"No, it's not that easy for hundreds of thousands of people to leave at once.
We'll launch a surprise attack at night.
Catch them off guard!"
The Barbarian King said this with great confidence.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Based on our understanding, it's impossible for them to escape at the slightest hint of news.
At most, it’s just a matter of relocating some ordinary people.”
"This time we must take over the land and capture Li Ye. We must make him return all the money he stole."
Zhao Wudi quickly received news that a team of 2,000 enemy cavalrymen were rushing towards the highway.
"Too little force to try to intercept us? Aren't you looking down on us?"
Zhao Wudi sneered.
The deputy general smiled and said, "It's obvious that the enemy thought those leaving in the carriages were ordinary people.
This is actually our opportunity.
It would be better to set a trap and let them resist for a while, and then we can launch a surprise attack from behind.
If we come out to intercept them first, the enemy will definitely flee when they see the situation is bad."
Zhao Wudi nodded in agreement: "Your idea is not bad. His Highness has said that if we don't fight, we must destroy as many enemy troops as possible.
Even if you repel them, they will come back again, which is useless.
Immediately send someone to contact those who have retreated and ask them to stay and help attract the enemy."
Zhao Wudi led people to find a hiding place.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of enemy cavalry rushed over quickly.
The barbarian generals were very excited to see the convoy.
Most of the cars have carports, and in order to accommodate more people, there are even a few people standing outside.
Some people even sat on the roof of the carriage.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a fleeing group.
"It's too much, arrest them all and don't let any of them go.
These are the best slaves.”
After hearing the order, the barbarian cavalry was like a shot of chicken blood.
Let out an excited cry and charge forward with all your strength.
The people in the carriage also discovered the pursuers, pretended to be very panicked, and began to run away desperately.
But how could a carriage carrying so many people possibly outrun the cavalry? The distance between them was getting closer and closer.
It won't be long before they're caught up.
The convoy could only stop and form a defensive formation.
The barbarian cavalry didn't care at all, they had seen this situation many times.
They simply wanted to rely on the carriage to resist their charge and continue to resist.
As long as they rush forward and kill a few people, the others will surrender obediently.
Little did they know that in the back of the carriage, everyone inside was holding a crossbow.
His face showed excitement and fighting spirit.
He lay down behind the carriage and prepared to fight back.
The leading general was still making the final mobilization: "Although most of you are participating in a battle for the first time, don't be nervous.
All you have to do is follow your orders and fire your crossbows as you were trained."
"Don't worry, boss. We're not nervous!"
"General Zhao is lying in ambush behind us, ready to support us at any time. We must kill a few more people to gain merit."
"Hey, we're going to make a lot of money this time!"
"Pay more attention to shooting arrows at the enemy, these are all top-notch war horses.
If we capture some we can also form a cavalry."
"That's right, we must kill more people and not hurt the warhorse by mistake!"
The enemy's cavalry was extremely fast and rushed to our front in just a few breaths.
The generals on Dayuan's side stared closely at the front, calculating the distance between the two sides in their minds.
When he got within 20 meters, he yelled, "Shoot!"
In an instant, countless arrows shot out from behind the carriage.
The barbarian cavalry was stunned and felt their scalps tingling.
At such a close distance, there was almost no time to react, and I didn't expect that I would be ambushed.
He reacted quickly and used his weapons to block.
While shouting defense loudly.
At such a close distance, a powerful crossbow can even penetrate armor.
After one round of shooting, the second row of soldiers continued shooting arrows.
The arrows came in an endless stream, and in such large numbers that they were like locusts, providing complete fire coverage.
A large number of soldiers were shot.
Having lost their cavalry, the horses ran around in disorder, blocking the charge from behind.
Even the cavalry in the rear couldn't stop and crashed into their horses, becoming confused and their charge speed gradually slowed down.
When the barbarian general saw that something was not right, he quickly ordered his men to turn their horses around and keep some distance.
At the same time, let people fight back with bows and arrows.
But they couldn't see the soldiers hiding behind them and could only fire blindly.
But the soldiers had already picked up their shields and hid under them.
In addition, he was wearing armor, so the thrown arrows posed little threat.
The barbarian general was furious.
I wanted to take advantage of something, but ended up suffering heavy losses.
"I don't believe these people are regular soldiers. I must slaughter them all."
The troops formed a formation and charged again.
This time they were more cautious and took out their shields to block the crossbow bolts.
As long as they rely on the impact of the cavalry in the face of the enemy, it will be a one-sided massacre.
General Dayuan also discovered that the other side had increased its defenses.
He said to his men, "Bring the medium-sized crossbows to the front and let these barbarians have a taste of our power.
Even with shields they can't stop it!"
Dozens of medium-sized crossbows were lined up in a row.
It takes four people to wind it up together, and the power is quite large.
Even the crossbow arrows are several times thicker than those of a small crossbow.
As soon as the enemy entered the 30-meter range, he immediately ordered someone to pull the carriage in front away.
"emission!"
With a sound of "㵔", medium-sized crossbows were fired at the same time.
The sound of the bowstring was extremely harsh.
After the launch, the four people shouted in unison and re-stringed the rifle very skillfully.
The soldiers in the rear also shot with crossbows.
The barbarian soldiers running in front saw the larger crossbow and felt a chill in their hearts.
This crossbow arrow is so big and looks extremely powerful.
There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the whole person flew backwards.
The crossbow arrow penetrated him with undiminished force and shot through the second person behind him.
Even a warhorse cannot withstand a single arrow.
Coupled with the rain of arrows from behind, their cavalry was unable to advance even a single step.
There was an invisible wall in front of them, blocking them out.
Faced with such huge casualties, even the barbarian generals were stunned.
Never before had such a brutal battle been fought.
After only two rounds of attacks, they had already suffered heavy losses, with at least 20% of them killed or wounded.
In the past, a 10% casualty rate would be considered a major loss.
Suddenly, he felt as if he could no longer fight.
When did the Dayuan army become so powerful?
Besides, are the people in front of me really regular troops?
Before he could react, he heard shouts and screams from behind.
I turned my head to look over and was scared to death.
Dense masses of cavalry were charging towards them in a semicircle, as if to surround them.
At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of people.
"It's an ambush. Retreat quickly, everyone turn around and break out."
The barbarian generals finally realized that this was definitely a trap set to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Once the encirclement is complete, no one can escape.
