Chapter 700: Chariot Attack
Li Yuanji heard that there were so many soldiers and horses, and he was also glad that he listened to his eldest brother's words, 50,000 cavalry were behind, so was it still behind.
The soldiers and horses of the Li family stopped directly and waited for the pursuers to come over, but the soldiers and horses who came behind did not ask them about the situation at all, because they didn't want to make trouble because of the different camps.
The 150,000 soldiers and horses continued to pursue in this way.
When they saw the Turkic cavalry left, they were all excited, and against the 50,000 cavalry, they chose to take an adventure.
And so the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
"Big brother, when are we going to make a move?" Li Yuanji asked a little anxiously.
"Wait, do you think the Turkic cavalry is so easy to deal with?"
"Isn't it?" Li Yuanji didn't care, he was brave and ruthless, and he was also very ruthless when he trained soldiers and horses, and he never had the idea of being strong against the enemy.
Anyway, it's just a battle to find out.
"Third brother, what do you think of the strength of the Xiao Cavalry Guard?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Father said that the Xiao cavalry guard followed the king of Jin to fight in the south and the north, and his combat effectiveness was a strong soldier among the soldiers and horses of the Sui State." Li Yuanji said.
"None of them inflicted heavy losses on the Turkic cavalry to show how strong the opponent is, remember that no matter what kind of soldiers and horses you face, you can't underestimate the enemy." Li Jiancheng said.
"Oh, I see."
As soon as they stopped, they ordered the soldiers to rest and eat, and it seemed that they were no longer interested in the pursuit, and in fact they had to wait a long time for them to strike.
150,000 soldiers and horses against 50,000 soldiers and horses, it will take a long time to divide the victory and defeat when it really goes against each other, and it is difficult to say whether they can hold out to the end with the strength of these forces.
So at this time, it is better to let the soldiers rest.
The battle has already begun, and the Turkic cavalry is extremely strong, and the so-called cushion is to slow down the speed of withdrawal, and when it encounters the pursuers, it is blocking and pinning.
The infantry restrained the cavalry itself, and it was feared that it would be a long distance before they could pursue it.
Li Jiancheng expected this to let the soldiers rest, they wanted to be fishermen in the competition between snipe and mussels.
Wagang's men and horses were always following behind these pursuers, and there were many cavalry in their ranks, but the distance from the enemy was always maintained.
The effect of the pursuit of 150,000 soldiers and horses was not good, and the people at the front did not see the Turkic cavalry, so they kept chasing for fear of missing the opportunity to gain benefits.
"Li Mi, the other party is a cavalry, can we catch up like this, look at how many cavalry are among these pursuers, if this continues, people will definitely run away."
Some of the Wagang soldiers began to be dissatisfied.
Li Mi was very calm, just looked at the people on Shan Xiongxin's side and said, "Brother Shan, what do you mean?" ”
The Wagang soldiers are now divided into two camps, one side is headed by Li Mi, who has money and food, and he is the subordinate who took over Zhai Rang.
On the other side, there are forces such as Shan Xiongxin who have come to take refuge, and they are very strong, and there is a cavalry of 5,000 people.
The person who spoke just now just wanted the cavalry to send out to drag the enemy down, and then attack with all his might, but it was easy to say, if the five thousand cavalry really went out, I am afraid that it would be like being cannon fodder, and there was a great risk.
As long as they are not stupid, no one will do such a thing.
"Master Li Zhai, the number of cavalry of the brothers is too small, it is better to act together, so that when encountering the enemy, you can also use tactics, and you can attack and retreat when you are close, and you can cover."
"What Brother Shan said is that the brothers were too anxious just now, but we have a cavalry advantage that should play a key role at this time."
"I don't know what the owner of the village has?" Shan Xiongxin asked.
"We have cavalry, but we still have to send them out as scouts, and follow the enemy to deliver their news at any time, what do you think?" Li Midao.
Shan Xiongxin naturally didn't want the cavalry to take risks, but the owner of the village couldn't directly refuse if he said so, so he looked at Xu Maogong beside him, and immediately agreed when he saw him nodding.
Xu Maogong is Shan Xiongxin's think tank, and any decision will be made after discussing with Xu Maogong, which is one of the reasons why they have been smooth sailing.
Now they have just joined Wagang, and some time ago they encountered the transfer of power between Li Mi and Zhai Rang, and now they are still adapting, so it is normal to be cautious in doing things.
Li Mi didn't say anything else, he was familiar with Xu Mao, but he was not unguarded against Shan Xiongxin and these people.
Wagang sent out cavalry, which was faster on foot than on foot, and attracted the attention of the Turkic cavalry when they could slow down.
Then the Turkic cavalry launched an attack on them, and where could 5,000 against 50,000 be beaten, they chose to retreat as soon as possible, resulting in 50,000 Turkic cavalry directly attacking 150,000 soldiers and horses.
A scuffle is on the verge of breaking out.
The Turkic general received the news that the soldiers and horses were left behind, and the battle had begun, and he began to speed up with his main army to support.
Why did you want to leave 50,000 cavalry is decided after weighing the strength of the other party, and abandoning a few cavalry to delay them is a method used in life and death.
And now they just want to support, and when the soldiers and horses are successfully rescued, they will naturally be able to reintegrate the soldiers and horses along the way and leave the Sui State directly.
Du Fuwei finished repairing the soldiers and horses, and suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle, but at this time the soldiers were in good spirits.
Because they have Youzhou soldiers by their side, they feel down-to-earth and at ease.
The main force led by Li De himself has already made combat arrangements and is now waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Ding Qilin has been on the battlefield for a long time, and now he seems to be more stable, his face is calm when he waits, and he seems to have changed compared to his previous bloody performance.
"Governor of the Metropolis, the scouts have sent back the news, and the main Turkic force has been found fifty miles away." Ding Qilin said.
"Okay, let's attack." Li Dedao.
"Order!"
Ding Qilin rode away, and soon all the Youzhou soldiers were ready to fight, and the momentum changed suddenly, and then found Du Fuwei to get them ready.
Destroying these Turkic cavalry, there was no intention to count on others, if Du Fuwei and they had the courage to follow the attack, if not, it would not affect the Youzhou soldiers at all.
Their role was only to bring together the number of people when besieging the enemy.
"What!"
The drums sounded, and the Youzhou cavalry launched an attack.
Du Fuwei and the others did not watch the play and launched an attack, but they paid special attention to the fact that the front of the Youzhou soldiers were a large number of chariots, all of which were two-wheeled chariots drawn by four horses.
The sharp weapons extending from the axle make people feel creepy when they look at it, and when they really see the chariot and the cavalry fighting together, they will see a shocking scene.
This is nothing, the long logs on the chariot can be rotated, and the soldiers in the carriage are hiding in the carriage, and if the reins are not moving, they will think that there is no one.
