He did not care about the lives of the lower-class workers and had to prioritize the safety of the army.

Rely on the city to garrison and resist enemy attacks.

This will slow down the enemy's invasion.

The army must not be put in danger for these people.

But he also knew that the Sixth Prince was in charge of the charity.

If Li Ye were to be in danger, his generals would not do it either.

But he only had 100,000 troops.

And more than half were infantry.

The enemy had 200,000 cavalry.

No match at all.

What's more, the place where the road is being built has no strategic location to defend. If we rush to provide support rashly, we will most likely be wiped out.

I am in a dilemma about whether to go forward to support.

"Notify the Lancheng garrison that they still have 150,000 troops.

Send the cavalry across first, and we'll gather together.

At least it can pose a threat to the enemy.

I may not be able to save everyone, but at least I have to save His Highness."

Xiao Wenhan thought of a solution.

Since their own strength is not enough, they can only seek support from other armies.

Xi Wenhan sent out scouts to seek support.

Then he personally led the cavalry to the construction site.

Regardless of whether Li Ye can be saved or not, we must make an effort.

Even if it is investigated later, most of the responsibility can be waived.

The generals defending Lancheng were also shocked when they heard the news of the invasion of the barbarian coalition.

Logically speaking, the possibility of invasion during this season is very small.

And there was no sign at all, it was really too sudden.

Also because Li Ye was in danger, he had to be rescued no matter what.

Immediately dispatch troops to support the front.

The cavalry moved at great speed, and the two armies met at the agreed location.

Lancheng general Wu Wenzhong asked as soon as he met him.

"General Qi, what's the situation? How did the enemy invade so quickly?"

Xiao Wenhan sighed helplessly, "I guess it's because the enemy discovered our road construction and realized it posed a great threat to them.

That's why he led his army to attack regardless of the consequences.

The people doing the work were hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers. Capturing these people could not only disrupt the road construction but also obtain a large number of slaves.

This is a great temptation for the barbarians."

"We can't let them succeed! With so many people, it will be a huge threat to us whether we use them to build military parapets or construct cities." Wu Wenzhong was shocked.

The barbarian army's combat effectiveness was originally extremely strong.

If they were allowed to develop, they would surely become the mortal enemy of the Dayuan Dynasty.

"The enemy has been ready to attack for a long time, but the imperial court cannot send troops in a short time.

Even if the garrisons of several of our cities were to unite, we would still be no match for the enemy.

It is unrealistic to want to save everyone.

His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is in the front directing the road construction, and we must rescue him safely."

Wu Wenzhong agreed with what he said: "Then let's not delay any longer and catch up with him as soon as possible.

I hope His Highness the Sixth Prince will be safe and sound and not be captured by the enemy."

The two men did not dare to delay for any longer. After exchanging information, they immediately led their troops to rush past the city at full speed.

We rushed along the repaired road and finally arrived at the scene after a long time.

From a distance, you could see that the venue was in a mess.

Many tents were burned, and even though the fire had been extinguished, thick smoke was still coming out.

It can be seen that a very fierce battle took place.

The two generals in front of the army couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.

Am I too late?

Hundreds of thousands of people have been abducted?

The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

If rescue is not timely, we will have to bear a great responsibility.

In particular, the Sixth Prince held an important position in the court and was increasingly valued by the Emperor.

This is troublesome.

The two people were very nervous.

Order the troops to search the front.

"Be careful and retreat immediately if you see a barbarian army!

We must find the Sixth Prince's whereabouts."

䮹 Wenhan gave orders to his subordinates.

All scouts set out immediately to search the area.

The remaining troops waited on the spot and did not dare to advance rashly before knowing the enemy's exact location.

After the scouts rushed over, they found that the scene was in a mess and corpses were scattered everywhere.

But no living enemy soldiers were found.

Finally encountered the defending Dayuan cavalry.

After asking, I found out that the enemy had been defeated.

The scout who was investigating the news was full of disbelief and thought it was a dream.

Most of the people present were young and strong laborers, with only a few thousand cavalry. How could they possibly be a match for the nearly 200,000 enemy troops?

Zhao Wudi's cavalry brought them to the scene to watch.

Only then did I completely believe it.

He proudly said to the scouts, "No matter how strong the enemy is, under the command of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, they will be easily defeated.

Moreover, they annihilated 70,000 to 80,000 enemy troops.

If the remaining people had not escaped quickly, they would have been killed without a single one left."

The scout didn't know how they achieved victory.

But this is good news for them.

At least I don't have to fight the enemy to death.

After understanding clearly, report the news immediately.

"What do you mean by defeating the enemy? Did the imperial court send troops here in advance?

This is impossible.

Even if we send troops to support, we will first inform the garrison.”

䮹 Wenhan's face was full of disbelief, and he thought he had misheard. After confirming it again and again, he was still full of doubt.

"It's true! We personally went over and checked! There are still many enemy corpses on the ground.

The scene has not been cleaned up yet.

Moreover, the enemy troops have disappeared and are said to have retreated.

I heard that it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who led his troops to set up an ambush in advance, annihilating tens of thousands of elite enemy cavalry."

After hearing the scout's words, Wu Wenzhong was also extremely shocked and really couldn't believe it.

"Is the Sixth Prince really that powerful? Even if he were by Zhao Wudi's side, it would be impossible for him to defeat the enemy with just a few young and strong men?"

"Let's go over there and take a look! If we ask them in person how they won the battle, we'll know for sure."

If there is any good method, it can be promoted to the entire army.

Next time you encounter barbarian cavalry, you won't be afraid anymore."

䮹 Wenhan said.

"Okay, let's go over there right away!"

The two men immediately led the army forward.

Arrived at the military camp.

I saw many people cleaning up the scene, stripping off the enemy's clothes and armor, and placing the corpses on the firewood to burn.

There were also many horse-drawn carriages transporting timber.

Just by looking at the piles of corpses, it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of them.

It seems that what the scout said was right.

They actually defeated the enemy and killed tens of thousands of them.

You have to know that there is a big difference between the barbarians and the Dayuan people.

It is also easy to tell whether they are cavalry or not.

This is because cavalrymen will have thick calluses on the base of their palms.

If you ride horses for a long time, your thighs will turn outward.

You can easily tell them apart at a glance.

Xiao Wenhan and the other man carefully observed Dayuan's army at the scene.

There weren't many regular troops, most of them were laborers in shorts.
