Chapter 696: As long as it is good news
General Zhang saw that the Turks were beginning to retreat. Xiao Mo stood on the city wall and said in amazement.
Zhang Zhongjian has been observing what has just happened, and he has seen it, and now it has been confirmed that these Turkic soldiers really will not really fight hard.
Now seeing that so many soldiers and horses of the Sui State have the strength to compete with them, he thought about leaving, and lamented in his heart that Jiangling was still too small in terms of the number of soldiers.
If all 100,000 people go out to line up to fight, the other side will definitely leave like now, because the advantage of more soldiers and horses is that they can make the other side suffer losses on a large scale.
The Horsemen did it, they didn't, but there was a city in the city, and he was sure that even in the face of the Horseguards.
They watched from the city wall like this, and the people of the cavalry guards simply ignored Gangneung City, or rather, they didn't have the time to care.
The battle lasted a little longer, and it was not until the back of the gate of Gangneung Castle had been piled up with stones more than halfway through, and the two sides outside the city left.
Zhang Zhongjian watched the cavalry guard chase the Turkic soldiers away, but he just had a very bad feeling.
"Saved." Xiao Milling.
At this time, the sun is setting, and the sky is soon dark.
"City Lord Xiao, I don't know the other party's result yet, so we can't take it lightly, you must know that we and those Turkic soldiers are now the targets of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State." Zhang Zhongjian said.
"You're right, I'm going to hurry up now, and the people in the city will help them directly pile up the city gate with stones, so that the city will not be broken." Xiao Milling.
Zhang Zhongjian watched Xiao Mo go to work, he really didn't want to attack the other party, the Turkic cavalry was not good at attacking cities, and this time it was Xiao Cavalry Guards who came No matter what the strength of the siege war was, at least they were very familiar with the tactics of siege.
Facing the cavalry guards can be even more dangerous than the Turkic cavalry.
Besides, Yuwen Chengdu pursued the past, in fact, he was restrained all the way, after all, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was noticed a lot.
The cavalry guard really didn't have much activity, and he had to stop and repair all the way.
After a long journey, after a battle, the fatigue of the soldiers will be greatly increased once this strength passes, and Yuwen Chengdu sees the current situation.
The 300,000 Turkic soldiers returned to their garrisons, and with the defense they knew, they knew that if they were engaged in battle, they might cause the other side to fight with them.
Yuwen Chengdu is not stupid, he is all in a good way, his purpose is to drive the Turkic soldiers back to Mobei.
I really can't come if I want to.
Yuwen Chengdu's attack was rapid, and their troops and horses were in a triangle from the Turkic garrison and Jiangling.
No matter which side is dispatched, they can move forward or backward at the first time.
In the Turkic camp, many generals have gathered to study their plans, and now, counting the new reinforcements, it is already the third wave of setbacks.
With the advantage of 300,000 soldiers and horses, but the record is not satisfactory, if they continue like this, their result will be pursued and flee from the Sui State.
Contrary to their purpose, the Turkic generals were not willing to go back like this, so that the leaders of their khans would no longer trust him.
"Sui reinforcements have arrived, do we want to deal with these people?" The Turkic general asked.
This decision depends on the attitude of the generals, and once decided, it means fighting with all their might, and the losses will definitely be indispensable.
Even a great Turkic general, he could not make many tribes fight with just one sentence.
"General, if you want to solve these pursuers, drag them and wait for them to run out of food and grass, they will naturally retreat, and at that time, we will definitely make them pay a huge price if we kill them back."
"Don't forget, they can be supplied through the state capital." At this time, someone came out to remind.
"Now that many state capitals have gotten rid of the rule of the Sui State, we may be able to only attack the state capital of the Sui State, so that our resistance should be smaller."
Someone spoke out again, and his statement was immediately agreed by several generals.
"Maybe we have a better way, it's better to unite those rebels and help them deal with the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, so that we can directly benefit from the rebels."
The Turkic general listened to what everyone said and felt that it was very reasonable.
"Okay, you can send someone to contact you first, if you can solve the Sui Kingdom's Xiao Cavalry Guard, it will be beneficial to both sides."
I have to say that among the Turkic generals, there are still many people who have brains, and they cannot be satisfied with the benefits they can get by snatching them all the way.
The next day, the Turks sent liaison personnel to Gangneung to deliver the letter.
And the Riders didn't move.
Now that the positions of the three parties are kept at a sufficient distance to react, Yuwen Cheng knows that as long as the Turks want to escape, even if they pursue, it is useless, and if they catch up, they will still suffer the loss of soldiers and horses.
100,000 against 300,000, they are really powerless in the face of cavalry.
Xiao Mo was very surprised, he didn't expect that the Turks would ask someone to deliver the letter, and Zhang Zhongjian was also discussing this matter with them at this time.
"General Zhang, the Turkic soldiers have offered to help us eliminate the Xiao Cavalry Guard, but they need cooperation and sufficient benefits."
Then Xiao Mo told the Turkic soldiers about the materials and wealth they needed.
Zhang Zhongjian fell into thought after hearing this, Xiao Cavalry Guard is the Emperor Yang of Sui, if they can really be eliminated, then there will be less resistance for them.
But he felt very bad about trading with the Turks, not to mention that the conditions proposed by the other party were really excessive, and I have to say that this result was very attractive.
"City Lord Xiao, it is clear that we all pay the most." 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 Milling.
"Isn't the temptation of 30,000 cavalry attractive?" Xiao Milling.
For the horse trade, it is still a low-cost supply, and this kind of good thing is very concerned about as a general who leads the troops.
Cavalry is not comparable to infantry, and the combat effectiveness of cavalry can be said to be enough to resist 50,000 infantry as long as they are well trained.
Zhang Zhongjian is really excited, but cooperating with the Turks, their reputation will be affected, even fatal.
"Xiao Chengshou is not easy to make a decision on this matter, do you want to lose your reputation?"
Xiao Mo fell into contemplation again, which affected his reputation, and it would be affected to recruit soldiers and horses and appease the people in the future.
Besides, who wants to be crushed behind their backs every day.
"To say yes or not to agree?" Xiao Mo asked.
Zhang Zhongjian also had no idea, and the immediate benefit was that as long as he formed an alliance, Jiangling would immediately get 30,000 war horses.
And they also have to pay some troops and fame for it.
The cavalry guards brought by Yuwen Chengdu did not start a war against the Turks on the second day after they arrived, and the Turkic soldiers were also very quiet.
The three forces are silently facing each other in this very embarrassing situation.
Is it really a silent confrontation, Yuwen Chengdu had only one request from Emperor Yang of Sui when he received the order, and that was as long as he received the good news.
