The team of 10,000 people means that the Song army has to kill three people by one person, which is a great burden for the recruits. However, if there were only 5,000 people on the opposite side, each soldier of the Song army only needed to kill one Yue soldier to defeat the opposing army.

What's more, after a while, once Xie Feibao led the team back behind him, the troops on the opposite side would definitely fall into chaos, and it would become easier to take them down.

However, just in case, Cai Dao also deliberately left a passage in the very center of the entire formation that could only pass through one person. Where was the most proud artillery unit under his own command. In case, the other party's generals do not play their cards according to common sense and use the ultimate weapon of the Great Yue Kingdom, the elephant cavalry, then it is very likely that their own army will collapse immediately.

Fortunately, Li Zhongbao did not bring elephant cavalry with him this time.

There is indeed such a small group of elephant cavalry in his military camp, but Li Zhongbao sent his troops in a hurry this time, and the sky was not bright, so if he pulled the elephant out like this, the elephant was not as easy to control as the war horse, once there was an accident, if it could not be controlled, the elephant would go crazy, and no one could stop it, once it disturbed the nobleman in Thang Long City, even Li Zhongbao himself could not bear this responsibility.

Now that he knew the approximate number of the opposing troops, Cai Dao was afraid to inform the Liu brothers at the first time, and he did not have to come back to help them, but continued to detour from both sides.

The task of setting fires everywhere was not carried out in a hurry, because judging from the current situation, those spies who had escaped after setting fires before had not been able to convey the news directly to the high-ranking generals or the palace.

It's just dawn now, and it's very difficult to get the news to the palace.

Cai Dao also deduced this information from the number of troops on the opposite side.

Otherwise, the number of soldiers Cai Dao is facing now is not just 5,000.

Therefore, Cai Dao revised his order, the Liu brothers should not indiscriminately set fires along the road now, after all, this place is still a slum, even if it is on fire, the impact on the entire Thang Long City is very small. However, once Cai Dao's Song army encountered a larger force, the Liu brothers would be able to create a riot at this time.

Out of caution, Li Zhongbao did not immediately launch an attack at the first opportunity.

This also created time for Xie Feibao to lead the army to make a detour.

The two sides are in such a face-to-face stalemate, logically speaking, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Song army, once the troops in front of them are assisted by reinforcements, they will definitely drag Cai Dao's troops here.

Fortunately, things developed as Cai Dao expected.

Suddenly, in the rear of Li Zhongbao's troops, a house suddenly caught fire. The soldiers in the line looked in the direction of the fire in panic.

This is a signal that Xie Feibao and his troops are already in place, Cai Dao stood on the chariot, personally waved the military flag in his hand, and shouted: "General Xie has gone behind the enemy, brothers rush!" Come on! ”

And Cai Ban was on the side of the chariot and blew the suona, which was the charge of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.

I saw that the Song army troops were like tigers out of the cage, rushing straight to the opposite side of the Great Yue Forbidden Army.

However, the first to attack was Cai Bucket and those big cylinder hands who manipulated the big tube.

I saw Cai Bucket holding an oversized, strengthened version of the Divine Arm Bow in his hand, and it was directly aimed at Li Zhongbao, the brother of Li Zhongshun who was traitorous as soon as he appeared, and he was shot through the left chest by a thick bow and arrow shot by Cai Bucket. This position is the shooting method that Cai Dao handed over to Cai Bucket, although it may not be able to shoot through the heart, it can be the power of the divine arm bow, even if it is a hundred meters away, it can easily shoot through the armor of the opponent's general.

As a result, Li Zhongbao's own soldiers saw that his head had a child's arm-thin arrow shaft stuck in his chest, and there was like a salted fish washed ashore by the sea, and his mouth was spitting blood foam, and he was not alive at sight.

The first time they lost their own manager, the situation of this team can be imagined chaotic.

Wu Yanjiao immediately stood up and shouted loudly, trying to wake up these panicked soldiers, but unfortunately, he was greeted by a large cannonball.

Strictly speaking, these large cylinders are simply defective products, such as hitting a target as big as a city gate and a city wall, and there is no problem at all. However, if you want to directly hit the relatively small target, it will be very difficult.

It's just that a horse is standing there, and a team of well-trained big barrels with big barrels wants to hit this horse, let alone a hundred meters, even fifty meters is not at all possible.

But this martial grudge may be a bad thing to do too much, one percent, or even one in 10,000 probability that can not be directly hit, was drawn by him, a large cannonball shot directly into his waist, blocking his waist and cutting it into two pieces. The soldiers who had just wanted to gather around him were completely devastated.

The roaring sound of the big pipe, coupled with the fact that his two commanders died so miserably, it was logical that the entire army collapsed.

There were a large number of fierce Song troops in rapid pursuit, and in front of them there were hunters on the beams of the houses, on the courtyard walls, holding crossbow arrows in their hands and desperately firing crossbow arrows with cold light at them.

There was no way, these hasty soldiers had to break through to both sides.

In the end, this elite force of 5,000 men collapsed at the touch of a button, and less than 200 people actually died on the spot, and more than 1,000 were captured, and the remaining soldiers all fled from both sides.

After the Song army chased two hundred meters, Cai Dao asked Cai Ban to blow the rallying call, and no troops pursued him.

For the 1,000 people who were captured, Cai Dao knew that this was not the time to be able to be benevolent, so he immediately ordered all the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers who did not kill the enemy on the battlefield to kill all the 1,000 descendants, and no one could be an exception.

And those archers are far away when they shoot the enemy, so even the new recruits have no psychological barriers, and I believe that after this battle, they will no longer be nervous and their hands are shaking.

On the other hand, the swordsmen and pikemen who had to face the enemy head-on some of them became quite uncomfortable after their first killing.

And the enemy's head is the medicine that quickly heals them.

Moreover, Cai Dao did this, which was also a helpless choice, he brought too few troops, and the people recruited by the money were not yet in place. He simply didn't have the extra manpower to take care of these surrenders.

It is ominous to kill prisoners, and the people who slaughtered the city are still living an extremely nourishing life, so after Cai Dao gave this order, there was no mental obstacle at all.
