Although they were going to wait three days before attacking, they didn't do nothing.
From the next day onwards, the army would march around Wu City in formation every day. Although there were only slightly more than 1,000 of them, no one dared to underestimate them.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Ren Baqian brought over a wooden chair that still had the aroma of wood. It was made by a few soldiers that he had just found.
Although there weren't any nails, mortise and tenon would do.
After the empress sat down, Ren Baqian found a man with a loud voice to stand beside him and shouted whatever she said.
Then, he sat on the ground and began to recall the words that he had said to persuade them to surrender.
"People in the city, listen up. You have been surrounded."
"The sea of bitterness has no bounds. Repent and you will be saved. Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. "
"Those who confess will be given leniency in prison. Those who resist will be sent home for the New Year."
"If you surrender, you will still have a way out. On account of the goodness of the heavens, Her Majesty has decided to give you a chance and temporarily refrain from using weapons of mass destruction. I hope that you will soon realize that doing so will only lead to death. Only by surrendering can you exchange for a bright future. "
Everyone in Wu City was speechless.
Did this guy want them to surrender or not?
"There are still mothers and children waiting for you at home. Don't let your loved ones cry because of a moment of happiness."
"Rebellion may feel good for a moment, but your whole family will be cremated!"
"If you die, someone else will live in your house, spend your money, sleep with your wives, and beat your children! What a tragic story! "
Within a few minutes, these words were transmitted to the top of the city wall, giving everyone a headache.
"Let me go and kill him!" Someone on the top of the city wall said angrily with a saber hilt in his hand. In a battle between two sides, any means could be used. However, the other party's words were really annoying.
In addition, the smell on everyone's body hadn't disappeared, constantly reminding everyone that the guy outside was the culprit.
"Don't be provoked by him. He is waiting for someone to go out." Someone immediately stopped him.
"Hmph!" The person who was stopped was furious. He knew that if he went out, he would die, but he couldn't bear it.
That fellow's words were really too despicable … Listening to it was really annoying. It was like a little bug buzzing in one's ear, making one want to slap it to death.
"It's useless. Just kill them all," Xi Wanya said to Ren Baqian after a whole morning.
He scoffed at Ren Baqian's idea of persuading him to surrender.
"It might be useful." Ren Baqian didn't argue with him. He just smiled, got up, and eagerly went to look for the empress for a meal.
Persuading them to surrender was naturally useless now.
The aboriginals had always been using violence to curb violence and killing to stop the war. They had never talked about persuading the other party to surrender. Naturally, the other party wouldn't surrender either. They were hot-blooded and would fight to the death.
However, if he revealed his intention to ask them to surrender, perhaps some people would remember it.
Of course, it was useless now. After all, Wu City had not been breached. Even if there were people who had such thoughts, they would not show it.
However, after the winged cavalry arrived and conquered Wu City, there might really be people who surrendered.
After all, there were so many of them. They couldn't all be the kind of tough guys who would raise their heads and say, "I'll be a hero again after 18 years," right?
As long as a small number of people surrendered, it would be very useful in stabilizing Tianjing Basin in the future.
In particular, the Earth Wheel experts from the various sects and powers were all well-known figures in Tianjing Basin. Their prestige in the sects and powers they belonged to wasn't low. With their presence, many things would be much easier to handle.
In the afternoon, Ren Baqian got someone to repeat what he had said in the morning. However, there weren't many people on the city wall this time.
They seemed to have noticed that the aboriginals didn't intend to attack today. There were only two or three experts on the city wall overlooking this place, followed by a few accompanying disciples.
"If we attack now, we will definitely be able to take down the top of the city wall in one fell swoop," Xi Wanya said as he looked at the top of the city wall.
"They think so too." Ren Baqian poured a bucket of cold water on him.
On the surface, those experts didn't seem to be on the top of the city wall. However, their movements were extremely fast. Even if they were resting in the city, they would be able to rush to the top of the city wall in a short period of time if a battle broke out.
Furthermore, they might be conserving their energy and waiting to attack.
In the evening, when the aboriginals retreated to the foot of Mount Wu, Qingyun Sword looked at the information that had just been transmitted to him in silence.
Dozens of people looked at him from below and waited for him to speak. Many of them still had bloodstains on their bodies.
