Ye thought about it for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "This is really interesting!"
"Could it be that the barbarians suffered a defeat and they, as allies, want to get back at us?" Lei Zhan asked.
"That's impossible! Their relationship isn't that good yet!
If they knew that the barbarians had suffered losses and their strength had been damaged.
It's good enough that you don't take advantage of others' misfortune!"
Zhao Wudi shook his head and directly rejected Lei Zhan's guess.
Lei Ying's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the Jin Kingdom didn't know about the Barbarian Army's defeat?
After they learned about the barbarian invasion, they quickly followed suit and came to take advantage."
Ye nodded slightly: "I think your statement is the most reliable.
After the barbarians were defeated, they were also afraid of being spied on by their allies.
So I just kept doing it without reminding them.
The Khitans thought the barbarian army was still looting, so they rushed all the way here without stopping."
"Then should we give up the encirclement and suppression of the barbarian troops in the territory and repel them first?" Zhao Wudi suddenly felt a headache.
The barbarian troops that entered the country to loot supplies were extremely dangerous.
They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil.
Although a large number of troops have been sent to protect the people.
But those are infantry and can only perform fixed defense.
If these cavalrymen ran to other places, they would not be caught up at all.
If we send cavalry to hunt them down, how will the coalition forces of the Jin Dynasty deal with them?
Ye said in a deep voice, "We must continue to encircle and suppress the barbarian cavalry. We cannot let them harm the Qi people."
"How do we deal with the armies of Xiguo and Khitan?"
"Need I say more? We've already repelled the biggest threat!
Inform all the garrisons in my capacity and ask them to send cavalry to tie down the cavalry of the Tang and Khitan.
We cannot allow them to go deep into the interior and plunder the people.
It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with the armies of these small countries.
We're not trying to force them to fight, we just need to delay them until we return," said Ye.
Zhao Wudi immediately agreed: "Your Highness is right! When we were besieged by the barbarian army, none of the garrisons sent troops to support us.
It’s time for them to contribute.”
Ye then said to Lei Ying, "I will leave you another 20,000 cavalrymen!
Provide support everywhere depending on the situation, but be sure not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
It's best to pretend you're no match for them.
Once we have dealt with the barbarian troops inland, we will launch a campaign of encirclement and annihilation!"
"I understand! I will never let Your Highness down!"
With these 20,000 cavalry, Thunder Eagle can show its prowess again.
A strong desire to fight erupted instantly, and the whole person was extremely excited.
"Time waits for no one, let's set off immediately!"
After Ye finished making the arrangements, he and Zhao Wudi immediately led their troops to set off.
Since the war broke out, Mr. Xiao has been staying in the village and has rarely been seen.
His mission was only to protect Ye's safety. As long as Ye was not in danger, he would never take action.
But this time when fighting outside, Mr. Xiao still stayed by Ye's side.
Even though the possibility of danger is extremely small, Mr. Xiao dare not relax at all.
Little did Ye Gen know that the barbarian army who were looting and killing everywhere were also very depressed at this moment.
They attacked villages in different places separately. After finally finding a village, they were met with a dense rain of arrows as soon as they rushed to the village entrance.
Caught completely off guard, dozens of people were shot and killed.
Frightened, he immediately retreated and kept his distance.
In the past, when they looted the village, no one could resist.
Robbing money and killing people at will.
But he never expected that this time the expedition would fail. When did the village have armed forces?
Unconvinced, they quickly formed a formation and rushed into the village.
But then he suffered an even greater blow.
They can block ordinary crossbow arrows, but there are also large crossbow arrows mixed in.
The lethality is extremely powerful!
Before they even entered the village, they were already badly injured.
Finally, we saw that the people who were ambushing the village were actually a large number of regular troops.
They were wearing fine armor and each had a crossbow in his hand.
Especially the dozens of crossbow carts made them terrified.
Many more soldiers appeared on the roof, holding crossbows and pulling the triggers from above.
Only then did they realize that Dayuan had been prepared and had set a trap for them in the village.
They had no choice but to retreat and look for other targets.
But after walking through a few places, we were met with intensive attacks as soon as we entered the village.
There were also many logs placed on the road in the village to block the horses.
There's no way he can get in!
If we fight dismounted, we will definitely suffer a greater disadvantage.
After searching for a whole day and finding several villages, they almost defeated the barbarian army into depression.
When did Dayuan become a nation of soldiers?
That’s it. How are we going to fight wars in the future?
If we cannot defeat the enemy by dividing our forces, we can only find our own army and unite them.
After gathering together, their confidence suddenly increased greatly.
But there were only a few villages, and a round of charge rushed in.
All the people in the village were slaughtered.
The barbarian army looked for their target again without hesitation.
But all their actions were under the eyes of the scouts.
Thunder Eagle has trained a large number of personnel and has already grasped all the surrounding situations clearly.
Report all enemy movements to Ye.
In order to eliminate all enemy forces as quickly as possible, Ye and Zhao Wudi acted separately, each leading tens of thousands of troops.
Under the guidance of the scout, we quickly find a group of barbarian soldiers.
There were thousands of people gathering not far from the village, preparing to launch a forceful attack.
He attacked without hesitation, outnumbering the enemy force by several times, and there was no need to hide at all.
Surrounded from all sides.
The enemy realized that something was wrong and quickly fled.
But this time the war horses' mobility was no longer effective, and the war horses on Dayuan's side were no worse than theirs.
Moreover, as long as they were within the range of the crossbows, they had no chance of escape.
Quickly surround the enemy and annihilate them all.
Immediately rush to the next target.
…
The news of the barbarian invasion quickly spread to the capital.
Xuantian was very angry when he received the memorial.
Not long after the two sides had concluded their peace talks, they attacked again.
Jian Qi simply doesn't take Dayuan seriously.
Immediately summon all ministers to discuss this matter.
The ministers were also very troubled because the barbarian army was really difficult to deal with.
At best, we can drive it away, but we cannot eliminate it.
The war continued unabated, and the national treasury was empty, with no money even available for disaster relief.
A minister said: "Your Highness, the barbarians send people to plunder the Qi clan almost every year.
Unable to bear the harassment, the people of the Zhu clan at the border have moved inland.
Even if they invade, they won't go too deep.
If a large army is dispatched, the cost will be too great.
It would be better to let officials from all over the country help the Zhou family to hide first.
Let the local troops drive out the enemy.
It would cost less this way.”
The pro-war officials were furious when they heard this and immediately refuted it: "If we don't even fight back against the enemy invasion, won't we be encouraging their arrogance?
Where is the prestige of our Dayuan Dynasty?"
