Chapter 553: Reinforcements Arrive
The fighter is the attack of the Turks after repair, what to say waiting for the enemy to be ready to move, don't forget that now the vanguard, the Li family brothers' soldiers and horses together are less than 60,000.
The 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Turks lost nearly 10,000 in the battle, and they still did not have an advantage in numbers, and the 30,000 Xiao cavalry guards in Jiangling City were all elites, but from the attitude of Emperor Yang of Sui towards the Li brothers, it was already clear that they could not be counted on.
There is equal to nothing, and the reason for continuing to wait is to wait for reinforcements, from the additional soldiers and horses in Chang'an and Luoyang, through the transmission of news, I heard that there are at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Penglai's Laihu'er also rushed over with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
After the arrival of these 80,000 people, Emperor Yang of Sui will definitely not let the Turks continue to besiege the city, and will inevitably solve this crisis, and then it will be the time for them to fight.
Therefore, they are not afraid of the Turks regrouping, and the problem now is that they hope that the Turks can maintain their wolf nature and continue to fight Gangneung City to the end.
That way they will have a chance to participate in this battle.
After half a month, on the official road leading to Jiangling, the reinforcements from Chang'an and Luoyang finally appeared, and the scouts hiding next to the road found out at the first time, and only came out of the hiding point after these soldiers and horses passed.
At the same time, several scouts were in different places to rush back, and the scouts of the vanguard also had Turkic scouts.
Although the two sides saw it, the horses were too fast and in different directions, and there was no choice but to report the news to their respective leaders.
When Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi learned the news, they immediately informed the Li brothers, and after a long period of correction, the lightly injured soldiers could already continue fighting.
The Turks also recovered almost little.
In Jiangling City, Yuwen Chengdu personally informed Emperor Yang of the news of the news.
Knowing the arrival of reinforcements, Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to have recovered his spirit.
"Come on, you want to drive in person!" Emperor Yang of Sui's morale came out, and his aura also recovered a little bit of what he looked like when he was the king of Jin.
The Turks, who had 80,000 soldiers and horses outside the city and 30,000 elite soldiers and horses inside the city, and had less than 90,000 soldiers and horses, really had a good chance of winning, at least it was very simple to drive them away.
Of course, Emperor Yang of Sui has not forgotten that there are still 50,000 vanguard soldiers outside the city and less than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Li family, and as long as these are properly commanded, it is not a problem to defeat the enemy.
Emperor Yang of Sui was in a good mood today, and he regained a little courage.
"Where is the lonely Tianbao General?"
"The minister is here!" Yuwen Chengdu was very cooperative, and stood up from behind the very nervous civil officials.
"How's the war going?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the enemy has been besieged by 80,000 elite Sui State outside the city, as well as 50,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, 10,000 Taiyuan Mansion and assist from the side.
Yuwen Chengdu catered to the volume, he didn't say that the 30,000 Xiao cavalry guards in the city, after all, they were the guards around the emperor, who did he want to mobilize to defend the city, and Emperor Yang of Sui would definitely not be able to do it.
Smart people are the same as the people of his Yuwen family, they all talk about the key points, and the key to what the emperor likes to hear, just like the soldiers and horses just mentioned, the reinforcements of Chang'an and Luoyang are the main force, and the reinforcements of Youzhou and Taiyuan are all co-followers, to put it bluntly, after the victory of the battle, the credit is also royal.
In the court, although Yuwen Chengdu is a military general, he is very shrewd, at this time, of course, the emperor must be the mainstay, Emperor Yang of Sui said that the imperial drive is pro-conquest, this credit is to be written into the annals of history, and it must not be a joke.
"Hahaha, Yuwen Chengdu, Lone you lead 10,000 Xiao cavalry guards to fight, don't let Lone disappoint." Emperor Yang of Sui said.
"Command!"
Yuwen Chengdu's expression showed some excited expressions, as a general, it is his duty to go to war, every time there is a war, he is the escort of Emperor Yang of Sui, this kind of work he has long been unwilling to do.
Today, this is Emperor Yang of Sui deliberately letting him reap the merits, since this is the case, he is not polite.
Counting 10,000 elite horsemen, this strong team is said to be in the emperor's henchmen, but it is better to say that it has been trained by Yuwen Chengdu all the year round, and its combat effectiveness is needless to say that it is no worse than the tiger soldiers and horses in Youzhou.
And what kind of generals lead what kind of soldiers and horses.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Yuwen Chengdu directly let people release nine arrows in a row on the city wall, ninety-nine supreme, this number is symbolic, and ordinary arrows are at most three.
After nine arrows, the reinforcements outside the city received the signal and led the team to charge the Turkic camp, at this time Yuwen Chengdu led 10,000 people to open the city gate and rush towards the enemy's barracks.
Emperor Yang of Sui, who was watching from the city wall, looked proud, with so many soldiers and horses and General Tianbao going out to fight, in his heart this battle was already a complete victory.
"It's ridiculous that just 100,000 Turkic soldiers and horses want to threaten Lone." Emperor Yang of Sui reverted to the same courageous emperor as usual, but what he said gave the courtiers around him a lot of confidence.
There were many courtiers standing on the side, their legs trembling, and they were a little relieved.
The war in their eyes is very simple, now the number of people is equal, even more than the Turks fifty or sixty thousand, plus the invincible Tianbao General to go out on the expedition, it will definitely win.
Many courtiers also pinned their hopes on the vanguard soldiers in Youzhou, after all, after entering the statistics of the past few years, those who know the inside story know that the vanguard is now the most effective soldier and horse in the Sui State.
It was quiet outside the city, but the situation in the Turkic barracks far outside the city was more chaotic, 150,000 soldiers and horses surrounded and suppressed the Turkic cavalry, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses who came to increase the number were comparable, but the problem was that there were not many cavalry.
The generals who have been tired of rushing for half a month are very tired, and they have not had time to rest well and go directly into battle, making them really speechless.
The emperor could not refuse to obey his orders, so he had to fight hard.
"It's a good opportunity, let these Turks taste the power of the Li family's soldiers and horses today." The two brothers of the Li family are very energetic with their team, as if they want to vent their unabated efforts like Yuwen Chengdu or the reinforcements of the Sui State.
The soldiers were all killed, and the momentum of the rush became more and more fierce each time.
The people led by Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi are very calm in the battle, this kind of large-scale battle needs to be stable, and it must not be chaotic, so their attack speed is the slowest, but the harvest is indeed the best.
No one seemed to pay attention to them, and the first thing after killing the Turkic soldiers was to put the enemy's horses over first, and then transport them to the back of the team one by one.
They cooperated quite well with each other, and they didn't let others find anything.
In this way, the battle was steady and steady, not rushing, there were relatively few soldiers wounded by the heavily armored cavalry as a shield wall, and the battle continued, and the entire Turkic barracks were full of battles.
