Chapter 179: The Villain's Oath
The city was walled on the east, west, north and south, only the defenders on the east wall withdrew, and the other three sides were trying to resist resistance, but their resistance was completely futile, the enemy rushed to it, and the defense line immediately collapsed on the whole line, and the red and blue warriors of the Niu clan drove over the city wall and drove straight in.
After the enemy jumped on the city wall, Wu Zhongyuan immediately opened his bow and released arrows, and there were many enemies who came to attack, and the targets were everywhere, so there was no need to deliberately look for them.
There are houses and buildings in the city that can be used as cover, Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Pingsu gathered in one place to coordinate to resist the enemy, but the enemy was too numerous, and the two could not resist at all, so they could only fight and retreat.
The bow and arrow are not * after all, there is a pause interval every time the bow is fired, the enemy takes the opportunity to advance, Wu Zhongyuan dodges to the south, and Wu Pingsu hides behind a house on the north side, after the enemy rushes in, the two rarely meet, and can only fight separately.
As the saying goes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although there are many ordinary soldiers in the city, but they can only fight with the enemy's ordinary soldiers, and the Niu clan is all red and blue warriors this time, the difference in strength is too great, they bravely rush up at one moment, and the next moment they will fall heroically.
The enemy was not a fool, and soon found out that Wu Zhongyuan was a great threat to them, and assigned several people to keep an eye on him, as soon as he showed his head, several sharp arrows would immediately shoot head-on.
Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to retreat to the central area of the city with the help of the cover of the surrounding buildings.
At this time, Daqiu has been completely lost, and the enemy is pouring in from all directions, these people are the warriors of the Ox Clan, and the attack is very orderly, and they will not chase and kill those ordinary people who are not a threat to them, but only attack the warriors and warriors of the Bear Clan who oppose them.
It would be a big mistake to think that they strictly observed the Geneva Conventions, because not killing at this time does not mean not killing later, and not killing later does not mean not taking prisoners and enslaved them.
It is said that the mourning soldiers will win, but in fact, this is not accurate, in the face of a strong enemy ten times the number of their own, the warriors of Daqiu are completely in a state of passive beating, and they are unable to effectively resist at all.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan's heart became heavier and heavier, and it wouldn't take long for the whole army to be wiped out, and he couldn't wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, there were loud noises near Wu Qin's residence, and smoke and dust were billowing out, needless to say, Wu Qin was fighting against the enemy's purple qi master.
Seeing that the enemies on all sides wanted to converge and encircle, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly looked left and right, trying to find a gap to jump out of the enemy's encirclement, but he was not the only one who could shoot arrows, the other party also had a master of using arrows, and after sensing his intentions, the arrows fired in succession, forcing him to dodge and move to the center of the city.
"Wu Qin, do you still want to do the battle of the trapped beast?" someone not far away made a gloomy voice.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked north when he heard the sound, and saw that Wu Qin was fighting with the three of them, and the ruins were broken within ten zhang.
Outside the battle group stood an emaciated dove-faced old man and a round-faced middle-aged woman, and the three people who fought with Wu Qin were all light purple aura, one of them he had seen before, it was Jiang Zhang who was chasing Wu Chen that day, the dove-faced old man who watched the battle and the middle-aged woman's aura cultivation were all purple qi caves, and it was the old man with the low face who spoke just now.
Wu Qin held the bull dragon gong in his hand, with one enemy and three, and did not answer the old man's words.
"Hand over the bull dragon and we'll retreat immediately. The dove-faced old man's voice was hoarse and low, the voice of a male duck.
Wu Zhongyuan's heart sank when he heard this, and the words of the dove-faced old man confirmed his guess, the husband was not guilty, and this group of people really came to the bull and dragon.
Although Wu Qin was besieged by three people, he did not fall behind, the weapons used by Jiang Zhang and others were damaged to varying degrees at this time, and the bull dragon was extremely hard and indestructible, although they surrounded Wu Qin, they couldn't help it.
Seeing that Wu Qin didn't answer, the dove-faced old man sneered, "Hehe, you have a bull dragon in your hand, so you don't have to worry about the spiritual energy running out, but even if you can get out of the whole body, your wife, children, and you, the people of the city, may retreat with all your body?"
At this time, the red and blue warriors of the Niu clan were compressing the encirclement, and the warriors and soldiers of the bear clan were trapped in a small area less than a hundred zhang outside Wu Qin's residence.
"Are you threatening me?" Wu Qin was furious.
Seeing Wu Qin answer, the dove-faced old man waved his hand at the three people who were besieging him, signaling them to stop for the time being.
