But most people are stupid and superstitious, listening to the wind is like rain.
Therefore, they will only believe what they think in their hearts and would rather listen to rumors than hear the truth.
Of course, there are also many wise people, such as the gentry in the city, who obviously know more about the real situation.
After all, as the head of a county, almost a large number of family forces are gathered here.
There are many families like the Ping family and the Yun family in Pingyun County.
Even bigger, famous families like the Gongsun family, and even three or two aristocratic families, some of whom hold high positions in the court.
They are not as superstitious as the people at the bottom and listen to rumors.
But knowing the truth, they hoped that things would be as the rumors said.
After all, the strength shown by Qin Yuan this time shocked all the middle and high-level power personnel.
This powerful and well-trained army is more powerful than the imperial guards in the imperial city.
And the condensed military souls of the four great beasts cannot compete with even the top experts in the world.
This battle made everyone see the horror of Qin Yuan.
At the same time, they also knew very well that this was a threat given to them by Qin Yuan, and it was also the last chance given to them.
If before, there were still people who thought they could defend the county under Gongsun Fu's wise command.
From now on, the ruthless facts shattered their illusions.
Even the former staunch supporters of Gongsun Fu have begun to waver in their hearts.
For a time, there was an undercurrent in the county.
Under the instigation of some people, the people at the bottom began to form forces, trying to challenge the authority of the government.
The middle-level families and player forces are thinking about how to protect themselves wisely and how to survive.
The high-level aristocratic families are closely connected, gathering all the power they can, with the intention of overthrowing Gongsun Fu's rule.
The scene of the army soul attacking the city did not last long.
The army outside the city also did not continue to attack the county city.
With a blast of horns, the army retreated like a tide.
It came violently, and it left violently!
This is something many people didn't expect.
Qin Yuan actually chose to withdraw his troops at such a critical time.
You must know that after the several battles just now, the soldiers and fighting spirit of the defenders in the city have fallen to the bottom.
If the city defense formation can be broken, even if there are two million defenders in the city, it will be almost impossible to form an effective resistance force.
Of course, many people know it very well.
The real reason why Qin Yuan retreated.
The biggest purpose of today's war is to show strength and achieve the effect of demonstration.
The second is to use the power of the army and military spirit to test the defense power of the county and city.
Third, the city defense formation is indeed very powerful, but the cost of breaking it once is not small.
However, as long as the threat continues, the city defense formation must always be activated.
Otherwise, Qin Yuan's army will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack the city defense.
This is also the reason why Qin Yuan did not let Li Cunxiao take action.
If Gongsun Fu dares to order the dismantling of the city defense formation, then he will definitely send the Xiantian realm team headed by Li Cunxiao to attack the city.
Of course, even if the protective formation is not dismantled, the formation will continue to operate and will continue to consume energy.
Regardless of the outcome, Qin Yuan is on the favorable side.
Finally, Qin Yuan's secret ambush in the city has already begun to take action to disintegrate Gongsun Fu's power from within, thus achieving the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.
This is the best policy.
After all, after experiencing the First World War, I believe many forces have new ideas.
Should he follow Gongsun Fu and fight to the end, or should he seize the opportunity to rebel and join the new master?
"Humph, Qin Yuan's army is nothing more than this!"
"Although this military spirit is powerful, it cannot last long and cannot break the defense of the city's protective formation!"
"With the city protection formation here, even if the number of enemies increases tenfold, what's the point of fearing!?"
On top of the city, a general beside Gongsun Fu shouted loudly.
Trying to use words to increase the number of soldiers on one's side and enhance everyone's confidence.
Unfortunately, everyone looked at him like a fool.
The facts are already before our eyes.
How could he change it with just a few words?
Is Qin Yuan really incapable of breaking this county?
Not necessarily!
It's just that Qin Yuan loves his soldiers as much as his sons and doesn't want to pay an excessive price.
You must know that although the war lasted less than half a day, Qin Yuan's side did not suffer any casualties, but it had already planted a strong and invincible seed in everyone's hearts.
Once this idea comes up, they must consider their future.
After all, these pampered officials and family heads do not want to die with Gongsun Fu.
They are not players, they can be resurrected after death.
Moreover, once they die, the family foundation will inevitably collapse, and the centuries-old inheritance will be interrupted.
Even the players don’t want to die in vain!
Wouldn't it be foolish to still fight Qin Yuan to the end despite knowing that he is invincible!
For the casual players, they have already secretly contacted Qin Yuan's side and plotted to overthrow Gongsun Fu's rule.
