Li Yuanzhao walked out of the tent quickly.
Seeing that the three thousand Jin Yiwei had gathered together and were full of fighting spirit, they couldn't help but nod.
"Hel me on the horse."
Zhao Lie silently stepped forward and pushed Li Yuanzhao onto the horse.
It's not that he's too weak, it's that he's heavily armored. Ordinary soldiers would need two people to mount their horses.
If ordinary soldiers were not big beasts like the Jinyiwei and trained with heavy weights, they would probably perform in the same way.
After mounting his horse, Li Yuanzhao said loudly: "Who was out investigating just now? How long will it take for the enemy army to get here?"
One of the Jinyi guards replied loudly: "It's Beizhi who is out to inquire. According to Beizhi's prediction, the enemy will be here in about half an hour."
Li Yuanzhao nodded, glanced around, and said, "Follow me to a high place to wait for the enemy."
.....
Utu was depressed and led his troops in front.
The morale of the soldiers behind him also dropped to the bottom.
A huge defeat, an unprecedented defeat happened to him, and the speed of defeat was beyond imagination.
It's really hard to accept that you rushed into the big scene with great momentum, only to be beaten back at a faster speed.
Fortunately, the opponent began to penetrate deep into the grassland, and with the remaining troops, they were still able to fight.
These days, the Jin army has been frantically fighting guerrillas with the Dajing army.
But the hateful thing is that the opponent's armies are all gathered together and will almost never walk separately.
Once one's own cavalry forms a battle formation and begins to charge towards them, the powerful and unpredictable weapons will once again exert their power on the battlefield.
Utu felt angry and helpless in his heart.
This is not a crime of war! If it weren't for those weird things, no matter how many troops Jing Guo had, they might not be his opponent. These weaklings still wouldn't dare to confront him head-on.
But no matter how much he scolded in his heart, he would only be incompetent and furious. After all, the enemy would not actively cooperate.
Now he was leading the remaining heavy cavalry and other cavalry, and supplies were running low.
If there are no accidents, there should be a tribe not far ahead. Go find some supplies and then turn back and start a battle with Jingjun!
The opponent's powerful weapon is being used less and less, and it should be almost exhausted.
In addition, they go deep into the grassland, so logistical supplies are bound to be a problem.
As long as we continue to delay, there may not be any chance of counterattack.
Utu was already extremely tired, but he still managed to cheer up a bit when he thought of this.
He is the chosen one, the first legendary figure in the history of the grassland to rule the tribes.
He is the emperor!
From a tribal warrior to today's status step by step, he can successfully overcome every setback, and this time is no exception!
Thinking of this, Wutu drew out his long sword, pointed it straight to the sky, and shouted behind him: "Soldiers, cheer up! The enemy has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the grassland, and their supplies will be greatly consumed. In three days, it will be When our army counterattacks.”
"I swear to heaven that I will lead you back into the pass, massacre everyone in Jingguo, and avenge the dead soldiers of Dajin!"
The Jin Bing behind him was also extremely tired, hungry and tired.
However, seeing His Majesty in such high spirits and fighting spirit, everyone was inspired by it.
They all echoed.
After regaining their morale, the large army continued to trek forward.
As time passed, tents began to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Utu's eyes flashed with joy.
Finally found it, but seeing that the scattered tribe is not large in size, we can only temporarily relieve our urgent needs, take a break here and continue searching.
The soldiers behind him were also very excited... There is no need to eat solid food here. Although it is not full, at least he can drink some broth.
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon Wutu realized something was wrong.
The hoof prints on the ground are messy... Judging by the number, they don't belong to this tribe.
The guards on the left and right had begun to ask loudly if anyone was there.
Seeing no one answered, he began to rush into the tents to search.
Not long after, a group of tied herdsmen were brought to the front of the army.
Utu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened here?"
Seeing that it was one of their own, the herdsmen were overjoyed. Seeing that Wutu was wearing the most luxurious armor, they quickly said: "General! The enemies of Youjing Kingdom have killed here and robbed our livestock. Please ask General to avenge us."
Utu's heart skipped a beat.
Impossible. In order to prevent cavalry harassment, their large forces have always been concentrated together, and now they have divided their forces and penetrated deep here?
"How many people are there? When did you plunder and where did you go?"
The herdsman thought for a while and hesitated: "There were about two to three thousand people. Just not long ago, when they left, I heard sounds like they were going in that direction."
The herdsman stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.
Wutu followed the direction of his finger and looked at the hoof prints on the ground.
They were moving forward step by step, so why did they divide their forces? Why didn't he kill anyone after plundering the tribe?
These questions kept flashing in Utu's mind.
"If Jing's army comes out, follow me and chase him!"
It must be a small force. The large force is not that fast, and it is impossible for it to appear here. Now that he has 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 heavy cavalry, there will be no problem against thousands of people!
...
Li Yuanzhao chewed a piece of dead grass out of boredom and stood in a long row with a group of royal guards on slightly higher ground.
The Jinyi guards stared in the direction they came from with serious eyes.
Li Yuanzhao observed a circle and said loudly: "Keep your distance when the enemy is attacking. When I give the order, we should all throw the grenades out as hard as we can. Pay attention when lighting the grenade. I shouted to only throw one at a time. If they are outflanking them, be sure to throw them out in time." Adjust the formation.”
"There are twenty to thirty thousand people on the other side. Please keep your spirits up. Otherwise, you can imagine the consequences. Try your best to stay alive for me!"
Everyone loudly agreed, and Li Yuanzhao patted the three grenades on his waist.
He had already tried this thing in Taoyuan County. It was similar to what Mo Xiaohu said and was very powerful.
Throw it into a crowd and explode one at a time!
But it's just a pity that I didn't find higher ground. If it was thrown close, it would easily injure friendly troops.
"Hey, it would be nice if we had a shovel. Let's dig a ditch. Wouldn't it be much safer to throw grenades in the ditch? We can also avoid the enemy's bows and arrows." Li Yuanzhao said regretfully.
Zhao Lie on the side couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, how can you bring everyone with a shovel in a battle? You can only dig holes and it's such a burden."
"Tsk... That's true, but what if the shovel is bladed? It can be shoveled and chopped, and then the handle can be made into a musket. Wouldn't it be a good weapon?"
"Eh? It seems like it's really your highness's opinion!" Zhao Lie said with admiration.
Li Yuanzhao was feeling proud when bursts of smoke and dust suddenly appeared in front of him, and he quickly picked up the telescope to check.
Smoke and dust were still sweeping in, and in front of them was the Jin Army wearing heavy armor.
"The whole army is on alert, the enemy is coming!!"
The enemy troops on the opposite side are getting closer and closer.
Li Yuanzhao held the telescope tightly, suddenly bursting with joy, and shouted excitedly: "It's Wutu!"
"Well done! Brothers, get ready, it's time for us to make military achievements!"
