Chapter 379
Luo Song and Wei Li were both very disappointed when they saw Li De. The enemy's main general was obviously very strong and was obviously an important general. They actually failed. It would be strange if they were happy.
"It seems that the enemy you are facing this time is very strong, and the next battle will be even more dangerous. Everyone is cheered up. The accidents that occur on the battlefield are unpredictable. The key is to make good arrangements just in case."
Li De watched the two people who were in a low mood and persuaded him that the enemy's chief general led a few people to escape, leaving more than 500 horses behind, and after calculating the accounts, they still made a profit.
"Sweep the battlefield and evacuate quickly and try to avoid us from appearing in the enemy's sight." Li De continued.
The vanguards acted very quickly, and the caravans were already empty, so they were just ready to clean up the battlefield.
The escaped Tuzhuo didn't know that after they ran away, he followed the spy.
Li Decai would not let the tiger return to the mountain easily. If he put such a fierce general back, he would not bring back his enemies.
Tuzhuo ran away in a panic. He found that his physical condition was very wrong after being shot. He ran for ten miles and suddenly lost consciousness and fell directly from the horse. The guards following him were shocked.
"General!"
Tuzhu fell off his horse and suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"The arrow is poisonous!"
After saying that, there was no breath.
The guard's expression changed drastically. They were unexpectedly surprised to see the remaining dozen people immediately put Tuzhu back on the horse, and they had to go back to report.
"Go away quickly and bring the news back to the main business."
There was no enemy on the way, but they didn't know that the spies of the vanguard had found the enemy's base through them, and at this time, the scouts did not give the remaining enemies a chance to go back and report the news.
As we approached, we were dealing with more than a dozen people.
It was already two hours before the scout returned again. According to the scout's report, it was found that the main force of the enemy soldiers was about 20,000 soldiers and horses, with strong soldiers and sufficient food and grass.
It is stationed thirty miles outside Youzhou City. You can attack the city with your own eyes and retreat without any obstacles. It is unrealistic to fight head-on.
Based on the information learned, Li De analyzed the current situation. For them, if they cannot enter the city, they will face danger at any time, and if they enter the city, they will face danger head-on.
There are pros and cons in both situations. With the situation of vanguard soldiers, the process will naturally be more stable, because there are too many supplies and too many carriages. It is not a rational choice to fight a chase with the enemy's cavalry.
There are few talents and we must ensure the safety of materials. The troops invested in combat will not be able to use all their strength. In addition to being used as baggage soldiers, the survival rate on the battlefield will be very low.
He was unwilling to use the lives of the soldiers to fight for military achievements, and the winning rate was not high and meaningless.
When choosing a process, you need to face the blockade of enemy soldiers first. Once you are surrounded by enemy soldiers, you will have to pay a great price to leave. He can't afford this price, so he has no plan to enter Youzhou City at all.
"Governor, the enemy is strong and powerful, and they are waiting for their hard work. How should we deal with it?" Shi Huaiyi asked.
He wanted to meet the local cavalry, and wanted to know the difference in combat power between the flying cavalry and the enemy, and there were some suspicions of being the main battle.
"Don't worry, if you want to fight, you need to win more with less. At present, we do not have this condition. The existing method is to attack the enemy on the outside and disrupt the enemy's normal deployment of troops."
Li De said one first, which immediately attracted the attention of the commanders.
"Hit, the flying cavalry is good at it." Shi Huaiyi said.
"Can harassment restrain the time, and delay can solve the crisis in Youzhou City?" Ding Qilin suddenly asked.
"Of course not. You are right. Haunting can only delay time, but it is not necessarily safe. If the enemy troops are dispatched to respond, the vanguard may be in crisis." Li De replied.
The captains were silent.
"If you want to solve the crisis in Youzhou City, you must find reinforcements and look at the map."
Li De said as he took the map and looked at the surrounding prefectures and towns, and placed his target on Taiyuan Prefecture.
"Yanmen is not too far away. It is naturally a good thing if the garrison forces can send troops to help. Unfortunately, their situation is too few and they cannot deal with it themselves, otherwise we will not fall into a passive position." Li De first mentioned Yanmen City.
He didn't know that the battle in Yanmen City was very lively now. General Yuwen Chengdu, Tianbao, was fighting against Turkic soldiers with 50,000 elite soldiers.
Several battles have been fought in just a few days, and both sides have been tempted. The main force has not been dispatched, perhaps waiting for the opportunity to defeat the enemy.
But that was all about Yuwen Chengdu, and Li De and others didn't know it.
"The only one who can borrow troops is the Duke of Tang from Taiyuan Prefecture, who is elite soldiers and generals. The number of people is not large, but his combat effectiveness is reliable." Li De did not say that he also liked the heavy armored cavalry of the Pei family, who was his cheap father-in-law.
I have more ideas in my mind, so it is difficult to say it in person.
"Duke of Tang, strong soldiers and strong horses, the Li family's children can fight well. It would be a good thing if they were asked to mobilize troops to help, but can Duke of Tang send troops?" Wei Li said in confusion.
How could they not know about the situation of Duke Tang as a general? Simply put, the emperor was afraid of the Li family, because they had soldiers.
If you send troops from Taiyuan Prefecture privately, it is a big taboo.
"Governor, the news must be sent back to Chang'an for this matter and let Your Majesty decide." Princess Yu hurriedly reminded him.
The lieutenants all agreed with Princess Yu's statement that sending troops across the prefectures without permission is not the final say of the Duke of Tang. If they are not recognized by the court, if they are sent, they will be attacked, and there will be endless troubles afterwards.
"What bad idea did you come up with? You're not cheating the Li family."
Li Xiuning spoke, and the lieutenants around him immediately looked at other places, pretending not to look at them.
"One of the solutions that can be thought of at present is the most reliable. Of course, what you said is right, but you can't let Youzhou City face difficulties and ignore them." Li De said.
"Besides, we are stationed in Youzhou City. The current situation cannot fulfill Your Majesty's order, and the vanguard soldiers are also inseparable. Everyone thinks about what solutions are there." Li De continued.
This is the situation. If you can’t borrow troops, how can you fight against the enemy?
"Hmph." Li Xiuning turned her face and looked a little angry. At this time, Li De could not persuade anyone in front of everyone, whether the majesty of a man is still needed.
"I think what the governor said makes sense, so you might as well give it a try."
Just as everyone was thinking, Princess Yu suddenly spoke out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Princess Yu, you are like him."
Li Xiuning was a little angry. Princess Yu has become their sisters and should not be careless in doing things.
