The soldiers who fell to the ground also felt very aggrieved. How could they not know that there would be pursuers behind them?
I wanted to run away desperately, but I couldn't stand up no matter how hard I tried.
"I feel dizzy and have no strength!"
"Me too. I don't know why, but I feel so uncomfortable all over."
While they were talking, some soldiers had another fit and fell to the ground.
Some were even seriously injured and fainted on the spot.
The Annan generals were shocked and frightened when they saw this.
Finally realized: "Oh no, they are poisoned!"
Report the news to the marshal immediately.
Ask the accompanying military doctor to diagnose and treat them immediately and find out the extent of their poisoning.
Marshal Annan was incredulous: "How could he be poisoned after rushing all the way here?
The food was brought by us, and the drinking water was tested on livestock.
Is it possible that there is poisonous smoke in the lit fire?
No, the poisonous smoke is spreading everywhere, and even Dayuan’s army is not immune.”
Marshal Annan was puzzled and could not figure out the cause of the poisoning no matter how hard he racked his brains.
But more and more soldiers had attacks, and although the reactions were mild or severe, they were definitely unable to fight in this state.
Once the Dayuan army catches up, they will be completely powerless to resist.
"Report to the Marshal, they were indeed poisoned! And all the poisoned people drank the local water after arriving here.
And the more water you drink, the more serious the poisoning.
Those who drank only the water they brought with them showed no signs of poisoning.
According to my subordinates' speculation, this poison should take effect slowly.
There was no reaction when I first drank it, but it took half a day for the effects to show up.”
Marshal Anan was almost biting his teeth: "Damn it, Dayuan is too cruel, he even resorted to such a despicable trick."
I haven't had time to ask how to solve it.
Then I heard the sound of horse hooves behind me.
My heart sank immediately.
"No, I knew Dayuan wouldn't let us go easily.
All soldiers, listen up! Those who show no signs of poisoning, please follow me and retreat immediately.
Those who were poisoned and unable to escape stayed behind to stop the enemy.
Whatever method you use, try to delay it as much as possible!
As long as we can escape, we still have a chance to avenge you."
After saying this, he immediately mounted his horse and retreated hastily with his army.
The Annan soldiers who stayed behind could only try their best to take out their weapons and continue fighting with all their might.
Zhao Wudi led his army forward and attacked the enemy.
These people who had been poisoned could not exert even a little strength, and no one could defeat the enemy in one round.
He quickly killed them all and continued to chase them from behind.
In the city, Ye asked the soldiers to disband and rest on the spot.
The weather here is hot, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold when sleeping outside at night.
What's more, there is a fire next to it, so it won't get damp.
Princess Ruyue didn't expect that this battle would be won so easily.
Although the bodies have not been counted yet, at least 20,000 to 30,000 enemy soldiers were killed.
The look in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Ye was full of admiration.
"This is truly a great victory. Not only did we defeat the enemy with fewer troops, but we also suffered very few losses.
They also destroyed tens of thousands of enemy troops.
The main force of Annan suffered heavy losses.”
Princess Ruyue said excitedly.
Ye was still somewhat dissatisfied with the results of this battle. He sighed and said, "What a pity! The enemy is too numerous, and we have too many soldiers.
If they could hold out for another half a quarter of an hour, they could at least burn most of the enemy troops to death.
Even if the rest rush out, they won’t be able to escape.”
"This has been directed very well, there is no need to feel regret!
Such a record is simply unique, and I'm afraid only you can do it.
What's more, General Zhao is leading the cavalry in pursuit, and he can annihilate at least another 10,000 or 20,000 enemy troops." Princess Ruyue just likes people like Ye, who are not proud even after winning a battle.
I am even reflecting on myself and summarizing my experience.
Princess Ruyue took the initiative to hold Ye's hand and comforted him softly.
When Ye felt the soft little hand, he was stunned at first.
There were ripples in my heart.
Princess Ruyue smiled slightly, but behaved very generously.
The more I get to know Ye after being in contact with him for so long, the more I fall in love with him.
Now he has nothing to hide and expresses his feelings directly through actions.
Ye never expected that he could win the heart of Princess Ruyue.
You must know that in the capital before, Princess Ruyue was as famous as the moon surrounded by stars.
He himself has always been the object of ridicule by others.
I thought the two would never meet.
But by accident they fought together.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that fate is really amazing.
Ever since he got to know Princess Ruyue's character, Ye has liked her very much.
He held Princess Ruyue's hand with his backhand, and everything was said without words.
"Yes! With General Zhao's cavalry's pursuit capabilities, they can kill at least 20,000 enemy troops.
After all, most of them had drunk the poisoned water and were unable to escape.
This was the first battle against Annan.
After suffering such a huge loss, I believe Annan would not dare to attack easily again.
The initiative has fallen into our hands."
There was a confident smile on Ye's face.
As the war continued, the business empire he had built began to play a huge role.
Utilizing the transportation capabilities, food, fodder, weapons and armor were continuously delivered.
War is fought for resources.
Whoever holds out longer and has sharper weapons will win in the end.
Wait until dawn in the early morning.
Only then did Zhao Wudi lead the cavalry back.
Everyone's armor was stained red with blood, all stained with the blood of the enemy.
Although they had been fighting all night, all the soldiers looked excited and not tired at all.
"This battle was truly exhilarating! The poisoned enemy soldiers were completely powerless to fight back. It was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables with a chopping board."
As soon as Zhao Wudi came back, he excitedly reported the battle situation at the top of his voice.
"How many people did you kill?"
"Your Highness, we've killed at least 30,000 of them! The remaining enemy troops are hiding in the mountains and quickly building defenses.
Our cavalry was unable to gain any advantage, so I led my troops back."
Ye nodded slightly and said: "You did the right thing. The cavalrymen you led were all elite, and it would be heartbreaking if any of them were killed or injured.
The enemy's morale has been completely crushed, and they certainly won't dare to attack again.
Next, they will join forces with their main army.
What we need to do next is to prevent this army from withdrawing to Annan.
Since you dare to invade my Dayuan, all of you must leave your lives behind."
"Since Your Highness has said so, I fully believe that Your Highness can achieve it."
Zhao Wudi's eyes were also full of admiration.
He was also a famous general of the Dayuan Dynasty, but compared with Ye's ability to command battles, he was not on the same level at all.
With each battle, Zhao Wudi admired Ji Yu even more.
"Stop flattering me! The entire army should rest immediately! We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow!"
Collecting and burning all the corpses would easily lead to the outbreak of plague over time.
All spoils must be recycled, and nothing can be wasted."
"I obey your command!"