Compared to when many family forces are still considering and considering the consequences.
Players have already started taking actual actions.
On top of the city, everyone remained silent.
Gongsun Fu's face was ashen, and he knew that any words he could say at this moment would be very powerless.
It is simply impossible to win back people's hearts with words.
In this troubled world, only strength is the last word.
Unless he can send a large army to take the initiative and defeat Qin Yuan's army from the front, he can consolidate his position.
But this is also impossible.
"Master Taishou, there have been a large number of casualties in the city defense formation, and 30,000 soldiers have unfortunately died in battle!"
A military general came to the top of the city and whispered in front of Gongsun Fu.
Although his voice was low, everyone present was very strong, so naturally they all heard it.
This news caused huge waves in their hearts.
They originally thought that there would be no casualties on either side in this confrontation.
But who would have thought that the one who suffered no casualties was Qin Yuanfang who attacked.
As for the defensive side, they lost 30,000 soldiers.
This can also show how fierce the enemy's offensive is, and I am afraid it has almost reached the limit that the city defense formation can withstand.
After all, the casualties among soldiers are the best proof.
If there is still power left in the protective formation, it will only need to consume some energy and materials at most.
And when the energy supplies are not enough to maintain the pressure from the outside world, they will attack the soldiers guarding the surroundings of the magic circle and sacrifice their bodies to temporarily increase the defensive strength of the magic circle.
But this cannot last long.
First, unlike energy materials, soldiers can maintain the consumption of the city defense formation all the time.
Secondly, soldiers are also human beings. How could they be willing to use themselves as fuel?
The soldiers who arranged the protective circle before did not expect this result at all.
And when a group of soldiers died, even if the news was blocked, it still spread in the military camp.
The deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers cannot be concealed at all.
So, when they want to send more soldiers to guard the city's magic circle, and they are told to die, then who is willing to obey the order!
After all, it's not just one or two people, but thousands of soldiers.
If the superior generals insist on doing either, it will probably cause a mutiny.
"waste!"
Gongsun Fu's expression changed and he angrily scolded the general.
He looked around the crowd. Everyone had different expressions and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gongsun Fu.
This battle completely shattered Gongsun Fu's hopes and caused the internal forces to disintegrate.
If Gongsun Fu hadn't been the highest officer, he might have had other ideas.
But the decision was made by him alone. Anyone can surrender, but he can't!
Although today's war has ended, the real storm has just begun.
The next day.
Qin Yuan once again sent an army to attack Shanggu County City!
Just like yesterday, almost as soon as the four sacred beasts' military souls were over, they withdrew again, leaving behind a devastated city defense formation.
Visible to the naked eye, the repair speed of the city defense array is getting worse and worse.
And every time it was attacked, there were more and more cracks in the barrier.
As the saying goes, again and again, and again.
Everyone knows that Qin Yuan is by no means a good-tempered person.
This is already an ultimatum to them.
In the county city, there was also heavy news that Qin Yuan would completely destroy the city tomorrow.
No matter whether it is true or false, they cannot be disbelieved.
After all, everyone's lives are at stake.
The forces in the city, after a night of thinking, still decided to side with Qin Yuan.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Fu controlled more than 90% of the army.
Even if many forces mobilized personnel and recruited part of the army, they would only get back one-third of the military power.
There are still 1.5 million troops, as well as various important institutions, all in Gongsun Fu's hands.
Although they chose Qin Yuan, they were unable to receive assistance from the outside world due to the protective formation.
Therefore, their targets can only turn to player power and the people at the bottom.
In the past two days, the Yellow Turban believers hidden in the county have made great publicity and gathered many believers, forming a powerful force.
Several forces have joined forces and already have the power to confront Gongsun Fu.
And tomorrow is the day when Qin Yuan launches a large-scale attack, and it is also their last time.
When night falls, the real murderous intent is revealed.
Even though Gongsun Fu issued a curfew, there were still many people surging in the streets.
And they all come in groups, and even carry a large number of weapons and equipment.
Jiang Mansion.
The Jiang family is one of the famous families in the city and has a very high reputation in Youzhou.
In terms of his attitude towards Qin Yuan, he was completely different from Gongsun Fu.
Gongsun Fu is the county guard. If he is captured by the Yellow Turban Army, he will definitely end badly.
The Jiang family is different. Although many family members are serving as officials in the court, this does not affect their attachment to Qin Yuan.
This is in line with the general trend.
Even if the court blames them in the future, they can still find excuses to shirk the past.
