Chapter 1145 Xue Yantuo's Department
Xueyantuo's troops learned a long time later that the cavalry they sent were defeated by the Shuofang cavalry.
For this reason, all the nobles of Xueyantuo's tribe could not sit still and wanted their leaders to send troops to attack the Tang Kingdom and to come back to Shuofang for revenge.
Their ideas have always been like this.
The matter of sending troops to Tang State began to discuss, and the loss of cavalry was a trivial matter. After all, the number of people was very small, but the previous time it robbed them a small and medium-sized tribe.
No one can forget this matter yet, although they believe in the law of the strong, their thoughts will inevitably become diverse when they find losses themselves.
Especially the few nobles who sent troops to snatch the caravans lost thousands of cavalry and supplies, which meant that their property was reduced.
The reduction in the property and materials of the Xueyantuo tribe will become declining and will decline from its existing status, which is unacceptable to the nobles, because they must take corresponding measures to make up for their losses.
Sending troops to attack the Tang Kingdom was the solution they came up with, and they received support from many nobles.
Xue Yantuo's cavalry was dispatched, and 100,000 cavalry rushed directly to Shuofang City.
At this time, Li Yuanji had just won the battle, and his daily actions were very low-key, and he appeared in the cavalry barracks almost every day to supervise training.
The King of Qi was in charge and no soldier dared to be lazy. You should know that the King of Qi has a very hot temper. If he is very dissatisfied with him, he will not be satisfied.
Li Yuanji Chuxuan has been in the cavalry barracks for a long time, and training cavalry is the most important thing, even if he encounters enemy cavalry, it will play the greatest role.
Occasionally, he would check the training of the new arrival soldiers, and his subordinates could deal with these things.
He appeared to supervise training. Cavalry is very important, and these 50,000 soldiers are equally important to him.
Li Yuanji is very good at training soldiers, so he asked the soldiers to adapt to the living environment here before starting training. The first thing is to boost physical fitness.
No matter what kind of troops it is, it is the most important thing to have a good body. If they are allowed to wear incomplete armor and fight, it may be no different from dying.
Physical fitness is the most important thing. In order to be able to quickly train and form, fatigue training is used, which means rest after intense exercise and recurring.
The soldiers in Chang'an are all familiar with training, but they have only seen Li Yuanji's training method for the first time.
Usually, they would raise weapons at once, and as the lieutenants used a few moves, they could handle the situation. After arriving in Shuofang, they really saw the terribleness of King Qi.
Here I just woke up and started another day of training.
In the morning, I had to run around Shuofang City. I had to exercise very strongly and then I was allowed to rest after I persisted.
After almost a month of training, these soldiers have adapted to the current training mode and just stick to it every day.
I can still eat some meat when I go to the restaurant. Compared to their food and clothing in Chang'an, I heard that these are all purchased by His Highness King Qi personally.
If you want to count on the Ministry of War, there is only some food where can you get beef and mutton. The diet in Shuofang is the most satisfying thing.
I have improved my food and exercised very hard and I have already reached a different state.
In just one month, you can form combat power by passing the airport battle formation.
Li Yuanji really wanted them to complete the training content as soon as possible. These people are Shuofang's defensive forces and must not relax.
As the saying goes, today's cause and tomorrow's result, Xueyantuo's troops sent 100,000 cavalry on their way to Shuofang.
They must adopt a strong attack to make Tang Guo frightened.
Did Xue Yantuo's leader do something to send troops because of the instigation of several nobles? Of course not. The more important reason for sending troops was that he wanted to regain Mobei.
The purpose of fighting with the Tang State was to gain effective geographical advantage, and to test the Tang State. They knew very well that the main enemy in the north of the Mo was the vanguard of Youzhou.
The Tang Kingdom was just a "fat sheep" for them to plunder resources.
They thought so that when Tuyuhun and Tubo were able to join forces with each other, they could enter the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, but in the end they failed.
When Xue Yantuo received the news, he analyzed it at that time. The main reason was that he lost to underestimating the enemy, and because of the efforts to capture, the troops were restrained.
This is also because of the joining of vanguards, the failure rate increased.
Xue Yantuo analyzed the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun thoroughly. When they thought about their own situation, they found that they still had great advantages compared to the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom.
Cavalry is a powerful weapon that can pinch the throat of Tang. They also believe that it is better to send troops to Tang than to the Tang Dynasty, because it is very unfavorable for them to strengthen training for the Tang Dynasty.
If they could do so, they would like to go to Chang'an to investigate whether it would be beneficial to their troops.
However, Shuofang's cavalry has repeatedly attacked them to the bottom that cannot be ignored. If they are attacked again, the nobles will feel insecure.
It is a very troublesome thing for the nobles to feel insecurity. Then it will inevitably be bloody again.
Xue Yantuo's leader knew that it was unwise to go to Tang State to rashly at this time. Since the Shuofang cavalry was already hostile to them, there was no need to think too much.
In addition, to appease the nobles, one can only let 100,000 cavalry solve this problem.
The soldiers in Shuofang City gathered together and they had to exercise every day. It had become a habit. When they were about to start, the sound of drums suddenly sounded on the city wall.
"General, I found Xue Yantuo's cavalry, and the number of people was large, but it is not counted at present." The general of the city defense ran to Li Yuanji to apply, and said with a anxious look on the matter of discovering the enemy.
"Notify the generals guarding the city to prepare for the battle, and also inform the people in the city to stay at home and not to walk around."
The generals guarding the city immediately received the order.
Li Yuanji sent someone to anxious all his subordinates. Xue Yantuo sent troops and they had to defend Shuofang.
After Li Yuanji's instructions, the soldiers returned to their posts.
The person who sent the order sent a letter to Chang'an for help in an urgent manner.
Li Yuanji thought about Xue Yantuo's people coming back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It's no wonder that the troops had to be sent as soon as possible so that they would not leave more preparation time for their opponents.
Xue Yantuo's 100,000 cavalry appeared majestic outside Shuofang City. To be honest, they did not have much experience in siege.
Moreover, the cities of the Tang Kingdom are very high, and the conventional methods of siege are cloud ladders and striking wood, one for climbing the wall, the other for hitting the door, and the more powerful one is a catapult.
But there are not many such equipment, not to mention Xue Yantuo, and even Tang Kingdom. If they want to attack a strong city, their generals will go crazy.
Li Yuanji was not afraid at all when he stood at the city wall meeting. He raised the reinforced city wall, and the products of stone bricks and cement were not allowed to attack such a city without any means.
