Chapter 945: The First Battle of Xiangyang

The Jianghu announcement made it clear that the newly established sect has a three-day protection period and cannot start a sect war during this period. Not to mention the other sects in the Jianghu, even Fang Jie himself did not expect this restriction. However, after thinking about it, this is reasonable. Otherwise, no one would dare to build his own sect under the noses of so many official sects in the future...

The three-day buffer period is not long or short. It has its own advantages and disadvantages for Wangqing Pavilion and its hostile sects. Wangqing Pavilion can use these three days to further improve the system structure, run in the team, and improve the overall combat effectiveness. The hostile sect forces, especially the Wudang Sect, Ming Cult, and Shaolin Temple, can have enough time to gather the team and mobilize elites to help Jueqing Valley.

However, overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages after these three days are still greater than the disadvantages. At least there is no need to face Jueqing Valley in a hurry. After all, when the Wangqing Pavilion was established, the disciples of the entire sect were Fang Jie and the few elders present. Other troops took a certain amount of time to join Wangqing Pavilion and officially become his disciples. Although this work seems simple, it is very complicated. If you don’t do it well, there will be chaos. The 300,000 elite troops of Jueqing Valley who are rushing to Xiangyang City may take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the first thing Fang Jie did after establishing Wangqing Pavilion was to distribute the recruitment authority to the elders, so that these elders could act separately and turn the personnel of this force into disciples of Wangqing Pavilion as soon as possible. Of course, it is far from enough to just rely on the ten elders to carry out this work, so the recruitment authority could only be further issued to the brigades, squadrons and squadron leaders, so that they could recruit personnel within the organization as soon as possible.

But in this way, some middle-level backbone personnel violated Fang Jie's order due to the affection of relatives and friends or selfish intentions, and recruited some people outside the establishment of Wangqing Pavilion to join Wangqing Pavilion. As a result, during the three-day protection period, the total number of people in Wangqing Pavilion increased by 100,000 on the basis of the original 600,000 people, and the total population of the sect reached 700,000, most of them joined through the original Iron Palm Gang and the Luoyan Peak Line of Huashan.

Fang Jie was also helpless about this. After all, the law did not blame the masses, and it was understandable that each captain would recruit more or less one or two trustworthy people. It was impossible to completely prohibit the system in the early days of the establishment of Wangqing Pavilion. So Fang Jie finally called Qiu Xin and Ye Shunlong over and talked. After warning the two in a stern tone, he only used the captain who had recruited the most from a certain unit as a typical example of killing a chicken to warn the monkey. After dismissing him from Wangqing Pavilion, the matter was not pursued.

During this period, the situation around Xiangyang City also changed day by day.

When the first day approached Zi, Jue Sha brought 300,000 elite disciples from Jue Sha Valley to the city of Xiangyang. Although Wangqing Pavilion was still in the sect protection period, don’t forget that the night of killing in the past is Wujian, so Jue Sha came first. After Zishi, he sent a team of 10,000 deaths from Baihu Outer Gate, which was the West Gate, forcibly rushed into Xiangyang City.

The so-called death is not about dying, but about risking the loss of death punishment. It is clear that this ten thousand people alone will definitely not be able to do anything to the Wangqing Pavilion, which has completed the defense in the city. Therefore, this battle is just a costly test. I want to see how strong Fang Jie's so-called Wangqing Pavilion is.

Before launching an attack by killing, Fang Jie, who was well aware of human nature, had already expected that the opponent would do this. He was also determined to test his team's combat effectiveness and first asked Xinxin's city defense troops to guard the inner city walls without acting rashly, and then personally led a total of ten elite teams of 1,000 people to form an elite squadron of thousands to the west gate of the outer city to meet the enemy.

Of course, this also includes his two NPC companions and a senior martial arts player in Wangqing Pavilion. So although the number of people in Wangqing Pavilion is one-tenth of the other, the quality of the team is much higher than that of the opponent. After the two sides met, it was almost about to break out. The war instantly burned violently near the west gate of the outer city.

