There is an extremely vast plain at the junction of Cochin and Khmer countries.
Zhao Rui had already studied the terrain here on the map and regarded it as an ideal battlefield. When he arrived here, he immediately ordered people to lay traps and set up camp here.
As soon as they settled down, the enemy troops arrived.
When the Drow King saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately shocked.
Originally this was supposed to be his home court, and it was also regarded as a preset battlefield early on. He should have arrived here before the enemy to set up the battlefield, but now the opponent has seized the opportunity.
At this time, the Drow King no longer waited and immediately ordered his Elephant Army troops to charge.
Although the merchant army was in a state of encampment, they had already made preparations. When they saw the enemy troops rushing over, they immediately began to arrange according to the trap formation they had laid out before.
King Drow was extremely excited at this moment. In his opinion, the merchant army had not gained a firm foothold at all, and this was the best time to annihilate them completely.
The accompanying generals also cheered, as if this battle was fully assured.
When they were about to rush forward, Zhao Rui immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
This kind of retreat itself was arranged in advance, and they had to avoid traps arranged in advance, so their formation seemed a bit scattered.
The drow king was so excited that he even raised his arms and started cheering, as if he had won the war.
But just as they were approaching the passage, the ground suddenly roared, and the elephant army led by them fell into the trap one after another.
Even the elephant the drow king was riding was stuck in the quagmire and could not extricate itself.
The next moment, the Shang army's crossbow troops, which had already been ready to attack, immediately fired their crossbows.
Piercing screams suddenly sounded, and most of the 200,000 Xiangjun troops they charged were immediately damaged, and the rest were frightened and dispersed by the sudden attack.
Zhao Rui rode on his horse and watched all this coldly. After the enemy's 200,000 vanguard army was completely defeated, he ordered the entire army to charge.
Fighting against people in these barbaric lands does not require any elaborate tactics at all.
It only needs to deal with its most elite troops, and the rest are lambs to be slaughtered, fighting with a fighting spirit!
Sure enough, the remaining armies of the other side completely lost the courage to fight, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they left the battlefield one after another.
Zhao Rui obviously had no intention of letting them go and led his army to catch up.
I don’t know how long the chase lasted, but all the merchant troops under Zhao Rui were chased away, and there were only a few hundred soldiers left around him!
And they also chased them to an extremely remote village and town.
This place is extremely quiet, without any human habitation. After nightfall, the surrounding area is even more deathly dark.
Zhao Rui didn't care so much, and asked his soldiers to search the village, and then arranged everyone there. He came to the courtyard in the middle of the village and used it as the command center.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the entrance of the village.
