Seeing that they could not escape, Princess Ruyue immediately ordered her troops to gather and form a defensive formation.
Use bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the enemy sparsely, trying to stop the cavalry charge.
The Annan generals were extremely happy to see this situation.
This means that this large army is isolated and helpless, and there may even be some death squads left behind specifically to stop them from pursuing.
Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his troops to launch a fierce attack.
Even the step of persuading surrender was omitted.
The soldiers of Annan wanted to annihilate the entire Dayuan army and leave no one alive.
Although these thousand troops were not eliminated from Qin Qingxue's army of ten thousand due to heatstroke or illness, they were indeed the elite of the army.
Even when facing enemies that outnumber them several times, they still defended in an orderly manner.
And while defending, they retreated in an orderly manner.
They must get as close as possible to Li Ye's ambush location. The closer they get, the more likely they will be able to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
The two armies soon engaged in a fierce battle.
The enemy rushed forward desperately, and the two sides fought each other.
Huge injuries soon occurred.
The line of contact is like a meat grinder, killing the enemy at one moment and being stabbed to death by the enemy who came up the next moment.
There was no time to think, so he could only swing his weapon desperately, trying to kill as many enemies as possible.
Moreover, the enemy cavalry took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack from the flank.
The soldiers on the flanks held spears and stabbed the cavalry fiercely.
At the same time, a rain of arrows poured down.
The Annan cavalry charged into the battle formation at the cost of dozens of people.
Under the impact of the cavalry, they were almost unable to resist.
The soldiers suffered immediate and huge injuries.
Princess Ruyue was in the middle of the army formation, her lips pursed and her face frosty, staring intently at every detail of the battlefield.
"Give the order to cut the enemy cavalry's horses' legs. Once the horses' legs are cut off, the threat from the cavalry will be eliminated."
"yes!"
The soldiers on the flanks were fearless and looked for opportunities to chop off the horses' legs.
As a result, the Annan cavalry felt fear.
Their numbers were still too small, and the Dayuan soldiers fought hard to resist, slowing down the charge.
Once the cavalry stops, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
As the number of casualties among the war horses increased, they dared not continue to charge forward.
Quickly give the order to retreat.
Turn the horse's head and break out to the outside.
After they had distanced themselves, they prepared to launch the next charge.
Princess Ruyue loudly issued an order: "Don't linger in the battle, maintain the rhythm of retreat."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the cavalry charging towards me again.
Princess Ruyue drew her bow and shot the arrow in one breath.
“Whoosh!”
An arrow accurately hit the cavalry in front.
Without stopping, he continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
He shot several arrows in succession, all of which hit the target accurately.
This gave the attacking Annan cavalry a fright.
The eyes looking at Princess Ruyue were full of fear.
But Princess Ruyue's outstanding performance also attracted the attention of the enemy.
They drew their bows and shot arrows at Princess Ruyue.
Princess Ruyue was too lazy to hide.
When the enemy's arrows were about to fly in front of them, the soldiers next to her raised their shields together to protect Princess Ruyue's safety.
After a burst of tinkling sounds.
All the arrows were blocked outside.
Princess Ruyue pursed her lips and continued to shoot arrows.
Any enemy soldier who showed ferocity was within her target.
Every time they shot an enemy, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly.
It boosted the morale of the entire army.
This made the Annan general so angry that he screamed and cried.
"Archers, aim at that general! Whoever kills her will be rewarded a hundred gold coins!"
The enemy archers fired arrows together, and the arrows poured down like a rain of arrows.
Princess Ruyue had no choice but to give up shooting the enemy.
Hiding among the crowd of soldiers.
The surrounding soldiers also raised their shields to block the enemy's arrows.
The fighting between the two armies became more and more brutal, and the enemy's attacks came wave after wave.
After a while, the Annan general finally lost all his patience.
It was only a matter of time before we defeated the thousand-man army before us.
But he was also worried that other troops would get the news and rush over immediately.
Then he won't be able to take all the credit.
What's more, he could see that the Dayuan army was slowly retreating, looking for an opportunity to escape.
We can't wait any longer.
"All soldiers, listen up! Launch the attack! Kill all the Dayuan soldiers!"
After saying this, he drew his sword, rode his horse and went into battle himself.
Seeing that all the generals had joined the battle, the morale of the Annan army was soaring.
The attack became more fierce.
At this moment, the distance to the slope is less than a hundred meters.
Li Ye clenched his fists tightly, looked at the fierce battle in front of him, and gritted his teeth to persevere.
"Come closer, hold on! We must not give the enemy a chance to escape!"
The soldiers next to him were furious.
They were eating and chatting together not long ago, but now they fell down in front of them one after another.
I feel so sad.
All the Annan troops rushed forward, and the pressure suddenly increased.
The number of injuries is also increasing exponentially.
Princess Ruyue gritted her teeth and rushed forward to kill the enemy when she saw that the place was undefended.
"Retreat, retreat quickly! The formation must not be disrupted! If the formation breaks, we will surely die!"
The soldiers also knew that it was the most critical moment.
Whether they can survive depends on whether they can retreat to the edge of the slope.
“War, war, war…”
“Kill, kill, kill…”
Everyone was completely mad with rage.
He didn't care about defense at all, and used all his strength to kill the enemy.
Even if the enemy hits a vital point, you must use your last bit of strength to give the enemy one more blow before falling.
The blood had dyed the earth red. With every step back, countless soldiers lay down and slept here forever.
It was extremely difficult to walk just a few dozen meters.
It's like a huge chasm, extremely far away.
Lin Yue protected Princess Ruyue by her side. She would only block the enemy when they were in danger and kill them with a single sword strike.
Lin Yue remained extremely calm from beginning to end.
He was not overwhelmed by the brutality of the battle.
If it weren't for her protection, no matter how powerful Princess Ruyue's martial arts skills were, she would probably have been injured.
Finally, we were less than twenty meters away from the slope.
Even the besieging enemy soldiers discovered the soldiers lying in ambush behind the slope.
His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Finally reacted and wanted to shout out loud.
"Swoosh!" An arrow pierced his throat.
With eyes wide open, he slowly fell down.
"Brothers, kill them!" Li Ye roared and gave the order to attack.
All the soldiers had been holding back their rage for a long time, and they rushed up the slope with all their might, firing crossbows at the enemy.
Before the besieging enemy soldiers could react, their bodies were pierced by crossbow arrows.
"Kill the cavalry first, don't let any cavalry go!" Li Ye reminded loudly.
The soldiers who reacted immediately aimed their three-arrow crossbows at the enemy cavalry on the flank.
Hundreds of Annan cavalrymen were frightened out of their wits when they saw the rain of swords from the sky.
Some took out shields to block vital parts, while others waved long swords to block.
