Zhao Wudi did not respond, he was loyal to the emperor.
I will report all of Ye's performance one by one.
The emperor will naturally make a wise choice.
As for your thoughts, it doesn't matter at all.
The emperor wanted him to inherit the throne, and there was no way he could escape.
"Now is not the time to relax, there is still a tough battle to break through the border.
Everyone took turns to rest and take care of the injured soldiers.
We must be in the best possible condition when we arrive at the border." Ye said in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness! With this victory, our morale is high and the enemy will be afraid.
They certainly wouldn’t dare to fight us to the death.”
Zhao Wudi replied.
Shortly after leaving the battlefield, other Annan troops finally arrived.
Seeing the corpses all over the ground, he was shocked and stunned.
Less than half an hour after they received the news and rushed over, the 20,000-strong army was completely wiped out.
This situation is unheard of.
The leading general was so horrified that he gave up the pursuit at the first opportunity.
He also has an army of 20,000. If he chases after them, wouldn't he suffer the same fate?
There is absolutely no confidence in winning.
"Is the information wrong? To annihilate an army of 20,000 in such a short period of time, the enemy must have at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to be defeated so quickly, without even a single soldier surviving."
"It's terrible, we have to wait for the other armies.
It's too dangerous to rush forward rashly!"
The deputy general's face was also full of fear.
The best way to deal with an opponent whose background you cannot figure out is to hide behind him.
"Send the scouts to find the other armies immediately and tell them what's happening here.
All armies must unite; acting alone could lead to annihilation."
The generals of Annan were afraid and did not dare to pursue.
It gave Ye and the others a chance to escape.
Furthermore, the cavalry and chariots moved very quickly, leaving the pursuing army far behind.
Wait until Commander Annan leads his troops to catch up.
Looking at the corpses of soldiers all over the ground, I also felt extremely incredible.
He rode a horse and observed the battlefield.
His face was terribly gloomy.
"This army is not only strong in combat, but their weapons are also quite powerful."
He pointed at a soldier's wound and said.
"Their crossbow bolts actually split into four pieces, which would cause more serious wounds.
Moreover, this type of wound bleeds quickly and is difficult to treat.
Even armor can be shot through.
It can be seen that their crossbows are extremely powerful.
I have fought for so many years, but I have never seen such powerful weapons.
If there were a large number of such weapons, they would equip the entire army.
We are no match for the Dayuan army."
After listening to the analysis, the generals under him also looked extremely serious.
“Dayuan has such an army, but it didn’t fight us head-on.
When our main army besieged Dayuan City, they not only did not go to rescue.
The anti-Japanese invaded our territory.
Could it be that the main Dayuan army we thought was just a decoy?"
The deputy general's face was filled with shock and confusion, and he felt a sense of fear.
If the army is larger in number this time, will they have a chance of winning in a head-on battle?
"I don't think there are many of these crossbows! They're too difficult and expensive to make.
That’s why it’s impossible to equip the entire army.
Otherwise, there would be no need to use tens of thousands of people as bait and be trapped in the city by us."
A general said loudly.
"But our 20,000-strong army was wiped out in less than half an hour. How do you explain this?" someone immediately questioned.
This Annan general had a dark complexion and a very strong body.
He had a fierce look on his face and looked fearless.
"The reason we were defeated was definitely because we were ambushed and caught off guard!"
He pointed to the slope in the distance and continued, "If my guess is correct, the Dayuan army is hiding behind it.
First use a small number of troops as bait to lure our army here, and then launch a surprise attack.
Finally, the cavalry went around and launched a surprise attack from the rear.
It was precisely because our army was too careless and attacked from all sides that we were completely wiped out.
But it also shows that the generals of this army are indeed very resourceful.
Use a few thousand soldiers as bait to kill our 20,000 troops.
This also shows that the army did not have many crossbows.
Otherwise, using only crossbows and arrows, a frontal battle would be enough to annihilate the entire 20,000-man army."
After listening to the analysis, Commander Annan knew that he had missed the best opportunity.
The Dayuan army fought a desperate attack in order to scare them and prevent them from pursuing.
I'm afraid the army has suffered heavy losses after fighting this battle.
They are desperately retreating to the border.
"Quick, send someone after them! We must not let the Dayuan army escape."
He immediately led all the troops to chase after them desperately.
He even sent out all the cavalry to stop the Dayuan army first and wait for the main force in the rear to catch up.
If the Dayuan army is allowed to cause a big disturbance in Annan, then it can retreat safely.
As a marshal, he is unforgivable.
Not long after, Zhao Wudi's scouts discovered cavalry chasing from the rear.
"The Annan cavalry are already chasing us, less than ten miles away!"
"Got it, keep exploring! Remember, try not to be discovered by the enemy."
Zhao Wudi knew that he couldn't escape this time.
The enemy's intention was very clear, which was to use cavalry to slow down their marching speed and wait for the arrival of the main army.
"Your Highness, please lead the troops ahead. I will hold off the enemy troops in the rear!"
Ye also knew that any ambush would be of no use to these cavalrymen.
If the other party suffers a loss, they will definitely harass you and will never fight you head-on.
He immediately ordered: "String all the crossbows and hand them over to the cavalry!"
Then he looked at Zhao Wudi and said, "Annan's cavalry cannot match ours, and their war horses cannot run as fast as ours.
You take your men to find a place to hide, and when the enemy catches up, you launch a surprise attack on them.
Use your crossbows to inflict heavy damage on your enemies before launching a fierce attack on them.
Remember not to fight too long.
After a charge, immediately retreat and come to us."
"Yes, I understand!"
Zhao Wudi agreed, asked someone to take the crossbow, and immediately found a jungle to hide in.
Ye led his army to rush to the border as quickly as possible.
The longer the delay, the more dangerous it is.
At this time, the Kingdom of Annan had already assembled a large number of troops to encircle this side.
Can't stop for a moment.
It wasn't long before the Annan cavalry caught up.
Zhao Wudi shouted and led his army out of the woods.
The Annan cavalry had never expected that at this time, there would be troops left behind to ambush them.
He was startled and quickly got off the bed and retreated.
Their mission was only to delay the Dayuan army and not to fight head-on.
As soon as he turned around, another group of cavalry rushed out from behind.
In desperation, I could only prepare to fight.
The Annan Kingdom had only more than 10,000 cavalrymen.
There was no advantage in numbers.
But the cavalry wanted to escape, and it was impossible to annihilate them in a short period of time.
The cavalry generals of Annan were not too panicked.
