A few hours ago, near Zhaodu.
Zhao Hai was wearing golden armor and riding on a tall and fierce horse, looking full of vigor and vitality.
In front and behind him, there were about 10,000 soldiers of the Great Zhao Army. Although they were not as good as the real elite soldiers of the Great Zhao Army, they were still able to form an army that looked quite impressive by selecting the tallest soldiers from the short ones...
It can be said that all the remaining elite troops of Zhaodu are here.
Zhao Hai, who led this "elite" army, became even more excited. Although it was his first time to lead troops, he was still fascinated by the sense of "mastery" of enforcing orders...
"No wonder my father likes to lead the army in person. It's really cool!"
A smile appeared on Zhao Hai's face. He had admired the legendary "Father Emperor" since he was a child. His lifelong wish was to become an emperor who could fight on horseback and govern on foot like Emperor Zhao Shao. He also thought about joining the battle force with Emperor Zhao Shao, and conquering the world together to unify the great China!
So at this moment, his mind was full of fantasies of conquering the world. He fantasized that he would lead a powerful army and be invincible, defeating the King of Tang, the King of Wei, Emperor Mu of Qin, and Emperor Wu of Zhou, and make them all piss and piss in fear, and beat them until they doubted their lives, and beat them until they were invincible when they saw him, and even kneeled down and offered their daughters to ask for peace...
Oh, the more I think about it, the better it gets!
Zhao Hai couldn't help but burst into laughter. Upon hearing the laughter, a third-rate general next to him came up and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, have you thought of any happy event?"
"Haha, I just thought of that group of Zhou soldiers, who attacked with 3,000 men, but were completely wiped out before they could even touch the edge of Zhaodu! Think about it, isn't this ironic and ridiculous?"
Zhao Hai truly lived up to the title of "child prodigy". He immediately had an idea and solved the problem directly.
Hearing this, the third-rate general also laughed and said, "Your Highness is right! However, although that group of people overestimated their own abilities, it also shows that Your Highness is wise and brave. Not only does he have strategy, but he also has courage! Your Highness is only twelve years old today, but he can command the army, remain calm in times of danger, judge the situation, counterattack the enemy, easily defeat it, and annihilate all the enemies..."
The last sentence made Zhao Hai's eyes light up immediately. Then, he started to be clever again: "Yes, although the enemy army has tens of thousands, they were still defeated by my attack. They are vulnerable! Our army took advantage of the victory and pursued them, and finally wiped out the enemy army!"
Hearing this, the third-rate general was stunned at first, and then almost cursed!
If we use a later saying, it would be - "Zhao Hai, are you so awesome? Was your family created by you?"
Destroyed tens of thousands of enemy troops? Isn't your lie a bit too exaggerated? Others lied by one or two times at most, but you lied by nearly ten times? Do you think all the civil and military officials in the court are fools
The enemy was completely defeated with one strike... You know, even the "legend" created by Emperor Zhao back then was not so exaggerated!
However, even though he cursed in his heart, the third-rate general knew what Zhao Hai was planning. He was just a little too anxious... Besides, Emperor Zhao loved him so much, maybe he really wouldn't expose his lies...
Therefore, this person thought about it and finally said: "Your Highness is right, this battle can really be said to be a classic!"
Influenced by Zhao Hai, he now has an expression that says, "Your Highness, take your time and enjoy yourself. As long as you are happy, that's all."
"It's a sure win anyway."
With this in mind, he continued to try to get close to Zhao Hai and flatter him. The young emperor of Zhao was fooled by this, and so were most of his sons. This was something all the officials of the Great Zhao knew...
In this way, Zhao Hai led his army forward while enjoying the compliments from his ears...
Finally at some point.
"Your Highness, according to the scouts' report, the enemy is less than five miles away from our army! Your Highness, please make a decision quickly!"
"Haha, just in time!" Zhao Hai felt hot all over when he heard the voice, and his eyes were filled with burning greed!
Your own legendary rise is about to begin!
After tonight, the crown prince of the great Zhao will be in our hands. Who in China does not know me, Zhao Hai!
Who doesn’t know it
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Zhao Hai immediately shouted, "All generals, listen up. The enemy is right before our eyes. Follow my orders. Attack as quickly as possible and annihilate the enemy. No one can escape!"
Upon hearing this, a third-rate general stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, judging from the situation, the enemy should be light cavalry. Should we wait for them to tire themselves out, use powerful crossbows to contain them, and then charge in?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hai was stunned: "Ah?"
Before he could continue to say "ah", another person said: "Your Highness, in this battle, which army will be in the front and which army will be in the back? Which general will command and which general will raid the battlefield? Which general will roam around to prevent the enemy from escaping?"
These words echoed in Zhao Hai's ears like flies buzzing. He felt annoyed and said subconsciously: "What's the point of all that nonsense? In war, isn't it just about rushing forward, each with a sword, and chopping all the enemy soldiers to death?"
As soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong and quickly said, "We have many soldiers and high morale, while the enemy is exhausted after coming from afar. Why would we care about tactics? Just charge and kill!"
"this… "
Hearing this, several third-rate generals felt that something was wrong, but before they could figure it out, a rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance!
The defeated army arrived in an instant!
"What?" Although he was full of confidence and high-spirited just now, when he really experienced military affairs and saw an aggressive army suddenly appear and rush towards him, Zhao Hai still subconsciously frightened and weakened his legs!
"Meet... Meet the enemy! Everyone, push forward! Push forward!"
At this moment, all the military tactics and strategies that Zhao Hai had learned in his daily life seemed to have disappeared in his mind. He just instinctively became flustered, pointing and poking his fingers randomly without any method.
Seeing this, how could the third-rate generals not know that this was just a straw bag who only knew how to talk about war on paper? However, before they could make up their minds whether to usurp the command, the powerful crossbows of the defeated army had already arrived!
Arrows rained down from the sky, killing and wounding a large number of Zhao soldiers easily like harvesting wheat, making the already chaotic formation even more chaotic!
Then there was a hissing sound.
A third-rate general was shot in the head by a feather arrow. He fell down with a howl, and blood spurted out, splashing all over Zhao Hai!
Zhao Hai... was terrified.
It was only then that he understood what the battlefield of war really meant...
"Your Highness, the enemy's crossbow has a very long range, great power, and is extremely strange. How can we resist it?"
"Your Highness... Our strong crossbow battalion has not even equipped its crossbows yet, but has already been annihilated by a wave of enemy fire. Should we dispatch the sword soldiers to defend us?"
"Your Highness, the enemy has suddenly changed their weapons! They are charging with spears, extremely sharp, and the front line is in a tight spot! Your Highness, please make a quick decision!"
