However, Ye Chen had already predicted their reaction.
Carving a jade talisman with sword intent for Wei Qi was to attract all the Wuhuan defenders to Wutan City and destroy them in one fell swoop.
How could we possibly go back and rescue them!
Just as Baturu gave the order to return for reinforcements.
The huge cavalry team began to turn around and prepare to retreat north.
The earth suddenly shook again!
This time, the direction of the vibration was not from the Wutan City in front of them, but from behind them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The low, rhythmic sound of war drums, full of murderous intent, came from behind them.
"What's going on?"
Baturu's heart was filled with alarm and he turned around suddenly.
I saw that in the direction we came from, smoke and dust had risen up in the sky without me noticing when.
The Great Xia military flags embroidered with dragon patterns were faintly visible in the smoke and dust.
A well-equipped and murderous Great Xia cavalry appeared silently on their retreat route.
Wei Qi was wearing black armor, holding a spear, and his eyes were as cold as a knife.
This was what Ye Chen had arranged before setting off. He just had to wait for the reinforcements from the royal court and the east and west cities to arrive in Wutan City.
We will never give them a chance to go back!
Even the timing of General Cheng and General Yuchi's attack on Wang Ting was strictly calculated according to Ye Chen's instructions.
Wait until the royal rescue army arrives near Wutan City before attacking.
"General! Behind us are the Daxia army!"
"When did the Daxia army get behind us?"
A deputy general screamed in shock, the blood draining from his face.
Baturu's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand and almost stopped beating!
Isn’t the main force of Daxia besieging Wutan City?
Then where did this Great Xia cavalry that suddenly appeared behind them come from?
Could it be that Daxia really had more than a million cavalrymen who had sneaked into the heartland of the Wuhuan without anyone noticing?
“No… Impossible!”
Baturu's voice was trembling.
If this is true, there are millions of Daxia troops besieging Wutan City.
Suddenly, an elite group of Daxia cavalry appeared from behind and cut off their retreat.
Baturu felt a black screen before his eyes, dizziness and the world was spinning.
His body shook violently and he almost fell off the tall warhorse.
The cavalry that came to his rescue from the royal court and the east and west cities totaled only over 600,000 men.
Facing the million-strong cavalry of Great Xia and being attacked from both sides, these more than 600,000 people would be trapped.
It is inevitable that they will be defeated and the entire army will be annihilated.
Baturu felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and a feeling of despair spread among the Wuhuan army.
It’s over, Wuhuan is going to perish!
At this moment, the morale of the army almost collapsed.
Just when Baturu was heartbroken and completely hopeless.
In front, the Great Xia cavalry that was galloping back and forth around Wutan City suddenly stopped.
They actually began to withdraw from the siege of Wutan City in an orderly manner.
The smoke and dust in the sky slowly fell as they stopped.
It was not until this moment that Baturu finally opened his eyes wide and saw the scene in front of him clearly.
There were no millions of cavalrymen. It was just an illusion created by the dust and smoke raised by a large branch dragged by the tails of the war horses.
Fake!
The million-strong army that besieged Wutan City was actually fake.
It's a trick of using horsetail to drag tree branches to confuse the enemy!
Baturu was stunned at first, and then a surge of rage and shame rushed to his head.
They were so frightened by this little trick that they almost gave up Wutan City and rushed back to the royal court to provide assistance.
What a shame and humiliation!
But after the anger, there is the ecstasy of surviving the disaster.
Baturu turned around suddenly and stared at the Daxia army that suddenly appeared behind him.
He quickly glanced at the military formation behind Wei Qi.
Judging from his many years of experience in fighting, this army has no more than 400,000 soldiers at most.
The despair in Baturu's heart was instantly replaced by confidence.
It turns out that Daxia did not have a million cavalry sneaking into the territory. The real killer move was the army of less than 400,000 in front of them!
And the reinforcements he brought from the royal court and the east and west cities totaled more than 600,000.
Together with the defenders in Wutan City, his total force amounted to one million.
A million-strong army against less than 400,000. I have the advantage and can easily defeat them.
Baturu felt that the blood in his body was boiling and a fighting spirit was burning.
Although it is too late to rush back to rescue the royal court.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as we completely annihilate the main force of Da Xia in front of us first.
Then he would lead his troops north, and even if the royal court was temporarily lost, he would be able to take it back.
Baturu suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse he was sitting on stood up with a loud neigh.
His eyes were like knives, locked on Wei Qi.
"Wei Qi, you, Great Xia, are so bold! How dare you raise an army to attack our Wuhuan for no reason?"
Baturu's voice was like a loud bell, and he asked sternly from a high position.
"Do you really think my Wuhuan Grassland is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
He was confident of victory, and his tone was filled with the pleasure of upcoming revenge!
However, facing Baturu's questioning.
Wei Qi sat on his horse as calm as water, but a hint of scorn appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, for no reason?"
He sneered, and his voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Baturu, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"You, the Wuhuan, have deployed millions of troops in the northern border of Great Xia, repeatedly harassing our border cities and killing our Great Xia citizens. How do you want to settle this account?"
