The Northern King was ecstatic, as the letter was written by his father himself. The drama of Dayan was so exciting, and the Northern Barbarian Emperor was full of fighting spirit. He personally took action and launched a full-scale attack with the strength of all the Northern Barbarians. Only one day later, the border of Dayan was completely defeated, and millions of Northern Barbarian troops all entered the territory of Dayan, and the speed of advancement was amazing.
Dayan was in danger and King Yu had no time to return to defend. They misjudged the battlefield situation and believed that King Bei would be quickly destroyed under the siege of millions of troops. But who could have expected that the butterfly effect caused by a series of small events would make this sure-win chess game change.
This also caught Prince Qi and the Imperial Military Department by surprise. They hadn't imagined the Northern Barbarians would march so heavily. With such a huge disparity in power between the two nations, and the Northern Barbarians constantly plagued by natural disasters, how could they possibly dare to take such a gamble? A border offensive and defensive battle might make sense, but the enemy was clearly intent on destroying Great Yan.
What is most troubling to the Great Yan court and its officials is that after the Northern King secretly entered the country with his army, a support force of no less than 200,000 soldiers has almost arrived at the Jingmen Pass. Their purpose is to reunite with the Northern King.
The reason why Prince Yu had not arrived yet was that he was leading his army to ambush this northern barbarian army.
But now it was no longer possible. The Northern Barbarians' army had already crossed the border. It was an army of several million strong! To ambush these 200,000 Northern Barbarians would be a bit reckless.
Since the Northern King had already learned the information that was beneficial to him, he had no intention of leaving. He took the remaining tens of thousands of people and cleared out the small town on the crater plain. Those who were killed by the black bee swarm were also burned and buried.
As for food and supplies, he had even less to worry about. The supplies left behind by King Qi's army when they were defeated were enough for them to use for a long time.
The Northern King was waiting for the 200,000 reinforcements to join him. That way, they, the Northern Barbarians, would have a big nail hammered into the heart of Dayan.
Of course, they might face a siege by the Great Yan army next, but to kill these 200,000 warriors, Great Yan would have to deploy at least 500,000 to 600,000 troops. This would alleviate some of the pressure on the border and allow the millions of troops led by my father to advance more quickly.
"Dayan is in danger this time, hahaha!" King Bei was in a very good mood.
At this time, Li Guo was also in a headache. He already knew that King Qi's pursuers had been defeated and a large amount of supplies had been lost.
"Black bee swarm, we can only use black bee swarm now." Li Guo said helplessly.
Using the black bee swarm would be against natural order, and he didn't want to use it, but now the military situation was urgent and the entire Dayan was in chaos.
A group of black bees had been brought here by the bandits in advance. He just needed to go and get the black bee swarm, and then attack these northern barbarians, then the crisis in the inland of Dayan would be resolved.
This was also a major killer move deployed by King Yu, just to prevent the Northern King's army from becoming too powerful.
However, when Li Guo followed the map and arrived at the bandit stronghold, he was shocked by the scene before him. In the entire stronghold, there was not a single bandit except for the corpses of the Northern Barbarian cavalry. Even the food and fodder that he had ordered the bandits to prepare were gone.
"Have all those bandits run away?" asked the coachman Xiaoliu.
Li Guo didn't say anything. He didn't understand. He said he would come here in the next few days, so why did those bandits run away? This made him very confused.
Li Guo checked the cause of death of the Northern Barbarian cavalry and found that they were all poisoned to death by a swarm of black bees. It seemed that these bandits used a swarm of black bees.
Looking at the corpses and countless dead black bees on the ground, Li Guo was a little confused. These black bees were not killed by humans, but died of exhaustion. Did the black bee swarms given to them by the Liman tribe were disposable? This was a bit unreasonable!
Did the Liman tribe have the audacity to offer inferior goods to King Yu? You know, King Yu paid a huge price to win over the Liman tribe. Don't they want to pay that price?
"Sir, where are we going next?" asked the coachman Xiaoliu.
Li Guo thought for a while and said, "Look for the bandits. We must get the black bee swarm." He thought the bandits had run away with the black bee swarm.
Afterwards, the two men left the bandit's lair and searched the surroundings.
…
In the Gu family manor, Ren Gang rushed into the main house of Lin Feng's family.
At this time, Lin Feng was chatting with Zhang Sanfeng and Han Shan.
"Something terrible has happened. King Qi's pursuit troops have been defeated." Ren Gang shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Everyone was stunned, and then Zhang Sanfeng gestured for him to explain in detail.
Lin Feng poured him a cup of tea and asked him to sit down and talk.
Ren Gang picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp. He then quickly said, "Prince Qi's army of hundreds of thousands pursuing the Northern King was defeated. The battle took place near the small town of Ring Mountain Plain. The Northern King launched a counter-ambush, catching Prince Qi's pursuers completely off guard. His Highness Prince Qi's army was exhausted and was quickly defeated by the Northern Barbarians. All their baggage and food supplies were lost to the Northern Barbarians."
"Ah? So many people lost?" Lin Feng was a little confused.
Zhang Sanfeng said calmly, "It's normal. The battlefield is narrow, so having more people is useless because they can't fully deploy their troops. In terms of individual soldier morale, the Northern Barbarians are much stronger than the Great Yan."
"General Ren, how did you know?" Lin Feng asked.
"There are a lot of deserters outside the manor. I heard from them that they were going to come in, and I..." Ren Gang stopped talking.
"What do you mean? You're so hesitant and I can tell you're up to something." After hearing this, Han Shan felt that he had some unpleasant secrets.
"I want them to come in." Ren Gang looked at Lin Feng and Zhang Sanfeng nervously.
"No! We are all women and children here, and there are not many people who can fight. What if they come in and cause trouble?" Han Shan refused him outright. He still has two grandsons and cannot let them be in any danger.
Lin Feng also nodded. These deserters were too mixed and were not conducive to the safety of their own people.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and asked, "How many people are coming?"
"No less than five hundred." Ren Gang replied.
"Five hundred? Not many, Ren boy, can you control them?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, pointing to the armor on his body.
Ren Gang looked at his general armor, thought for a moment, and nodded heavily: "I am the superior officer, I can control them."
"Bullshit Shangguan, just a deserter." Han Shan said with disdain. He just disliked Ren Gang.
But Lin Feng didn't have time to listen to their bickering.
"Master, what do you mean? Can these deserters be accepted?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded with a smile: "Just like a turtle turning over a mountain, now that it has turned over, it must turn over again, so that it can survive. Disciple, it is time for you to accumulate some strength for yourself. You can't hide, this is all God's will."
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then said to Ren Gang, "General Ren, I'll leave these people to you. I can provide food, but if anything happens, don't blame me for being ruthless."
