Chapter 447: Stopping the War
Wu Zhongyuan has never seen such a large formation, you must know that at this time, it is not compared to modern times, the three clans together are only one million people, and the Niu clan actually used nearly 100,000 people at a time, which is at least more than eighty percent of the strength of the Niu clan.
The Ox army is stationed in the mountains around the mound, and it is distributed on three sides, southwest and north. Although there were many people, there were not many tents, and most of the soldiers did not have tents, and in addition to the clothes on their bodies, they would carry blankets made of various animal skins to protect them from the cold.
The number of bear soldiers is less than half of that of the Niu tribe, and there are only twenty or thirty thousand people, most of the bear soldiers are stationed in Daqiu City, and the remaining three or four thousand people are distributed in the mountains and forests east of Daqiu, guarding the retreat of the bear people.
When Wu Zhongyuan came, it was snowing in the sky, it stands to reason that it was already winter at this time, and it was normal for snow to fall, but this snow was obviously not a natural phenomenon, because the scope of the snow only covered the North Mountain and West Mountain of the South Mountain where the Niu Clan was located, and not a single snowflake had fallen on the Daqiu and East Mountain, which was obviously caused by the spell cast by the wizard of the Bear Clan.
A large number of bear warriors and ordinary soldiers have gathered on the walls of Daqiu, among which there are many purple qi masters, but there are no wizards on the city walls, and they should be located in the city or in the towers on all sides of the city.
Wu Zhongyuan has some understanding of the strength of the bear clan and the cow clan, and judging from the current situation, both sides have moved out of their families, which is no longer a normal way of playing, this is completely desperate.
All walled castles had large open areas on the periphery, mostly farmland for cultivation, through which the enemy would have to pass through if they wanted to get close to the city in the event of a war. In the absence of cover, the defenders can use their crossbows to effectively block the enemy.
At this time, it was eight o'clock in the morning, the people of the Niu clan were having breakfast, and there was no Huotou Army at this time, the dry food was prepared by themselves when fighting, and each Niu soldier ate different things, although the food was different, but the posture of eating was almost the same, there were good ones and not bad ones, and they tried to eat as much as possible, and did not consider whether the next meal was enough.
Just this posture, even a fool can guess what will happen next, the Niu clan will definitely force the siege, in fact, this kind of terrain is very unfavorable to the attack of the Niu clan, the Niu clan must also know this, knowing that there will be a large number of casualties in the attack, the Niu clan still has to carry out a strong attack, which shows Jiang Zheng's determination, this guy is an old fox who can't afford to make a profit, if he is not really angry, he will never do this kind of lose-lose thing.
Jiang Zheng's mood can be understood, the White Dragon Pill is a sacred relic of the Niu Clan, and it should belong to Jiang Zheng, but it was stolen by Wu Shi, and this matter has spread, no matter what aspect Jiang Zheng has to snatch the White Dragon Pill back, otherwise the clansmen will despise him, and the seal will disappear at the end of next year, Jiang Zheng also urgently needs the White Dragon Pill to improve the strength of his Wagyu Clan.
But he can't understand the actions of the bear clan at this time, you must know that the strength of the bear clan is less than half of the cow clan, even the high-level wizards are counted, all the purple qi masters are only more than 20, less than one-third of the cow clan, in this situation of great disparity in strength, if the bull clan attacks at any cost, the bear clan is definitely not their opponent, the bear clan should understand this, at this time, it is the most correct way to stay and delay behind closed doors, the cow clan expedition, the supply can not keep up, and the cow clan will have to retreat after a few days, but they do the opposite, send the wizard to call the wind and rain to attract wind and snow, this is not forcing the cow clan to attackWhere does the bear clan have the confidence?
If the old blind man learns about this, he will be overjoyed, the old blind man has always hoped that he can dominate the world, before going outside, he wants the bear clan and the cow clan to fight the head and blood, but he does not want the cow clan and the bear clan to go to war, not because he does not want to unify the three clans, but the time is not right, the unification of the three clans will definitely break out of war, even if the three clans are unified, the elite of the various clans will be killed and wounded, what to use to resist the invasion of the five realms, this is not a sandpiper clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman.
Knowing that the war was imminent, Wu Zhongyuan could only be in a hurry, at this time he had no way to come forward, he was a member of the bear clan, and it was impossible to help Jiang Zheng fight the bear clan. Jiang Nan is a member of the Niu Clan, and it is impossible for him to help the Bear Clan fight the Niu Clan.
Not only can't he fight, but he can't even mediate, Wu Xi can't hand over the White Dragon Pill, and Jiang Zheng can't give up the White Dragon Pill, this is a dead knot that can't be untied.
Because the mountains are full of Niu soldiers, Wu Zhongyuan must not get too close, he can only look from a distance, although the trees fall leaves in winter, the branches are very dense, and Jiang Nan can not be seen from a distance.
Seeing others eating, Wu Zhongyuan was also a little hungry, remembering that there was still dry food in the baggage, so he took out a cake and took a bite and found that the taste was wrong, and when he looked down, he found that the cake had grown hair, in fact, dry food can be stored for a long time in winter, but the humidity in the East China Sea is high, and the temperature of Xinyue Island is relatively high, and the dry food is bad.
I opened the baggage and looked at them one by one, picked a moldy one and bit it in my mouth, and the rest could only be thrown away.
