Tuli stationed on the slope of the mountain, looking at the army walking under the mountain, a sense of pride arose.
He pointed his whip at the army and smiled left and right, "There are more than 10,000 people and horses, and there is no boundary.
My 100,000 soldiers and horses can be 100 miles wide when they walk horizontally, and 200 miles away when they walk vertically.
Even the Yellow River of the Han people can also be whipped to cut off the flow."
"What Khan said is that there are so many of us, and one person can spit and drown the Yanmen."
Tu Li snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Yanmen Pass.
"Li Jing thinks he can run away, just a wild goose gate, how can he stop my 100,000 troops?"
For Tuli, although Yanmen Pass is dangerous, he has crossed Yanmen Pass more than once and headed south.
When Li Yuan was still staying in Taiyuan, Tuli once waved his troops south with his uncle and brothers, crossed Yanmen Pass, and even entered Taiyuan City directly.
That time Li Yuan set up an empty city plan for them, they thought that Li Yuan had some tricks, but they passed through the city, grabbed something casually and left, only to know afterwards that Li Yuan did not have many soldiers in his hands at that time, which made them regret it, if they were bolder, Taiyuan City would have been theirs at that time, and Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, might have died a long time ago.
This time, he not only had to cross the Yanmen Pass and enter Taiyuan City, but even drank the Yellow River and went to Luoyang City in the Central Plains to have a look.
"Report."
The scout horse galloped in, and the spy rolled the saddle and fell off the horse.
"Report to the Khan, Li Jing led 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Mayi City."
"Li Jing is still in Mayi," Tuli liked it when he heard the news.
"Yes, Khan, Li Jing ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses to retreat into the Great Wall, but he himself led 10,000 soldiers to stay in Mayi."
"Hahaha."
Tuli laughed.
"Li Jing, Li Jing, Ben Khan is really worried that you are running too fast and can't catch up.
Unexpectedly, you actually have a little bit of courage, stay in Mayi, haha, 10,000 soldiers and horses, just with these 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is great to think that it is too good to fight against my 100,000 army in a lonely city, pass the order, speed up, this time, don't let Li Jing run away again. ” We must surround Ma Yi and Li Jing.
Li Jing of Yunzhou lured him to annihilate 5,000 soldiers and horses, which made Tuli regard it as a great shame.
Although the dead and wounded were all Khitans, these people were under his command, and their casualties did not matter, but they made Tuli's face gloomy. 100,000 people went south, and they were supposed to show their faces in front of Tong Yehu, but they suffered such a big loss.
He couldn't wait to eat Li Jing's meat first.
Mayi.
Li Jing stood at the head of the city, looking at the Turkic army arriving in the yellow twilight.
A group of Turkic cavalry arrived, hesitating one by one winding dragons, boundless and unable to see their heads.
The soldiers and horses gathered more and more, and they directly surrounded the city on all sides, and then began to set up camp as if no one was around.
"General, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the Turks are not firmly on the ground and fight them first?"
Li Jing was smiling and calm.
"No, there are many Turkic soldiers, and we have few people, so we can just defend the city at this time, and we don't have to fight with them out of the city."
At the head of the city, Tang Jun could still look at the Turks calmly and then chatted at first, but slowly, the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense.
There are so many Turks that they gather more and more.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but gradually, the city of Mayi was surrounded by Turkic tents, and there were tents everywhere, and there were Turks everywhere, and they seemed to be drowned by the sea of Turkic people.
The soldiers couldn't laugh anymore.
The expression on his face was solemn.
How many are 100,000 soldiers and horses?
At this time, the Tang army at the head of the city finally had an intuitive understanding of this number, standing at the head of the city and looking around, there were camp tents everywhere in the sky, people and horses neighing everywhere, and the triumphant noise of the Turks everywhere.
There are many Turks, which makes the people in the city suspect that this Mayi city is actually very small, and Mayi City seems to be surrounded by stormy waves and may be submerged at any time.
The north wind is blowing.
Li Jing was still standing on the tower with his sword pressed, his cloak rolling, but Li Jing's gaze was unprecedentedly resolute.
What are 100,000 Turks, there are more enemies than this, and there are many bigger scenes, and Li Jing has also seen many of them.
When Yang Guang conquered Liao, he mobilized a million troops, sent one army a day, and it took two months before and after, and the distance between the front army and the rear army was thousands of miles apart.
Later, the beginning of the siege of Yang Guangyu Yanmen, 400,000 horsemen, the entire central and northern part of Hedong, everywhere Turkic people.
Li Jing has also fought with many homeless people and many anti-army, and they prefer to use crowd tactics, which are tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at every turn.
With less than 100,000 Turks in front of him, Li Jingzhen would not be frightened.

"Don't look at the big scene of the Turks now, but then they will have a hard time."
Li Chao smiled and said to the generals next to him.
In the past, the Turks often invaded the south, which can be regarded as a familiar road, but there has never been a time when it will be the same as this time.
The Tang army had long been prepared for this Turkic invasion.
In the past, the Tang army was also on the front line of the Great Wall, but because the Great Wall was not their own control area, the Turks were actually quite close to the battlefield of the Great Wall.
At the foot of the Great Wall, the Tang army was often unable to guard the Great Wall Pass, so they could only let them enter the pass and then guard some important cities, so that the Turks could easily supply grain and grass on the spot to feed the war.
They never bothered about supplies.
But this time it's different.
Previously, the Tang army took advantage of the Turkic internal strife to destroy Yuan Junzhang and Yang Zhengdao, and surrendered Jieli.
But he took away all the people, took away the grain and grass, and burned everything that could not be taken away, and even Li Jing burned the grass.
