Section 212 You are not a soldier
Broken Tooth is pleased with the new armor on his body.
That day, I met a very big guy, the other party wheeled up the long knife and slashed down, and the broken teeth who didn't have time to dodge felt that they must be finished, but I didn't expect the blade to leave a shallow mark on the shoulder armor, although the whole shoulder armor was concave towards the middle under the pressure of huge force, but it was not broken, nor broken.
Broken Tooth felt like his bones were about to break. Fortunately, he reacted flexibly, screamed sideways and shrank into the spear array, several bull warriors immediately rushed forward, four spears stabbed into the man's body from different directions at the same time, he was furious, spurting blood like a madman and slashing indiscriminately, but the spear was firmly fixed in place like nails, and finally shed blood and could no longer move.
There are many problems that can be found by comparison. The cult of Tianhao by the lucky survivor of Broken Tooth reached its peak.
"You must think that fighting a war is an easy thing. Even if it is a pig with a reputation for brute bravery, it is not worth mentioning at all. Because you've won too many battles, that's how the steel teeth used to be, and what the mad teeth did later...... Hehe......" Tianhao turned his back to Broken Tooth and looked into the distance with a deep gaze, where there were tall and rough city walls.
The sub-armed Broken Tooth stood behind Tianhao. At this moment, his mind was filled with awe of the young city lord. Broken Tooth didn't know how to answer, and could only maintain a silence that was suppressed by Tianhao's majesty.
"There are many factors that go into winning, but the key is organization and information. Whether it's Steel Tooth or Mad Fang, or Fierce Tooth that we killed some time ago, they don't get any information about us. It's like you can't see the position of your opponent, no matter how strong you are, no matter how skilled you are, it's useless. We surrounded their stockades and concentrated our superior forces to attack, and no matter how brave the pig warriors were, we could not change the situation of inevitable defeat. I know that they are very brave and not afraid of death, but they must consider the safety of their families, and the various conditions given to them are very generous, so the previous battles are not difficult to fight, and they can even be said to be simple and easy. β
"It's different now. All branches of the Pig Clan were annexed by us, and they brought the news to Fangs at the last moment. The various villages in the territory directly under the Pig King are prepared, and I believe you have felt it from the previous battles. Our casualties were much higher than before, so we simply slowed down our attacks, gave them time to leave the village, and concentrated on Fangs. β
Broken Tooth felt his heart twitch suddenly, and he muttered to himself, "Fight a large-scale decisive battle? β
"Solve all problems at once." Tianhao put his hands behind his back and stood tall in the cold wind: "You are a pig, but I have never had the idea of tribal differences. Crooked Tooth recommended you to me, and I trusted his vision, so I let you join the Guard, and also offered you a high position, but I was disappointed by your performance...... Really disappointed. β
A look of shame appeared on Broken Tooth's face, and his face was red.
"You are not an ordinary warrior, but a commander." Tian Hao still turned around, and in doing so, he could maintain enough mystery and absolute majesty: "I know that you are very good at fighting, even without the help of others, you can still take out that seemingly powerful opponent." But so what? He was just one of the many warriors of the Pig Clan, and there were hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of people like him. But you are different, you are unique, you have my approval, I will give you more power, if you die, it will be a great loss to me and to Rock City. β
"Plop!" Kneeling heavily on the ground, mixed with the impact of harsh metal armor, the body of the broken teeth trembling with shame: "...... My lord, I was wrong. β
"It's not that I don't disagree with bravery, but I value a good commander more than a good commander. There are many ways to kill an enemy: concentrated bow and arrow shooting, multiplayer coordinated attacks, traps, throwing guns, and even poison...... Fighting alone with a strong sense of ritual is stupid, and any means is right as long as the end is achieved. Remember who you are: you are a commander, a commander, not an ordinary soldier. β
After a pause, Broken Tooth heard something that made his heart surge and his blood surge.
"We've seen the rise of Rock City together, and I'll remember the names of all the people who worked hard for it. Broken Tooth, you are my brother. Keep this in mind and live well. β
Tianhao stared at the crow standing on the skeleton in the distance, his calm lips slightly curved, revealing a nice smile.
