Li Ye didn't notice the change in Zhao Wudi's expression and continued to explain, "Although we are 70% to 80% sure of luring the enemy into the encirclement.
This is because we are all new recruits and the infantry moves relatively slowly.
If the enemy discovers you, they will most likely turn around and retreat.
If the enemy wanted to escape before the encirclement was successfully completed, there was no way to stop them.
So at this time, Zhao Wudi's cavalry will be very important.
You must stop the enemy at all costs and cooperate with the infantry to reduce the artificial difficulties in the encirclement.
As soon as the encirclement is successful, I will order the troops to withdraw.
You all retreat immediately, everyone shoot arrows together, and use crossbows to destroy the enemy army."
Zhao Wudi quickly stopped speculating and said seriously:
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Just leave this matter to me."
"Once the enemy realizes the trap, they will launch a desperate attack at all costs, trying to tear open a hole and escape.
Even if we have enough crossbows, we may still be rushed by the enemy without fear of death.
At this time, Lei Ying, Lei Zhan and Ruyue, you must lead your troops to stop the enemy's attack.
We must not allow our army to be dispersed."
Li Ye said with an extremely solemn expression.
After all, the vast majority of his men were not real soldiers and had not been baptized by the battlefield.
Once the injury occurs, there is a possibility of psychological breakdown.
As a result, many people left the team and fled in all directions.
Under no circumstances should this situation be allowed to happen.
After hearing this, several people solemnly agreed in unison: "Understood! We will definitely stop the enemy!"
"Go back and prepare immediately, and tell all soldiers to strictly obey orders.
When ordered to retreat, they must retreat; no lingering battles are allowed.
When they are asked to fight to the death, no one is allowed to take a step back.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!
If anyone dares to disobey orders, do not show mercy.
If we fail, there is no way to recover!"
"yes!"
Several people agreed in unison, immediately returned to the army, and nervously issued the final combat orders.
Not long after, the barbarian coalition forces regrouped and launched an attack again.
It was exactly the same as what Li Ye said.
The enemy army launched a frontal attack, shouting loudly, but the force of the attack was much weaker.
Seeing this, the soldiers immediately turned their horses around and used arrows to attack from a distance.
Soon the enemy army discovered that something was wrong.
Suddenly, I discovered that the number of people who were originally arranged in an orderly manner had decreased by more than 90%.
Only a few people took crossbows and shot arrows at them.
After shooting the arrow, he turned and ran away.
The Barbarian general reacted immediately and shouted, "Don't be afraid, the Dayuan people have been taking advantage of the power of the tiger and are already running away.
Follow me quickly and don’t let them escape.”
The deputy general next to him was a little worried and quickly tried to persuade him, "General, our order is to launch a feint attack to attract the attention of the Dayuan army.
Although the Dayuan army is retreating, perhaps this is another trap to lure us into it.
Otherwise, you should report to the king first and follow his instructions."
The general in charge of the attack yelled angrily, "You are blind! The Dayuan army responsible for resisting has retreated, and this is the opportunity to launch an attack.
What's more, even if our mission is just a feint attack, how can we attract their attention if most of the people have run away?
Follow me, just keep a safe distance!
That way you won’t be fooled.”
The deputy general also thought it made sense.
As long as they don't charge desperately, the Dayuan infantry will not be able to pose a threat to them.
However, to be on the safe side, he sent someone to inform the king of the news while chasing him.
The other three armies attacked from the flanks and rear.
Still encountered the crossbow defense of the Dayuan army.
They soon discovered that the density of the crossbow arrows was much reduced this time, and the interval between two rounds of archery was also longer.
Let the attacking generals feel very surprised.
I thought I had discovered the true strength of the Dayuan army.
"Khan and the King were right! Dayuan doesn't have that many weapons.
Just now, they just gathered all the weapons together and launched a sudden attack to scare us away.
In fact, there were not enough crossbows and arrows to defend the two wings and the rear."
"Young men, follow me! I will kill anyone who dares to resist me."
"Humph, they're just a bunch of improvised troops. They won't have much fighting power if we rush in front of them."
"You dare to kill so many of our brothers with a crossbow? I won't forgive you."
The soldiers of the Barbarian Alliance roared and charged again.
At the same time, they also retaliated with arrows.
Guo found that the Dayuan army in front of him was completely vulnerable, so he fired two rounds of crossbow arrows and quickly fled and retreated.
Although some people still used crossbows to intercept them, the number of crossbows was even rarer.
The cavalry moved flexibly and easily avoided the crossbow attack.
As soon as they were out of the crossbow's range, they immediately turned their horses around and retreated backwards.
Constantly consume crossbow arrows.
Make attempts again and again, looking for opportunities to rush forward.
The Dayuan army's defense line kept shrinking and was even on the verge of collapse.
This made the Barbarian Alliance cavalry even more excited, and victory seemed within sight.
However, in order to reduce casualties, they did not rush to launch an all-out attack.
Try to consume crossbow arrows.
If all the crossbow arrows are used up, all the Dayuan soldiers will become lambs to be slaughtered and can be easily eliminated.
The barbarian king soon received news from his soldiers.
"The Dayuan army is retreating?" The barbarian king looked at Wushuang.
Xinxi said: "You guessed right, the Dayuan army's first round of defense was to scare us.
It is estimated that most of the crossbow arrows have been used up and they are retreating.
Seeing that the place they are retreating to is a border city, it is really a good plan."
Shi Wushuang also regained his confidence, his face full of pride.
"I know the Dayuan Dynasty and Li Ye too well! They simply don't have the ability to build so many crossbows.
In addition, Li Ye is very cunning and is very good at deceiving his opponents.
But now that I've been seen through, there's no need to be polite.
Immediately attack with all your strength and defeat them.
Another thing is that Li Ye must not be allowed to escape.
We must catch him first!"
"Understood. I'll pass the order down right away! Without their crossbows, these people are no better than lambs. They're no match for my cavalry."
The barbarian king Ao said.
Qin Qingxue's face was also filled with joy: "As long as we can deal with Li Ye, no one in the Dayuan Dynasty can be our opponent."
Shi Wushuang snorted coldly: "Li Ye, ah Li Ye, you have finally fallen into my hands. I will make you suffer a fate worse than death and regret going against me."
"We absolutely cannot let him return alive this time! After all, if we capture him, it will show that we have joined forces with the barbarians."
Qin Qingxue reminded.
