Chapter 431: Begin to set up
At that time, Li De was not in charge of the Red Peony person who was responsible for recording, and the news was not confirmed to be true or false, but later the spies sent reported that Modong had found something different.
The soldiers and horses of Modong Fancheng were assembled, and 100,000 soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, and the news was brought back to Youzhou through the merchants who came and went, and the Turks did not pay attention to the secret matter at all.
What they pay attention to is strength to speak, and enough troops can allow them www.bkxs.xyz to do whatever they want.
The spies who returned from Youzhou City passed the news back one after another, and through the news of the prince of Jinlou, it seems that the Turks raised troops to Sui this time for some purpose.
I'm afraid that there will be a bit of a big war in the territory of the sixteen states of Youji.
Li De's soldiers and horses are not many, and he has only been trained for more than a month after 30,000 new recruits, if it is really 100,000 soldiers and horses who come to attack the city, whether he can hold it with the defense of Youzhou City really can't be concluded now.
Previously, Luo Yi's 2,000 soldiers and horses lost more than 500 in battle, but they were just defending to the death.
In the Governor's Mansion, the Governors in the war room were formulating tactics, and they all thought that relying on the solidity of Youzhou City alone was not a good way, and it would not be possible to make a big difference if the passive defense was trapped in the city.
"Governor, I have sent someone to the eastern capital to report the news, this time the Turkic 100,000 soldiers and horses do not know the specific meaning, and the sixteen states of Youji may be their breakthrough, and they can't prevent it." Hebida said.
"What's the closest piece of information?" Li De asked.
"News from Modong, Fancheng has gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, including not only Turks but also soldiers and horses from the Tiele tribe and the Northern Barbarians, and I am afraid that the actual number is more than 100,000." Yang Yuer said.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the defense must be defended, but after all, I think the strongest defense is to attack, keep attacking, the vanguard captain, you must make an attack and interception plan as soon as possible." Li Dedao.
"Yes." The lieutenants all replied solemnly.
As everyone continued to study the map and make a plan, Li De asked, "How are the recruits' weapons and armor made?" ”
Li De asked about these things, and the lieutenants continued to do what they were doing, because this kind of logistics matter was naturally the matter of logistics support guards.
"Back to the capital, at present, the weapons built in Youzhou have been able to meet the needs of eighty percent of the soldiers, and it is expected to be completed in half a month at the earliest." Yang Yuer said.
There are many craftsmen in Youzhou City, and there are many soldiers who are engaged in blacksmith work, and the conditions of the military city cannot be compared with the prosperous city with many people, but there is one point that the soldiers can basically meet all kinds of work in the city when they work together.
What Yang Yuer said is very conservative, in fact, in addition to the lack of armor, weapons can still be made in a short time, such as pikemen, and craftsmen create metal spear heads.
The roots can be handed over to the craftsmen to work on their own, which will make them much faster.
"Send a letter to Taiyuan Mansion and ask Tang Guogong to help, I don't think he will see Youzhou fall into the hands of the Turks." Li Dedao.
If Youzhou misses, it will threaten Taiyuan Mansion, Tang Guogong must be able to see this, and the processing of armor and the purchase of materials can provide a lot of money for the merchants and craftsmen of Taiyuan Mansion.
Tang Guogong will not refuse, how can he say that the second son of the Li family is still in Youzhou City, he can't ignore it.
At the same time, Li De also sent a letter to Pei Gong, and he will pass it on together, now is the time to need the support of his father-in-law's family, and the general production of armor can bring money to the Pei family and income will not be refused.
"Governor, Si Duwei is making cluster arrow ballistas over there, and five have been completed, according to the estimated two hundred, it is still a lot worse, and it seems that in half a month, it will be able to produce ten at most." Yang Yuer said.
"Let them try to hurry, but make sure the quality is guaranteed." Li Dedao.
"Yes." Yang Yuer responded.
"Dudu, the output of that workshop in the mountain behind Youzhou City?" As soon as Yang Yuer said it, she was interrupted by Li De.
"We'll talk about that later." Li De reminded.
Yang Yuer knew that the workshop in the back mountain of Youzhou was personally managed by Li De, and the things in it could be described as earth-shattering, and few people knew about it for the sake of secrecy.
"Prepare more supplies, we must make a complete strategy, bows and arrows, fire oil, we must prepare a lot, let the soldiers dig the moat." Li De continued.
The operations office is doing its own thing, the training of soldiers and horses, the deployment of materials, the patrol of the city defense, and the dispatch of scouts are all in a rational and orderly manner, and the commanders have a clear division of labor.
"Governor, General Luo Yi and Captain Li are here."
Luo Yi and Li Shimin have already heard the news of the vanguards, one is the general who defends the city, and the other is the captain who assists in defending the city, and the two came over to discuss the war.
When I first came in, I saw that the people in the room were busy, most of them were looking at the map, and I couldn't tell what these people were discussing.
Luo Yi was a little embarrassed every time he saw Li De, he was a general, and Li De was the governor, but now he wanted to make him, a general, a low governor.
If it weren't for the temporary appointment of the governor, Luo Yi would really refuse to speak, and in the impression of the people in Youzhou, the absolute governor is bigger than the general.
Going back to history, the Governor was a figure who managed one side with heavy troops, and people subtly had such thoughts in their impressions.
Even if Luo Yi is a general, he can't explain it clearly, so he can't explain it to everyone in the city in the future.
"Li Dudu, I heard that the Turks have gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to go south, and the war in the sixteen states of Youji will be together, how many people will suffer, but there is a strategy for the enemy?" Luo Yi asked.
"Now the only way to unite is to defend against foreign enemies." Li Dedao.
"Okay, I'm Luo Yi, Youzhou City is here."
"Brother-in-law, do you plan to defend Youzhou City?" Li Dedao.
"What do you think?" Li De asked rhetorically.
Li Shimin is a capable person, and now is the time to brainstorm ideas, and one more method is better than none at all.
"The defense is too passive, with the current strength of the vanguard, if you take the initiative to attack, it may be able to work wonders." Li Shimin said.
Li De listened carefully, what they are doing now is preparing for the initiative, but how to implement it is another matter.
"What about the specifics, do you have any ideas?" Li De continued to ask.
Li Shimin was silent for a while, because there were some things he couldn't say, and he would definitely have to use his life to take the initiative to attack, and he was not a pioneer naturally couldn't say such things.
"No, but if the vanguard wants to go out to block the enemy, I, Li Shimin, am willing to accompany the expedition."
"Well, I can understand your feelings, we are preparing to take the initiative, you two might as well think about it." Li Dedao.
Li Shimin had long noticed the various maps in the room, and the captains were discussing things with the people around him, and he knew that his ideas had already begun to be arranged.
