to dig out a large amount of sand. The cattle soldiers set up a large pot, boiled the snow, and poured the water on the surface of the soil piled into walls. In this extremely cold weather where water drips into ice, they can quickly obtain extremely strong fortifications.
The crow found a corpse, and it flew down happily, standing on almost all the meat pieces on its body were cut off, leaving only a little dark red residual tissue, and picked up a small piece of cold and hard leftover meat from the gap of the dead ribs. With indescribable pleasure and satisfaction, the hard beak opened to the maximum and swallowed the cold and hard deliciousness.
Tianhao stood on the high platform made of ice, snow and sand, squinted his eyes and watched the bird that was brave enough to feed on the battlefield between the two armies for a long time.
The people of the Pig tribe are indeed brave.
The three-city coalition arrived at the periphery of Fangya City at the agreed time. The pigmen in the city were unwilling to be defended. The two sides fought twice. Fangya City sent an army of about 50,000 people in total. The battle face to face was not as powerful as the ones. The powerful gun array commonly used by the Cow Tribe was far less powerful than before. The fearless pig warriors began to accelerate from hundreds of meters away. They had amazing physical strength and endurance, just like a series of high-speed locomotives that were moving hard on the heavily guarded Cow Tribe's heavy shield wall.
Those who dare to rush into the gun array will die. But their deaths are not worthless. The pig warriors following closely behind roared wildly and forced themselves toward the breakthrough in rows. The rapid attack would be difficult to suppress even the bull warriors who were substituting the bench in the back row to complete the replacement position as soon as possible. If it weren't for the Broken Teeth and Quake's resistance with a large number of subordinates, it would be only a matter of time before the collapse of the bull gun formation collapsed.
The Pig Man is indeed the most powerful heavy infantry on this continent. For a long time, the reason why Tianhao won and suffered little casualties in previous battles with the Pig Man was that he was able to plan and successfully lure the Pig Man over the plan and various interests. On the other hand, the number advantage was the key. The Pig Man village with two or three thousand people could not stop the Cattle Army at all, especially when it was not supported. Fear led to despair, which led to psychological collapse.
