Once winter arrives, agricultural production will decrease, which will inevitably lead to peasant riots, and then the Central Plains will be in chaos."
"Everything is decided by the prince!"
Everyone also knows the seriousness of this matter. If it goes wrong, the overthrow of the empire will be a small matter, but the barbarians will move south.
After all, in the eyes of those barbarians, the Han people in their Kyushu are nothing more than two-legged sheep.
"Go down and get ready."
Chapter 70: Millions of Cavalrymen Approach the City
At the Longmen Pass, the battle flag is flying.
Li Shouxi, who was wearing a three-headed dragon armor, suddenly changed his temperament, and looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away and had a cold and indifferent murderous aura.
Li Shouxi's weapon is a Mo Dao forged from deep-sea black iron and five-element refined gold, or in other words, a combination of a horse lance and a Mo Dao.
The whole length is about ten feet, of which the handle is six feet long and is made entirely of thousand-forged black iron, with a diameter of one inch and seven tenths of an inch; the spear blade is four feet long, and has both the charging power of a horse lance and the horse-slaying power of a Mo Dao. Combined with its weight of five hundred pounds, it can clear the field with just one swing.
In addition, there are seven black iron javelins designed behind Li Shouxi, each weighing thirty kilograms, adding up to two hundred and ten kilograms.
Once on the battlefield, these seven javelins will become a nightmare to the enemy.
Princess Nihuang was also shocked when she saw it. Only then did she understand why Li Shouxi had such prestige in the army?
Unexpectedly, besides being an expert in martial arts and swordsmanship, Li Shouxi's most amazing talent is in horizontal training.
On both sides of Li Shouxi, on one side were Li Shentong, Yuwen Chengdu, and Nihuang Army, three ninth-grade martial arts masters; on the other side were Qin Shan, Luo Ding and other military generals.
In comparison, the martial arts masters of Longmen Pass are far behind.
Fortunately, Wang Meng had already sent a letter for help.
Unlike the 800-mile express delivery, this message was sent directly to the Bad Kids headquarters in Chang'an City via carrier pigeons.
Moreover, the ninth-rank master from Liaodong is also on the way.
At this time, ten miles to the north of the Grand Canyon, a mighty army of millions of cavalrymen were staring at the canyon entrance that looked like an abyss in front of them. It seemed like a devil's cave that would devour lives. After entering, countless grassland men would stay there.
But in order to survive in the North, they had to pay with human lives.
Without the food and land from the south, their grassland will once again experience a crisis of genocide.
“For the sake of the tribe, we must take Longmen Pass and the fertile land behind it!
Otherwise, our families will starve to death in the coming eternal night, losing warmth in the snow and wind like an ice field... In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
"Eternal Heaven! Eternal Heaven! Eternal Heaven..."
A roar spread thousands of miles away, ringing clearly in the ears of every barbarian warrior.
Immediately afterwards, the roars of millions of people shook the earth and was like the silencing of thousands of thunders, with a terrifying momentum.
Then, the vibration of hundreds of thousands of war horses trampling the ground was like a dragon turning over. When the Dragon Gate closed thirty miles away, everyone could clearly feel the vibration from the ground.
That was a real million cavalry, not just 300,000 armored soldiers and 700,000 logistics personnel.
Even Li Shouxi couldn't help but frown. This time the grasslands came with great force and their fighting spirit was so strong that it was probably several times more terrifying than before.
"General Nihuang, are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. One million rockets and ten thousand oil tanks are ready."
In Liaodong, there is another specialty - tung oil!
Although it is not edible and Li Shouxi does not know how to develop it, it is definitely a weapon of war. It can be used to oil arrows to make rockets, or to splash them on the barbarian warriors below. It is a nightmare for the barbarians.
The same was true of the tung oil that Li Shouxi prepared at this time, not just rocket and oil-splashed fragrant meat.
All the weapons he had prepared before could now be used.
Moreover, this is Li Shouxi's home court. How could Li Shouxi not use such good conditions for several years?
