Chapter 560: Waiting for the Net (2)
At dusk, the sun slowly went down, the sky began to darken, wisps of green smoke rose from the Tang army camp, according to one stove for every hundred people, a total of thirty stoves in the entire camp lit fires, and the smoke penetrated deep into the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, a Tang army scout sentry rushed from outside the camp, and the camp gate was immediately opened by the soldiers in the camp, and the sentry turned out to be Xuan Wu among the whirlwind eighteen horsemen, and this time he was the scout captain of the entire army.
Xuan Wu rushed down and came to Zhao Ziliang with a fist salute and said: "General Qiyu, the enemy army really dispatched a large number of scout sentry to clear and suppress, and the outpost deployed by our army outside the southern city gate suffered heavy losses, and the last general quickly came back to report after receiving the general's order, so it is impossible to know the specific number of troops and types of the enemy!" ”
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, our camp here is only thirty miles away from Sehran City, if you wait for the enemy army to dispatch, it will be too late for you to come back and report the news." As long as we are sure that the enemy has dispatched a large number of scouts to clear out our scouts, we can be sure that they will definitely send troops today, and when their reconnaissance and scout posts detect the location of our army, their army will go straight out of the city and come straight here! Your mission is complete, you go to the hillside behind the camp, Fugu Huaien and Li Sheng are in ambush there, you act with them, go! ”
"No! General be careful! Xuan Wu clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and got on his horse.
On the hillside, Fugu Huaien and Li Sheng sat on a large rock in the grass, chatting in a low voice.
"I was hungry when I saw the smoke rising from the camp at the bottom of the mountain!" Fugu Huaien said with a match.
Li Sheng reached out and took out a cloth bag from his boots, opened the cloth bag and took out a piece of dough cake, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I prepared dry food."
Seeing that Li Sheng was eating well, Fugu Huaien couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked, "Can you share half of me?" ”
Li Sheng glanced at the servant Gu Huaien, broke the dough in half, gave half to the servant Gu Huaien, and asked, "Aren't you steppe people used to eating meat?" Eating this bread too? ”
Fugu Huaien took a sip and said with contempt: "How can you eat meat every day and every meal?" If we follow this way of eating, even if there are more cattle and sheep on the grassland, they will be eaten up, and most of us still eat grain and milk, and only eat meat for a small part of the time! ”
The two were talking while munching on the dough, when Xuan Wu came over with a horse, the two stood up, looked at each other, and then asked in unison, "Why are you here?" ”
Xuan Wu didn't answer, but asked, "What do you say?" ”
Fu Gu Huaien said: "Could it be that the enemy army is really dispatched? ”
"I don't know if the enemy really went out, I only know that they sent a large number of scouts to clear us, and several of our brothers were broken, only I quietly fled back, and I believe that there should be some losses in other places."
Li Sheng's face was solemn and said: "In this way, the general's speculation is correct, this must be a precursor to a large-scale attack by the enemy, I believe they will be killed soon, General Servant Bone, it seems that we have to be vigilant and concentrate!" ”
"That's right!" Fugu Huaien nodded, and shouted: "Come, pass the order, from now on no one is allowed to make noise, tie the horse's mouth to me, let the horses not make a sound, and wait for the enemy army to attack the camp!" ”
"No!"
As soon as the order was delivered, a soldier was heard shouting, "Look, what is that?" ”
Fugu Huaien was about to have a seizure, but he saw a cloud of blue fireworks rising in the sky in the distance, several generals were taken aback, Fugu Huaien and Li Sheng glanced at each other, looked at Xuan Wu at the same time, and asked: "Brother Xuanwu, is this your person warning the camp?" ”
Xuan Wu said with a solemn face: "That's right, because the north of the city is too far from here, it is too slow to come over on horseback to report the news, so I asked them to light fireworks to warn if they find that there are enemy troops, it seems that the enemy army not only sent soldiers and horses from the south city gate, but also sent soldiers and horses from the north city gate, wanting to attack and annihilate us from two directions!" I immediately went to report to the general and asked him to be prepared! Ignoring the reactions of the servants, Huaien and Li Sheng turned over and ran down the hillside towards the camp.
When he arrived at the camp, it only took a few minutes, Xuan Wu saw Zhao Ziliang and reported the situation truthfully, Zhao Ziliang frowned when he heard it, and said: "It seems that Bo Xilin wants to annihilate us in one fell swoop, and send a team of soldiers and horses from the north and south directions at the same time to attack us from the east and west, we are surrounded by mountains in the south and a small river in the north, and there is no place to run under the attack, but they don't know that this river is not deep in this section, and we have deployed a thousand archers across the river, and now we will give you a task, You rode across the river and told Bai Xiaode that if our camp is attacked by the enemy in front of us, his 1,000 archers will not move for the time being, and if the enemy kills the camp from behind, he will immediately lead the archers to dispatch, and there is no need to cross the river, but directly launch the bow tactics on the other side of the river to shoot back and forth, with the width of this small river, the range of our archers' bows can just cover the area from the river to the hill, but the enemy's bows and arrows cannot shoot so far, and there are many horse traps dug behind our camp in advance, There are also a lot of tripwires, and now it is getting dark, and the light is not very good, and if the enemy attacks from behind, they will not necessarily find these traps, and they will not know that they have been fooled until they kill them, and then they will be blocked by horse pits and tripwires in front of them, and there are a large number of arrows on the opposite side, and they will not pose much threat to our camp! ”
Xuan Wu heard this Zhao Ziliang's words, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Understand, the last general will immediately go and tell General Bai!" ”
Because it was a temporary camp, Zhao Ziliang did not let the soldiers build a strong defensive facility, only surrounded a circle of wooden fences around the camp, this kind of wooden fence is easy to build, it does not take much work, just cut some slightly thick branches and insert them on the ground, and then tie them horizontally with horizontal logs, mainly to prevent the enemy cavalry from suddenly coming in, and it has no effect on the infantry at all.
