Chapter 703: Convergence of Soldiers and Horses

"The Grand Commander, when he was serving, he heard that the soldiers and horses of various forces had met the Turkic cavalry and were maintaining restraint. According to the analysis, a war was about to take place."

"Yeah, I understand."

Li De was counting the material list on his carriage. This time he gained a lot and had sent a thousand cavalry to transport the material through the sea.

The purpose of cooperating with the Zheng family is to take risks in the coastal line. It is unsafe to transport horses, but if the interests are too great, it will not be safe to go on the land.

"Grandmaster, the last spoils seized have been transported away."

"good."

After deployment, all the subsequent action plans were assigned to the commanders, and the cavalry who explored the way in Youzhou had set off.

The Turkic soldiers and horses were not very good after a day of renovation and recovery, and there were always people attacking the camp at night.

The warriors ran away when they sent troops and could not fight at all. If they did not send out the pursuers to attack on their own initiative, they would have suffered a lot of casualties.

If the Turkic cavalry hadn't had a lot of people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of sleeping all night, so the situation on both sides would be different.

The troops who attacked were also tired.

"Grandmaster, if we keep this, we will be dragged down."

"Gather the troops and follow the general to rush out."

The Turkic generals were already aware of the problem and according to the plan, they began to break through.

The combat effectiveness of more than 200,000 cavalrymen cannot be underestimated.

When all the cavalry started charging, they were like arrows off the strings. Although there were many pursuers in front of them, there were no horses. They were hit by the horses at the beginning of the battle and suffered heavy casualties.

"Run out."

The Turkic cavalry were all crazy, and no one was surrounded by enemies of the same force and were unmoved. In order to survive, they had to show their courage.

"Stop them." The scene was chaotic from the beginning, with multiple forces blocking each other.

When Li Jiancheng saw this situation, he always looked for opportunities to raid on the periphery. They were all cavalrymen and they did not charge in order to preserve their strength.

I have been wandering around the periphery, looking for opportunities.

The Wagang soldiers had a strong fighting spirit, and even the people they brought with them were very brave. It was not that they thought they were good, but that they were so brave when they entered the battle.

In half a day, the combined 500,000 and 600,000 troops on both sides did not stop until the Youzhou soldiers led by Li De arrived, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the air.

"Grandmaster, they have been fighting for a whole morning."

The scouts revealed the latest news they knew. The two sides were really angry in the morning. According to roughly statistics, both sides lost tens of thousands of people together.

The Turkic cavalry suffered relatively less losses.

Li De saw Du Fuwei's volunteer soldiers fighting bravely in front of him, and also saw the few cavalry forces, but those cavalry were holding the Li family's flag, but they knew at a glance that they were fetching water.

The Turkic side was all cavalry themselves, and the losses were relatively small. It can be seen that those cavalry were about to break out of the siege.

However, there were too many pursuers, and they didn't rush out for a whole morning, which was already dangerous.

"Arrange the array and block the back path."

When Li De had not appeared just now, the Turkic general really wanted to gather troops and retreat. The pursuers behind were Yi soldiers, and their strength was relatively weaker than others.

These situations were seen by experienced generals, so they wanted to retreat if they couldn't rush forward. They only needed enough time to fix it, and it wouldn't be too difficult to leave.

Unfortunately, they were shattered by Li De as soon as they had these ideas.

"Youzhou soldiers!"

The flags raised by Li De were all very large. The Turkic cavalry were very familiar with the flag of Youzhou. After all, the grudges between the two sides were very serious.

"General, he is a soldier in Youzhou."

"Youzhou soldiers are chasing you."

The moment Li De's Youzhou soldiers appeared, everyone was paying attention, and there was too much hearing about the news about this army.

The Turkic generals had a strange expression when they saw it, which made them firmly believe that they had to seize the time to rush out and could not retain their strength.

"rush."

"Run out."

On the one hand, those who come to compete for profit are afraid of losing the first move, while on the other hand, those who are afraid that Youzhou soldiers will intervene and put pressure on them to break out of the encirclement and even fail the plan.

The cavalry of all kinds is much worse than the cavalry of the Li family. In terms of quantity, the Li family's cavalry was completely defeated, and the other forces with excellent military armor were completely defeated.

"Brother, why are they here?" Li Yuanji said.

Li Jiancheng really didn't want to answer, but he didn't know, but soon he felt that he was really here right this time. What else would they be afraid of with the help of Youzhou soldiers?

Li Jiancheng was no longer paying attention to the battlefield, so he immediately came to Youzhou Bing to get close to his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to come too. Now the Turkic cavalry is determined to leave. If we need anything, we will do our best as long as we know it."

Li Jiancheng came over and got close to him. They knew there was no capital to talk about. Since that was the case, they would take the initiative to help others and share the benefits.

Li De knew what Li Jiancheng meant. According to the scout's news, the Li family came with cavalry, and cooperation could improve a lot of combat effectiveness.

But some of the trophys have to be divided.

Li De agreed without thinking about it. Such people who take the initiative to come and ask for work have little benefits and no need to think about the pros and cons.

"Okay, it's just that in this situation, it's not a long-term solution to block the Turkic cavalry here. People still have to let go to maximize their interests." Li De said.

Li Jiancheng immediately understood what this meant.

The current battle seems to be an advantage in combat, but the cavalry they killed will be protected by their people. It doesn’t benefit much if they look at those who participate in the battle for such a long time.

Not only did he not get any benefits, he lost a lot of troops.

Since they are pursuers, they should give full play to their own advantages. For example, they are all cavalrymen, and they can pursue them by letting them go.

Compared to those who don’t have horses, they can’t catch up at all, and they can’t catch up with the supplies they get from war horses.

This was what Li Jiancheng thought about himself. In fact, Li De saw that this was the only way for the other party to not send a large number of troops to charge forward and they would not be at a disadvantage in defense.

So the purpose of letting them go is to facilitate pursuit, and there is really no other thought.

But this does not affect what will happen next.

Li De had asked people to prepare. The Youzhou soldiers have always been disciplined, and even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are very serious when fighting.

In close combat, the cavalry all wore equipment, small shields on their arms, spears for charge, and a layer of chain mail covered by the horses were all used to protect the horses.

The war horses also have horns on their foreheads, which really look like unicorns, but these things seem to be decorated with not actually solid iron horns.

The inside is a wooden cone, which is on the outside with an iron hoop, which has a certain lethality when it hits.
