Chapter 151 Died for the country

If Qin Fei knew all this, he would definitely find it ridiculous. But the serious demon army was not vague at all. Under the leadership of Khan Tuoba Hong, three teams of 10,000 people quickly organized, and a large number of food and supplies armed the demon soldiers to their teeth. They decisively headed towards Qin Fei's area in three directions. Countless rafts were spread across the junction of the grassland and the northern border, hoping to find out the northern border immigrant army that "doesn't exist at all."

The unusual movements of the demon army fell into the eyes of the spies of the Northern Frontier Army. They did not dare to neglect and immediately gave the military information back to the Yan Prince's Mansion.

The meeting hall of the Yan Prince's Mansion was crowded with generals from the northern border. The Yan King sat upright in the middle, and the generals of all sizes stood in the stairs, respectfully.

"Tuoba Hong mobilized three 10,000 teams to our northern border, which was the largest provocation in the past two years. For what purpose did he want to start a war?" King Yan said slowly.

The subordinates and generals were talking about it, but they had no clue. They wanted to break their heads, but they could not guess that Tuoba Hong's strong reaction was just because the demons' estimates were wrong.

Shi Xingliu was a general in the eighth town. The demon clan approached his defense zone. There were 8,000 officers and soldiers in the eighth town. This force was not enough for Tuoba Hong to drink a pot when facing the demon army that was almost four times his. Shi Xingliu was also a little worried. If Tuoba Hong’s goal was really his own, then if there were any mistakes in the eighth town, as a general, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of his leadership.

"The King of Yan, the demons are cunning and cruel. They cannot do things according to common sense. Since Tuoba Hong brought 30,000 troops to compete with our Northern Frontier Army, we might as well give him a warning. In the beginning of spring, he can keep the border safe for a year." Shi Xingliu walked out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "I think it is better to mobilize the army and horses of the eight towns and attack head-on. If you are lucky, you may be able to capture Tuoba Hong alive."

The King of Yan shook his head slowly: "I never rely on luck to fight. I have to make a decision before moving! The total number of officers and soldiers in the eight towns is as high as 70,000. Our marching and fighting is different from the demons. Including logistics supply and supplies, it takes more than 150,000 people to mobilize in a hurry, and come prepared with the demons. They are two completely different concepts. If you suffer a defeat, then..."

The King of Yan did not continue, but all the generals knew what he meant. In recent years, large-scale battles between the demons and the northern border rarely broke out. Generally, you will produce hundreds of thousands of people, and I will produce eight hundred and eight hundred people. Everyone will make a small fuss. Tuoba Hong was to preserve his strength and eliminate his brother Tuoba Lie as soon as possible, and he was unwilling to consume his strength on the Northern Frontier Army. The King of Yan could not afford it. His ambitions were well known to everyone. Once a large-scale battle occurred in the northern border, the Emperor of Chu would be happy to see Tuoba Hong, and Tuoba Lie consumed most of the King of Yan's military. In that case, the Northern Frontier Army would no longer be a big threat to the court!

The generals whispered again, but still had no idea. The large-scale battle was fought, and the King of Yan was unwilling to fight, but it was a fact that the 30,000 demon clan troops were stationed on the border. We had to use swords and guns. Wherever the demon clan went, we would give in. Such a non-resistance policy would be scolded to death by the people of the world, and at the same time, it also gave the court a reason to squeeze the Northern Frontier Army.

Shi Xing looked at the father and son of Yan with a gaze. He was the first to be affected by the eighth town. His relationship was profitable and naturally he did not want to lose anything.

Since Chu Yang was taught a lesson by his father, he also seemed a little more mature and did not express his opinions easily. Now that he saw that the generals could not discuss the key points, he was a little impatient and walked out quickly and said loudly: "Father, our eighth town official army is definitely not enough to fight against Tuoba Hong. Now that the demon army is on the border, Yu Li, we might as well send an envoy to ask first what Tuoba Hong meant? If he wanted to fight, our Northern Frontier Army would not be outdone, just fight."

Shi Xingliu shouted: "He wants to fight, so he fights, and we have thousands of brothers in the Northern Frontier Army..."

King Yan waved his hand: "Stop doing this, now it is not a pre-war mobilization, you don't need to yell."

After saying that, the King of Yan stood up and walked to the wall with his hands on his back to the northern border map. Looking at the map almost as big as the entire wall, red and green on it marked the distribution of military power between the enemy and us. He was a veteran who had been through the battlefield. These colors fell into his eyes and the scene of thousands of troops could immediately reflect in his mind.

He was indeed unable to guess Tuoba Hong's intentions, but he was unwilling to use his son's opinion to send someone to ask? The King of Yan has never shown weakness so much. However, the situation in the court is a bit complicated now. The Seventh Princess of Wu came to Dongdu to get engaged with the prince, and Qin Fei brought people to the northern border. This was a clear signal that the court was preparing to take action against the northern border. At this critical moment, Tuoba Hong came to the King of Yan to make an angry heart, and he was almost furious.

