March, just so quietly passed.

In the blink of an eye, it's April and May.

In the past few months, the entire Southern Wilderness has been calm, and the Feng and Chen families, who had been in constant friction with Wu Qi, have also stopped for the time being, mainly because the entire Southern Wilderness, but all the well-informed forces have been frightened.

Indeed, now the passage to the outside of the Southern Wilderness is controlled by Zhao Cheng, but this does not mean that the Southern Wilderness is completely isolated from the outside world.

It's just that the small roads are difficult to navigate, and they are not suitable for large-scale caravans, or army marches.

In addition, as early as many tens of thousands of years ago, there were Taoist people who domesticated birds, and over the years, even mortals could master the skill of taming animals, which could be used to transmit letters.

In this case, what happened as early as March had spread throughout the Southern Wilderness.

In the face of the destructive force that buried an army of millions, no one can remain calm.

In this case, even if he has thought of it, such a method must be difficult to replicate, otherwise Zhao Cheng would not have to withdraw to the Southern Wilderness, but knowing it will not affect people's fear.

And with the passage of time, more details have also been revealed, for example, the charred corpses within the scope of destruction will actually release a glimmer of light at night, for example, the fertile soil turns into poisonous soil, and ordinary people stay in it for a period of time, they will be poisoned, die in pain, and the medicine stone cannot be saved.

As for the center of the big explosion, everything was destroyed, and even the bones were not left, in this case, the Yellow Sky Army, which was defeated and retreated to the Southern Wilderness, undoubtedly added another layer of mystery.

In the past, the Feng and Chen families were not unaware of the threat of the Ying Tian Army, but compared to the Ying Tian Army, which was farther away, they were more inclined to destroy Wu Qi first, and then punish Ying Tian.

After all, Ying Tianjun is farther away, and it can also be used to destroy Wu.

And now, Wu Qi's old thief deserves to die, but the threat from the Ying Heavenly Army has to make them pay attention to it, and they still understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so that the gods of the Ying Heavenly Army are strange, if Wu Qi is defeated, it will be their turn in the future.

But the problem is, if the gods cannot be replicated, and the Yingtian Army, a group of troops that retreated from Qingzhou, is not as strong as they expected, wouldn't it be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate the Wu thief? !

Now that Wu Qi is surrounded by two forces, it is undoubtedly his weakest time.

In this case, the Feng and Chen families can only stand still for the time being, in order to think about it, and now the two families can also be said to be arguing.

Some people believe that since ancient times, those who hold the mandate of heaven have not long been exhausted by one drum, two by one, and exhausted by three, so it is better to sit back and watch Wu Qi and Ying Tianjun fight, so that the two sides will consume each other, and when the time is ripe, they will send troops in one fell swoop to destroy Wu thieves, cut Ying Tian, and divide the southern wilderness into two parts.

Some people also believe that Ying Tian is too evil, since his debut, there are too many miracles, and he can't stay for a long time, so why not unite with Wu Qi, sweep away Ying Tian with one body, and then follow up.

Compared with the second theory, there are undoubtedly more supporters of the first theory.

United, it's easy to say, but the reality is that even if you really take Wucheng, it is likely to help Wu Qi recover Wucheng, after all, what borders Wucheng is Wu Qi's territory.

Of course, the most important thing is that what Ying Tianjun shows now is full of miracles, not hard power, if Ying Tianjun has a large army of two or three hundred thousand, the three will definitely unite without hesitation, but now, the entire Ying Tianjun is only 70,000, and the territory is only a small Wucheng, and in a short period of time, there is no development at all.

"Meat eaters are contemptible, and they can't plan far away!"

In the barracks of the Wu family's army, Wu Qi looked in the direction of the Feng and Chen families, and his heart was agitated.

He was undoubtedly older than he had been months ago, with gray hair, deep wrinkles, and black age spots.

Before the Ying Tian army withdrew to the Southern Wilderness, he attacked Wucheng several times, but all of them were unsuccessful, and now, the Ying Tian army absorbed the old department of Huang Tian, which is more difficult to fight, and he is not a person who is willful, seeing that he can't do anything for the time being, he does not force the attack, but wants to wait for the time.

But the more he waited, the more anxious he became, especially the fine work in the city, and the news passed to him made him have a strong bad premonition.

Of course, the top-secret matter of the musket, the entire Ying Tianjun, at present, only those Taoists know, even if the Wu family has been deeply cultivated in Wucheng for many years and left many shadows, but these secrets are just some civilians, and now they are all apprentices and classes, and they can't get in touch with the core of the Ying Tianjun at all.

But even those things that are not top secrets still make him feel frightened, if he really allows Zhao Cheng to develop for two or three years, I am afraid that it will be really bad in the future.

As far as Wucheng is concerned, the total population is more than 500,000 or nearly 600,000 on the surface, but in fact, there are many people in the city who are black households and do not have household registration, which is not a secret.

In the entire Wucheng, even after Zhao Cheng's several purges, the current population is at least more than 600,000.

More than 600,000 people, according to Zhao Cheng's current system, except for the old, weak, women and children, it can be said that all the soldiers are soldiers.

The old and weak women and children learn the craft of making clothes and armor, and the young and strong learn the craft of making bows and crossbows, and these young and strong, when they are not fighting, they can make armaments, and when they are fighting, they don't need too much training, they only need everyone to match crossbows, form a formation, and then pull the trigger.

This means that if Zhao Cheng is really given time, the follow-up opponent can easily create an archer with a number of up to 200,000 outside the main force of the Ying Tian Army.

As for the problem of resources, Wucheng is backed by mountains, there is no shortage of wood and stones, as for leather and silk cloth, Zhao Cheng copied so many homes, and brought back countless resources from Qingzhou, and in a few years, it is impossible to consume them completely.

And this, not counting the population brought back by Zhao Cheng from Qingzhou, how many people are in this group, Wu Qi's fine work is too low to know at all, but how can there be one or two hundred thousand.

200,000 archers, plus 70,000, rounded off, that is 300,000 troops, such power, this Southern Wilderness, who can stop it?!

This kind of war potential, Wu Qi is shocked when he thinks about it.

But he can't learn from Zhao Cheng, the reason why Zhao Cheng can do this is because Wucheng is now a lonely city, and all forces have been killed by Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng can naturally do whatever he wants, but he can't.

Not to mention anything else, if you cancel the currency and use merit instead, he can't do it at all.

And if he can't do it, many of the people under his rule are actually the private property of the local tyrants, and besides, he doesn't have enough money and food to support so many people out of production.
