"We must settle the families of these people and not let them worry about their lives." Li Ye knew that this was not the time to be sad, and he had to concentrate to deal with the fierce battle that was about to come.
The real battle has just begun.
"yes!"
The subordinate agreed and went to inform and comfort their families.
The barbarian king retreated two miles before settling down.
Seeing the obvious reduction in the number of troops, he was almost in tears, and then he was filled with anger.
He had never suffered such a great loss since he began leading his troops into battle.
The data was quickly counted, and the death toll of more than 8,000 people made him feel dizzy and almost fainted.
"Sixth Prince Li Ye, if I catch you I will tear you into pieces. I will not be a human being if I don't kill you."
The barbarian king's teeth were almost broken and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We were fooled by him and underestimated him.
If we had known that the other party was so cunning, we would have taken precautions in advance and would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
But his plan has been implemented, and he will definitely be defeated next."
The generals under his command were afraid that the king would get sick from anger, so they hurried to persuade him.
"Yes, my lord, we are not familiar with the situation in the village at all.
I never expected that there were so many houses built there. They were so familiar with the terrain.
We were ambushed by the enemy and suffered a great loss.
Now that we have a clear understanding of the situation, we will attack steadily and steadily next time and will definitely be able to eliminate them."
"We should turn our anger into strength and destroy them all."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I didn't expect Li Ye to grow so strong so quickly.
The more this happens, the more we can't let him go.
We must get rid of him today!"
The barbarian king said with gritted teeth.
He quickly adjusted his mood and gathered all the generals together to discuss the attack plan.
This time I didn't gain anything but suffered such a huge loss.
He had no way out. If he could not take revenge and give an explanation to the tribe, he would definitely attract a lot of complaints.
His status as king will be questioned.
But this time the barbarian king was more cautious.
He said to his men, "Although the Dayuan army's combat effectiveness is not strong, they have very powerful crossbows, and their number is countless.
We are at a disadvantage in this regard.
If the fighting continues, there is a high probability of even greater casualties.
Should we continue the attack or retreat? Tell us what you think!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals started shouting.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? We are not afraid even if there are crossbows.
As long as we take precautions in advance, there is not much threat at all."
“Yes, we made a large shield that can block most crossbow arrows.
As long as the front-line soldiers carry these large shields during the next siege, they won't be afraid of crossbows."
"Your Majesty, give us one more chance and I guarantee you’ll kill us in one fell swoop!
Although the crossbows will cause us some casualties, if we can eliminate them all, those crossbows will be ours.
With these crossbows, our strength will be greatly increased.
You can use these weapons to attack the Dayuan army."
"I also believe that we cannot retreat and must continue the attack!
We have the advantage in numbers and can attack from multiple locations. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Surround the village directly and attack from multiple sides. As long as we kill those in the city, we can surround it.
Their efforts will not have much effect.”
…
These are the words of the Barbarian King and others.
Even if a mistake occurs, the losses will be heavy.
It was these generals who demanded that the battle must be fought.
Moreover, these generals were also the leaders of various tribes or people of very high status.
They suffered losses and could not say anything.
"Well, we barbarian men are all true warriors.
Since everyone has decided to fight, I will naturally agree.
I ordered an attack from three sides.
Each sent 30,000 troops to attack simultaneously, and the remaining troops took turns to rest.
Once the city gate is breached, rush in with all your might.
You must pay attention to this attack and must proceed steadily and steadily, and don't be impatient."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
With the reinforcements, the entire barbarian army was full of momentum and clamored to avenge their own people.
Light the torches and start the attack.
The Barbarian King still used a strategy, and he pretended to attack from the front.
Many bonfires and torches were lit, illuminating the area in front of the city gate very brightly.
The brighter the front, the darker the rest of the world appears.
Another 60,000 troops quietly advanced to launch a surprise attack.
If there were no heavy troops guarding other places, it would be easy to attack.
After all, the city wall here is not too high, and you can climb up quickly with a ladder.
After capturing the city wall, reinforcements will come up continuously.
In the eyes of the Barbarian King, there is no reason for this round of attack to fail.
In order to make the plan more successful, the barbarian king once again rode his horse to a place not far from the city gate.
Provoking Li Ye.
"Sixth Prince Li Ye, listen carefully to this king, my 100,000 reinforcements have arrived.
There are another 200,000 troops rushing over from behind.
I'll give you one last chance to surrender immediately. If you surrender now, I can spare your life.
If you still dare to resist, we will definitely massacre your entire city once we invade."
Li Ye found it extremely ridiculous after hearing this. He wondered if this guy had a problem with his brain.
I still feel like a fool for believing his nonsense.
How could we possibly be allowed to live if we killed so many of them and surrendered?
Even if he were alive, he would probably be beaten to a state worse than death.
Before Li Ye could speak, Lei Zhan could not help but yell, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you ask His Highness to surrender? I think it's you who should surrender.
You led 30,000 elite troops, yet we killed so many of them. If your reinforcements hadn't arrived, we would have captured you long ago."
Li Ye gave Lei Zhan a thumbs up and praised him, "That's nice of you to say. Keep scolding him.
Anyway, delaying time is more beneficial to us!"
Li Ye knew very well that all his elite troops had been taken away by Zhao Wudi.
If Zhao Wudi received the news, he would definitely bring his troops here.
At that time, if both sides attack from both sides, they might be able to defeat the enemy.
There is no rush to start a war.
Lei Zhan was encouraged and became even more motivated. He even stood on the wall and cursed loudly: "You barbarians dare to call yourself king. Surrender now and I will give you a chance to live.
Otherwise, our Highness will definitely lead the army north and destroy you all.
Treat all of you barbarians as slaves!"
The barbarian king was so angry that he was fuming.
It was the greatest insult to him that a nameless guy dared to point at his nose and curse him.
"Who the hell are you to speak to this king like that?"
Lei Zhan, holding his waist, replied, "Listen carefully, I am Lei Zhan, the commander-in-chief of the infantry appointed by His Highness himself. Sooner or later, I will capture you alive."
