The cavalry of Lingshuang Kingdom soon discovered that hundreds of thousands of troops from Dayuan were marching towards the border.
With no other options, they could only send out some troops to resist.
Zhao Wudi and his men received the news and immediately came to meet up.
Seeing Ruyuejun, Zhao Wudi looked ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, and I'm sorry, Junyu, for not being able to protect Your Highness."
"It's just a little bit short of saving His Highness.
But His Highness once again stepped into danger to protect us."
Lei Ying's face was also filled with shame.
Although Ruyuejun was also very sad, she still tried hard to control her emotions.
He comforted everyone, "Don't blame yourselves, I know you have all tried your best.
The enemy is too powerful.
We were caught off guard and completely unprepared.
But this time, we must defeat the Lingshuang Kingdom and force them to send His Highness back."
"Jun Yu is right, the best way is to defeat Ling Shuang's powerful army.
Lingshuang Kingdom only has this one capable army.
As long as they can be annihilated, they will completely lose their ability to resist.
If the army continues to push forward, it will surely be able to bring them to submission."
"Then what are you waiting for? Just keep fighting!
Lingshuang Kingdom is really damnable. They actually dared to attack us.
They must be destroyed!"
Lei Zhan has a bad temper, and Li Ye's life or death is unknown, which makes him extremely angry.
"Don't be impatient, this battle must be carried out step by step!
If we act too hastily and fail, the consequences will be disastrous.
The enemy is very powerful and all the soldiers are experts.
You must not be careless at all."
Zhao Wudi had fought with the enemy several times and knew that they were quite powerful.
Even with a crossbow in hand, you still can't gain any advantage.
Although there are 500,000 troops, they are all infantry.
Once the enemy rushes to the front of the battle, the entire army may be wiped out.
Not to mention the barbarian army is eyeing them covetously.
Ruyue Jun also knew how to lead troops in battle and agreed very much with Zhao Wudi's opinion.
"General Zhao is right. This battle must be fought with caution. Our goal is to destroy the enemy. We must not underestimate them.
I also discussed the enemy's weaknesses with His Highness when I was together.
They were too strong, and crossbows had little effect.
But our medium and round crossbows can break through their defenses.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will still be unable to resist medium to large military crossbows.
This time, we brought 10,000 medium and large crossbows, and crossbow arrows will be delivered continuously.
This battle still depends on these weapons."
"How to fight this battle? Let General Ruyue Jun and General Zhao take charge.
We obey orders and lead the charge."
Thunder Eagle said.
"I think it should be divided into three groups. One group is infantry, using large crossbows as the main unit, and light crossbows as auxiliary units.
The enemy army charges forward with defense as its priority.
The requirements for the formation are very high.
Commanded by Lei Zhan and Jun 㹏.
The second is our flexible chariot crossbow, which is used for encirclement and support.
Chase and fight the enemy cavalry!
As soon as the enemy charges, immediately deploy a defensive formation.
If the enemy retreats, let the chariot and crossbow troops pursue them.
I led all the cavalry and fought flexibly, with the goal of rescuing and harassing the enemy."
Zhao Wudi quickly gave a method to deal with the enemy.
Ruyuejun㹏 also thought it made sense.
"I agree. We are no match for them in a head-on battle because of our powerful weapons.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, we advance step by step."
"I agree..."
Others also expressed their agreement.
“I just received good news that the imperial court has sent troops to attack the barbarians.
Coupled with the cooperation of our tens of thousands of cavalry, the barbarian coalition is not in a good situation at the moment.
They are unable to send troops to support Lingshuang Nation." Lei Ying said.
"This is really good news. Now we can focus on dealing with the Lingshuang Nation. We must make them pay a heavy price."
Lei Zhan's face was full of murderous intent.
Under the leadership of several people, the army advanced rapidly and entered the territory of Lingshuang State.
The Lingshuang army was on high alert, sending out 50,000 troops to snipe from the front.
The generals of Lingshuang Kingdom did not take the Dayuan army seriously.
In their view, no matter how many infantrymen there were, they could not pose a threat to them.
As long as they rush forward, the infantry will be just lambs to be slaughtered.
Even if it is one to ten, it still has an absolute advantage.
Looking at Dayuan's army, the generals of Lingshuang Kingdom looked disdainful.
"Dayuan actually dared to attack our Lingshuang Nation. They must be tired of living.
All soldiers, listen up and prepare for the attack.
One round of attack defeated it.
His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, and we must find His Majesty as soon as possible to win this battle."
The deputy general was a cautious man. He looked at the Dayuan army with a serious expression and advised, "It's not a big problem to deal with their infantry alone, but the Dayuan cavalry is very strong.
Especially their crossbows pose a considerable threat to us.
We are afraid that when we launch an all-out attack, this cavalry will attack from the rear.
We are at a great disadvantage when we are attacked from both sides."
General Ling Shuang replied, "Have you contacted the barbarian army?
Let them deal with the Dayuan cavalry.
Tell them that it doesn't matter if they can't win, as long as they can delay the war until it's over.
We can defeat the great source of power."
“We’ve found it and are trying to convince them!
Let's wait for their agreement before launching the attack."
"These barbarians are really hopeless!
If they hadn't been so stupid, they would have defeated Dayuan long ago."
Little did they know that the barbarian army had already suffered a lot at the hands of the Dayuan army.
Although a lot of preparations were made, the battle was fought very hastily after all.
Not all armies had enough shields, and not all horses were protected by armor.
Without adequate defense, they were no match for the Dayuan cavalry.
One round of crossbow bolts could inflict heavy casualties on them.
After receiving the news, the generals of this barbarian cavalry were in a state of confusion.
Without the advantage in numbers, there is no way to gain any advantage.
All their strongest troops were transferred back to deal with the attack of the Dayuan imperial army.
They were just cooperating in the battle.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn, and I became more and more dissatisfied with them.
Messenger Ling Shuang saw that they were still hesitant to make up their minds.
I couldn't help but sneer: "I didn't expect the barbarian army to be so cowardly that they wouldn't even agree to let you hold them back.
No wonder he was defeated by Dayuan.
Faced with such an opportunity, no one dared to take action.
It seems that Lingshuang Kingdom's alliance with you is our greatest shame.
We will deal with the Dayuan army on our own, and don't ask for support from now on."
The generals of the barbarian army were provoked and were also afraid that Lingshuang would withdraw its troops.
Finally, he made up his mind and forced a smile on his face: "I am not afraid of the Dayuan cavalry, but I am thinking about how to fight this battle.
Your soldiers are very skilled in martial arts and are not afraid of their crossbows.
We are different.
No matter the individual quality or armor, we are not as good as you.
I’m worried about holding you back.”
