The sound of gongs could be heard, but the people in front were already blood-thirsty.
The sound had long since drowned out the sound of the gong, and no one could hear it.
Li Ye had long guessed that after sending out the signal, the enemy would surely know they would be ambushed and would immediately withdraw their troops.
At this signal, fireworks sounded strangely, and many people lit firecrackers and threw them into the crowd of enemy troops.
The shouts and firecrackers were a mess, and even the rhythm of the attack was completely disrupted.
The special firecrackers were extremely powerful, sending the barbarian soldiers dodging everywhere.
Li Ye smiled happily when he saw this.
"Hahaha, even if we can't kill the Barbarian King this time, we can at least piss him off half to death."
The barbarian king was extremely anxious. When he heard the sound of firecrackers, he became even more certain that there was an ambush.
This method was used to cover up the sound of the horn so that the soldiers could not hear the signal.
At this moment, the situation has become urgent for him.
He shouted to his men with all his might, "Get on your horses with me, rush over and call everyone over!
Retreat, everyone retreat immediately!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him.
Turning his head to look, he was terrified.
Zhao Wudi and his troops had been holding their breath for a long time. When they heard the signal fireworks, they immediately rushed over on horseback.
At a glance, I saw the barbarian army gathering.
Zhao Wudi led the army and rushed forward first.
"Everyone, listen up! Crossbows ready! We must destroy the cavalry in front of us at all costs."
The two sides were not far apart, and the barbarian army was already in a dilemma.
They had only a little over 10,000 troops capable of fighting, while the enemy had over 30,000.
And seeing that everyone was holding a crossbow made the barbarian king even more frightened.
If they turn and flee, they can indeed escape.
This means that the 100,000 war horses and the 100,000 troops attacking the city have completely fallen into Dayuan's hands.
He was unwilling to accept this, as these troops were their elite.
If all the war horses fell into Dayuan's hands, it would mean that an elite cavalry of more than 100,000 people would be formed soon.
Fighting on the steppes they would lose all their advantages.
There was no time to think too much, the Dayuan cavalry was almost in front of them.
The barbarian king knew that he could not save the siege soldiers.
If they stayed, not even these ten thousand people would be able to escape.
He shouted with all his might, "Retreat!"
Abandon all the troops and run away.
My teeth are about to break.
"Li Ye, the King will never forgive you! I swear I would not be a human being if I don't kill you."
Zhao Wudi led his men in pursuit, shooting the cavalry with crossbows.
Seeing that the other party was determined to escape, Zhao Wudi knew that if he continued to chase him, he would be lured away.
Two thousand cavalrymen were left behind to control all the war horses.
Five thousand men were sent to continue the pursuit to prevent them from making a surprise attack.
Then he led the remaining cavalry to charge towards the barbarian army that was attacking the city.
Without their warhorses, the barbarian army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they had no power to resist the cavalry.
First, four rounds of crossbow arrows were fired, and then the cavalry rushed into the crowd fiercely, knocking away all the people who blocked their way.
Every time the soldier swings his sword, he takes away an enemy.
After a moment, he rushed out of the crowd, turned his horse's head and rushed into another group of enemies.
In an instant, the enemy's formation was in chaos.
The barbarian soldiers were attacked from both sides, and the army in the city also began to fight back fiercely.
Let them have no escape.
They can only unite together and change from an offensive to a defensive formation.
But without the general's command, the army became extremely chaotic.
People were so crowded that they couldn't speak, and there was no room to even brandish weapons.
Without the Dayuan soldiers taking action, they had already started trampling on each other.
"Shoot!" Li Ye didn't want anyone to fight them head-on.
When they are about to die, they can often exert power beyond imagination.
Use a crossbow to shoot the enemy from a distance.
The scene was like a slaughterhouse.
After being surrounded, the enemy had no power to resist.
Wrapped in oily cloth, ejaculated.
Originally it could be used to protect against flammable items that have been placed on the shield.
The Shaomo barbarian soldiers screamed in pain.
Even if someone wanted to surrender, Li Ye would ignore them.
Kill them all without leaving a single one.
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Leaving these people behind will only become a hidden danger.
Rather than letting them waste food, we even send people to guard it.
It’s better to solve it as soon as possible.
The entire battlefield has become a living hell, and there is no way to win or escape.
It took more than an hour to kill more than 100,000 people.
The soldiers who participated in the battle were already exhausted and out of breath.
Covered in blood.
But they were very excited.
After such a great victory, we finally got our revenge.
The key is to kill more enemy soldiers and gain merit, so rewards are essential.
Zhao Wudi came before Li Ye, his face full of excitement: "Hello, Your Highness, we have made a fortune this time. In total, we have killed more than 130,000 enemy soldiers and seized more than 100,000 war horses.
Now we don't have to worry about lack of cavalry anymore."
"Well done! You're back just in time. The surprise attack was very well planned. To be honest, I was really worried that you would take most of the army to pursue the fleeing troops."
Zhao Wudi smiled and replied, "After all, I'm a seasoned warrior and know exactly what to do to maximize my benefits."
“Yes, with you leading the cavalry, I don’t have to worry at all.
Quickly distribute the war horses and select the best soldiers for training.
There might even be a counterattack from the enemy."
"yes!"
Zhao Wudi agreed.
The next day, he called for men and incorporated them into the cavalry.
Although there were not enough war horses at the moment, they selected some men who were suitable for riding and took turns letting them practice riding and learn cavalry tactics.
These people had already mastered cavalry combat skills and could become cavalry at any time as long as they had war horses.
Zhao Wudi now controls more than 130,000 cavalry.
And they are all excellent war horses on the grassland.
Even if the soldiers' training time is too short, with the support of a large number of crossbows, they can still fight even if they encounter the elite barbarian army.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield, collect weapons, and take off all armor.
Keep everything you can use.
In those days, even clothes stripped from the dead were precious.
They dug a large pit and began to burn the bodies.
As the weather is getting warmer, if it is not dealt with quickly, a plague will easily break out.
The barbarian king led his men and ran for a long distance. Only when the pursuers had left did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially after losing morale, there is no chance of counterattack.
While being chased, many people were shot to death by crossbows.
Everyone was still in shock.
“I didn’t expect that the Sixth Prince of Dayuan was so cunning and actually hid so many troops behind the scenes.
If it's a head-on battle, we're not afraid at all!"
"What's the point of saying these things! Immediately notify all troops to retreat."
The barbarian king was frightened by the defeat.
They lost more than 100,000 troops at once, and their national strength dropped sharply.
We must find ways to stabilize the people's hearts and not let the enemy take advantage of the situation.
