Princess Ruyue's thoughts were exposed, and she muttered unhappily, "How stingy! You won't let me do anything."
Li Ye ignored her.
Order people to beat the war drums and launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
The Annan troops stationed there did not expect to be attacked.
But they are also quick to react.
Quickly form a formation.
Pick up weapons and start fighting back.
Moreover, it is located on a high ground and has the advantage of terrain.
Pick up stones and logs and throw them down.
Stop the army from attacking.
Archers shoot arrows together.
The soldiers at the front were all holding huge shields.
The enemy shot arrows at him, but he blocked them all.
When the rolling stones and wood reached their front, several people stuck their shields into the ground, and the shields were connected to each other.
The long stick in his hand held up the shield.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Stones and logs hit the shield and were all blocked.
This is a large shield specially designed by Li Ye.
There is a sharp blade under the shield, which is inserted into the ground to fix the shield.
Add another piece of wood to support the shield, and when they are connected together it will become a low wall.
Even the enemy's cavalry would not be able to cross it easily.
Such an exquisite design once again opened the eyes of Zhao Wudi and Princess Ruyue.
But what the soldiers did next shocked them even more.
The soldiers took out their crossbows, mounted them on their shields, and aimed at the enemies who were throwing stones.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
After one row of soldiers finished shooting, the second row of soldiers took over.
After shooting the crossbow arrows, the soldiers returned to continue reloading.
The crossbow arrow was so powerful that the enemy was hit before they could react.
Moreover, the crossbow arrow has four blades.
Shooting through the enemy's body will cause heavy bleeding and it will be difficult to treat.
Even after shooting through one person's body, it will also hit the person behind him.
The enemies fell in droves like harvested rice.
The other surviving enemies no longer dared to show up easily, and quickly lay on the ground or looked for cover.
Following the general's order, all the soldiers holding crossbows gathered together.
Tilt at a certain angle and throw it high into the sky.
Use parabola to shoot and kill the hiding enemies.
Soldiers holding shields took the opportunity to continue their attack.
As long as any enemy dares to show up, there will be special sniper soldiers shooting them dead.
These sniper soldiers are very accurate with their crossbows.
It can be said to be able to hit the target accurately from a hundred paces away.
Many soldiers were killed by the crossbow arrows thrown out.
The army advanced layer by layer, making it impossible for the enemy to completely defend themselves.
Seeing this, the generals of the Annan defending army knew that they were no match for their opponent.
He shouted something incoherently, ordering the soldiers to retreat quickly.
At that time, cavalry was sent forward to report the news and ask the main force to send its main force to support as soon as possible.
But when they retreated in a hurry, they encountered an army surrounding them from the rear.
When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other and started fighting.
The Annan garrison troops were not in a numerical advantage and were attacked from all sides.
They were quickly defeated.
The surviving soldiers dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground in surrender.
In less than a quarter of an hour from the time the attack was launched, all the enemy forces were defeated.
Not a single enemy soldier was spared.
The most important thing is that Dayuan’s army suffered very few casualties.
Only seven soldiers who tried to stop them from behind were killed and more than one hundred were injured.
It can be said to be an unprecedented victory.
Zhao Wudi and Princess Ruyue were deeply shocked.
This is the first time I've seen this way of fighting.
Every soldier was ordered to follow the rules.
Equipped with sharp weapons, the enemy will be unable to fight back.
How can these be old, weak and disabled soldiers?
Even if we look at the Dayuan Dynasty, they are definitely the elite among the elite.
"Your Highness is a god-like warrior. I admire you immensely!"
Zhao Wudi couldn't help but sigh.
"You still say you can't lead troops? There are probably not many generals who can match you." Princess Ruyue also said.
A pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Li Ye with interest.
An expression that said, "See how you can hide this?"
Li Ye was not willing to admit that it was his own credit!
He smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the good command of the generals in the army. I dare not take credit for it!
At most, we just built some weapons for the army according to their requirements.
It is the generals who commanded well and the soldiers who fought bravely that deserve the greatest credit."
Princess Ruyue and Zhao Wudi didn't believe a single word Li Ye said.
This was originally an army of old, weak and disabled soldiers that had been eliminated.
If the cost is really that great, it is absolutely impossible to let them retire.
However, under Li Ye's command and training, they displayed amazing combat effectiveness.
Although it is true that they did not have the advantage, they easily defeated 3,000 enemy troops with almost no casualties of their own.
I'm afraid that no other general could have won so beautifully and smoothly.
Have people clean up the battlefield and collect all the armor worn by the enemies and anything that can be recycled.
In ancient times, any ironware was considered a valuable item.
Although the enemy's smelting technology is relatively poor, we can bring them back and re-smelt them to create a large number of weapons.
Li Ye did not indulge the captured soldiers.
After confiscating the weapons, immediately interrogate them. If no useful information is obtained, kill them directly.
Leading these people into battle not only consumes food, but also requires special personnel to guard them.
It's a complete waste.
Li Ye said to his soldiers: "When you came here, I think you have all seen places that have been looted by the enemy.
All men, women, young and old were killed by them.
These guys are not human beings at all, they are all a bunch of beasts.
Kill them and avenge our people."
"Revenge, revenge..."
The soldier's eyes turned red with anger when he thought of the miserable state of the people.
I wish I could chop these prisoners a few more times.
Kill all the captives.
The soldiers all felt very relieved. It was really great to fight with Li Ye.
What damn prisoners! Anyone who has harmed our people must die.
Because of the hot weather, with so many people dead, the body would quickly rot and even cause an epidemic.
Let the soldiers chop more firewood and burn the enemy's corpses.
After doing all this, he led the army to retreat.
This victory was not reported to Qin Qingxue, as if the enemy's 3,000 garrison troops had never appeared.
Li Ye was not stingy and distributed the money he received to the soldiers.
The captured grain was also brought back.
Make a fire and cook, feed the soldiers and celebrate the victory.
The soldiers from Qin Qingxue's command were extremely happy.
Everyone talked about the battle excitedly.
"If anyone dares to say anything bad about His Highness the Sixth Prince again, I will be the first to disagree."
"His Highness the Sixth Prince is so kind to his soldiers! It's such a joy to fight alongside him!"
"The Sixth Prince also specifically ordered that the wounded and dead soldiers should receive more money.
Such a large amount of pension is enough for the family to live a life of ease and comfort.
Even if I die on the battlefield, I am willing to do so."
