C2 Wolfsbane
Ye Dong was woken up by the earth-shaking battle drums. The ancient people were honest. Although they would use some tricks sometimes, they would fight each other first and then start a new day of war. Nobody had even thought about sneak attacks.
If Ye Dong didn't care about whether he was righteous or not, he would take down the enemy first before saying anything righteous. Otherwise, it would take a lot of his life to come and go. Ye Dong was glad that he had such an honest enemy as his opponent. At least his first battle wouldn't be so hard. Although it was just talk on paper, it was still worth watching.
After yesterday's defeat, Great Dream's army had left the city. Behind them was the real world of Great Dream. Ye Dong had a lot of memories about the city of Great Dream.
Relying on his memory, Ye Dong drew a map on the paper. He ordered the soldiers to send a copy of the map.
It took Ye Dong more than an hour to get time to prepare himself, thanks to the fact that he had to come and go three times every time.
As expected, the terrain of Yanmen Pass was higher than that of the side, so it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, because the Great Dream's army was not large enough, they were attacked by the Turks. Even now, Great Dream did not have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. It was simply a pipe dream to try and force his way back into the city. As expected, the terrain of Yanmen Pass was higher than that of the side, so it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was simply a pipe dream to try and force his way back into the city.
The only thing he could do was to besiege them, but it would definitely lead to a fight to the death. Ye Dong had made a few suitable spots for an ambush.
Ye Dong turned to the soldier beside him and said,
"How many soldiers are left in the base?"
The soldier didn't know what Ye Dong was thinking, but he still answered honestly.
"Besides the veterans who have no fighting strength left, there are still nine hundred infantry and three hundred archers."
There were only one thousand and two hundred men. It would be impossible to ambush so many places. Ye Dong quietly moved away from the chosen spots, leaving only those far away from the battlefield.
"Let three hundred archers and two hundred infantrymen take possession of this plateau, and prepare these things as I have said. The rest of you, do as I say. "This way …"
Ye Dong pointed at a basin on the map. The mountains on both sides of the basin had turned the place into a battlefield. Ye Dong signaled the soldiers to come over.
In Ye Dong's memory, there were only three generals of the Turkic army. They were the first and third princes of the Turkic army, and a powerful general of the Turkic army. The third prince and first prince of Turkic were not the same concubine, and the king of Turkic was sick in bed. The other princes were not yet of age, and in order to become the next King of Turkic, the two of them were eager to show off their abilities in front of their subjects. The first prince was very happy. The third prince was very scheming and these two people were not much trouble for Ye Dong. The problem was that they were old generals of the Turk Empire. If he had not tried to stop them yesterday, the first prince would have chased Ye Dong to the camp.

"Vice General Ye Dong, this..."
The soldier clearly felt that this was against the path of war that he had always followed.
"The military order is like a mountain, I won't accept any doubts right now."
Ye Dong knew that it was difficult to change their minds in a short time, but he didn't have time to waste on them right now. The war outside was about to start.
"Yes sir!"
The soldier immediately stood at attention.
"War god speed, immediately give the order for them to set off, and you, what's your name?"
Ye Dong picked up his helmet. As a deputy general, he naturally had to be on the front lines when the war started.
"Little Zhaozhi."
said the soldier, running to the muster drum in the playground.
Ye Dong took his spear and got on his horse to leave the camp. Suddenly, a man stood in front of him fearlessly, blocking his path.
"Ye Dong, I don't know what you are thinking. Although you are sent by the king, but you have completely emptied the military base. What if you get knocked over and get beaten up?" Without food, we have no way out! "
This man was also a deputy general in the army camp. In terms of status, he was on par with Ye Dong.
Ye Dong knew that these people were used to prolonged battles. They were all after victory. If he did something dangerous like this, it would definitely cause some old generals to be unhappy.
"Retreat?" Behind us is the land of Great Dream. Losing the Yanmen Pass is the northern defense line. We aren't far from Japan when we were attacked by the Turks, so what path of retreat do you want? If we lose another battle today, then regardless of what kind of morale you have, don't you know that the only thing that can be called a defensive line is just three cities away from the capital? At that time, half of Great Dream's land would have already fallen, so the place where our soldiers would retreat to is hell for the common people. Behind us are tens of thousands of unarmed civilians.
Ye Dong knew he was bluffing, but he didn't say anything serious.
Ye Dong urged his horse forward. When they arrived at the battlefield, the war had already begun. Great Dream's generals held back the old generals of the Turkic Empire, while the two princes of the Turkic Empire swept the Great Dream's army on both sides.
Although the Great Dream's army was usually well-trained, it still had a lot of recruits. They lacked actual combat experience, and in a one on one battle, it was impossible for them to be a match for the Turkic. In fact, many of the Great Dream Army soldiers in the north couldn't even ride their horses.
The deputy general who had stopped Ye Dong had caught up with him. He lowered his voice and asked Ye Dong,
"Ye Dong, what do we do now?"
