The horse thieves are full of ambition and morale, especially the team responsible for attacking from the West Gate is the most proud, they are the most elite part of the horse thieves, and the tall man Scarface in the lead is also the first warrior of the horse thieves, and is the right-hand man of the horse thief leader, and the second leader of the horse thief.

This guy is the most ferocious, usually robbed, often make hurtful moves, if it weren't for the horse thief leader to ask all the horse thieves under his command to only want money and not kill people, it is estimated that this goods must be killed, in the eyes of this goods, only their own brothers are people, other tribes, especially the Central Plains, that is, the lamb to be slaughtered, in the Tang Dynasty, where the Central Plains people have a high status, this horse thief actually has such an idea, and it is indeed quite surprising.

Maybe that's national pride! Any nation, even if it is an extremely weak nation, also has self-esteem, and will take itself very seriously, and will even deliberately belittle other nations in their hearts, so as to elevate their own nation to a certain extent, and even fabricate the glorious history of their own nation, and regard many things that do not exist as if they really happened, which is very suspicious of covering up and stealing the bell.

The tall scarface is such a person, they Xiongnu actually have not many people, except for some of them continue to move westward, the rest are basically assimilated by the Central Plains, even, many people have long not remembered that they are the Huns, but there are still a small number of people, they are very stubborn, always remember that they are the Huns, and there is always a delusion to restore the glory of the Huns.

Ximen is the closest to the ravine where the horse thieves are ambushed, the tall scar-faced man is full of confidence and gallops, shouting loudly from time to time, urging the horse thieves under his command to move faster, and even scolding, these horse thieves have no culture, and the usual language is also relatively rude, scolding people is commonplace, especially the leader scolding the people below, it is very commonplace.

The environment at night is relatively quiet, especially in the middle of the night, the environment is even quieter, a large group of horse thieves gallop in, the shouting of people and the neighing of horses are very obvious, and they can be heard from hundreds of steps.

Li An and the soldiers who were sitting on the tower of the West Gate naturally heard these sounds, and from these sounds, they could judge the distance and approximate number of horse thieves.

"It's less than two miles, and there are about two hundred horsemen."

With many years of combat experience, Li An has been able to judge the number and distance of the enemy's cavalry based on the sound of horses' hooves, which is a trained ability, and people who do not often live in border passes will not have this ability.

"Everyone is ready, they are all stable, don't leak any flaws."

Li An continued to arrange.

At this moment, the most nervous are the soldiers standing up and down the city gate and in the tents, they have to face the surprise attack of the horse thieves directly, there is a great risk, if they fail to block the vital parts, there is a risk of losing their lives.

The horse thieves thought that they had fully understood the situation in the old white city, so they were not worried at all, and they were more arrogant than the other, and they rushed over without warning.

The tall Scarface rushed to the front, he was brave enough, so he was not afraid of encountering the resistance of the officers and soldiers at all, he was completely able to defeat many ordinary officers and soldiers alone, besides, he felt that he knew enough about the situation in the old Baicheng, since the officers and soldiers were asleep, then what else did he have to be afraid of.

When he was about to storm the west gate, the tall scarface looked very flustered when he saw the officers and soldiers at the city gate, which made him relax his vigilance even more.

"Brothers, kill these officers and soldiers, kill them."

The tall Scarface shouted excitedly.

The horse thieves behind him bent their bows and arrows, aimed at the few officers and soldiers and began to release arrows, and some horse thieves aimed the front sight at the tent, after a rain of arrows, the officers and soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall were hung on the broken female wall, with many arrows stuck in their backs, and several officers and soldiers in white shirts just ran out of the tent, and several arrows were inserted in their chests, and they fell to the ground on their backs almost as soon as they ran out of the tent.

In an instant, he killed the six officers and soldiers guarding the West Gate, and he did not want to injure the brothers, which made the tall Scarface very excited, the officers and soldiers were nothing more than that, there was nothing to fear.

