"While there's no chance of winning by fighting all the enemy forces, we can find a way to scare them off.
So that they dare not pursue at will!"
Ye pointed at the map and continued to analyze:
"According to the information we have received so far, Annan's powerful troops have withdrawn and begun to encircle us.
Fifty thousand troops were left to guard the border to prevent us from escaping.
The remaining 100,000 troops were divided into five groups, each searching for our whereabouts.
As long as we act quickly, we can wipe out an enemy army at lightning speed.
They absolutely dare not continue to divide their troops!
As long as the enemy regroups, our chances of a safe retreat will increase many times over."
Zhao Wudi still had no confidence: "How can your highness's plan be so easy to achieve?
Twenty thousand against twenty thousand, it is impossible to annihilate them all in a short period of time.
As long as there is a slight delay, the rest of the enemy's troops will immediately come to support.
Once surrounded by the enemy, there is no possibility of escape."
Zhuan Ye smiled mysteriously: "Of course! How can the prince go to war without preparation?
Have your scouts locate the nearest enemy unit.
We launch a counterattack!
Let me show you the secret weapon that Prince Yu has prepared!"
Zhao Wudi was still worried: "Your Highness, you must make it clear how you plan to fight.
Your Highness must not be allowed to take any risks!"
Li Ye smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Prince Xu hasn't lived enough, how could he possibly want to die?
Give the order to prepare for battle immediately!
Although facing the enemy head-on would cause considerable damage to the army, there is nothing we can do about it."
Ye sighed deeply, a sad look on his face.
"Since we're on the battlefield, there will be casualties! Even with the most thorough preparations, accidents can still happen.
I hope this battle can be won smoothly, with fewer casualties among our soldiers."
Ruyue Junyu stood beside Yuye and said comfortingly, "I have followed my father into battle many times and have encountered such critical moments before.
As long as we work together, we will be able to defeat the enemy and return safely."
Ye looked at Zhao Wudi with a smile on his face: "Even Ruyue Junyu said so, why don't you trust me?"
"Well then, I'll get ready right away!"
Zhao Wudi finally made up his mind to trust Ye this time.
Soon an Annan army was found.
This army moved extremely quickly and was obviously the elite troops of Annan.
After receiving the news, Wang Ye decided to set up an ambush in front of the enemy and catch them off guard.
When they heard about the war, no one was afraid.
Instead, everyone had an excited look on their faces.
Especially the direct army led by Ye.
Others mocked them as old, weak and disabled soldiers, but they had undergone very special training during this period.
Obtained an extremely powerful weapon.
I've been looking for an opportunity to try it for a long time.
Last time, they only wiped out 3,000 enemy troops, and they didn't use their full strength at all.
This time the enemy numbers are equal, so we can have a good fight.
"Check the crossbow immediately. We can't let anything go wrong at this critical moment!"
The leading general gave orders in a low voice.
In order for the soldiers to increase the force of the crossbow to the maximum, three people had to string it together.
The power of such a crossbow is so great that it can easily penetrate even an enemy wearing heavy armor.
There are not only single-shot crossbows, but also crossbows that can fire three arrows at a time.
Each crossbow can fire three crossbow bolts at a time.
Just these 5,000 soldiers taking turns shooting arrows could cause huge casualties to the enemy.
When the army arrived at the ambush site, Ye said to Zhao Wudi, "I will lead 5,000 troops as bait. After the enemy launches a full-scale attack, you will lead 10,000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy from behind.
You must remember that you must wait until the enemy has suffered a blow and is beginning to retreat before launching a fierce attack.
If we attack too early, the enemy will have a chance to form a defensive formation."
"Understood. Your Highness and Junyu must take good care of yourselves and never put yourselves in danger."
Zhao Wudi knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately led the cavalry away and found a place to hide.
We must make the enemy think that the Dayuan army is small in number and can be easily destroyed.
Only in this way can we launch an all-out attack without any scruples.
Ye then said to Ruyue Jun, "Don't you want to fight? I'll give you 5,000 troops as a vanguard and bait!
You must try your best to resist the enemy and hold out for at least half a quarter of an hour.
We must insist on launching an attack on all 20,000 enemy troops.
Do you dare to take on this important task?"
Ruyue Jun smiled casually: "Didn't I follow you out just to wait for this day?
I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! ”
"Lin Yue, you must protect Ru Yuejun's safety!" Ye said.
"No, Lin Yue must protect your safety!" Ru Yuejun㹏 quickly objected.
She always thought that Ye didn't know martial arts and she absolutely couldn't let the guards leave.
"I can only feel at ease if I let Lin Yue follow and protect you. I'll be ambushing you from behind, so what is there to worry about?
"When the war breaks out, it won't be too late for Lin Yue to retreat and protect me!" Ye scolded.
"Ruyuejun, just do as His Highness orders!" Linyue also spoke up to persuade.
Ruyuejun㹏 thought about it for a moment and did not refuse.
Nodded in agreement.
Ye specifically chose a location close to the slope and let Ruyue Jun lead 5,000 troops to act as bait.
He led his own army and hid behind the slope.
Only after all the enemy troops have attacked can the full power of the crossbow be unleashed.
Soon the enemy appeared not far away, and Ruyue Jun㹏 led the army to pretend to be discovered by the enemy.
He turned around and ran away in great panic.
The enemy troops who were desperately searching were fooled. The sharp-eyed soldiers shouted loudly: "Look, there are Dayuan's troops ahead.
Hurry up and catch up with them, don't let them get away!"
The leading general was ecstatic and immediately led his troops to follow.
The scouts were even more delighted when they saw the number of Dayuan’s troops.
Hurry back to report to the general.
"General Cavalry, the Dayuan army ahead only has 5,000 men! And they are all infantry. It looks like they have been running for a long time and are extremely exhausted.
We were so scared that we didn’t dare to fight and were just running away.”
"Cavalry, charge forward and stop them! Don't let anyone escape.
Listen carefully, as long as we destroy these 5,000 Dayuan troops, we will have established a great victory!"
The Annan generals were even imagining the scene of being rewarded.
At least he would be promoted to a higher rank, not to mention rewards of gold and silver.
Wealth and glory are right before your eyes, and you must not let it go.
What's more, this is a battle taking place in Annan, and other armies are not too far away.
I'll be here soon as I get the news.
No matter how you look at it, you won't be defeated.
He immediately led the army to rush over.
Even scouts were sent among the cavalry to rush to the front to intercept.
After all, the number of cavalry in Annan is very small.
The 20,000-man army was equipped with 500 cavalry.
Give them the services of scouts to facilitate searches.
In order to win quickly, cavalry was also used from the beginning.