The first battle in Xiangyang kicked off

One against ten is the basic requirement that Fang Jie put forward for the elite squadron in the high-level meeting of the Wangqing Pavilion. The final result of this battle basically met this requirement. After two hours of bloody battle, the 10,000-person brigade on the side of the Jueqing Valley was eventually wiped out, while the elite squadron was only half reduced. Of course, this is also because Fang Jie personally participated in the battle. Otherwise, the elite squadron would not dare to say that it would be wiped out, but one of the ten shortcomings is absolutely possible.

After this battle, Jue Sha no longer sent a team to the city to die while the murder night. Fang Jie gathered ten elite team leaders together to hold a summary meeting when the people below cleaned the battlefield. At the meeting, Fang Jie first affirmed everyone's achievements during this period, and then changed his tone and scolded the crowd one by one.

"The statistics are out, and the battle loss ratio is impressive, but have you ever thought about it? Our comprehensive ranking of one thousand people can be at least among the top 100,000 in the world, and your opponent's comprehensive ranking is definitely beyond the millions in the world. So, such results are not worthy of our pride."

"...I want to quit the game. Are you a pig's head? You are all disciples of the Beggars' Sect. Don't you know how to use the lion roar? I know that the Beggars' Sect's world will not kill people, but Jueqing Valley is not good at internal strength. It is always okay to delay their fighting movements? You have to figure out which of our thousand elites is not higher than the opponent? Even if everyone is affected, it is the biggest impact on them. It will be fatal to delay the matchup of masters. If you delay a few seconds or make a subtle mistake, it will always kill people when fighting. So don't worry about whether people will die. As long as it is beneficial to us in general, and use a smaller price to exchange for greater results, any means can be used."

"And you, Ye Shunlong, your Huashan Sect is good at swordsmanship, while Jueqinggu is good at empty-handed skills. You can just do collective suppression, but what are you doing just now? Fighting alone and doing personal heroism. If you concentrate your troops to suppress the enemy's vanguard troops from the beginning, this battle will not be so chaotic, and we will not be able to die so many people... What do you want to say? Want to rush forward is equivalent to sending death? Who do you think you are? Are you Linghu Chong? Even if you are all Linghu Chong, you have to obey the collective interests and be wiped out by the whole army? Are you afraid that I will not reimburse you for the loss of death? You are engaged in mountain doctrine, don't blame me for not warning you. If you still want to continue to hang out in Wangqing Pavilion, just put away your set. Wangqing Pavilion does not need stragglers like you."

"Sun, you laugh, your squad is all strong men from the Tomb Sect. You are only good at striking, but you led your own squad to rush up. Now, your squad died completely. If I hadn't saved it in time, you, the commander of the bare feet, would have to be reimbursed... What? Sword technique for the same in return? Are you an idiot? Surrounded by so many people, you have won the enemy together, and the enemy can still do your best. I'm not encouraging you to carry forward the fearless spirit of sacrifice, but even if you sacrifice, you have to make at least get more capital back? If you adopt the striking tactic, your squad will be fine. Remember it for me. Next time you fight, stay in the periphery of striking."

"Xiao Yao, your team cooperates very well, with the least casualties, which is worthy of recognition, but the number of killings is also the least, so the overall strength needs to be strengthened, at least you must be able to bear the word "elite"... After passing away, I don't want to say about you. Where did your team get people? Well, Blood Knife Gate? I originally wanted you to build a 30,000-person Lion Roar Special Team based on the elite team, but you are fine. I have set up a melee hand-to-hand combat team for me. Now I order you to disband this team immediately. In the next battle, if you still can't find someone, just go up and yell and apologize to me for death."

"This time, the best performance is to be a despicable Jiangnan, the squad of the Pearl of the Palm, Tang Le and Han Qinglu, but other people are not remarkable except Tang Le. As for Romanzi's troops, they are the special team of our elite squadron. The comprehensive strength of the personnel is enough to enter the top 100 in the world, so it is taken for granted that there are no losses to the personnel, and it is not worth boasting."

