Tuoba Daman looked at the angry tribal leaders below and gradually regained a bit of rationality.

This kid from the Li family did not play by the rules, and even the person who reported the news behind the scenes did not have accurate information, which led to heavy losses for his grassland cavalry.

The more angry you are at this moment, the more likely you are to lose your composure.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Daman quickly suppressed the quarreling people and appeased them:

"Revenge is for the future. How can we take revenge if we don't break through Longmen Pass now?

What’s more important than revenge is to take over Liaodong. Otherwise, we, the people of the grassland, will have no place to survive.”

Everyone immediately quieted down upon hearing this, and at the same time they understood the importance of the matter.

The words of the high priest of the grassland were by no means empty words. Three years later, eternal night would come and severe winter would descend. By then, most of the people on their grassland would freeze to death on the grassland.

So they chose Liaodong.

The land here is fertile and there is a lot of wealth. As long as we break through the city gate in one fell swoop, we can march straight in.

It’s a pity that Li Shouxi caused them to suffer heavy losses with just one move.

This was a battle to defend the city. Apart from the ninth-rank masters, it would normally take three times more troops to break through.

What’s more, even a million-strong army is helpless against a fortress like Longmen Pass.

"I wonder what arrangements the Lord has made?"

"Our army has suffered a great defeat and its morale has been broken. It is no longer possible to organize another attack at this time.

But we have to guard against traps in the canyon, and we have to bring back the bodies of our brothers, otherwise we will have no words to return. So tonight you bring some warriors to explore the way and find traps and mechanisms in the canyon.

Organize people to collect the bodies tomorrow, and then prepare for battle as quickly as possible. Don't give them a chance to breathe.

Once the masters of the Tang Dynasty come to support us, we will have to pay a greater price."

"Yes, my lord!"

···

"Eternal night? Bitter winter? Is this the reason why millions of cavalrymen from the grasslands are heading south?"

When the grassland cavalry were collecting the corpses, foreign masters such as Wanyan Wudi, Fuso Sword Saint, and King Wannu also came.

The reason they came at this time is because they are also waiting and watching.

If Li Shouxi did not have the ability to stop the millions of cavalrymen on the grassland, they would have retreated without hesitation, leading their respective races to retreat into the mountains and forests, and would never go to war with the barbarians and fight against them with their own strength.

If Li Shouxi is capable of defending Longmen Pass, they don't mind adding icing on the cake.

This is reality!

When Wanyan Wudi and others heard the whole story, they thought it was just a large-scale action on the grassland, but they didn't expect it to be just a divination prophecy.

“Eternal night and winter really exist!

In fact, it happened more than once in the records of Kyushu. Each time it happened at the end of a dynasty, there were constant peasant uprisings. And the high priest who predicted the eternal winter must be the land immortal on the grassland, that is, the patron saint of the barbarians! "

"Does your Majesty really mean this?"

Wanyan Wudi and others were all shocked and stared at Li Shouxi with suspicion.

They suspected that Li Shouxi was deceiving them and wanted them to fight for his life.

"There are at least sixteen ninth-grade kings on the grassland, the God of War of the Grassland. Do you think there is any power on the grassland that can gather such a huge force?

Tuoba Daman? He is the god of war, but not the god of protection! "

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Wudi fell silent and began to ponder.

"Every winter, the grasslands will be covered with snow and the grain production in the Central Plains will decrease. This is inevitable.

Therefore, most dynasties will experience turmoil during this period and eventually fall in peasant uprisings, and this time is probably no exception. But I must guard this Longmen Pass, otherwise the consequence of these foreign tribes moving south will be a reappearance of the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China in the Central Plains.”

"Your Highness, are you worrying too much?"

Wanyan Wudi and others did not believe in the so-called eternal night and winter, and they did not believe that Beiyuan would attack Liaodong and

But Li Shouxi did not give too much explanation. He just explained the reason out of respect and asked them to be on guard when the time comes.

“This time, Tuoba Daman suffered heavy losses, but he still has at least 800,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers.

Therefore, we will still face severe tests next. Even I am not absolutely sure. But fortunately, we are the defenders, occupying the natural conditions and geographical location, so we may still have hope of winning!

Especially the means I will use next are a bit despicable, I hope you will not be offended! "

"Your Majesty is joking!"

mean?

In a large-scale war like this, victory or defeat is the key, no matter how despicable the means are.

And precisely because of Li Shouxi's despicable means, everyone can see the hope of victory. If they follow the rules, that would be a way to death.

····

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Three days later, drums sounded and the two armies faced off again.

After making sure there were no traps, Tuoba Daman dared to lead his men into the Grand Canyon again.

At this time, there were many more experts around Li Shouxi, including the masters of the four major tribes in Liaodong, Li Chunfeng, the world's number one god with a golden mask, Tiangangxing, the captain of the Liaodong Bad People, and Tie Kunlun, the number one ranger in Liaodong!

Basically, all the masters are on par with each other!

Yes, the ninth rank is equal.

At this time, in addition to the seven ninth-grade masters, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Shentong, and Princess Nihuang, Li Shouxi also had the Duke of Zhenguo Su Dingshan, the first-grade general of the cavalry Luo Ding, two deputy commanders of the black-armored cavalry, and three thousand-man captains, all of whom were in the ninth-grade Vajra realm.

