"Could it be that we were deceived? What we just saw was their full strength.
Just to scare us away!
In fact, it was all fake. It was impossible for everyone to have a crossbow.
How much silver would it cost to make this happen?"
Qin Qingxue raised a question.
"That's possible! Ye is the best at using conspiracies and tricks, we can't fall for his tricks!
If the Dayuan Dynasty really had so many weapons, it would have launched an attack long ago.
How could they just wait to be attacked?"
Shi Wushuang also agreed with Qin Qingxue's statement.
After listening to the two people's analysis, the generals present felt a little insecure.
It seems to make some sense.
If any of their countries had such powerful strength, they would have swept the world long ago.
"How about we try it again?" The Jin Khan was eager to try.
"We can't attack directly from the front, if Master Wushuang's guess is correct.
Then there must be places where the defense is weak.
If we probe from multiple directions at the same time, we can find the weakest point of defense."
The Khitan Khan then said 䦤.
"That's right. No matter how powerful the crossbow is, infantry can't catch up with cavalry.
As long as we maintain a safe distance, the crossbow's lethality won't be unleashed."
"We'll shoot them from a distance on horseback and see who collapses first."
“Once you find a weak spot, launch an all-out attack immediately.
Just get in front of them and you win."
The barbarian general became more and more excited as he spoke, and he regained his confidence.
They thought that Dayuan was just pretending and it was impossible for them to have hundreds of thousands of crossbows.
"The people of Dayuan are so cunning that they managed to trick us all.
Next time we strike, we must retaliate with all our might and make them pay the price."
"Kill all the leaders, and the rest won't dare to resist."
The generals of the barbarian coalition were extremely angry and were about to launch another attack, waving their swords.
Everyone was extremely excited when Ye won the battle.
It is believed that the barbarian cavalry is very ferocious and has extremely strong combat capabilities.
Many people joined the battle with the determination to die.
However, he never expected that he could defeat the enemy army just by relying on crossbows.
Everyone was extremely excited and talked about the battle scene just now with great enthusiasm.
"The barbarian cavalry isn't as formidable as they're rumored to be! I've already defeated them all after firing less than two rounds."
"No matter how vicious they are, they are made of flesh and blood. If they are shot by an arrow, they will die anyway."
"Your Highness and General Zhao are truly formidable. As long as we obey their orders, we will definitely defeat the enemy."
After experiencing real battles, everyone gained confidence.
There is no fear in the face of the enemy.
Instead, they all hoped that the enemy would attack again so that they could kill the enemy and gain merit.
Because of the hundreds of thousands of laborers, some people didn’t even have time to take action before the enemy was defeated.
I regret this very much.
They can only envy others when they see them making achievements.
Very unwilling.
"The enemy won't be scared away after being repelled once, right? When can we resume our attack and give us a chance to make a contribution?"
"That's right, this is so unfair! We all fought together, but we didn't even get a chance to fight."
"If they dare to escape, Your Highness will lead us directly into the grassland and see where they can escape to."
Ye had already anticipated this victory, and there was not much joy on his face.
After confirming that the enemy had retreated, he quickly issued an order: "Everyone abandon the first line of defense and retreat immediately."
Zhao Wudi, Lei Ying and others immediately followed the order and called on their men to retreat quickly.
Many people don't understand it at all.
"We've won the battle, why are we retreating?"
"Shouldn't we take the initiative to launch an attack and destroy all the enemy forces?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow orders immediately! Anyone who hesitates will be immediately subject to military court and executed on the spot."
Zhao Wudi scolded loudly with a cold face.
He ordered his men to keep a close watch on the situation and to kill immediately anyone who disobeyed his orders.
Since these people have had relatively short training time, they are not yet able to follow orders like in the military and have the awareness of strictly obeying orders.
Strict military orders must be used to ensure that everyone complies.
Even if it means death, we must move forward and never take a single step back.
After being warned, no one dared to complain anymore.
Quickly retreat as instructed.
Ye pretended to escape immediately after winning the battle.
Xiao Cui was a little confused.
While retreating, he asked puzzledly: "Didn't we win the battle? Why are we retreating?"
Ye explained with a smile: "The enemy will definitely not accept the loss and will probably launch a second round of attack.
But this time the enemy will definitely be cautious and will first launch a feint attack from the front to attract our attention while minimizing casualties as much as possible.
Their attacking point will change to other directions.
Find ways to test where our defenses are weak.
Once they discover us, they will go all out to attack our weaknesses."
Xiao Cui was even more puzzled: "We have hundreds of thousands of people with crossbows, and we have General Zhao and his men in command.
There shouldn’t be any weaknesses at all…”
"If they don't have any weaknesses, then create them! Our goal isn't to repel the enemy, but to annihilate them by any means necessary.
If we don't show weakness to them, how can we lead them into an encirclement?"
Ye explained with a smile.
Xiao Cui suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! As long as we make the enemy think we can't hold out, they'll attack with all their might."
When the time comes, we can lure them into the encirclement and annihilate them all."
"You're absolutely right. It seems like you've made a lot of progress following me!"
Ye praised him.
Xiao Chui's cheeks flushed. "I only know how to serve His Highness. I don't understand how to lead troops in battle."
Ye did not continue chatting with Xiao Cui.
Ask someone to call Zhao Wudi, Lei Ying and Princess Ruyue over and assign them tasks.
"Listen up, the enemy won't attack for the second time. We must pretend to be unable to hold on, pretend to be defeated and retreat..."
Ye used a wooden stick to draw a simple map on the ground.
“There are a lot of bricks piled up here, and in some places I had trenches dug.
Lead the enemy to this place and then surround them..."
Ye assigned tasks to each person.
Zhao Wudi was extremely shocked by what he saw.
By taking advantage of limited terrain and cover, Jubo can perform a sneaky substitution.
First, lure the enemy into deep territory alone, and then send out the two wings to quietly surround them.
They actually tried to use infantry to encircle the cavalry. This was the first time someone used such a bold tactic.
Only then did I realize that the bricks were stored with special care, specifically to block the enemy's sight.
"Could it be that Your Highness had already anticipated this battle and planned it from the very beginning?"
When Zhao Wudi thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder all over.
Suddenly, I felt that Ye was really scary. He had planned everything out for himself.
