() Tianhao thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little information: "Zonggu City Lord, in fact, Fangs City is not as difficult to fight as you imagined. ”

Zong Gu smiled, he moved his body forward a little, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Hao, listen to your meaning, you also arranged Neiying in that city?" ”

"Sort of!" Tianhao replied ambiguously, the situation is unclear now, and he does not intend to reveal too much on this issue.

Zong Gu had a solemn expression on his face: "In this way, we should still make a quick decision. ”

Black Fang City is the best example of this, that battle was fought easily, and Zonggu is still very impressive.

"It has to be done quickly." Tianhao didn't want to mislead him: "I got the news that King Pig is seriously ill, and all affairs in Fangs City are currently presided over by the national master Witchmane. ”

"Witchmane?" Zong Gu found all kinds of pictures about this person from the depths of his memory, and asked suspiciously: "I remember that she is a wizard, why does she still understand military affairs?" ”

"The Pig Clan doesn't have many troops left, and as you just said, Fangfang City is short of food and can't last long. They had to call for help from other tribes, and that was the only way out. ”

This is information that neither Thunder Point nor Yuanshui City has.

Zong Gu suddenly became serious, and Liao Qiu and Gangdian also became cold.

"Ah Hao, who do you think will send troops to support them?" Zong Gu asked seriously.

"I don't know." Tianhao said calmly: "The Tiger Clan, the Lion Clan, the Deer Clan, and the Eagle Clan...... Anyone is possible. ”

He added a dry twig to the fire, and it burned with a "crackling" sound.

"But it's unlikely that these tribes will send troops." Liao Qiu's crooked lips were a little leaky when he spoke: "They have fought with each other, and some of them are still blood feuds that never die, and it is impossible for them to cooperate." ”

"You're right." Tianhao played with a piece of firewood that he had just held in his hand, and his fingers gently rubbed the rough section with a strong prickly feeling: "There will not be more than two clans to send troops to support Fangfang City at the same time, but the possibility of one of the clans sending troops cannot be ruled out." ”

"We have to fix the problem before it gets worse." Zong Gu straightened his body: "When are we going to act?" ”

"How's it going to be the day after tomorrow?" Tianhao is not arbitrary. He counted the time and gave everyone an extra day.

"Then we will set off the morning after tomorrow and target Fangs City." Liao Qiu replied resolutely.

……

Leon territory, the lion tribe, the broken gold city.

Also walking out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Yuan's mood was completely different from when he was in Yuanshui City a few days ago, full of sunshine, dominated by a strong sense of satisfaction and excitement, and even his steps became brisk.

As it turns out, the Tiger people are brainless fools.

As it turned out, I was still very wise and visionary.

The messengers were still gathered together and whispered, and the tall and burly captain approached, looked at Wu Yuan, who was in high spirits, and asked uncertainly, "How was the conversation going this time?" ”

"Shiyong City Lord promised to send troops in three days." Wu Yuan lowered his voice, pretending to mysteriously stretch out the five fingers of his left hand: "Fifty thousand people." ”

Captain Pig couldn't help but gasp, and surprise floated in his expression: "Really? ”

Wu Yuan nodded: "The Tiger Clan people don't have any knowledge at all. They only wanted to get benefits, and never thought that the two races were actually one and the same. If the pig clan collapses, it won't do them any good. ”

The captain of the pig man nodded again and again, he now believed that this bull clan wizard was really thinking about his own race, although Wu Yuan's approach was very strange, he was not a pig man, but an enemy of his own race.

"Where are we going now?" Captain Pig asked earnestly.

Wu Yuan shook a scroll of animal skins on his right hand: "Shi Yong City Lord wrote two documents, let me help him give them to the other two Lion Clan City Lords." He will send someone to Roaring City to meet His Majesty the Lion King and explain the situation. ”

An indescribable excitement instantly surged into the heart of the captain of the pigs: "Will His Majesty the Lion King help us?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Wu Yuan's eyes seemed to shake Tianhao's body hanging high on a wooden pole, and the thrill of revenge burned in his body, even the cold wind blowing from his face like a knife didn't care. He clenched the animal skin scroll in his hand hard: "Let's go, don't waste time, the more reinforcements the better, the sooner we complete the task, the sooner we can return to Fangs City." ”

……

The Mansion of the Lord of Broken Gold City.

