The word "tragic" is no longer enough to describe this battlefield. It is littered with charred corpses and Northern Barbarian soldiers wailing in pain.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough! It's over, my army is finished!"
The billowing smoke brought by the fireball turned the place into a huge brazier. The King of the North coughed violently while running away.
Listening to the screams coming from behind him, King Bei wanted to die, but his instinct for survival made him quicken his pace.
There was no way to escape, and fireballs were rolling down and rockets were shot at them all around. The King of the North thought of water attack and fire attack, but it was too late, everything was too late.
The scorching heat scorched the Northern King. He looked around him. The Liman people had disappeared, and he wanted to chop them down. Why hadn't they reported the kerosene situation earlier? They'd only revealed it at the last minute. Hundreds of thousands of troops! Hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian warriors! Because of this one mistake, they were going to be destroyed today.
"Oh my God! If you want to kill, just kill me and spare my Northern Barbarian warriors!" The Northern King roared to the sky. Even so, he did not stop running away.
The royal family of the Northern Barbarians cannot die in such a cowardly way, and the royal family of the Northern Barbarians cannot be captured alive by the Great Yan Dynasty. He is the king, he wants to regroup, he wants to kill all the people of Great Yan, he wants to destroy Great Yan, this is his lifelong expectation.
“Boom!”
“Clatter!”
At this moment, there was a sudden loud thunder, and raindrops as big as beans fell down.
"Hahaha! God will not kill me, God will not kill me!" The King of the North felt a chill on his face.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew, the sky became darker and darker, and heavy rain poured down. The situation on the scene immediately improved, the thick smoke had cleared, and the rockets lost their power under the interference of the strong wind and heavy rain.
The Northern King stopped, wiped the rain from his face, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Order the army to move closer to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The command team raised a big horn and blew it hard. The sound reached the ears of the command soldiers scattered everywhere, and those command soldiers then passed the assembly order to each team.
One after another, about 100,000 survivors all moved towards the location of the Northern King.
In this fire attack, a whole army of 300,000 was wiped out in a short period of time. This had never happened before in the history of the two armies and was worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. The Northern King was destined to become a laughing stock in history and a shame for the Northern Barbarians.
The King of the North knew that he might not survive if he went back. Even if his father wanted to protect him, it would be of no use. The losses this time were too great, and the Northern Barbarians had suffered serious damage.
"Lingbing, where are the people from the Liman tribe?" the Northern King asked viciously. He wanted to kill people.
"In reply to His Majesty the Northern King, the Liman tribe disappeared after the fire attack began." The soldier replied.
"Hmph! What a Li Man! When I return, I will make sure to exterminate your clan. Send out the order, all troops, to attack, and drive them back home."
Although King Yu felt very depressed, he still thought that withdrawing the troops was the most important thing now. If these more than 100,000 people were wiped out, there would definitely be chaos in the Northern Barbarian Land. It was normal to lose a battle, but being completely wiped out was unacceptable.
At the command of the Northern King, all the troops attacked towards one place.
The heavy rain, coupled with the madness of a trapped beast fighting to the bitter end, made the Northern Barbarian soldiers burst out with all their potential. Finally, the ambushed troops were defeated.
After this attack, more than 10,000 people died, and the 90,000-strong army rushed towards Jingmen Pass like crazy.
…
In a stone cave high in the mountains, which is heavily guarded, a large flag stands tall with a big word "Pray" written on it.
A middle-aged man in golden armor was looking at the heavy rain outside the cave with a look of loss on his face.
Although the middle-aged man was wearing armor, he did not look like a soldier. Judging from his fair face and light beard, he was quite elegant.
"Report! Your Highness, Prince Qi, the Northern Barbarian Army has escaped!"
The soldier who came to report reported tremblingly.
Prince Qi nodded slightly, without a trace of anger. "Yes! I understand. I don't blame the soldiers! This is God's will. Send out orders, march out the army, and pursue the defeated Northern Barbarians. Don't let them stop. Send out orders again, all main forces, press forward, and strive to occupy the Jingmen Pass before the defeated Northern Barbarians reach it. We will attack them from both sides and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Order the soldiers to leave.
"This heavy rain comes at a really bad time!" King Qi sighed. Although it was different from his previous battlefield simulation, the casualties in this battle were so great that it was enough to be recorded in the history of Dayan. This was somewhat comforting. If all the invading enemies were killed before Jingmen Pass, he would have achieved a great achievement.
At this time, a man wearing a bamboo hat came out of the rain outside the cave.
The man came before Prince Qi, knelt on both knees, and respectfully said, "Li Guo, the special envoy of Prince Yu, pays homage to His Majesty Prince Qi."
"Oh? Are you Li Guo, the wise and brave man under my brother Yu's command? Please stand up quickly."
Prince Qi put aside his airs as a prince and helped Li Guo up with his own hands, not caring about his sleeves being stained with mud and water, and was very enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qi, for your kindness!" Li Guo stood up, bowed and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
King Qi smiled and waved his hand, asked Li Guo to sit down, and asked the guards to bring a cup of hot tea.
"What instructions does my brother Yu have?" King Qi asked with a smile.
Li Guo took a sip of hot tea and quickly replied, "Your Highness Prince Yu will be able to lead the army to Jingmen Pass the day after tomorrow."
Prince Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, will the army from the Imperial Court's Ministry of War also come?"
Li Guo replied, "Exactly. This drama should have ended. The Northern Barbarians had an army of over 400,000 soldiers entering the country. We had originally thought that the three parties would unite to destroy them, but we didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Qi would destroy 70% to 80% of them. His Royal Highness Prince Yu didn't expect this, and neither did the Imperial Court's Ministry of War."
Prince Qi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yu will ascend the throne soon. This is just a gift from me as a younger brother. It's nothing."
"Your Highness Prince Qi is a man of great talent and benevolence. For the sake of the people of Dayan, he has made sacrifices that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. I admire you very much." After Li Guo finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Prince Qi.
Prince Qi smiled and waved his hand. "Everyone thinks I will be the emperor of Dayan, but they don't know that I don't have the appearance of an emperor, nor do I have the domineering aura of my brother Yu. I am only suitable to be a subordinate minister. I know my own limitations, but I can't stand your praise."
Li Guo smiled faintly: "This time, by luring the enemy into our territory, we can ensure the stability of our northern border for ten years. Then we can train our troops and crush the northern barbarians in one fell swoop."
"That's the plan, but it's hard on the people who are still in the dark. They have suffered many casualties along the way in their attempt to escape. We in Dayan cannot forget their sacrifices." King Qi said this with a look of guilt on his face.
