Chapter 857: Wolf Smoke Temptation
Hebida immediately hurried the generals.
Li De knew that the big war was about to start, and the people in charge of the Ningzhou City Guard Mansion who attended the meeting were all present.
"First of all, Ningzhou immediately put in place control, telling the people to stay at home and not to travel freely until the end of the war."
"The person in charge of the city guard government must fulfill his duties and be responsible for the sale of materials, and all the transactions between grain merchants and vegetable markets will be replaced by door-to-door sales, and the people in Ningzhou will be responsible for it, and there shall be no harm to the interests of the people during this period."
"The people of the city guard will have to cooperate fully, and now they can go to work, and the next step is the strategy meeting."
"We have been preparing for this battle for a long time, and we must take advantage of this opportunity to remove potential safety hazards."
"I'll listen to the orders of the Grand Governor."
The generals said in unison, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the battle was fame and fortune for them, not to mention that this time it was against foreign enemies that gave them a high fighting spirit.
They all heard that Li De seemed to mean that he wanted to completely destroy the enemy, so this battle would definitely go down in history, how could he miss such a battle.
Everyone kept their morale high, and when they returned, they would definitely bring the news back to raise the morale of the soldiers.
"Okay, I'm relieved that everyone is in this spirit, but you still need to stay calm before the battle, you are all generals who command the soldiers and horses, and a decision can decide the life and death of ten thousand people, so blood can have wisdom and need to have."
"In this battle, the governor of Pontus will personally supervise the battle, and the captain of Hebida will be responsible for leading the troops and horses to listen to orders."
"Yes!"
Hobida received the order.
The next thing is to make some arrangements and supervision, and all the things of arranging the troops will be handed over to He Bida to personally carry out.
After the mobilization meeting in Ningzhou, they all went to work.
The people are very cooperative, they already have experience, and they have a lot of confidence in the vanguards, just like last time.
There are also many young people who are all going to join the militia, and there are special people in charge of these things.
They will serve as Ningzhou's last line of defense, ready for trouble.
When Li De arrived at the command site deployed outside, it was all dug trenches.
The trench headquarters is more covered than the trenches in the defensive circle, and the excavated stations around are made of bricks, and large binoculars are placed inside, which can be seen clearly within a kilometer.
Li De could also see the deployment of the improvised trenches on the periphery, and the guns and artillery were all neatly arranged according to the spacing requirements.
I thought that ordinary training could only do this.
He Bida made a round around the outside and returned to Li De's side.
"Governor, this is the first time that the trench has been applied, and whether it can work depends on the effect."
Li De already knew in his heart that it should be the deployed artillery that would work, and the distance of the guns in the hands of the soldiers was far from a target.
Why do you have to arrange it like this, Li De just wants to let them adapt to such a battle, which can be regarded as a military training.
"It's been a few days, calculate the time, they should be almost there."
Li De said casually, who knows when the Turkic soldiers and horses will come.
So we can only keep waiting.
The Turks knew that Ningzhou had entered a state of combat readiness, because they were already preparing to attack, and after the last time they found traces, they knew that this northern battle was inevitable.
The Datou tribe was also prepared for the attack with the reminder of Liver, and they had been studying how to break through the vanguard defenses while they were on their way. 1234
The reason why they insisted on attacking after they heard that the vanguard had strength was that it confirmed that there was no city wall in Ningzhou.
They are cavalry, and they can do anything on flat ground, and it is because of this that they have strengthened their confidence.
"Ula Ula~"
The sound of shouts and horses' hooves was visible to the Sentry Scouts, who watched indifferently at the sudden appearance of enemies as they passed by them.
After waiting for the others to pass, the scouts quickly retreated, and the firewood that had been prepared near him was set on fire.
Smoke billows from the flames mixed with leaves, and it is still easy to see in broad daylight.
Hebida had been on the alert, and saw a fire in the field of view of a telescope that was used to release the signal.
"Governor, they're coming."
The Turkic vanguard did not think of sneaking, a group of people was just a temptation, and just as they were quickly approaching Ningzhou, there was suddenly smoke coming out behind them, and they knew that they were exposed.
Even then they do not intend to retreat, but continue.
Their mission is to charge to get the enemy's attention, and then find the enemy lying in ambush, ready to be pierced by arrows and become hedgehogs.
However, they were prepared and did not find anything other than fireworks.
No one appeared when they were close to Ningzhou, which invisibly made them more and more pressured.
Whoosh!
A squad of archers has attacked.
The Turkic vanguard was not hit, and the sight of a pair of archers exposed let them know that they were within range of the enemy.
The strange thing is that no one other than the exposed person was found.
They regard death as home, but when they see the hope of life, who will do something stupid, they immediately begin to return the way they came.
The pathfinders returned with no casualties.
The vanguards who had returned reported to the leader of the Datou tribe what they had discovered, and found a troop of thirty archers, and that's all.
The point is that they reported that they were discovered, and the enemy lit wolf smoke.
After a brief exchange between the generals, knowing that they were discovered, their opponents would immediately find out, and the opposing opponent had few archers to strike while the opponent was rushing.
The leaders of the Datou tribe were in favor of this, and their cavalry was better at charging into battle, and they were not afraid of any enemy as long as they were on horseback.
With their superb equestrian skills, they can escape even if they are defeated, and their pioneer warriors just now are a good example.
As the first people to charge, not being hit by an enemy archer's arrow can make them proud.
Because they did what they thought brave.
Liver's voice has no objection to this, they don't know any tactics at all, and they need to use their strength to fight.
It was the men of the head who charged, and they would continue to follow behind in order to protect the chariot, for the sake of seventy percent of the booty, and they really couldn't say anything at this time.
The rule is like this, if you don't fight in the face of an enemy, you are not worthy of being called a warrior.
"Gather troops and horses, let's take the lead and go to battle."
The momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry is really terrifying, and when they appear in the range of the archers, the original archers are all gone.
And they found that it seemed that there was still some way to go from Ningzhou, and the withdrawal of the archers who had been defending was responding to their guesses.
