Chapter 698: The Turks Ask for Help
"General, the Turkic cavalry is watching the battle from the sidelines, and if we continue like this, we will be dragged here, in case they attack together, we will be in trouble."
The generals of the Xiao Cavalry Guard are all trying to find a way, but they haven't thought of it until now, and they are all counting on Yuwen Chengdu.
"Now that the Turkic cavalry is divided, let's just keep an eye on their main forces and horses, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, as for the soldiers and horses in Jiangling, let them shout outside."
Yuwen Chengdu also understands that although the other party is cooperating, it can be seen that they still have reservations.
As long as they don't fight hard with the Jiangling soldiers, and the other party doesn't really have the courage to attack them, the attacks on both sides in the past few days are basically not of much interest.
Overall, it is the Horse Guards who have the advantage.
The Xiao cavalry guard is an elite division, and it is able to fight with several times the enemy, and the generals want to challenge them with only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the 100,000 Xiao cavalry really looks up to themselves.
Instead, he was worried about what the Turkic cavalry would do next.
"General, the scout is back."
"General, the 100,000 cavalry of the Turks going south has been blocked by Du Fuwei and Li Zitongshi's 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the Turkic cavalry has been delayed, and the 100,000 cavalry will not be able to return for a period of time." The scout said.
Yuwen Chengdu fell into deep thought, Xiao cavalry guards are only 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if the other party has less 100,000 soldiers and horses, there are still 200,000 left, plus the Jiangling soldiers who are waiting for the opportunity to move.
He did the math in his head, and it was still too difficult for them to achieve further victories.
Just when Yuwen Chengdu was thinking of a way, the soldiers and horses of various forces were already approaching, and the scouts of the Xiao Cavalry Guard quickly sent the news back.
Yuwen Chengdu was just worried about the time when he couldn't think of a way, and now there were no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he was ready to retreat at this time.
The positions of the three parties are different, and if there is no Turkic cavalry here, the cavalry guards will be the target of public criticism.
Yuwen Chengdu has the intention of withdrawing troops, but the new forces are really coming for the Turkic cavalry.
All of a sudden, the three parties became multi-sided, and Gangneung City was now truly surrounded.
"General, when our 100,000 cavalry was heading south, they were blocked by Du Fuwei's volunteers, and the scouts have come to ask for help."
The Turkic generals had a big head, and they rushed together for everything, and now there were several forces stationed near Gangneung City, and so far their investigation results showed that the total strength of the local forces was not less than 250,000.
Why are there so many, because I don't know who the people who came, counting the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, the total strength is really 250,000.
"General, we can leave now, and we can leave the Sui State when the troops going south meet." There are generals who give advice.
"Well, gather your troops and horses, and all go south."
The Turkic generals are not greedy for merit now, although they have lost money in cooperation with Jiangling City, but from the standpoint, the forces of the Sui State will definitely not tolerate them.
There was movement on the side of the Turkic cavalry, and soon the surrounding forces knew about it.
"General Tianbao, the Turkic cavalry is going to flee."
"Gather the troops." Yuwen Chengdu gave an order, their goal was to go, and they had to keep up.
Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's 70,000 troops suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with the Turkic 100,000 cavalry, but it was another army that delayed them.
That is the Youzhou soldiers in the coastal area, 30,000 Youzhou soldiers and the people led by Du Fuwei and Li Zitong caused huge losses to the Turkic cavalry.
Now there is not even a chance to escape.
After the Turkic cavalry moved south from Yanmen Pass, Li De had no intention of sparing the invaders, so he gathered new sailors and transported men and horses to the coast by boat.
There are a lot of soldiers and horses transported, so the transportation time is also very long, and there are a lot of financial materials and so on.
On the coastal side, he cooperated with the Zheng family to solve the problem of grain and grass, and only brought troops over to harvest after the Youzhou soldiers gathered.
The 30,000 Youzhou soldiers are just the vanguard, and the main force of Youzhou is still behind them, and this time Youzhou touched 80,000 all of them.
Ding Qilin took the lead, and when he saw the Turkic cavalry, he fought directly without saying a word.
At that time, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong were under the siege of the enemy, how could these people who had just gathered be the opponents of the Turkic cavalry.
If the Youzhou soldiers hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid they would all have become prisoners of the enemy by now.
"General Du Fuwei heard of your reputation when he was in Youzhou, and it is indeed worthy of your reputation when I see it today."
Du Fuwei saw that it was a young man who was talking to him, and the young man made him a little embarrassed.
Ding Qilin himself is the youngest among the lieutenants of Youzhou, and of course, in addition to being young, his ability is not small at all.
Ding Qilin still had a very good impression of Du Fuwei, even in the face of the Turkic cavalry, it was really not easy for the people they led to dare to attack.
Most of Du Fuwei's volunteers were untrained, and they were no different from the people with hoes, but they were brave men.
It is really not easy to use such soldiers and horses to fight with the Turkic cavalry like this.
"The general is polite, you are Youzhou."
Du Fuwei had to be curious, such a well-equipped army, except for the Xiao cavalry guards, that is, the Northwest soldiers and Youzhou soldiers, could do this.
Seeing these people's armor, it must be Youzhou soldiers, yes.
It can be guessed by the quality of the armor, there may be no more obvious than them except for the Youzhou soldiers, and the armor of ordinary soldiers is better than that of these generals, which is really unenviable.
"I am Ding Qilin, the commander of Youzhou, the main force of Youzhou is behind, these Turkic cavalry must be eliminated, I don't know if General Du is interested."
Ding Qilin is so direct, and now they don't have many advantages on their side, so there is nothing wrong with calling more people to share the benefits.
In Du Fuwei's opinion, this suggestion was like pie in the sky, he really didn't think too much about the benefits or anything, if he could drive these Turkic cavalry out, don't make trouble in their sphere of influence, they would burn high incense.
"Okay, drive the Turks back." Duvowe agreed.
Dare to fight the general, Ding Qilin knew that this person still had some guts, don't look at the current rebel forces There are many forces, in fact, there are really few people who can do things for the righteousness.
The 100,000 soldiers and horses trapped by the Turks saw that the new soldiers and horses were well equipped, and found that the opponent's strength was very strong in the battle, so they immediately chose to retreat, but they did not expect that the strength of the opponent's cavalry was not inferior to them.
In the end, he didn't escape in time, but he was still trapped.
The current situation is that they are trapped, the routes are all blocked, and they want to break the net, but they give up directly after seeing that the other party is all cavalry.
Fortunately, they have 100,000 soldiers and horses who are now surrounded, and with the number of troops, the other party has not yet launched an attack on them, so it is obvious that they want to surround them.
Seeing this situation, scouts had to be sent to ask for help.
