Chapter 208 had an easy start
Yan Xu learned what happened during this time from Liu Bei's mouth, it turned out that as the two fierce gods gradually opened their minds, they actually knew how to subdue those evil beasts and fierce beasts as their subordinates, and not long ago, they also drove many evil beasts and large groups of fierce beasts to attack the city.
The head of the Eight Mountains who held his own identity naturally would not make a move, after all, all their minds had been occupied by those two fierce gods, so only Liu Bei's four daughters and the tens of thousands of troops prepared by the imperial court were in the battle.
Frowning, Yan Xu didn't know where the two fierce gods found the beasts that could threaten tens of thousands of troops, you must know that each beast is a predator, occupying a considerable territory, if you want to gather a beast that can threaten tens of thousands of troops, you have to gather a range of beasts, think about it to know how difficult it is, and this is not the hardest, the most difficult thing is the food consumed along the way.
Unlike brute beasts, even the brute beasts at the bottom of the food chain have strong lethality, and they can form a complete food chain by themselves, and they can run long distances to form a beast tide, but ordinary beasts are impossible to do, so summoning so many fierce beasts to come, the food consumed along the way can only be humans, and it has to be a large-scale human habitation.
With the addition of evil beasts, not to mention villages and towns, even the county town can't stop this group of fierce beasts, and the number of dead and injured people during this period is unimaginable.
Yan Xu didn't think that only he could think of this, but looking at these people on the city wall, none of them mentioned this matter, so he lowered his head and continued to ask Liu Bei.
Last time, the beast tide caused a lot of losses to the imperial army, especially the participation of many evil beasts, if it weren't for Liu Bei and others to go into battle to stop those evil beasts, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much left of these tens of thousands of troops.
However, when a few fierce beasts also came on the field, even the four girls who were originally the protagonists became the soy sauce party, after all, it was okay to deal with a fierce beast with their strength, and it was okay to deal with a group of vicious beasts plus a few fierce beasts, and there were two fierce gods whose strength was above the fierce beasts, I am afraid that it would not even be enough to plug the gaps between the teeth.
Just when everyone was about to despair, the two national teachers came out and summoned all the immortals to fight off the fierce beast together, and won the gratitude of the whole city, hundreds of people put incense tables on the street to worship these living immortals, and even the princes and ministers did not dare to be disrespectful in the face of the immortals, for fear of being killed by a thunderbolt.
Yan Xu was talking to Liu Bei, but he didn't know that he had aroused the curiosity of the two princes and the ministers, after all, these people were also human spirits, and a little sign made them find that this new immortal didn't seem to be the same as the previous immortal.
At present, the eight immortals are as if they have said that they will support one prince for every four people, resulting in the balance of power between the two princes, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner from the loser, but the appearance of this ninth immortal is obviously the key to breaking the balance.
Even if the problem of the fierce god has not been solved now, the hearts of these people have turned countless turns, and countless calculations and schemes are as out of control as the flooding of rivers, it is conceivable that these are already their instincts, and it is estimated that they can't change it if they are ghosts.
Yan Xu sensed the thoughts of these people to some extent, but he remained silent, now he has been isolated by the head of the Eight Mountains, although he also knows that this isolation cannot last too long, after all, the heads of the Eight Mountains are also filthy and filthy, and they are also superficially harmonious with each other, in fact, they don't know how to kill each other in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the eight people are all heads of one faction, representing their respective sects, killing them will definitely stab the hornet's nest, and they would have already been hacked.
For Yan Xu, the attitudes of these eight people are also different, some want to suppress, some don't care, some want to win him over, and some even plan to control him, anyway, eight people have eight thoughts, but now that eight people are not enough to divide these two fierce gods, how can Yan Xu be added again.
This also means that as long as this matter is over, the camp that rejects Yan Xu will collapse.
But how could Yan Xu be indifferent to this, after all, he also wanted those two fierce gods, if he hadn't been stared at too closely, he would have the heart to take the Xuanyin Gathering Beast Banner and secretly slaughter those two fierce gods.
At present, all the people on the city gate have ghosts in their hearts, and they have their own little abacus, but whether they can get their best in the end depends on their own strength.
Feeling the huge vicious momentum in the distance gradually approaching, Yan Xu asked Liu Bei and the others to stand behind him and wait quietly.
It is still very shocking that tens of thousands of jackals, tigers and leopards are swarming like a tide, especially for the soldiers under the city, even if they are well-dressed in armor and have sharp swords in their hands, they have lost many of their companions in the last battle.
Unfortunately, they were soldiers and could only obey orders, so even if they were afraid, they could only face these beasts with their backs to the walls.
Yan Xu was originally very strange, the walls of the imperial city were seven or eight zhang high, except for a few feline beasts, other beasts wanted to come up is basically a dream, why not let the soldiers go up to the city wall to occupy the geographical advantage, but after looking at the jade seal on the table between the two princes, he understood.
Now the two fierce gods dare not go into battle in person, mainly because the jade seal has mobilized the human luck to envelop the imperial city, but the beasts don't care about any human luck, and their blood will also weaken the human luck, so they can't fight on the city wall.
Another reason is that their opponents are not only those fierce beasts, but also an unknown number of evil beasts and fierce beasts, the city walls are not as useful as imagined for these powerful monsters, and once they rush into the city, it will be difficult for the soldiers who cannot set up a position to restrict their movements, so even if they know that they will suffer heavy losses, for the safety of the imperial city or the prince and the ministers, the soldiers still have to fight outside the city.
Fortunately, although the beast is terrifying, it is still not enough to see under the war monster composed of human soldiers, and the rain of arrows formed by thousands of archers is simply like the stomach acid of the monster is rapidly devouring the lives of countless beasts, and occasionally there are large beasts with thick fur rushing to the front of the battle array, but in front of the spears erected by countless spearmen, being stabbed into a sieve is their only fate.
The blood of the beast made the soldiers begin to calm down, although they lost a lot of companions in the last battle, but they also killed an objective number of beasts, although the fur of the beast was sold by the officers, a large amount of beast meat has allowed them to eat until now, so the fear is not as great as imagined, when the second time there is experience to cause greater damage, the soldier quickly turned into a killer, raised the butcher's knife, and slaughtered countless beasts that lost the ability to resist with arrows.
Tens of thousands of beasts of war eventually killed only two or three thousand soldiers, which was nothing for tens of thousands of troops, so they quickly reorganized the formation under the orders of the officers, while countless people pushed carts to the front of the formation, and carried the dead beasts back to the city on the carts.
The butchers of the city are ready to divide up, the intact furs will be sold for a good price to fill the officers' money bags, and the large amount of animal meat will improve the morale of the soldiers, and the rest of the water will be distributed to the inhabitants of the city, so that there will be no waste.
The start was easy, but only a small fraction of the people knew that the real battle had not yet begun, and that the rigors were yet to come.