Ye Dong looked at the position where the three generals were sitting.
"You go back to support the third prince, I will think of a way to lengthen the front line between the first prince and the old Turkic general. If the old Turkic general comes to his senses and wants to chase them, I ask you to drag out the entire Turkic army here with the general."
"Alright!"
The deputy general rushed towards the third prince's circle of battle. Indeed, with a general commanding the Great Dream, the soldiers wouldn't be forced into such a sorry state.
Ye Dong also turned around and led a hundred men to the battle circle of the first prince.
The first prince recognized Ye Dong immediately:
"You were the one who spoiled my plans yesterday, why did you personally come to me today to apologize?"
The first prince spoke in Turkic, which was a bit like Mongolian. Ye Dong didn't know why he could understand it. Ye Dong raised his eyebrows.
"I'm just here to catch all the fish that escaped from the net yesterday!"
The first prince had a translator beside him. He translated Ye Dong's words to the first prince. The first prince looked at Ye Dong with anger in his eyes.
"How reckless!"
The first prince rode his horse and swung his machete at Ye Dong.
"Good timing."
Ye Dong waved his long spear to meet the spear.
As the blade and the gun clashed together, sparks were produced from the collision of the metal.
People around Ye Dong and the first prince started to fight again.
Ye Dong and the first prince had exchanged more than a hundred moves. Although Ye Dong was not very familiar with horse fighting, but he had superior martial arts skills and 20 years of orthodox training. Ye Dong thought that it was more than enough to deal with an ancient man.
Ye Dong jumped up from the back of the horse and stabbed the spear towards the prince.
The first prince had dodged Ye Dong's fatal attack. However, his clothes were cut open in front of his chest. He used the momentum of his sword to stab upwards at Ye Dong, who couldn't move freely in the air.
Ye Dong performed his martial art and dodged the attack from the first prince. He then got back on his horse with the help of the first prince's sword.
"Retreat!"
Ye Dong did not care about the prince when he got back to the horse. He led the surrounding hundreds of Great Dream Soldiers to a place not far away. He killed a lot of Turkic Soldiers along the way.
How could the first prince tolerate Ye Dong leaving safely after challenging him? He immediately forgot what the old general had told him at the beginning.
"Madman, where are you running to!"
The first prince chased after them with five hundred cavalrymen.
Ye Dong didn't turn around to answer, he just led a hundred men and ran.
However, it seemed that those who had followed the first prince were not reckless. When the first prince was about to follow Ye Dong into the ambush, someone called out to the first prince.
"First Prince, don't chase anymore. The basin is not to be recklessly entered from the front!"
The first prince was a reckless man, but he was not stupid. He stopped walking and looked at Ye Dong and the others who were walking into the basin.
Seeing that the first prince had not fallen into Ye Dong's trap, he turned his horse around and smiled at the first prince who had been led away from the army.
"You're not too stupid. You've finally realized that you've fallen into a trap, but don't you think it's already too late?!"
Ye Dong whistled and seven hundred infantry soldiers appeared from behind the first prince, blocking the way of the five hundred men.
"Humph, you think these seven hundred soldiers can stop my five hundred strong men's cavalry?!"
The first prince was still looking at Ye Dong with disdain. If Ye Dong hadn't known that the first prince was so proud of himself, he would have applauded Ye Dong.
Ye Dong knew that seven hundred soldiers were not enough to stop the first prince, so he just smiled and didn't say anything. He just directly slapped the first prince's face.
With Ye Dong's applause, the seven hundred soldiers put away their weapons, took off the pockets on their waists, and took out all the nails they could find in the Great Dream Camp. They then threw them on the ground.
Ye Dong looked at the first prince and said,
"Should the first prince dismount and walk over, or should he surrender and stay here?"
Without the help of the horses, the odds of victory were less than thirty percent for the five hundred people of the Turk against the seven hundred people of Great Dream, not to mention the fact that Ye Dong had planned more than seven hundred people.
The first prince smiled at Ye Dong's naivety and said,
"You want my Turkic heroes to be captured by you?"
The First Prince turned around and said to the five hundred men behind him:
"Do you dare to fight your way out with me? Since others look down on us, we will use the blade in our hands to tell them who is the true expert! "
The first prince didn't care about being attacked from the back, he just pointed his knife at Ye Dong. In his opinion, although Ye Dong's move had made him lose his way back, he was still trying to tie himself up. Ye Dong's hundred men had lost their support, so he thought Ye Dong was stupid.
"I vow to follow the first prince to my death!"
The voices of the Turkic soldiers echoed throughout the basin.
The first prince took the lead and rushed towards Ye Dong. The soldiers behind him also rushed over. The ones who had stopped the first prince looked at Ye Dong with calm expressions and wanted to stop him.
"The first prince …"
However, seeing that the First Prince had already walked far away, that person had no choice but to follow after him.
Ye Dong waved his hand and the hundred men behind him moved away from the first prince.
