You guys are all big shots, and I'm just a lowly soldier working myself to the bone. What have I said?
At that moment, the soldier wished he could stab the two men to death. What shameless people they were, still not satisfied with this.
Yelü Dashan, of course, was unaware that the soldier had already inquired about his family. He sighed, " The Evil Bodhisattva is dead, and his death was inexplicable, but haven't I also been teetering on the brink of death? Who can guarantee their survival on the battlefield? I don't know when I will die too."
Having walked this world, I've long since become indifferent to life and death!
It's either you die or I die.
Since we have no choice, we can only grit our teeth and persevere.
Hahaha!
At that moment, Tuoba Yu suddenly smiled. For the first time, he looked at Yelü Dashan with new respect. This kid is a talent!
He patted Yelü Dashan on the shoulder, then turned and walked to the edge of the cliff, feeling the closest he got to death, a feeling akin to walking on a tightrope.
After a long silence, he looked in the direction of Ningchuan Commandery and sneered, " Lin Yi, I, Tuoba Yu, will remember this grudge. We'll see about this!"
I, Tuoba Yu, will avenge this grudge!
"Haha, I just received news that Lin Yi has recently annihilated the Jushi Kingdom and the Shachi Kingdom. He is no longer the young man he once was; he is now the renowned Prince of Xiliang in the north!"
Yelü Dashan looked at Tuoba Yu, who was filled with hatred, and couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
To hell with the Prince of Xiliang!
A fierce glint flashed in Tuoba Yu's eyes, then he spat out a mouthful of saliva and sneered, " Lin Yi won't be happy for long. The Emperor of Great Ning is now pushing for peace talks, and it's clear that Li Anlan also realized how formidable Lin Yi is and doesn't want to give Lin Yi the chance to reap the benefits!"
And this is my chance!
Once the Northern Barbarians and Great Ning reconcile, Lin Yi's life will be much more difficult. He will inevitably face Li Anlan's full-scale targeting, and the Northern Region Barbarians will also be under pressure to target Lin Yi with all their might!
The pressure from the two great powers was like an earthquake, and Lin Yi, with his small Xiliang, probably couldn't withstand it. His defeat was already inevitable.
When that time comes, I can deliver the final blow to Lin Yi, and everything will come back to haunt me.
"I advise you not to be careless. Lin Yi is not as simple as he seems!" Yelü Dashan sneered.
These days he discovered that someone had been secretly stirring up trouble, making the two sides of Great Ning and Northern Barbarians extremely angry and causing several major battles in succession. If he guessed correctly, this was probably Lin Yi's doing. That kid's ambition is too great!
To scheme against both Great Ning and the Northern Barbarians —this is the path to becoming the ruler of the All Under Heaven!
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "There is still no result in the negotiations, so we cannot be careless in this battle. After all, Li Sanjiang has also sent a large army, which could be fatal!"
Previously, they had captured most of the land in Great Wasteland Commandery. Just when they were about to take Great Wasteland Commandery, the people of Youning Commandery also mobilized. The troops of the two counties held their strongholds and managed to hold out until the arrival of Li Sanjiang Great Ning, the Prince of Min of Min of Daning.
The two sides are now at an impasse and can only wait for the outcome of the negotiations!
This battle cannot continue!
Yelü Dashan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I've received news that Lin Yi has acquired nearly 200,000 warhorses in the Western Regions. This is not good news for us. This battle must end quickly!"
Two hundred thousand!
Tuoba Yu's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Western Regions. Could Lin Yi be attacking the Jushi Kingdom and Shachi Kingdom of the Western Regions specifically for warhorses?
Why does he need so many warhorses?
Northern Barbarians!
His pupils contracted, and he instantly realized the reason, exclaiming, "Damn it, Lin Yi is probably already preparing to attack the Northern Barbarians! This guy is getting warhorses just to train a large number of cavalry!"
If that's the case, then this battle really can't continue!
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the camp to inform his king, he suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds, followed by several screams. Tuoba Yu's expression changed drastically.
"Someone's attacking!"
"Alert!"
Yelü Dashan's pupils constricted; the enemy had actually gotten right up to him. How did they know his location?
"Quick, the target is at the top of the mountain!"
Several figures moved swiftly through the mountains and forests, traversing the dense woods as if on flat ground, heading straight for the mountaintop.
Each of them carried a large box on their back, along with a bundle of gleaming arrows, a sight that sent chills down one's spine. However, this did not reassure Li Yunqing at all; instead, it filled her with apprehension!
"Commander Hu, isn't it a bit too hasty to bring only twenty men to assassinate Tuoba Yu?" He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.
Hu Che'er glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Hmph, it only took twenty people to kill him. If we were using other people, we wouldn't have needed twenty! We were assassinating someone, not confronting them head-on!"
Forehead!
Li Yunqing was speechless and could only grit his teeth and follow, thinking that the other party wouldn't joke about his own life.
" Martial Divine King, the enemy doesn't have many people; they must have sneaked up here."
"Their weapons are crossbows, which have astonishing penetrating power. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
Not many people?
A series of messages arrived, causing Tuoba Yu's face to darken instantly. How dare they provoke him with so few people? Did they think Tuoba Yu was so easy to bully?
In an instant, several of his guards were killed, which enraged him. He roared, "Send men to find the enemies in the dense forest! I will tear them to pieces!"
He brought over a hundred personal guards with him this time, and a few petty thieves dared to provoke him—this is simply outrageous!
"Hahaha, Tuoba Yu, today is your death day! How dare you invade my Great Ning Dynasty! I'll make sure you never return!" A soft laugh came from not far away, followed by a dense sound of footsteps rapidly approaching.
"People from Great Ning?"
Tuoba Yu's pupils contracted, and he was about to ask a question when suddenly a whooshing sound came from the air, which startled him so much that he quickly lay down on the side of a rock.
Puff puff puff!
In an instant, a large number of people around him fell, completely covered by the rain of arrows.
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his arm; it had been pierced by a crossbow bolt.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, these are just a few petty thieves? There must be hundreds of them!"
Such a terrifying rain of arrows couldn't have been achieved with just a few dozen people. How could the enemy only have so few? I'm afraid I'm surrounded this time.
" Martial Divine King, we must find a way to evacuate!"
Yelü Dashan gritted his teeth. This place was not safe to stay any longer. It was not dark yet, and the enemy could see them clearly. Staying here would make them sitting ducks. They had to leave.
Or we can wait until dark, then we'll be safe.
