Chapter 124: Preparing for War

Dong Meng was helpless, so he could only look at the others: "Brother Holler, you made this suggestion, I don't know what do you think our chances of winning?" ”

Hoeller, who was named, stood up helplessly and said, "Honorable leader, if you count the warriors under the command of the Chili brothers, we are not without the strength to fight!" ”

"I need to know what the odds are!" Dong Meng Haoda was not satisfied with this perfunctory answer, and asked bluntly.

"Ahem, less than fifty percent!" HΓΆller coughed dryly and replied helplessly.

"Fifty percent?" Dongmeng Hao Da muttered twice in a low voice, then raised his head, stared at Su Yu with both eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Will Brother Chili help me?" ”

"Go all out and live and die with the leader!" When Su Yu heard this, his heart moved, his expression was solemn, and he solemnly assured.

"Good!" Hearing this, Dongmeng Hao shouted loudly, stood up, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, slashed it on the table in front of him, and said loudly: "Pass my order, launch a gladiatorial challenge to the cruel and incompetent Ji Lian clan Chengji, and under the witness of the Immortal Heaven, based on the ancient covenant of gladiatorial fighting, start a new tribal battle for the little marshal!" ”

"Think twice!" As soon as Dongmeng's words fell, a sound of persuasion sounded in the big tent.

"Do we have a way out?" Dongmeng looked around, his eyes were red, and he asked sharply.

Hearing this, everyone in the big tent suddenly fell silent. Indeed, at this point, the Eastern Mongol Clan has no way to retreat at all, and if you further defeat the Ji Lian Clan, then you will open the sky and take a step back, and you will be crushed!

In the end, the resolution to challenge the Ji Lian clan was passed under the impetus of Dongmeng Haoda.

Dongmeng Haoda sent an envoy to formally challenge the Jilian clan with ancient etiquette.

Things were just as predicted before, Cheng Ji directly regarded this as a joke and was not ready to deal with it, but the reality slapped Cheng Ji hard.

As Hoeller had expected, several large towns such as the Gu clan were of course happy to see such a good show after receiving the promise and guarantee from Dongmeng Haoda.

Several large clans jointly issued a statement, saying that the ancient tradition of gladiatorial fighting is inviolable, and several tribes will definitely not intervene in the gladiatorial challenge between the Jilian clan and the Eastern Mongol clan, and any tribe that vainly attempts to provoke the Xianbei tradition will be jointly attacked by several families!

In this way, the various small towns that had originally received Chengji's conscription and planned to lead the army to assist Chengji in attacking the Eastern Mongol clan suddenly disappeared. Begin to stand still and wait for the situation to develop.

In this way, Nariyoshi and Yoshilian were roasted on the fire.

Their previous plan to seize Su Yu's Han identity, create momentum, and force the Dongmeng clan to expel Su Yu went bankrupt before it began.

As soon as the gladiatorial challenge that has not been seen for many years came out, all the towns were discussing this matter, and the fierce and aggressive Xianbei people were very enthusiastic about it, and public opinion was all focused on the gladiatorial challenge, and the question of Su Yu's identity disappeared before even a few bubbles appeared.

"Damn it!"

In the big tent of the Ji Lian clan, Cheng Ji was roaring loudly, and the people in the tent were even more silent, for fear that they would become Cheng Ji's punching bag.

"What a bullshit gladiatorial challenge, they just want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! A bunch of despicable villains who don't deserve to be called the people of the Immortal Heaven! ”

No one knew that Cheng Ji was using anger to hide the fear in his heart!

According to the Xianbei tradition, under the challenge of gladiatorial fighting, the Yiluotou people must personally lead the army to battle.

Cheng Ji, who was previously cut out of the psychological shadow by the Han general's halberd, has a strong fear of the battlefield.

"Xiao Shuai doesn't have to be angry, my Ji Lian clan is full of soldiers, what if I agree to them to challenge the gladiatorial fight? Just take the opportunity to eliminate the Eastern Mongshi, it is rumored that the Eastern Mongol Clan has annexed the Xigu Clan and the Plating Si Clan, and the tribe has a lot of money, so we can take the opportunity to make a fortune! ”

The wise man Kuishan was a little unimpressed, and with the combat power of the Ji Lian clan, it could almost be said that he was nine out of ten against the Eastern Mengshi.

