Chapter 405, bad things followed

However, this time the reward given by the imperial court also surprised Fang Yi a little, he didn't expect Yun Wuji to be so generous, and directly sealed himself a third-grade official, and also named himself the general of Zhenbei, plus the title of an earl.

The most important thing is that there is still a gold medal for avoiding death?

Of course, Fang Yi knew the meaning of that martial arts gold medal, but Yun Wuji had rewarded him so much, and he didn't know if Yun Wuji would jump up in a hurry if he knew his true identity at that time.

Fang Yi returned to the Dali military tent and met with Luo Shenhou, who gave Fang Yi the holy decree and the gold medal for avoiding death.

took the death-free gold medal, there was nothing else on it, only two gilded characters, it was Yun Wuji's year name, Wuwei.

On top of the two gilded characters, the five-clawed golden dragon was wrapped around it, holding the gold medal in his hand, and he felt the heavy weight.

Fang Yi also got the title of Earl of Anle, and for this, the imperial court also gave Fang Yi a fief, and from now on, it was the place where Fang Yi was the son of his wife.

According to the law of Dali, the title cannot be hereditary, but the fief can, in other words, from now on, that land belongs to the territory of the Fang Yi family.

Of course, as the general of Zhenbei, Fang Yi still has the right to lead 100,000 elite soldiers, but this time, Dali has 200,000 elite soldiers, and has lost nearly 50,000, and there are 150,000 elite soldiers.

"Generals." At this time, Luo Shenhou took the lead in speaking, and the eyes of the other generals were all focused on Luo Shenhou.

"The front-line scouts have reported that the barbarian army has been massed in depth and is about to launch the most fierce attack on Dali." At this time, Luo Shenhou opened his mouth and told the generals about the information obtained by the scouts.

These generals are the center of the front line, and they are responsible for discussing the war on the front line, and then making decisions.

This is the will given by Emperor Yun Wuji, who will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be granted, so that Luo Shenhou will decide.

"The barbarians have suffered a defeat this time, so they naturally want to save face, not to mention, this barbarian prince, but he was pinned on by the barbarian king, he fought for the first time this time, and was beaten by us such a dismount, after going back, how will the barbarian king think of him??" The Protector General spoke at this point.

"That's right, besides, I have long heard that the barbarian king seems to be impacting a higher realm, and the barbarians sent troops to buy time for the barbarian king." The Northern Expedition general was also analyzing.

"Besides, it's already November, which is the coldest season for the barbarians, and if the barbarians want to survive, they can only continue to encroach on the south." General Weiyuan said the most fundamental reason why the barbarian army wanted to counterattack, that is, in order to survive, the barbarians had to suppress the human army.

Last year, in the case of desperate resistance of the Dali army, it was not able to hold the Yumen Pass, and the Yumen Pass was lost, and it was as fast as Taiyuan City, which resisted the pace of the barbarian army.

Many barbarians were north of Taiyuan City and south of Yumen Pass, and they survived for a winter.

This time, in November, it is the critical moment when winter has arrived, and it is impossible for the barbarians to give up this opportunity.

"Anyway, the barbarians are coming." Luo Shenhou said in a deep voice at this time: "The barbarians claim to have gathered 100,000 troops this time. ”

"Before, the barbarians killed 50,000 horses of our Dali general with 20,000 advance troops, and also fled back with several thousand, this time the army of 100,000 is five times that of 20,000 advance men, according to this battle loss ratio, we must prepare at least 250,000 horses."

"But we only have 200,000 horses." Luo Shenhou emphasized this point, and he also lost 50,000.

In other words, now we need to leave the remaining 150,000 horses to fight against the 200,000 barbarian army, and this war can be imagined how cruel it should be.

Dali can't draw more soldiers now, because fighting against the barbarians, not any ordinary person can join the army, at least a strong martial artist is needed.

In the early years of Dali, in addition to the necessary soldiers to maintain the army, in order to prevent martial artists from violating the ban with martial arts, for a long time, it was to prevent the unlimited expansion of the army, but now, Dali has to bear the consequences of this policy.

This time, the support of the Jianghu sect and the support of the Confucian and Taoist monks, the total added up was only 150,000 horses.

But it is precisely because of this, in fact, it has also enhanced the combat power of Dali.

The 50,000 horses lost in front are actually relatively weak existences, after all, they are the men and horses of the former army and the middle army.

And the most elite rear army and Shenhou personal soldiers have not yet appeared, including the people of the Jianghu Sect and the disciples of Confucianism and Taoism, none of them participated in the first two rounds of battles.

This time, the elite soldiers of the barbarian tribe went into battle, and the disciples of the Jianghu sect and the Confucian and Taoist people naturally wanted to participate in the battle.

From this level, in fact, it is not a big problem, after all, once the disciples of Confucianism and Taoism and the disciples of the Jianghu Sect make a move, they will have the power to fight with the barbarians.