Shi Yong is a man with a gloomy face, the most prominent part of his facial features is his eyes, the eye sockets are large, but the eyelids are habitually pressed down, most of the time his head is slightly lowered, and the bottom-up gaze makes people very uncomfortable, like being stared at by a hostile beast.

Including him, there were five people sitting in the living room———— the witches, and three commanders in charge of military affairs.

Looking around, Shi Yong was very satisfied with this dull and oppressive atmosphere. He cleared his throat: "You all know the situation, I decided to send troops." ”

One of the commanders hesitated and asked, "Your Excellency, this is too hasty, isn't it?" Shouldn't I ask the king for advice? ”

The "great king" he refers to Shi Chong, the patriarch of the Cangshi tribe.

"I have sent messengers to Roaring City and Wild Sand City respectively, and your Majesty and the King need explanations there." Shi Yong is ambitious: "The people of the Pig tribe are exhausted, they urgently need help, and there is no better opportunity than now." ”

Almost all the participants looked at each other, bewildered by each other's eyes.

The clan witch, an elder who is over half a hundred years old, asked on behalf of everyone: "The pig tribe is very poor, they don't know anything about farming, the area where the tribe is located has almost no special products, and the land is very poor. I do admit, they are very good at fighting, whether they are hired or take the initiative to wage war with other tribes, it is common for the pig tribe to fight. With all due respect, I don't think I should have done them a favor. What's more, this time, the opponent of the pig people was the Niu tribe, and they rashly sent troops...... What benefits do we get? ”

"The reason for your refusal is simply for the sake of benefit?" Shi Yong looked at the clan witch.

The clan witch did not avoid his sharp gaze and looked at him head-on: "Our warriors cannot die in vain, especially this kind of war with no benefits. ”

"Then let me tell you the specific benefits!" Shi Yong is not an arbitrary city lord, he replied very simply: "Take our broken gold city as an example, a lot of new fields were opened this spring, and they are very close to the mountains, and they must dig ditches to divert water to irrigate. You've all been to see those places, and you can only grow potatoes and corn. ”

"Are we short of food?" Shi Yong showed a somewhat fierce and ruffian smile on his face: "The answer is no. Thanks to the gods who have given us these two miraculous things, our people will not be plagued by hunger. But the other ethnic groups are different, on the one hand, they have to provide food on time to Suolongguan, and they also have to send food to the mob in the northern forbidden area. It is no exaggeration to say that except for our lion clan, all the tribes in the entire northern continent are not full. ”

The clan witch frowned and asked, "My lord, we all know what you said. But what does this have to do with sending troops to support the pig tribe? ”

Shi Yong didn't answer directly: "Which tribe bought the most grain from us?" ”

Several participants looked at each other, and one of the commanders tentatively replied, "...... Seems to be a Tiger Clan? ”

"That's right, it's the Tiger Clan." Shi Yong let out an undisguised sneer: "There are millions of people in the Tiger Clan, if it weren't for buying food from us every year, they wouldn't be able to survive at all. They have horses, we have corn and potatoes, the tigers watch the horses very closely, and the stallions never trade. We do the same, we only sell them cornmeal and potato flour, which can only be eaten, buried in the ground and never grow. ”

"The Deer Clan, the Eagle Clan, the Leopard Clan, the Cantine Clan, the Pig Clan...... These tribes are small in size and are far less large than the Tiger Clan. The Tiger King has great ambitions, he wants to unify the entire northern part of the continent, and all the tribes have to bow down to him. Hehe, even I know these things, do you think Your Majesty will turn a blind eye? Knowing that the Tiger Clan is the biggest enemy of our Lion Clan, and he still sells so much grain to the Tiger King every year, is Your Majesty stupid? ”

The clan witch's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, what do you mean......"

Shi Yong waved his hand and continued the topic just now: "Small tribes have their own meaning of existence, they are also short of food, and they also want to buy food from us. Despite their small purchases, the total number of them can add up to much more than the Tiger Clan. What's more, they are full of contradictions and disputes with the Tiger Clan. Large-scale wars cannot be fought, but skirmishes are frequent. Why does everyone hire pigs to play as strikers? Because the price of hiring the pig tribe is cheap, their warriors are indeed very good. It is precisely because of the existence of the Pig Clan that the Deer Clan dares to send troops to clash frequently with the Tiger Clan on the border, and the Eagle Clan can repeatedly harass the Tiger Clan villages, as well as the Leopard Clan and the Cockroach Clan, and they are also fighting back and forth with the Tiger Clan, maintaining a state of balance that both sides are crossing the line, but they are very cautious. ”

"If there were no pig tribes, these tribes would not dare to take the initiative to challenge the tiger tribe. Even if any one of these tribes dies down, the Tiger Clan will be able to free up their hands to clean up the others. ”

"Do you think the Tiger Clan can be defeated by the strength of the Deer Clan alone?"

