Chapter 260 Civil strife in the county!

Rumors stop among the wise.

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.