Therefore, when the goods were being transported through the border without anyone noticing, Li Shouxi had people set up a large number of traps outside, which were extremely secretive.
Because it is not used in normal times and is extremely difficult to find, even the Duke of Zhenguo doesn't know about it.
Moreover, the fewer people who know about these methods hidden in the dark, the better.
"Commander Li, you will carry out the mission yourself this time.
I will use the Cloud Piercing Arrow as a signal and fire three arrows simultaneously. You will directly light the gift I gave to this God of War."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Shentong took the order and left. Although everyone didn't understand what means Li Shouxi had prepared, since Li Shentong was asked to carry out the order personally, it was obvious that the means was by no means simple.
After a long wait, finally, billowing dust rose in the distance, and everyone knew that the grassland cavalry had arrived.
Li Shouxi waved his hand and ordered everyone to enter a state of full alert.
The flag bearer on the arrow tower quickly waved the flag and used flag language to inform Li Shouxi of the order. At the same time, the arrow tower next to it also repeated the order, which instantly spread throughout the entire pass.
Flag signals can not only transmit messages efficiently, but also eliminate the worry of commands being distorted during transmission.
As for the barbarians?
Due to visual limitations, the arrow tower could not see the flag signals on the top of the arrow tower at all.
After all, the arrow tower is nearly twenty feet above the city, and visually only the city wall above can be seen, which is used to block arrows shot from below.
As hundreds of thousands of cavalry arrived at Longmen Pass, the grassland cavalry, which were rarely seen under normal circumstances, now swarmed throughout the canyon like ants.
When Li Shouxi saw this scene, a trace of ferocity appeared on his face.
I didn't expect that the trap I had set up for several years would be so foresighted one day.
After all, having guarded the border for several years, Li Shouxi understood that these barbarians would sooner or later move south on a large scale.
To be on the safe side, every time there was a secret smuggling shipment, Li Shouxi would arrange some people outside Longmen Pass to set up traps that were difficult for ordinary people to detect and trigger.
Because of the secrecy of smuggling, when the goods left the city, those stationed in the city defense were all Li Shouxi's men.
"Little boy from the Li family... come out and have a chat!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shouxi knew that this was Tuoba Daman's strategy.
When it comes to a matter of life and death, once he leaves the city, he doesn't think Tuoba Daman will have any martial ethics.
Therefore, Li Shouxi shouted loudly from the city wall:
"Tuoba Daman, the eternal night is coming and the bitter winter is approaching.
As a king, I do sympathize with your situation.
But the nature of the Northern Plains wolf tribe is cruel and murderous. Once you enter the pass, it will be a catastrophe for the Central Plains."
Li Shouxi directly pointed out the current situation in Beiyuan. There was no chance of luck at all.
At the same time, he looked at the soldiers guarding the Dragon Gate and shouted again:
"Brothers, our families are right here. These barbarians treat us Han people as two-legged sheep instead of fellow tribesmen.
Once they entered the pass, our sisters became their tools for sexual gratification at night and food cooked in the pot during the day. The tragic scenes of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China are still fresh in our minds.
Today's battle is not just a battle to defend the city, but also our families, brothers and sisters behind us."
“Kill! Kill! Kill…”
Following Li Shouxi's gestures and flag signals, archers drew their bows and arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time.
At the moment when thousands of arrows broke through the air, Tuoba Daman's face suddenly changed slightly. He did not expect that Li Shouxi was so unethical. Before he gave the order to attack the city, Li Shouxi had already ordered the attack.
Where is the country of etiquette that we promised to be?
Faced with the rain of arrows, Tuoba Daman wanted to stop it with the power of the Great Celestial Realm.
But they were shocked to find that the landing points of these arrows were all hundreds of feet away from them. It was obvious that they were deliberately avoiding the area of the masters and targeting the ordinary barbarian cavalry.
Chapter 71: Eagle Warriors Set the Field on Fire
Puff! Puff! Puff...
With a throwing range of over a hundred feet and the advantage of being high above, at least a thousand barbarian warriors fell under the rain of arrows.
It would be better if I died. If I didn't die, I would be facing a battlefield where life would be worse than death.
After all, this is a human grinding mill, and I don’t know how many lives will be lost.
"Siege!"
Seeing that Longmenguan had taken the lead in launching the attack, Tuoba Daman also knew that the other party had understood their plan.
But they have nearly twenty ninth-rank masters and millions of cavalrymen. What can it do even if they are able to "guard the pass with one man against ten thousand men"?
Today is destined to be the downfall of Longmen Pass.
There were only 100,000 people in the first wave of attacks, but these 100,000 people were as numerous as ants, filling the gaps in the middle, which was chilling.
Chirp! Chirp...
At the same time, the sky was filled with the cries of eagles, and the hunting falcons raised by the Grassland Condor Tribe were circling over Longmen Pass.
Altitudes above 100 feet are completely restricted areas.
Not to mention bows and crossbows, even bed crossbows are extremely difficult to reach a height of more than 100 feet, due to the influence of gravity.
At the moment the army attacked the city, these falcons swooped down at the same time.
These falcons are so fast that even if the crossbowmen wanted to fight back, by the time they drew their bows and arrows, a pair of eagle claws would have already hit their faces.
Therefore, this was Tuoba Daman’s strategy, to make the soldiers at Longmen Pass unwilling to defend the city.
The dragon comes to the world!
The young scales come out of the sheath, and the shadow of a dragon appears.
In just a moment, the sky above Longmen Pass was covered by a layer of flaming clouds. At the same time, most of the falcons were instantly in a state of unconsciousness amid the dragon's roar.
The dragon is the leader of all creatures and commands power throughout the world.
Therefore, when the falcon heard the dragon roar and the sword sound, it was frightened like a giant whale or an evil dragon.
At the moment when the falcons were frightened by the dragon's might, the crossbowmen who reacted had already shot into the air. These falcons were already in the process of diving down, very close to the ground, and under the dense arrows, more than half of them were soon killed.
This scene almost gave the chief of the Condor Tribe a heart attack.
After all, training and keeping eagles is difficult. Even if their tribe has accumulated for hundreds of years, they can only get 30,000 sacred eagles.
Unexpectedly, more than half of them were lost in one war.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
And before they could recall the falcon, the gantry suddenly closed and fireworks began to bloom.
These large fireworks can reach heights that bows and arrows cannot reach.
Since he expected that there were 30,000 divine eagle warriors in the tribal alliance, how could Li Shouxi not be on guard against these air forces? Fireworks were the weapon to disperse these falcons.
The reason why it was not used immediately was that Li Shouxi was also brewing his own plan.
Although it is daytime, these gorgeous fireworks are still eye-opening.
At the same time, the remaining falcons entrenched in the sky above Longmen Pass were also frightened by the sudden explosion of fireworks and fled in all directions, no longer obeying the command of the Condor Warriors.
First the dragon's roar shocked the mind, then the fireworks exploded and frightened the soul.
It is conceivable that these falcons were so frightened that they would not obey orders and fly away from the battlefield directly.
But not long after, the falcons began to fall from the sky as if they were drunk, and became a feast for the carnivores in the Yanshan Mountains.
Yes, there was something mixed in with the fireworks.
That was the tear gas grenade that Li Shouxi had people prepare, and it also had a knockout drug effect.
It was originally intended to be used against the barbarian warriors, but who knew that it was used to make fireworks first, so the falcons were caught off guard and were hit one after another.
At first they were frightened and fled from the battlefield, but when the effect of the drug began to take effect, they fell into the Yanyun Mountains.
"My condor!"
If most of the previous losses were caused by heart attacks, and the falcon was blown apart at this time, the Eagle King would be unable to stop crying.
Even Tuoba Daman couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the Fire Cloud Dragon in the sky:
