Drum retreat. ”

After observing the battle between the two sides, Li De felt that he couldn't get much advantage and let people withdraw, the vanguard smiled and fought well, after all, the number of soldiers was still a little worse, and it would be a loss if the battle continued for a long time.

Without hesitation, immediately retreat.

Both sides of the battle just now saw it, and the king of the backer had a preliminary impression of the vanguard, and sighed to himself: "The vanguard really deserves its name, and the order goes down to make people vigilant." ”

As a great Taibao, Luo Fang has never seen his stepfather treat a person so seriously.

Li De also had some exchanges, and when he was in the northwest at that time, he didn't find that this person had the talent to command the army, and he felt that he ignored it.

"Father-in-law, why don't we continue to hurry, they only have 50,000 people, and if they advance slowly, they won't be able to stop it."

"300,000 Northwest soldiers are no one who can block the way, but have you thought about the purpose of not having the other party appear at this time?" The backer king asked.

Luo Fang thought for a while and said, "Could it be that they deliberately delayed coming?" ”

"That's right, Li De doesn't want a war in Youzhou, but he can't really avoid it, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest are not something that Youzhou soldiers and horses can fight with all their might."

The king of the backer did not mean to underestimate the soldiers and horses of Youzhou when he said this, but the situation in Youzhou is different from other state capitals, and there is no city wall where the people live, so it is very passive in the face of 300,000 soldiers and horses.

As long as the war is together, the people will be devastated.

How could the backer king not know, but he is such a person, and he can only charge into battle without hesitation.

The purpose of what Li De is doing now is to delay their time, and there is no need to say much about His Majesty's character and personality.

As long as the arrival time is delayed, with His Majesty's character and temperament, he will definitely be blamed.

The backer king guessed Li De's purpose, but there were still many plans that he didn't know.

Luo Fang is experienced, if it were replaced, he would definitely carry out all kinds of blockades, and he was prepared, he believed that Li De must have also prepared.

In this way, his father-in-law anticipated the enemy's opportunity, and it was also a way to stop and concentrate on dealing with the enemy.

"Protect the grain and grass, repair the soldiers and horses, and the king wants to break the Youzhou soldiers here, and we must not let them block our way."

Luo Fang responded immediately, just now he said that he wanted to stop, and now he is going to gather troops and horses to take the initiative to attack, he likes this kind of thing very much.

"Governor Dadu, you see that the Northwest soldiers are on their way ahead of schedule."

Li De knew that this would be the case, as the commander-in-chief, he would not delay the fighter at any time, and the emperor's decree had already been delivered, and the Northwest soldiers had to arrive at their destination according to the matter.

"Prepare for battle, you have to do your best in the face of the Northwest soldiers."

Situ En and Luo Yi attacked again with a large number of chariots, but they still took the initiative, this time the damage of the crossbow carts was huge, and the casualties caused by the rain of arrows in the area increased.

When these chariots were used up, people were transferred, and then the cavalry charged, and so on every day there would be battles, and even if there were 300,000 soldiers and horses, they could not crush them.

Stop-and-go, the patience of the backer king has been worn out by Li De, and they will definitely not be able to arrive on time if they continue like this.

Besides, the march speed of the 200,000 soldiers and horses around Emperor Yang of Sui was too slow, mainly because they carried a large amount of grain and grass.

The 600,000 soldiers and horses had to rely on them for food and grass, so the speed of the journey was very slow.

The speed of the journey was slow, but the news spread quickly in the various state capitals.

Chang'an Luoyang is empty, whoever occupies it can be the emperor, this temptation is not something that anyone can resist.

Just when Emperor Yang of Sui sent troops to Youzhou, many forces sent soldiers and horses to secretly rush to the vicinity of Luoyang.

"Li De, if you have the courage, you will charge in formation and fight the winner."

The backer king is impatient, and he will encounter it every day, and after several battles, the backer king found that the Youzhou soldiers used crossbow carts, and the range was very far, and several times he tried to destroy these long-range suppression equipment, but he was unsuccessful.

Now they are disturbed by ballista carts every day when they are on the road, and many more wounded are added every day.

In order to take care of these wounded, they divided a lot of soldiers, and if they were abandoned, the injuries were not serious, and if they were carried, they might affect their speed.

Dilemma, even if it is a decisive backer, there is not much to do now.

Li De attacked again today, and after he succeeded, he left with his soldiers and horses, and if he chased him, he would fight according to the number of troops.

After several days of delay, it was successfully delayed.

Just when the king of the backers was impatient, the vanguard sent a group of soldiers from the sea to occupy the coastal state capital directly.

If it weren't for the fact that they took the initiative to attack the city defenders and horses, they thought it was a pirate gang, and the occupied state capital was not large, but the battle report was sent to Gangneung every day.

An urgent war report arrived in the hands of Emperor Yang of Sui.

As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui was angry, and now all the soldiers and horses were dispatched, and his country was being invaded little by little.

He really couldn't imagine how he would send people to the coastal area to attack the city when the army was on horseback.

Although it feels incredible, the current situation is like this, and the Youzhou soldiers have occupied many county seats.

If left unattended, the coastal area will inevitably be chaotic, and if you want to take back the city, you need to attack, and it is very rare, and now you can see several county towns being captured every day, which is not a good sign.

"Come on, hurry up and solve the affairs of the coastal areas first."

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Soldiers are almost in Youzhou, and if you don't have the help of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on."

The squire of the military department gave advice, and he didn't have any good ideas now, but he couldn't do it without food and grass.

Emperor Yang of Sui still sent 100,000 soldiers and horses back to solve the affairs of the coastal areas.

When the time to gather came, the Northwest soldiers really did not arrive in time, and even the cavalry guards of Emperor Yang of Sui did not arrive in time.

Because on the way, he was pursued by Penglai's soldiers and horses.

Laihu'er helped, the purpose was very simple, they needed food in Penglai, and Youzhou had sufficient food reserves, and they still counted on these grains.

Besides, if Emperor Yang of Sui is really allowed to eliminate Youzhou, then it will be their turn next, and helping at this time is a tacit matter.

What's more, through this matter, you can also have a more favorable price for food with Youzhou.

Youzhou now seems to have no allies, and the cooperation with Li De is still quite strong at present.

When Emperor Yang of Sui was full of anticipation and concerned about the battle situation in Youzhou, the news he received turned out to be that the soldiers and horses did not arrive in Youzhou on time.

Instead, it was actively attacked by the Youzhou soldiers and blocked the soldiers and horses.

"It's all waste, check it out without a name."

Emperor Yang of Sui is still very sensible, what he is afraid of now is that the backer of the Northwest Army is really plotting against the Sui State, and how will he deal with it if he unites with Youzhou.

I knew that I wouldn't let the backer king personally command the troops.
