After all, there was a raging fire blocking the way ahead and a massacre with crossbows behind. This feeling of powerlessness as if "I am at the mercy of others" was so overwhelming that not only the barbarian soldiers but even the kings of the tribes on the grassland felt choked up in their chests, unable to calm down.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Another round of crossbow attacks came, this time all of them were Angry Dragon Spears.
After all, the Wind-Breaking Spear is not very effective against an attack that is well prepared, but the Angry Dragon Spear is unavoidable.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Boom! Boom! Boom...
There were two rounds of bombing, but the casualties were not great, but the deterrent effect was extremely strong.
"Insidious, cunning, shameless..."
At this time, the label that everyone put on Li Shouxi was that Wanyan Wudi and others were extremely wary of Li Shouxi.
They had only heard about it before, but now they knew that compared to the rumors, this prince was even more terrifying than they had imagined. He was simply as despicable as he could be, using every possible means.
More devilish than the devil!
After just one round, the barbarians were not completely frightened, but their fear reached the extreme.
You should know that the arrow tower is built on the battlements and can attack enemies on three sides.
It can be used against those strong men who are trying to climb the wall by force, and coupled with the extremely fast wind-breaking gun, it is like a king hunting crossbow.
Even the city gates can be taken into account.
"Old Tuoba, do you think there is anyone who can stop my crossbow at Longmen Pass?
If you can't hit with one arrow, you can't hit with ten, a hundred, a thousand... You can't hit with long distance, but do you dare to approach the city within thirty feet?"
"..."
Li Shouxi's heart-piercing words made many grassland kings extremely fearful.
Even though Tuoba Daman knew that Li Shouxi was trying to undermine the morale of the army, the three consecutive rounds of crossbows, spears and arrows just now had already proved that what Li Shouxi said was true.
Going forward means seeking death!
And the target is the martial arts masters among them.
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first!
···
The next day, Li Shouxi received the news that Tuoba Daman had died. He was angered to death by Li Shouxi.
For a whole day, Li Shouxi did not give the barbarians a chance to attack. In order to get enough tung oil, he even sent cavalry from the city to transport tung oil to the warehouse outside the city, and then threw tung oil forward every hour.
Therefore, the raging flames in front of the city wall not only did not go out, but burned more and more vigorously!
It was not until the evening that the barbarian army, hungry and sleepy, was forced to leave the Grand Canyon, and the barbarian generals had to retreat to the central military tent because of Tuoba Daman's increasingly weak body.
So the next day, Li Shouxi received the news of Tuoba Daman's death.
Tuoba Daman, who could have lived for two more days, was angered to death by Li Shouxi's shamelessness.
The death of Tuoba Daman also eased the barbarians' attack on Longmen Pass.
At least in the short term, the barbarians will not attack Longmen Pass before they choose a new successor.
The 700,000 or 800,000 barbarian cavalry, plus the slave army, are still a big threat to Longmen Pass.
Three days later, the new grassland overlord was confirmed, but his ambitions collapsed when a barbarian warrior fell ill.
The plague broke out, and the elites of the various tribes on the grassland fell one after another like dominoes. In less than two days, at least half of the people in the barbarian camp were lying down, and the military doctor also confirmed that they had the plague!
plague?
Like the devil's whisper, it completely shattered the ambitions of the Northern Plains barbarians.
You have to know that it is an incurable plague, and it is spreading in the army, which gathers all the elite troops from the fourteen tribes of the grassland.
Undoubtedly, this is Changshengtian’s punishment to them!
The barbarians never thought that it was the plague vaccine shot thrown by Li Shouxi.
After all, they still overestimate Li Shouxi's moral bottom line!
The emergence and spread of the plague completely destroyed the morale of the barbarians and caused panic to spread in the barbarian camp.
In this way, victory was achieved without fighting, which can be called a legendary achievement.
Even the many forces that came to support Longmen Pass were in disbelief when they heard that the barbarians had retreated due to the outbreak of the plague.
At the same time, Li Shouxi was not suspected of being responsible for the plague that broke out in the barbarian camp.
Wanyan Wudi and others dare not do so, and Tiangangxing belongs to the Bad People intelligence organization, so this will become an unsolved case.
As for Emperor Tang and General Buliang, it is even more impossible for them to betray Li Shouxi.
If the plague had not broken out, even if Longmen Pass had been defended, the consequences would have been disastrous.
It was the enemy who died, and it was Li Shouxi who came up with a brilliant plan.
It's just a question of moral bottom line.
Chapter 80: The great victory at Longmen Pass - God bless the Tang Dynasty?
"That's how we won?"
The Duke of Zhenguo, Luo Ding, Qin Shan and others were all in disbelief. Apart from the tricks played by Li Shouxi, they did not lose a single soldier in this battle.
But in Li Shouxi's eyes, this is normal.
The Great Canyon, which stretched for thousands of feet, seemed wide, but it was not enough for the barbarian army of over one million people. There were only 100,000 siege troops in front of the battle line, and only 300,000 cavalrymen in the back to support the battle line.
With such a densely packed team, if the horses riot, they will kill each other in this small space.
