Outside the city, the Third Prince's army and the barbarian army were already in a standoff.
The soldiers on both sides stood in their respective rows, and the smoke and dust rose among the crowd.
Unlike the solemn killing intent on the battlefield, the spies hiding in the surrounding dynasties looked as if they were watching a good show with their legs crossed and melon seeds in their mouths.
"What do you think we should do in this war?”
"There are at most 100,000 people in the north of the city. The barbarians have sent out 400,000 troops this time.”
"Forget about the 200,000 troops behind us, even if Su Dao wants to take down the 200,000 troops in front of us, it won't be easy.”
"No matter how they fight and who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to us.”
The spies from the various dynasties looked like they had been good friends for many years.
It was just that this show was too exciting.
Su Dao had a wolf before him and a tiger behind him.
However, how could a hundred thousand of them fight against four hundred thousand barbarians?
If Su Dao defended the city like usual, he would have been killed.
The barbarians could not break into the city in a short period of time, and the rations could not keep up, so they naturally retreated.
However, Su Dao, who had always been smart, seemed to have been muddled by anger this time. He actually faced the barbarian army head-on.
Even if Su Dao's 100,000 men could not defeat the 400,000 barbarian army, what could they do?
Could he use his remaining soldiers to repel King Zhennan's personal guards?
Although the various dynasties were openly and secretly belittling King Zhennan, saying that his words were exaggerated and nothing more than that.
However, he had never looked down on King Zhennan.
However, his personal guards were well-equipped and their bravery was second to none in Dali and even other countries.
More importantly, King Zhennan's cultivation was shocking. At such a young age, it was said that he had been cultivating in the grandmaster realm for many years.
There was not much news about him recently, but it was foreseeable that his cultivation would only become stronger!
It was even possible for him to touch the martial grandmaster realm.
"What a pity! If Su Dao had been a little more ruthless, this show would have been even more exciting!”
"That's right! If Su Dao let the barbarians enter the pass and let them attack the hinterland of Dali, it would be wonderful!”
"Su Dao is still too merciful! A person who was too kind could not conquer the world.”
Since ancient times, kings had always been ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve great things.
Not to mention allowing the barbarians to enter the pass, there were many people who would kill their own subjects for the throne.
There were many people who killed their brothers and fathers to ascend the throne, although such a situation had never happened in Dali because of the ancestral rules.
But how could a benevolent person like Su Dao achieve great things?
Sacrifice was necessary to achieve great things!
To strengthen oneself at all costs was the path of an emperor!
" The fatuous ruler of the Li Dynasty is truly muddle-headed. I had thought that the kind of ruler who toyed with the vassals just to get a smile from a beauty would only appear in history. That was the fatuous ruler of the Li Dynasty, and it was simply beyond that.”
"You underestimate the fatuous ruler of Dali!"
"Oh? Why did he say that? Could it be that the fatuous ruler of Dali had other plans and was far-sighted?”
"No, I can't! I'm saying that you're underestimating his stupidity. Don't you know that? Just as Su Dao was preparing to fight against the barbarians, the fatuous ruler sent King Zhennan to suppress Su Dao.”
"What is it? There's actually such a thing?"
The scouts from all over the place had received news at different speeds. It was obvious that they had not received the news that King Zhennan had been sent to suppress Su Dao.
He looked at the person who spoke in disbelief.
"They really are a pair of father and son. They look exactly the same. They must be biological!”
Su Dao did not want to let the barbarians enter the pass and sit back and reap the benefits. Instead, he went out of the city to fight the barbarians.
Everyone could still understand. After all, Su Dao had always loved his people like his own children and was incomparably benevolent.
Even the fatuous ruler of Dali was unwilling to wait for Su Dao to finish fighting the barbarians before coming to clean up the mess.
Instead, he immediately sent King Zhennan to suppress Su Dao.
Wasn't he bored to death? Did this father and son not have brains?
What did war rely on?
It was a scheme!
Deciding a victory thousands of miles away in a strategic plan!
If you can subdue the enemy without fighting, you will not fight.
If they could reduce the amount of troops they would conserve their strength to deal with unexpected situations.
The two of them were good! Was he afraid that not enough of his subordinates had died?
Just beat him up? Bind the scalp and fight, regardless of the losses?
Everyone thought that Su Dao had left the city to fight the barbarians because he was too merciful and not decisive enough.
In reality, Su Dao had other plans.
The people of Jubei City behind him could not die, but what was equally important was that…
Su Dao wanted to fight. Not only did he want to fight, but he also wanted to defeat the barbarians head-on.
As long as this was the case, when he sent his troops back to the capital.
Only then would the barbarians be cautious and not dare to take the opportunity to attack.
After losing this battle, they needed time to recover.
In this way, he would have no worries and would be able to deal with his muddle-headed king.
Otherwise, when he attacked the Li Dynasty, he would suddenly have hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers behind him.
Think about it, you're eating hotpot and singing to celebrate your victory!
Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of barbarians appeared behind you and took away your victory.
Therefore, defeating the barbarians was a must. Mercy was one thing, but it was not just that.
The days when the barbarians did not invade were the best days!
"Sigh! Look, why does the saber on the barbarian's waist look so familiar?”
"Wait a minute, let me see."
Some sharp-eyed scouts noticed that the sabers on the barbarian soldiers 'waists were a little strange.
The barbarians lacked resources and basically relied on robbing.
Therefore, he only had a few scimitars made of iron ore and did not have the spare money to make a scabbard.
There was a shiny steel knife hanging at their waists, without any decorations.
But now, the barbarian was wearing a scabbard on his waist, and there was a straight knife decorated with red flowers.
"F * ck! Isn't this the Li Dynasty's Cold River Saber?"
"What is it? Is this a saber from the Li Dynasty?"
The Han River of Dali was rich in iron ore, and the forging skills were superb.
It was the standard equipment of the Li army, and the Cold River Saber decorated with red flowers was one of the best.
King Zhennan's personal guards carried this kind of tassel Cold River Saber.
However, the Cold River Saber had always been a secret, not to mention such a high-quality one.
" How did such a treasured saber end up in the hands of the barbarians? The Li Dynasty never gave it away."
One of the scouts was about to say that the Li Dynasty had never sent it out.
He suddenly recalled that the fatuous ruler had gifted a batch of treasured sabers to the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Great Qian Empress had seen the Cold River Saber before and only praised it as a good saber.
The fatuous ruler immediately sent someone to deliver a batch of treasured sabers. This matter was widely known at that time.
"Interesting! The treasured saber that the fatuous ruler had given to the Empress of Da Qian was now in the hands of the barbarians to chop off his son's head. The Li Dynasty was truly filled with talents!”
An old intersex spy silently wrote a secret letter under his hand.
"Reporting to my Lord! The saber gifted to the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty by the fatuous ruler of the Li Dynasty had appeared in the hands of the elite barbarian soldiers. The Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was probably behind the barbarian attack.”
This good show was really getting more and more exciting!
