Just as Yun Zheng was thinking secretly, Tie Xiong had already led his troops to march down the hillside.
The team, which should have been in chaos, was now in good order. The sword and shield soldiers on both sides protected the archers and other soldiers firmly in the middle. If they were attacked by cavalry, the shields in the hands of these sword and shield soldiers could be quickly closed to block the arrows as much as possible.
"Your Highness, this... is a bit weird!"
Zuo Ren stood beside Yun Zheng and could hardly believe his eyes.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the enemy was at the end of its rope.
But now, the enemy is still so orderly.
Judging from the situation, it seems... we are going to launch a counterattack against them?
“It’s a bit weird indeed!”
Yun Zheng nodded, "The enemy should be coming for our food supplies, or, they should be coming for me!"
"Your Highness is right."
...
...
Zuo Ren nodded in agreement. "The enemy knows that our cavalry can keep a distance from them, making it impossible for them to hit us. They are probably trying to force us to fight them, and even want to bite us before they die..."
“Not bad!”
Yun Zheng looked at Zuo Ren with a smile on his face, "It's been such a long time since we had a white-collar army!"
Zuo Ren chuckled and asked, "Then should we go down and organize the troops first, and be ready to engage the enemy at any time?"
"good!"
Yun Zheng nodded, and immediately ordered the messenger: "Tell the princess to open the gap on our side and lead the troops to distance themselves from the enemy. No attack is allowed without orders!"
"yes!"
The messenger immediately mounted his horse and went forward to deliver the message.
After receiving Yun Zheng's order, Shen Luoyan immediately ordered the cavalry on one side to open the gap.
She wanted to see what kind of waves Tiexiong could make at this time.
As Shen Luoyan let go of the gap, Tiexiong couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
The enemy opened a gap directly on this side, obviously having seen through his intention.
The enemy opened this gap simply to avoid fighting.
They would rather let them rush to the place where the food and fodder are stored than surround and stop them.
This is a complete avoidance of war!
They weren't even given a chance to tear off a piece of meat!
This Yun Zheng is actually a commander who cares about his soldiers.
If it were someone else, under such circumstances, he would have definitely ordered his men to attack them.
Speaking of which, this is the second time I have fought with Yun Zheng.
Of course, this was also their last fight.
But until now, he still didn't know what Yun Zheng looked like.
Thinking about it carefully, I still feel a little regretful.
Tiexiong rode on his tall horse, glanced at the high ground in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Keep marching!"
Since Yun Zheng wanted to avoid the fight, he would not give Yun Zheng the chance to avoid the fight.
He just didn't believe that Yun Zheng could still sit still when they suddenly attacked him!
Having made up his mind, Tiexiong continued to lead his troops forward.
Shen Luoyan did not attack, but ordered his cavalry to surround the enemy in a semi-moon formation, cutting off the enemy's retreat and completely destroying the enemy's hope of retreating back to the hillside to hold their ground.
Tiexiong knew that his retreat was cut off, but he was not panicked at all.
He never thought of retreating back to the hillside to hold his ground.
He just wanted to use these remaining soldiers to fight against Yun Zheng's large army.
Even if the entire army is wiped out, Yun Zheng will not be allowed to have an easy time!
As Tiexiong gradually approached, Zuo Ren was also ready.
Rows of sword and shield soldiers were in the front, and behind them were archers ready for battle.
As long as the enemy troops were within the shooting range, Yun Zheng only needed to give an order and a rain of arrows would fall.
Yun Zheng stared at the approaching enemy with a cold gaze, and ordered Zuo Ren in a deep voice: "Shout to them, tell them that I will give them one last chance! Put down your weapons! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Zuo Ren took the order and immediately ordered his men to start shouting.
"The prince will give you one last chance! Put down your weapons! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"
The sword and shield soldiers and archers in the front row stood up and roared.
A deafening roar resounded throughout the world.
Yun Zheng’s last warning finally worked.
Looking at the arrows aimed at them, and then looking at the cavalrymen who were ready for a surprise attack in the back and on the flanks, some of the hot-headed soldiers who were rushing forward gradually calmed down.
Not everyone is not afraid of death.
Many times, fearlessness of death is closely linked to hot-headedness.
Once they calm down, the fear of death quickly takes over them.
Some smart people fell into the mud while rushing forward.
Some people could not bear the tremendous pressure and finally ran away under the control of fear.
Seeing someone running away, Tiexiong's face changed drastically and he immediately drew his bow and drew his arrow.
The arrow was aimed at the fleeing soldier.
With Tiexiong's archery skills, as long as he releases the bowstring, the soldier will surely die.
However, at this moment, Tiexiong hesitated and did not release the bowstring for a long time.
Seeing that Tiexiong was hesitant to take action, Tiexiong's personal soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the deserter.
However, the moment he put the arrow on the bow, Tiexiong had already released the bowstring.
However, the arrow was obviously shot off target on purpose.
"General..."
The personal soldiers looked at Tiexiong with confusion, not knowing what Tiexiong meant.
Tiexiong sighed softly and held down the hand of his personal soldier, "Forget it! It's already this late, there's no need to do this anymore! We are just poor people who just want to survive..."
Perhaps it was the last good thought in Tiexiong's heart, or perhaps he knew that he was doomed to die and had come to terms with it.
Looking at the soldiers who were still marching, Tiexiong sighed again.
The enemy troops on the opposite side were ready for battle, with a large number of cavalry behind and on both wings.
Even if these few thousand of them managed to rush to the enemy front, I'm afraid only one in ten would survive.
How much casualties can the remaining few people cause to the enemy?
Maybe I was wrong from the beginning.
A general should be like Yun Zheng!
Even if you are sure of victory, you must cherish the lives of your soldiers!
Perhaps this is the reason why Yun Zheng has never been defeated?
That’s all!
Let these soldiers go!
Let yourself go too!
Tiexiong's mentality suddenly underwent a drastic change.
Tiexiong took a deep breath and shouted, "All troops, listen up! Deploy defense on the spot!"
Hearing Tiexiong's order, the people around him were stunned.
Deploy defense on the spot?
What is going on here?
Tiexiong ignored the guards around him who were also serving as messengers and shouted, "Go and pass the message!"
"yes!"
The guards came to their senses and hurriedly rode away, shouting as they ran: "All troops, listen up! Defend on the spot! All troops, listen up..."
As more and more people heard Tiexiong's order, the marching troops finally stopped.
Tiexiong quickly rode his horse to the front of the formation.
Just when everyone thought Tiexiong was going to rearrange his troops, Tiexiong rushed towards the enemy formation alone.
Finally, Tie Xiong stopped about a hundred feet away from Yun Zheng and his team's front line of defense.
"King Jingbei, do you dare to show yourself?"
Tiexiong roared loudly.
"Why not!"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and quickly walked to the front of the formation, "Tie Xiong, are you here to surrender?"