It's a pity that even if the Jiang family has united many family forces, with the power in their hands, it is still difficult to fight against Gongsun Fu.
Because Gongsun Fu expected that some people might have different intentions, he replaced the generals of the army with his own people early on, and held most of the military power in his hands.
"Although more than a dozen generals have defected to our side!"
"But the army in our hands is less than half a million!"
"With the addition of alien forces and a ragtag group of Yellow Turban believers, the number can only reach one million at most!"
"It may not be that easy to defeat Gongsun Fu and gain control of the city!"
The head of the Jiang family looked at everyone and said.
Among these millions of troops, only half a million are regular troops.
The remaining 500,000, part of the alien army, have acceptable combat effectiveness.
But those Yellow Turbans are ordinary people who are bewitched and hot-headed. Most of them don't even have enough equipment, so their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
At most, it can only create some chaos in the city.
As for confronting Gongsun Fu's army, it is basically impossible.
"How is it possible to capture the county with our own strength? Gongsun Fu started too quickly. It's too difficult for us to resist him now!"
"But tomorrow is the deadline!"
"We have to do something!"
Another family head said.
They turned against Qin Yuan, so it was naturally impossible for them to do nothing.
The most important thing is to submit a letter of surrender to Qin Yuan.
It would be best if we could take Gongsun Fu's head.
It's a pity that Gongsun Fu doesn't even stay in the city lord's palace these days. Instead, he has been hiding in the military camp, not even seeing the people he usually comes into contact with.
After all, there was an undercurrent surging in the city and the army was divided. How could Gongsun Fu not notice it?
However, whether Gongsun Fu suppresses it or not, it will cause large-scale civil strife.
No one knows what Gongsun Fu is thinking, and until now, he has not taken action.
And these family forces are also waiting for opportunities.
After all, if you act too early, you will inevitably face a fierce counterattack from Gongsun Fu.
With their strength, it was impossible for Gongsun Fu to do it.
When the time comes, he will not die in the hands of Qin Yuan, but in the hands of Gongsun Fu.
So, they have to wait for a good time.
That is to choose to launch a rebellion in the middle of the night, continue the internal struggle tomorrow, and cooperate with Qin Yuan to cooperate with the outside world to capture Shanggu County together!
In this way, they can ensure that they get the best results with the lowest losses.
"Of course, we will still act according to the scheduled time!"
"We, one million people, will attack the bureaucracy, military camps, city defenses, teleportation arrays and city protection arrays everywhere when the time comes!"
"We must create as much trouble for Gongsun Fu as possible!"
"This is our only chance to perform, so we must do our best!"
The head of the Jiang family said, "Especially the teleportation array, if you have a chance, you must take it down!"
The teleportation array can be said to be very important.
Advance and attack!
You can retreat and defend!
Once they capture the teleportation array, even if they lose to Gongsun Fu and Qin Yuan's army is unable to enter the city, they can still leave via the teleportation array.
Of course, the premise is that the city defense formation is not broken and the teleportation formation can be used normally.
Once the protective array is breached, the teleportation array will be completely closed.
But by that time, Qin Yuan's army had basically entered the city, and they didn't have to think about escaping!
And at this time.
In the military camp, Gongsun Fu received the news from Zhuojun.
Liu Bei declined Gongsun Fu's request for reinforcements.
The letter said that the battlefield in Jizhou was related to the safety of the Han Dynasty. After they defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County, they were going to the battlefield in Jizhou. On this grounds, they rejected the plan to reinforce Shanggu County.
"This Liu Bei is nothing but a hero!"
Gongsun Fu said angrily.
These days, he has not chosen to give in, and has placed his last hope on Liu Bei.
After all, in addition to Liu Bei's millions of troops, his three brothers are also very powerful and possess the courage of ten thousand men.
Among the players, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the nearly invincible generals of the modern era.
A strong general with powerful force can determine the trend of the war to a certain extent.
Moreover, it can also fight against Qin Yuan's fierce generals.
Although Gongsun Fu had an army of millions under his command, he did not have a strong general who could stand alone and could not unite the army into a powerful force.
Otherwise, why would he be afraid of Qin Yuan's four divine beast military spirits.
And if Liu Bei comes with reinforcements, he can immediately eliminate all hidden dangers in the city, thereby re-establishing the majesty of the county guard, and even launch a counterattack against Qin Yuan!
This is also the reason why he has always tolerated the Jiang family, player groups and other forces secretly colluding with Qin Yuan.
However, after many days of waiting, the hope finally came to nothing!
