Chapter 1098 All parties appear
When the melee outside Shangzhou City, the vanguard soldiers had already felt that the vanguard soldiers had been observing the situation before Zhang Zhongjian's vanguard soldiers arrived.
Who knew that Zhang Zhongjian arrived with the cavalry and launched an attack without saying a word. He had no idea whether they were really so confident that they wanted to pass by with their strength.
The message can only be passed back to the main force of the vanguard soldiers who rushed over from behind.
The one who led the troops this time was still Pei Qingxuan, the wife of the Grand Commander. Pei Qingxuan's position as a vanguard soldier has risen sharply since the Battle of Central Plains, and she also likes to lead troops to fight.
Of course, Li De had to support him, and this would not all draw all his strongest combat power to work under Pei Qingxuan.
"Commander, I, Old Cheng, am willing to play the striker in this battle."
"Commander, Xiong Kuohai asks for battle."
"Sister...the commander must let the heavy armored cavalry be the vanguard."
"Shut up when you have enough. Now the enemy and us fight and cause chaos, it will probably be even more chaotic. I am telling me that the three lieutenants, including Xiong Kuohai, Cheng Zhijie, and Yuchi Jingde, led 100,000 troops to pursue the Tubo escort team, and be sure to rescue the people."
"The last general will take the order!" the three of them said in unison.
The three of them left, and the Pei brothers who were left immediately became timid when they saw Pei Qingxuan's face.
"It's not easy for you two to make a name for their military achievements."
Pei Yuanqing looked frustrated. Facing his elder sister and the others had no temper at all, they could not resist at all.
"Sister, let the heavy armored cavalry join the war and end the battle soon. Seeing that the Tubo soldiers and horses are all good things, you won't be cheaper for others."
Pei Yuanqing still complained a little.
"Is this why I am the commander and you are the captains. Are the Tubo soldiers so easy to deal with only the immediate interests?"
Pei Qingxuan was not timid, but asked Hong Mudan's people to investigate before going to war. This time, Tubo dispatched more than 200,000 troops.
Tubo and Tuyuhun dispatched a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses. The 200,000 soldiers and horses that they now see are just attracting attention.
In fact, their real purpose was to rob the Tang Kingdom, and the number of people escorted reached 100,000, which was just the people and materials, and it was impossible to count them.
Moreover, the opponent is all cavalry, and once the situation is not good, they will choose to leave immediately. If you really want to pursue, you have to keep up with the speed. Even if there are cavalry who keep up with the 100,000 soldiers waiting in the border area, how to deal with it?
The pursuit is to deal with 300,000 soldiers and horses. Zhang Zhongjian's soldiers may have the power to fight, but they are absolutely impossible to win.
Before Pei Qingxuan went to war, Li De told her a lot of things. Don’t be sure that many people were touched and that even if there were many soldiers and horses on the border, they would be turned over by the other side.
The main reason is altitude sickness. People who have just arrived cannot adapt, otherwise the other party would not only rob and not really occupy the city of Tang.
Obviously, occupying and conquering territory is the safest way, but they don’t want cities and finances and populations.
After Pei Qingxuan learned the news, she immediately knew why Li De had such arrangements for sending troops. It was newspapers and mobilized, but she knew that the other party could not stay for too long.
It is not easy to adjust your lifestyle with different habits.
The purpose of sending troops this time was to drive the enemy back, and the other was to attack the Tang Kingdom.
If you have such a good opportunity, you must take advantage of it. Maybe next time the other party wants to invade, you will have to face their anger.
Li De's idea is so realistic. There are three major cities in the Tang State with troops of 600,000, and the soldiers and horses of Li Shi, Wagang, were almost 600,000. So many people are not opponents of Tubo. This is a manifestation of incompetence.
Not to mention the lack of war horses, I remember that when Youzhou was developing, it also accumulated little by little.
Nowadays, the development of Youzhou science and technology has been considered the first step in industrial technology, and what we need to change is the people of the world.
Youzhou has also expanded its territory a lot in recent years. It is not delayed to accumulate more experience and promote peaceful development.
Moreover, the Tang Kingdom cannot continue to develop like this. It will be a matter of time before the unification of the world is possible.
Pei Qingxuan still explained the situation to her two younger brothers. They were all the soldiers who led the army did not want them to cause misunderstandings due to some things, so they would naturally resolve the conflict by saying that the situation was broken.
Pei Yuanqing and Pei Yuantong learned about the situation and realized that their purpose was not for war horse supplies but for the overall situation.
This is related to the power of the Tang Kingdom and its future enemy against the border.
With 200,000 cavalrymen joining on the battlefield, Li Yuanji found an opportunity this time when the opponent was dragged out, the advantage of the cavalry was not so obvious.
The pressure on the Tubo soldiers to rush into the battlefield was getting stronger and stronger.
However, before they could get used to it, a large group of cavalrymen with over 10,000 cavalrymen emerged from Shangzhou, forming a trend of surrounding them.
The Tubo cavalry knew that they could not stay and immediately chose to retreat. They had to escape as soon as they fought and did not give them a chance to fight hard.
Zhang Zhongjian suddenly launched a charge and really gained some advantages. Unexpectedly, the soldiers in Shangzhou City would come out to support him. As a result, the Zhang family's troops did not suffer too much loss. The same Tubo soldiers retreated immediately, and they would not get any benefits unless they pursued them.
The Pei brothers who were observing the battle situation in the distance also knew that they were a bit rash when they wanted to charge with heavy armored cavalry.
The other party is unwilling to fight and cannot hold them back. This is a waste of effort. Even if he delays, the one who benefits the most must be the Zhang family cavalry and the soldiers of Shangzhou who support and support.
It’s not that the number of vanguards is not enough, but that the venue is so large. If it is really seventy or eight hundred thousand soldiers and horses are mixed together, not only will they not have military achievements but will affect each other.
"The vanguard soldiers obey orders and pursue them immediately."
Pei Qingxuan would leave some of them to stay behind, and directly sending the remaining troops to pursue them, which was just right for cooperation with the vanguard soldiers in front of him, and there was a high chance of leaving these enemies.
Pei Qingxuan's fighting style is very adventurous. She wants to win with less and rely on the combat effectiveness of Youzhou soldiers, but the confidence is based on the latest developed horse war guns they carried.
Cavalry charges and short-distance battles can only take away one wave, and then they can get twice the result with half the effort.
Without advanced weapons, Li De didn't want the vanguard soldiers to take risks.
The Pei brothers and other generals immediately set out to pursue.
Zhang Zhongjian's goal of pursuing him was halfway through his goal. He successfully retreated to the enemy and now he wanted to ask Li Shimin for the rewards he deserved and talk about the Tuyuhun territory.
Li Shimin kept watching the battle on the city wall. When the Tubo cavalry retreated, he knew that the purpose was achieved.
