Chapter 513: Youzhou Battle Report
"Hurry up and protect Shibi Khan from the tooth tent and retreat!"
The Turkic generals didn't care about anything now, the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses had already left, Shibi Khan fainted, and if he didn't leave with people, he couldn't wait for the fire to burn.
Fools don't watch the flames burn to themselves, and they aren't stupid.
The tent was shifted, and the Turks were still packing up quite quickly, and the fire was fierce and ultimately failed to hurt too many people, but it burned a lot of supplies.
The Turkic soldiers and horses who left were all disgraced and smoked, and they had never been so embarrassed, and the generals were not in a good mood.
After losing the battle, where do you have the heart to think about other things.
"Chief, Shibi Khan has woken up, and he is anxious for the leaders of the tribes to pass." Herald the soldiers.
The leaders were chatting about the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, and they were very happy to hear that Shibi Khan had woken up, and hurried over, and as soon as they arrived, they saw that there were already a bunch of people around.
At first glance, they are all members of the Ashina family, and they feel that the situation is wrong, and this situation has a kind of meaning of entrusting the orphan, but the Turkic temporal department is not so simple for this kind of thing, and it can be changed because of the Khan's words.
After all, the strength between tribes is really hard to say when who is stronger than whom, and there are too many variables, and they have a common characteristic of surrendering to the strong.
"Shibi Khan, what do you need us to do?" The generals all gathered outside and asked directly.
After watching the people of the Ashina family disperse, they found that Shibi Khan's complexion was very good, and it didn't look like something was going on at all, and in the eyes of the generals, it might be a return to the light.
"I'm not a man to fall easily, this is a battle, now I order the gathering of Turkic soldiers, since those small tribes are so unbearable, it is only worthy of effort."
Shibi Khan's momentum directly made the generals serious and responded in unison, and they only now had some courage regained.
The Turks immediately formulated a strategy, that is, to send troops to annex the small tribes to the Turkic tribes.
Shibi Khan was not shocked by the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, that is, the vanguard, the original Turkic cavalry was strong and had never suffered such a defeat.
As a Turkic khan, he must regain this face, the main thing is that he sees that the Turkic cavalry is not strong enough, and if he wants to get face back, he must improve his strength.
So the strategy began with the annexation of the Turkic tribes.
Hebida and the others, who had already left, did not know that the turning point of history changed at this moment, and the Turkic Shibi Khan realized the danger, and there would be a bloody storm in the next time.
He Bida and the others were happy, Luo Yi brought all the people back, and when they heard that the Turkic tent did not send troops, the people were very surprised, and they really didn't know what the Turks thought.
But none of that mattered, because their purpose had been achieved.
A large number of war horses and a large amount of supplies were harvested, and the armor of the Turks basically did not miss a piece of iron when collecting the spoils.
The large amount of supplies has repeatedly slowed down the rush to the road.
But there is no way, this is the current situation of the vanguard, the chariots protected by the Yanyun cavalry are now unable to fight, and they are all used to transport supplies.
There was no longer a chariot, and the whole vanguard became a transport brigade, and many horses were used to carry armor, and the more dangerous it was to slow down.
It was useless for Hebida and the others to be in a hurry, but they didn't know that the Turks really wouldn't chase after them, because they had already retreated.
But caution is the best, this is the discipline of the vanguard.
The Yanyun cavalry then assumed the role of a guard.
The Turks failed to send people to Liaoshui to participate in the battle, but this still did not change the defeat of the Sui soldiers and horses again.
Millions of soldiers and horses of the Sui State fought in Liaoshui, and the terrain and environmental factors made them lose again and again, even if there were many people, it was useless, and they did not advance an inch in just one month.
Instead, Goryeo was allowed to use tactics to delay the battle and fall into passivity.
Goryeo's strategy is not clever is to defend, delay time, they know very well the situation of the Sui State, millions of soldiers and horses have to eat and drink every day, even if the Sui State is rich, but if the supplies cannot be transported, they will also starve.
This approach has already succeeded once, and they believe that the same tactic will still work a second time.
The state of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State is very bad, they have a large number of soldiers and horses, and the logistics materials are all dependent on the speed of transportation by the people, even if they can keep up, but they cannot be enough to supply the consumption of millions of soldiers and horses.
Under this kind of forcible suppression, many people have been lost on the road, saying that it is lost is actually fleeing, so tired of transportation, it is better to really flee for their lives.
Many people are not stupid, and if they can't get the supplies to them in time, they will be responsible, and with their current situation, it is simply impossible to do it.
If you usually transport some supplies, forget it, if you don't transport materials for the soldiers and horses of the Sui State in time, you will lose your head, and those soldiers and generals don't care what you do, as long as you can't meet their requirements, there is nothing to say.
If you want to save your life, you can simply run away, anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and many people have fled to live like a Turkic territory after escaping.
Although they are not friendly to the people of the Sui State, it is better to live than to give their lives, and then there is to be a bandit with their hearts, but with their courage, can they really do the thing of robbing the house.
No matter what they think, they have to make a choice anyway.
It was more than half a month after He Bida and the others came back to Youzhou City, and the battle was amazing, but the battle report could not be written so gorgeously, because Youzhou thought that the governor was the leader, and this operation belonged to Youzhou, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court.
However, the battle situation still had to be clearly explained so as not to cause misunderstanding, so the battle report was quickly sent to Gangneung.
Emperor Yang of Sui looked at the battle report, originally the matter of Liaoshui made him angry, but now the good news finally came, but the situation still made them very angry.
Because the Youzhou soldiers and horses killed 30,000 Turkic soldiers and horses this time, how could this kind of combat feats make him not afraid.
The reason why Li De wrote was very simple, he found that the Turkic soldiers and horses came to invade Youzhou, and then sent troops to fight, it was so simple, there was not much else except killing the enemy.
This doesn't take much at all, Emperor Yang of Sui will know sooner or later, and I believe that the imperial court has the strength to know the details of the battle.
Anyway, they can't seal the official, and they all understand that this is a spontaneous order from Li De in Youzhou, even if there is a suspicion of supporting the army and respecting himself, the emperor still doesn't want to continue like this.
With the strength of Youzhou City now, no one can shake it, even if it causes Emperor Yang of Sui to be jealous, it is a reasonable thing, even if he surrenders softly, can he offset Emperor Yang of Sui's suspicions.
Obviously not, so it's better to have a direct showdown like this, at least after showing the strength of the vanguard, it can reduce a lot of trouble.
Emperor Yang of Sui is a shrewd person, how can he not know.
