In Nanyang City, in the City Lord's Mansion, seeing Qin Tian's weak legs, everyone knew it very well, but some things are better known than explained!
Chen Zhiyuan was the first to say with a smile, "What's going on? Did something go wrong during training last night? Don't be too hasty, take care of yourself!"
Everyone heard the implication clearly and understood it, and they all grinned. Qin Tian said nothing and sat in the main seat.
At this time, Yang Ying said with a worried look on his face, "My Lord, in the early morning, the 50,000 elite troops sent by Qi Baiyun occupied Shang'an City. Their speed was really fast. Shang'an City is only a hundred miles away from Nanyang. This is like a nail in the coffin for us!
According to the intelligence we received, Qi Baiyun has already led a million-strong army southward, divided into six groups, and is likely to encircle the entire Nanyang City like an iron barrel."
Hearing this, the rest of the people stopped smiling and looked extremely worried. Such a lineup would be fatal compared to their current insignificant lineup.
Even though Qin Tian's cultivation is profound, he has not yet reached the peak state, and he is not able to destroy a million-strong army in the blink of an eye.
Such a large number of people, even if they are all ants, are enough to devour an elephant.
Qin Tian's expression was still calm and he didn't care about this at all.
However, Qin Tian was somewhat surprised at this time. Qi Baiyun was not just a complete playboy as rumored.
Qin Tian said slowly, "You don't have to attack with all your strength, just pretend.
As for the remaining cities, there is no need to resist, just let them surrender, but not really surrender. Attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart.
Instead of trying to attach yourself to dragons and phoenixes and leap over the so-called Dragon Gate with all your might, why not build the Dragon Gate yourself and leap over it to become a dragon? That way you don't have to bow down to them.
Sometimes, choice is more important than effort. At this time, it would be better for the First Heaven not to provoke such a big war."
Upon hearing this, the mayors of each city nodded. This was perfect. If the First Heaven wanted to completely break free from the control of the Second Heaven and the Third Heaven, what it needed was unity. The greater the number of tiny forces, the more crucial they would be.
…
Three days later, the six cities of Shengjing, Linshi, Sucheng, Annan, Qingzhou and Zhonghai were all occupied by Qi Baiyun's million-strong army without any effort at all.
Late that night, in Shengjing City, in the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Baiyun had a somewhat gloomy expression, playing with a long sword in his hand. In the dim candlelight, from afar, it was really a different feeling.
At this moment, the old man entered the hall, bowed respectfully, and said, "Young Master, the situation is not good. Among those who surrendered, too many of them were saying things that misled the people. It seems that their surrender was intentional."
After he finished speaking, the old man couldn't help but look worried. If the situation continued to develop like this, it wouldn't take long before the million-strong army under Qi Baiyun's command would fall apart in an instant.
Qi Baiyun just smiled coldly, he didn't seem to care much about this. "Don't panic, this is something I expected a long time ago. Before we set off, is the wine I asked you to prepare ready?"
After the words fell, the old man quickly replied, "Don't worry, young master, everything has been prepared."
Qi Baiyun nodded slightly, "Okay, pass the order down and distribute the wine to the elite troops in each city first. If there is any left, give as much as you can."
Hearing this, the old man was slightly startled and reminded, "Young Master, drinking at this critical moment, isn't it...?"
Now, seeing that the war is about to begin, it is a taboo to let all the elite troops drink at this time. Originally, it was thought that the wine was a reward for the soldiers of the three armies after the victory, but unexpectedly, Qi Baiyun would order the elite troops of the three armies to drink at this time.
This inevitably made the old man wonder in his heart. Qi Baiyun's arrangement was indeed very good, but drinking before the battle made the old man feel that Qi Baiyun had returned to his playboy nature.
Qi Baiyun could naturally see what the old man was thinking, but he didn't care. He just said slowly, "Do as I say!"
Seeing Qi Baiyun speak so firmly, the old man said nothing more. Even if he said something, it would be of no use.
After the old man left, Qi Baiyun took a deep breath, put away the sword in his hand, looked outside the hall with deep eyes, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
At dawn the next day, Qi Baiyun ordered all the elite men who had drunk alcohol in the six cities, including Shang'an City, to go out. A total of 300,000 people rushed to Nanyang City from all directions.
At this moment, Nanyang City was in a state of panic. Qin Tian and his men were gathered in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Yang Ying's face was not looking good. He reported to Qin Tian, "My Lord, Qi Baiyun has sent out 300,000 troops, all of his elite troops, and there seems to be something wrong with those people.
Everyone's eyes were filled with crimson, and their minds seemed to be controlled."
Hearing this, Qin Tian was not surprised. He just smiled slightly and said, "Even though Qi Baiyun has some tricks up his sleeve, it seems that this tough battle is unavoidable."
As soon as he finished speaking, City Lord Wan continued, "That's a full 300,000 elite troops! Right now, in Nanyang City, including everyone in the periphery, there are less than 200,000 elite troops. Fighting head-on? I'm afraid we won't be able to win. If we don't have a better solution, it's better for us to surrender."
What he said was to surrender, but... this was just a nice pronoun. The actual meaning was to surrender and turn against Qin Tian.
Hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly, "There is no way out now, the only way is to fight, you just have to trust me."
Qin Tian only said this one sentence, but in fact, how could Wan Chengzhu and others not understand that even if they surrendered at this moment and were spared death at the time, what about afterward? They would still be unable to escape death.
This principle is easy to understand. If A and B fight, C supports A and D supports B. Whether A and B make peace or one of them is destroyed, the first clause is to kill C and D!
City Lord Wan was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, Pan Lingyun and Baili Jing walked into the hall. Pan Lingyun said, "Sister Jing and I are indispensable to this battle. If the city falls, we will both be at the forefront."
The two of them at this time also wanted to let the three armies see Qin Tian’s determination clearly, so as to better stabilize the hearts of the three armies.
After the words fell, several people in the hall, led by City Lord Wan, looked at each other and suppressed what they wanted to say. It must be said that this move did work.
Qin Tian did not say anything. He was absolutely confident that he would win this battle. Pan Lingyun and Baili Jing would not be in any danger. Now, under the influence of the Dragon Spirit Stone, the two of them had reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Man Realm.
