"Oh My God!"

On a nearby mountain, Chen Dao saw this scene and couldn't help but gape.

He found it hard to believe that such a terrifying weapon existed in the world, capable of destroying even mountains. Even from such a distance, he could still feel the rocks trembling; it was truly terrifying.

Such a weapon is truly devastating!

At this moment, he seemed to see his lord marching straight in, sweeping all the way to the capital of Great Ning. Who could stop such a divine weapon?

Even the mountains were destroyed by the drought, let alone the city walls.

In the face of this thing, the city wall is like paper, utterly useless.

Incredibly powerful!

He couldn't help but look at his lord, his eyes burning with fervor, and said, "My lord, with such a terrifying weapon in your hands, no one in this All Under Heaven can stop you! The Northern Barbarians are now beyond saving!"

From his vantage point, he could see that the Northern Barbarians army behind them had completely collapsed.

Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers is now annihilating the enemy, and there is virtually no chance of reversing their defeat.

The army collapsed like a house of cards; their morale was shattered, and they were essentially half-defeated!

"Hahaha, I never expected this thing to be so powerful. I can only say that warhorses these days are too ignorant!" Hearing his words, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, finding it somewhat unbelievable even to himself.

His explosives weren't initially intended to kill the enemy, but rather to stop the enemy's wagons from advancing and to slow down the enemy cavalry's retreat.

But to everyone's surprise, there was an unexpected delight.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Animals often have a clearer sense of things than humans, and they have an instinctive fear of nature. That's why warhorses usually need to be trained before they can be used in battle.

They were trained to get used to battlefield combat and harsh environments, but they never imagined that explosives existed in the world.

Such a huge explosion must have been a bolt from the blue for these horses. It would be strange if they weren't terrified, just like before an earthquake, when all animals are restless and anxious—it's in their nature.

But now it has become Tuoba Yu's death warrant!

"Hehe, Tuoba Yu is really unlucky. He dodged the first wave of explosions, but not the second. He's probably regretting leaving the Ziwu Road now!" Wang Yue couldn't help but gloat.

Zhang Liao had previously wanted to ambush him along the Ziwu Road, but abandoned the idea for fear of alerting him. Later, with Li Sansi present, no action was taken, which allowed Tuoba Yu to escape a calamity.

But to my utter surprise, just a few days later, I still couldn't escape it!

"Hahaha, if that's the case, our Martial Divine Minor Titled King is really quite unlucky!" Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a coincidence!

Cause and effect, karma.

This guy previously massacred Ningchuan Commandery; it's only divine intervention that he's now being bombed.

Watching the enemy's continuous rout, Lin Yi felt somewhat disheartened and said with a smile, "Since this battle is almost over, let's head back and have someone bring the supplies back!"

In any case, he was just teaching Tuoba Yu a lesson, letting him know that Xiliang was not something he could mess with. As for annihilating them, Lin Yi had no such intention; he would wait until after this battle.

Now is not the time.

The three powers of Northern Barbarians, Great Ning, and Northern Liang maintained a balance; if one side suffered too much loss, the balance would be broken.

Especially in the current situation, the best option for Northern Liang is to let the Northern Barbarians and Great Ning fight to the death, the fiercer the better.

However, the overall strength of the Northern Barbarians was no match for that of the Great Ning Dynasty, especially in terms of weaponry, where the two sides were worlds apart. The Northern Barbarians had at most bows and arrows and scimitars, and hardly any siege weapons.

In comparison, the weapons and equipment on the Great Ning side are far superior.

With this disparity, if the Northern Region Barbarians ' military strength falters, they could very well be wiped out by the Great Ning Dynasty, which would be a real problem for Northern Liang.

After annexing the Northern Barbarians, the strength of Great Ning will inevitably increase dramatically, leaving neither Northern Liang nor Great Ning with any room for maneuver.

The person leading the troops on the Great Ning side is someone who can defy the heavens, someone even the Prince of Northern Liang fears, and for this reason personally wrote a letter to warn him.

The villainous Tu Ningkun!

This Ning Kun is no ordinary man. Back then, he led an army of 100,000 from Mountain and River Pass, defeated the enemy's 200,000-strong army in one battle, and finally stormed into the heart of the Northern Region Barbarians ' territory, almost invading their lair.

To win him over, Li Anlan even married his daughter to him, which shows how ruthless he was.

However, he cannot face him yet, so Tuoba Yu Yunu will have to work hard.

His gaze shifted towards the Northern Barbarians army, and he couldn't help but mutter, " Tuoba Yu, don't disappoint me. You're supposed to be Martial Divine Minor Titled King, so step up your game!"

It would be a real shame to let such a great troublemaker just give up; he needs to be made to stir things up.

The more enthusiastically he jumps around, the more advantageous it is for him, provided, of course, that it's aimed at Great Ning.

The people I'm killing now are probably just cannon fodder in his hands. This guy still has his old tricks up his sleeve, enough for him to cause trouble in Great Ning.

Forehead!

Chen Dao's lips twitched. This genius who had destroyed Li Sansi had become a troublemaker and a pawn in his lord's hands.

My lord has a truly magnanimous heart!

However, considering his lord's current strength, he had to admit that his lord possessed the power to surpass Tuoba Yu. Even if Tuoba Yu was Martial Divine Minor Titled King, he was ultimately powerless in the face of absolute strength.

Everything depends on strength; today, Xiliang is no less powerful than Northern Liang.

"My lord, the person who came to meet us seems to be someone of great importance; it's Tuoba Wanli's third son Tuoba Qingsong," Wang Yue whispered a reminder.

His Net has been busy these past few days, constantly gathering intelligence on the surrounding area. Not only did they find a shortcut into the Dashan, but they also uncovered Tuoba Qingsong's background.

He was somewhat aware of his lord's thoughts, so he spoke them directly.

oh!

The third prince of the Northern Barbarians?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. This was a boss, after all. If he could win him over with Win People Over with Virtue, he might receive a big reward.

Speaking of which, we're no longer sleepy.

He smiled, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield ahead, and said softly, "In that case, let's go and see what kind of background this third prince of the Northern Barbarians really has."

It would be a real shame not to take a look at such a big boss.

The former Princess Consort of Beining gave birth to Cai Yan, the most talented woman of the Three Kingdoms period. This third prince of the Northern Region Barbarians is even more prestigious, so he's likely to produce a lot of good stuff.

Everyone burst into laughter. This so-called third prince, having been targeted by their lord, was probably doomed.
