These soldiers had been holding their breath for a long time, but they all pretended to be sick and didn't want to return to the camp.
Because they were taken care of so well by Li Ye, they always wanted to repay Li Ye.
When asked, they immediately answered in unison: "We are willing to fight and serve the Sixth Prince."
Li Ye knew that his guess was correct.
The food provided to them these days was very good, with plenty of vegetables and meat, and plenty of white rice.
It’s just to keep their bodies healthy.
At the same time, make them feel grateful.
Only by serving sincerely can we exert the strongest fighting power.
Li Ye could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
He continued, "Many of you are still ill, so don't be too stubborn.
Those who have recovered will follow the prince into battle, while the rest will remain stationed where they are and continue recuperating."
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, our illness has been cured!"
"I swear to follow the Sixth Prince until death!"
"We believe that following the Sixth Prince, we will definitely win the battle."
…
Listening to the soldiers' unanimous responses, Li Ye was very satisfied.
"Okay, since everyone trusts the prince, he will definitely not let everyone down.
But there is one thing I need to make clear in advance.
Since you are not willing to accept the command of the prince, you must do something to stop him.
I let you attack, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you have to charge forward knowing that you will die.
If you are told to retreat, even if your possessions are filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, you must retreat immediately.
Anyone who dares to resist the army will be killed!
Those who die on the battlefield will not only receive a full pension, but your family and the prince will also be taken care of.
Did you hear that?"
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
In fact, there is no need for Li Yegen to say these words again.
They had already heard in the military camp that they would never suffer any loss if they followed Li Ye into battle.
So I tried everything to stay.
Inspire the morale of the soldiers and lead the army to set off immediately.
The two brothers Lei Ying and Lei Zhan led the way in front.
We have already understood the enemy's situation clearly.
And the soldiers' weapons are quite sharp.
The weapons in their hands could cut through iron like mud, and everyone carried a crossbow on their backs.
These crossbows were specially made by Li Ye at a great expense.
The force of the crossbow can be adjusted according to the combat situation.
The bowstring on the first shot is very powerful and has strong armor-piercing ability.
After shooting the first time and adjusting the force, one person can string the crossbow.
This way the full power of the crossbow can be unleashed.
The situation on Qin Qingxue's side is very unsatisfactory.
㱗Thirty thousand troops were gathered on the front line, and more than seventy thousand people were united.
However, the soldiers' combat quality, weapons and morale were all extremely low.
Facing the enemy's attack, Qin Qingxue had no choice.
She now has to win a battle to boost the morale of all the soldiers.
Otherwise, I might not even be able to defend.
㰱Wushuang had not yet had time to contact the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion, and had to hide his plan.
I had no choice but to agree to fight.
After all, you have to act out the whole play and fight hard so that people won't suspect you.
The only advantage is that the Annan army has become much more dispersed since it occupied a large number of cities.
The number of enemy troops in front of us is comparable to that of Dayuan’s army.
In addition, with the city behind them, even if they were defeated, they could retreat back to the city to defend themselves.
It can be said that this battle is invincible.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Qingxue formed an attack formation and launched an attack towards the enemy.
This formation is a very standard infantry formation.
The archers were at the front, raining arrows down upon the enemy army.
The rear soldiers launched a charge, and the cavalry went around and launched a fierce attack from the flank.
Being attacked by a fierce rain of arrows.
The Annan army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
After the army attacked Guodian, with the support of the cavalry, it was immediately defeated.
Qin Qingxue was overjoyed seeing this.
I had been prepared for a tough battle, but I didn't expect the enemy to be so formidable.
"Soldiers, charge!"
Qin Qingxue had become so excited that he led his own troops into battle personally.
He wanted to wipe out tens of thousands of enemy troops in one fell swoop.
㰱Wushuang felt something was wrong.
The enemy was defeated too quickly.
No matter how poor their fighting capacity was, an army of tens of thousands could not be defeated so easily.
If this were the case, the previous cities would not have been easily conquered.
"Be careful, don't chase too deep! This might be a trap set by the enemy." Wushuang reminded.
Even if Annan attacks the Dayuan Dynasty, it has the support of Yunlu Pavilion.
There were even people from Yunlu Pavilion in the Annan army who were there to help with advice.
The real decision-making power still lies with the commander-in-chief of Annan.
Qin Qingxue pressed all the chassis onto the platform.
A failure could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Qin Qingxue desperately needs a big victory to prove her strength.
I didn't take Wushuang's words to heart.
"I know in my heart that as long as we defeat these 70,000 to 80,000 enemy troops, the Annan army will regain the initiative.
We must seize this opportunity.”
After Qin Qingxue finished speaking, she led her personal soldiers to the front.
Her martial arts skills were indeed not bad. She took the lead, slashing back and forth with the sword in her hand. No one could defeat her in one round.
Even if the enemy is wearing armor, they cannot withstand the sharpness of the sword.
The enemy was killed and retreated step by step, and the defeated army fled desperately.
Qin Qingxue led his army to kill all the way.
At first, Wushuang thought it was a trap set by the enemy.
Once they encounter terrain suitable for an ambush, they will immediately stop Qin Qingxue and stop the army's attack.
But after chasing for a long distance, they had already killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.
This doesn't look like pretending to lose.
No matter what kind of trap or scheme it is, it's impossible for so many people to die, right?
There is no more scruples at the moment.
Try your best to kill the enemies.
After chasing for twenty miles, the defeated Annan army fled to a mountain.
Attacking from the bottom up is already at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the Dayuan army was very tired after chasing for so long.
Only then did Qin Qingxue order his troops to retreat.
This great victory is enough to boost the morale of the army.
And establish prestige in the army.
From now on, no one will question my orders.
Qin Qingxue's face was full of joy. She didn't expect that the first battle would go so smoothly.
"It seems that the Annan army is just like this, completely vulnerable.
The 50,000 troops the emperor gave me are a bit too many.
With an army of 30,000, it would be enough to defeat the Annan army."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either! I don't know what the defenders are doing. They were defeated by such an army."
㰱Wushuang also didn't understand at all.
Is the gap in combat effectiveness between the northern and southern armies so huge?
It was very difficult to deal with the northern enemy, as we always had more numbers to defeat the smaller ones.
But when we fought in the south, the enemy was vulnerable.
I couldn't believe the victory before my eyes.
㰱Wushuang had just finished speaking when it was as if the enemy㱗 responded to him.
Suddenly, a huge elephant roar sounded on the mountain.
The earth began to tremble slightly.
Looking closely, I saw a line of elephants rushing down from the mountain.
There were several soldiers on the back of each elephant, holding various weapons.
Qin Qingxue and Wushuang's expressions suddenly changed.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"
