Chapter 945: The First Battle of Xiangyang
The announcement of the rivers and lakes made it very clear that the newly established sect has a three-day protection period, during which the sect war cannot be opened, not to mention the other factions in the rivers and lakes, even Fang Jie himself did not expect it, but after thinking about it, this is also reasonable, otherwise, no one will dare to build their own sect under the noses of so many official sects in the rivers and lakes in the future.
The three-day buffer period, whether long or short, is not short, has its own advantages and disadvantages for the Forgetful Pavilion and its hostile sect forces, the Forgetful Pavilion can use these three days to further improve the institutional structure, run in the team and improve the overall combat effectiveness, and the hostile sect forces, especially the Wudang faction, Mingjiao, Shaolin Temple, the three major factions can have enough time to gather the team to mobilize the elite to come to the Desperate Valley to help.
However, on the whole, the advantages of the Forgetfulness Pavilion outweigh the disadvantages of having these three days, at least there is no need to face the Valley of Despair in the case of hastily preparation, after all, when the Forgetfulness Pavilion was established, the disciples of the entire sect were only Fang Jie and a few elders present, and the other departments needed a certain amount of time to join the Forgetfulness Pavilion one after another to officially become its disciples, and although this work seems simple, it is very cumbersome, and if you don't get it right, it is very likely to cause chaos inside. And the 300,000 elite troops of the Desperate Valley who were rushing to Xiangyang City might take advantage of the weakness.
Therefore, the first thing Fang Jie did after establishing the Forgetful Pavilion was to assign the recruitment authority to the elders, let these elders act separately, and let the personnel of this force turn into disciples of the Forgetful Pavilion as soon as possible, of course, it is not enough to rely on ten elders to carry out this work, so the recruitment authority can only be further delegated to the major teams, squadrons and squad leaders, so that they can recruit the personnel within the establishment as soon as possible.
But in this way, there are always some middle-level backbone personnel who violate Fang Jie's orders because of the affection of relatives and friends or selfishly, and recruit some people who come to the Forgetful Pavilion to ask to join the Forgetful Pavilion, and as a result, during the three-day protection period, the total number of Forgotten Pavilions has increased by 100,000 on the basis of the original more than 600,000 people, and the total population of the sect has reached 700,000, most of which have joined through the original Iron Palm Gang and the Huashan Luoyan Peak.
Fang Jie was also very helpless about this, after all, the law does not blame the public, and it is understandable for each captain to recruit one or two trustworthy people more or less, in the early days of the establishment of the Forgetfulness Pavilion, it was impossible to completely prohibit it in the system, so Fang Jie finally just called Qiu Xin and Ye Shunlong over to talk, and after warning the two of them sternly, he only regarded a captain of a certain department of the Iron Palm Gang who recruited the most people as a typical example of killing chickens and monkeys, and after he was dismissed and kicked out of the Forgetfulness Pavilion, this matter did not continue to be investigated.
During this period, the situation around Xiangyang City also changed day by day.
On the first day, when the son was approaching, the lore brought the 300,000 elite disciples of the Valley of Despair to Xiangyang City, although at this time the Forgetful Pavilion was still in the protection period of the sect war, but don't forget, as soon as the Zi Shi passed, it was the night of endless killing, so the lore directly came to take the lead, and as soon as the Zi Shi passed, he sent a 10,000-person death brigade from the White Tiger Outer Gate, that is, the West Gate to forcibly rush into Xiangyang City
The so-called dare to die is not to dare to sacrifice, but to dare to risk the loss of death punishment, and it is very clear that these 10,000 people alone will definitely not be able to complete the defense of the Forgetfulness Pavilion in the city, so this battle is just a test with a price, I want to see what the strength of Fang Jie, the so-called Forgetfulness Pavilion, is.
