Rows of black crossbow bolts shot into the chests of the Xianbei barbarians in the front row.
Although these 20,000 Xianbei cavalry were considered elites, they panicked under the sudden ambush.
"Ah, my leg."
"My eyes."
The more panicked they were, the more likely they would be trampled on.
Every single Xianbei barbarian wanted to live, but under the barrage of black arrows, they became terrified.
The trap set up outside Yanmen Pass had caused these Xianbei cavalry to fall into it and be killed on the spot.
The Xianbei leader's pupils constricted as he shouted,"Retreat! We've been tricked! Retreat!"
As his deputy retreated, he was shot by an arrow.
Before the deputy general died, he glared at the leader unwillingly. Why didn't he listen to him?
"Shoot."
On the city wall, Zhang Liao looked coldly at the panicking Xianbei cavalry.
With his order, another group of archers fired terrifying bolts.
Arrows flew across the sky. Some made a sharp sound, while others made no sound.
Puff, puff, puff.
Out of the twenty thousand Xianbei cavalry, more than ten thousand died at Yanmen Pass.
They did not break through the Yanmen Pass, nor did they rob women and food.
Every Xianbei cavalryman who died at Yanmen Pass asked unwillingly,"Why?"
Why did things change so quickly?
Why would there be Yanmen guards lying in ambush at the city gate tower?
Could it be that none of the thousands of hook soldiers survived? Dying on the city walls?
However, how did such confidential information leak out?
As the Xianbei leader retreated, a few thoughts flashed through his mind.
He had fallen into a trap and suffered heavy casualties.
The Xianbei leader reluctantly led his remaining soldiers to leave Yanmen Pass.
Suddenly, a torch lit up on the other side of Yanmen Pass. Meng Tian looked down at the retreating Xianbei leader and said coldly,""Die."
Before she could finish her sentence, Meng Tian drew her bow and nocked an arrow. The black arrow pierced through the Xianbei leader's head.
With a puffing sound, a gush of liquid gushed out.
The Xianbei leader pointed at Meng Tian. He wanted to say something, but he fell off his horse and died on the spot.
"The leader is dead."
"The leader was killed?"
For a moment, the Xianbei cavalry that had lost their backbone panicked even more.
Without their leader, the Xianbei cavalry were in a daze.
"Kill!" Meng Tian shouted.
The Meng Army charged out from behind Meng Tian, their morale soaring as they charged towards the Xianbei cavalry.
Many Xianbei cavalrymen didn't even have time to react before they were assassinated by the Meng army.
The remaining Xianbei barbarians had low morale and were not in the mood to fight.
Rumble!
The gates of Yanmen Pass opened, and Zhang Liao and Baiqi led the Yanmen Cavalry and the Great Qin Cavalry to charge out and fight.
Liu Yu stood at the city gate tower and sneered,""When we had the Thirty-Six Stratagems, you were still catching lice. Hehe, are you worthy of playing tricks with me?”
Looking at the Xianbei cavalry being devoured, Liu Yu's eyes flashed.
Next, Bu Dugen's Xianbei cavalry had 140,000 left.
At this moment, Meng Tian, Baiqi, and Zhang Liao had already killed twenty thousand Xianbei cavalry outside Yanmen Pass.
The generals left their men behind to clean up the battlefield. They then went up to the city gate and paid their respects to Liu Yu.
"My lord, the twenty thousand Xianbei cavalrymen who attempted to attack Yanmen Pass at night have all died outside.”
"Alright, inform General Lu Bu and the thirty thousand Bing Province cavalry of this battle.”
"Yes."
One of the Black Ice Platform's secret agents quickly brought a message to the Xianbei barbarians 'rear, informing Lu Bu of this matter.
Not only did the twenty thousand Xianbei cavalry not gain anything, they all died outside Yanmen Pass.
The Black Ice Platform spies hiding in the Xianbei camp began to spread rumors.
For a time, rumors started to spread in the Xianbei camp.
It was said that 20,000 Xianbei cavalry had died at Yanmen Pass.
It was said that there was a heavenly god helping Yanmen Pass.
It was also said that the Yanmen Pass army would arrive at the camp in a few days and kill the Left Sage Prince Bu Dugen.
There were even more ridiculous rumors that the Left Sage Prince Bu Dugen was seriously ill.
Whether it was true or not, most of the Xianbei soldiers felt that the 20,000 cavalrymen that attacked Yanmen Pass at night were likely to be defeated.
Soon, the rumors spread by the Black Ice Platform's secret agents had an effect. From time to time, there would be Xianbei barbarians who took the risk and escaped while Bu Dugen was unaware.
The entire Xianbei camp was filled with rumors and people were in turmoil.
The already low morale became even lower. Most of the Xianbei soldiers were listless and missed their loved ones in the distance.
Outside Yanmen Pass, a 20,000 Xianbei cavalry fortress appeared.
At this moment, the first ray of sunlight shone from the mountains to the Yanmen Pass, shining on everyone's faces.
In just one night, not a single one of the twenty thousand Xianbei cavalry survived, causing the morale of the soldiers to soar.
If the order was given, these soldiers would immediately charge towards the Xianbei camp.
Liu Yu didn't do that. He wanted to use the least number of casualties to deal with the 140,000 Xianbei barbarians.
"My lord, the Black Ice Platform's secret agents have sent news that the Xianbei camp is full of rumors and the people are uneasy.”
"Alright, let's rest and wait for the Xianbei barbarians to come. This time, we'll capture them all.”
"Yes."
Baiqi, Meng Tian, and Zhang Liao replied in unison. It was as if a 140,000 Xianbei barbarians had appeared before their eyes.
