112: Li Dingbei died in battle, and the country was in chaos

This was a crossbow unit, and the person leading it looked coldly at Li Dingbei.

He waved his hand.

"Shoot!"

A thousand crossbows fired, and Li Dingbei panicked. He used his iron spear to block nine hundred crossbow bolts. He was known as the number one expert under the Empire's Marshal, and he certainly had the strength, but the horse he was riding couldn't hold on any longer.

It rolled and fell to the ground.

"Shoot!"

Crossbow bolts rained down like arrows, piercing his body!

Unable to resist the sky full of crossbow bolts any longer, Li Dingbei was shot into a hedgehog by his own men.

Under the Empire's Marshal, Great Qian's strongest General, Li Dingbei, died in battle!

He did not die at the hands of the Barbarians, but under his own crossbow bolts!

The sinister General walked over, checked, and confirmed that Li Dingbei was dead beyond doubt. He felt relieved.

He sneered, "I am the younger brother of the Wanqing City Lord. Today, I have avenged my brother. Your death is not unjust!"

If Li Dingbei were still alive, he would definitely feel very wronged, because he really didn't kill the Wanqing City Lord.

He died with his eyes wide open!

That scoundrel framed me?

"Retreat!"

The General came on the Emperor's orders. After sniping Li Dingbei, he burned the scene to the ground, led his troops, and quickly left!

In the dense forests of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there were banditss everywhere. The thirty-six bandits armies had quietly grown. Each one had a thousand-man team, gathering together to form an army of tens of thousands. A direct confrontation with the official army was unlikely, but this kind of pursuit and ambush was exactly the banditss' strength.

A large amount of supplies and logistical support were plundered by these banditss.

These banditss even stole all the armor and money bags from the corpses of the official soldiers, leaving nothing behind.

Following Han Huohuo, they all made a fortune.

The mountain roads were rugged, and there were fires everywhere.

Of the fifty thousand-strong army, over ten thousand died in battle, and the remaining thirty thousand scattered and fled.

This is how human armies are.

If there were no such thing as morale.

If everyone fought hard, they might not necessarily lose.

But once the formation is chaotic and morale collapses, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will only trample each other to death, completely useless.

The eighteen feudal lords formed an alliance, the Leader died, and the Northwest region once again became a chaotic place! Ambitious individuals began to have ideas.

The siege of Tongtian City was thus lifted.

Han Huohuo was still in Ke City and did not participate in the battle, but he still rose five levels!

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 25. Please choose your new skill.]

[Elementary Intelligence & Primary Gold Coins]

Primary Gold Coins were useless; with Mu Jiu's super internal affairs, his family did not lack gold coins. Elementary Intelligence increased knowledge. Was he going to go further and further down the path of a magician?

"Choose Elementary Intelligence!"

[Elementary Intelligence]: Intelligence cap increases by 10%, minimum increase of 1 point.

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 26.]

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 27.]

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 28.]

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 29.]

He looked at his latest attributes.

[Lord]: Han Huohuo

[Level]: Twenty-nine

[Title]: Space-Time Walker (SSS)

[Attributes]: Strength 23 (5), Defense 18 (20), Stamina 16 (11), Intelligence 23 (15).

[Exclusive Skills]: Mechanical Specialization, Reverse Time and Space, Giant Killer.

[General Skills]: Intermediate Leadership, Primary Attack, Intermediate Wisdom, Advanced Earth Magic, Elementary Intelligence.

Logically, one cannot learn advanced skills without breaking through to the second transfer, but Advanced Earth Magic was forcefully broken through using a skill scroll, so it was not restricted by Hero transfers.

In addition to a large amount of experience points.

After this battle, he also obtained a large number of remnants, piling up weapons and armor higher than a small mountain, and damaged siege weapons.

Mu Jiu specifically recruited a garbage collection team for this.

There were a total of over a dozen people, working three shifts, specifically responsible for recycling equipment at the Transcendent Recycling Furnace.

Obtained 106 iron ingots, 20 wood

Obtained 20 iron ingots

Obtained 47 iron ingots, 19 wood

Obtained 2 iron ingots

Obtained 11 iron ingots

Obtained 232 wood

.......

Each item didn't seem like much, but the mountain-like equipment, that was tens of thousands of pieces of wreckage. Just the iron recycled amounted to hundreds of thousands.

While recycling resources.

Han Huohuo inexplicably leveled up again.

[Congratulations, Lord, you have reached Level 30. Please choose your new skill.]

[Intermediate Attack & Intermediate Wisdom]

Han Huohuo thought for a moment and did not choose Intermediate Wisdom, but chose Intermediate Attack.

[Intermediate Attack]: Increases Lord's strength by 30%, minimum increase of 2 points.

Because his attributes would be distributed to various units, and his ranged attack units were the most numerous, obviously, among all attributes, strength had the highest priority!

Coupled with equipment bonuses, Han Huohuo's strength had reached 34, which was considered a very high level among first-transfer Heroes.

Han Huohuo whistled. It turned out that even by lying down and doing nothing, he could still get immense wealth!

Then he discovered a sad fact.

His level of commanding wars was probably not even a fraction of Han Xin's.

Who dares to say that after transmigrating, they become incredibly smart and can then easily defeat a true god of war of the current era?

That was simply too absurd.

So Han Huohuo didn't care at all. He was a cheat, so the world was his! As long as the most powerful Heroes worked for him, why did he have to be great at fighting himself?

This kid always had a clear understanding.

So for city construction, he listened to Mu Jiu. For troop deployment, he listened to Han Xin and Hua Mulan.

That was enough!

The next day, Duoduo received the news of the great victory at Tongtian City. He trotted all the way to the Barbarian King's palace to congratulate Han Huohuo.

He was genuinely happy.

Tongtian City being defended meant that the Great Qian Dynasty had lost their leverage and could not demand compensation from the Barbarians.

All victories on the battlefield would be converted into economic benefits.

He sat opposite Han Huohuo.

He was exceptionally emotional.

"King, do you think the Great Qian Dynasty will come to us to request a peace treaty?"

"No!"

Han Huohuo shook his head.

Duoduo was a little surprised: "They have no leverage left, and their own internal situation is chaotic. Don't they want to sign a peace treaty with us?"

"That's not it either. They are very anxious, but they cannot sign this agreement."

"Huh?"

Humans were too complex. Duoduo was a simple-minded Orc and couldn't understand.

"It's not their problem, it's our problem. Sardin has already raised the banner of rebellion. Until we pacify Sardin, the Great Qian Dynasty will not come to negotiate with us!"

Only then did Duoduo realize.

Who the Chief of the Barbarians was had not yet been determined. Sardin still controlled half of the Barbarian power.

Only by pacifying Sardin could they engage in peace negotiations with the Great Qian Dynasty.

Duoduo was a little worried.

"King, do you mean we have to go back and fight a decisive battle with Sardin? Will the Great Qian Dynasty take advantage of our battle with Sardin to launch a sneak attack from behind?"
