Li Dao took the token smoothly, with a little surprise on his face, and said, "General Hou, do you really believe me so much?"
Because of his background, he is very familiar with some things in the military.
Especially with the token in his hand, he understood exactly what it represented.
To put it simply, with the status of temporary commander, he can now use this token to mobilize these generals at will, and even let them die. If they do not obey the order, they will disobey the military order and be beheaded. sin.
Hearing this, Hou Yuanliang shook his head and said, "It's not that I believe in you, but that we have no choice now but to believe in you."
"After all, no matter what I choose so far, the ending will not be worse than now."
Li Dao nodded, as if he understood the white-haired veteran's thoughts. This was a last-ditch attempt to gamble with their lives and others.
If you lose the bet, it will still be the original outcome; if you win the bet, you will make a lot of money.
"General Hou, take a look over there. What are they doing?"
At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing this, everyone looked back following the man's gaze.
As a result, they found that the Northern Barbarian soldiers who had just surrounded them began to slowly retreat, getting away from them little by little.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Tong couldn't help but said, "No way, these barbarians are not thinking about retreating."
Then someone else said, "They want to retreat? Why is that? Now they only need to deal with all of us, and they will have easy access to Fufeng Pass. How can they choose to retreat at this time?"
Finally, someone looked at Li Dao and others and said, "It can't be because of them."
Hou Yuanliang watched every move of the Beiman soldiers from the side. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly showed a solemn expression and said, "No, they are not retreating."
"Then they are..."
"They are arranging their troops."
The entire army arrayed?
Everyone looked surprised when they heard this.
Because the lowest-ranking generals present today are all captains, each of them is very aware of the behavior of forming an army array.
Under normal circumstances, when the number of people is small, the main purpose of forming an army into formation is to adjust one's own lineup to facilitate a better confrontation with the enemy and reduce unnecessary losses.
But once the number of people reaches tens of thousands, the formation of the entire army will be different.
An army formation of this magnitude is, on the one hand, to integrate the army so that it can be easily commanded by the commander, and on the other hand, it is to gather the military strength better and faster, so as to bring out the true strength of an army of ten thousand people.
In the past, the opponent was not so cautious when encircling and suppressing them after breaking the city, and now the serious formation of the army was obviously not for them.
In other words, there were some people on their side who aroused the fear of the Northern Barbarian generals, so they had no choice but to reorganize their troops.
As a result, everyone's eyes fell on Li Dao and others.
It was obvious that what the other side was afraid of was this cavalry team that had fought its way through the crowd of thousands of soldiers.
And this immediately made these generals look at the cavalry team in front of them in a new light again.
You know, the last time someone could attract such attention was Zhenbei Hou Shengchun.
This shows that the commanders of the barbarians on the opposite side regard this cavalry team as seriously as the Marquis of Zhenbei.
On the side, Zhao Tong pulled Zhang Meng and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Meng, what you said before is definitely true."
"It really can't be true anymore!"
Zhang Meng said with admiration, "Boss, he is amazing."
Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Zhao Tong and said, "Boss Zhao, how about you also recognize our boss as your boss?"
Zhao Tong: "???"
What's going on?
Recognize your subordinates as your boss?
Then he must be so upset that he just goes to be someone else's little brother.
But, the next second...
Sensing the aura coming from Zhang Meng, Zhao Tong's pupils shrank and he said with a look of shock, "Zhang Meng, when did you become the first-grade acquired day? I remember that you just broke through before I left the Huangsha Town camp. Third level acquired."
Seeing Zhao Tong being so surprised, Zhang Meng explained cheerfully, "The reason why he broke through so quickly is of course because he followed our boss. If you don't believe me, you can look at other people. Their progress is not much worse than mine."
Zhao Tong looked back.
It seems that in order to cooperate with Zhang Meng's words, Xue Bing and others also revealed their cultivation aura.
After seeing it clearly, Zhao Tong couldn't close his mouth.
It’s only been more than a month since we last met, and it’s not like we haven’t seen each other for several years. Why are all his men so fierce?
Especially the centurions under his command before, all of them were at the first level of acquired cultivation, and there were even a few who were at the peak of acquired cultivation, just one step away from being able to break through the innate level.
This has almost caught up with his cultivation level.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Tong suddenly looked back at Zhang Meng and asked, "Is this all Li Dao's credit?"
"Yes, it's all the boss's fault."
After hearing this, Zhao Tong felt that it was not a bad thing to recognize a boss. After all, there were real benefits in front of him.
Moreover, Li Dao, the boss, is no longer the little leader he used to be.
