After a short hesitation, Zhao Wudi led his army to rush forward.
Once within range, immediately issue the attack order.
All the cavalrymen took out their crossbows and shot arrows at the enemy.
After shooting two arrows in succession, the first row of cavalry began to slow down, while the charge troops behind continued to shoot arrows.
The rain of arrows never stopped, and the enemy was mowed like a hedgehog on straw.
The small shield he carried was not enough to cover his entire body.
By the time they rushed to the front, all the enemy troops had been wiped out.
It was so smooth and simple. After one round of charge, there was no close combat and the battle was over.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately and pick up all the pieces. Leave some people to burn the bodies, and the rest of you follow me!"
Zhao Wudi quickly gave orders, cleaned up the scene, took the bow and arrow and left immediately.
The infantry picked out the intact horses, and the injured ones were taken care of by special personnel.
The killed war horses were quickly divided up on the spot and taken away as military rations.
Under the command of the general, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and everyone completed their tasks step by step.
Cleaned up quickly.
If no one is let go, the news will not be able to spread in a short time.
It was as if these two thousand enemy troops had never appeared.
It was not until nightfall that the barbarian army began to act.
First, five teams were divided, each leading more than 10,000 troops and marching towards the inland of Dayuan.
Another 50,000 troops were sent to attack Li Ye's base.
The remaining troops remained to guard the garrisons in various cities.
He wanted to loot enough wealth and food before the Dayuan court could react.
Then retreat quickly and avoid formally going to war with Dayuan.
After the deed was done, there were only quarrels and threats between the two sides. He believed that under such circumstances, Dayuan would not dare to send troops to attack them.
It doesn’t matter even if they come to attack. If you can defeat them, then fight. If you can’t, then run away.
They have already become extremely skilled at doing this kind of thing.
Their actions did not escape the notice of Thunder Eagle.
After knowing it, he quickly informed Zhao Wudi.
Zhao Wudi first selected the enemy troops that were smaller in number and then annihilated them.
A fierce battle broke out at night.
In order to avenge his previous humiliation, the barbarian king personally led his men to attack Li Ye's base.
When he got in front of his mother, he was stunned.
He remembered that this place was barren before, with only abandoned fields.
How come a tall city was suddenly built?
It was no longer possible to rely on the speed of the cavalry to break through.
Either retreat directly or abandon the warhorse and attack the city.
The barbarian king also hesitated.
Even if the defending army is relatively weak, the losses will be heavy if they try to climb over the city and attack.
Even if you win the war, you can get rich rewards, unlimited slaves and wealth.
However, he intended to win the battle quickly this time and was unwilling to suffer too much loss.
"Dayuan's construction speed is too fast. After only one winter, they actually built the entire city.
If they were given more time, I wonder how things would develop.”
The deputy general was deeply moved.
"The more this is the case, the faster we should attack. They don't have many troops, and a large number of them have escaped.
The people in the city must have lost all their morale and were filled with extreme fear.
At this time, they can’t show their full strength.”
As they were talking, other scouts came back to report the news.
The barbarian king was extremely shocked after hearing this.
There is actually not just one city, there are dozens of them as we go forward.
Moreover, there are city walls connecting the cities, the scale is simply terrifying.
"How did they build it? Did they have the help of gods?"
"This is truly terrifying. Maybe they're trying to build a Great Wall at the border to keep us out forever."
"I think we can't wait any longer. If we wait until next year, who knows what will happen!
Fortunately, we came here to check it out first. Otherwise, by the time the harvest comes in the summer, I'm afraid they would all be trapped inside the city walls.
There is no way to attack!"
After hearing what his subordinates said, the barbarian king became even more determined to attack.
They were absolutely right; now was the best time to attack.
Once the grain is harvested, there will be no shortage of food and grass, and we can hide inside the city walls for defense.
It is even possible to build a wall around the entire hotel, making it extremely difficult to attack.
"Immediately dispatch another 100,000 troops. We must capture this place tonight.
I want to see how capable he is of training the Labour army in a few months."
The barbarian king gritted his teeth and gave the order.
At the same time, people were sent to look for a suitable location for attack.
Li Ye also received reports from his subordinates that the enemy had come to attack.
Li Ye came to the city wall and looked from afar in the moonlight. He could see the reflections of weapons and armor.
"Do you know how many enemy troops are there?" Li Ye asked.
"According to our estimate, there are about 50,000 people! It's too dark to be completely sure!"
"That's about right, it seems the other party doesn't take us seriously!
They sent such a small number of people to attack us, thinking that we are incapable of doing anything." Li Ye sneered and said:
"Since that's the case, why not take advantage of their strategy? Resist for a while, pretend you can't win, and then retreat outside.
When the enemy attacks, we'll just shut the door and fight them!"
"This is a good idea. I will make arrangements immediately and move all the people to other places." Lei Ying agreed.
"Be sure not to make too much noise, or the enemy won't hear it."
"yes!"
In order to buy time, Li Ye held a large paper loudspeaker and shouted at the enemy:
"Don't hide anymore, don't think you haven't been discovered!
You barbarians are untrustworthy. We have already reached an agreement in the peace talks that both sides will not invade again.
You guys don't keep your word.
Once my Dayuan army arrives, I will definitely destroy you."
Li Ye knew that the other party hated him so much that he had someone light a torch so that he could see clearly.
The barbarians were extremely surprised to hear this.
Their most important task was to catch Li Ye, and they were very excited to see that he did not run away.
"Your Majesty, the one shouting from above is Sixth Prince Li Ye, and he really didn't run away.
As long as we capture the city, we can capture him.
I heard that the Sixth Prince is extremely wealthy and rich enough to rival a country.
First, take away all his wealth, and then give it to Yunlu Pavilion.
Then we’ll make a lot of money!”
The deputy general's face was filled with joy, and he even felt that success was just around the corner.
"He's here too, so it's easy. This time, he won't be able to escape.
Come, arrange the siege equipment!"
The barbarian king rode his horse forward a few steps. Since he was already exposed, there was no need to hide anymore.
Let someone light a torch so that you can see clearly.
After all, even when attacking a city, it is impossible to launch a surprise attack in the dark.
"This great king is here. If Li Ye surrenders quickly, I can still offer you a way out.
If you wait until the city is captured, you will die without a burial place."
