Chapter 1092 the best time
However, this is the most dangerous signal. The war report said that there were Tubo soldiers and horses. At this time, Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses were killed. I don't want to believe that the Tubo soldiers and horses did not follow him with such a good opportunity.
Xue Wanche is also a character after all. Although the combat power of 100,000 troops has been weakened due to fatigue, Youzhou's military strength is superior after all.
Even if the opponent's 50,000 cavalry is strong, he will not have much advantage when he fights hard.
At this time, Xue Wanche had to let the troops attack. It was the most unwise behavior to choose to evacuate if he wanted to retain his strength.
If a hundred thousand infantry faces 50,000 cavalry, if they really retreat, they will become targets for the enemy. There will be no suspense when the entire army is wiped out.
For the sake of the present, I can only do my best to fight for reinforcements waiting for Chang'an.
The reinforcements depend on the detective to pass the news back.
Li Yuan was very anxious, so he directly asked the warrior to drive the car to Shuofang to pick up people. He could save a lot of time when going and going one by one twice as fast as a carriage.
The warrior was not vague about Li Yuan's approach, but he didn't go into battle himself. He was so old that he could not withstand the fatigue of long-distance driving. He directly sent two driving men to pick them up.
When Li Yuanji saw the car, he immediately thought about learning to drive, but the border war was urgent and he couldn't let it go.
However, the two samurai soldiers in charge of driving did not agree. Anyway, the news was delivered to Li Yuanji, so he didn't care about their affairs.
Li Yuanji took Li Yuan's handwritten order very seriously and immediately mobilized his guards to return to Chang'an.
Li Yuanji rushed back to Chang'an by car and took Chang'an's guards to the battlefield. As soon as he left Chang'an, he received news from Xue Wanche.
One hundred thousand soldiers were being attacked by 50,000 cavalrymen in Tuyuhun, seeking support.
When Li Yuanji went out, Li Yuan sent another 50,000 more troops to the camp to meet the enemy.
Xue Wanche fought on the same side of the convoy, but did not cause much loss. Even though he was facing the cavalry, he dragged it to Shangzhou.
There were less than 3,000 troops stationed in Shangzhou City. When they saw the 5,000 cavalry, they felt powerless. They didn't see that the 100,000 soldiers were all suppressed and attacked.
Li Yuanji arrived in Youzhou in time and immediately organized a defense. At present, the Tang Dynasty's troops were at a disadvantage and must be prevented from attacking.
Fifty thousand Tuyuhun directly besieged the troops led by Li Yuanji in Shangzhou, while half of the troops began to rob the people near Shangzhou.
Li Yuanji is very anxious. The more anxious he is, the worse his temper is. He even likes to beat and scold others when he is not upset.
"Is there any news about the horses who are heading to Chang'an? When will the 50,000 troops arrive?"
The 50,000 troops sent from Chang'an were still on the way, and they not only came to support but also brought food and grass.
Otherwise, more than 100,000 soldiers would not last long and would have a stomachache. At this time, the rice shops in Shangzhou had become the food for the soldiers.
Li Yuanji sent a large number of troops to try to break through the enemy's cavalry, but after several times, they failed and lost a lot of troops.
Infantry really has no advantage over cavalry. If there is a forest combat, it may be okay, but now we can only let the opponent's cavalry do whatever they want.
"Click all the troops and fight with me."
Li Yuanji has always been brave in wars. In order to defeat the other side, he mobilized a large number of people to go out to fight together, just to trap 50,000 cavalry, even if the people only fight with some stones.
The battlefield was very tragic at this time.
Li Yuanji mobilized all the soldiers and horses and directly chose to defeat them. This crazy fighting style caused Tuyuhun's cavalry to suffer a lot, and his soldiers and horses also suffered even greater losses.
When 50,000 reinforcements arrived, the battle between the two sides continued.
Li Yuanji's battle robe was covered with blood, and the guards around him had reduced from 500 to less than a few dozen.
This made Tuyuhun's cavalry retreat. The bad news was that the other party did not really leave but was stationed thirty miles away.
Li Yuanji's face was gloomy. Logically speaking, the Li family's soldiers and horses might be so weak. Even though the opponent has an advantage, it would not be so tragic.
After the war, only 100,000 soldiers and horses were counted to be less than 50,000, while the opponent's cavalry lost less than 10,000? This gap is really unacceptable.
Li Yuanji was a little suspicious of his life, and the combat effectiveness of the Knight Guard had dropped too much, which made him feel strange.
After understanding, I found out that most of the 100,000 soldiers and horses are recruits. The Knight Guard is indeed Li Jiancheng's Knight Guard, but there are not many experienced Knight Guard generals.
The fundamental reason is that the Tang State needs to expand the combat effectiveness of the recruits recruited by the troops is not good enough.
Li Yuanji had no choice but to use his desperate fighting style. The soldiers suffered more losses and the casualties of the people were even more severe.
After Li Yuan received the latest battle report, he immediately asked someone to increase his troops. This battle must not allow Tuyuhun to succeed? If they were allowed to occupy Shangzhou? Really cut off the connection between Chang'an and Jiangling and other places, it would be equivalent to directly trapping Tang Kingdom to death.
In order to prevent the Tang Dynasty from perishing? At the suggestion of the court officials, someone sent a letter to Wagang City.
Li Yuan must let Li Shimin take action. With the existing soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, can he really not be able to defeat him? Even if he fights, he will suffer heavy losses.
Besides, if you can keep the first time, what about the second time?
What he feared the most was not Tuyuhun, but Tubo.
Li Yuan immediately increased his troops in Shangzhou? On the one hand, he was waiting for Li Shimin.
In the palace of Wagang City? After receiving the war report, Li Shimin angrily threw the war report to the ground? His anger was all brought to him by Li Yuanji.
He actually used the people to delay local cavalry? He used the method of dying, and he simply did not take the country seriously.
At the same time, he also questioned Li Yuan's ability? The strength of the 600,000 soldiers and horses was simply vulnerable? The 100,000 soldiers and horses directly lost 50,000? If this continues, the Tang Kingdom will not be able to escape being destroyed by Tuyuhun.
"Gather 200,000 troops to Shangzhou? We are bound to win the 50,000 cavalry in Tuyuhun."
At this moment, Li Shimin’s grand ambitions were all shown.
The Tang State's 600,000 soldiers were not strong enough. If they could wipe out Tuyuhun's troops and occupy Chang'an and Luoyang in one fell swoop? The Tang State would take all his hands.
This is the best opportunity.
Li Shimin's approach was a bit bold, and he wanted to use force to directly threaten the Tang Kingdom. Is it okay if he succeeded? If he failed, he might cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun Wuji still felt that he should be more conservative, but Li Shimin said rightly this time was indeed a rare opportunity.
Finally, after a group of people discussed it, a plan was formulated? �
Shangzhou is their goal.
The 200,000 troops from Wagang City were dispatched. This time, Li Shimin personally led the troops, and all the troops brought out were elite.
The cavalry in Shangzhou and Tuyuhun were robbing the periphery. Li Yuanji sent tens of thousands of troops to attack and stop them, but the infantry could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry and felt that they would be lost every time.