Jiang Zhang and others hurriedly retreated, and Wu Qin stood up and chased after him.
"Stop. The dove-faced old man raised his breath and made a sound, dragging his voice.
His words were said by the red and blue warriors on the periphery, and as soon as these words came out, the warriors of the Niu clan immediately suspended their attacks and stopped pushing and pressing.
The dove-faced old man coughed dryly twice and cleared his throat, "You have also seen the current situation, we are prepared, we will not return empty-handed, whether to let us take Niu Longgong, or let us take away Daqiu's thousands of lives, it is up to you." ”
Wu Qin's face was solemn, and he looked at the dove-faced old man coldly.
The dove-faced old man said, "So far, we have not harmed the people of Daqiu, nor have we destroyed your city, I think you should be well aware of the consequences of refusing to hand over the bull dragon. ”
"I know better the consequences of handing over Niu Longgong," Wu Qin sneered disdainfully, "How can you Jiang Baili be a person who keeps his word?"
"Hehe, do you not believe in my character, or are you reluctant to hand over Niu Longgong?" Jiang Baili Pi smiled and did not smile.
Wu Qin replied with a sneer, Jiang Baili's words were obviously sowing discord, insidious and despicable, and his heart was punishable.
Jiang Baili said again, "If you are worried that we will break our promise after handing over the Ox Dragon, instead of coveting the Ox Dragon, I can swear to the sky and feel at ease with you." ”
Wu Qin frowned and was silent.
Wu Zhen saw Wu Qin's expression not far away, and seeing that Wu Qin seemed to be loose, he hurriedly shouted to stop, "My lord, this person is not credible. ”
Jiang Baili followed the source of the voice, glanced at Wu Zhen, and then retracted his gaze to look at Wu Qin, "I swear to the sky, as long as you hand over the Niu Longgong, we will retreat immediately, and we will never hurt innocent people." ”
Seeing that Jiang Baili really swore to the sky, Wu Qin hesitated, and the people at this time attached great importance to the oath, but the fundamental reason for his hesitation was not that Jiang Baili swore an oath, but that he knew very well that if he didn't hand over Niu Longgong, Jiang Baili and the others would definitely wash Daqiu in blood.
"I counted three times, and when I got the bull dragon, we immediately retreated. No, slaughter the city at once. Jiang Baili said, raised his right hand and raised his index finger, "One." ”
"My lord, please think twice!" Wu Zhen reminded anxiously.
"My lord, if you hand over the bull dragon to him, we will have no power to protect ourselves. Wu Dalie was also anxious.
"Hehe, even if he has a bull dragon in his hand, can he pull out to shelter you and wait?" Jiang Baili squinted at Wu Dalie, and then stretched out his middle finger, "Two." ”
It can be seen that Wu Qin is very conflicted at this time, he doesn't believe Jiang Baili, but he also knows very well that if he refuses to hand over Niu Longgong, Jiang Baili will definitely order the slaughter of the city, and he has no time to look around under the siege of Jiang Zhang and others.
"My lord, we are not sorry to die," shouted one of his own warriors, "and the bull dragon is not easy to come by, and it must not fall into their hands." ”
Wu Qin didn't answer, everyone understands the truth, but as a big hill and a mountain, he needs to be responsible for thousands of clansmen, and handing over Niu Longgong to Jiang Baili is equivalent to handing over his life, without Niu Longgong, he has no hope of getting out under the siege of Jiang Baili and others. But if Niu Longgong is not handed over, Jiang Baili and the others will definitely slaughter the city.
At this time, the choice he faced was not whether to hand over Niu Longgong, but whether to exchange his life for fifty percent of the life hope of thousands of people.
"Three. Jiang Baili stretched out his ring finger.
"Wait. Wu Qin raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Jiang Baili, "Honesty is not a bully?"
"If you break your word, your head will be different. Jiang Baili Zhengse said.
Wu Qin closed his eyes and sighed, and threw out the bull dragon gong.
Jiang Baili reached out to catch it, stroked and looked at it.
"Please keep your promises. Wu Qin said in a deep voice.
Jiang Baili showed disdain, "Hehe, do you know what it means to be a soldier who is not tired of cheating?"
Wu Qin's face changed greatly when he heard this, not only him, but the bear people, including Wu Zhongyuan, all gasped, and the thing that everyone was most worried about finally happened.
Jiang Baili stroked Niu Longgong and walked to the side, "The road is too far, it is inconvenient to escort, don't capture the slaves, kill all ......"
