In the past few months, the entire Southern Wilderness has been calm. The Feng and Chen families, who had been in constant conflict with Wu Qi, have also temporarily stopped. The main reason is that all the well-informed forces in the entire Southern Wilderness have been frightened.
Indeed, Nanhuang's access to the outside world is now controlled by Zhao Cheng, but this does not mean that Nanhuang is completely isolated from the outside world.
It's just that the small road is dangerous and difficult to travel, and it is not suitable for large-scale caravans or army marches.
In addition, as early as many thousands of years ago, Taoists tamed birds. Over time, even mortals can master some of the skills of taming animals and can use them to deliver letters.
Under this situation, what happened under the Heaven's Jueguan had already spread throughout the Southern Wilderness as early as March.
Facing that destructive force that destroyed millions of troops, no one could remain calm and calm.
In this case, even if you have thought about it, such a method will definitely be difficult to replicate, otherwise Zhao Cheng would not have to withdraw to the Southern Wilderness, but knowing it does not affect people's fear.
As time went by, more details were revealed. For example, the charred corpses within the destruction range would emit a faint light at night. For example, fertile soil turned into poisonous soil, and ordinary people stayed in it for a while.
If time passes, you will be poisoned and die in pain. Medicine and stone cannot save you.
Of course, only those Taoists in the entire Yingtian Army know about such top-secret matters as muskets. Even if the Wu family has been cultivating in Wucheng for many years and has left many secrets, these secrets are just civilians. Now
They are all working as apprentices and taking classes, and they cannot get in touch with the core of Ying Tianjun.
The entire Wucheng, even after several purges by Zhao Cheng, has a current population of at least more than 600,000.
As for the center of the big explosion, everything was destroyed, not even the bones were left. Under such circumstances, Huang Tianjun's retreat to the southern wasteland undoubtedly added a layer of mystery.
The old and weak, women and children learn the art of making clothes and armor, and the young and strong learn the art of making crossbows. When these young and strong are not fighting, they can make armaments. When fighting, there is no need for too much training. They only need to be equipped by everyone.
Crossbows, forming a formation, and then pulling the trigger.
Now, although Wu Qi, the old thief, deserves to die, the threat from Ying Tian's army has to be taken seriously. They still understand the truth of death and coldness. With the magic of Ying Tian's army, if Wu Qi loses, it will be his turn later.
They are.
But the longer he waited, the more anxious he became, especially the news conveyed to him by the craftsmen in the city, which gave him a strong bad feeling.
But even those things that were not top secret still made him feel frightened. If Zhao Cheng was really allowed to develop for two or three years, the follow-up would be really bad.
Of course, the most important thing is that what the Ying Tian Army has shown now is all about magic, not hard power. If the Ying Tian Army had an army of two to three hundred thousand, the three families would definitely join forces without hesitation. But now, the entire
Ying Tian's army only numbered 70,000, and its territory was only the small city of Wucheng. It was impossible for them to develop in a short period of time.
As for Wucheng, the total population is over 500,000 to nearly 600,000, but in fact, many people in the city are illegal and have no household registration. This is not a secret. In order to avoid taxes, there is no one who cannot do it.
matter.
Under this situation, the Feng and Chen families could only stay put for the time being and think about it. Now the two families were very quarrelsome.
As for the resource issue, Wucheng is backed by mountains and there is no shortage of wood and stone. As for leather, silk and cloth, Zhao Cheng ransacked so many homes and brought back countless resources from Qingzhou. It is impossible to consume them in a few years.
completely.
Previously, the Feng and Chen families were not unaware of the threat from Ying Tian's army, but compared to Ying Tian's army who was farther away, they were more inclined to destroy Wu Qi first and then execute Ying Tian.
Compared to a few months ago, he is undoubtedly older, with gray hair, deep wrinkles, and black age spots.
"Meat eaters are despicable and cannot plan far!"
At the Wu Jiajun's military camp, Wu Qi looked in the direction of the Feng and Chen families, feeling agitated in his heart.
But the problem is, if the magic cannot be replicated, and the Yingtian army, which retreated from Qingzhou, is not as strong as they expected, wouldn't they lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate the Wu thieves?!
Now that Wu Qi is surrounded by two forces, this is undoubtedly when he is at his weakest.
Before Ying Tian's army withdrew to the Southern Wilderness, he attacked Wucheng several times, but all failed. But now that Ying Tian's army has absorbed Huang Tian's old army, it is even more difficult to fight. He is not a man who is motivated by ambition.
If nothing can be done for the time being, I will not attack forcefully, but just wait for the weather.
There are 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.
Compared with the second statement, there are undoubtedly more supporters of the first statement.
Some people also believe that Ying Tian is too evil. He has had too many supernatural powers since his debut and cannot stay for a long time. It is better to join forces with Wu Qi to wipe out Ying Tian and then plan for the follow-up.
This means that if Zhao Cheng is really given time, the opponent will easily be able to create an army of up to 200,000 archers in addition to the main force of the Ying Tian Army.
After all, Ying Tian's army was farther away and could also be used to destroy Wu.
Alliance is simple to say, but the reality is that even if Wucheng is really taken, it will most likely be helping Wu Qi regain Wucheng. After all, everything bordering Wucheng is Wu Qi's territory.
Some people believe that since ancient times, those who hold the destiny of heaven will soon be exhausted. It is better to sit back and watch Wu Qi and Ying Tian's army fight, causing the two sides to consume each other. When the time is right, send troops to destroy the Wu thieves in one fell swoop.
Cut off the sky and divide the southern wilderness into two parts.
And this does not include the population that Zhao Cheng brought back from Qingzhou. How many people there are in this group, Wu Qi's detailed work is impossible to know because his status is too low, but it can be as many as one or two hundred thousand.
Two hundred thousand archers, plus seventy thousand, rounded up, that’s an army of three hundred thousand. With such strength, who can stop this Southern Wilderness?!
Wu Qi was frightened when he thought about this kind of war potential.
But it is impossible for him to imitate Zhao Cheng. The reason why Zhao Cheng can do this is because Wucheng is now an isolated city and all forces have been wiped out by Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng can naturally do whatever he wants, but he cannot.
Apart from anything else, he simply can't do it on his side, just to abolish currency and switch to merit.
And if he cannot do this, many of the people under his rule are actually the private property of local powerful people. Furthermore, he does not have enough money and food to support so many people out of work.