Before the lore attack, Fang Jie, who was well versed in human nature, had already expected that the other party would do this, and he was also interested in testing the combat effectiveness of his team, so he first asked Xinxin's city defense troops to garrison the inner city wall and not act rashly, and then personally led ten elite squads of 1,000 people to form an elite squadron of 1,000 people to meet the enemy at the west gate of the outer city
Of course, this also includes his two NPC companions and the high-level martial arts players of the Forgetfulness Pavilion, so although the number of the Forgetfulness Pavilion is one-tenth of that of the other party, the quality of the team is much higher than that of the opponent, and after the two sides meet, it is almost a touch, and the flames of war instantly burn violently near the west gate of the outer city
The first battle of Xiangyang kicked off
With one enemy and ten, this is the basic requirement that Fang Jie put forward to the elite squadron as early as in the high-level meeting of the Forgetful Pavilion, and the final result of this battle basically met this requirement, after two hours of bloody fighting, the 10,000-strong brigade on the side of the Valley of Despair was finally wiped out, while the elite squadron was only reduced by half, of course, this is also because of Fang Jie's personal participation in the battle, otherwise, the elite squadron would not dare to say that the whole army will be wiped out, but it is absolutely possible that ten is less than one.
After this battle, Lore did not take advantage of the killing night to send a team into the city to send him to death, and Fang Jie gathered ten elite squad leaders to hold a summary meeting when the people below were cleaning the battlefield.
"The statistical results are out, the battle loss ratio, 1:2o is remarkable, but have you ever thought about it, our comprehensive ranking of 1,000 people can at least be listed in the top 100,000 in the rivers and lakes, and your opponent's comprehensive ranking is definitely outside the millions in the rivers and lakes So, such a result is not worthy of our pride"
“…… I'm quitting the game, are you a pig's head? Your subordinates are all beggar disciples, don't you know how to use the lion's roar? It's that I know that the beggar gang's heaven and earth chief roars undead, but the Valley of Despair is not good at internal strength, so it's always okay to delay their combat movements, right? You have to figure out, which of our thousands of elites is not higher than the other party's internal strength? Even if everyone is affected, it is also the master duel that they are most affected by, a delay of a few tenths of a second or a slight mistake, it is fatal, and people will always die in war, so don't worry about whether people will die, as long as it is generally beneficial to us, with a smaller price in exchange for greater results, any means can be used"
"And you, Ye Shunlong, your Huashan faction is good at swordsmanship, and Ruthless Valley is good at empty-handed skills, you can just carry out collective suppression, but what were you doing just now? If you had concentrated your forces to suppress the enemy's forward forces from the beginning, this battle would not have been so chaotic, and we would not have been able to die so many people...... What do you want to say? Do you want to say that rushing forward is equivalent to sending you to death? Who do you think you are? Is it Linghu Chong? Even if each of you is Linghu Chong and joins the Forgetful Pavilion, you have to obey the interests of the collective and be wiped out? Are you afraid that I won't reimburse you for the loss of death? You're engaging in mountaineering, don't blame me for not warning you, if you still want to continue to mix in the Forgetfulness Pavilion, just put away your set, the Forgetfulness Pavilion doesn't need stragglers like you"
"Sun, you are smiling, your team is all strong men from the tomb, and they are only good at fighting, but you led your team to rush up, now it's okay, your people are all dead, if I didn't save it in time, you, the commander of the light pole, would have to be reimbursed...... What? Same return to swordsmanship? Are you an idiot? Surrounded by so many people, you have returned to the enemy, and the enemy can still kill you, I don't discourage you from showing up your fearless spirit of sacrifice, but even if it is a sacrifice, you must at least earn some money back, right? If you adopt guerrilla tactics, your squad will be no problem with one hundred, you will remember it for me, and the next time you fight, you will honestly stay on the periphery and fight"
"Xiao Yao, your team is very well coordinated, and the casualties are the least, which is worthy of recognition, but the number of kills is also the least, so the overall strength needs to be strengthened, at least it must be worthy of the word 'elite'...... Death, I don't even want to talk about you, where did you get that team? Well? Blood Knife Gate? Originally, I wanted you to build a 30,000-strong lion roar special brigade based on the elite squad, but you are good, get me a melee combat team, and I now order you to disband this team immediately, and in the next battle, if you still can't find anyone, go up and roar by yourself, and apologize to me for your death."
"The better performance this time is the squad of Ding Jiangnan, Palm Pearl, Tang Le and Han Qinglu, but except for Tang Le, there is nothing remarkable about the others, as for the Romanzi Division, it is a special squad of our elite squadron, and the comprehensive strength of the personnel is enough to enter the top 100 in the rivers and lakes, so it is natural to kill the most people, and there are no personnel losses, it is not worth boasting"
"In short, I'm very dissatisfied with your performance this time, after I go back, you will honestly continue to hone my team for me, and study tactics that suit your own characteristics As for the death losses this time, you can count them, and when the battlefield is cleaned, I will give you the death allowance in the form of potential pills when I go back."
