Chapter 904 Arms Race
Allied forces camp.
"Hahaha, Qin Shuai, have you heard that? The Emperor Mountain and Putuo Mountain have also sent envoys. Now there are only some disciples who come to fight for the front station, and the heads of the two mountains will arrive tomorrow at the latest."
Zhao Xiao, the second prince of the ancient Song Dynasty, walked into the tent excitedly and announced the good news with the general commander Qin Yuanxun with a happy face.
But Qin Yuanxun just nodded and continued to look at the map on the table without even raising his eyelids.
"Ship Qin, it's time to see what city defense map is there." Zhao Xiao sat opposite the table, moved the map away, and said, "You don't know what Emperor Mountain and Putuo Mountain represent, right? The major sects in Qingzhou are only under the sword tower. Now even they have come forward, and the city is only broken for a while, and there is no need to use any more weapons."
"Second Your Highness, do you think this is worth being happy?" Qin Yuanxun sighed and looked up and said:
"One sect after another came here, obviously the intention of entering the world has been determined. Now that even Emperor Mountain and Putuo Mountain have come forward, what do you think we ordinary people can get in this war? You and I are both the commanders of the coalition forces, but now we can't even enter the central army's tent. Apart from looking at the map here and managing logistics and military supplies here, what else can we do?"
"Ship Qin, you're too worried." Zhao Xiao said disapprovingly: "What the sect wants is martial arts talents and resources, while what we want is land and population. There is no conflict between the interests of both sides. There is indeed a suspicion of being undermined now, but as long as we get what we want, why bother with the process."
Qin Yuanxun and Zhao Xiao basically represent the two current voices of the coalition forces. Soldiers like Qin Yuanxun care about honor and military achievements. Victory won without effort is something they do not want to accept. In Qin Yuanxun's view, this is a war that belongs to them, not of the sect.
But Zhao Xiao is just the opposite. As long as the result is satisfactory, it doesn’t matter whether it is a paddling. Because in Zhao Xiao’s opinion, the interests of the sect and the dynasty are completely different. Even if Zhao Xiao is a puppet, Zhao Xiao doesn’t mind.
"Even as the Second Highness said, when will those powerful sects break the city?" Qin Yuanxun didn't want to argue with Zhao Xiao, but said: "We worked hard to expedition, and the army suffered huge losses. Although there were captured from Chu Yun Kingdom, it is not suitable to fight for a long time."
"There is no need to worry about this. Actually, it is mainly because I come to you." Zhao Xiaodao:
"There are now twenty-eight strong men in the camp. When the strong men from Emperor Mountain and Putuo Mountain arrive tomorrow, they will launch an offensive. After all, there are sixteen strong men in the new capital. The number of people at this level is more certain. At that time, Qin Shuai will need to coordinate and gather the army into a formation to avoid being injured by the aftermath of the battle."
Qin Yuanxun nodded, saying that he would be well prepared. However, he did not have much hope for the so-called war tomorrow.
Although Qin Yuanxun's realm is not enough, Qin Feng Kingdom has strong men like Qin Qianqiu, and he also knows the mentality of those strong men. Before things can't be done, the strong men of the reincarnation will never easily fight for life and death. The formation is now very large, but in fact it is just a flash of fists to scare people. Most of them will not be able to fight tomorrow. I just hope that Chu Yun people can understand the current affairs and end this war that has changed quickly.
At about the same time, the strong men of the Qingzhou Sect were also discussing the same thing.
"Why do you have to do this? Aren't you just a dozen powerful people from the samsara of unknown origins? We have so many people now, and we are afraid that we can't take them! A few days ago, I didn't see any more people, but now I'm going to retreat!"
Qianli, the director of the General Village of the Eighteen Villages in Yanshan, shouted excitedly, very dissatisfied with this confrontation with heavy thunder and light rain. The three he beat, Tianjizi Yang Muyun and others, looked at their noses and their hearts, pretending to be unheard.
