Chapter 330 Negotiation
"Boss Ma, as far as I know, behind Huangsha Town is the White Elephant Legion, the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City, and the White Elephant Legion has a total of 150,000 soldiers. If we have the idea of Huangsha Town, then..." said a cautious boss of the Sand Thieves Group.
Although he did not finish everything, everyone present could understand what he meant.
Although there are more than 13,000 sand thieves here, they can destroy them all against the White Elephant Legion, with 5,000 others.
This is not to be said. The leaders of these bandits have a deep understanding or have witnessed it with their own eyes. Since they are working as sand thieves in the sandbank, these people will inevitably have some conflicts with the White Elephant Legion. Every time, they will be defeated, and it will be the extremely miserable ending of defeat.
Therefore, for these sand thieves, what they fear most is the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City.
The Shazhou Sand Pirates Group has seen other troops, such as Shazhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou. However, other troops are mostly mobs, and they are somewhat powerful, and they will not make the Shazhou Group feel desperate. These troops are okay to use to protect their homes. Once they have a head-on conflict with the Shazhou Group, the chances of victory or defeat are half and half. Therefore, there are so many Shazhou Groups in Shazhou and so rampant.
But the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City is different. They are even much stronger than the ordinary army in other continents of Chu. If the White Elephant Legion is one-on-one, they have never thought of winning at all. Even if they fight one by one in three or five, they may not be able to fight. Most of the time, the Sand Thieves need to win ten to one or twenty to one to win.
Therefore, when many sand thieves saw the flag of the White Elephant Legion, even if they were looting or even collecting spoils, at this time, the first idea of these sand thieves was to go as far as possible.
The White Elephant Legion has killed these sand thieves!
In fact, it is not surprising that the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City has such strong strength, because the White Elephant Legion is one of the three regular war legions of the Chu State. It has to go through one or two large-scale wars every few years, and it needs to sweep the wild grassland every year.
Without absolute power, where can the White Elephant Legion do this?
What's more, it is the most ordinary army. After so many wars, his strength will also improve by leaps and bounds, so it is not surprising that the White Elephant Legion will have such powerful strength!
Ma Shan smiled disconcerted, and then said with a relaxed look: "Yes, there is a White Elephant Legion behind Huangsha Town, but now it's gone!"
"No more!" An uproar sounded around, and most of the bandit leaders instantly showed greedy eyes, and they were envious of the wealth in Huangsha Town.
A small number of sober bandit leaders were also affected by the people around them, and a hint of greed appeared in their eyes.
The White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City is a mountain above them, and it burned to the regiment. After encountering the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City, it would inevitably lose its troops and even be wiped out directly. Now this threat is gone, and the Huangsha Town and the others can really make some ideas.
"Boss Ma, how did you know that the White Elephant Legion will not rescue Huangsha Town? It's unreasonable. You have to come up with evidence. Buddha, why should I believe you?"
The leaders of the Dasha thieves led by the leaders were more sober. They were not so easy to fool. Without enough evidence, they would not join in.
As a large team of bandits living in Shazhou, these people would not understand the wealth of military towns like Huangsha Town. After learning about the wealth of Huangsha Town, they had thought about the idea of fighting a military town like Huangsha Town, but the powerful combat power shown by the White Elephant Legion suddenly made all their greedy thoughts in their hearts dispelled at this moment.
Taking one hundred White Elephant Legion against one thousand Sand Thieves as an example, the White Elephant Legion will definitely win a great victory, and the combat loss rate is absolutely very low, not higher than 10%. The remaining White Elephant Legion soldiers can even continue to fight for a long time. With such powerful combat power, the Sand Thieves will not be careless.
There are a few who can survive under such circumstances. They can easily encourage Ma Shan and the others to get on. That is not bravery, stupidity, and seeking death.
There are countless places in the world that are richer and richer than military towns like Huangsha Town, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Huaizhou..... There are places in these continents that can be used for them to rob, so why bother to provoke military towns like Huangsha Town, which are extremely difficult to snatch?!
Ma Shan smiled softly. He had already expected this issue, so he said carefully: "Dear bosses, according to the news I have received, the barbarians on the wild grassland seem to be gathering a large number of troops. It is said that almost 300,000 troops have been gathered, and more troops are still gathering.
Therefore, the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City cannot draw many troops. In order to resist hundreds of thousands of barbarians, Tianqian City continues to dispatch troops from the various military towns in the sandbanks. Therefore, now we don’t have to worry about the threat of the White Elephant Legion. At least before this battle with the barbarians is successful, we don’t have to worry about the threat of the White Elephant Legion.”
"Barbarian army?"
"A large army of 300,000 barbarians!"
"It's still gathering, this...!"
"I seem to have received such similar news, but this news is just like the truth. Who can guarantee whether the news is true or false? Could it be that the White Elephant Legion wants to trap us and send us a false news?"
"We'd better be careful."
"Yes, don't be fooled..."
...There was an uproar and talk.
He was already aware of the reactions of everyone immediately, so he said calmly: "Brothers, I have a brother here who came out of the White Elephant Legion. Let's let him talk about it!"
Soon, a twenty-five or six-year-old with an amputated left hand, a strong aura was pushed out. Facing so many vicious bandit leaders for the first time, the disabled soldier felt a little restrained, but the generous reward immediately defeated a trace of fear in his heart.
Soon, the soldiers of the White Elephant Legion said randomly what they knew, or what they heard from, or even some unknown ones.
Some people may question whether the soldiers of the White Elephant Legion are too jealous of money. How can such news tell these bandits who are obviously not good? Isn’t this leaking secrets?
Haha, if you think so, it's OK, but first of all, you have to understand that this soldier is actually the lowest-level soldier of the White Elephant Legion. As a lower-level soldier, his treatment is conceivable.
Take this time he retired as an example. The soldier's left hand was injured in a battle with the barbarian patrol team last month, and was amputated and lost his left hand. The soldier naturally left the White Elephant Legion. So how much is his retirement and compensation?
Ten gold coins, right? They are ten gold coins. This is because the soldier is a patrol team. If he is an ordinary soldier, he can get five or six gold coins, that would be considered good.
This soldier has lost his left hand. How long can ten gold coins last?
Two years, three years, four years, or five years... So, for the sake of future life, what's wrong with this soldier making such a choice?
What's more, because the soldier did not cooperate, could Ma Shan and the others not get the news they needed?!
Last but not least, in feudal society, the concept of state was not as good as modern society, and so was cleansed and so valued. In feudal society, living is what people attach the most importance to and rank first.
After Ma Shan finished speaking and asked him to push it down, he slowly said: "After I found this soldier from the White Elephant Legion, I sent someone to Tianqian City to take a look and found that the things there were indeed. The White Elephant Legion directly cut off Tianqian City, and the soldiers guarding the walls of Tianqian City increased by five or six times. Therefore, the news about the barbarian army is absolutely true."
There are many thieves who don’t have much vision, but they don’t include those leaders in the lead. People like Sun Mazi have actually thought about making military towns like Huangsha Town in their minds. Therefore, they all know some routine situations of the White Elephant Legion.
Generally, there are not many patrol soldiers on the walls of Tianqian City. There are no enemies. Isn’t it a waste of military power and money? Therefore, Tianqian City has now directly increased its patrol force by five or six times. It is obvious that a war is indeed about to begin.
Several big sand thieves looked at each other, and then the blood-defeating thief leader Zhu Qiang asked: "Boss Ma, will the White Elephant Legion play a trick of trying to get? They deliberately sent more patrol forces, and then, when we attack Huangsha Town, we will have another shot back?"