The ten elite squads that had just been formed did not fight well without combat experience, at least in Fang Jie's opinion, there was still a big gap from what he expected, however, Fang Jie did not participate in any combat command in this battle, and was only responsible for fighting fires and killing people everywhere, so the lack of unified command and dispatch was also one of the problems.
Of course, Fang Jie deliberately did not participate in the command this time, after all, he would not have so much time and energy to participate in every battle of the Forgetful Pavilion in the future, so in this battle, Fang Jie wanted to use this to awaken the subjective initiative of the military leaders, so that they could find out the problems and solve them by themselves.
As for the issue of the loss subsidy for death punishment, after some arguments, Fang Jie and Yi Ling finally decided that in the future, all elite disciples and city defense disciples who died in the official battle of the Forgetful Pavilion or during the collective organization and leveling would be borne by the financial system of the Forgetful Pavilion, and the policy would be gradually opened to other disciples in the future, which meant that the Forgetful Pavilion still provided full personal insurance for some of the members of the sect even though the economic conditions were extremely poor
This policy, for the Forgetful Pavilion, can be said to bear great economic pressure, but for the elite disciples and the city defense troops, it is a great blessing, and a series of benign effects are also obvious, such as the elite disciples in the killing of the enemy, will not be so afraid of the tail, combat effectiveness has increased by at least three percent, and then the cohesion and centripetal force of the sect have been greatly improved, every time there is a big war, the disciples must be united, as if they were dead, There must also be more ordinary disciples who sharpen their heads and want to enter the elite team, so they will frantically improve their own strength to meet the conditions for joining.
In fact, the death loss of this battle alone, although there were only five hundred people, but if each person had to consume at least 500 million potential points, the Forgetful Pavilion would have to subsidize the potential pill worth 250 million taels of gold, and the Forgetful Pavilion had no money at this time, and it was established on the same day, Fang Jie did not set up the collection of the sect's poll tax before the second hour, so this money could only be taken out from the sect's poll tax when the next day.
This means that Fang Jie said that it was just an excuse to go back and subsidize the death loss, not to mention 250 million now, even if it was 50 million in cash, he couldn't take it out.
Of course, the Forgetfulness Pavilion is not a welfare home, and at the same time as promulgating this policy, Fang Jie also laid out the poll tax standard of the Forgetfulness Pavilion: the daily poll tax for elite disciples and urban defense troops is tentatively set at 11ooo taels of gold, of which 1oooo taels of gold is mandatory personal injury insurance, 1ooo taels of gold is the normal poll tax, and the poll tax for ordinary disciples is suspended at 1ooo taels of gold, and then gradually reduced according to the situation.
For the standard of poll tax, at the beginning, it naturally aroused the opposition of many elite disciples and city defense disciples, after all, in extraordinary times, the basic poll tax of 1,000 taels of gold a day is a little bit better, but the insurance money of more than 10,000 taels of gold a day is too sensational, but after Fang Jie explained through the sect announcement, the opposition gradually stopped.
The reason is very simple, Fang Jie just calculated an account for everyone: after each death, each full-level martial art will drop by fifty levels, and the consumption potential will be more than fifteen million, equivalent to 150,000 taels of gold, based on the average of fifty full-level martial arts owned by each elite disciple, the loss of each death will reach 75o taels of gold, and if you only pay 10,000 taels of gold insurance every day, it is not cost-effective for everyone not to die once in two years.
And obviously, not to mention that the Forgetfulness Pavilion is currently facing a crisis, there are still a few big battles to be fought in the future, many people are determined to die, even if there are no such things, no one can guarantee that they will not have an accident in two years, so, this insurance money is still very worthwhile, it can even be said that Fang Jie does not want to squeeze the hard-earned money of the players under the door on this, but a welfare guarantee provided to all elite disciples and city defense disciples, and the Forgetfulness Pavilion will inevitably pay upside down when implementing this policy, As for how much or less is posted, it depends on how many people will die in two years......