"Anyway, I'm very dissatisfied with your performance this time. After you go back, you will honestly continue to hone your team and develop tactics that meet your own characteristics. As for the death loss this time, you can count it. After the battlefield is cleaned, I will distribute the death subsidy to you in the form of potential pills."

The ten elite squads that have just formed did not fight well without combat experience. At least in Fang Jie's opinion, there is 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 putting out fires and killing people everywhere, so the lack of unified command and dispatch is also one of the problems.

Of course, Fang Jie intentionally did not participate in command this time. After all, he would not have so much time and energy to participate in every battle in Wangqing Pavilion in the future. Therefore, 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. With this lesson, I believe that no matter how stupid the military leaders of each department would not be able to fight indiscriminately like today.

As for the issue of loss subsidy for death penalty, Fang Jie and Yiling finally decided that after a while, the death penalty losses of all elite disciples and city defense disciples who died in the formal battle of Wangqing Pavilion or during the collective organization leveling will be borne by the Wangqing Pavilion financial system, and then gradually relax policies to other disciples in the future. This means that Wangqing Pavilion still provides full personal insurance for some personnel in this sect when the economic conditions are extremely low.

This policy can be said to be under great economic pressure for Wangqing Pavilion, but it is a great blessing for the elite disciples and the city defense forces. The series of benign effects caused by this are obvious. For example, when elite disciples kill the enemy, they will not be so timid, and their combat power has been increased by at least 30%. In addition, the cohesion and centripetal force of the sect have been greatly improved. In every battle, the disciples must be united and ready to die. There must be more ordinary disciples who have sharpened their heads and want to join the elite team, so they will crazily improve their strength to meet the conditions for joining.

In fact, although there were only 500 death losses in this battle alone, if each person had to consume at least 500 million potential points, Wangqing Pavilion would have to supplement the potential pill worth 250 million taels of gold. Wangqing Pavilion was no longer money at this time, and it was established on the same day. Fang Jie did not set a sect captive tax before the hour of the hour, so this money could only be taken out of the sect captive tax at the next day.

This means that Fang Jie said that he would subsidize death losses in the future is just an excuse. Not to mention 250 million yuan, he would not be able to take out even 50 million yuan in cash.

Of course, Wangqing Pavilion is not a welfare home. While promulgating this policy, Fang Jie also issued Wangqing Pavilion's head tax standards: the daily head tax for elite disciples and the city defense forces is tentatively set to two golds, of which two golds are mandatory personal injury insurance and two golds are normal head taxes, while the head tax for ordinary disciples is suspended to 1,000 taels of gold, and will be gradually reduced depending on the situation.

At the beginning, the standard for collecting the capitation tax naturally aroused opposition from many elite disciples and city defense disciples. After all, in extraordinary times, it is better to say a basic capitation tax of 1,000 taels of gold a day, but the insurance amount of more than 10,000 taels of gold a day is too sensational. However, after Fang Jie explained it through the sect announcement, the opposition gradually subsided.

The reason is very simple. Fang Jie just did some calculations for everyone: after each death, each full-level martial arts will lose 50 levels, consume more than 15 million potential, equivalent to 150,000 taels of gold. Calculated by the average of each elite disciple with fifty full-level martial arts, the loss of each death is 7.5 million taels of gold. 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.

It is obvious that Wangqing Pavilion is facing a crisis at the moment, and there are still several major battles to fight later. Many people are determined to die. Even without these messes, no one can guarantee that they will not have an accident within two years. Therefore, this insurance is still worth it. It can even be said that Fang Jie does not want to squeeze the hard-earned money of his players under his sect, but a kind of welfare guarantee for all elite disciples and city defense disciples. Wangqing Pavilion will inevitably pay for money when implementing this policy. As for more posts, it depends on how many people will die within two years...

