Chapter 943: Night Attack (Part II)
Late at night, the camp of the Don army was surrounded by darkness, and occasionally a few torches floated by, and it was night soldiers patrolling.
Hundreds of meters away, a team of 10,000 people stared excitedly at the dark Tang army camp.
"There are flaws everywhere! The deployment of the Tang Army actually had such a lax time? God help me! The man at the head of the group chuckled in a low voice, then turned his head and gave the order. Act according to the plan! Remember, be careful of the stumbling blocks of the Tang army, scatter them a little, and try not to step on them when the people in front of you fall. The vigilance of the Tang army is very high, we don't have time to untie their tripwires, and their tripwires are generally tied with bells, and the slightest touch will sound an alarm, so we must rush into the camp of the Tang army in one go, is it clear? ”
The leader hastily laid out before the battle, and then, without any nonsense, more than ten thousand people, acting according to the expected plan, divided into three directions, surrounded and attacked the camp of the Don army.
And the only direction in which the Tang army was not surrounded was the barren rock on which they were backed! It seems that the Tang army has nowhere to escape!
The attack was swift, and after the three teams were in position and signaled, 10,000 men mounted their horses and charged fiercely.
A distance of a few hundred meters is nothing more than the blink of an eye for a cavalryman.
What about tripping horses? At such a distance, even if the tripping horse you arranged can be put into some of our soldiers, and the remaining army of nearly 10,000 can rush up, how can you resist in your sleep? Can everyone sleepwalk? This gang of bandits...... No, it should be said that the singer disguised as a bandit showed a cruel smile.
At the moment when they launched their attack, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves had already alarmed the Tang army, and many Tang soldiers ran out of the camp tent without even putting on their clothes, without even holding weapons in their hands.
"Hahaha! Fools! It's too late! The general of the Gaochang army shouted excitedly, and when he saw that victory was in front of him, he shouted backwards: "Brothers, rush up and chop up these Tang soldiers!" The more you kill, the more you get! ”
The soldiers behind screamed around the corners, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between them and the Tang army was only a hundred meters. At this time, the Tang army had just reacted to an enemy attack and was hurriedly organizing a defense.
But... The distance is too tight! I'm afraid that at such a distance, the Tang army will not be able to organize an effective defense at all, and it will be scattered by Gaochang's cavalry! Once the Tang army is unable to organize an effective counterattack, then they will become the target of Gaochang's extermination!
The Gaochang soldiers had even anticipated the scene of victory and began to cheer in advance.......
"Boom!" Suddenly a huge explosion came from the front, and the horses were frightened and confused, and the momentum slowed down. The soldiers were also stunned by the loud explosion and did not know how to respond.
However, Gaochang's generals reacted quickly, knowing that this was the Tang army's "thunderbolt fire" counterattack, and hurriedly shouted, asking the herald to give an order: "Don't panic, everyone!" The thunderbolt of the Tang army is most afraid of being used at close range, it will blow up your own people, let's not be afraid, rush forward! The thunderbolt of the Don army will have no way to go! ”
The soldiers were encouraged and rushed forward one after another...... "Boom, boom! "Thunderbolts exploded one after another. The generals also felt a little confused.
Seems to be a bit far away from this explosion, right? There are still a hundred meters away from the Tang army's camp, how did they throw the thunderbolt fire? And the explosions of the thunderbolts seemed to be very dense, and most importantly, they all seemed to explode in the path of their own soldiers!
"Boom!" A thunderbolt exploded in front of him, and the seven or eight soldiers who ran in front of him were instantly torn to pieces by the exploding thunderbolt and died tragically in front of him.
Wrong! That's not right! There are quirks! Years of experience on the battlefield constantly prompted him that something seemed wrong! "Appeal !!" The general hurriedly stopped his horse, carefully observed the surrounding battlefield, and found that most of his soldiers had been damaged by the thunderbolt fire, and the rest of the people did not dare to step forward behind the smoke after the explosion.
What's the situation? Where did these thunderbolts come from? Could it be that the Tang Army had already laid an ambush? They weren't unprepared at all, but deliberately showed their flaws waiting to be fooled?
"You guys, walk through the smoke!" The general gave the order with a blank face. The faces of the few people who were pointed out turned pale suddenly, but they still nodded, and rushed over with a hard head.
It wasn't long before explosions and screams came from the other side of the smoke, and it looked like the men had been tricked. It's just that judging by the sounds, it seems that they are running a little farther.
"You guys, keep going!" The general coldly swept over a few people. These people's faces are like ashes, you look at me, I look at you, dead or alive and refuse to move forward.
"Battlefield disobedience! Violators, behead! The general's cold voice came from the Nine Hells, making several people shudder. The general softened his tone and said: "Those who rush up, regardless of life or death, will be remembered for great merit, rewarded with ten pieces of money, and three pieces of cloth." Those who retreat, kill them on the spot, and you will choose for yourselves. As he spoke, the general even drew the short knife at his waist, reflecting the icy cold light in the moonlight.
These people looked left and right, and Xindao had no chance to escape, so he couldn't help but be ruthless, and said: "The left and right are all dead, it's better to fight!" Several people gritted their teeth and rode their horses into the thick fog, and after some time there was a "boom" explosion in front. It took longer than the previous ones.
The general seemed to understand something, gathered the nearby soldiers together, and sent people in waves to form a death squad to explore the way ahead.
After paying the price of four waves of people, there was finally no thunderbolt explosion ahead.
The general waited a little longer, sent a few more people, and after making sure that there was no movement in front, he immediately asked the herald to pass on this method to the troops who hesitated to advance in other directions.
Well, I don't believe it, but not long after the herald ran forward, he ignited a mine and died a tragic death.
The general's face twitched, he turned around, and shouted an order to the heralds: "Go back the way you came, find people in other directions, and let them move forward according to this method!" ”
The herald ....... "Yes!" ”
After sacrificing a lot of "pathfinder and dead soldiers", Gaochang's army finally broke through the minefield and came to the periphery of Datang's camp, but what was waiting for them at this moment was the ironclad defense of Datang's copper wall!
Their eyes and expressions were not like despair, but like the excitement of looking at a desperate prey!