As early as he received the token given to him by General Hou, he was already the temporary commander of Fufeng Pass.
There is nothing shameful about having a commander-in-chief as your boss. On the contrary, it should be very respectable.
...
Seeing the cautious reaction of the Northern Barbarian soldiers, Hou Yuanliang was not surprised but happy, because it meant that his choice was correct.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask, "Are you at the Grandmaster level?"
According to the reaction of the Northern Barbarian soldiers, just a cavalry team that can unite the army is not enough to make the opponent do this. After all, it is only a cavalry team of 300 people, and the opponent has an army of tens of thousands. The difference in magnitude is there. Set.
Therefore, in his impression, only masters at the master level can be treated with such caution by the barbarians on the opposite side.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Dao directly shook his head and denied his question.
"I'm not a master."
Not a Grandmaster?
Hou Yuanliang's expression was stunned.
If he wasn't a master, then why would the other party be so afraid of him?
And what Li Dao said next almost made him dodge his waist.
Just listen to Li Dao slowly say, "Although I am not a grandmaster, I have killed grandmasters."
Hou Yuanliang: "???"
Not a Grandmaster?
But killed the Grandmaster?
Could it be that he is a great master?
Then this is even more impossible.
If the boy in front of him was a grand master, it wouldn't be so troublesome to deal with these northern barbarian soldiers in front of him. He could just push them sideways.
Even if you only need to reveal the identity of the Grand Master, these people will not be frightened and run away.
Just when he was full of questions, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him.
He looked up and saw that Li Dao was holding out a large water bag made of sheepskin.
"This is......"
Hou Yuanliang looked at Li Dao with curiosity.
Li Dao said bluntly, "While the other party is reorganizing their army, you should also take good care of your injuries."
"I added something to the water in this water bag to help you recover quickly."
Looking at the injuries on these people, if they weren't all innate warriors, the injuries on some of them would have killed them long ago on ordinary people.
After hearing this, Hou Yuanliang opened the water bag and immediately smelled a scent that penetrated his nose.
Just by smelling it, he felt that he had become much more energetic.
He picked up the water bag and took a sip, then closed his eyes and felt it.
After a few breaths.
Hou Yuanliang's eyes lit up when he saw the water bag, and he couldn't help but say, "Good stuff!"
He raised his head and looked at Li Dao, and said seriously, "Thank you."
Because he knows what this kind of thing represents.
It means that these generals under him have greater hope of survival.
Afterwards, Hou Yuanliang came to the remaining generals with a water bag in hand.
After some explanation, a group of people finally drank all the water in the water bag.
During this period, Zhao Tong took the water bag and was about to drink it. Zhang Meng on the side couldn't help but remind him, "Boss Zhao, drink this water and you will understand why we have become so strong."
Seeing a group of people splitting up the water in the water bag, Xiao Hei beside Li Dao couldn't help but whine twice, with a wronged expression in his big eyes.
Because the water bag contains its rations.
How could he feel better now as he watched his rations being given away by his master?
Li Dao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Okay, don't feel wronged. I will double the compensation for you when you get back."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei's eyes lit up, and then he put away his little expression.
When a group of people drank the water, they had a quick reaction.
Because they had no evil thoughts towards Li Dao, there was no rejection reaction and they easily absorbed the precious blood in the water.
After a while, everyone came to their senses.
Those injured people looked at their rapidly healing injuries with miraculous eyes.
People who were not seriously injured felt that the energy consumed in their bodies was quickly restored.
In short, the precious blood is like a panacea, replenishing whatever is lacking.
Finally, when these people raised their heads and looked at Li Dao again, their eyes no longer had the strange feeling before, and they all had expressions of gratitude and recognition.
...
at the same time.
In the army of the tripartite coalition.
Under the command of Sen Lei and others, the army quickly gathered and began to form an orderly formation.
As the army gathered, an invisible military force began to gather on the army. As the army adjusted, the military force became stronger and stronger, even stronger than the previous time when it dealt with the heavily condensed military force.
One is because the army this time was larger than that one.
The second reason is that after more than a month of continuous cooperation, the three tribes have gradually formed a tacit understanding, which will also strengthen the cohesion of the military.
At this time, after King Tamu felt the military strength of his side, his face gradually showed a confident expression.
When he thought of the Daqian cavalry team that had persecuted their Tamu tribe for so long, he couldn't help but feel a strong hatred rising in his heart.
"Just wait for me, I will cut you into pieces."
Then, King Tamu looked at Sen Lei on the side and asked, "How long will it take?"
Sen Lei replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, it will be ready soon."
