Mr. Xu actually didn't care at all how Xu Zhengqi died.
Although that person is the real ancestor of their Xu family, he is still too far away. Furthermore, Mr. Xu is incompatible with the Xu Mansion, so why would he care about Xu Zhengqi, a person from a hundred years ago
However, the high priest of the Northern Barbarians actually said that his master promised Xu Zhengqi another life.
Who is this Northern Barbarian Imperial Master
Also, did Xu Zhengqi really live a second life
The unknown is the scariest thing.
If the Northern Barbarian Imperial Master really has such means to change the situation, then who else in the world can compete with him
So, there must be something wrong with this!
Mr. Xu is a rational person and will not let others influence his thoughts casually. Even if something happens, he will think it through carefully and will not easily make impulsive actions that he will regret.
People around saw Mr. Xu holding the letter in his hand with a solemn expression and being silent for a long time, and their expressions changed involuntarily.
After a long time, Mr. Xu tore up the letter paper in his hand, threw it away, and watched the pieces of paper fly in all directions in the wind.
"Pass this order from the Marquis and put the entire army on alert. The Northern Barbarians are coming!"
"Also, immediately send a letter to Uncle Yongwu and ask him to lead his troops north immediately!"
Although we don’t know exactly when the Northern Barbarians will arrive, since the Northern Barbarians’ High Priest has taken action, it means that the Northern Barbarians are having a hard time now.
Otherwise, with the aloof attitude of the Northern Barbarian High Priest, how could it be possible for him to write to him in person? Moreover, this writing is two letters.
"Got the order!"
After receiving Mr. Xu's order, the personal guards immediately conveyed the order as quickly as possible.
The Northern Barbarians had a mortal feud with the Tang Dynasty.
This is a fight between races, a fight for survival.
…
On the Gobi Desert two hundred miles away from Dragon City, the northern barbarians who could not be seen beyond the horizon were slowly walking towards Dragon City.
The wind is roaring and the snow is blowing.
The vast and huge team stretched for an unknown distance.
The wind and snow were howling, and countless people, horses, cattle and sheep were meandering through the snow. People kept falling, including cattle and sheep, but the people around them were numb.
They just mechanically followed the large group of people southward.
The sedan chair of the Northern Barbarian high priest walked on one side of the team, and no one would intrude on the traces of the high priest's sedan chair.
To the people of the Northern Barbarians, the high priest is a god on earth.
Facing the gods, they only need to worship.
"High Priest, there is no reply from Longcheng!"
Tuoba Aofeng, who has now succeeded to the throne of the Northern Barbarian King, personally led people to appear next to the Northern Barbarian High Priest's carriage and reported the news obtained by the forward scouts to the Northern Barbarian High Priest.
In the sedan chair, there was no words for a long time.
Finally, when Tuoba Aofeng was feeling panic-stricken, a voice finally came out from the sedan chair.
"Get ready to fight!"
"Follow the decree of the high priest!"
Tuoba Aofeng heard the crisp words coming from the sedan chair and responded hurriedly.
In fact, even if Tuoba Aofeng succeeded the Northern Barbarian King with the support of the high priest, he did not know whether their high priest was a man or a woman, old or young.
The only thing he knew was not to anger the high priest.
In the northern barbarians, the high priest is God, the sky.
The horn sounds.
The rushing team that was lifeless a moment ago suddenly came to life.
Many young and strong men began to break away from the team and rush forward.
All of them understood that there was no way out from here.
If this battle is defeated, the Northern Barbarians will be exterminated.
If this battle is won, the Northern Barbarians will be able to live a different tomorrow.
Tuoba Aofeng looked at the team that had quickly gathered under his command, and saw that everyone was filled with murderous intent, but he was not happy at all.
Because what they have to face is the devil of the Tang Dynasty!
That man named Xu Yuanba!
If the high priest is a god in the world, then Xu Yuanba is a devil living in the world.
Unfortunately, because Mr. Xu built Dragon City and Pingman City into pure military towns, the Northern Barbarians had no idea what kind of opponent they were about to face.
They didn't even know that Xu Laoer, whom they regarded as a devil, was not in Longxi Mansion at the moment, but in Jiannan Mansion thousands of miles away.
If they knew this, they would definitely work day and night to capture Dragon City or Pingman City while Xu Laoer didn't come back.
However, they know nothing.
But even if they didn't know anything, they still had the perfect opportunity to catch up with Xu Laoer's absence.
"Live or die!"
When the Northern Barbarian army appeared in the sight of the Dragon City garrison three days later, Tuoba Aofeng, the Northern Barbarian King, uttered these words of mourning.
When leaving the homeland where their ancestors had lived for generations, everyone knew that they would not be able to go back in a short time.
The savages from the north are coming, crazy beasts who don't even deserve to be called humans.
The northern barbarians call themselves brave, but when faced with those beasts that feed on humans, they simply cannot muster the courage to fight.
Each of these beasts is as strong as an ox, waving huge sticks, roaring and rushing forward. They seem not to know what pain is. Unless they die or have their limbs cut off, they will keep fighting. Until they are all dead or victorious.
The northern barbarians had fought head-on with these savages several times. Although they won each time, their so-called victory was entirely achieved with human lives.
No one knows how many beast-like people there are. Even their high priests just remain silent in the face of these savages.
In the end, for the continuation of the race, the Northern Barbarians had no choice but to migrate south.
…
On Dragon City, Mr. Xu saw the Northern Barbarian army appearing in his field of vision, and he waved his hand calmly.
The guards around him beat the war drum immediately.
The war drums sounded, and Longcheng immediately entered a wartime state.
On the renovated city wall, countless eight-niu crossbows were ready to be fired.
As long as the Northern Barbarian army enters the shooting range, they will be baptized by an unprecedented wild crossbow arrow.
Tuoba Aofeng rode on his horse, slowly raised the royal flag in his hand, and shook it vigorously.
The huge royal flag fluttered in the wind and snow.
The soldiers of the Northern Barbarians took action immediately. They quickly assembled the catapults one after another, and then slowly approached the direction of Dragon City.
"Sling, ready!"
Seeing that the Northern Barbarians also had slings, Mr. Xu waved his hand again.
"put!"
In order to defend this dragon city, Mr. Xu did a lot of pre-war drills.
The catapults on the city head have all undergone multiple rounds of actual slinging combat, and there are special marks on their hit points.
Or a tree, or a snow nest...
Of course, there are also those that are so powerful that they can lock the impact point of their catapult by just measuring the distance with their fingers. Naturally, there is no need to set a special mark. (End of chapter)
