291 I'm Sorry 2
In fact, this is not important to Li Siye. If it is Li You’s person, then he is really happy. After all, in Beiting, only Li You’s three hundred soldiers are truly worthy of trust and can serve. The number is indeed too small.
After receiving his thoughts, Li Siye asked Li Fei Shouyu: "General Li Fei, I asked you to have a good bow and arrow skills. What are the essentials of a crossbow that those people have?"
Li Fei Shouyu saw this compound bow just now. Don’t look at his archery skills. He doesn’t know why he uses it. He shook his head and said, “I can’t see it. I’m afraid it can only be on the battlefield. I can see one or two here. However, I think those people are not very old. The bow looks like a crossbow. They may not be able to draw. The strong bows used by our cavalry are only eight fights. A bow can be a stone. General Li should know that the arm strength of the archers is not small."
What he said is really right. Archers train not only accuracy, but also their arm strength. This crossbow is over a hundred catties. People with insufficient arm strength can’t shoot three arrows in a row, so bow and arrow. The hands are generally more burly people. As for the young people they saw, it would be a bit reluctant to say that they could open a crossbow. In their opinion, these people were afraid it would be difficult to shoot a third arrow after two arrows.
However, it doesn’t matter. The Tang army they bring is a regular army with two thousand men. If they really want to fight against the opponent, they have the confidence to win. In addition to this group of mercenaries, there is no problem at all. It doesn't matter how powerful this group of people is.
At night, this army of more than 3,000 people is still moving forward. This is a desert edge. Although it is not big, it is better to go out and stop. After another hour and a half, they entered a forest of Populus euphratica. , I just started to eat and rested. Fortunately, there is a moon above my head today, and I can still travel by moonlight.
Most of them stopped to rest, but the scout team was divided into eight teams, and they moved in different directions. They didn't return to the camp until they were twenty miles out. After they came back, another group of forty scouts set off again, and again after walking out twenty miles. When the third group of scouts set off, it was not far from dawn, and this was the first night.
Tatuo Tucheng is north of Wanghe Town. Strictly speaking, it should be in the northeast of the east. The distance is not too far, only less than four hundred miles. But Keta Lake is only more than ten miles away from Satuo Tucheng. In other words, no matter where you attack, you must be prepared to wipe out the two Shatuo tribes.

Tatuo Tucheng was built under a low mountain. The city is not big because the entire city is built with mud, so it is called Tucheng, and its walls are not high. This was built by the Shatuo people on top of the original ruins after they migrated, and this ruin is the former city of Satuo, which was built in the country of Cheshi and was abandoned due to the war.
Keta Lake is not too big, four miles from east to west, and eight miles from north to south. This tribe of Shatuo surrounds the lake. Once spring comes, they will graze everywhere, so if you want to attack them, you have to act before the beginning of spring. , So that it can be done in one pot.
The army marched for three days and left camp in a bush forty miles south of Lake Keta. Tomorrow, they will launch a cruel war.
In the evening, several people discussed how to do it. Li Fei Shouyu meant that the Tang army attacked, the mercenaries defended, and finally they joined forces to attack Tuotu City.
"General Li Fei, if we want to take this place in one day, it is feasible to do so, but our people have to participate in it. First, it will be faster, and second, we can also practice mine. Mercenary, I don't know what the general thinks?"
Li Fei Shouyu said, "There can be a thousand people in this Tuotu city, and hundreds of people can be gathered outside the city. After you make sure to divide the army, you can hold on to your boss? Your people are only more than 1,000, and the other party still has more than one thousand people. Mostly cavalry."
"General Lifei, you don't have to worry about it. I can assign five hundred cavalry to help you quickly wipe out the Shatuo tribe here in Keta Lake. The remaining 700 infantry will deal with reinforcements. There is no problem. If you lose, this battle I am willing to take responsibility."
Li Fei Shouyu saw that Heizi had said everything, and did not say much. After all, everyone wants to win this battle quickly. Cooperating is the right way. Since the mercenaries have this confidence, then Let them go. Li Fei Shouyu knows one thing. If he moves quickly, he can still transfer troops to help after the attack. Even if the mercenaries are defeated, the casualties will be more serious at most, and they will not affect the entire battle.
Li Siye said to Heizi at this moment: "Let's do it, I'll take fifty rides, how about helping the big leader?"
"General Li, you don't worry about me waiting! Well, if the general is interested, then let me stop the reinforcements, so that the general can rest assured."
Li Fei Shouyu finally said, "Well, that's it. We will start when the scout has checked the terrain tomorrow morning."
The next day, just after dawn, a team of scouts drew the detected terrain on the mountain. Everyone only discussed the attack location and the defense location, and then started to take action. Heizi dragged more than ten cars on this side. Go to the interception place. When Li Fei Shouyu waited for Heizi and the others to leave, they began to change their clothes, leaving two hundred people guarding the camp here, and the others began to attack. However, their speed was not fast, and after half an hour of slowing, Li Fei Shouyu ordered a fast forward and headed towards Keta Lake.
Since Li Fei Shouyu’s cavalry number reached 1,500, and he made a surprise attack, basically without much hindrance. After attacking and killing a settlement, he divided the people into two teams. From two directions around the Keta Lake began to clean up.
Many people from the Shatuo tribe didn’t know what happened. They came out to check and saw a large group of black and masked bandits attacking and killing their tribe, but they didn’t have much to do. Resistance seemed unrealistic. They didn’t. Not everyone is gathered together, they can only escape.
On Heizi's side, he had already taken people to wait behind a low mound. As soon as they arrived, they saw more than a dozen people riding past. This was a report back to Tuo Tucheng. After seeing these people, Li Siye quickly ordered the cavalry to chase them, but he was stopped by Heizi.
"General Li, no, just let them report the letter. Once they come out, we can stop here. As long as we can shoot them in large numbers, won't it be easier when we turn back to attack Laitutu City."
Li Siye didn’t know, but he really doubted the strength of Heizi and others. The Shatuo would come here but the cavalry, and here, besides the fifty guard cavalry he brought, there were more than ten cavalry left. The detective's scouts, the remaining 700 men were all infantry, and if they really wanted to fight, the casualties were not ordinary.
He knew that Li You had the intention to raise this group of people, but if this group of people were gone, it would be really difficult to attack Yecheng next month. It was with these thoughts that Li Siye called someone and planned to attack and kill the person who reported the letter. (End of this chapter)