In this way, they could take up the position of defending the city. As long as Li Shouxi did not take the initiative to go out to meet the enemy, they could at least hold out until the imperial reinforcements arrived.

"The little boy of the Li family..."

Without waiting for Tuoba Daman to finish speaking, Li Shouxi waved his hand, and the archers who had been prepared drew their bows and arrows and shot them out.

The rain of arrows from the sky broke through Tuoba Daman's defense.

The barbarian cavalry, who were well prepared, and the infantry within the range of the projectiles all raised their shields,

After all, once you suffer a loss, it’s impossible to suffer the same loss a second time.

At this time, Li Shouxi looked at the barbarian cavalry below. Without the trap set the first time, it would be impossible to easily defeat these barbarian cavalry again.

But Li Shouxi has plenty of shady tricks up his sleeve.

After the rain of arrows, Li Shouxi shot three more whistling arrows into the sky.

This made Tuoba Daman panic, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart again.

Chapter 74: Hurting the harmony of heaven but not the harmony of culture

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

After the arrows were fired, streaks of fire shot up into the sky, like arrows, shot from Longmen Pass to the battlefield.

Divine Fire Flying Crow!

Looking at the flames rising into the sky, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Li Shouxi's eyes.

This divine fire flying crow is not a complicated firearm, nor is it a powerful weapon of destruction, but it can carry some unexpected things.

For example, the white powder carried by the Divine Fire Crow at this time was the gift that Li Shouxi prepared for these barbarians.

Otherwise, in a real fight of life and death, even if all the soldiers in Longmen Pass were deployed, they would still not be a match for these barbarian cavalry.

The best outcome is that both sides suffer losses.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

As the divine fire crows exploded in the air, everyone saw a powder similar to white smoke floating down.

This made the barbarian masters change color immediately, and they didn't understand what Li Shouxi's purpose was.

poisonous?

But the barbarian masters knew after just a little contact that this was not a poison or special medicine, but just the powder of a tree, which had nothing to do with poison.

Would Li Shouxi do such a useless thing?

Even Tuoba Daman knew that this was impossible and there must be something fishy going on. Even Wanyan Wudi was curious.

Soon, everyone knew the answer.

As the dust fell to every corner of the battlefield, a buzzing sound began to sound around. The sound was not loud, but it spread to every corner.

Although it was not the roar of a tiger or a dragon, the scratchy sound was indeed very annoying.

Especially the war horses began to become restless. Even the barbarian warriors could only barely suppress them, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Wanyan Wudi and others couldn't help but look excited, because they already knew Li Shouxi's methods.

Then, a dense swarm of bees like a black cloud swarmed out from the surroundings.

Yanshan poisonous bee!

This is Li Shouxi’s method, and Li Shouxi’s target is not the knights, but the war horses.

Because the barbarian warriors are fully armed, and if they sense something wrong, they will immediately block their breathing. But these horses will not, and they have no absolute discipline, which is the best choice for Li Shouxi to attack.

Sure enough, with the appearance of the swarm of bees, the riot of the war horses became even more intense, and Tuoba Daman could not help but start cursing.

Unexpectedly, Li Shouxi had no demeanor of a strong man at all and used a shady trick to fall.

Although yesterday's explosion was violent, the actual direct casualties were not large. The real reason for the barbarians' defeat was the riot of war horses, which caused a large-scale stampede and collision.

Undoubtedly, Li Shouxi wants to repeat the same mistake this time.

Having grown honey in Yanshan for so many years, and even cultivated cliff honey into a specialty of Liaodong, Li Shouxi naturally has a very good understanding of Yanshan poisonous bees.

Naturally, the idea came to me of using these poisonous bees to fight the enemy.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Tuoba Daman realized that something was wrong and quickly withdrew his troops, hoping to minimize the losses.

The leaders of the various tribes on the grassland who noticed something was wrong also ordered their men to evacuate here first. In the narrow space of this Grand Canyon, if the war horses rioted, they would inevitably repeat the mistakes of a few days ago.

This scene also left Wanyan Wudi and others stunned. They didn't expect that war could be played like this.

No wonder Li Shouxi said the means were somewhat despicable.

But if Li Shouxi knew what Wanyan Wudi and the others were thinking, he would definitely sneer at them.

Is this called mean?

It’s not even an appetizer, the real evil plot is yet to come.

Yu Yu···Yu Yu···

When the swarm of bees attacked, there was no space for 300,000 cavalrymen to hide or run in this canyon.

Even if they wanted to retreat, such a large-scale team could not just say a word. Even if they wanted to leave, they had to calculate according to the "hour".

Therefore, under the harassment of the swarm of bees, the horses that had never "seen" the poisonous bees rioted, rushing around and trampling on others wantonly.

Especially those slave troops, after seeing the war horses rioting, they knew that if they did not resist, they would have no way to survive.

So before the war even started, they started killing each other.

In a short period of time, tens of thousands of barbarian warriors were lost, and the situation is still getting worse.

This scene also made Tuoba Daman's heart bleed, not to mention his hatred for Li Shouxi.

Many generals including Tiangangxing were stunned.

I thought that without the previous means, today would be a tough battle. I didn't expect that Li Shouxi only used the poisonous bees on Yanshan Mountain to cause chaos among the barbarian army again.

After a brutal massacre, the barbarian army left behind at least 100,000 people before leaving the canyon.

And this only counts the barbarian warriors.
