Chapter 650: Battle of the Sanggan River (60)
While resisting the flying arrows, Bayo Ya carefully looked at the density and coverage of this kind of pit trap nearby, it seems that the closer you get to the Tang army camp, the more such traps there are, so it seems that such a large amount of work is definitely not able to be dug in a moment and a half, at least in a day.
Although he has always suspected that there are Tang Army spies in the Xi Qi coalition army, but when this is confirmed, he is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, they have always been extremely united, and they look down on those Han people who can betray their parents and brothers for small profits, and have always been proud of their unity, but now that there are really internal ghosts, he still has to sigh at the omnipotence of money.
Wait a minute...... Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, even if there were ghosts in their Xi Qi coalition army, but the night attack on the Tang army camp was only determined today, although Li Huaixiu had similar thoughts before this, but Wang Zhongsi was still alive at that time, and the Tang army was also quite united, although Li Huaixiu was a little weak in the first two battles, but the strength of the Tang army is beyond doubt, if it were not for the cavalry of their Xi Qi alliance army itself would not be much stronger than the Tang army, I am afraid that the outcome of the first two battles of this battle has been determined.
The giant trees used to cross the river were not originally used to build temporary bridges, but were used as raw materials for assembling building cars, and it was because the fighting situation here was stalemate and the water surface of the upper reaches of the Sangan River was not very wide, so these giant trees were mobilized from the pine desert and carved them. Even he had to be convinced by Li Huaixiu, if it weren't for Li Huaixiu, who would have thought of using those giant trees to cross the river, if their 200,000 powerful cavalry didn't have these giant trees, they couldn't cross the river, and they wouldn't have any advantage in the face of the Tang army.
But now, even if they crossed the Sanggan River, even if they were indeed stronger than the Tang army, and even the heavily armored Tang army was not his elite opponent, but now they had to face countless traps that had been waiting for them for a long time. What does this mean? It shows that the Tang army knew that they would carry out a night attack from the very beginning of the fight, but it was not until today that Li Huaixiu told them about this plan, and it was impossible for others to know about it, even the most trusted by Li Huaixiu, Shi Mo Chigou, knew it at the same time as them, because Li Huaixiu was such a cautious person, otherwise he would not have become a generation of heroes.
He can probably have two guesses now, one is that after getting the information sent back by the spies, there are many members of the Tang Army who are good at setting traps, and this kind of person has more or less experience as a hunter, and such people can set traps very quickly. But no matter how fast it is, he looked at the number and density of the surrounding potholes, this is too much, even if there are hundreds of hunters, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrange it in a short time, after all, this plan was only revealed to them and these leading generals when Li Huaixiu was close to dinner in the afternoon, so it is naturally impossible for the spies planted by the Tang army to know in advance, not to mention that they have to spend time to send the information out. This second, naturally, the Tang army had already predicted their night attack, and even knew that they would send cavalry to cross the river for night attack, all the development was in the control of the Tang army, except for the death of Wang Zhonghe, but now the Tang army did not appear in the split in the intelligence, but organized resistance to their night attack, which can only have one explanation, that is, there are still border troops in the Tang army who can make the four towns obey his orders, and the general's strategy is very likely to be extraordinary.
How did he know that Wang Zhongsi had not died at all from the beginning, but because of the sad atmosphere created by the Tang army camp in the past few days, he also dispelled his worries when he was suspicious at first, thinking that Wang Zhongsi had already died in the hands of the Tang disciples. As for being able to predict their actions, it was naturally because of Ye Tingcheng, their entire Xi Qi coalition army was following Ye Tingcheng's plan, and they didn't even make a mistake, except that they planned to use cavalry to cross the river.
At that time, Wang Zhongsi and they were still discussing whether to even set traps on the main road, although it was a little difficult to dismantle, but wait until the victory of this battle and then slowly get it, after all, this can cause great damage to the Xi Qi coalition army, plus the infantry is not very fast, these potholes will definitely be able to block them for a lot of time and cause great damage. Who admitted that Bai Quan sent the news that the Xi Qi coalition army planned to rely on giant trees to let the cavalry cross the river directly, which shocked the generals of the Tang Army, they did not expect that Beiyi, who was extremely stupid in their opinion, could come up with such an idea, so that most of the strategies they had formulated before would be overturned and reconsidered, after all, these Beiyi cavalry were really sharp, even if Li Luan, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, who had not dealt with them, knew how powerful they were, once they really let them cross the river, then the Tang army would be a little dangerous, and when the time came, don't steal chickens and riceใ
The discussion followed was whether to let the cavalry go through half and then break them one by one, or directly destroy those giant trees, prevent their cavalry from crossing the river, and be forced to fight with them in foot combat, although most of the Tang army generals supported the latter, but Wang Zhongsi preferred the former, after all, the former was formulated by Ye Chengcheng, and he also agreed with Ye Chengcheng's view of total annihilation. If it is the latter, not to mention whether the combat effectiveness of the Tang infantry will be reduced after crossing the river, but the Xi Qi coalition army on the opposite side can also set up defenses and wait for them to throw themselves into the net, just like they are now. Since the commander has decided so, then there is no point in other generals even if they discuss it again, so after receiving a cup of tea from Huan Chenyu to provide information, the craftsmen within the Tang Army and the Tang Army who are good at this aspect suddenly became busy, and the density of the traps originally arranged continued to increase, after all, the speed of the Beiyi cavalry is too fast, if the density is too small, they can avoid these traps casually, then they can attack the Tang army camp from other directions, which is not what everyone wants to see, and the main road is sprinkled with thistles, and one after another anti-horse fences are arranged, no matter how strong the cavalry of the Xiqi coalition army is, they encounter this combination of traps, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties, even if you can storm the Tang army camp, it is not to be afraid.
It's just that they didn't expect that Baye Mi would directly let the remnants of the Xi clan open the way by sacrificing their lives, and the barbarism of these Beiyi was obviously beyond the imagination of these Tang troops.
