Chapter 230: Holy Mountain, Barbarian God
The barbarian king was sure that Battle would never dare to lie.
Because this kind of thing is so easy to investigate, even if Battle is very capable, it is impossible to buy off the remaining 70,000 barbarian warriors.
According to Battle, this is simply not the ability of the Great Cadre Army, if they were so strong, they would not give up the rich and fertile land such as the delta and retreat to Zhennan Pass.
So, who else can send out such an extraordinary attack, except for Bai Yujing's people?
When it comes to such an extraordinary existence, no matter how angry the barbarian king is, there is nothing he can do.
You must know that Bai Yujing is the same terrifying existence as the barbarian god they believe in.
With this kind of existence, no matter how many troops are sent, it will be in vain.
"It seems that this king can only go and ask to see the barbarian god."
Thinking of that terrifying existence, even the barbarian king, who had unparalleled authority in the barbarians, couldn't help but shudder, and a thick fear flashed in his eyes.
The barbarian god is the belief of the entire barbarian race and the patron saint of the entire barbarian.
But the barbarian god is not a benevolent god, but is very tyrannical, and the slightest disobedience, or the slightest displeasure, will be mercilessly slain.
This is true even for the barbarian king.
That's why the barbarian king is so afraid.
However, if you want to annex Daqian, you can't do it without the intervention of the barbarian gods.
The barbarian king gritted his teeth, got up and shouted: "Come on, prepare to drive, this king is going to the holy mountain to meet the barbarian god!" ”
The Holy Mountain is a steep mountain eight hundred miles away.
When he came to a place ten miles away from the holy mountain, the barbarian king ordered a stop, jumped out of the carriage and knelt on the ground, and slammed it.
After getting up, he looked respectful and reverent, looked at the holy mountain and said, "Great barbarian god, guardian of the barbarians, your servant, I have something important to report to you!" ”
After saying that, he got up, took a step forward and knocked again, repeating what he had said before.
"The great barbarian god, the guardian of the barbarians, your servant, has something important to report to you!"
Then the cycle began again, all the way to the holy mountain.
The nearly 10,000 followers behind him were not in the slightest surprise at this, and their expressions were calm, as if everything was supposed to be like this.
From morning until it was almost dark, the barbarian king finally came to the door of the temple.
The Barbarian King knelt at the door of the temple, and could clearly feel a terrible sense of oppression coming over his face, as he remembered when he was five years old when he faced a terrible evil beast.
Hopelessness, powerlessness and fear.
"Great barbarian god, supreme and majestic being, your most loyal servant, I want to see you!"
The barbarian king kowtowed respectfully, not daring to have the slightest slackness.
"Come in."
A cold and hoarse voice sounded like the roar of a fierce beast, and the muscles of the barbarian king couldn't help but tense.
"Thank you!"
He didn't even dare to lift his head, let alone get up, and crawled in like a maggot.
The Barbarian King secretly glanced at the depths of the temple with his peripheral vision, and there was a majestic presence with an indiscernible figure and face, hidden in the darkness.
In the darkness, there seemed to be countless fierce beasts roaring and struggling, and the terrifying aura made him tremble, and his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and it was even difficult to breathe.
"Say."
There was a hint of impatience in the barbarian god's tone.
The barbarian king didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said in the most concise language: "The barbarian warriors were hit by the gods in Daqian, and the thunder and fire in the sky killed three thousand evil beasts in an instant, and wiped out ten thousand warriors of our clan in an instant, and please have mercy on the barbarian gods!" ”
"Oh?" The barbarian god was slightly surprised, "In detail. ”
Then the barbarian king described in detail what had happened in Zhennanguan according to Battle's report.
The barbarian god said in a calm tone: "It's just a chicken and a dog." ”
As soon as the words fell, a token flew in front of the barbarian king and fell.
The barbarian king swept away, and there were many hideous-looking evil beasts engraved on the token, as well as many patterns and symbols that he couldn't understand, and a fierce aura came to his face, which made people shudder.
"This Imperial Beast Order can drive tens of thousands of high-level evil beasts, step down."
"Thank you!"
The barbarian king was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to the barbarian god, and then respectfully held the beast order with both hands, and left the temple backwards.
The Barbarian God Beast Command was not comparable to the kind of Beast Drum he had used before, not only could it drive more evil beasts, but it could also drive high-level evil beasts.
