Chapter 1165: Brothers attack the camp at night
Abu heard that Hassim had sent the seized materials again, and he was not suspicious, after all, the actual seized materials in the previous days were all delivered at night, so what else was there to doubt this time?
When he rushed to the south bank of the Zhangye River with hundreds of retinues to deliver supplies, he found himself in ambush, and countless cavalry on both flanks were moving in a roundabout way, and once someone tried to escape, it immediately attracted a rain of arrows.
Abu was terrified, how could he have been ambushed when he had delivered the seized supplies?
"Brother Hasim, it is I, O Abu...... Let's have some misunderstanding......
Hasim laughed in the dark:
"Brother Abu, this is not a misunderstanding, I am now a servant of the general of the Tang Dynasty, and I can only use Brother Abu as a vote!"
"What is a vote?"
Abu apparently didn't know much about the new noun in Hashem's mouth, after all, it was just a transliteration, and Hashim was obviously reluctant to explain, but only gave him a small suggestion.
"Isn't Brother Abu aware of his situation now, if I were Brother Abu, I would have made the wisest choice!"
Although Abu is a little hindsight, he is definitely not stupid, he has understood the purpose of Hasim, with Hassim's person, he has always been unscrupulous for the sake of profit, and now the reason why he is not ruthless and kills himself is perhaps, perhaps, maybe it is to deliberately recruit himself.
Maybe this is what Hassim called "casting a name"!
Looking at the black shadows surging in the darkness, Abu knew his situation very well, and it was impossible to escape and return to the barracks, and even if he did, what if he returned to the barracks? If Hasim colluded with the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to fight against him with just a few thousand people.
"Brother Hasim, I am willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty generals, leave that favoritism Yusuf, and let Yusuf go to hell!"
In fact, the Persians, who had converted to the Great Food, were discriminated against by Yusuf to varying degrees. Yusuf is indeed a talented young nobleman, but his arrogance is also his biggest flaw, and because of this, not everyone in the coalition is on the same page.
When fighting a favorable battle, all the tribes naturally obeyed, but once they encountered setbacks, the impact of people's hearts fluctuating was beyond imagination.
Hasim came out of the darkness with his retinue, and at the same time the surrounding cavalry also lit torches, which were clearly carefully arranged a long time ago.
"Welcome Brother Abu, from now on we can fight side by side again!"
Hashim hugged Abu like an old friend, and Abu was a little out of breath. Abu said angrily:
"Do you treat your good brother like this?"
Hearing Abu's questioning, Hasim's face was not red, he only let go of his spread hands, and said helplessly:
"The Tang people have a good saying, called each his master, it was naturally difficult to be a brother at that time, and now that Brother Abu has lost his way, he can naturally be a good brother again!"
Since entering the Western Regions, Hasim has some understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and he has said some high-sounding words that he has learned and sold, but he also stunned Abu and felt unfathomable.
After a brief pleasantries, Abu finally brought up the crucial question. That is, how many reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty came, this is also a major matter related to their lives, if the Tang Dynasty is just bluffing, all that is done now is to kill themselves.
In fact, Hasim only knew a little about the scale of the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, but he still said categorically:
"The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty personally led 100,000 Tang soldiers, starting from the capital Chang'an, and now he has arrived in Liangzhou, and he has fought with Yousufu, and the odds of winning should be more than fifty percent!"
The prime minister led the troops to march in person, and the specifications were many times higher than Yusuf, and most of the attention of the Great Food Imperial Court was on the Roman state in the east, and as for the Tang Dynasty in the east, it was just an imperial division sent by the governor of Khorasan.
"Brother Abu, it's all a vain to say so much, and when you meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, you'll know what happened!"
In fact, both Hasim and Abu had more or less learned about the political situation of the Tang Dynasty from the mouths of the Tang soldiers. That is, the king of kings in the Tang Dynasty has been hollowed out, and all the power has been seized by a minister named Qin Jin, and this minister surnamed Qin is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who led the army to fight in person.
Abu then asked Hashim to explain what it meant to be a "petition." After understanding the meaning of "casting a name", Abu made a bolder suggestion.
"Now that Yusuf has left the barracks one step ahead, and the various troops are slowly retreating westward in batches, why don't we raid at night?"
"Really?"
Hasim was taken aback, he never expected that the arrogant Yousuf would not dare to fight head-on with the Tang Dynasty's reinforcement forwards, and the previous aggressive momentum did not know where it had gone.
Abu nodded solemnly, when he went to the camp yesterday, he had not seen Yusuf anymore, although the officials in the camp tried their best to hide Yusuf's whereabouts, he still smelled the unusual smell in it.
The main force of the Great Cannibals has withdrawn westward first, and most of the people who remain are Persians and steppe barbarians, and people's hearts are already very unstable.
Abu actually said in a low voice:
"Yusuf thinks that after the failure of the tactics of luring the enemy to send reinforcements, Zhangye City is no longer suitable for a hasty decisive battle here, but it is better to retreat to the Jiuquan area, relying on the complex terrain to send troops to attack and harass along the way, making it a tired division, and then find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle!"
Hasim snorted, feeling that this method of combat was indeed Yusuf's style, and in the absence of certainty, he would rather give up the fruits of the victory that had been achieved.
He even began to be a little faintly worried, if Yusuf's plan was allowed to succeed, wouldn't Tang Bing's crisis be imminent?
However, that's an afterthought, and now there is indeed a large piece of ready-made fat in front of you, and whether you can eat it in your mouth depends on whether you are bold or not.
"Attack the camp at night!"
Hashim said solemnly.
That night, thousands of cavalry under the command of Hasim, together with the thousands of infantry troops of Abu's army, launched a surprise attack on the Dashi military camp ten miles to the south.
In fact, as Abu said, the Tanma no longer reconnoitred the enemy, and they almost easily touched the front of the camp.
Destroy the wall, set fire, and do it in one go, without encountering any obstacles.
Many of the barracks were empty, and those who remained were tribal soldiers who didn't hurt their grandmother and didn't love their uncle, and they were all abandoning the camp according to Yusuf's military orders, waiting for the time to come.
It wasn't until the flames rose into the sky that the remaining tribal troops realized that the enemy was attacking the camp......
