While they were on their way, the Turkic cavalry had already arrived in Ningzhou.

He Bida, Li Jing is leading soldiers and horses to fight against it.

The newly recruited soldiers and horses were all selected from the local area, and the expanded soldiers and horses also captured the hearts of the locals.

Now Ningzhou is the same day by day, with brick and stone roads, various workshops, especially breeding farms.

Now Ningzhou mainly provides wool for Youzhou, and the locals of Ningzhou will also go to various tribes to buy wool, and there is such a trade association of interests, and a trade base has been established with many tribes.

It's just that the business can only be done by the local people in Ningzhou, otherwise other tribes really don't give face.

It was precisely because of the rapid development of Ningzhou that He Bida and Li Jing had always been worried about defense.

According to Li De's meaning, Ningzhou did not build a city wall at all, so they were even more worried.

The soldiers of Ningzhou are stationed outside the residential area, and all kinds of bright and dark posts are lined up outside, although there is no city wall, but the planned towns are built on the mountain.

Even if there is an enemy attack, it can be well defended with the natural terrain.

"Hedudu, Turkic soldiers were found fifty miles away, at least 200,000 soldiers and horses."

The scouts retreated after their reports, and then the news from the different scouts made him feel a lot of pressure.

More than 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can they deal with Ningzhou.

He Bida immediately summoned his generals, Li Jing and others to discuss the matter.

When they heard that the Turkic soldiers were coming, they all thought intently.

"Captain Hedu, the scout has been sent back to Youzhou, we now have 50,000 soldiers and horses in the garrison, and 50,000 soldiers and horses in the outpost camp, even if the other side has 200,000 soldiers and horses, we can hold out to support." Li Jing said.

He Bida knew that this was Li Jing reminding him that as long as he insisted on defense.

"Now assign the task and send the vanguard to block them as long as possible."

"General Li, are you willing to be a pioneer?"

"Yes."

"Okay, now let you take 30,000 elites to carry out the blocking mission, if you are defeated, the main thing is to protect the soldiers and horses." Hebida instructed.

The Turks used to fight petty, and it was not a problem to have a few hundred people, but this time there were too many people, which basically meant that the Turks had mobilized all their strength.

He Bida didn't have to think about it to know that it must be because Li De said that he would send Youzhou soldiers to attack the Turks.

If you can't take Ningzhou, the best result is to be able to transfer some finances, and the worst result is that Ningzhou will fall apart.

He Bida didn't want to see Ningzhou, which had been developed with great difficulty, taken by the Turks.

The 50,000 men and horses in the outpost camp were immediately dispatched, and all of them were sent out to defend. still

When the Turkic soldiers appeared in Ningzhou fifty miles, Li Jing quickly dispatched with 30,000 people, and quickly found the Turkic soldiers with the cooperation of the scouts.

He chose to carry out a night attack, they were outnumbered by the other party, and the frontal hard fight not only could not take advantage of it, but it was easy to fall into a crisis.

However, this is all Li Jing's wishful thinking, the Turkic cavalry came violently, and they had no intention of resting.

It is no secret that there is no city in Ningzhou, and for this, the Turks are very confident in attacking Ningzhou.

However, every time they sent people to try it, they didn't succeed in the end, and they also knew that there were Youzhou soldiers guarding outside Ningzhou.

It didn't take long for Li Jing to let the scout come back to deliver the news, and He Bida was also a little worried in his heart.

The most feared thing is that the enemy will attack directly.

Now all they can do is defend.

Li Jing led 30,000 soldiers and horses to make a detour, and did not meet the Turkic cavalry, and they had already investigated the vicinity of Ningzhou, so it can only be said that they have an advantage from the terrain.

Since it is better to stay behind the enemy and wait for the opportunity to attack at any time to deliver a fatal blow.

He Bida personally went into battle, in order to resist the Turkic cavalry, there were many chariots here, the outermost was the sword and shield soldiers, and the back was the chariot used to charge the formation, and the formation was tight.

This time, the Turkic soldiers were fighting with great momentum.

Most of these soldiers and horses have experienced the shame of being driven away by the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, and now they want to take revenge.

It is even more important to recover their losses, especially several small tribes that have suffered heavy losses, and each tribe has spared no effort to support the wealth of Ningzhou.

At night, the roads outside Ningzhou are full of fires, and many piles of timber in the middle of the road illuminate the outside of Ningzhou.

Hebida really doesn't like this feeling of being beaten passively.

He already knew why Li De sent troops to destroy the Turks, and their existence was the biggest threat to them.

He Bida heard the voice of the Turkic cavalry, and there was a slight tremor on the ground, and with this vibration, he could feel that the opponent's soldiers and horses were only a lot more.

"Array, ready for battle."

Orders are passed on, and specific commands have been delegated to the various teams.

When the lieutenants saw the Turkic cavalry appear in the fire, no one panicked, and the distance of each fire was measured and placed.

The locals knew the distance of the enemy as they passed.

"The enemy entered the ballista attack range and fought on his own."

The lieutenants are all on this order.

In the night, crossbows and arrows come and go in the light.

The Turkic cavalry became even more frantic when attacked, and their speed became faster and faster, and when they approached three hundred paces, they were waiting for a trap.

Then, like dumplings, they all hit one piece.

What awaits them is a dense array of arrows.

He Bida watched the battle from behind, the strength of the vanguard was like this, and he was very calm in the face of the whole army.

The archers are steady and attack at a steady frequency.

The Turkic generals were discussing things in the back, and they were arguing.

"The vanguard is good at digging horse pits, how can you still fall into their way after many battles, and now the soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, do you want to continue?"

Attacking at night, this is their good time, from rushing to night, they decided to go all at once, they believe that more than 200,000 soldiers and horses can attack Ningzhou in a short time.

It's a pity that they really think too much, and the trap has caused them a huge loss.

The Turkic generals were also helpless, and they also wondered why the vanguard was so fond of digging horse pits.

Can there be such preparation at night, the answer is definitely no, it can only be said that these traps have been prepared for them a long time ago.

Many generals felt that they were too light and should wait for daylight before attacking.

The first line of fortifications, the trap of horses, succeeded in slowing down the enemy's cavalry, and with this gap, the ballista began to wield.

There are not many soldiers and horses on Ningzhou's side, and there are the most archers, and the arrow rain attack of 30,000 archers is really not easy for the Turkic cavalry to parry.

From the Turkic attack, the archers of the Youzhou soldiers never stopped.

He Bida looked at the battle calmly, and said in his heart that Ningzhou had the most arrows if there were not many others.
