Chapter 434: Emperor Yang's reaction
But when they saw the iron fence gate that had been lowered in front of the gate, how could they break through the iron gate with a wooden hammer, and they tried it and it turned out that they really couldn't break it.
However, the iron fence has a slight deformation, after all, the city gate is very large, and a fence gate needs a lot of iron, thinking that the current price of iron ore, not everyone can be willing to use iron to build them.
"Governor, the enemy has retreated." Elevation Tract.
"We can't relax and underestimate the enemy, and we can't actually find out, I hope that Hebida and them can achieve new results." Li Dedao.
They pinned all their hopes on Hebida, Ding Qilin, Luo Song and others, and the results of the first attack on the Turks were not very large, and they would not have an effect in a short time.
But it doesn't mean that it doesn't work, the Turks have just attacked the city and lost, and they will definitely revise the method of finding a siege or even continue to besiege without attacking.
These things are in Li De's analysis, since this is the case, then it is necessary to expand the results of the war, and the results of the war refer to the logistical supply of the Turks.
"Light the wolf smoke!" Li Dedao.
The fire that had been prepared long ago outside Youzhou City was lit after receiving the news, and the fire was full of smoke, and people from a distance at the height could see it.
The Turks have just attacked the city unfavorably, according to the analysis they will regroup their morale, they are all made up of tribes, and if you want to fight continuously, you need to give them a chance to correct it.
The soldiers who were at the top were basically small tribes, and their combat power and belonging would be re-evaluated in the eyes of injury, and Li De expected that they would definitely not have time to think about logistics and grass first.
Their self-confidence does not come from their pride, but because even the tribes that escort the grain and grass are warriors, and the soldiers of the Sui State basically do not take the initiative to provoke them.
Habitual neglect is what makes them suffer.
What's more, the first attack did not achieve much success, which would swell the enemy, and if you want to defeat a strong opponent, one of the usual moves is to show weakness.
He Bida and the others did not deliberately release the water, and after understanding the opponent, they will go all out this time.
The Turkic scouts immediately reported to their chief when they saw the wolf smoke.
They knew that wolf smoke was a signal and no one knew what it represented, but they always had a bad feeling.
The fact is that Hebida and his vanguard men launched an attack on the tribe that followed behind and was responsible for the supply of food and grass, and this time it was not a fight and left, but a real battlefield fight.
He Bida brought the elite of the vanguard, and after receiving the order, they all had enough strength, they knew that this time the Turkic 100,000 troops were coming to Youzhou, if they could not turn the tide of the battle, the vanguard would fall into passivity.
He Bida is a general with a sense of the overall situation, Ding Qilin and Luo Song are brave generals, and their combination will give full play to their strongest strength.
When the sun sets, it is naturally dark and fast.
The Turkic soldiers and horses did not attack again, but besieged the city of Youzhou.
Li De was relatively relaxed on the city wall, and the people in the city were terrified, and after a few hours, there was no sound of shouting and killing outside the city, and they were also a lot more relieved.
It's a pity that the food was delivered to the soldiers, and Youzhou City was well stocked and it was a military city, so there was no panic, and the people stayed at home.
The cooking was all Li Shimin's soldiers and horses collected from the shore of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou, and the 1,000 people who had already jumped away and followed out of the city still had some combat effectiveness.
The remaining 2,000 people can only fight miscellaneous, their combat strength can only fight with the wind, and they can only waste arrows and add chaos to the high-intensity battle of defending the city.
So they became logistics, moving things, cooking and doing everything they could.
More people originally planned to let them go to the workshop to work and produce cement, but before Li Shimin could arrange it, the war in Youzhou City began.
The vanguard was full and began to rest.
Shi Huaiyi and Li Shimin pursued all the way with soldiers and horses, which really allowed them to find a lot of barbarians, and they had already experienced several battles along the way.
While they were dealing with the loot, the scouts came over and told the truth about the siege of Youzhou City, and they were faced with a choice.
"Captain Shidu, are we going back to Youzhou?" Li Shimin asked.
After he heard the news, he was thinking about what to do next, returning to Youzhou City was undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and it would be useless for the Turkic 100,000 soldiers and horses to go back with their people.
"We just need to do a good job of the things arranged by the governor, and now what we have to do is to pursue the barbarians who went to plunder, and strive to prevent these people from harming the people of the various state capitals." Shi Huaiyi immediately decided.
"Yes." Li Shimin thought that Shi Huaiyi was going back, but he was thinking about how to persuade the other party, but he didn't expect that people would have thought of it a long time ago.
Shi Huaiyi led the people to continue to pursue along the traces left by the barbarians.
Three days later, they were going to Youzhou City according to the plan.
In the palace of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Emperor Yang of Sui was enjoying the dance of the singer, and the battle report was suddenly delivered, and no one dared to stop the herald soldiers in the eight-hundred-mile urgency.
"The Turks deceived people too much, and summoned Yu Wenhua, the military department, and the general to the palace to discuss matters."
The military department Shangshu had long known that there would be such a result, and they hoped that Li De's vanguard would be able to fight for a longer time, at least let His Majesty make a decision.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has read the war report, and he can clearly distinguish personal grievances from Jiangshan Sheji, and now the Turkic 100,000 soldiers and horses are attacking Youzhou City in the south.
If the land was robbed, the Turks of the city and the henchmen of the Sui State outside the city were in great trouble, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty showed the battle report to several ministers, and asked calmly: "The Turks sent 100,000 soldiers and horses, how do you think they should deal with it, and can the vanguard of Youzhou City be able to defend it?" ”
"Your Majesty, Youzhou City was first besieged by the Northern Barbarians, the people were scattered, and it became a military city successively, and now it is difficult to defend in the face of 100,000 soldiers and horses." Bingbu Shangshu said.
"Yuwen Chengdu, what do you think?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked.
The secretary of the military department frowned slightly, this kind of war should not ask him about the secretary of the military department, how could he ask Yuwen Chengdu, who is in Wenchen, it is very inappropriate at this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can send troops and horses to help, Tang Guogong of Taiyuan Mansion is a good person, and the Li family's soldiers are strong and strong, and they can let them go north to block the invasion."
Although the military department Shangshu is angry, he has to say that he really deserves to be the first minister of the court, and what Yu Wenhua thinks of is the solution after their military department has discussed.
"Tang Guogong, it's a good idea, but doesn't this give them the opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses?" Emperor Yang of Sui said.
"Your Majesty, now that there are 100,000 Turks, even if Tang Guogong recruits soldiers for a while, he can't gather too many people, and the ministers can't guarantee that Tang Guogong's soldiers and horses can completely defeat the Turks, but it should be possible to enter the city for defense."
Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it, so that he could contain Tang Guogong and be able to hold Youzhou City, the way was really good.
The military department did not speak, and at this time he could see that this matter was not something he could participate in.