Ren Qianli had a reason to be excited. He originally came to help with other people, but his allies turned against him at the last minute and beat him up with the enemy. As a result, a few days later, the enemy became an allies again and discussed breaking the city together. He already knew about the sword master coming out of the mountain, but this tone was not so easy to swallow.
Tianjizi glared at his unlucky junior brother sadly, coughed, and said, "What the master Ren said is so true, it's better for me to come up with an idea."
Although the Sword Lord came forward in person, the strong men of the sect did not have their own ideas. Now everyone’s common opinion is to force Zhang Nan to negotiate, resolve this matter peacefully as much as possible, and face the great disaster together, it is best not to make a big fight.
However, before that, for internal unity, Tianjizi made a suggestion that Ren Qianli would have a fight with the other party tomorrow and exhale anger. Anyway, his side was strong and his tentative demonstration could be considered as putting some pressure on Zhang Nan.
...
"Something is wrong..."
Zhang Nan stood at the head of the new capital with his brow raised slightly.
Zhang Nan didn't know about the Sword Lord coming out of the mountain, but he still noticed some subtle changes.
After seeing the cruelty of the sixteen "Beggar Gang Powerful Man", all the powerful sects who were originally watching around left. The five-nation coalition forces in the besieged city also had abnormal movements, obviously having the intention of retreating. But in just three days, the powerful sects who had originally evacuated returned one after another, and the coalition forces even began to strengthen the barracks and expand the camps, which obviously meant a long-term confrontation.
In a few days, something even more wrong.
Some powerful people from the sect actually moved into the coalition camp openly, and Zhang Nan found many acquaintances in it.
Tianjizi and Tianxingzi of Xuanxin Sect, Yang Muyun of Blood Soul Villa, Duan Ziyu of Qingcheng Sword Sect, and even the fence-bearing grass of the Three Saints Ancestors lived in. These people not only did not hide their breath, but even pride themselves on the banner of the sect.
"Dad, has the enemy come to reinforcements again?"
Chu Wenting came to Zhang Nan and jumped without any nervousness.
Although Chu Yun won consecutive battles these days, the reality of the new capital being surrounded has not changed, and a large area of land is still in the hands of the enemy. If it were Chu Wenting in the past, she would definitely be worried and frowning. But now, the only feeling in Chu Wenting's heart is to be at ease.
With dad here, there is nothing to worry about. Not to mention that there is only one city left, even if there is only her and Zhang Nan left, there is nothing to be scary. At this moment, Chu Wenting even felt ashamed of her previous worries.
"We're here to reinforcements, and they're beyond expectations." Zhang Nan forgot about the coalition camp, and rubbed Chu Wenting's head with a smile: "But it doesn't matter. The soldiers come to block the water and cover the soil, so don't be afraid of them."
There are more and more powerful Qingzhou people entering the coalition camp, and Zhang Nan has vaguely realized that he has become the public enemy of Qingzhou again. Although the reason is worth pondering, Zhang Nan did not mind at all. Because this kind of thing is not unfamiliar to him, the public enemy will be the public enemy, and just be defeated.
Although Zhang Nan was curious about the reason why those sects changed their attitude, he didn't think there was any problem. He had only been to Zhongzhou for a few years, but the guardian had been in the layout for ten thousand years. If he could not create such a scene, Zhang Nan would really be suspicious.
As for how to deal with it, what Zhang Nan said to Chu Wenting was not just a simple comfort, but a full sense of confidence.
The strong men in Qingzhou seemed to have a clear stand against Chu Yun Kingdom, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and they were only scrambling cars, horses and cannons, but the fight in the river showed that the other party was still a little worried. At first glance, they wanted to suppress people with their power, and the soldiers forced Chu Yun to surrender without bloodshed.
Regarding the current situation, Zhang Nan has somewhat of a sense of déjà vu. This familiar feeling is not in the Zhongzhou realm, but in another dimension of time and space.
