Chapter 0138: Gambling
Sermu received the object sent by Fang Jue, Tubazan's earring bell, he naturally recognized, the sound of this bell always made him anxious, because the owner of the bell had kept him in a depressed state for many years. If he wanted Selmu to retreat, it was impossible, because in Selmu's heart, Fang Jue and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire were trapped in the Fierce Wolf Pass, including Tubazan, who had already been in his pocket.
However, Fang Jue's letter still made Selmu entangled, and Fang Jue also thought that Selmu could not easily withdraw from the army, so he said in the letter. Fang Jue wanted to use the fierce wolf to close 70,000 soldiers and send the Tubo prince Tubazan back to the Celestial Empire, of course, the number was falsely reported by Fang Jue, but in fact, there were less than 50,000 people. After sending Tubazan back to the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire sent a large army to send Tubazan safely to Tibet. Fang Jue repeatedly emphasized that he had a tough attitude, even if he tried his best, he would send Tubazan out of the Wolf Pass safely. As long as Tubo retreats, Fang Jue guarantees that Tubazan will never be able to return to Tubo.
Sermu was extremely angry at Fang Jue's intimidating request, and the hand holding the small bottle began to tremble, Tubazan was his nightmare, his weakness, and if Tubazan didn't die, he wouldn't be at ease.
Sermu also knew very well that if he withdrew at this moment, it would be tantamount to breaking with Li Haobai. Sermu understands better that with only his own 40,000 horses, even with Li Haobai's 100,000 horses, it is impossible to level the Heavenly Dynasty, not to mention that he knows very well that Li Haobai is a human being, and he will definitely not be willing to be controlled by Tubo, and sooner or later he will become a disaster.
Sermu weighed again and again, whether he wanted the position of Tubo Zampu or an unreliable ally, Sermu still made a choice, but he was still a little uneasy. When the Tibetan army came, there were 400,000 people, and only 100,000 horses were left at this moment, and many defeats in battles were due to Fang Jue, and Tubazan was also captured alive by Fang Jue. So Selmu wanted to ask Fang Jue to have a competition, if Fang Jue won, then he believed that Fang Jue had the strength, so he agreed to Fang Jue's conditions.
The reply was sent to Fang Jue's side, and the competition venue was set under the Fierce Wolf Pass, of course, this was not an ordinary game, but a real sword fight, and it was a bloody death. And the number is determined by Fang Jue, because if it is determined by Selmu, of course Selmu chooses all 100,000 people, even if all Fang Jue's soldiers are dispatched, they can't fight hard, and the result is exactly what Selmu wants.
Fang Jue knew that he had made the right bet, and the second prince of Tubo, Sermu, really wanted Tubazan's life. However, Fang Jue was a little embarrassed about the competition proposed by Sermu, who should be sent to fight. Since Sermu proposed the competition, Sermu must have chosen a Tibetan soldier with strong combat effectiveness to fight. Fang Jue has already lost 500 new troops, in exchange for 500 wounded soldiers, he does not regret it, but he is very guilty and blames himself, he can't bear the remaining 500 people, and send other soldiers to fight, I am afraid that he will definitely lose. It was impossible for Fang Jue to find Chu Liuyun to borrow troops, don't do to others what you don't want, and he also guessed that Chu Liuyun would not agree. Since it was Fang Jue's own gamble with the second prince of Tubo, Sailmu, it should be Fang Jue who solved the problem by himself.
Fang Jue's distress had already been told by Fan Ba, who couldn't hide his words, Bai Wuyu was the first to stand up and was willing to fight, he knew very well that his eldest brother was not in vain, he had to stand up at a critical time, if he didn't speak, I was afraid that Fang Jue would be a little embarrassed. However, Bai Wuju's kindness was rejected by Fang Jue, Bai Wuju was no longer the status of a general of the Celestial Empire at this moment, and Fang Jue didn't want the Blue Wolf Clan to clash with Tubo again, otherwise even if Bai Wuju returned to the mountains in the future, Sermu would definitely not let Bai Wuju and his people go.
Although Fang Cun is a member of the Fang family, it is inconvenient for Fang Cun to express his position at this moment, if Fang Jue orders him to fight, he will fight, he only does his own duty, and will not take the initiative to consider the problem for Fang Jue, because Fang Cun still has a little grudge against Fang Jue.
In the end, only the new army remained, the five hundred new army was Fang Jue's personal soldiers, and he thought that his combat effectiveness was stronger than that of other soldiers, if he let others fight, it would not only be a slap in the face, and he would not follow Fang Jue to continue to do it in the future. The new army took the initiative to gather in front of Fang Jue's camp tent and asked for orders.
Fang Jue looked at these familiar faces, although they had only known each other for a few months, the friendship between them was like an old friend for decades. There were 1,000 people when they came, but there were only 500 people left at this moment, and there were 300,000 or 400,000 people when the army of the Western Expedition came, and there were only more than 40,000 people left at this moment. Fang Jue personally commanded and buried tens of thousands of soldiers of the Celestial Empire, those bloody corpses, distorted expressions, and people who died with their eyes closed or open, all of them were deeply engraved in Fang Jue's mind.
"Are you afraid?"
"Live and die together."
"Can you do it?"
"Unity wins."
Fang Jue's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were a little ruddy, if he wanted to win the competition, he could only let the five hundred new troops fight.
After such a long time of blood baptism, the 500 new army exudes a momentum no worse than the original 1,000 people.
"Fight."
Fang Jue issued a heavy order, he knew very well that this competition would be a very dangerous thing, if he was defeated, the whole army would be annihilated, and if he won, he would also suffer heavy losses. It's not that Fang Jue is not confident, but after these wars, blood and cruelty have made him more rational. It is no accident that Selmu is now able to seize the initiative in the war.
Sermu received a reply, Fang Jue only sent five hundred people to compete, Sermu was stunned, this is too little. However, since he promised to let Fang Jue set the quantity, he can't go back on it at this moment. Sermu thought that there would be a game scene of tens of thousands of people, but he had already asked the national teacher to remove the flail and select the most elite 10,000 from 100,000. Now only 500 people are needed, which is a lot of work. The shackles had to be picked again from 10,000 people. In the end, the five hundred people selected, the lowest one was also a captain, and several generals at the level of commanders also joined. The leader of the troops was naturally Nimapa.
Fang Jue's side, in the past, Nanfeng led the new army, but now Nanfeng is not there, so he has to be led by Fan Ba, although Xiao Yue has good martial arts, he has always done things to collect intelligence for Fang Jue, and for the leading game, Fan Ba has to be, after all, Fan Ba was already a general of Shu County before following Fang Jue.
Fang Jue didn't do any pre-war mobilization, and he didn't know what to say. As soon as the city gate opened, the soldiers sent out had little chance of coming back alive. Fang Jue had no choice but to stand behind and beat the drum in person.
However, Sermu solemnly made a mobilization, which could not be regarded as a mobilization, but an order. Those who have not killed all the other party will never be able to come back, and those who come back and wait for them will also be shot with arrows.
Nimapa knew that the other party was Fang Jue's new army, and he could personally understand its power, although he also wiped out Fang Jue's 500 new army, but the price was too great, 500 people lost more than 5,000 people, which can be described as a 10-strong combat power. The scar on his face is still faintly painful at the moment, and this game battle can be described as a lot of pressure. However, Nimapa knew that the 500 people he led were the elite of the elite of the Tubo country, and there were even several commanders, and Nimapa suddenly resurrected a lot.
