Mo Shaoqing hurriedly took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to him. Xia Xie opened the parchment scroll and took a look. There were a lot of clauses on it. Then he cast a grateful look at Mo Shaoqing.
He smiled and said: "Since we are a coalition, each tribe must report the number of soldiers and horses and slaves and livestock carried by Wu Ding before sunset today. Those sitting here are all the leaders of each tribe, and they are also prestigious in Yunmengze.
But military discipline is as strong as a mountain, so if anyone violates military discipline, don’t blame me for being rude."
Then he walked to Tu Tian Yunyi and said with a smile: "Tu Tian Yunyi has high moral character and high respect, so I will leave the position of military supervisor to you. I wonder if you are willing?"
Tu Tianyunyi smiled and said: "The military orders are like mountains. As long as I am still breathing, the alliance leader can rest assured. If any of my subordinates disobey the orders, I will take care of them for you."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Thank you. Mo Shaoqing, please pass on the military regulations."
Mo Shaoqing took a step forward, opened the sheepskin scroll in his hand and shouted:
"Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed."
"Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed."
"Those who cause trouble, spread rumors, fight privately with weapons, and disturb the morale of our military will be beheaded."
At this time, Shen Tu Lei and more than a dozen Blood Fiend Guards brought up more than a dozen boxes. As soon as they opened them, a light suddenly shone. Many of the tribe leaders' eyes went straight.
Mo Shaoqing coughed and said:
"The first to defeat the enemy will be rewarded."
"Whoever captures the enemy leader will be rewarded."
"Those who have repeatedly achieved military exploits will be rewarded."
All the tribal leaders immediately fell silent. Tu Tian Yunyi bowed and said: "Everything must obey the leader's orders. The alliance will win and the Frost Tiger will lose."
The important people below were at a loss what to say, so they responded one after another.
Xia Xie finally wiped the sweat off his head and thought to himself: "I'll fucking pass this level."
Night time.
There were bonfires all over the joint camp, which looked like stars in the sky from a distance. The great witches were patrolling, drinking and chatting with nothing to do. The vast military camp suddenly became very lively.
Xia Xie sat in the military tent and finally sent everyone away. He held a pile of parchment scrolls and sighed sadly.
This turmoil affected more than 70 tribes, large and small, and Xia Xie knew it well. However, there were more than 100 tribal leaders who came. Of course, some people came to take advantage of the situation. After all, a war of this scale is not a new year.
Some years.
There were a lot of people and the team was messy. Most of the people, Xia Xie, still didn’t know which one it was. Anyway, it was just a ball of paste. So after a long time, he threw them aside and lay down on the squat.
A sheepskin scroll escaped from his arms and he opened it, and lines of beautiful small characters came into view. This sheepskin scroll was handed over to him by Shaokang yesterday. It was said to be from Huo Ling'er, but when he opened it, he found that it was given to him by Tang Caixin.
letter.
There was nothing special in the letter, but the few sentences conveyed a warm feeling of longing. Thinking of the chance encounters with Tang Caixin and those embarrassing things, her heart always felt sweet. Xia Xie thought to himself: "Maybe
It’s the season of spring, right?”
Shaokang came in with a tired voice. Seeing Xia Xie lying on the couch, he cursed: "You are very comfortable, kid. I am almost exhausted."
Xia Xie hurriedly sat up, then supported him to a low position and said with a smile: "I really can't be the leader of this bad alliance. You are such a mess. Just now, two tribes almost fought over a livestock.
I’m just depressed.”
Shaokang sighed and said, "Be virtuous. I wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but old man Yunyi fell in love with you. My eyes are red with jealousy. If we win this battle, your name will probably spread throughout southern Xinjiang."
Xia Xie smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I was a little bit happy. But knowing that it was so troublesome, I agreed that day."
Shaokang smiled and said: "Come on, don't be too good to get a bargain. How about the number of troops?"
Xia Xie sighed and said: "Stop talking, more than a hundred heads came. But the number of people they brought was far less than I originally imagined. The maximum number of people from the Tutian tribe was only seven thousand. The Ding Wu was less than one
Thousands. Most of the remaining eight large tribes have four to five thousand. As for the smaller tribes, they range from two thousand to one hundred. The full number is just over eighty thousand."
Shaokang was stunned and said: "So few? I have paid attention to the movements of the Frost Tiger Tribe these days. I heard spies from some tribes report that the Frost Tiger Tribe is mobilizing troops and has mobilized all the surrounding tribes. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 at least.
All the belongings have been used. Everyone here has selfish motives, but we can't blame them for this. When they come, who will pay tribute? If it weren't for revenge, they probably wouldn't be able to get together. If the Tutian tribe didn't
Such a huge loss might give us some prestige. But now, the east side is already a plate of loose sand."