"This time, 150,000 horses and horses are under the jurisdiction of several generals."

"The general of the Northern Expedition commanded 30,000 horses, mainly attacking the left wing of the barbarians, General Weiyuan commanded 30,000 horses, mainly attacked the right wing, and the general of the protectorate commanded 30,000 horses, mainly attacking the middle of the barbarians." At this time, Luo Shenhou directly announced the strength and direction of operations under their respective territories.

"This commander has 10,000 personal soldiers under his command and is responsible for supervising the battle and supporting." Luo Shenhou spoke again, and then turned his gaze to Fang Yi.

"General Zhenbei, with 50,000 horses, responsible for surprise attacks and replenishment."

Shenhou's order is a military order, and at this time, several generals all spoke: "Obey!" ”

"General Zhenbei's task is very heavy, and the main reason for this arrangement is to let General Zhenbei give full play to his attainments in the realm of the art of war." Luo Shenhou first gave a military order, and now he explained to everyone: "And against the barbarian army, such positional battles and encounters, the three generals are already handy, and I also ask the generals to lead the men and horses and prepare for battle." ”

The three generals of Huguo, Weiyuan and the Northern Expedition are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and let them each lead an army of 30,000 to fight head-on with the barbarians, also because they have fought too many such battles, and they have experience.

Luo Shenhou is with 10,000 personal soldiers, responsible for supervising the battle support on the front line, this is to prevent the situation on the battlefield from changing rapidly, once there is any major change, or there is any other situation, so that Luo Shenhou can have the opportunity to react, and then make a decision.

As for Fang Yi, he led the 50,000 soldiers of the Chinese army before, and he had already won a great victory, Fang Yi showed his amazing talent in leading troops in two consecutive wars, but Fang Yi fought against the barbarians, it was always the first time, so it was necessary to let Fang Yi give full play to his talent in leading troops, let Fang Yi play a greater role, and avoid letting Fang Yi fight such positional battles.

This is the battle plan that has been formed in Luo Shenhou's mind before, and this time it is officially told to everyone.

……

After the deliberations were over, it was time for each of them to lead their troops and prepare for battle.

Fang Yi also returned to his tent.

In addition, more and more news and intelligence were also transmitted to Fang Yi's tent.

This time, the barbarians had colluded with the Gu clan before, and this time it seemed to be the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the barbarians, but there was still a force behind them that was secretly gathered, that is, the Gu army sent by the Gu King to support the barbarians.

That's right, now the Gu clan and Da Li are basically close to tearing their faces.

Before Fang Yi died, King Gu also pretended to sign a peace agreement with Da Li to ensure that the well water would not interfere with the river water.

But now it's only a few months, and it's time to prepare to make a move against Da Li, especially when he learns that most of the sects in the Jianghu sect have chosen to surrender to Da Li, the Gu King began to act frequently.

In the south, the army led by King Pingnan is fighting fiercely, waiting to join the battle with the Gu clan at any time.

I heard that the Gu Clan has gathered nearly 50,000 Gu Clans, preparing to launch an attack from the south, and the Gu Clans who are fighting in the north to the south will respond to each other, and they will encroach on Dali's territory step by step, and finally let Dali disappear completely, this is the Gu King's real plan.

Of course, this is also the reason why Dali can no longer spare manpower and soldiers to come to the north to continue to fight against the barbarians, because there is basically no one available now.

The threat of the Great Departure from the South is also great.

In addition, there is another news that the Jianghu Sect is about to start infighting.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion led by the Sword Saint Lord was determined to take action against the other nine major sects.

When this news came, it didn't actually make people feel so shocked, especially Fang Yi, Fang Yi knew everything best, according to Fang Yi's previous guess, he thought that the Sword Saint would soon make a move on the other nine major sects, but he didn't expect that it would last until now.

It seems that the damage to the divine soul has a very big impact on the Sword Saint, otherwise with the character of the Sword Saint, there is no need to wait until now.

But now at this critical moment, it's also very fatal.

The Jianghu Sect sent many disciples to participate in the battle this time, if the Sword Saint made a move, they would not be able to rush back, the barbarian army was coming, coupled with the Sword Saint's infestation, the disciples of the Jianghu Sect participated in the battle on this front line, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to calm their hearts.

So this battle is tough.

Fang Yi carefully digested the news he got from everywhere and began to calculate it in his heart.

The Gu clan was so capricious, in fact, Fang Yi knew it in his heart, before the demon rebellion, there was the shadow of the Gu King behind him, in other words, from the very beginning, the Gu King never thought of coexisting peacefully with Da Li.

Although Fang Yi didn't understand why the Gu King was so persistent in attacking Dali, he was very clear that the purpose of the Gu King had never changed from the beginning.

This time, it's a fight to the death.