This is also the reason why the barbarians suffered two defeats.
What is a fortress?
This is it!
The last move was Li Shouxi's ultimate move -
It harms the harmony of nature but not the harmony of culture!
This was originally just a joke from the previous life, but facing the barbarians who are about to pass the border, it would be a waste to use it.
Once the barbarians enter the pass, it will not just be a matter of a few hundred thousand people.
What’s more, the dead were not our own people.
“It’s a despicable method, but being kind to these barbarians would be cruel to yourself.
After all, once they settle in the Central Plains, the Five Chinese Rebellion will inevitably happen again, and then it won’t just be a matter of a few hundred thousand people.”
"Your Highness is right. Even if there is an eternal winter, the barbarians cannot enter the pass!"
Su Dingshan also affirmed Li Shouxi's approach and was even more amazed at Li Shouxi's ingenious strategy.
He captured a million barbarian cavalry at such a small cost without hurting the 300,000 soldiers at Longmen Pass. He is truly a man of luck.
As for reputation?
Apart from the ninth-rank master present, who knew that the plague was released by Li Shouxi?
Perhaps there were too many deaths outside, and then a plague broke out, and this crime could not be pinned on Li Shouxi.
Because he is the prince of the Tang Empire and needs a golden body!
"Old Duke, pass the order down:
Without my order, no one may open the gate, leave without permission, or let anyone or anything in. Once someone leaves without permission, they will be killed without mercy, and those who have come into contact with them will also be quarantined until they are confirmed to be free of the plague. "
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The generals also shared the same thought. They also understood that what Li Shouxi was worried about was the plague outside the Great Wall.
This thing hurts others and yourself. Once it hurts yourself, the consequences will be serious.
Especially within the Great Wall, once it spreads, the consequences will be so serious that I can’t even imagine!
···
"Great victory! Great victory! Great victory..."
Inside Chang'an City.
The messenger delivered the urgent battle report from Wanli while shouting as he headed towards the imperial city, which made the merchants on both sides of Suzaku Street look at each other in bewilderment.
Great victory?
Although the Tang Dynasty had many external conflicts at this time, there was only one place where the wars took place - Longmen Pass!
Could it be the great victory at Longmen Pass?
But when everyone thought about it, it was impossible. Although there had been frequent reports of victory before, it was only a small profit in the end. There were millions of barbarian cavalrymen.
As for the slave army?
Will military dogs be counted among the troops going into battle?
Slaves are not human beings at all to the barbarians. In the eyes of the barbarians, the Han people in particular are like fat cattle and sheep, except for their two legs.
Only Han businessmen with powerful backgrounds can be considered "human beings" in front of them.
Otherwise, Li Shouxi would not have been able to exchange so many fat cattle and sheep from them.
"A great victory?"
Above the Daming Palace and the Holy Temple.
The Emperor of Tang was also worried about the situation at Longmen Pass. Liaodong was too remote, and even if more troops were sent to support it would take time.
Moreover, this time the barbarians came with great force, and the millions of cavalry were really too horrifying.
At this moment, a great victory was announced, and everyone looked outside.
"Your Majesty, we have a great victory at Longmen Pass. This is good news!"
Because it was an urgent report from thousands of miles away, the messenger rushed directly to the hall and no one dared to stop him. After shouting loudly, he handed the victory report to the eunuch.
When Emperor Tang saw the news, his eyes lit up.
Sure enough, Li Shouxi's plan was successful.
Throwing plague virus into the enemy camp was such a ruthless plot that even the Emperor of Tang was shocked when he first heard the report from the bad guys.
But unexpectedly, Li Shouxi really succeeded.
Just one hundred death row prisoners were exchanged for a million elite barbarian cavalrymen. This is simply unimaginable.
At the same time, Emperor Tang felt a chill down his spine when he thought of his plan against Li Shouxi.
Fortunately, they are father and son, otherwise Li Shouxi would not know how he would plot against himself after his previous plot.
"Haha, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
The Emperor of Tang naturally would not tell the truth to anyone, but instead said, "God bless the Tang Dynasty."
If Li Shouxi's evil plot is eliminated, and the barbarians suddenly break out in a plague, wouldn't it be God's blessing on the Tang Dynasty? It can also increase the people's sense of identity with the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, is it true that Longmen Pass was a great victory?"
All the old ministers and dukes couldn't believe it.
That was a million barbarian cavalry. Even if support arrived from the surrounding areas, they didn't think Longmen Pass could hold out for long.
What's more, at this time, news of a great victory came, and even if there were a million pigs, they would not be able to be killed by now.
“Yes, a great victory at Longmen Pass.
After the King of Yan attacked the barbarian camp and severely damaged Tuoba Daman, a plague broke out in the barbarian camp soon after, and more than half of the barbarian elites were killed. And it is unknown how many of the remaining barbarian elites can survive, but there is no evidence, so the crisis of Longmen Pass has been resolved! "
plague?
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood the meaning of the Tang Emperor's words "God bless the Tang Dynasty".
This terrifying natural disaster is God’s blessing to the Tang Dynasty!
I didn’t expect that even God was helping His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan this time.
