At this time, the power of the powerful crossbow is fully exerted.

Even the enemy cavalry shields were easily shot through.

Then penetrate the enemy's body.

The blocked shot was deflected by the huge force and continued to hit the enemy's body.

Hundreds of cavalrymen were shot dead in an instant.

After firing the crossbow arrows, the soldiers quickly retreated and then handed it over to the second row.

Like harvesting rice, the Annan soldiers fell in rows.

There is no ability to resist.

Upon seeing this, the generals of Annan felt a chill in their hearts.

He had never seen such a powerful crossbow before. It was so powerful.

Ordinary shields and armor are like paper, and can be easily shot through even if they are placed in front of you.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded.

The key point is that he didn't know how many ambushes were hidden at the bottom of the slope.

I was frightened by the fierce attack.

"Retreat! Form a defensive formation and stop attacking!"

Act decisively and prepare for defense.

If they continue to attack Xiadian, I'm afraid all of them will be killed soon.

We must first find out the number of Dayuan's ambush troops before making any plans.

Princess Ruyue took this opportunity to lead the soldiers away from the battlefield.

Run as fast as you can behind the slope.

The soldiers were almost exhausted and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Soldiers armed with crossbows rushed forward and shot the enemy.

After a brief period of panic and heavy casualties, the Annan army hastily formed a defensive formation.

With a large number of shields blocking the front, the lethality of the crossbows was greatly affected.

At the same time, the Annan generals also saw clearly the number of ambush troops.

"They only have 10,000 soldiers. Don't be afraid! Hold your shields in front of you and charge forward!

As long as we rush towards them, we can destroy the Dayuan army.

Archers, shoot hard!

Don't worry, our reinforcements will be here soon!"

The Annan generals kept boosting the morale of their men.

Continue to launch a fierce attack.

His army suffered heavy losses, if he could not achieve any merit.

After this battle, not only will I not be rewarded, I'm afraid I will be severely punished.

Despite having a huge advantage, they still suffered such heavy casualties.

Marshal Annan will never let him go easily.

Even if it means risking his life, he must win back the game and destroy all the Dayuan troops in front of him.

Just after giving the order, he felt the ground tremble slightly.

The sound of dense horse hooves could be heard behind him.

The Annan soldiers looked at him from behind in confusion.

They didn't know until they saw it. The scene before them scared them all.

Unexpectedly, countless cavalry appeared and surrounded them from behind.

The morale that had just been aroused dissipated in an instant.

With so many cavalrymen attacking from behind, they didn't even have a chance to change their formation to resist.

An Nan general showed an expression of extreme panic on his face.

His eyes were filled with despair.

He never expected that the Dayuan army had so many cavalrymen and wanted to annihilate them all.

He even wanted to use the lives of 5,000 soldiers as bait and set two traps in succession.

First, launch a surprise attack with a crossbow, killing and wounding a large number of people.

Wait until he puts all his attention on dealing with the crossbow.

The real killer move comes from behind.

The Annan generals' minds went blank and they had no idea how to respond.

There was only one thought: "It's over!"

Zhao Wudi led his cavalry into the enemy camp and quickly defeated the enemy.

There are crossbows in front and cavalry behind.

The Annan army of less than 20,000 was simply unable to resist.

It only took a moment to kill them all.

It had not been more than a quarter of an hour since the battle began.

Li Ye had no time to clean up the battlefield and immediately ordered a retreat!

Just a quick check and put the wounded soldiers on the carriage.

Bandage while retreating.

As for the dead soldiers, they can only stay on the battlefield.

Li Ye witnessed the cruelty of war for the first time, and felt extremely heavy.

He kept muttering to himself, "Don't worry, sooner or later I will lead the army to destroy the Kingdom of Annan.

I will never let you die in a foreign land forever."

Princess Ruyue looked extremely sad, and she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.

As a prince, he doesn't care so much about the lives of low-level soldiers.

I'm afraid other generals in the court are not capable of doing this.

Princess Ruyue grabbed Li Ye's hand and comforted him softly, "As long as there is a war, there will naturally be casualties.

We used the same number of troops and suffered minimal casualties to completely wipe out the enemy. This was already a rare and great victory.

If it weren't for your brilliant command, I'm afraid we would have suffered far greater casualties if we had broken out."

Li Ye felt the soft and boneless hands of Princess Ruyue, and could even smell the fragrance on her body.

I feel a lot calmer!

Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I can handle it!

I know it's pure wishful thinking to expect no casualties among soldiers.

I will try my best to adapt!"

All the soldiers had great respect and admiration for Li Ye at this moment.

The casualties were tallied, and it was found that 20,000 enemies were completely wiped out at the cost of 2,000 casualties.

Such a record is simply unheard of.

You have to know that they are fighting in another country under extremely dangerous conditions.

To be able to achieve such an impressive achievement, he is definitely a military god.

I am full of strong confidence in leaving Annan.

After this battle, the soldiers' morale was not only not affected, but it reached its peak.

Zhao Wudi was riding on a horse. After winning the battle, his whole mentality changed drastically.

"How did His Highness make such a powerful crossbow? It's even more destructive than military crossbows!

If this weapon could be equipped to the entire army, we would no longer have to fear the enemy in the north."

"Although it is powerful, it is also difficult to build and very expensive.

It is difficult to equip the entire army in a short period of time.

But there is no problem in equipping elite troops!

Build an elite division that can kill enemy forces several times larger than your own.

We can defeat all enemy countries at the lowest cost."

Li Ye said with a smile.

Zhao Wudi deeply believed this.

Their army is not entirely elite, so they must annihilate the enemy at the lowest cost.

If you use the same method to train an elite division.

It's unimaginable that he can exert his combat effectiveness.

"Since Your Highness does not possess such talent, you should assist His Majesty in conquering the world!"

Zhao Wudi is very optimistic about Li Ye at this moment.

If the Dayuan Dynasty allowed Li Ye to inherit the throne, it would definitely become extremely powerful.

In particular, Li Ye was very caring towards the lower-level soldiers.

If such a person becomes emperor, he will definitely love the people like his own children.

"Come on, this battle alone nearly cost me my life!

I'm still suited to business, making good money and living a stable life." Li Ye laughed and didn't respond.

Now all the ministers in the court support the crown prince, and the generals support the third prince.

Once he had the idea of ​​competing for the throne, he would be immediately suppressed by the two forces with all his strength.
