He also needs to make some deployments, the Yuwen family in Shuozhou has been developing in a low-key manner, and I heard that the number of soldiers and horses has been expanded, but their lives are not easy.

He wasn't worried about the Yuwen family, but he didn't want to see them attack Ningzhou desperately, which was the ranch in Youzhou.

If you want to prevent danger from happening, you need to destroy it before the enemy can do it, and the pastures in northern Liaobei must not be remembered.

Just after the winter season, the vanguard was frequently moved, which they did not know in the eyes of the people.

Secretly strengthened the defense of northern Liao, and at the same time increased the scale of pasture farming.

Taking the initiative to attack, the sudden appearance of Turkic horse bandits or something will immediately cause a sense of crisis among all forces.

During this period of time before the spring ploughing, Shuofang was attacked by Turkic horse bandits, and the news of heavy losses spread immediately.

People from all sides thought that this was Li De's doing, Li De was invisible, what could he explain, he originally had this plan, but the truth surprised him.

The Youzhou Governor's Mansion has not held a meeting in the war room of the Governor's Mansion for a long time, and since Shuofang was attacked by the Turks, all the commanders present have become vigilant.

"The Grand Duke, the Turks are back, and the last general is willing to lead his troops into battle."

"Everyone calm down, according to the news of the scouts, this time the Turks are prepared, and the Eastern and Western Turks are jointly preparing to recapture Mobei, and the soldiers are strong and invincible."

Li De has made it very clear that the vanguard is not without the strength of a battle, but if they are all engaged in the war with the Turks, they will fall into passivity in the face of the threat of various forces.

So you can't rush at this time.

The newspapers in Youzhou were selling well again, and the news about the Turks was immediately published, but Li De did not hold back.

When it comes to national righteousness, he will never be careless.

I even wanted to explain through the newspaper that the horse bandits who attacked Shuofang had nothing to do with Youzhou.

Li Mi saw the news but didn't say anything, he is now focused on building the city, and all the things about the expedition are handed over to Shan Xiongxin to deal with.

With the cooperation of the Youzhou mercenaries, Shan Xiongxin's talent can only take on the task of training soldiers and going on expeditions, as long as he is not assigned tasks in terms of management.

It's not that Shan Xiongxin can't do it, but what if he goes to manage the Wagang soldiers.

The reason why Li Mi was relieved to hand over the Wagang soldiers to Shan Xiongxin was very simple, there were only 30,000 mercenaries who cooperated.

Let him toss is no threat to Li Mi.

Under the call of Youzhou, Shan Xiongxin already had a new task, and he did not take anything to exterminate Youzhou, the spoils of the Turkic war.

Of course, Youzhou will not take the initiative to provide supplies, so he can only give them some news.

Shan Xiongxin was still somewhat resistant to the Turkic battle, and the enemy's situation was unclear and he had to be cautious.

The other strengths didn't react at all, because it didn't have much to do with them, and Mobei was very far away from them.

Even Li Yuan was not very worried, because Shuofang still had the Yuwen family, and once the Turks moved south, they would inevitably need to face the Yuwen family first.

They are all too optimistic, and Li Deke is not as big-hearted as them.

According to the latest news, the Turkic combined army and horses are as many as 300,000, and not only that, but they also have cattle, sheep and horses with their families.

The returning Turkic soldiers and horses are well prepared, and the biggest threat is that they all set foot on the land of Mobei again.

Li De always maintained a sense of crisis, he didn't want the vanguard to have an accident in northern Liaoning, so he secretly deployed hundreds of artillery pieces when he deployed soldiers and horses.

It can meet the fire coverage of medium and long distances, and the workshop in Youzhou is producing individual firearms to equip the firearms battalion of the vanguard.

Of course, the most elite fighters of the vanguard are not the first choice for equipment, and Li De chooses some relatively weak recruits for equipment.

The main training sessions are routinely forbidden in training.

The firearms they use are all hand-held arquebus, and they have only completed a relatively three-stage attack mode so far.

The speed of the requirements for Li De varies greatly, which is limited by the equipment of the firearm, and the workshop is already developing new equipment, and the deadline for completion will take a long time.

The development of the tech tree requires a process, and it is very disadvantageous for the workshop to want to do it directly in one step.

The current Soldier Gun feels like a long-handled stick, and to compensate for the disadvantage of reload speed, the Gun is designed to be three-barreled.

The Activation Chance is a scatter-and-shoot attack, and after testing, it can already be used to lay a melee burst artifact.

For ordinary armor, it has a powerful impact effect, and for heavily armed armored soldiers, shrapnel is splashed everywhere.

To put it simply, it depends on luck.

Therefore, in order to make up for the shortcomings, these people also need to practice a long-handled stick method, which means that after firing, they will use the fire gun on the spot with a cold weapon.

The experimental training of 3,000 people was still continuing, and Li De had no intention of letting them go to the battlefield at all, but just let them use it as an experiment to cooperate with the craftsmen to record data.

The Turkic cavalry was what he was most worried about, and so far Li De was still transporting the artillery from the workshop's inventory to northern Liaobei.

There was a new transfer among the lieutenants.

Li Jing was arranged to go to the south to continue to be in charge of the southern rubber plantation and other businesses, and He Bida was transferred back to Youzhou.

Regarding the defense of Liaobei, Li De thought that handing over to He Bida was the best arrangement, and Wei Li was transferred back to Youzhou from the south, and Zhang Jin was replaced by him.

Shi Huaiyi also returned, and he was replaced by Situ En in northern Liaobei.

After Wei Li returned to Youzhou, he continued to be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and the economy of Youzhou, and all the lieutenants understood this arrangement, maybe Li De was ready to recruit in person.

After the Turkic matter spread in the Sui Kingdom, there was no news from Youzhou, so the spies didn't know what Li De was going to do.

They believed that the main target of the Turkic attack must be Ningzhou in northern Liaobei, and the forces of Youzhou did not have a city wall, so they would attack with all their strength and use iron cavalry to level everything.

However, they may have been disappointed, although there are no walls, there are still defensive forces such as sentry forts.

In order to prevent the cavalry from raiding all kinds of horse rejection piles, the tunnels have been being built, and it can be seen that the traps that Li De asked them to prepare were all low-cost works.

Li De did not intend to waste too much financial resources in this regard, because the main defensive force was still the vanguard troops stationed in northern Liaobei.

During Situ En's garrison, his chariot team had been trained, and when he was transferred to the south, the chariot team was all left in northern Liaobei for defense.

In particular, the fan chariot is the biggest killer weapon for cavalry, as long as enough fan chariots are deployed to withstand thousands of troops.

This self-confidence comes from the development of industry, and the improvement of the tank has not stopped, and the reinforcement and improvement have allowed the vehicle to exert greater combat effectiveness.
