Chapter 438
Li De led people to meet with He Bida and others.
"Governor, the Turks did not move. Currently, there are only people from the Northern Barbarians. The scouts came to report that there were less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Their purpose should be to take advantage of the chaos to attack and reap the benefits of the fisherman." He Bida said.
"But the situation was not what they expected. The Turks did not gain any advantage. If they wanted to take advantage, we would take them back." Shi Huaiyi said.
"The situation is unknown, but you can't miss the opportunity. Since the two groups are not together, we can borrow the fragrance of flowers." Li Dedao.
"The governor is wise, and we still have a little inventory on our hands, but it doesn't have much, but it can play a certain role if we use the wind."
"Prepare, if you want to beat our Qiufeng, you must leave a price for them." Li De said confidently.
He Bida came over and lowered his voice and said, "The materials we seized are nearby. If they are transported now, it may be a drag. It is not safe without many people guarding them. This matter should be resolved at present."
"Well, although the Northern Barbarians have not many troops, they are all elite. How much supplies do you get?" Li De was very curious when he saw He Bida so serious.
He Bida approached Li De's side and said a few words softly.
Li De's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "It seems that this battle has gained a lot. Now I will bring people to transport the supplies back to Youzhou City first. I will be in charge here. There will be no problem."
"Yes, I will come back as soon as possible." He Bida said.
He Bida and his friends only obtained 20% of the supplies for the Turkic people of 100,000 soldiers and horses. In just these 20%, there were more than 6,000 horses, and more cattle, sheep, and camels were used to transport supplies.
The people from the Northern Barbarians came here to do their best to treat them with all their might. If they did not transfer so many horses, cattle and sheep, they would not be able to do so for a long time.
There is a need to make a choice in the face of interests.
As the governor of the vanguard, Li De had to consider a lot of things. He was also very stressful to have so many people to eat. The accumulated materials used in the previous battle had been almost the same.
Now it is all supported by the cement kilns in Youzhou City and the store business in the city. If you are sailing against the current, you may capsize at any time, so it is necessary to give priority to materials.
He Bida left with thousands of people, which put a lot of pressure on the vanguard soldiers, but as long as the materials are transported in time, they can still come back in time.
Li De asked himself that he could do it.
"Report, the vanguard discovered the enemy's movements twenty miles away." The scout quickly rushed back to Li De on a horse and said.
"Prepare for battle and let them see how powerful our vanguard soldiers are."
This is not the first time fighting the Northern Barbarians.
Both sides have some understanding of the combat power. Li De believes that as long as they persist in the enemy's attack, they will be able to win. What they are most afraid of is that the Turks take the opportunity to take action.
"Shi Huaiyi, please take people to their flanks and try to harass them as much as possible. Remember not to fight, and then come back to meet up." Li De ordered.
"The last general will receive the order." Shi Huaiyi said.
"The shield soldiers formed a formation, and the Northern Barbarians could not step into the Sui State city." Li De shouted.
"Fight, fight, fight!"
The cavalry of the Northern Barbarians arrived soon, and they didn't know the situation of the Turks. This time, the Turks united several tribes to send 100,000 troops.
Several of the Northern Barbarian tribes joined. Yelu Baotai came here to seek revenge this time. The guards of Youzhou City defeated him. As a warrior in the tribe, no one could swallow this breath.
Their tribe has few people, so they often don’t send troops out easily. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they just wanted to wait for the Turks and Sui Kingdom to achieve their goal of robbing.
If possible, take revenge.
They didn't know what the current battle was. The news collected by the scouts was that the Turkic troops had retreated far from Youzhou City.
They didn't know what was going on, but they continued to rush, thinking that they would be able to know what happened when they arrived in Youzhou City.
Whoosh swish swish swish!
The arrow suddenly flew down from the sky, and Yelu Baotai's men avoided it, and even the formation was too late. Those with the shield supported the shield as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, they muttered about the power of the armor-breaking arrows. The small arrows could easily pierce their armor. Last time they had taken them back for some research, and concluded that the penetration power could not be damaged enough.
As tribal warriors, how could they be afraid of the enemy's weapon?
It's just that I'm not afraid of reality, but I'm afraid of death.
"Enemy attacks, protect the general."
Yelu Bao was really angry. He wanted to grab the benefits, but he was about to arrive in Youzhou City and encountered an attack. When the arrow rain fell, they defended and avoided the defense, the cavalry of the vanguard had already launched a charge.
The distance is not far, and the speed of the cavalry is quite good. The Hu Ben guards are wearing heavy armor and rushed to the front, with flying cavalry and leopard cavalry covering both sides.
After a while, Hu Ben's personal guard rushed directly into the enemy's troops.
Even if Yelu Baotai is brave, he is helpless when he sees a sudden attack, either fighting or retreating.
Just as he was hesitating, Li De led the main force to launch a full-scale attack, while the shield soldiers began to retreat. This rapid confrontation allowed the shield soldiers to directly participate.
They are good at defending and take this opportunity to retreat, and can organize a defense in front of Youzhou.
Li De's purpose was to delay time, but all attacks were not just to delay time. He really planned to have a decisive battle with the Beiman.
The momentum of fighting between the two sides and courage must not be relaxed, so Li De brought people to the battle himself and went straight to the front. When the soldiers saw it, they were all desperate.
Li De's role model, and he was becoming more and more skillful in using the weapons in his hand, and there were almost no enemies standing by his side among the army of ten thousand people.
Yelu Bao was very regretful. Why did they come here when they were staying well in the tribe? When they regretted it, they saw the number of soldiers on the other side. They were defeated by the few because of misjudgment.
Now, looking at the number of vanguard soldiers, it is impossible to make a false statement.
Yelu Baotai's eyes were bloody red. Both elites were suddenly attacked and they were passive. They felt vaguely that the soldiers' strength was suppressed.
"retreat!"
Yelu Baotai still made a choice, and the warriors he brought out died in vain if he didn't make a result.
Li De did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. He knew that his opponent's strength was very strong. He just seized the opportunity. If the opponent reacted, he would definitely do his best.
If there wasn't a Turk, Li De wouldn't have retreated.
The more important reason is that it is to delay time and achieve the goal. It is his usual style to stop the battlefield when it changes rapidly.
Another thing is that the walls of Youzhou City are tall and strong, and they are the best place for defense. There is no need to spend time with them here.
When the vanguard troops retreated, Yelu Bao really realized that the biggest problem was that the troops of the Sui Kingdom did not pursue, and people had to doubt it.