"Happy, killed! Hahaha! ”

The tall Scarface shouted excitedly, and then, looking at a small Scarface behind him, he said, "You take a dozen brothers to stay here, and if any officers and soldiers escape, kill them directly." ”

After speaking, he looked at the rest of the people and shouted: "Brothers, rush in and kill all the officers and soldiers, rush!" ”

The tall Scarface took the lead, leading nearly two hundred horse thieves under his command, and entered the old white city in a mighty way, and just entered the city, he saw a large number of lanterns hanging in the distance, so he went straight to the lanterns, and on the way, what awaited them was traps and fires, and they were destined to go and have no return.

Seeing that the main force of the horse thieves had been fooled, Li An and the soldiers under his command were all greatly relieved, if these horse thieves stopped to repair for a while, first occupied the top of the city gate tower, and then attacked the city, it would be a big trouble, Li An and the soldiers hidden under his command were discovered, and the consequences can be imagined.

"These horse thieves are really simple-minded, they can be fooled so easily, and now they are going to be finished."

One soldier said excitedly.

"The horse thief is not stupid, it is Li Shilang's plan that is too clever, we pretend to be so similar, how can the horse thief see through it."

Another soldier spoke.

Li An smiled slightly, and said: "Soldiers, now, there are only a dozen horse thieves left outside the door, and our number is more than that of horse thieves. ”

In order to prevent the horse thieves from running away, the best way is to attack at the same time, killing all the dozen horse thieves in an instant, so that none of these horse thieves left behind can escape, and there is not even a chance to sound the alarm.

The destruction was imminent, but Scarface didn't expect all this at all, the noise in the city was too loud, and their dozen people and horses were also making noise constantly, so that Li An whispered in the city, they couldn't hear it, so they couldn't know that there were dozens of officers and soldiers hiding here.

"A few of you go over and cut off the heads of the officers and soldiers on the edge of the tent."

Little Scarface was idle and bored, and began to order his subordinates to cut off their heads, he was making wishful thinking, and when he went back to see the leader, he would tell the leader that the heads of these officers and soldiers were cut off by him, so that he would be more valued and able to obtain greater benefits, at the same time, this is also a kind of venting, his character is the same as the tall Scarface, and he is also a fierce guy, when he robbed businessmen before, he has never had the opportunity to kill, and he has long been suffocated, and now he finally has a chance to vent, How could you miss such a great opportunity?

When the two horse thieves heard this, they jumped off their horses and walked to the tent not far away, carrying their broadswords, to cut off the heads of the officers and soldiers, and this did not seem to be a difficult task, as if it could be easily accomplished.

However, when the two horse thieves walked to the entrance and exit of the tent and were about to cut off the heads of the officers and soldiers, they suddenly found that the eyes of the officers and soldiers suddenly opened, which surprised the two horse thieves, and before they could exclaim, they were killed by the short swords drawn from the waists of the officers and soldiers.

"Hey, what are you two doing standing there, it would take so long to cut off your head."

Scarface yelled angrily.

However, the two horse thieves just stood upright and didn't answer a word, which made Scarface startled, and some cold sweat broke out on his back, and the rest of the horse thieves were also frightened, and always felt that this was very strange.

"You three, go over and have a look."

Scarface instinctively pulled out the long knife on his waist and said orderedly.

Three horse thieves rode over, each drawing their long knives, ready to deal with danger.

The dozen or so horse thieves all paid attention to the direction of the tent, but ignored the real danger above the city gate, and Li An and his soldiers had already bent their bows and arrows to make the final preparations.

"Soldiers, what are you waiting for, right now."

Li An took the lead in standing up suddenly, and then, all the soldiers stood up, and everyone aimed at the horse thieves not far away, and according to the previous distribution, everyone aimed at their own horse thieves, so that they could catch all the horse thieves in an instant.

"There are officers and soldiers in ambush."

Little Scarface saw Li An and the others, and his soul was about to be frightened, but it was already too late, as soon as he made the sound of the alarm, more than a dozen arrows had already flown over, putting down all these horse thieves, and Little Scarface's neck was pierced by an arrow, and he died after falling to the ground.

