"Immediately mobilize five thousand cavalry to follow me out of the city. The remaining people will meet the enemy in the city! Wait until the opponent is killed and defeated, and then you attack again."
The city lord couldn't help but widen his eyes. The opponent had 50,000 extremely elite and powerful oxen cavalry, but Zhao Rui only used 5,000 cavalry and brazenly promised to defeat the opponent.
Ever since the Turks entered the grassland, they had never suffered a single defeat, and the Shang army had no choice but to let them slaughter them.
But Zhao Ruinai is the king of Zhao who brings peace to the world. There is no battle in this world that he cannot win, and he is already a god in the hearts of all big business people.
The city guard general was only suspicious for a moment, and immediately dispatched five thousand cavalry.
Zhao Rui left Ziyun in the city and swaggered out of the city with Zhao Weirui.
When the Turkic soldiers saw the merchant army leaving the city, they were stunned for a moment. They had fought so many battles, but they had never seen any city's merchant army take the initiative to leave the city to meet the enemy.
Before they could react, Zhao Weirui had already rushed forward on horseback. He swung the sin in his hand and chopped an ox cavalryman and his ox into two pieces.
The Turks were immediately frightened and hurriedly surrounded them, waving their maces and axes.
Zhao Rui took advantage of this moment to issue a few orders, and then led the cavalry to charge.
Zhao Weirui was like a god, rushing left and right among the Turks, killing more than a dozen people in a row.
However, she did not use her full strength and always had reservations.
When he saw Zhao Rui leading the cavalry rushing over, he immediately broke away from the contact and retreated to join Zhao Rui.
The moment the armies of both sides came into contact, the merchant army was immediately defeated and fled westward.
It may be that more than a dozen people were killed, or it may be that the merchant army clashed with them directly, which directly aroused the mood of the Turkic army.
They chased Zhao Rui regardless.
Ziyun on the top of the city and the generals who defended the city were stunned. They originally thought that the Turks would leave a part of their army to continue attacking the city, but they did not expect that all 50,000 men and horses ran over.
As a result, the plan previously formulated by Zhao Rui can no longer be used.
Ziyun thought about it for a moment, then turned to look at the general who defended the city.
"General, we can't wait here. We must immediately gather all the troops in the city to catch up."
The general who defended the city suddenly widened his eyes.
"There are only more than 20,000 people left in the city. If we chase them out, it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed! Our army is no match for the Turks in field battles."
Ziyun's pretty face suddenly turned cold and stern.
"His Highness already said before he left that he would be able to defeat the opponent. The previous plan was just to prevent the remaining Turks from attacking the city. Now that the Turkic army has gone to His Highness's side, we have no reason to continue to defend the city."
The general who defended the city still felt that something was wrong, and just as he was about to argue, Ziyun took out the Zhao Wang Ling.
"Now that I am the supreme commander here, I will lead all the troops in the city out of the city immediately, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
The general who defended the city was slightly stunned. Although he was a little reluctant, King Zhao's token was in Ziyun's hand and he had to listen.
Finally, the remaining army in the city marched toward the swamp.
The five thousand cavalry led by Zhao Rui were now approaching the swamp. Under Zhao Rui's order, everyone along the way discarded all their armor and even weapons.
When they arrived at the edge of the swamp, they threw all the remaining belongings into the swamp.
Zhao Rui then ordered five thousand cavalry to march in both directions along the edge of the swamp and arrived at two mountain forests not far away.
The equipment carried by the five thousand cavalrymen was not much to begin with, and after being discarded along the way, there was not much left, but this greatly reduced their weight.
After they ambush themselves in the mountains and forests, the Turkic oxen and cavalry arrived belatedly.
