You Broke Off the Engagement with This Prince—So Why Are You Crying?

Qin Qingxue had ambitions higher than the sky. She used Li Ye to become the first female general of the Great Yuan Empire.

After returning triumphantly, she didn’t hesitate for a second before...

Chapter 74: Scared to death

When the two sides were close to each other, they took out their bows and arrows and shot at each other.

Both armies suffered losses.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to me.

The Annan cavalry drew out their long spears and prepared for close combat.

But they didn't expect that the Dayuan cavalry would take out crossbows.

Pull the trigger on them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Some people had strong bows and crossbows, while others had three-shot crossbows.

Rows of people shot arrows together, and the sound was extremely loud.

The Annan cavalry felt extremely panicked.

Holding shields and weapons, they stood in front.

A huge force surged, and the shield was actually penetrated by the arrow and pierced into the body.

The huge force sent the whole person flying out of the room and dropping him to the ground.

Before he could even get up, he was trampled into a pulp by the horse's hooves.

The Annan cavalry suffered heavy losses in an instant.

The cavalry general was more cautious from the beginning. He slowed down his pace and hid among the cavalry, which is how he escaped the disaster.

He watched his soldiers being shot off their horses in rows like harvested straw.

He quickly shouted, "We can't defeat them, retreat quickly!"

The Annan cavalry fled in all directions like crazy.

I was completely scared.

Zhao Wudi and other soldiers finished firing their crossbows and charged at the enemy.

The Annan cavalry was severely defeated and pursued for more than fifty miles.

He quickly turned his horse around and chased after Ye.

The surviving Annan cavalry were terrified, having never seen such a ferocious army.

All of them looked frightened.

"General, should we continue the pursuit?"

The deputy general asked with a look of fear on his face.

"How can we pursue them? What if there's an ambush? Let's get someone to calculate the losses in this battle."

A moment later, the men reported the damage.

"More than 2,700 people died and more than 8,000 were injured!"

In such a short war, only half of the people were killed or wounded.

The most important thing is that their morale was crushed.

When they encountered a large number of cavalry, they were afraid to move forward and did not dare to fight.

Not even half of the combat effectiveness can be exerted.

"That's true, but if we don't continue the pursuit!

What if the Marshal blames me?"

Thinking about failing to complete the task, I will be severely punished.

The cavalry commander was terrified.

I was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

"What if we catch up with him and get ambushed?

I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape next time!"

"General, I think we should continue the pursuit, but at a slower pace.

Try to expand the range of the scouts' investigation as much as possible. As long as you avoid being ambushed and stay away from the enemy, you will be fine.

At the same time, inform the Marshal of our battle situation and have them speed up their pursuit."

The deputy general had a good idea.

He was not worried about being court-martialed, nor was he willing to fight against the Dayuan army.

"Yes, it seems that this is the only way! To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Dayuan army is too strong.

We are no match at all!

Provoking the Dayuan Dynasty this time may not be a good thing."

The Annan cavalry generals were already filled with worries.

If they can't win, wait for the Dayuan Dynasty to send troops to attack them.

I really have no confidence that I can withstand it.

They could only continue the pursuit, but they had slowed down their pursuit.

Little did he know that this kind of crossbow arrows were only available in small quantities to begin with, and some had already been lost after being used many times on the battlefield.

The previous battle had almost exhausted all our resources.

The remaining crossbow arrows could no longer pose a threat to them.

As long as they are brave and fearless, they can hold back the Dayuan army.

Once again missed the best opportunity.

Zhao Wudi led the cavalry and quickly caught up with Ye's army.

Tell me about the battle situation.

"Well done! The enemy no longer dares to pursue us, we will definitely succeed!" A smile appeared on Ye's face.

"If there were more of these crossbows, I'd be able to annihilate all the enemy cavalry!"

Zhao Wudi couldn't let go of the crossbow and was reluctant to return it.

"This time the preparations were not sufficient, and the special crossbow arrows are almost used up.

Next time, I won't let them get away so easily." Ye felt a little regretful.

If I had known this earlier, I should have prepared more crossbows and arrows in advance.

Each person is equipped with a few more so they can fire continuously.

It can exert stronger combat effectiveness.

Of course, the enemy knew that Dayuan had such a sharp crossbow.

They will also come up with ways to deal with it.

Build stronger shields and armor.

There will be no chance to massacre the enemy so easily again.

"Can you give me one of these crossbows?" After seeing the power of the crossbow, Ruyue Jun also became very interested.

"No problem, Master. I'll have a bow specially made for you! It's not only powerful but also lighter."

Ye agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ruyue Jun didn't expect that she only asked for a crossbow, but Ye took it so seriously.

It is also tailor-made for you.

This thought alone touched Ruyuejun㹏 deeply.

After all, the military crossbow is still too big and too heavy. As a woman, I can't carry this thing around all day long, right?

If it could be made smaller, it could be placed in a carriage and taken out at any time.

Of course, this also means that Ye attaches great importance to himself.

The army continued to advance, and also took a detour to take away all the hidden gold, silver and valuables, and absolutely must not leave them to the Kingdom of Annan.

Commander Annan came with his army and saw two scouts riding horses and galloping towards them.

He recounted the incident of the attack.

Commander Annan was furious.

"You are such a waste! I asked you to stop the Dayuan army, but who told you to start the war?

The cavalry of Annan often fights with the northern countries and is far stronger than us.

Wouldn't it be suicidal to confront them head-on?"

The scout's face was full of grievance: "We were ambushed while chasing!

We have to fight the other side!"

The Annan commander was even more angry after hearing this: "With 10,000 cavalrymen chasing from the rear, don't they know to send scouts ahead to explore the way?

What a bunch of trash!

If you allow the Dayuan army to escape successfully, I will not forgive you."

They have been collecting more and more intelligence.

It is known that the army that broke in was only about 20,000 people.

However, they successively captured several of their cities and massacred them all.

Such huge losses have been caused to the Kingdom of Annan. If he fails to destroy it, it would be a disgrace for him as a commander.

There is no way to explain to the king.

Orders were issued to urge the army to continue the pursuit.

At the same time, scouts were sent to notify the border guards to prepare for interception.

But Zhao Wudi had already thought of this, and Zhao Wudi had already deployed cavalry along the way.

All the scouts who were delivering messages from Annan were robbed and killed along the way.

After two days of continuous travel, we finally arrived at the Annan border.

The border defenders were shocked and immediately sent troops to intercept them.

The generals really couldn't understand why the marshal had already led 100,000 troops to intercept them everywhere.

How did this Dayuan army successfully reach the border?
