"Brothers, don't be afraid! We had nothing from the beginning, and it was His Highness who took us in.
Even if we die in battle, we must kill a few more to make up for our losses. Your Highness will take good care of our families."
The team leader loudly encouraged morale.
"You're right. I've been fed up with these barbarians for a long time! Today is a good day to kill a few more and get my revenge."
"What are you afraid of? I was almost starving to death, and it's only because I met Your Highness that I've been able to live a good life for so long.
It’s more than enough to be alive today.”
"Everyone, don't panic. Stay steady, aim, and shoot."
…
At this moment, everyone was eager to fight, and no one was afraid.
Most of these people used to live in border areas.
Almost all of his family members were killed by the barbarians, and he hated them very much.
When they were almost starving to death, Li Ye came and took them in.
Not only did they feed them, but they also taught them to read and write.
Since they were more familiar with the barbarians on the grassland, Li Ye asked them to join the caravan.
Tell them that doing business is not just about making money, but also about getting a lot of information about the barbarians.
Only by understanding the barbarians well enough can we find ways to deal with them.
When these people heard that they could take revenge, they volunteered to join the caravan without hesitation.
It’s just that he usually hides well and always has a smile on his face when he sees the barbarians.
However, they did find out a lot of useful information.
Especially the last time Qin Qingxue led the army to defeat the barbarians.
Li Ye told them that the intelligence they provided played a crucial role in winning the battle, which made them very happy.
All the efforts over the years have not been in vain.
Even if they were in danger now, no one would regret it.
Because they had long since put life and death aside and knew that this day would come.
Since there was no shelter on the grassland, we could only put the horses in front.
All crossbows were strung and aimed at the oncoming enemies.
Soon the barbarian enemy army caught up and stopped outside the range.
When you see the defensive formation they formed, you can tell that these people must have been trained.
"I was so careless. I never thought that the Dayuan people would use the caravan to gather information.
These people are obviously elite soldiers of the army.
In this situation, they didn't panic and formed such a good formation.
Fortunately, we discovered it in advance.
"If these people were to get information during the war, the consequences would be disastrous," the Barbarian general said in a deep voice.
"Then what are we waiting for? Since we know these people are spies, we can wipe them all out with one charge."
"Nonsense! If you knew these people were spies, you should have captured them alive.
Find out how many caravans still have spies and what their purpose is.
We have to find all of them first."
The barbarian general scolded his opponent.
Although the barbarians are fierce in battle, many of them have strong limbs but no brains.
Just a pursuit of violence.
When encountering love, I don't even use my brain.
"Let them surrender quickly, or they will die!"
When the men heard the order, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "You can't escape. Surrender quickly and you still have a chance to survive.
Our general said that your lives will not be harmed as long as you surrender.
If you continue to resist, I will kill you all."
The caravan members immediately started cursing, "I don't believe you damn barbarians, if you have the guts, just do it now.
If you don't have the guts to attack, then get out of here. I don't have time to bother you."
Upon hearing this, all the barbarians looked extremely unhappy and started to curse.
Seeing that the barbarian generals were determined to resist, they did not want to waste time.
Especially since he just saw some people running away separately.
And they left very quickly.
He knew that these people were riding barbarian war horses and there was no chance of catching up.
It goes without saying that he leaked the information.
Perhaps it won't be long before the defenders send someone to rescue us.
These people must be captured before reinforcements arrive.
"Since they don't know whether to live or die, there's no need to waste time. Prepare for the attack.
Also, remember to leave a few people alive for questioning."
After giving the order, the barbarian cavalry quickly formed an attack formation.
With a roar, the cavalry began to move at full speed.
Once in combat mode, everyone's eyes were filled with fanaticism and bloodlust.
It seems that they have treated the other party as a lamb on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will.
When they were within range, the leader shouted, "Shoot!"
Dozens of them were fired at the same time.
The barbarian cavalrymen crouched on their horses, holding small shields to protect their vital parts.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Many crossbow arrows missed, but several cavalrymen were unable to dodge and were hit.
"Don't bother with the horses now. Shoot their horses first."
The team leader also saw that the situation was not good and quickly adjusted his combat methods.
They still have too few people and cannot copy the military training methods for all of them.
You can only try to consume the enemy's attack as much as possible.
After shooting the arrow, throw the crossbow back.
Someone behind continued to string the crossbow.
Then he took out the second crossbow and aimed it at the barbarian's warhorse.
The warhorse was so large that it was impossible to dodge.
After being shot by crossbow arrows, the war horses felt pain and slowed down their running speed. Some horses were even shot in the vital parts and fell to the ground.
The barbarian cavalry was so angry that their eyes were bloodshot.
They valued their war horses more than their own lives, and were heartbroken to see them being shot.
"Damn the Dayuan people! I'm going to chop them into minced meat."
Although the barbarian cavalry were numerous and fought fiercely, they still could not withstand the huge damage from the sharp crossbows.
Seeing that he could not charge forward, he immediately got off his horse, turned his horse around, and quickly put some distance between them.
Before a charge even reached the front, more than thirty horses had been lost and more than ten men had been shot dead.
The barbarian generals were shocked and angry. They did not expect that these Dayuan people were so powerful.
I originally thought that I could take care of them all with one charge.
Unexpectedly, I suffered a great loss.
Only then did I understand why so many of my men were killed.
The lethality of this crossbow is really too strong.
Moreover, he saw that Nuye was relatively small in size and could be easily controlled by one person.
This shocked him.
㱗The Dayuan army had never been seen using this kind of weapon in previous battles.
If every soldier in Dayuan's army had a crossbow like this, it would be terrifying to think about it.
He was even more determined to capture the man alive and seize the crossbows.
Understand how to make a crossbow.
If all the barbarian cavalry could be equipped with such sharp weapons, they would definitely be able to sweep the world.
“Be careful next time you charge, their caravan probably doesn’t carry many arrows.
First, make a feint to consume their arrows.
At the same time, use your arrows to kill their horses. Without the cover, your arrows can also kill them."
After giving the order, he launched the attack again.
