Chapter 507: Supplies Returned

Li Jing is a steady person, he doesn't want to take risks for personal merit, the materials they transport are of great value, if there is a mistake, then he really can't stand the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy.

"General Luo, do you think about it again, our first task is to transport supplies back, although there are many soldiers and horses, but the number of troops and horses that can be mobilized is limited, it is better to be cautious with 2,000 Turkic soldiers and horses." Li Jing reminded.

Luo Yi was determined to fight, and agreed with Li Jing's attitude, and said with a smile: "General Li will guard the materials with peace of mind, don't forget that you are a serious material escort officer." ”

Li Jing made him speechless, judging from the official rank of the two, Luo Yi is a serious general, even higher than the official rank of the previous Governor Li De, he is a general, and according to the system, he has to act under orders.

Besides, he is the main person in charge of material escort, Luo Yi is a defense assistant, to put it bluntly, he is a bodyguard, and now the bodyguard says that he wants to go out to fight, Li Jing can only suggest that nothing else can be done.

Luo Yi didn't think as much as Li Jing thought, he didn't know that it was very important to transport materials, although there were 20,000 people to protect it, but there were too many materials, and the number of people who could be transferred would not exceed 5,000.

But that's enough.

"Yanyun cavalry, assemble and prepare for battle!"

Luo Yi gave an order, and the low-key five thousand soldiers and horses in the escort team instantly seemed to be awakened from their slumber.

Li Jing immediately understood, it turned out that letting Luo Yi escort the grain and grass may have been expected by the Metropolitan Governor a long time ago, in case of emergency.

The Yanyun cavalry has a good reputation, and its combat effectiveness is no worse than any of the guards in the vanguard, especially in terms of cavalry, and it may even be stronger than the combat effectiveness of the flying cavalry.

"General Li, you keep going, and I'll come back as soon as possible." Luo Yidao.

The Yanyun cavalry itself survived by fighting and nurturing the war, they were never afraid of battle, and even they were eager to fight, Luo Yi gave an order, and the five thousand soldiers and horses quickly disappeared in front of Li Jing's eyes.

"What a team."

Li Jing couldn't sit still, in fact, when he was appointed to be in charge of logistics affairs, he had already begun to prepare, and among the soldiers and horses he could deploy, he used appropriate methods to vacate 2,000 soldiers and horses reasonably and skillfully, the purpose was to have a force that could be deployed to deal with the enemy in case of a battle.

20,000 soldiers and horses seem to be a lot, but they are all burdened by supplies, and they really need to be defended when they fight, and they can't leave at will.

Li Jing finally asked the 2,000 soldiers and horses in charge of logistics to follow Luo Yi's direction, while he continued to escort the supplies with people.

Maybe this is the difference between a general and a handsome talent.

Luo Yi took the Yanyun cavalry and found the Turkic cavalry who was about to leave according to the direction given by the scouts, and the five thousand soldiers and horses were all cavalry that could not be hidden at all.

From the beginning, there was no intention to adopt the strategy of first lurking and encircling and then attacking, and 5,000 against 2,000 directly went to war.

The Yanyun cavalry has experienced a hundred battles, and the arrows have been overwhelming, and they use short wooden hard bows, which are specially suitable for horse warfare.

The Turkic cavalry was caught off guard, and the Turkic cavalry was rich in combat effectiveness, and most of them were able to hide behind the horses in time, and then returned fire with bows and arrows, taking advantage of the opportunity to turn over and get on the horse, and open the distance.

The Turkic cavalry quickly gathered most of their combat strength after a round of arrows, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Luo Yi had long thought that one day he would be able to fight an attack with the Turks like this, usually defending the city, but today he got his wish, and he also brought his strongest guards and horses.

"Rush!"

Just when the two sides were fighting, two thousand cavalry appeared in the rear, and at a glance they knew that they were the vanguards, and they came to support, and the charge of the Yanyun cavalry was even more fierce, and they didn't want to see all the spoils of war being divided.

As a result, the combat effectiveness of the vanguard has been significantly improved, and the combat effectiveness of the vanguard is very strong, and these soldiers and horses in charge of logistics are all selected from the various departments of the "Wind Forest Volcano", and they are all cavalry.

Seeing that the war had begun, he did not hesitate to join the war group directly.

The Turks were stunned, they would not have thought that there would be Sui people coming to their territory, and as a result, they suffered a big loss in consciousness, and seeing that the situation was not good, the Turkic cavalry began to choose to flee.

The vanguard who came later had already understood the fighting style of the Turks, and the bigger and stronger they could fight, and they would flee immediately if they couldn't fight, so they had targeted tactical training when they trained.

Cut off the enemy's rear path at the first time.

The battle ended in less than an hour, and the harvest was full, and when it came to snatching the spoils, the Yanyun cavalry was very experienced, and they directly grabbed the horse as soon as possible.

"General Li, let's come back."

The joy of victory could be seen from Luo Yi's face, and Li Jing was a little envious in his heart, but fortunately, his timely mobilization of soldiers and horses was a good ending.

"General Luo is triumphant, it seems that the harvest is not small." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Thanks to General Li for sending people to support, I was able to end the battle so quickly." Luo Yidao.

More than ten days later, Li Jing and Luo Yi returned to the Youzhou barracks, a large number of materials were replenished to the Youzhou warehouse, and the cattle, sheep and horses were placed in the logistics of each barracks.

The rest of the furs were taken out and sold, and the gold and silver were put into storage.

In the Governor's Mansion, Li De was asking Li Jing and Luo Yi about the battle ahead.

"The materials brought back this time are enough for Youzhou soldiers and horses for three years, and this is a big victory." Li De said with relief.

"Grand Duke, what about the captured Turks, do you want to bring them back?" Li Jing asked.

The current situation is that the materials have been transported back, but the captives have not, and Shi Huaiyi and others directly let the captured Turks act as supernumerary soldiers to open the way for the vanguard.

Originally, he wanted these people to follow Li Jing and their material team back, but after discussing with Shi Huaiyi and the others, they still decided not to cause trouble to Youzhou City.

I am going to plan after the end of the battle.

Li De knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and responded: "Okay, I'll leave everything to them, and it just so happens that you have to rush back when you come back to repair a little." ”

"Yes."

Li Jing immediately responded.

Li Jing left first, Luo Yi stayed, he had something to say, but he couldn't save face, so he had to wait for Li Jing to leave first before saying: "Dadu Governor, I am the general in charge of logistics and transportation, and I will ask the Governor to punish me when I encounter the enemy temporarily." ”

Luo Yi lowered his posture first, Li De had a detailed battle report on their encounters on the road, although they were victorious, but their main responsibility was not to fight but to protect supplies.

In case the enemy discovers it, notify the enemy's main forces to come and intercept it, and the matter will be big.

Li De knew that Luo Yi couldn't wipe off his face, although he was sincere about meritorious service, but he believed that there were Yanyun cavalry, and he knew that the number of enemies was certain before he made a decision.