Therefore, Wangqing Pavilion can receive 1 billion taels of gold every day just for the sect's head tax. Of course, this is only temporary. After all, although the insurance system has benefited some disciples, the daily head tax of 1,000 taels of gold is still much higher than the standards of all sects in the world. But the same is true, it is treated very much in extraordinary times. Although the disciples under the sect have made some slight remarks about the high head tax, for Fang Jie and for the initial establishment of Wangqing Pavilion, everyone can temporarily accept such reality and plan to wait and see for a while. If Wangqing Pavilion fails in this crisis, it will naturally be considered unlucky. If it survives, everyone believes that the situation will soon change.

During the next two days of protection, Jueqing Valley did not launch any attacks. The killing only drew five temporary 100,000 regular teams from the sect base to the city of Xiangyang. Then every two teams blocked the city gate in one direction and completely surrounded Xiangyang City.

Obviously, although the ability of the killer is limited, he is not a reckless man. If he sends a team to rush into Xiangyang City to die, regardless of the loss of death, it will be difficult for him to sit in the position of the head of the sect to be safe. After all, there is no personal insurance system for Jueqing Valley, and his subordinates are willing to work hard for him. Once they die once, this extremely fragile sense of collective honor will collapse instantly. For example, the team will automatically disband after the entire army was wiped out and returned to the sect base. All the team members are busy restoring their skills levels at this time, and have lost their previous leaks and interest in participating in the battle between Jueqing Valley and Wangqing Pavilion.

Of course, even if they still have this kind of missing points and interest, their strength has dropped by a level and they have lost the qualification to continue to participate in the battle...

Before Jueqing Valley completely surrounded Xiangyang City, the 500,000 regular group of Wangqing Pavilion who came from Taoyuan Town had already entered Xiangyang City. However, the defense tasks arranged by Fang Jie for these people were beyond everyone's expectations. Fang Jie directly threw the 500,000 people into Juyi Pavilion, which is the only martial arts hall in Xiangyang City, and ordered these people to temporarily pay out of their own pockets to level up in the martial arts hall dungeon and prohibit going out.

Ordinary disciples naturally want to ask Fang Jie for this arrangement. After all, the crisis encountered by Wangqing Pavilion this time is extraordinary, and all ordinary disciples are not optimistic about it. If these players were not from the Iron Palm Gang, if these people had not been suppressed by the Wudang Sect for a long time, they had already developed a firm mind. If Qiu Xin had not stood up from time to time and tried his best to appease everyone with his prestige, I'm afraid these people would have left Wangqing Pavilion to go to other sects. So since Fang Jie did not intend to let them come out to work hard, they would have been happy and watched the fun aside.

But the senior executives of Wangqing Pavilion, except Qiu Xin, showed great concern about Fang Jie's arrangement. In fact, the reason why the senior executives could chat and laugh at the beginning was that the 500,000 regular group disciples brought by Qiu Xin. Because compared with Jueqing Valley, 500,000 to 800,000, the problem was not big. If Fang Jie personally commanded, I believe Jueqing Valley would definitely lose. As for the fact that Ming Cult, Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect were going to send troops to come... everyone filtered it out intentionally or unintentionally. After all, in their opinion, the result was actually no suspense, so it would be better to be a monk and hit the bell for a day and just live by.

Unfortunately, a group of unconfident senior officials had to live in less than two days. As soon as the sect protection period passed, what they were worried about still happened irreversibly. The heads of the three major sects of the Ming Cult, Shaolin Temple, and Wudang Sect also issued a sect announcement to the entire sect, announcing that the three sects would start a sect war against Wangqing Pavilion and decided to send a joint force with a total number of 1.8 million.

"According to the spies' returns, there are currently 700,000 people from the Ming Cult, 300,000 people from Shaolin Temple, and 800,000 people from Wudang Sect are coming from Luoyang, Zhongzhou and Jingzhou..." Murong Shanshan, who is in charge of intelligence work, reported the information obtained from various places to Fang Jie with concern.