A dozen of the horse thieves were not killed, but they were all wounded, and the soldiers fired a few more arrows, and then, the soldiers below, who had pretended to be dead, got up, and they were responsible for going up to check the corpses of the horse thieves, and by the way collected the horses, which were all trophies.

The battle at the west gate was very smooth, and the situation at the south gate and the north gate was also very good, all of them successfully deceived the horse thieves, allowing the horse thieves to enter the city unsuspected.

The horse thieves who entered the city through the west gate were the fastest, and they were the first to reach the place where there were lanterns, and there were more than a dozen tents under the lanterns in front of them, and they were all large tents, but, strangely, there was not a single soldier outside the tents, and it seemed a little empty.

But the tall Scarface didn't care about this, and he urged his soldiers and horses to rush over and kill all the officers and soldiers in the tent.

"Kill ......"

The horse thieves rushed forward with great speed and smashed the tent with their big knives.

"There is no one, the tent is empty, there is not a single officer or soldier."

"There are no officers and soldiers here, there is nothing in them, and there are no clothes or bedding."

"Here, too, it's an empty tent."

"This place is also empty, will these officers and soldiers run away in advance?"

The horse thieves said in horror.

The tall Scarface suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and he felt as if he had fallen into the trap of the officers and soldiers, and this feeling was so strong that he shuddered.

Soon, he found that there were a lot of weeds under his feet, and he could faintly smell the smell of oil, and oil and hay were flammable, and if the officers and soldiers hid around to prevent fire, they would be unlucky.

"Driving ......"

Just when Scarface was terrified, the horse thieves who broke through the south and north gates also arrived smoothly, however, they seemed a little unhappy, Ximen was recently, they came a little late, and the biggest credit was taken by the tall Scarface.

"Retreat, retreat immediately, return the way you came."

The tall Scarface roared loudly, and took the lead in stepping back, preparing to exit the ruins of the old White City from the West Gate.

The horse thieves under his command were also frightened by this sudden battle, and fled with them, which made the other two horse thieves who had just arrived confused and did not understand what was going on.

However, they soon understood what was happening, because a large number of arrows with flames flew overhead, and the fire attack of the Tang officers and soldiers had begun.

As these arrows landed, the fire burned rapidly, and the tall Scarface who fled earlier was better, at least half of the centaurs were not burned by the fire, and the remaining two teams of centaurs were all caught in the fire, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Looking back at the raging fire, the tall scarred face had palpitations, fortunately he fled earlier, otherwise he would have been roasted, but since this is a trap, then the city will definitely not be safe, and it is best to escape as soon as possible.

However, the tall Scarface would not have thought that the road he had just walked had been temporarily set up by the officers and soldiers, and when he returned, the tripping rope was activated by the officers and soldiers, and suddenly, a large group of horse thieves, including the tall Scarface, were thrown into the mud, and the arrows that were quickly shot around killed some of the horse thieves on the spot.

Not too long a distance, six tripwire ropes were set up, and all the fleeing horse thieves were stopped, and none of the horse thieves could rush out.

The tall scarface touched his knee, and the pain was grinning, but fortunately, there were not many officers and soldiers nearby, and the arrows shot were sparse, and only a few horse thieves were killed, most of them were fine, and the horse thieves who were not injured immediately fought back with bows and crossbows.

"The road is blocked, and I can't walk anymore, so the brothers follow me on the path."

The tall Scarface led the horse to the side of the path, and when he got on the path, he found that there were no officers and soldiers, so he got on his horse and walked cautiously.

However, there is also an ambush on the path, and the trap is on the path, which is well camouflaged.

"Ah......h

Not long after leaving, the first dozen or so horse thieves fell into the horse pit one after another, and were immediately strung into sugar gourds by the sharp branches in the pit, and both people and horses died.

The tall Scarface reined in time and barely escaped a catastrophe, and just a little bit, his life was confessed.

There are ambushes and traps on the main and small roads, which makes the horse thieves all frightened and don't know what to do.