Birds, pigeons, eagles......
The ancient means of communication must be modified, and the speed of information transmission largely determines the outcome of a war.
Barbarians can tame even black howling wolves, so why can't they tame birds to pass on information?
It's worth trying.
β¦β¦
Pinglin Village dispatched 600 fighters and 1,600 auxiliary personnel, for a total of 2,200 people.
It's almost pouring out of the nest.
Guang Tao held a branch and wrote and drew on the snow, counting various numbers.
"Daddy, we've lost one hundred and thirty-three people." He looked at his father Guangsheng who was standing opposite and said cautiously.
Guangsheng wore a beautiful set of homogeneous steel armor, showing his burly figure more and more. Unable to care about his personal appearance during the war, his beard had not been shaved for a long time, and the thick and piercing growths looked like steel needles, looking rough and fierce.
"It's not a big deal." Guangsheng is very satisfied with the current income: "We have taken back more than 3,000 pig captives one after another, and Ah Hao promised to give us some after he conquered Fangfang City. I estimate that at least around a thousand, and the total will not be less than five thousand. β
Guangtao is no longer the young man who didn't understand anything a few years ago and was often dominated by emotions. He threw away the branch in his hand, moved his arm quite excitedly, and smiled at his father in a low voice: "If we continue like this, it won't take long for our Pinglin Village to have a population of more than 10,000, and then you will be the city lord." β
An unconcealable joy flashed in Guangsheng's eyes. There is no one left and right, and some things that I don't dare to say at ordinary times have no scruples in front of my son at this time: "You just know about this, don't spread it out." β
"I understand." Guang Tao nodded again and again.
"Also, you have to have absolute respect for Ah Hao." Speaking of this, Guangsheng suddenly became very serious: "If it weren't for Ah Hao, we wouldn't have been able to follow him to pick up such a big bargain this time." Come to think of it, that's thousands! In fact, the strength of the Rock City Warband is very strong, and he can solve the problem without our participation at all. What's more, this time the king sent the main force of Thunder Horn City, and Yuanshui City is also an alliance. In a war of this level, it is simply not our turn to speak. β
Guangtao has a deep understanding of this.
"Go back and explain to the people below, and let them stay for a while when the city is broken. Ah Hao doesn't like gold and silver, there must be one in Fangs City, look carefully when the time comes, and we will never shirk when we can help. β
Guangtao nodded and asked, "Daddy, what do you say Ah Hao wants so much gold for?" That thing can't be eaten or worn, and the patriarch also levied it a few years ago, and the amount he got was not much, so he didn't mention it later. β
"It's going to work. In short, if you don't understand things, don't speculate. Don't worry, Ah Hao is not the kind of person who eats alone, as long as we cooperate and do what he says, he will not forget us. β
Guangsheng is very sure about this.
Guang Tao smiled and said casually: "Daddy, at the military meeting that day, Ah Hao said that as long as seven black smoke rises in Fangfang City, it will be the signal for us to attack. Hehe...... It's freezing on this day, when do you have to wait? β
Guangsheng turned around, stared at the tall city wall in the distance, and said slowly: "Be patient, since Ah Hao said that black smoke is a signal, we will wait in peace." He's a smart guy who doesn't talk nonsense, and he doesn't perfunctory us in such things. β
β¦β¦
Fangs City, the royal palace.
The long bar table was full of food, the young and beautiful princess sat at the head of the long table, the great master Witch Mane sat on the left, and opposite was the grim-looking leader of the personal guard, Crocodile Tooth.
The princess raised her glass, but the witchmane and crocodile tooth did not respond. As the Great Master got older, she put her hands on the table, and seemed to be interested in the silver plate in front of her, and she couldn't stop looking at it slowly. With a cold look on his face, he crossed his arms in front of him, leaning against the back of his chair, and sat up straight.
"Can we talk?" The princess changed her previous demeanor and looked pitiful, not so much a discussion as a pleading.
"What do you want to talk about?" Witchmane always had that polite smile on her face, and those who knew her well knew that this kind of sign did not mean anything.