"The Eagle Clan claims to have the best archers in the world, can they hold off the Tiger Clan's million-strong army?"

"Not to mention the Leopard Clan and the Leopard Clan, like two lumps of mud that can't be shaken off, but can disgust you to death. As long as the Tiger Clan concentrates on attacking, I don't think they will be able to hold out for even a month. ”

"I see." The clan witch suddenly realized and nodded frequently: "There are many people in these tribes, and each of them attacks in different directions. At the same time, the Tiger King has to guard against us, so he must set aside enough troops just in case. ”

Shi Yong smiled with satisfaction: "This is a delicate balance. At present, our lion clan is not enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the tiger clan, and it is better to use these small tribes to continuously consume the strength of the tiger clan. Therefore, His Majesty is willing to sell the grain to them, if it were not for the suspicion of the Tiger Clan, the price of the grain sold out would be much cheaper than it is now. ”

The clan witch asked seriously, "My lord, when are we going to send troops?" ”

He was convinced.

"I have already issued a rally order, and it will take about two days to prepare the logistics. Well, it should be three days...... No more than four days. We are only in the vanguard, and Your Majesty will soon be able to send reinforcements. As long as we win this battle, the Pig King will be grateful to us, and maybe he will take the initiative to serve His Majesty and become a vassal of our lion clan. ”

……

It was destined to be a winter full of carnage and blood.

A crow flutters its wings and flies up from a dead tree, soaring into the sky with a thirst for food, carefully searching the earth.

The huge Ox army has arrived outside Fangfang City and is surrounded from three different directions: east, north, and west. The tented camp stretched for more than a dozen miles, with deer, wooden walls, and temporary protection made of snow, and mud dug up on many plots, and the soil near Fangfang City was dry and did not have much water, making it difficult to form frozen soil in winter. The ground with little water is loose, and it doesn't take much effort to dig out a lot of sand as long as the snow layer is pushed away. The Ox warriors set up cauldrons, boiled the snow, and poured water on the surface of the soil that was piled up into the walls, and in this extremely cold weather, the dripping water turned into ice, and quickly obtained extremely strong fortifications.

The crow found a corpse, flew down happily, stood on the white bones of the forest where almost all the flesh had been cut off from the top and bottom of the body, and only a few dark red remnants of tissue remained, and picked up a small piece of cold and hard leftover meat from the gap between the deceased's ribs, and with indescribable pleasure and satisfaction, the hard beak stretched to the maximum, and swallowed the cold and hard delicacy raw.

Tianhao stood on a high platform made of ice, snow and sand, squinting his eyes for a long time at the bird that had the audacity to eat in the middle of the battlefield between the two armies.

The people of the pig tribe are indeed brave.

The three-city coalition army arrived at the outskirts of Fangfang City at the appointed time, and the pigs in the city were not willing to defend, and the two sides fought twice, and Fangfang City sent a total of about 50,000 troops. In the face-to-face fight, there is no advantage of sneak attack, and the power of the gun array commonly used by the Niu clan is far less than before. The fierce pig warriors began to accelerate from a distance of hundreds of meters, and they had amazing physical strength and endurance, like a train of high-speed locomotives, smashing holes into the heavily guarded bull shield wall.

Whoever dares to rush into the guns will die. But their deaths were not worthless. The pig warriors who followed closely behind let out a wild roar, and forced them to press towards the breakthrough in a row, and the rapid attack was difficult to suppress even the Niu Clan warriors who were substituted in the back row to complete the filling position in the first place. If it weren't for the Broken Tooth and Curved Tooth with a large number of men to resist head-on, it would only be a matter of time before the Ox Clan's gun formation collapsed.

The Pig People are indeed the toughest heavy infantry on the continent. For a long time, the reason why Tianhao won in the previous battles with the pig tribe and did not suffer many casualties was that on the one hand, he strategized, and also successfully lured the pig people with various interests and various interests. On the other hand, numerical superiority is the key, and a village of two or three thousand people cannot stop the Niu army, especially if there is no reinforcement, fear leads to despair, which in turn causes a psychological breakdown.

It's better to die than to live, so ...... Surrender!
