It was too late for General Ling Shuang to regret now, as arrows flew towards the cavalry.
Even if they react quickly and hold curved crossbows.
The huge force made my arms numb.
The crossbow arrow barely deviated from its flight path.
It was inserted into the soldier's body.
Some crossbow arrows hit the war horses and pierced them through.
Some cavalrymen were shot through the body by several crossbow arrows and died on the spot.
The first few rows of Lingshuang cavalry had no power to resist and were all shot dead.
The people behind quickly took this opportunity to turn their horses around and break out to the side.
The Thunder Eagle was waiting for them to retreat.
He led the crossbow chariot army to catch up with the enemy head-on, and while chasing, when they came within the shooting range, the soldiers immediately released arrows.
Once again, strike the enemy head-on.
The extremely proud Lingshuang cavalry no longer had the strength to resist.
They were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
Thousands of crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, with great power.
Even a single salvo caused them heavy losses.
General Ling Shuang fought desperately to break out of the city, but even his horse was shot dead.
He quickly jumped up, grabbed a horse from the Shidian cavalry, and fled desperately into the distance.
He shouted to his men heartbreakingly: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!
Keep your distance and don't fight them head-on!"
The invincible Lingshuang cavalry only held out for a quarter of an hour, leaving behind more than 8,000 corpses and fleeing in defeat.
Never dare to look down on Dayuan again.
They finally knew why the barbarian army was defeated.
Such a weapon is so terrifying that even the strongest person cannot resist it.
Even if a master was present, he would have no choice but to flee in panic.
Keeping a distance from them, General Ling Shuang's face was full of panic.
"How is this possible? How is such a huge crossbow made?
They actually have so many?
Who can be their opponent in a head-on battle?"
"This is really troublesome, it turns out that Dayuan is so powerful.
We have offended them.
If they continue to attack Lingshuang Nation, how are we going to resist?"
The cavalry of Lingshuang Kingdom relies on individual bravery and the whole country's strength is used to gather all the elite troops together.
But Dayuan completely defeated their pride.
Because the land is very barren, most places are not protected by city walls.
If Dayuan uses this method to advance with heavy troops, it will definitely be able to destroy their country.
At this moment, some people have begun to regret making an enemy of Dayuan.
General Ling Shuang had a gloomy face, not knowing how to respond.
Now the Empress's life or death is in danger, and Dayuan's troops are approaching.
Who can resist it?
If we do not stop them and allow Dayuan's army to continue advancing, their main forces are outside, and it will not take long for them to reach their capital and destroy their country.
If all the troops were withdrawn, not only would there still be no guarantee of victory, but the safety of their empress would be even less guaranteed.
Suddenly they found themselves in a dilemma.
The disadvantages of poor land and too few troops were infinitely magnified in front of Dayuan.
"No matter what, we must resist with all our might and never allow the Dayuan army to continue advancing.
We are no match for them during the day, so we launch sneak attacks at night under cover of darkness.
Their army's combat effectiveness is not strong, and they all rely on the lethality of crossbows.
At night when they are resting, if you suddenly attack them, these weapons will be completely useless.
Let them be killed.”
General Ling Shuang racked his brains but could only come up with this one solution.
The generals under her command all felt that this was the only way.
"Then let's retreat first, let the soldiers rest quickly, and launch a surprise attack at night."
After suffering a great loss, they retreated quickly without any hesitation.
They even left the bodies of their soldiers behind.
Lei Zhan was directing his men to restring all the crossbows.
Seeing that all the enemies had run away, he was so angry that he started cursing.
"These people are too cowardly, aren't they? They were scared out of their wits after just one battle and then ran away.
If you have the guts, come back and let’s continue fighting. I haven’t had enough fun yet.
Big brother, you should take people to chase them, you can't let them go."
Lei Ying led the crossbow army to retreat.
"The enemy is riding warhorses, how can we possibly catch up with them if we're pulling carts with horses?
It's good enough to win this game.
From now on, the enemy will have to go around us when they see us, and they will probably never dare to attack us actively again.
The most important thing now is to quickly find His Highness."
"They are lucky. Once we find His Highness, we will attack the Lingshuang Kingdom in one fell swoop and wipe them out first.
Then turn around and destroy the barbarians."
After this battle, Lei Zhan gained tremendous confidence.
The heavy crossbow built at great expense by Xi showed great advantages in combat on flat ground.
If all the troops were equipped with heavy crossbows, they would definitely be able to sweep across the world.
Occupy all the land in the world and make it belong to the Dayuan Dynasty.
There will be no more enemies from now on, and the people can live and work in peace.
"I don't think we can stop yet! The enemy must be searching for your Highness as well.
Their cavalry is faster and each one is very strong.
Searching around gives us a huge advantage.
The best way is to continue the attack and pretend to destroy Lingshuang Kingdom.
Only then were they forced to withdraw most of their troops to resist.
We are sending 100,000 troops to conduct a thorough search, which will make it easier to protect His Highness's safety."
Princess Ruyue calmly analyzed the current situation.
He did not get carried away by his victory.
Not too anxious either.
As the saying goes, care leads to confusion; random searches can easily lead to failure.
"What the princess said makes sense. I have already recalled most of the scouts and have them search for His Highness on the front lines.
Send another 100,000 troops to support and be able to deal with emergencies at any time.
If we find His Highness together with the enemy, these 100,000 troops can protect His Highness's safety." Lei Ying said.
"I'll give you all the cavalry. Attacking Lingshuang Country will be even more dangerous.
We must proceed with caution and never put the army in too dangerous a situation.
Furthermore, the enemy cavalry can come in like the wind, so you must have enough cavalry to protect the food supply."
Princess Ruyue said.
Lei Ying did not agree immediately. Cavalry was also extremely important in fighting in such complex terrain.
With only 10,000 infantrymen, even with a large number of crossbows, it may not be absolutely safe.
Now that the Sixth Prince has made a mistake, Princess Ruyue must not be put in danger again.
“No, we have infantry and crossbow chariots, which is enough.
Thousands of cavalry can protect the safety of the army.
The remaining cavalry should still be given to the princess.
With cavalry, the search would be faster.
I wonder if His Highness is safe now. The sooner we find him, the better."
Lei Zhan also said: "Yes, His Highness is not here, the princess's safety must be guaranteed.
We have enough infantry to pose a huge threat to Lingshuang Guoxingyu."
Lin Yue urged, "Princess, please stop shirking your responsibility and send troops to search for His Highness."