"I don't want to go on like this." The princess bit her lip hard, then let go, she seemed to have made up her mind: "Great Master, I just want the position of a city lord, just like Shaya, is it okay?" β
After her words, Witchmane and Crocodile couldn't help but look at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Sand Tooth is the patriarch of the Crazy Fang Tribe, and he is also the eldest son of the Pig King. He is dead, and the entire Mad Fang Division has been swallowed up by Tianhao and returned to Rock City.
There are some things that don't need to be said too publicly, the position of a city lord...... This means that the princess has completely abandoned the fight and is no longer focused on putting her son on the throne, but is taking a step back and seeking the next best?
A look of surprise flashed in the depths of the crocodile eyes, and he looked at the princess coldly, and his attitude did not loosen at all: "We don't count this kind of thing, if there is no edict from the king, it can't be divided." β
During this time, the crocodile has been busy with the defense and maintenance of the entire city. The Ox came so quickly that many of the fortifications were not built. Crocodile sent an army on a tentative attack, which resulted in the loss of several thousand men. While shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Niu people, he also strengthened his idea of sticking to and waiting for help. Fangs now concentrates most of the population and food in the direct territory of the Pig King, and can last for a long time under the premise of rationing.
The pig king is terminally ill and may die at any time.
From last month to now, the princess has invited many times in a row, and the crocodile tooth has ignored it. He felt that this woman was really ridiculous, and the biggest and only card in her hand was His Majesty. She used to be arrogant, but now she was like a poor cat cowering in a corner and shivering, losing her fanfare and putting away her paws, but if she felt that she could change her attitude by praying, it would be the biggest joke in the world.
If it weren't for the words of the Great Master Witch Mane, Crocodile Tooth would not have come to this place at all.
He could guess a little bit of Witchmane's thoughtsββββ standing on the common interest, Witchmane also needed the support of the princess. After all, royal civil strife is not a good thing, and it will allow other members of the royal family to see opportunities and participate in the competition. It's just a matter of peacetime, but now it's a time of war, and everything is focused on repelling foreign enemies.
Just come over for a meal, there's no need to get into a fight, at least for now.
What's more, the princess's attitude has also improved significantly, she has taken a big step back, and no longer has the luxury of fighting for the throne for her son, as long as there is a city lord.
The problem is that Crocodile doesn't even want a city lord to give her.
The current situation is different from before, Crocodile has a lot of confidence to defend Fangfang City, and the messenger who went out to ask for help has also sent back a message that the Lion City Lord of Broken Gold City has sent troops and will not be long before it arrives.
Military power is the greatest right to speak, and Crocodile has reason to believe that he is the next pig king.
Since you are infinitely close to the throne and have it at your fingertips, why should I give you what is about to belong to me?
Witchmane coughed lightly and smiled slowly.
"Your Highness, you are right to think so. We are all very worried about Your Majesty's condition, the current situation is not very good, the Niu people have gathered a large army outside the city and are ready to attack at any time, and it is not appropriate to discuss the question of who will succeed to the throne at this time. Since His Highness is willing to back down, we can't do without it. In this way, when you win the Niu people this time, Your Highness can take the little prince to build a city in any place. β
Crocodile didn't expect Witch Mane to say this, he opened his mouth in shock and looked at the other side, not knowing what to say for a while, but saw Witch Mane half on his side, waving his hand slightly at himself from a hidden angle that the princess couldn't see...... Sharp Tooth, who was in a depressed mood, had no choice but to close his mouth and swallow the sullen breath fiercely.
The princess hurriedly left her chair, came to the witch mane, and bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Great Master." β
Witchmane watched her salute very patiently, straightened up again, and then smiled politely, and said, "We are of the same kind, not enemies, as long as Your Highness is reasonable, things will be as simple as they are now." β
The princess smiled and nodded, and only when she got close enough could she see that the corners of her eyes were twitching, and she didn't know if it was out of excitement or anger.
Witchmane was unaware of this, she sat on the chair, and asked lightly, "Everything that needs to be said has been said, Your Highness, can you let me and Lord Crocodile be alone for a while?" β
This is actually a bit unreasonable, but in Wu Mane's opinion, he is already in control, and etiquette or anything is no longer important.