After the sun goes down, the sky is not dark, it is now dusk, the meal has been prepared, except for the patrolling cavalry, everyone else is in accordance with the pre-arranged meal together, not far from them in the tent on the tethered some horses, weapons are also in the tent, if the enemy comes to raid, they can rush into the tent as fast as possible to take the weapon turned over and then come out of the camp, Zhao Ziliang ordered the fire to be lit again, to get rid of the cold in the desert at night, some patrol cavalry rode horses back and forth in the camp.
Ziad with 3,000 cavalry came very slowly, after all, it was a surprise attack, and they couldn't run wild during the march, and the movement was too loud to play the role of a surprise attack, so they all cautiously came to the Tang Army camp three miles away and stopped.
Ziad listened to the report of the detective and detective post, "At this time, the Tang army is eating in the camp, but the patrol is very strict, and the Tang army is strictly disciplined, even the soldiers outside the camp are all sitting together, and no one is moving around at will!" ”
After listening to the scout's report, Ziad looked up at the sky, at this time the sun had completely set, the sky was dark, but it was not completely dark, if there was another half an hour, it would definitely be dark, he said to the generals around him: "Our army has never fought when it is dark, and it is easy to accidentally injure our own people when fighting after dark, so we must attack before it is dark and strive to end the battle before it gets dark!" The order was given, and the whole army immediately rushed to the Tang army camp with me and killed them all! ”
The order was conveyed, all the cavalry of the Great Food Rebels silently drew their scimitars, and some people took out bows and arrows, whether it was the Great Food Army or the Great Food Rebels, not all light cavalry were equipped with riding bows, which was different from the Tang Army, each light cavalry of the Tang Army was equipped with a riding bow in addition to long and short weapons, and the bows used by Asians were basically recurve bows, which were completely different from Europeans, who could use a tough wooden stick to make a bow in a very short time, But the range and strength of this bow is simply scum compared with the recurve bow used by Asians, it takes a long time to make a qualified recurve bow, and there are many processes, so every military bow is precious, and the big cannibal is not a nation that is good at using bows and crossbows, in terms of bow and crossbow technology, whether it is the speed and quality of production, the bow and crossbow technology of the Tang Dynasty at this time can be called the first in the world.
"For the glory of Allah to shine on the whole world, warriors, raise your scimitars and rush to the enemy, long live Allah!"
"Long live Allah" The Great Food Rebels heard Ziade's roar, and immediately one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, the power of faith is so powerful, it can instantly turn a person into a murderous maniac who has no thoughts and will not be afraid, and the three thousand Great Food Rebel cavalry all held scimitars and followed Ziad behind him and rushed to the Tang army camp.
The violent ground tremor was quickly noticed by Zhao Ziliang and others, and at his signal, the two hundred Tang soldiers who remained in the camp began to run around the camp in a planned panic.
Seeing this, Ziyad, who had already rushed to the front of the camp, did not doubt him, brandished his scimitar and shouted: "Long live Allah, kill-" The first to break open the camp gate and rush into the Tang army's camp, followed by the cavalry of the Great Food Rebels.
The Tang soldiers who stayed in the camp moved quickly, they ran into the camp tent, picked up their weapons, turned over their horses, and then rushed out of the camp tent to Zhao Ziliang's side, at this time Zhao Ziliang had already carried the golden nail Zaoyang lance standing in the middle of the camp, and soon more than half of the Tang soldiers gathered around him.
"Soldiers, kill with me!" Zhao Ziliang hit his horse to meet Ziyad who rushed over.
When Ziad saw Zhao Ziliang, he shouted: "Go and die!" Swinging the knife, he slashed at Zhao Ziliang.
The scimitar in Qi Yade's hand is a short weapon, and Zhao Ziliang's golden nail jujube yang lance is a long weapon of one zhang six, Qi Yade's scimitar is still far away from Zhao Ziliang, and the golden nail jujube yang lance in Zhao Ziliang's hand has already stabbed him closely.
Ziad was shocked, it was too late to dodge at this time, so he could only change his move halfway, retracting his scimitar to block the direction from which the horse lance was coming.
With a "ding" sound, Ziad consciously rushed towards him with a huge and incomparable force, and his whole person was knocked upside down and flew out, knocking five or six rebel cavalry behind him in a row, before sitting on a war horse.
Qi Yade was frightened, Zhao Ziliang's blow just now simply made him walk in the ghost gate, he looked at Zhao Ziliang at this time and was already afraid, but at this time he could no longer retreat, he immediately pointed at Zhao Ziliang and shouted: "Kill him, kill him quickly!"
