Zhang Han was completely stunned.
The 20,000-strong army encountered an enemy force of 150,000 in Annan. After two battles, they managed to kill 30,000 of the enemy.
It seems a bit outrageous anyway.
Seeing the look of surprise and suspicion in his eyes, Zhao Wudi said calmly, "Could it be that General Zhang doesn't believe what I say?"
"I wouldn't dare! General Zhao would never lie! But I just can't imagine how you can defeat the enemy with only 20,000 troops!"
"This is a long story, but the enemy should be divided and pursued separately!
We set up an ambush and took the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
And also found a way to defeat the cavalry.
This is the only way to return home smoothly!
However, the cavalry that came from Annan are indeed powerful, unless their weaknesses are found.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to come here!"
Zhao Wudi still felt a little frightened when he thought of the momentum of the cavalry's charge.
Dozens of big boars ran and charged, and the earth was shaking.
The neighing of the giant rooster even frightened the war horses.
If these war horses had not undergone rigorous training, they would probably be frightened and flee in all directions when facing the big beast.
"What? You actually defeated all the cavalry?" Zhang Han was completely shocked.
An expression of great sorrow and indignation appeared on his face: "We were defeated by the Annan cavalry.
We had already defeated the enemy, but when the cavalry appeared, they broke through our formation.
All the soldiers tried their best to stop them, but they were completely defeated."
"Don't worry, the Annan cavalry will be completely useless from now on.
The small country of Annan actually dared to attack our Dayuan.
They will pay the price they deserve!"
Zhao Wudi said coldly.
"General Zhao, can you tell me how to deal with the cavalry?" Zhang Han asked hurriedly.
Zhao Wudi did not answer directly, but looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye nodded slightly.
Zhao Wudi then said: "The big monster is huge in size and has very strong combat power.
But it has a weakness! It will panic and run away when it hears the sound of gunpowder explosion.
It was His Highness who asked us to prepare the fireworks and gunpowder in advance.
When the cavalry charged, they ignited gunpowder and threw it in front of the cavalry.
The explosion caused the demons to flee everywhere, even attacking Annan's own army.
It was precisely because of this method that we were able to break through the blockade of the Annan army."
"So that's how it is! How did you find out?"
"Even if His Highness the Sixth Prince came up with a solution, I wouldn't know about it."
Li Ye said, "This is something I accidentally saw in a book before.
Not only big monsters, but many beasts are also afraid of sudden loud noises.
I heard that the Kingdom of Annan used large 鯄 as cavalry, so I asked people to make preparations in advance.
I didn’t expect the effect to be so good! "
Li Ye made up a random excuse, but the others didn't doubt it.
After all, Li Ye has lived in the capital since he was a child.
I have been to the south from 㮽.
It is impossible to have ever seen a big demon.
Zhang Han was full of admiration and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to be so well-read. I admire you."
"Nothing, just some useless books!
Real scholars simply disdain to read it!
It’s just a coincidence!”
"Your Highness is too modest! It was precisely because of this coincidence that we were able to find a way to defeat the Annan army."
Zhang Han said quickly.
But he knew in his heart that it was definitely not a coincidence.
The group chatted as Tianqi was about to arrive in the city.
Qin Qingxue then brought people out to greet them.
Qin Qingxue was shocked when she saw the scars on the soldiers' armor.
Originally, she suspected that Li Ye had not entered Annan at all.
It was just a trip around the border and then back.
But looking at the appearance of these soldiers, it was obvious that they had experienced a very fierce battle.
Qin Qingxue's heart suddenly tightened.
If Li Ye really invaded Annan, he would force Annan's powerful army to retreat.
What a great feat this would be?
This means that Li Ye's ability to lead troops and fight is definitely top-notch in the court.
Qin Qingxue couldn't believe it at all, but the facts were right in front of her.
After exchanging greetings.
Qin Qingxue still maintained an extremely arrogant attitude.
“I heard that you led your army to invade Annan. I was very worried when I heard the news.
Your Highness, please don't do such risky things in the future.
If there is any damage, I will be held responsible."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I was planning to inform you!
At that time your city was surrounded by enemy troops.
Furthermore, the enemy is too numerous, and my 20,000 troops coming to the rescue won't be of much use.
So after thinking about it, the only way was to take advantage of the lack of military strength in Annan and attack Guodian.
Only then can we force the enemy to defend themselves."
"Your Highness led an army of 20,000 into Annan as if it were no man's land.
Could it be that Annan’s military strength is so depleted? "
Shi Wushuang asked.
Li Ye ignored his sarcasm and replied seriously, "Annan still has some troops stationed there, but General Zhao commands them well and uses them with godlike skill.
They easily defeated the enemy and captured several cities in a row!
If we hadn't heard the news about Annan's strong defense, we might have been able to attack their capital and capture the King of Annan."
Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang's faces instantly turned gloomy after hearing this.
Li Ye's words were like a slap in their faces.
It was obvious that they failed to hold back the enemy.
"So Your Highness is blaming us for being incompetent and missing the opportunity to fight!" Qin Qingxue stared at Li Ye angrily.
"I didn't say that! I just felt it was a pity!
What's more, you are trapped in the city, it's good enough if you can successfully defend the city.
It would be impossible to hold back an enemy force of 150,000 under those circumstances."
Li Ye said lightly.
"Marshal! Your Highness has found the weakness of the cavalry. We will no longer be afraid of their powerful cavalry." Zhang Han took the opportunity to say.
"Is it true or false? How does Your Highness know the giant's weakness?" Qin Qingxue didn't believe it at all.
"If you scare the big bastard with a gunpowder explosion, it will panic and flee everywhere.
Next time you see the cavalry, just prepare fireworks and gunpowder in advance." Li Ye did not hide anything and said it directly.
Qin Qingxue was still a little skeptical: "How did you know that when you haven't seen the big man?"
"Of course I read! I saw it in a classic book."
Li Ye didn't want to waste any more time, and said to Qin Qingxue: "There are many injured soldiers, so we should quickly settle them down and send the best doctors to treat them.
If you have anything to say, let’s go into the city and talk…”
"Okay!" Qin Qingxue nodded in agreement.
At this moment, her mood was like a raging storm.
I can't calm down at all.
Li Ye actually led his army to invade Annan and rescued their military strength.
Qin Qingxue really couldn't accept it.
The person she despised the most actually saved her and even made amazing achievements.
Then what is she, the commander-in-chief of the three armies?