Therefore, just the sect's poll tax, the Forgetful Pavilion can receive 1o billion taels of gold every day, of course, this is only temporary, after all, although the insurance system has benefited some disciples, but the poll tax of 1ooo taels of gold per day is still much higher than the standard of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, but it is still the same sentence, it is very treatable in extraordinary times, although the disciples of the sect are quite complaining about the high poll tax, but for the sake of Fang Jie's face, for the sake of the beginning of the Forgetful Pavilion, everyone can still accept such a reality temporarily, I plan to wait and see for a while, if the Forgetful Pavilion is defeated in this crisis, it will naturally consider itself unlucky, and if it survives, everyone believes that the situation will change soon.
In the next two days of protection, the Desperate Valley did not move any more attacks, and the lore only transferred five temporary 100,000 regular regiments from the sect base to Xiangyang City with great fanfare, and then every two teams blocked the city gate in one direction, completely surrounding Xiangyang City.
Obviously, although the lore is limited, it is not a reckless man, and then send a team to rush into Xiangyang City to die, regardless of the loss of death punishment, it will be difficult for him to sit in the position of the head of the sect, after all, there is no personal insurance system in the Valley of Despair, and the subordinates are willing to work for it completely by a sense of collective honor, once they die once, this extremely fragile sense of collective honor will collapse instantly, just like the team of the Valley of Despair the night before, after the whole army was destroyed and resurrected back to the sect base, the team was automatically disbanded, All the members of the party were busy recovering their skill levels at this time, and they had lost their previous leaks and interest in participating in the battle between the Valley of Despair and the Pavilion of Forgetfulness.
Of course, even if they still have this kind of leakage and interest, their strength has dropped by a notch, and they have already lost the qualification to continue to participate in the battle......
And before the Valley of Despair completely surrounded Xiangyang City, the 500,000 regular regiment of the Forgetful Pavilion who came from Taoyuan Town had already entered Xiangyang City, but the arming task arranged by Fang Jie for these people was beyond everyone's expectations, Fang Jie directly threw these 500,000 people into the "Juyi Pavilion", that is, the only martial arts hall in Xiangyang City, and ordered these people to temporarily pay out of their own pockets to practice in the martial arts dungeon, and were forbidden to go out
For Fang Jie's arrangement, ordinary disciples naturally couldn't ask for it, after all, the crisis encountered by the Forgetful Pavilion this time was extraordinary, and all ordinary disciples were not very optimistic, if it weren't for the fact that these players were all from the Iron Palm Gang, if it weren't for the fact that these people had been suppressed by the Wudang Sect for a long time and had already refined their firm will, if it weren't for Qiu Xin standing up from time to time and trying his best to appease everyone with his prestige, I'm afraid that these people would have left the Forgetful Pavilion and gone to other sects, so since Fang Jie didn't mean to let them come out to work hard, they would also be happy. I watched the excitement from the sidelines.
But the high-level of the Forgetful Pavilion, except for Qiu Xin, the others showed great concern about Fang Jie's arrangement, in fact, the reason why the high-level leaders could still talk and laugh at the beginning was because of the 500,000 regular group disciples brought by Qiu Xin, because compared to the Valley of Desperate Feelings, 500,000 against 800,000, the problem is not big, if Fang Jie personally commands, I believe that the Valley of Desperate Feelings will definitely lose, as for the fact that Mingjiao, Shaolin Temple and Wudang faction are going to send troops to come...... Everyone filtered it out intentionally or unintentionally, after all, in their opinion, the result was actually no longer in suspense, so it was better to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and get by.
However, it is a pity that the high-level leaders who have no confidence have to pass and less than two days have passed, and as soon as the protection period of the sect has passed, the things they are worried about are still irreversibly born, and the heads of the three major factions of the Mingjiao, Shaolin Temple, and Wudang factions have made a sect announcement to the whole Jianghu at the same time, announcing that the three factions will start a sect war against the Forgetful Pavilion, and decided to send a total of 1.8 million joint troops.
"According to the report of the spies, at present, there are 700,000 people in the Ming Sect, 300,000 in the Shaolin Temple, and 800,000 in the Wudang Sect coming from Luoyang, Zhongzhou, and Jingzhou......" Murong Shanshan, who was in charge of intelligence work, reported to Fang Jie the information obtained from various places with all concerns.