Xia Xenai smiled and said: "Hey, I'm afraid that the fake leader of the alliance won't be able to survive this level. Do you have any plans?"
Shaokang shook his head and said: "Not yet. We still need to wait until the two sides fight before we can make a conclusion. What are you going to do next?"
At this time, Mo Shaoqing came in with a bag of food in his hand. When he saw Shaokang, he smiled and said, "My brother is here too. You must be exhausted today. Why don't you go and rest?"
Shaokang smiled at the aroma wafting out of the food wrapped in trees: "Hey, I finally understand. A married woman is like water poured out. I have been tired for a day without eating, and I haven't seen you.
Send me some?"
Mo Shaoqing suddenly blushed, then put the food on the table and said, "Isn't this brought for you? Why are you waiting if you don't want to eat?"
Shaokang stood up and said: "Forget it, I am not so lucky anymore. Go back and wash up and go to bed. You two can chat slowly." After saying that, he disappeared.
Xia Xie felt really hungry when he smelled the fragrance, so he hurriedly opened the leaves and found a roasted golden pheasant inside. So he devoured it.
Mo Shaoqing poured him a cup of tea, put it on the table and said with a smile, "Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke."
Xia Xie nodded and asked with his mouth full of oil: "This chicken is so delicious. How did you make it?"
Mo Shaoqing said with a smile: "That year, my brother and I were fleeing for safety. We accidentally hid in a farmer's house and were starving. So we stole two chickens, but there were no fire tools, so we wrapped them in mud and threw them there.
It was put in the stove of the farmhouse. It ended up smelling like this when it was taken out."
Xia Xie took two bites and then smiled and said: "You have suffered a lot here. I said that my father always protected you so much at home. By the way, I am worried. Now the tribe is in chaos.
Do you have any good ideas?"
Mo Shaoqing smiled and said: "You finish eating first, I will explain it to you in detail later. Leading troops to fight is not like playing chess in the past. Thousands of people died at every turn. You can't be careless. This time you have such a heavy weight on your shoulders.
You have to bear the burden, please don’t behave like before.”
Xia Xie took a few more bites, then put the chicken aside and said, "You tell me, I'm full."
It was rare for Mo Shaoqing to be so obedient. So he took out the sheepskin scrolls, sorted them, piled them up and said with a smile: "If the army wants to follow orders and prohibitions, it must make every general clear about his responsibilities. Otherwise,
These trivial things every day will annoy you to death. Our army camp can only have a maximum of twenty generals. The Tutian tribe accounts for one-tenth of the entire army, so Tutianluan can enter. The remaining eight tribes
You can also enter. The vacant places require the election of four combat generals from these small tribes. Let the four of them have full authority to command the people of those small tribes. If something goes wrong, punish them."
"Tu Tian Yunyi is responsible for supervising the army, so he can be counted as one. This makes a total of fourteen combat generals. The remaining six positions include two for internal and external service. These four people are in charge of all logistics affairs of the army. You allocate the troops to them. The last two
One of them is a scout battalion, which is responsible for detecting enemy movements. The other is a messenger battalion, which is responsible for contacting various tribes and coordinating the issuance of orders."
"Each of these twenty senior generals will be promoted to their own accounts in the camp. They will handle their own military affairs every day. Then they will come and report to you. What you are responsible for is the overall war. For the rest, you only need to distinguish rewards and punishments.
They will naturally handle those trivial matters themselves. They are all the leaders of the tribe, and they are far better at handling these things than you. Wouldn’t this make it a lot easier for you?”
When Xia Xie heard this, it turned out to be clear and reasonable. Then he smiled and said, "As expected, you still have two brushes before you come out."
Mo Shaoqing stood up and said: "It's getting late. You should rest early. I'll go back first." After saying that, he was ready to leave.
Xia Xie hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute."
Mo Shaoqing turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xia Xie originally wanted to ask her about the engagement, but he thought about it and forgot about it, so as not to make her angry later, so he smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back and rest early. Thank you for helping so much."
Mo Shaoqing smiled calmly and said, "You are so glib and annoying." Then he turned around and disappeared.
Outside the tent, Shentu Lei and Taoist Duobao looked surprised. Taoist Duobao said, "How do you calculate this? There was no fight?"
Shen Tu Lei also touched the back of his head and said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be? This is not the style of the two of them. I guess the young master was knocked silly this morning."
Taoist Duobao shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, let's talk about it another day."
Early the next morning, Xia Xie conveyed his order. With Tu Tian Yunyi's full support, these things were quickly implemented. Three thousand cauldrons were allocated to wait for Umno to manage the slave logistics. Another thousand cauldron witches were allocated.
