Chapter 637: Negotiation

Inside the shamanism temple, candles were burning, and more than a dozen people were sitting here, but strangely, no one spoke.

The high priest looked gloomy, and looked at the people present with a stern look, as if he might violently swing a knife at any time. Priest Quan was blocked in Nancheng District last night, and after several twists and turns, he ran back to the temple, which was also extremely embarrassing.

In addition to these two main priests, there are several senior priests of Shamanism and more than a dozen senior generals of the cathars. Like eggplants beaten by Shuang, these generals lowered their heads anxiously, not daring to look at the high priest's murderous eyes.

"Qiqin, you are the deputy commander of the Patriarch Army, tell me how long it will take to drive out all the Han Chinese who invaded the Holy Land of Xianbei?!"

The high priest stared at the Xianbei general named Qiqin with wolf-like eyes, and asked coldly.

Beads of sweat immediately appeared on Chiqin's forehead. The official commander of the Skitarii went south to support Ke Bineng. He is currently the highest-ranking general in the Skitarii. Originally, the acting commander was doing well, but when his boss was no longer there, he played a good role in his prestige, but who knew that he would encounter such a thing.

The High Priest had to answer the question, Chieqin carefully considered his words, and said carefully: "To the High Priest, the Han people are numerous, and our army is short of strength. If we need to drive the Han people out of Dragon City, it may take a while! "

"How long is a little time? Is two days enough?!" The high priest was not satisfied with this answer and continued to ask.

"Gudong!"

Qiqin swallowed quietly, and he also understood the general situation of Dragon City now. I also have a rough understanding of the general strength and combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou Assault Corps.

He said that driving the Pingzhou Army out of Longcheng was just nonsense to deal with the high priest. Judging from the current combat effectiveness of the two sides, it is completely unrealistic to drive the Pingzhou Army out of Dragon City within two days, but it is completely impractical for the Pingzhou Army to be completely defeated within two days. It is more reliable to capture Dragon City.

Of course, you can’t say this and dare not say it. Gritting his teeth, he said in a low voice: “I’m afraid two days is not enough. We need to wait for the tribes outside Dragon City to gather their forces after receiving the Sirius summoning order. Wipe out all the Han Chinese who invaded Dragon City!"

In fact, Qiqin lied again. Even if the nearby tribes received the Sirius Summoning Order and followed the Sirius Summoning Order and led the tribal troops immediately, the possibility of destroying the Pingzhou Army would be infinitely close to zero.

Xianbei people have never been good at defending the city. What they are really good at is mobile combat. Trapped in the dragon city and fighting the siege battle with the Pingzhou army, it was already half lost.

As for the tribes near Dragon City, what should I say? It is not very appropriate to say that they are trash, at least their tribe is very rich, and on the surface it looks like a strong army!

However, in the past dynasties, how many empires were able to successfully fight back after being invaded by the enemy?

As the deputy commander of the Dragon City Guardian Army, Qiqin expressed serious doubts about the combat effectiveness of the tribal armies around Dragon City!

Having said that, if they were really capable of fighting, they wouldn't have been discovered by Shang Ji after they had rushed six hundred miles into Dragon City!

From a purely military point of view, the only chance to eliminate the Pingzhou Assault Group is to abandon Dragon City. Focusing on the existing elite guards, and cooperating with the surrounding Xianbei tribal army, they blocked the Pingzhou army layer by layer and delayed their return journey. At the same time, contact Ke Bineng, let him lead Xianbei's real elite main force to return to aid, and finally look for an opportunity to eliminate the Pingzhou Expeditionary Group.

Of course, such a proposal is something that one absolutely dare not say, and even dare not reveal any thoughts of giving up on Dragon City!

All the people present could not bear the horrific consequences of the fall of Dragon City. Even if they were all killed in battle, they would definitely not be able to run away!

With the sophistication of the high priest, how could he not see the current situation clearly? But as a high priest, he still didn't dare to show any intention of giving up on Dragon City. On the contrary, he had to show great anger and make a gesture of driving the enemy out of Dragon City at all costs!

"Qiqin, I order you to immediately launch a counterattack against the Han army and take back the gates of the inner city!"

Qiqin's face turned bitter, he knew what the high priest meant,

It is impossible to counterattack and recapture the city gate. The 50,000 elite Pingzhou army stationed there may not be able to defeat even if all the troops that can be collected in Dragon City are assembled to attack. On the contrary, it is second.

"Le Jin, you are in charge of recruiting warriors, and we still control most of Dragon City. I order you to immediately recruit soldiers at all costs and strengthen our army as soon as possible!"

"Yes, High Priest!"

Another Xianbei general named Le Jin stood up and replied.

"High Priest, the enemy army has several fierce generals, and their strength is very strong. If we don't deal with them, we will lose three points before fighting them."