You know, there are strong and weak beasts.
The more powerful the beast, the harder it is to drive.
What I drove before was just some low-level evil beasts.
Powerful evil beasts, even the transcendent, will be very fearful.
As for whether these evil beasts could kill the transcendent existence of the Great Dry, the Barbarian King had no doubt at all.
But the barbarian god said that those are just chickens and dogs.
Leaving the Holy Mountain, the Barbarian King hurried back to the royal court and summoned Battle again.
He didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "This prince went to the holy mountain to ask for a meeting with the barbarian god, and the barbarian god gave the beast order, which can drive endless high-level evil beasts, you immediately go to various places to drive the high-level evil beasts to gather in one place, and then mobilize the elites of all departments to enter the Great Dry again!" ”
They can't be blamed for the last failure, when they encounter such an extraordinary being, even he has to be defeated.
Battle has always been loyal to him, and he is extremely in awe of him, plus he has a very strong ability to command troops and fight, and he is very familiar with the situation of the great cadres.
So, the barbarian king gave him this task.
When Battle heard that the barbarian king had asked for the beast order, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, the king, with the barbarian god's beast order, I will definitely be able to bulldoze the entire Daqian!" ”
Under the order of the barbarian king, the entire barbarian tribe was mobilized.
On the other side, the capital of Daqian.
Emperor Qianwu had not yet received the news that Li Changfeng had defeated three thousand evil beasts and the barbarian army to regain the lost territory.
On this day, it was the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss the supply of the southern and northern battlefields.
There were barbarians in the south and Hu in the north, which caused great pressure on the imperial court.
Li Changfeng commanded the southern expedition, and Emperor Qianwu made a decree without consulting with the civil and military officials.
Before the supply issue could be discussed, some ministers talked about Li Changfeng.
"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is extremely intelligent, he is still too young after all!"
"Yes, this is not an ordinary war, it is a national war between countries, and it is going to affect the fortunes of the great cadres!"
"Once Zhennan Pass is lost, my big dry will be in danger!"
"It should be too late to choose another merit to replace the Nine Emperor Princes, if you hesitate any longer, it will be dangerous!"
"Even if the artillery battalion and musket battalion are very powerful, there are only two thousand people, how can it turn the tide of the war?"
"You still have to be a veteran, Nangong Changming is the most suitable existence."
……
When Emperor Qianwu decided to let Li Changfeng go on the expedition, he did not continue to conceal the idea of the existence of the artillery battalion and the musket battalion, and told Ye Qingcang, Feng Quji and others about it at that time.
Nor did he order them to keep their mouths shut.
The existence of artillery battalions and musket battalions soon became known.
But there is a problem, that is, Emperor Qianwu did not explain in detail the horror of artillery and muskets at that time, and Ye Qingcang, Feng Qujian and others did not see it.
They tell people that artillery and muskets are very powerful, but they can't describe in detail how powerful they are and how powerful they are.
In this era when we have never seen hot weapons, people's ideological inertia is still on the basis of our understanding of cold weapons.
So, it's hard for them to understand.
Because of the huge gap in numbers and the inherent fear of evil beasts, they believed that Li Changfeng had no chance of turning the tide of the battle at all.
They didn't even say it, that is, they felt that Emperor Qianwu's move was too hasty, and they were simply taking Daqian's national fortunes as a child's play.
Even powerful ministers began to secretly transfer their belongings and dependents, so as to prevent the evil beasts from breaking through the Zhennan Pass and eating all the way to the capital.
Emperor Qianwu patiently listened to what the ministers said, and waited for them to speak for a while, then he said in a calm tone: "I believe that Li Changfeng will definitely be able to defeat the evil beast and regain the lost territory, so wait for the news." ”
The ministers looked at each other, all secretly sighing and shaking their heads.
Is this something to believe or not to believe?
No matter what aspect it is, Li Changfeng has no chance of defeating the barbarian army, let alone recovering the lost territory.
His Majesty's preference for Li Changfeng is simply to the point of losing his mind.
Some people even feel that the big cadres are in danger of destroying the country.
At this moment, an eager voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate.
"Good news! Good news! Good news in southern Xinjiang! ”
Emperor Qianwu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stood up suddenly.