As scouts, another thousand low-level wizards served as messengers. After distributing mounts to them, the army gradually took shape.
Among the twenty people who entered the army camp, except for Tu Tianluan and Tu Tianyunyi, the remaining eight people were Nanqiu Fire Cloud Transformed into Snake, Junchen Mountain, Xiongsongqinyuan, Qifeiyu, Shahuxiangxi Shuqionghuo,
The other four selected combat generals are all from small tribes. They are Cang Langhou, Gui Che, Cheng Fei, Lian and Jinli, who have more than enough strength.
The last person in charge of the logistics was Shaokang Ming She Ao, Taotie Yin in the scout battalion, and Shen Tu Lei in the messenger battalion. The core generals were basically formed.
According to Mo Shaoqing's arrangement, Xia Xie divided the strongest Tutian clan and the remaining six large tribes and four small tribes into two armies. They went out to camp for training every day in accordance with military orders. The army stopped at
After the Shaokang camp stayed for ten days, an auspicious day was chosen to offer sacrifices to heaven and prepare to set off.
On the day the army set out, Xia Xie and the others got up early in the morning. They built a high altar between the military camps. All the witches went out in costume. Although the Southern Barbarians were wilderness, most of the witches generally wore animal skins. But basically every witch
Wear a decent witch robe to participate in such an important ceremony.
The great witches formed a huge circle according to their respective levels, with the altar as the center. The closer to the circle, the higher the shaman's cauldron. Then the witches behind them lined up in order.
As the most virtuous and respected member of the tribe, Tu Tian Yunyi must be the chief priest. The old man was wearing a pitch-black witch robe today. The witch robe was covered with various totems of stars and the sky, edged with gold and silver threads, and embellished with various gemstones. It was extremely gorgeous.
There was a white jade belt around his waist and a pair of jade clogs on his feet. He suddenly felt a little more energetic.
The moment he stepped onto the altar, his rickety body suddenly straightened up. In just that moment, what everyone saw was no longer a dying old man who was seriously ill. Instead, they saw a fearful Cauldron Witch.
This is the first time in Xia Xie's life that he has participated in this kind of sacrificial activity. In the past, although the army in Kunwu also went out to worship heaven, he was a mortal and was not qualified to participate.
Although every shaman I saw today was kneeling on the ground, everyone looked proud. They respected heaven, not God.
When Tu Tian Yunyi stepped onto the top of the altar, the inconspicuous walking stick in his hand suddenly emitted a burst of dizzying golden light. All the great witches immediately kowtowed in the direction of the altar.
"In the name of the Cauldron Witch, I sincerely ask for blessings from heaven. May the army of our alliance be victorious. I offer my sacrifice."
After Tu Tian Yunyi finished shouting, all the shamans kneeling below stood up and knelt down again. Everyone shouted: "Sacrifice to the sky, bless our alliance's army to win."
Groups of livestock were immediately driven behind the witches. A group of cauldron witches took out their daggers and started slaughtering, and the sky was stained with blood for a while. Xia Xie took a curious look, and the witches were extremely prepared. They could kill with one knife.
He said, dismembering the carcasses of the animals into pieces. Then he sprinkled the blood at his feet, threw the heads of the animals in front of him, and threw the rest behind him.
Two quarters of an hour later, the slaughter continued. Streams of blood gradually flowed towards the altar. At this time, Tu Tianyunyi, who was standing on the top of the altar, also knelt down on the ground. Then he waved his hand. Suddenly, the blood of the animals on the ground was instantly covered with blood.
Flying off the ground and rushing towards the altar.
The heads of those animals were painted one after another, and streams of blood entangled around the pillars of blood. The blood circled around the altar and kept rising. Suddenly Tu Tian Yunyi roared: "Sacrifice to the sky!"
The golden light once again flourished with the burning fire stick. All the blood and bloody light gathered on top of his head and turned into a huge thick bloody light that shot straight into the sky.
Blood clouds rolled in the sky instantly, and thunder tore through the sky. Suddenly, a huge bloody vortex slowly formed in the sky. At this time, all the witches were kowtowing crazily and mumbling words. It looked extremely strange.
Suddenly, a heavy downpour fell instantly. But Xia Xie discovered that the heavy rain turned out to be of seven colors. At this time, all the witches stood up and let the heavy rain dye themselves into colorful colors. They began to dance on the ground with strange expressions.
Tu Tian Yunyi laughed loudly at this time and said: "God's blessing. I will win."
"We must win. We must win. We must win." The shouts from all around were getting louder and louder, filling the mountains and plains with excitement. Xia Xie couldn't help but shed tears. It turned out that the Wu clan was so unrestrained.
