Chapter 705: Three Forks in the Road

Just like Li De said, those forces didn't know which force reacted, and in the end, all the forces got out of the way.

"Big brother, you see they gave way." Li Yuanji was surprised.

Li Jiancheng sighed in his heart that there are still people who understand.

The Turkic cavalry quickly made a choice, not to mention that they were besieged by many soldiers and horses now, they had no choice, and their purpose of escape was more important than fighting the Youzhou soldiers.

Then more than 200,000 cavalry began to break through, and the main opponent was replaced by the cavalry guard.

"General, the Turkic cavalry is rushing over."

"Prepare for battle."

Yuwen Chengdu knew that things were going to be bad, and they came to block the road just to make the people in the melee lose and finally clean up the mess, but they didn't expect the Youzhou soldiers to appear here.

It can't be blamed that the Xiao Cavalry Guard is not well-informed, Li De came by boat this time, who would have thought that someone would use such a laborious method to transport soldiers and horses.

The cavalry guards were all cavalry, they did not wait to be attacked, and under the leadership of Yuwen Chengdu, a cavalry charge was launched, and the two sides rushed together, and there were casualties immediately.

"It's worthy of being a cavalry guard, it's really brave." Li De said.

He was seriously evaluating and measuring the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou soldiers, Emperor Yang of Sui's personal soldiers had excellent armor, and 150,000 soldiers and horses were already able to compete with more than 200,000 cavalry.

After several hours of fighting, the cavalry guards continued to retreat.

The people led by Li De also had to follow behind.

"Grand Governor, according to the map, there will be a fork in the road ten miles ahead, and the Turkic cavalry can take the opportunity to retreat."

As a result, Li De knew at a glance what Yuwen Chengdu had in mind when he saw the drawings taken by the generals around him.

"It turned out that their target was not the Turkic cavalry, but the various forces." Li De saw the three forks on the drawing and immediately understood.

The current situation is to present a "Y" shape, they are all at the bottom, and after the cavalry retreats to the left and an exit flows out, and the Turkic cavalry escapes, the cavalry guards seal the opening, and those who remain are only victorious.

Will Youzhou soldiers become the target of Yuwen Chengdu at the end?

Thinking about it, it seems that compared to the Turkic cavalry being able to fight with the Youzhou soldiers, the combat exploits after the victory can be more recognized by Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li De figured out the key, but it was not him Yuwen Chengdu who decided all this, and the Youzhou soldiers were not a rabble.

"Built, you send someone to tell the people of those forces, the good purpose of the Xiao cavalry guards ......, let them go after the Turkic cavalry, if they are slow, they may be blocked by the Xiao cavalry guards here." Li Dedao.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do then?" Li Jiancheng said hurriedly.

"You also go to pursue the Turkic cavalry, say that you can't get some benefits, if you stay, you will be in trouble, just leave the cavalry guards to our Youzhou soldiers."

Li De smiled when he said, looking very sure, Li Jiancheng didn't want to stay when he heard the idea of Xiao Cavalry Guard, and now he is naturally not welcome to go down the steps.

Relationships are relationships, but where there are actual interests that attract people.

The Li family's soldiers and horses are related to the Li family.

Li Jiancheng acted immediately, and all the forces chose to leave as soon as possible after getting the news, but the Wagang soldiers had different opinions.

"Master Li Zhai, let's choose to leave with us, just let the Xiao Cavalry Guard deal with the Youzhou soldiers, we don't need to participate." Shan Xiongxin said.

Li Mi didn't panic when he heard the news, because now they have enough momentum as long as they hold together, and the strong combat strength of the Xiao Cavalry Guards can't match their many people.

Li De didn't leave, which made him think that he must have a backhand for the Youzhou soldiers, and what he wanted was to stay and take advantage.

However, Shan Xiongxin and the others disagreed, they wanted to leave quickly, and the interests of pursuing the Turkic cavalry would be greater.

Seeing that the Turkic cavalry was getting faster and faster, they might reach another fork in the road in less than a stick of incense, and before that they had to make a decision.

Li Mi wanted to stay, but looking at Shan Xiongxin's group, there were not many soldiers and horses, but they could be regarded as outstanding combat effectiveness, and after considering the pros and cons, he still compromised.

After two sticks of incense, the Turkic cavalry managed to escape after losing some soldiers and horses, and the cavalry guards really stopped some small forces in the end.

In this way, more than 20,000 rabbles were solved.

After Li Jiancheng left with the people, he saw that the Xiao cavalry guards blocked the road, and now he can't go back, let alone know what will happen next, and he left some scouts like various forces.

"Governor, the soldiers and horses are ready."

"Okay, action."

Li De didn't give Yuwen Chengdu a chance at all, and immediately took people away.

"General, the Youzhou soldiers have retreated, should we chase after them?"

Yuwen Chengdu is also helpless now, now he occupies a geographical location, if he pursues in case of a sneak attack behind him, he will be attacked on his back, and if he goes to pursue another fork in the road, the Youzhou soldiers will chase after him and he will be attacked on his back.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu was already angry, originally thinking that this plan could destroy the Youzhou soldiers and horses, and the source of confidence was that his people counted the number of Youzhou soldiers.

They will have an absolute advantage in a real battle, but they never expected that the Youzhou soldiers chose to retreat as soon as possible, and their plans were disrupted at once.

His seemingly plain face was actually very anxious, because his main purpose was to drive away the Turkic cavalry, and he wanted to show that he had taken it upon himself to clean up the various forces, and now it seemed that he had messed up.

The dilemma was his situation.

Li De left with the people, and kept the scouts staring at the pursuers behind him.

"Governor, are we really going to retreat?" Ding Qilin asked.

"Aren't we retreating right now?" Li Dedao.

Ding Qilin was silent, he didn't understand what Li De meant at all, and since he couldn't get an answer, he could only think about it himself.

These generals still want to know how to ride and guard, and the rise of Youzhou soldiers, many generals also want to try to the end, who is really the strongest in the Sui State now.

However, Li Dedu made a decision, and they didn't think about anything else.

Li De led the people to retreat, but there were no pursuers, they just retreated some distance behind and stopped.

Only at this time did Ding Qilin understand that the choice to be made now was Yuwen Chengdu, and the Youzhou soldiers had an advantage no matter how the other party chose.

In this case, he has nothing to complain about, just wait for the next action.

Yuwen Chengdu retreated along the original road, and did not choose to pursue, because they needed to make a detour, and the speed of the Turkic cavalry was very fast, and it was impossible to catch up, so they could only make up for it.

Begin to target those forces.

The cavalry guards made a move, and the scouts in Youzhou quickly passed the news back.

"Go, go."

Li De led the men to follow again, this time they were very fast, and the target was the Turkic cavalry.

The Turkic cavalry was now extremely tired, and it was too difficult for the infantry behind them to catch up with them after successfully escaping, and it was too difficult for the infantry behind them to catch up with them.

The only thing that made them jealous was the Li family cavalry.