This is the Xianbei military general who escorted Quan back yesterday. Su Huan, Shang Ji, Zhao Yun and others' impressive fighting power left a deep impression on him. With these invincible generals, even an ordinary army can exert 200% of its combat effectiveness, not to mention that the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army is still the best of the best!

The high priest didn't respond to the general, but frowned, and turned to look at Priest Quan who had been silent all this time: "Priest Quan, are those people really as powerful as the rumors say?"

The high priest expressed doubts about the combat effectiveness of Shang Ji and the others. How could people be so powerful? And how could such powerful generals appear together? According to the rumors, among the entire Xianbei, Ke Bi Neng, who has obtained the new inheritance, can barely compete with it, but Ke Bi Neng is such a heaven-defying existence, the entire Xianbei is the only one in the scorpion shit!

Priest Quan didn't seem to have recovered from yesterday's blow, his face was pale and depressed. If it wasn't for the fact that this meeting was related to Xianbei's life and death, he wouldn't even want to come.

Hearing the high priest's question, Priest Quan's mind reappeared a few demon-like figures, trembling all over, and nodded with a little fear.

The high priest still had great trust in Priest Quan. Seeing him like this, the high priest didn't ask any more questions, but he already believed in the combat effectiveness of Shang Ji and the others.

But in this way, the high priest suddenly felt even more headache.

The art of war of the Xianbei is much simpler than that of the great Han, and the art of war, military formation, and strategy are all at a very primitive stage. An invincible general has far more influence on the Xianbei army than a big man.

More than five invincible generals are all in the opposite camp, which is tantamount to a disaster for Xianbei!

The hall fell silent again, and after a long time, the high priest said slowly: "Priest Quan, look, can we work for the Holy Maiden..."

Before the high priest could finish speaking, Priest Quan gave him back with an idiot-like gaze.

Well, the High Priest also knew that it would be useless to ask the Holy Maiden for help. The Holy Maiden really appeared on the battlefield, and it was not certain who to help when the time came!

Although it has not been clearly confirmed, Priest Quan and the high priest have basically confirmed the identity of the saint. Thinking about her experience, the high priest feels that the saint can stand by and remain neutral, which is worthy of Xianbei's worship these days!

In addition, the status of this saint is completely a crown unilaterally given to others by Xianbei, and she has never voluntarily admitted it. Xianbei enshrined her as a saint just because she wanted to take the opportunity to hug her thigh!

"Aren't there many bastards in Dragon City who usually boast of their military strength? Conscript them all into the army and work together to deal with the fierce generals of the Han army!"

It was impossible to get help from the saint, the high priest was also a little angry, and said coldly.

Everyone present was slightly taken aback, but this order that would cause huge controversy in the past was easily passed.

Dragon City has a special status. Many tribal commanders will send their favorite second sons to Dragon City. On the one hand, they can avoid internal power struggles, and on the other hand, they can find a way out for their beloved sons and continue the family blood by the way.

These people are generally powerful and powerful backers, and they have the posture of a Xianbei-like dude. In the past, the High Priest had a lot of headaches for them, but today he went ruthless and sent them all to the battlefield!

Qiqin bowed his head and said yes, while silently mourning for these second generations in his heart. Using the fists and legs of the second generation to deal with the fierce generals of the Han army, the final result will not be much better than massacres.

However, in line with the principle that dead fellows don't die poor daoists, Chieqin is very happy to see these second generations have bad luck. He also doesn't like these second generations who are arrogant and domineering and cause trouble constantly.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good! It's not good!!"

While everyone was discussing, a young priest ran in in a panic.

"What is it?!"

The high priest stood up abruptly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"My lord, those Han people have begun to attack, and now they have defeated the security army we sent, and are currently approaching the inner city!"

"Fuck, just fought fiercely all night, don't these Han people need to repair?" The high priest cursed in a low voice, but did not dare to delay at all, and said anxiously: "Qiqin, lead your troops to stop immediately, Bo'er, Pang Jia, You guys lead the sacrificial group to assist Qiqin!"

"Yes!" Qiqin and several senior priests responded quickly.

"Everyone, the survival of Dragon City depends on your own thoughts. I hope that everyone can help each other, resist foreign enemies, and guard the pride of our people!"

"Follow the orders of the High Priest!"

Everyone got up and shouted, the high priest nodded majestically, and waved his hands to signal everyone to return to their posts quickly.

After a while, everyone, including Priest Quan, withdrew, and the high priest sat blankly on the seat, his eyes glazed over, not knowing what he was thinking.

"High Priest, the situation is not optimistic, the villain thinks we should make preparations early!"

A young Xianbei priest came to the high priest silently and said in a low voice.

The high priest didn't speak, but nodded in a subtle way. The young priest also didn't talk nonsense, and retreated gently after getting the high priest's approval. Although this person does not have a high status in shamanism, he is the apprentice of the high priest, and it is rumored that the relationship between the two is not as simple as master and apprentice.
