It's good enough that Lin Yi didn't try to harm me; I shouldn't think about anything else.
He Zudao took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, if we transfer all these troops to Little Pine Mountain, then there won't be many people left in Ningchuan Commandery."
If Little Pine Mountain makes a mistake, then the entire Ningchuan Commandery will be completely in Tuoba Yu's sight, which would be an absolute catastrophe.
Perhaps we should now explain to the Emperor that we must request his assistance.
"Even the Emperor can't care about us!"
Hearing his words, Li Sansi shook his head with a wry smile. Even if he wanted to ask for reinforcements, he couldn't get them now.
Because he had previously received news that the Northern Region Barbarians to the east had also made their move, gathering an army of 200,000 to launch a fierce attack on Mountain and River Pass, the imperial court was forced to withdraw a large number of troops to deal with them.
In this way, they had no reinforcements at all.
He Zudao Zudao's pupils contracted, almost forgetting that a barbarian invasion had also occurred at Mountain and River Pass, and it was much more serious than here. To the east, there was a barbarian army of 200,000.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Your Highness, just in case, perhaps we should gather some able-bodied men for unforeseen circumstances!"
This battle is absolutely crucial and cannot be lost, but the problem is that apart from a slight advantage in terrain, we have no other advantages whatsoever, so we can't say we can secure a victory.
If anything goes wrong, Ningchuan Commandery could be completely destroyed.
Li Sansi nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "That makes sense. I'll send someone to handle this matter right away; it should come in handy in a critical moment."
Just then, Li Yunqing rushed over.
"Father, we've discovered that Tuoba Yu has brought a small cavalry force. They're probably here to test our strength," he said in a deep voice after catching his breath.
It's here!
Li Sansi shuddered, gritting his teeth as he said, "That Tuoba Yu! He actually came! He clearly doesn't take me seriously at all!"
You think you can beat Lin Yi, even if you can't beat him?
"Your Highness, let me help you..." He Zudao struggled, trying to get up.
Li Sansi shoved him back and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, we have the defensive position of Little Pine Mountain. It won't be easy for Tuoba Yu's cavalry to break through!"
To deal with cavalry, obstacles are naturally needed. The army has been setting up for so many days, and the mountains are full of traps and pits. If Tuoba Yu wants to break through, he will probably have to work much harder.
Moreover, although he didn't have a four-zhang-high city wall like Lin Yi's, he still had his own defensive arrangements. If used properly, Tuoba Yu couldn't do anything to him.
After saying that, he immediately led his men to press forward.
Let's just go for it!
On the other side, Tuoba Yu, after finishing his meal, also rushed over immediately to discuss the details of attacking Little Pine Mountain.
However, the answer they provided left him speechless!
Tuoba Yu could hardly believe his ears, and frowned, saying, "What did you say? He Zudao was assassinated in Li Sansi's camp?"
what the hell?
I clearly ordered them to keep an eye on Li Sansi, so why did they immediately start the assassination attempt? Something doesn't seem right.
He looked at Xiao Shan and sneered, " Xiao Shan, what exactly is your Heavenly Eagle Guard up to? I clearly told you to keep an eye on Li Sansi and not to assassinate him without authorization. What's going on? I don't even know what's happening. How come you've already started killing him?"
This is practically forcing Li Sansi to go against me! What kind of bastard did this? It's absolutely outrageous!
"This..."
Xiao Shan was also startled and explained, "General, this was definitely not done by my men. I had already given instructions beforehand. We've probably been framed."
Framed?
Upon hearing those two words, Tuoba Yu couldn't help but sneer. It seemed there was a mastermind behind everything, controlling certain matters.
He believed that Xiao Shan wasn't stupid and would never allow the Heavenly Eagle Guard to act recklessly, so there was probably something fishy going on.
The Evil Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "General, could it be that brat Lin Yi?"
this...
These words made Tuoba Yu's pupils shrink. His intuition told him that it was probably really related to Lin Yi, and that this guy probably wanted him to fight Li Sansi to the death.
But who did it is no longer important; the key is to secure enough food this time, otherwise this winter will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, " Yelü Dashan!"
"You will lead 30,000 troops and charge in from the Little Pine Mountain. Your task is to destroy Li Sansi's defenses. This time, we can start the battle directly without any further hesitation!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Yelü Dashan nodded and immediately led his men out to fight.
" Xiao Shan, your Heavenly Eagle Guard's intelligence is accurate. I'm assigning you to lead 10,000 men to wipe out the enemy's forces on the outskirts."
"Yes!"
Xiao Shan nodded. If they were just some peripheral forces, the Heavenly Eagle Guard could handle them.
"I will personally lead the remaining men. This time, we will charge straight into Little Pine Mountain and let the world know the might of our Northern Barbarians cavalry."
With a loud shout, Tuoba Yu launched his second wave of attacks, this time targeting Little Pine Mountain!
kill!
kill!
Seemingly sensing their murderous intent, the distant Great Ning army responded, and the battle began.
Xiliang Commandery, Dayu County!
After the great battle, the entire Xiliang Commandery was in a frenzy of celebration. Even the seventy-year-old man came out to celebrate, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"If Heaven had not given birth to the Heir of Northern Liang, Xiliang Liang would never have known the long night of darkness!"
"What kind of Great General Divine Eagle? When he encountered my Heir of Northern Liang Prince, he turned into an owl, a pathetic piece of trash."
"It is said that Zhang Liao, one of the prince's subordinates, possesses unparalleled strength. Not only is he eight feet tall, but he is also invulnerable to swords and spears, and cannot be harmed by axes or halberds. At that time, he led the charge and repelled more than 70,000 enemy soldiers with only 3,000 men, which was truly terrifying."
"Holy crap, that's outrageous! Zhang Liao is actually invulnerable to swords and spears?"
"Of course! It's said that Zhang Liao's men are also invulnerable to swords and spears. Their three thousand men charged straight up and hacked their way from the city wall all the way to the Jumbled Shi Lin. Tuoba Yu was said to have been so scared he wet himself."
The people recounted their stories vividly, leaving some of the audience speechless with astonishment. They couldn't believe there were such terrifying people in the world, seemingly impervious to swords and spears.
Is this even human?
Duan Yingxiong was also pondering this question. He muttered to himself, "This is terrifying! Not only is he impervious to swords and spears, but even axes and halberds can't touch him. Is Zhang Liao some kind of demon?"
If that's the case, who could withstand the Crown Prince's beating? Ordinary people can't be invulnerable to swords and spears.
