Chapter 443: Luring the Enemy Deeper
Luo Yi can only cooperate, anyway, his people are on the city wall, so it's good not to make any adjustments.
Youzhou City was made beyond recognition by the soldiers for a while, and the streets were blocked with trees and stones to ensure that they could not be moved for a few hours.
If the enemy wants to rush out, they can only make a detour or demolish the house, and besides, the doors and windows of the house are sealed with masonry and wood, and the walls are reinforced, so the difficulty of demolishing the house is easier than their detour.
Li De made two preparations when designating the street battle route, in case the enemy could really rush out, they would have more preparations, so they left a second line of defense when blocking the streets.
The price of formulating this double insurance is that the soldiers have to work long hours and high intensity, seize the time they can get, and Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin take their guards to the Turkic camp to provoke.
If you can find an opportunity to sneak attack, you will never let it go, and more importantly, it will attract the attention of the enemy and bring the enemy into Youzhou City again.
However, the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations, and the state of the Turkic soldiers was even more serious than expected, and Shi Huaiyi took the opportunity to defeat the opponent's vanguard of several hundred people.
After waiting for a long time, the main force of the enemy was not found, and the scouts sent to recover that the enemy's situation was unknown, and there was no intention of sending troops and horses for the time being.
Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin discussed together, and they were a little confused when they encountered this kind of thing.
"If you want me to say that no matter what the enemy plans to do, let's test it, anyway, it's all about luring the enemy, and sooner or later we will fight." Ding Qilin said.
"You're right, but I always feel that this kind of passivity is not the habit of Turkic soldiers, and there must be a problem when things go wrong, what if there is an ambush?" Shi Huaiyi said worriedly.
"Otherwise, I'll bring some people over, and even if there is an ambush, I can rush back." Ding Qilin said.
"It's okay, I'll bring someone to support behind, if there is a mutation, retreat immediately, and I will bring someone to arrive immediately if you release the arrow." Shi Huaiyi said.
Ding Qilin led two hundred men to attack and kill the Turkic camp.
The commanders on the Turkic side all learned about the attack of the Sui soldiers, but they were more concerned about the affairs of the big chief, and a very calm person sat next to the camp tent in the big camp and watched everyone work.
This person is none other than the great general Ashinagile from Fancheng, who has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and is the second most powerful person in this expedition.
The great chieftain Ashina Yuanchun is his uncle.
It was his soldiers and horses who led people to chase before, so they were not affected by the fragrance of flowers, and still maintained their combat effectiveness, and chose to retreat from the overall situation.
He is a very scheming person, and the best thing is to retain strength.
"General Gilles, the Great Leader is still unconscious, and I think we must have a commander to lead us in the battle." One of the commanders under the Grand Leader said.
After the commander finished speaking, several commanders continued to persuade him.
Ashinagile kept a calm look, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.
"I believe that Uncle Yuan Chun will be fine, the current enemy we can't let go of the soldiers of the Sui State like this, with a few hundred people, we dare to challenge my Turkic soldiers and horses, you tribal generals, we have to make them pay, dare to kill me back."
Ashinagile doesn't speak, as soon as he speaks, he gives people hope, and the generals who lead the troops are very excited, and leading the troops to fight and conquer the enemy is what they like to do.
Now Youzhou City is in front of their eyes, but they retreat to the back and suffer huge losses, which is not what they want.
Ashinagile's words of persuasion are not clever, but they simply express the hopes of the generals.
"We have discussed it, and we want to ask General Gille to lead us to continue the battle." The commanders said in unison.
"Okay, let's kill the soldiers and horses who can continue to fight, and the people left behind will take care of my uncle and soldiers."
Ding Qilin's men had already met with the people of the Turkic camp, and the two sides used bows and arrows, and the armor-piercing arrows were more powerful, and they were just about to continue to approach, when a large number of cavalry quickly appeared in the Turkic camp.
As soon as Ding Qilin saw this situation, he immediately led people to turn around and run.
"The Turks really have an ambush."
How did Ding Qilin know that this time was really a coincidence, who would have thought that the leader of the Turkic soldiers and horses at this time had already changed, and even more so when they were about to attack Youzhou City.
The sound of the arrow pierced the sky, a cloud-piercing arrow, Shi Huaiyi and the people immediately followed to support, when he saw the Turkic cavalry behind Ding Qilin, he did not hesitate to lead the people to turn around and run.
Ding Qilin led a small number of people, and soon caught up with the people led by Shi Huaiyi.
"Ding Qilin, did you stab the hornet's nest, how do you think that the other party has dispatched everyone?"
"Don't mention it, I was told by your crow's mouth, as soon as I arrived at the Turkic camp, I saw the black cavalry rushing towards us, and the enemy had already planned it."
It's useless to say anything now, all they have to do is run away as soon as possible.
"How does it feel wrong, how many people have they chased?" Shi Huaiyi saw that the speed of the enemy's pursuit slowed down, and it was getting slower and slower.
Even so, the enemy has no intention of stopping.
Ding Qilin counted it somewhere.
"I don't know, it's all human." Ding Qilin replied.
"Speed up, there may be a change in the situation, hurry up and go back to the governor." Shi Huaiyi said.
The vanguard sent out really increased their speed, and they didn't care about whether they would tire out the horses, and there were a large number of pursuers behind them, and if they didn't hurry, they might really not be able to run.
When Luo Yi saw the vanguard returning, he was stunned for a moment, followed by the Turks, and immediately asked people to open the city gate, and sent a herald to inform Li De of the matter.
After Li De learned the news, he immediately brought people over, and saw the people led by Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin fleeing back, followed by a large number of Turkic soldiers, and the number of them could not be counted.
"Come, open the gates and prepare for battle." Li De ordered.
The captains disappeared into the city walls with their men one after another.
"General Luo and other Turkic soldiers and horses arrived, fight back appropriately, and after three arrows, be sure to take your soldiers and horses along the side exit of the city wall to leave." Li De said solemnly.
"Retreat, do you want us to abandon Youzhou City?" Luo Yi was surprised.
"It's not to give up, but to move to a safe place first, and later you can destroy the enemy with the vanguard, and believe that I will win this battle." Li De said confidently.
Luo Yi nodded and agreed.
Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin had already rushed into Youzhou City, and as soon as they came in, they separated according to the route they had agreed before, and separated according to their respective routes.
The cavalry of the Turks followed very closely, and when they saw the gate of Youzhou wide open, it was not a good opportunity to rush in, so at this time they showed a brave spirit that was not afraid of death.
The commander who followed behind saw that it was a great opportunity, and immediately made people speed up.