A few days ago, there were still many experts here. All the experts in Tianjing Basin had gathered and were full of lofty aspirations to surround and kill Qi Zixiao before leading the people of Tianjing Basin out of this cage. However, after a few battles, they had lost more than half of their forces, which made everyone feel somewhat sorrowful.
"We have lost," Qingyun Sword said miserably after remaining silent for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. His originally ashen face became even more ashen.
"The outcome isn't decided yet! Qingyun Sword, as the person in charge this time, how can you say such demoralizing words?! " Someone immediately reprimanded him. The person who retorted was an elder from a major sect. Their supreme elder had died in the battle with the empress, and most of the experts in the sect had died in the battle yesterday. At this moment, he was filled with blood because he wanted revenge. How could he listen to such words?
"Elder Xu is right. The outcome isn't decided yet. The other party only has about 1,000 people, and we have so many experts. Why should we be afraid of them?" Someone immediately echoed.
"If we admit defeat like this, how can we face those who died in the battle?"
After these two bloody battles, which sect or power didn't have people who died in the battle?
Their close friends had died in the battle, and they had the ambition to break out of this cage for decades. How could they admit defeat so easily?
Qingyun Sword closed his eyes in silence and placed the slip of paper on the table beside him. Immediately, someone went forward to pick it up. After taking a look, his face immediately changed, and he passed it to the next person.
"The winged cavalry … are here …" A voice full of despair immediately silenced the hall.
There were two kinds of armies in the world: the aboriginals and the other armies.
The aboriginals had two kinds of armies: the winged cavalry and the other armies.
One was made up of cavalry that had reached the Kismet Heaven level, and the other was made up of Earth Wheel experts.
An army of more than 1,000 soldiers was equivalent to an entire protectorate.
"Aren't they in Great Xia …" someone said hoarsely.
"They are already here. They are 100 kilometers away!"
"Why did you only get the news now?" someone asked in a hoarse voice.
"The entire residence of the warlord of Longshou City is dead, and the entire city is under the control of the Protectorate of the South … The news came from Pingling City …"
"They should be 150 kilometers away now and will arrive tomorrow," Qingyun Sword said with his eyes closed.
"Withdraw from Wu City and return to your sects. The Northern Alliance, Southern Metropolis, and Green Bell Flower will immediately mobilize their troops. All the sects will bring their disciples to join the army, "someone immediately said.
Previously, their objective was to surround and kill Qi Zixiao. After her death, Dayao was without a leader, and there were strong enemies outside. Although Tianjing Basin would receive revenge, it was just the Protectorate of the South. Even if Dayao wanted to mobilize more troops, they were powerless.
In fact, if a war broke out between multiple parties, Dayao would collapse in one fell swoop.
At this point, it was obvious that they had already failed. In that case, they could only mobilize their troops immediately and fight the aboriginals.
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately responded, and the hall immediately became noisy.
After all, the winged cavalry was about to arrive. If they continued to defend Wu City, they would be courting death. The final outcome would be to perish together with the city.
If they mobilized their troops now, they still had a chance.
"Let's do it this way!" Qingyun Sword said with his eyes closed.
…
"Principal Ren, an old friend is here to see you. Please come out for a chat." A clear voice came from afar.
Ren Baqian was being hung on a tree branch by the empress.
Just now, when the two of them played mahjong, the empress, who had successfully crushed Qing Yuan and Hong Luan, was being plastered like a mummy by Ren Baqian …
Upon hearing this voice, Ren Baqian immediately became spirited and said, "Quickly put me down."
"You have a lot of old friends." The empress was under the tree with her face plastered with paper slips.
As an empress, she still had a basic moral outlook. Even though Ren Baqian was hung on the tree, she didn't remove the paper slips.
"It's an envoy sent by Great Xia to contact everyone in Tianjing Basin to mobilize their troops."
"Oh? Behead him then! Someone come … "
"Your Majesty, wait a moment. I made an agreement with him. He must have something important to do!" Ren Baqian quickly shouted.
After a while, Ren Baqian, who was followed by a Spirit Wheel expert, saw Su Qing standing on a rock.
"Sir Ren, you deceived me so badly …"
"I just saved your life!"