"Since Tuoba Hong has come to our northern border from afar, how could he not give him a warning?" King Yan did not look back at his subordinates, but continued to stare at the map and shouted coldly: "I remember that when I first came to the northern border twenty years ago, the situation in the northern border was very bad. The demon army was like an unmanned land. Sometimes, dozens of demon soldiers could chase hundreds of northern border officials and dare not fight?"

"At that time, the Northern Army was terrified of demons. As long as the demon army approached, a large number of officers and soldiers sneaked away at night. There were too many people who used the excuse to go to Xiaojie during the march, and then they would never return. The army had no confidence to fight against the demons. When the people heard that the demons came, they took their families and died in the end."

"What changed all this?" King Yan said in a deep voice: "It's me. I use my three thousand personal soldiers as the basis. I bravely kill the enemy in every battle, and lead the army into the grassland five times. Whether it is against the barbarians or demons, I will lead the army and kill countless enemies. After battles, the Northern Army gradually developed confidence. Later, as long as the demons came, the Northern Army felt that they were sending military merits! No officers and soldiers were willing to be deserters, and no one was afraid of the demons. When the common people heard that the demons had arrived, they would not move as long as they could see the Northern Army nearby. Because they knew that the Northern Army was the nemesis of the demons."

The words of the King of Yan made the generals bow their heads deeply. Yes, for more than 20 years, the King of Yan and the Northern Frontier Army have been terrifying the north because of the reputation of the King of Yan's bloody battles. There is no reason for the soldiers of the Northern Frontier to regard the King of Yan as a god and as their beliefs. But now, Tuoba Hong is approaching 30,000 troops, but the generals of the Northern Frontier who have enjoyed the peace of mind for several years feel embarrassed?

In their minds, when they were a soldier and a young general, they followed around the King of Yan and fought against the demons. Their horses were tied with the heads of countless demon generals, and their long swords and battle axes shattered the bodies of many demon generals. Could it be that a few years of comfort have made these heroes of those back then shrink?

Shi Xingliu took two steps and shouted sternly: "King Yan, if Tuoba Hong dares to come, we dare to mess with him. The eight thousand officers and soldiers of the Eighth Town are willing to be the vanguard and fight to the death with Tuoba Hong."

The King of Yan felt a little relieved. It seemed that his words had not failed. Most of these generals were promoted by themselves through their military achievements. They used to be good men who killed countless enemies, including legendary figures who climbed from small soldiers to deputy generals step by step. Since their bloodiness has aroused, the next thing will be much easier.

The King of Yan said lightly: "The Eighth Town is the vanguard? I don't think it is necessary. To fight Tuoba Hong, we don't consume too much strength. We have to concentrate our troops and annihilate them separately. I want two towns of troops. Who else dares to go besides the Eighth Town?"

The word "dare" deeply stimulated the excited generals. Many people rushed to yell and demanded to fight the devils to the death, and the scene was once very chaotic.

King Yan's eyes fell on the first town leader Youlong and said lightly: "Do you dare to go?"

Youlong patted his chest: "I've never been afraid."

King Yan looked at Youlong with appreciation. The first town was the cornerstone of his foothold in the northern border. The soldiers here were all veterans who had been through the battlefield. The rich combat experience, strict training, excellent equipment, and high quality of soldiers were all incomparable to other towns. Youlong, the chief general of the first town, was also his confidant general. He was proficient in military tactics and had extraordinary cultivation. The first town had 10,000 troops. In the heart of the king of Yan, these 10,000 people could be worth another 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

"The first and eighth towns, I will bring two thousand elite soldiers, a total of 20,000 people." The King of Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not hide his murderous intention: "I will use these 20,000 people to compete with Tuoba Hong's 30,000 demon cavalry."

"As for your order, let's go back and arrange it." Youlong said with his fist.

"You can wait." King Yan's eyes moved back to the map. In the intertwined enemy and me distribution map, there was a disgusting black dot. The location of this dot happened to be in the mouth of the encirclement bag made of Tuoba Hong's 30,000 troops.

"This is more than 100 people from the Wolf Tooth Army." Shi Xingliu explained: "Qin Fei and his group of young master soldiers are completely a group of waste in such a large-scale battle and can't count on anything. We can ignore it."

King Yan looked at the black dot quietly, as if he wanted to see the flower. After a while, he said lightly: "I think it's very interesting. Once the battle breaks out, Qin Fei and his group of young masters are just at the center of the conflict between the two armies. His personal cultivation is already pretty good, but it's useless in the battle. If we encounter this group of soldiers in the battle, what do you plan to do?"

Shi Xing blinked his eyes and immediately understood what the King of Yan meant, and whispered: "Although Qin Fei is brave, his strength is limited. He accidentally got involved in a large-scale war in the northern border, and it is inevitable that he will die in his country."
