Chapter 552 Waiting for the Fighter
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi left with their troops. Halfway through the way, they heard a scout coming to send a message, and the Li family's troops were trapped in front of Jiangling City.
In their opinion, this is really an irony, and an emergency is something that no one can imagine.
"Save it or not?" Zhang Jin asked.
"Now the Turkic soldiers are only 30,000 troops scattered and surrounded the Li brothers, and they may be caught off guard." Xue Zhi said.
"Then save me. No matter how much the Li brothers say, they are related to the Grand Commander. Besides, they are all soldiers of the Sui Kingdom who have lost their losses here," Zhang Jin said.
The two reached an agreement in a tacit understanding.
When the vanguard soldiers returned to the conflict, they did not rush to take action. They were not deliberately consuming the combat power of the Li family, but they were responsible for all the soldiers of the vanguard soldiers, so most of the inquiries were done by scouts.
They were unable to determine whether Jiangling City would open the door and could only wait.
Several scouts lurked and approached the generals and then reported the situation one after another. Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi felt that the opportunity was rare. They had 50,000 elite soldiers, and the Li family's soldiers had a chance of winning.
After preparing the troops, they charged forward with all their strength. They still had the previous tactics and did not fight. The black world's fire could not give the enemy a chance to hold them back.
So, under the opening of the heavy armored cavalry, the Turkic team was directly divided into two.
"Brother, look, it's the vanguard soldier to reinforce." Li Yuanji said happily.
"Come on, hurry up." Li Jiancheng and his men took advantage of the chaos of the Turks and rushed over and happened to catch up with a tail. Although they lost some people, they still successfully escaped.
The vanguard soldiers did not love to fight. Although the charge just now was hasty, it was only enough to kill many enemies, killing many enemies.
After they left the vanguard team, they were not pursued. At this time, the Turks gathered again and began to retreat. Their losses were considerable. After such a riot, they had a serious impact on their plans.
"Thank you, the two generals for helping you."
After Li Jiancheng escaped from the trap, he expressed his gratitude to the two. Although he was the commander of Youzhou, it is actually not an exaggeration to call him General, and the words make people feel comfortable.
"General Li doesn't have to pay much attention. If it gets late, leave quickly to avoid pursuers." Zhang Jin said.
They didn't have much friendship at first, and now it's not the time to talk. However, Li Jiancheng did not leave but said directly: "I don't know if we can station in the Pioneer Army camp where we are not stationed, so we can serve as a supporting defense."
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi looked at each other and knew that Li Jiancheng was afraid, and of course they might have other purposes. In short, there was no loss for them. They would be safer if they had more assistance.
"Then let's go back together." Zhang Jin said.
When they returned to the barracks, the vanguard soldiers began to repair, and all the injured soldiers had to undergo treatment. After a long time, it was only when the sky was dark.
The people Li Jiancheng led were not so particular. They didn't have time to set up a tent and could only team next to the Pioneer's garrison for one night. They just woke up during the day.
It would be strange if you could rest well when you sleep in the open at night, the soldiers were very tired.
On the other hand, the vanguard soldiers slept late but the entire barracks were in order, and there was no other sound except the snoring of the soldiers when they were sleeping.
The first soldier saw that the time should be cooked, and they were all pancakes and soup, but the supplies were limited, but there was no matter what the Li family soldiers did. Everyone woke up at noon and had something to eat when they woke up.
The hot broth soaked cakes were restored after eating.
At this time, Zhang Jin and Xue Zhicai really came over. They could not afford the Li family's military service, but it was still possible to give Li brothers some wine and meat.
"Can General Li rest?" Zhang Jin asked.
"Well, the barracks are being built, and the defense in the future will depend on two generals." Li Jiancheng said.
"Where are we all working together. General Li, who attacked the Turkic barracks last night, did he make efforts. Do you have any plans next?" Zhang Jin continued to ask.
It is embarrassing to tell what happened to the Li brothers yesterday, but it is related to the plan of the vanguard soldiers. After all, the number of Turks is twice theirs, and if they can cooperate with each other, they will have more chances of winning.
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi discussed it now, it depends on the attitude of the Li brothers. In fact, what happened yesterday was really infuriating, and it also proves from another perspective that His Majesty's prudence is ruthless.
If they hadn't come to save the Li brothers and more than 10,000 soldiers would have died at the hands of the Turks. Now they can share the same hatred for the victory.
"This battle is to solve the Jiangling trap. Now that we have not achieved our goal, we will not retreat. If the vanguard troops go to fight, we are willing to be vanguards." Li Jiancheng said.
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi understood and left after talking about some cooperation. Although the soldiers had to do what they should do after a morning rest.
No one can guarantee that the Turkic soldiers will not take advantage of this time to send troops to attack them.
"Brother, why do you want to be the vanguard of the vanguard? Yesterday, Emperor Yang of Sui treated us like that, and asked me to say that it would be better to be Taiyuan Prefecture." Li Yuanji said angrily.
Li Jiancheng was relatively calm and said, "Third brother, we can't leave like this. I have already written a letter to send it back to Taiyuan Prefecture. I believe my father will have any worries."
Li Yuanji didn't want to think too much, anyway, whatever his elder brother said would be whatever he said.
"Yuan Ji, how are your injuries?" Li Jiancheng said with concern.
"It has been much better after using the Pioneer's healing medicine. It's not a big injury." Li Yuanji said.
Last night, the Turks attacked the Turks and burned their camps and food. After the Turks gathered troops returned, the fire could not be extinguished, but the rest of them were all out of trouble.
After counting in the morning, the number of people was more than 7,000 in one night, and there was no morale at all. The combat effectiveness of Turkic soldiers and horses decreased directly.
Emperor Yang of Sui did not rest well. War was happening outside Jiangling City. It would be strange if he could rest well until the second half of the night, Yuwen Chengdu came to report the situation outside the city.
Emperor Yang of Sui finally came to his sense of peace when he heard that everyone had left, but then Jiangling City drew a few horses and a few spies from the city wall, and they went to urge reinforcements.
At the same time, the emperor's handwriting was sent to the vanguard soldiers, which was to let them defeat the enemy as soon as possible.
Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi did not take the handwriting seriously, and they still let the soldiers set up defenses and rest and prepare for preparations.
The Turks were so angry that they did not leave, but changed to a new station. This time they were quite strict about patroling at night. If they wanted to enter the camp, they had to check two posts and check more carefully.
After information about the scouts of the Pioneer Army, Zhang Jin and Xue Zhi knew that it was impossible to get in again, and it might not be useful for a few people to enter.
They have not moved since they received the emperor's handwritten instructions, and no one knows what they are going to do, and the vanguards watch it all the time, in fact, they know they are waiting for the fighter plane.
