Chapter 703: The Convergence of Soldiers and Horses

"Governor, wait for the news that the soldiers and horses of various forces have met the Turkic cavalry, and they are exercising restraint, and according to the analysis, a big battle is about to occur."

"Yes, got it."

Li Dezheng was counting the list of supplies in his carriage, and this time the harvest was very large, and he had already sent a thousand cavalry to take the supplies by sea.

The purpose of cooperating with the Zheng family is to transport horses along the coastal line, which is risky, but the benefits are too great, and it is not safe to go by land.

"Grand Governor, the last of the loot has been transported."

"Okay."

After deployment, the next plan of action was all assigned to the captains, and the cavalry of Youzhou to explore the road had set off.

The Turkic soldiers and horses did not recover well after a day of repair, and there were always people attacking the camp at night.

The warlords will run away when they send their troops, and they will not be able to fight at all, and if they do not send out the pursuers to take the initiative to attack, they will bear a lot of casualties.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of Turkic cavalry was really large, I am afraid that I would not have thought about sleeping for a night, so the situation on both sides would not be very good.

The soldiers and horses who carried out the attack were also tired.

"Governor, if we continue to raise this, we will be dragged down."

"Gather troops and horses and rush out with General Ben."

The Turkic generals were already aware of the problem, and according to the plan they began to break through.

The combat effectiveness of more than 200,000 cavalry should not be underestimated.

When all the cavalry began to charge, they were like arrows from the string, and the pursuers in front of them were outnumbered but without horses, and they were hit by the herd of horses at the beginning of the battle.

"Rush out."

The Turkic cavalry was crazy, and no one was besieged by an enemy of equal strength and was not moved, and had to show courage in order to survive.

"Block them." The scene was chaotic from the beginning, with multiple forces stuck together.

Seeing this situation, Li Jiancheng has been looking for opportunities to raid on the periphery, they are all cavalry, and in order to preserve their strength, they did not charge.

Always wandering around the periphery, looking for opportunities.

The Wagang soldiers have a strong fighting spirit, and even the people led by Shan Xiongxin are very brave, not because they think there are many good benefits, but because they are so brave when they enter the battle.

For half a day, the two sides combined with five or six hundred thousand soldiers and horses did not stop, until the Youzhou soldiers led by Li De arrived, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the air.

"Governor, they've been fighting all morning."

The scouts told them the latest news they knew, and the two sides of the battle were really red-eyed in the morning, and according to the general statistics, both sides together lost tens of thousands of people.

The losses of the Turkic cavalry were relatively small.

Li Dedu saw Du Fuwei's volunteers who were fighting bravely in front, and also saw the few cavalry forces, but those cavalry were carrying the banner of the Li family, but at a glance on the periphery, they knew that they were drawing water.

On the Turkic side, the cavalry itself has the advantage, and the losses are relatively small, and it can be seen that those cavalry are trying to break out of the encirclement.

However, the number of chasing soldiers was too much, and they didn't rush out all morning, and they were already in danger.

"Array, block the back road."

When Li De didn't appear just now, the Turkic general really wanted to gather troops and horses to retreat, and the chasing soldiers behind were volunteers, and their strength was relatively weaker than the others.

These situations were seen by the experienced generals, and they wanted to retreat if they couldn't rush out of the front, they just needed enough time to repair, and it would not be too difficult to leave.

It's a pity that as soon as they had these ideas, they were shattered by Li De.

"Youzhou soldiers!"

The flags erected by Li De are very large, and the Turkic cavalry is very familiar with the banner of Youzhou, after all, the grievances between the two sides are very heavy.

"General, it's Youzhou soldiers."

"Youzhou soldiers are chasing after you."

The moment Li De's Youzhou soldiers appeared, everyone was paying attention, and they had heard too much about the news of this army.

The Turkic generals had strange expressions when they saw them, which convinced them that they had to rush out in a hurry and not be able to retain their strength.

"Rush."

"Rush out."

On the one hand, they are afraid that they will lose their first hand when they see the people who come to compete for interests, and on the other hand, they are afraid that the intervention of the Youzhou soldiers will put pressure on them to break out of the encirclement, and even make the plan fail.

The formation of the cavalry is not much worse than the cavalry of the Li family, and the cavalry of the Li family is completely defeated in terms of quantity, and the other forces are completely defeated.

"Big brother, why are they here?" Li Yuanji said.

Li Jiancheng really didn't want to answer, how did he know, but soon he felt that this time he really came to the right place, and what was he afraid of with the help of Youzhou soldiers.

Li Jiancheng didn't pay attention to the battlefield anymore, and immediately came to Youzhou Bing's side to get close to his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to come too, now the Turkic cavalry is bent on leaving, if there is anything we need to do, as long as we know it, we will go all out."

Li Jiancheng came over and set it off, they knew that there was no capital to talk about, so since this was the case, they took the initiative to condescend to others to help do things and share the benefits.

Li De knew what Li Jiancheng meant, according to the news of the scouts, the Li family came to the cavalry, and if they cooperated, they could improve their combat effectiveness a lot.

It's just that the spoils of war have to be divided.

Li De agreed without thinking about it, this kind of person who took the initiative to come over and ask to work, a little benefit, pros and cons don't need to think too much.

"Okay, it's just that the current situation is not a long-term solution to block the Turkic cavalry here, and people still have to let it go to maximize their interests." Li De said.

Li Jiancheng immediately understood what this meant.

The current battle seems to be a battle advantage, but the cavalry killed and their supplies will be protected by their people, and the battle for so long to see those who participate in the battle does not get much benefit.

Not only did they not get the benefits, but they lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Since it is a chasing army, then give full play to its own advantages, for example, they are all cavalry, and they can pursue it by letting go of the Turkic cavalry.

Compared with those who don't have horses, they can't catch up at all, and the war horse supplies are not all that they can catch up.

This is made up by Li Jiancheng's own brain, in fact, Li De sees that this is the only thing that as long as the other party does not send a large number of troops and horses to charge, they will not be left behind in defense.

So the purpose of letting them go is just to facilitate the pursuit, and there is really nothing else in mind.

But that doesn't affect what follows.

Li De has already asked people to prepare, the Youzhou soldiers have always been disciplined, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses come to fight, they are very serious.

The cavalry fought in close combat, and they were all dressed in equipment, small shields on their arms, spears for charging, and a layer of chain mail covering the horses to protect the horses.

The horses also have horns on their foreheads, which really look like unicorns, but these things seem to be decorated and are not actually solid iron horns.

The inside is a wooden cone, and the outside is made of iron hoops, which has a certain lethality when it collides.