I didn't dare to take action against the Dongmeng Clan easily before because the Dongmeng Clan and several other large towns were in the same breath and moved the whole body, so it was necessary to reduce the strength of the Dongmeng Clan by squeezing out Su Yu.

Now that the Eastern Mongols have taken the initiative to challenge the gladiatorial fight, they have taken the initiative to exclude several other large settlements, which is simply self-defeating in the eyes of Kuishan!

"Yes, yes, what is there to be afraid of in the gladiatorial challenge, it just so happens that we can take the opportunity to annex the Eastern Mengshi, so that the strength of our Jilian clan has increased greatly, and the other few two-hearted Yiluo are estimated to no longer dare to disobey Xiao Shuai Yang!"

The other noble generals of the Ji Lian clan also spoke out one after another, and everyone didn't think it was a big deal to accept the gladiatorial challenge of the Eastern Mong, and even they were a little expecting this, but they were puzzled by Cheng Ji's anger!

Cheng Ji's face changed for a while, at present, he is greedy for money and lustful, loves pleasure, and his brave and aggressive character has spread throughout the tribe, but everyone doesn't know that he has begun to fear the battlefield, and Cheng Ji also knows that his reality cannot be exposed, and he has been barely supporting.

If he resolutely opposes the challenge of gladiatorial fighting, everyone in the city will surely become suspicious, and if Chengji's reputation as a waste spreads, he will be completely abandoned in the Xianbei tribe, which respects the strong.

Thinking about it again, Ji Lian's strength is indeed much stronger than that of Dongmeng's, and he doesn't necessarily have to charge at the front line by himself, Cheng Ji gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Good! Announce to the entire tribe that we accept the gladiatorial challenge of the Eastern Montessori. Invite the elders of the tribe to watch the battle and be a witness! ”

"The head man is wise!" As soon as Cheng Ji's words fell, everyone in the Ji Lian clan in the big tent said excitedly.

"Pass my order, prepare for battle, go all out to fight this battle, and let those young people see the majesty of our Jilian clan!"

"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.

The news that the Jilian clan accepted the challenge of the Eastern Mongol gladiatorial fight was like a whirlwind, and it immediately spread throughout the tribe.

Many Xianbei clans, whether they are pro-Dongmeng or pro-Jilian clan, are waiting for this big drama to begin.

In the East Mengshi clan, the people of East Mongolia are also gearing up, fighting hard and waiting for the war to come.

As the name suggests, the "gladiatorial challenge" is a very important event in the Xianbei tribe, and the two armies need to set a suitable date and place for the battle, and there are many respectable people to come to testify, these troublesome things will not be solved in a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dongmeng Haoda sent people to discuss with Chengji on the one hand, and on the other hand, began to expand the armament in full swing, in an attempt to maximize his strength before the war.

After deliberation, it was decided that the "gladiatorial challenge" would start in a month's time, and the location would be located in a huge meadow between the East Montessori and the Jilian clan.

In a month's time, Su Yu and Dongmeng Haoda were both desperately expanding their armaments.

For this reason, Dongmeng Haoda even traded 10,000 sets of various equipment to Su Yu again, bringing Su Yu a profit of nearly 100,000 gold.

At present, the headquarters of the Eastern Montessori has a full army of 30,000, which is not less than the previous Ji Lian clan.

However, although the expansion of the Ji Lian clan is not as crazy as that of the Eastern Montessori, it has also expanded thousands of troops in a casual month, and the total strength has reached 40,000! In terms of numbers, it still maintained a 10,000 military advantage over the Eastern Mongols.

Of course, Su Yu was not idle during this period, and the Kyushu Army also expanded from the original 3,000 to 5,000 people, the Heavenly Guards expanded to 1,500 people, the Shadow Archers also expanded to 1,500 people, and the ordinary third-order light cavalry also reached 2,000 people!

In order to urgently expand the army, Su Yu even spent a huge price to invite Master Gongyi, the descendants of Luban in Liaodong County, and his disciples to temporarily stay in the Kyushu fortress to help build equipment.