At this moment, it was suddenly found that the Niu clan side had moved, the purple gas masters of the Niu clan may have gathered in the tent of the West Mountain to discuss matters, and after the meeting, the purple gas masters left the tent and went everywhere, as long as the aura was used, the complexion would be revealed, the Niu clan had more than 70 purple qi masters, and there were more than 50 of them here, according to the observation of the color, the direction of movement of these purple qi masters was mainly concentrated in the northeast and southeast directions, and the motives were very obvious.
This is not a very smart way to play, at least in his opinion, not smart enough, the net is open, the bear clan can escape after defeat, the whole mound is fenced, it will force the bear clan to fight hard, and the direct consequence is to aggravate the loss of the bull clan. It's not right to say that in order to trap Wu Xi, Wu Xi has Taixuan cultivation, and there is Bailong Dan, no one can run away from him, Jiang Zheng should understand this, what is this old thing thinking?
Not only could he observe the complexion, but also the wizards and warriors of the Bear Clan, who sensed the movement of the Ox Clan's purple qi master, and the Bear Clan actually opened the east gate and withdrew the soldiers and warriors scattered in the East Mountain into the city.
Wu Zhongyuan was already confused, so he couldn't understand it even more, Wu Xi didn't even want a way out, even if the wizard was a few points more powerful than the warrior, but the bear clan occupied an absolute disadvantage in numbers, what did he do when he withdrew the soldiers from Dongshan into the city, was he afraid that he would not be wiped out by the Niu clan?
I just don't understand Jiang Zheng and Wu Xi's motives for doing this, but one thing is certain, that is, the two sides will definitely fight hard and never die.
In fact, it is not completely unreasonable for the old blind man to let him unify the three clans, the old blind man is worried that the three clans will fight separately after the seal disappears, and he is also worried that someone will defect to the enemy, the old blind man means that he would rather unify the three clans after the next game of chess, rather than cooperate with the three clans, because there are variables in cooperation with others, and the three clans are all there, that is, the triple variables, and the old blind man is unwilling to pin his hopes on others.
And his idea is that the four forces are each other's horns, each defending one side, to put it bluntly, there are differences in the strategies of the two, the old blind man hopes to break and stand up, and he wants to join forces.
At this time, the Niu clan had already begun to line up after a full meal, and the mountains and fields were full of black heads, while the bear clan side was also ready, the sword was unsheathed, and the arrow crossbow was stringed.
After the formation, the Niu soldiers began to move towards the edge of the woods, not all Niu people can change the beast body, only the warriors of all levels can change the beast body, the warriors and soldiers are not fighting independently, but the formation form is used to mix operations, the warriors of each level are mixed in the ordinary soldiers, leading the number of soldiers of different numbers, the red, blue and purple ninth-order warriors are somewhat similar to the generals and captains of the later armies of the ninth-level officers.
At this time, the drum will also be beaten, the drum sound from the West Mountain, the drum has two functions, one is to boost morale, and the other is to use the drum beat to pass the order.
At first, the drum beat was very slow, and after half an hour, the drum beat gradually increased, and at this time, the Niu Clan warriors had already completed the formation, leaving the woods to the open area, and the purple qi master stood at the forefront of the team, behind him were dozens of red and blue warriors and more than a thousand soldiers under their command.
After the Niu clan people left the woods, Wu Zhongyuan saw Jiang Nan, Jiang Nan was a cave cultivator, with a light blue aura, wearing a light blue cloak, standing in the queue behind Jiang Zheng.
When he saw Jiang Nan, he also saw Jiang Zheng, before Jiang Zheng left him the impression of a smiling profiteer, but at this time, Jiang Zheng's face was not smiling, there was only indifference and slaughter, the tiger is a tiger after all, and it can't be considered harmless to humans and animals just because it always shows a smile.
At the same time as the Niu Clan completed the procession, Wu Xi also climbed the West Gate Tower accompanied by several purple qi masters, and after Wu Xi appeared, the high-level wizards and purple qi warriors of the bear clan also appeared on the four city walls.
Wu Xi's expression is also very dignified at this time, you can't think that he is useless because this person has a bad character, in fact, Wu Xi also has a certain ability, not only spiritual cultivation, but also IQ is definitely enough, he doesn't know who his mother is, but his father is the big Wu of the bear clan, as the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog, and this half of the royal blood is destined to be not very stupid.
The patriarchs of the two clans did not have any conversation after they appeared, this is not the first battle between the Niu clan and the bear clan, what should have been said should have been said many times before, the two appeared in front of the battle not to negotiate, but to lead the team to fight, as the drum beat became more and more eager, the atmosphere in the field became more and more heavy.
Wu Zhongyuan knew very well what would happen after the drums stopped, and he also knew when the drums would stop, and the drums would stop abruptly at the most urgent time, and as soon as the drums stopped, the war would start immediately.
There are many wizards and warriors on the Daqiu city wall that he knows, and these people are not all Wu Xi's henchmen, many of them are righteous people, like Wu Junyue, Wu Huan and others have never done shady things.
Wu Zhongyuan thought that he could endure it, but when it came to the end, he found that he couldn't bear it at all, he was a member of the bear clan, these people were all his clansmen, and once the war started, most of these people would have to die here.
In addition, Jiang Nan is also in the array of the Niu Clan, once there is a scuffle and the sword has no eyes, who will care what Jiang Nan has to do with him.
There wasn't much time for him to think, and seeing that the drumming was about to stop, Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to leave his hiding place and fall in front of the two armies......
