After Zhang Ye issued the order to retreat, the Xijing resistance forces, after a brief moment of surprise, immediately began to withdraw from the battlefield.
The reason for their stunned reaction was naturally because the large army that had just arrived was truly unexpected.
Judging from their location, they appear to be coming from a previous battlefield.
But where did all these people come from?
If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime and they weren't seeing it with their own eyes, they would have even suspected that it was an army of the dead.
Otherwise, there is really no way to explain it. However, whether it is the spirits of those who died in battle returning to the battlefield, or the King of Zhenbei bringing a large army from Beiliang, they are telling them one fact.
Their arrival means Xijing is saved!
Subsequently, the Xijing resistance army quickly withdrew from the battlefield, knowing in their hearts that an earth-shattering battle was bound to break out here!
On the other side, the red-haired giant shouldered the axe, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Although the enemy in front of him was fleeing, he didn't care too much. If he wanted, he could bring his entire army and storm into the city to kill them one by one.
But at this moment—
This long-distance army, however, firmly occupied his view.
The arrival of this army was far too sudden. According to previous intelligence, Da Gan had not sent a large army, and the people in Xijing were just a hastily organized resistance force.
They didn't even have the necessary weapons and armor, and were no match for their own army.
Therefore, he did not even bring all his troops with him this time, after all, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
But the sheer force of the army that had just arrived filled him with excitement.
That's right, it's not fear, it's excitement!
That was the excitement of encountering an opponent; if the enemy was no match at all, he would hardly be interested.
Only a worthy opponent can make the killing more enjoyable and the conquest more fulfilling!
The giant stroked his unkempt beard, looked at his men, and laughed loudly:
"They're coming on strong! And there are quite a few of them, more than us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant rode up on horseback and said in a deep voice, "General, shall we go and meet the enemy?"
The giant chuckled, pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, and said:
"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm stupid, Deckard?"
"We've fought this far already. If we continue to fight these aggressive people, wouldn't that just give them an advantage?"
"Withdraw! Go back and reorganize your troops. Bring more men to fight again tomorrow!"
"retreat!"
As soon as Deklee finished speaking, Tu Yuanbing immediately retreated. They moved swiftly and without any panic, orderly driving their horses backward.
Diocletian put his giant axe back behind him, glanced back at the charging Mongol cavalry, and roared:
"I'm tired of fighting today, but I'll fight you again at noon tomorrow!"
"Don't spoil my fun, hahaha!"
With a loud laugh, Deklee led his army in a rapid retreat...
——
At that moment, Bai Qi, who was leading the Mongol cavalry, heard Dai Keli's words and couldn't help but grin.
His smile was cold and terrifying.
In that gloomy face, only endless killing intent remained in his eyes.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If we're going to kill, then we should kill to our heart's content."
"You've had your fun, but I haven't even started yet..."
The next moment, Bai Qi suddenly looked up and said in a loud voice, "The enemy is trying to escape, we should pursue and annihilate them!"
"kill!"
The cavalrymen's spurs fell, and the warhorses let out a painful neigh, running even faster.
At that moment, another cavalry unit pursued them from the other end of the battlefield; it was the archer army entrusted to Huo Qubing.
In fact, at the very beginning of the decision to go to the battlefield, the entire Mongol cavalry army had already been divided into teams, with Huo Qubing in charge of leading the archers.
Seeing that Tu Yuan's army was retreating, Huo Qubing narrowed his eyes.
"If you want to escape, then go back as a ghost!"
He raised his arms and shouted, "Leave them!"
"Release the arrows!"
At the command, the sound of bowstrings being drawn rang out simultaneously!
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, arrows left the bowstring, tens of thousands of arrows were fired simultaneously, densely packed like an impenetrable spider web.
At this moment, the net of arrows was about to envelop Tu Yuan's army from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters!
This scene shocked the Xijing resistance fighters who had already retreated, their eyes filled with horror!
Zhang Ye stared wide-eyed at the thousands of arrows, his face filled with astonishment. The sight even made him think he was hallucinating!
Although he hadn't been on the battlefield many times, it didn't mean he was unaware of the power of an archer's arrows.
During the previous battle with Tu Yuan's army, he noticed that Tu Yuan's archers had an extremely long range and great power, causing his army to suffer heavy losses.
But now, the arrows fired by Qin Ze's army can travel even further!
This is simply beyond human capability!
Zhang Ye felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and suddenly thought of the Hu horses on the Beiku Grassland. Could it be that Qin Ze had relied on such a large army to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Hu horse soldiers?
In such a short period of time, the annihilation of all the Hu cavalry in the northern grasslands can only be described as something only an army like this could have accomplished.
The doubts that had been troubling him were finally resolved at this moment.
Correspondingly, Zhang Ye's heart was beating faster and faster, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Such an army will surely drive the Tu Yuan army out of Daqian's territory. If we win this battle, the Tu Yuan army will definitely return to their own country and will never dare to invade again!
