You know, Cangxu City has four gates, which are impossible to defend against!
In this situation, although Cangxu City's cavalry cannot get out and cannot exert the power of the cavalry's charge, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. But as long as they hold back the barbarians, they will achieve their goal.
After all, this is just a temporary measure.
"As for the two barbarian warriors, you don't have to worry. They don't dare to come in together."
Yang Ji was only halfway through his words and didn't say any more.
Everyone was startled at first, and then understood the subtext of Yang Ji. If two barbarian warriors entered the city, Yang Ji would enter outside the city.
Although Cangxu City will fall in the end, and no one can stop the two Martial Lords, no one on the barbarian side can stop Yang Ji.
In the end, the barbarian side may not be able to get better either. This is a swapping style of play where neither side is willing to die.
As for if someone comes in, with Yang Ji's strength, combined with Sima Shaozhen, the two great martial sects of the Sima family, and the power of three floating battleships, there is probably more than a half chance that the opponent will die here.
In this way, everyone feels much relieved, and the overwhelming and ubiquitous pressure has also been reduced a lot.
As long as we don't have to worry about the two Martial Lords, although everyone's situation is very bad, they can still survive for a while by relying on the city wall without immediately destroying the city, killing people, and annihilating the entire army.
Although at that time, I am afraid that except Yang Ji, everyone sitting here will be gone, but there is nothing we can do about it!
"The Poisonous Python Barbarian Lord will definitely not let us guard the city wall all the time. He will definitely take measures. With an army of 40,000, we may not be able to hold on for long."
In the crowd, Li Yi suddenly spoke.
The city wall is indeed useful, and it is the only geographical advantage for everyone. Everyone understands this, and the barbarians must also understand it. Therefore, the other side will definitely not let everyone stay here.
"It's not just that. There are many barbarian traders in Cangxu City. These people have been colluding with the barbarians and exchanging information. How dangerous is the situation this time? I'm afraid these people may cause trouble in the city. When the time comes, we should
Outside, I'm afraid it will be even harder for us to hold on."
One of the people in the crowd was the middle-aged Du Weidao.
There are a large number of barbarian merchants in the cities on the northwest border, not just Cangxu City. The relationship between these people and the barbarians is complicated.
The imperial court needed them to ease relations with the barbarians. It hoped that they would have contact with the barbarians. But at the same time, it needed to prevent them from becoming the "leading party" and leading other barbarian tribes to sneak attacks and attack the imperial court.
However, the barbarians in the imperial court were a strategy set by Taizu back then, and it was impossible for everyone to suppress and massacre them so blatantly. Or, one stone would stir up a thousand layers of chaos. In the northwest border, there were no less than a million barbarians doing business.
If Cangxu City were to guard here, the barbarian merchants in other cities would cause an uproar!
No one can afford this kind of "political" correctness.
"A firing squad must be set up to specifically supervise those barbarians doing business. In troubled times, heavy punishments should be used. At this time, once they are found to be colluding with the barbarians outside, they will be killed on the spot and executed immediately. Only in this way can they be deterred."
A general who was supported by Wang Tai said that he was from the Advocate faction.
"But we only have five thousand troops and we need to guard four city gates. We don't have enough manpower, so we have to set up a firing squad. What will happen to the barbarians outside the city then? Is it just a matter of how many people are there in each of the four gates?
Are hundreds of people going to deal with it?"
Someone immediately spoke out against it.
"But shouldn't we just deal with it? We don't have enough manpower to begin with. If we let them make waves in the rear and attack from the rear, what will we do? Don't forget that barbarian merchants are also barbarians. They have the same blood, and
There is also La Qing, who also has the fighting power of a barbarian warrior. A barbarian trader has fighting power. Will we still be able to deal with it by then?"
There are many people who support firing squads, but there are also many who oppose them:
"Not all barbarian traders are like this. Wouldn't this force them to rebel? If those who are interested spread the word, wouldn't the whole city be in panic and chaos? Wouldn't this be self-defeating?"
…
The originally orderly floating battleship suddenly fell into chaos. The problem of barbarian trade has been around for a long time. It is not just a day or two. But at this time, it is particularly important.
"I'm not too worried about the many rebellious barbarian traders, nor am I worried that the barbarians will attack. What I'm worried about now is that they won't attack."
A voice came from Xiansha. Hearing the voice of the Sima family master, the originally chaotic deck suddenly became quiet.
"Master, what do you mean?"
This time, even the two eighth-level martial arts masters brought from the family by Sima Shaozhen were confused. The biggest threat everyone faced now was the combined army of the two major barbarian martial masters, the Poisonous Python Barbarian Master and the Barbarian General.
This discussion was also about this, but Sima Shaozhen actually said that he was worried that they would not attack.
"Have you not noticed? If you want to attack, you should actually attack when you are besieging the city. Unlike in the primitive jungle, Cangxu City is our support and our prison. In this cage, although we can
We were left gasping for breath, but unable to escape. Why didn't they attack at that time? That should have been the best opportunity!"
"Could it be said that if today is different from yesterday, will tomorrow be different from today?"
Sima Shaozhen said, his eyebrows furrowed and his voice full of worry.
"What do you mean, Poisonous Python Barbarian and the others are waiting for something?"
Yang Ji expressed Sima Shaozhen's uneasiness in his words.
He did not participate in the previous debate, and only spoke at this time. He was actually uneasy about the situation outside the city. If the Poison Python Barbarian wanted to capture Cangxu City, there was actually no need to wait.
With his army of more than 40,000, if they push forward, Cangxu City will definitely fall as long as they pay a small price. But these people are too quiet.
The longer the time drags on, the faster the reinforcements will arrive, and the more disadvantageous it will be to the barbarians. Yang Ji believes that a strong man of the level of Poison Python Barbarian Master will not fail to understand.
There is no distinction between strong men and barbarians. If you are not a wise and intelligent person, you will not be able to cultivate to the level of the ninth level martial master!
"So you feel it too!"
Sima Shaozhen said suddenly, his eyebrows frowning even more tightly, and Yang Ji could feel the uneasiness in his heart increasing. It seemed that his words had a counter-effect on him.
"I'm worried now that the Poisonous Python Barbarian Lord is using Cangxu City to hold us back. Then he's using us to lure other legions, waiting for them to take the bait! I'm afraid these people don't just want to annihilate us."
Sima Shaozhen said worriedly.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Sima Shaozhen's voice fell, all the school captains, captains, generals, and the two great martial sects of the Sima family, including Yang Ji, all changed their expressions.
At a glance, everyone's faces were bloodless.
Everyone thinks that the army outside the city is aiming at themselves and annihilating Cangxu City. But if the other party's purpose is not just that simple, it would be terrible.
"Buzz!"
The crowd was boiling, whispering, panic and fear appearing on many people's faces at the same time.
"Brother Sima, what do you mean? It seems that the barbarians in this primitive jungle have been almost wiped out by us. These armies led by the poisonous python Barbarian Lord and the barbarian generals are probably the last legions of this jungle. These alone
, it’s more than enough to annihilate us. But it’s probably not enough to deal with other reinforcements, right?”
Yang Jidao.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the problem Sima Shaozhen mentioned before. It's not that he has never made such conjectures. But Yang Ji still can't figure out why the Poison Python Barbarian Lord and the Barbarian General came up with such a plan.
As long as the imperial court sends another ninth-level Martial Lord, the outcome of this battle may be unpredictable, right?
"Brother Yang, you are new here and don't know much about the barbarians. You think about this matter too simply!"
Sima Shaozhen shook his head:
"If this was a simple war, that would be fine. But the Poisonous Python Barbarian Lord is a member of the Nine Wilderness Paths."
"Nine wild paths?"
Yang Ji finally couldn't help but raised his head in surprise.
"You haven't heard of it, right?"
Sima Shaozhen smiled bitterly, "Actually, only the top brass of the military know the detailed information about the barbarians. Some of the people below may be familiar with it, but it's just not that detailed."
When Sima Shaozhen said that, he glanced at Zhang Qi, Li Yi and others. These people did not look surprised when he mentioned the "Nine Wild Paths". It was obvious that they knew a little bit about it.
"Most of the people we come into contact with are nomadic tribes with stragglers. They often send some ferocious birds to drop rocks, giant trees and the like. These people have no fixed size and no fixed residence. They are here this year and may be here next year.
They just ran away to other places. Most of the people who survive in the primitive jungle are these people."
"The next level up is the barbarian forces that are organized like the barbarian generals. They have their own army, obey orders, and are very disciplined. They can carry out large-scale sieges, and can recruit surrounding barbarian tribes at any time to supplement themselves.
soldiers."
"The third level is the poisonous python barbarian. The place where they live is located deep in the primitive jungle, which is farther away from us. Under normal circumstances, unless there is something special, even if we go deep into the primitive jungle,
It’s also hard to meet them.”
"The fierce birds trained by these people are more powerful, and the ground tribes are more powerful, and they are equipped with wild beast mounts domesticated in the primitive jungle. They move fast, are strong, and come and go like the wind. In terms of strength, they are more powerful than the barbarian generals.
Some. When encountering these people, only the regular elite troops in the imperial court can deal with them."
"However, forces at this level generally do not invade easily. Therefore, the court generally ignores them. However, forces like the Poisonous Python Barbarian Master generally do not appear easily.
