Chapter 696
"General Zhang, look at the Turks starting to retreat." Xiao Xian stood on the city wall and said in surprise.
Zhang Zhongjian has been observing what just happened and he has seen it. It has now proved that these Turkic soldiers really won’t really fight to the death.
Now seeing so many soldiers in the Sui Kingdom have the strength to compete with them, I thought about leaving, and sighed in my heart that Jiangling is still too few in terms of the number of soldiers.
If all 100,000 people went out to fight, the other party would definitely leave like now, because the advantage of the soldiers is that they can take the other party to suffer losses on a large scale.
The Knight Guards did it, but they didn't, but he was sure that even if he had a city facing the Knight Guards.
They just watched on the city wall, and the people of the Knight Guards simply turned a blind eye to Jiangling City, or they had no time to care about it.
The battle lasted a little long, until the back of the gate of Jiangling City had been piled up by stones before both sides left outside the city.
Zhang Zhongjian watched the cavalry guards chased the Turkic soldiers and left, but he just felt a very bad feeling.
"Save it." Xiao Xian said.
At this time, the sun sets and the sky soon becomes dark.
"Lord Xiao City, I don't know the other party's result yet, so I can't take it lightly. You must know that we are now the targets of the Sui army and the Turkic soldiers." Zhang Zhongjian said.
"You are right. I'm going to worry about the people in the city asking them to help them build the city gate directly with pairs of stones, so that the city will not be broken." Xiao Xian said.
Zhang Zhongjian watched Xiao Xian go to work. He really didn't want to attack the opponent. The Turkic cavalry was not good at siegeing the city. This time the cavalry guards came here. No matter how strong the siege battle was, at least they were very familiar with the tactics of siege.
Facing the cavalry guards may be more dangerous than the Turkic cavalry.
Besides, Yuwen Chengdu pursued it, but in fact he was restrained all the way. After all, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was noticed.
The cavalry guards really didn't have much success in their activities, so they followed the way and had to stop to repair them.
After a long journey, after a battle, the soldiers' fatigue will increase greatly as soon as this force passes. Yuwen Chengdu sees the situation that appears.
The 300,000 Turkic soldiers returned to their base. With defense, they knew that if they were in the battle, it might cause the opponent to fight desperately.
Yuwen Chengdu was not stupid either. He was always on the same level. His purpose was to drive the Turkic soldiers back to Mobei.
It's really not OK to come.
Yuwen Chengdu's attack was rapid, and their troops were at a triangle distance from the Turkic headquarters and Jiangling.
No matter which side is dispatched, they can move forward or backward as soon as possible.
In the Turkic camp, many generals gathered together to study their plans. Now, including the new reinforcements, it was already a third wave of setbacks.
They have the advantage of 300,000 soldiers, but their achievements are not satisfactory. If they continue like this, their result will be eventually pursued and escape from the Sui Kingdom.
The Turkic general was contrary to their purpose, and the Turkic general was unwilling to go back like this, so that their leader Khan would no longer trust him.
"Sui State reinforcements arrived. Do we want to deal with these people?" asked the Turkic general.
This decision depends on the attitude of the generals. Once the decision is made, it means fighting with all your might, and losses will definitely be inevitable.
Even the Turkic general could not let many tribes fight with just one sentence.
"General, if you want to solve these pursuers, you will drag them to wait until they are short of food and grass, and it will naturally retreat. At that time, we will definitely pay a huge price for them to fight back."
"Don't forget, they can be replenished through the state government." At this time, someone came out to remind him.
"Now many prefectures have broken away from the rule of the Sui State. We may only attack the prefectures of the Sui State, so that our resistance should be smaller."
Someone spoke out again, and his statement was immediately recognized by several generals.
"Maybe we have a better way, rather than unite the rebels to help them deal with the troops of the Sui Kingdom, so that we can get benefits directly from the rebels."
The Turkic general listened to everyone's words and felt that it made sense.
"Okay, you can send someone to contact me first. If you can solve the problem of the Sui State's cavalry guards, it will be beneficial to both sides."
It has to be said that there are still many people among the Turkic generals who have brains, and the benefits they can get by snatching them all the way cannot satisfy them.
The next day, the Turks sent liaison personnel to Jiangling to deliver the letter.
The cavalry guard did not move.
Now the three sides have sufficient reaction distances. Yuwen Cheng knew that as long as the Turks wanted to escape, even if they pursued them, it would be useless. If they caught up, they would still have to bear the loss of troops.
One hundred thousand to three hundred thousand, they really can't stand the cavalry.
Xiao Xian was very surprised. He didn't expect that the Turks would ask someone to send a letter. At this time, Zhang Zhongjian was also discussing this matter.
"General Zhang, the Turkic soldiers proposed that it could help us eliminate the cavalry guards, but they needed cooperation and sufficient benefits."
Then Xiao Xian told the materials and wealth needed by the Turkic soldiers.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjian fell into thinking. The cavalry guards led troops to Emperor Yang of Sui. If they could really be eliminated, there would be a lot of resistance for them.
But it was a bad idea to do a deal with the Turks, not to mention that the conditions raised by the other party were really too much. I have to say that the result was very attractive.
"Lord Xiao, it is obvious that we have all made the most efforts." Zhang Zhongjian said.
"We also lack material wealth. If we promise them, we can have a large number of war horses to form cavalry." Xiao Xian said.
"Isn't the temptation of 30,000 cavalrymen attractive?" Xiao Xian said.
As a general who leads troops, he is very concerned about such good things.
Cavalry is no better than infantry. The combat effectiveness of cavalry can be said to be enough to resist 50,000 infantry as long as one thousand cavalry is trained well.
Zhang Zhongjian was really moved, but working with the Turks would affect their reputation, even fatal.
"It is difficult to make a decision on Xiaochengzhang's matter. Do you want to lose your reputation?"
Xiao Xian fell into deep thought again, which affected his reputation. In the future, recruiting troops and appeaseing the people will be affected.
Besides, who would like to be crushed by someone behind his back every day?
"Are you agree or not?" Xiao Xian asked.
Zhang Zhongjian had no idea either. The advantage in front of him was that as long as he formed an alliance, Jiangling would immediately obtain 30,000 war horses.
And they also have to pay some strength and reputation for this.
The cavalry guards brought by Yuwen Chengdu did not start a war against the Turks the day after they arrived, and the Turkic soldiers were also very calm.
The three forces were silently confronting each other in such a very embarrassing situation.
Is it really a silent confrontation? Yuwen Chengdu received the order and Emperor Yang of Sui had only one requirement, that is, he only had good news.