Tuli is coming over now, but it is not that there is a problem of food and grass right away.
But when they arrived at the foot of this Mayi city, it was already far away from Yinshan, and the grain, grass and livestock they carried were also limited, and the Tang army held the line of the Great Wall and did not let them enter the pass.
The more soldiers and horses there are, the sooner the problem of food and grass will be exposed.
"Fighting, fighting is logistics grain and grass, Li Xiangbing's book has a special chapter, that's all.
I expected that Tuli must not have read Li Xiang's millions of words of military books, otherwise, they would never have been in such a hurry to go south.
Tuli thought he was surrounding us, but he didn't know that he was actually trapped by us. ” On the contrary, Li Jing had no problem with food, grass and ordnance.
Tuoyuan Junzhang's blessing, today's Mayi City is built of bricks and stones, as well as the corner tower of the female wall of the urn city, plus the ballista catapult transported by Li Jing, a four-mile circumference of the Mayi City, it is not so easy to capture, after all, there is a four-zhang high city wall, if you add a seven-foot female wall, it is nearly five zhang high.
It was tall and large, and the walls were strong, and there was plenty of food and grass.
A fortified city of Mayi guarded by 10,000 elite soldiers needs how many Turks to besiege Theoretically, Tuli needed at least 70,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city, and even so, Li Jing could hold out for at least three months.
And if the Turks lack the ability to attack the city and lack the craftsmen and equipment, then even if the 100,000 Turkic soldiers want to capture Mayi, Li Jing thinks that he can hold out for at least three or five months, or even longer.
For a general with rich experience in the dot matrix, he will never be afraid because the enemy is outnumbered.
He will carefully gather intelligence, carefully analyze the strengths and weaknesses of friend and foe, and then make the best strategy to meet the enemy.
The best strategy now is to stick to it, to meet the enemy's shortcomings.
Let the Turks attack, let them gnaw on this steel fortress, see if their teeth are strong, or this city is strong.
Some people raised their own concerns, Tuli is indeed only 100,000 people, to be exact, it should be less than 100,000, after all, his 5,000 Khitan forwards were annihilated by them, and they also left 4,000 crippled Khitans, and it is estimated that Tuli will have to leave his troops to take care of these wounded soldiers.
Therefore, the normal number of soldiers and horses in Tuli should be about 90,000 now.
But Turki is not the Great Khan of the Turks, he is now only a second Khan, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, only a part of the Turkic army.
Tongye Hu still has several times the army.
The city of Mayi, which is guarded by 100,000 people with 10,000 people, is indeed not an advantage, but what if it is 200,000, 300,000, and 400,000 "You should fight a war is a game of numbers, and it is still 200,300,400,000" Li Chao patted the battlements with his hand, and chuckled, "Tongye has so many soldiers and horses, if hundreds of thousands of people are piled up here, it will be a waste."
The normal method of using troops is to divide the way of soldiers, and this is the most effective use.
On our side, Tongye Hu will have a maximum of 100,000 people, even if you add a little to make up 200,000 and so on, the real combat power will only be about 100,000.
We need not be afraid of an increase of 100,000 people. ” Li Jing was not afraid of many Turkic soldiers.
There are 10,000 elites in Mayi City, and with this fortified city, in fact, it doesn't make much difference whether the enemy is 100,000 or 200,000, after all, the offensive force is saturated, and there is no effect if there are more.
Of course, if it is a long-term siege war, there is still an advantage in having more enemy soldiers, and it can consume them in wheel warfare.
However, there are many enemies, and there are also disadvantages, that is, the consumption of grain and grass is greater.
As long as they can't storm the pass and can't replenish grain and grass on the spot, the more Turks come, the bigger the problem of grain and grass will be.
Again, Li Jing believes in Li Chao.
The young prime minister came to serve as the commander of the north, and he would definitely not sit idly by.
Li Jing dragged a lot of Turks, not to mention that Li Chao came to rescue Ma Yi, he would definitely be able to find a breakthrough in other directions.
The whole battlefield was actually a whole, and the more troops the Turks used in Mayi, the more troops they inevitably lost in other directions.
Tuli must still have ten days and a half of dry rations in his camp now, but there must be no more.
Li Jing has already implemented a strict fortified wall clearing for Daibei, and it is impossible for Tuli to find food on the spot, and the army of 100,000 is not 11,000 people, and he can still hunt on the spot or something.
"Okay, from now on, implement the wartime rotation plan, divide the shifts, rest well if you are not on duty, recuperate and be sharp, let's sit and wait for these Turks to attack the city and send them to death" Outside the city of Mayi.
Tuli rode a horse and led his generals around the city of Mayi to observe, and the more he looked, the more solemn his expression became.
He didn't expect that the current Mayi City, which had not been here for a few years, would be so strong.

It was a bit of a surprise.
"Khan, let me lead the sons of my headquarters to take the lead, take Mayi City for the Khan, and cut off Li Jing's head," a Khitan chief said loudly.
He wanted to avenge the 5,000 dead and wounded Khitan Erlang.
Tuli looked at Mayi City and observed for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I look at the city and the guards are tight, it seems that Li Jing has already prepared, we have come all the way, the soldiers and horses are tired, today we will temporarily rest for a day, and tomorrow we will discuss the siege of the city."
Several generals still wanted to ask for battle, Tuli waved his hand impatiently, and the generals had to shut up.
Back in the camp, Tu Li's brows furrowed, and he no longer had the relaxed attitude he had just been in front of everyone.
He already understood at this time that he had kicked an iron plate, this Mayi City, I was afraid that it was not easy to fight like that Li Jing. t1706231537:
