173.Operation Raid (2)
The slaves were held on the edge of this Turkic settlement, next to the livestock. Ironically, what was originally an arrangement for the practice of people turned out to be a help for evacuation at this time.
These slaves have been brainwashed by Wang Jue's MLM for a day, and at this time, only evacuation steps and the saying of 'family and country and the world' are left in their minds. There was no scramble, they waited in an orderly manner for Tang Bing to take the key to unlock the lock. After opening the shackles of a few middle-aged people, Wang Jue simply took the three people with lock-picking skills to act with their own tools, so that the few people who had just been freed took the key to continue to unlock, so faster.
Thanks again to the harsh treatment of the Turks, the Han slaves practiced the skills of not daring to breathe heavily and walking silently. The slaves were familiar with the animals and were familiar with them for many years, so they were able to evacuate as quietly as possible.
Just when the slaves were all shackled, there was a commotion outside the prison, and Wang Jue laughed: "The front has begun to attract the attention of the Turks, let's leave now." We evacuated according to the planned steps, rode on the backs of the livestock to drive them, and the Tang army met us five miles from here. ”
Han soldiers dressed in Turkic soldier clothes took the wind on several roads leading to the prison, and Wang Jue and his slaves quickly ran to the place where the livestock were kept. Since this is the hinterland of the Turks, there has been almost no sneak attack, and the leaders are panicked. They were only busy preparing their troops to fight, after all, it was not a daytime war, so they could not care about using slaves as shields.
In order to distract the Turks, the advance troops were all cavalry, intending to drown out the sound of cattle leaving in the distance with the sound of nearby horses' hooves stomping on the ground. The idea turned out to be very effective, after all, it was night, and the Turks' heads were already stunned by the roar in front of them. The few who could listen carefully to the sound and discern the direction did not think about the slaves and livestock, thinking that the Tang army was besieging the front and rear.
After Wang Jue was on the mat, she glanced in the opposite direction before leaving, where Tang soldiers were shouting in unison: "The Turkic boys are coming to die, and the grandfathers are coming to collect the corpses!"
There were not enough horses, and the slaves rode on the backs of various livestock, driving the livestock to run in the direction guided by the accompanying Tang soldiers, and most of them were still in a trance, and they did not expect to return to the Tang Dynasty in their lifetimes. Some people were already in tears, as if they saw the land beckoning to them......
Wang Jue didn't go far with the slaves when he met Fang Yiai and Wu Zhao waiting there with a team of nimble soldiers. Some of the soldiers joined the escort of the Han people, and some returned to the Turkic camp with Wang Jue and Xi Junmai, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pour black oil on the Turks' tents.
This little trick can only be used once, when the Turks do not know the use of black oil. The Tang soldiers who came after him were mainly responsible for transporting and guarding a few truckloads of black oil, and the real action was the people Xi Junmai had brought with him and the three people of the Baijia faction. At this time, you can see the difference between soldiers and generals, as well as the difference between open and unopened.
Xi Junmai kept in mind the instructions of the leaders, and when he heard Wang Jue say that he was responsible for those more dangerous places, his head shook like a rattle. Who knew that Wang Jue didn't plan to waste time explaining to him, Xi Junmai saw that Wang Jue had a big bucket in one hand, and the two little guys could also raise one with both hands, and swallowed their saliva with wide eyes, it was not a bucket......
Wang Xianbo has already proved that we can't even compare with the two little guys, so don't waste time and hurry up to work. Seeing that Wang Jue had already penetrated into the enemy camp, Xi Junmai consciously began to lead people to take charge of the nearby places.
Half an hour later, several cannon shots were heard in the distance, which was a code. The person who led the sneak attack was the deputy general Gao Yongsheng, who thought that the captive Han people had already left, so he gestured to the soldiers, pretended to be invincible and began to retreat.
"Boss, should we pursue?"
"Chase the damn and kill them all for me, otherwise what face will Ben Khan have to meet the other tribal leaders?!"
"Think twice, there may be fraud!"
"Hugh wants to say it again, hurry up and lead someone to chase it!" The leader was drunk high and suddenly attacked by someone, how could he still stay calm.
Gao Yongsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a large Turkic army chasing after him. In fact, even if they didn't chase them, there were other plans at their disposal, but it was easier to do than lure the enemy into taking the bait.
They ran in the arranged direction, the Gobi, where the Turkic army could be imprisoned in the vast desert. In that place, there were already Tang soldiers waiting for the trap ready.
Gao Yongsheng led his troops to the agreed place, and they did not enter the Gobi group, but ran wildly to the side, and then quietly hid. There was also a group of cavalry in the Gobi group, who had sprinkled black oil on the passages at the entrance earlier, and after Gao Yongsheng left, they began to flee. In this way, the chasing Turkic army thought that the cavalry in the Gobi group was the one they were chasing all the way.
No wonder you have to act at night, it's insidious enough~
One of the Turks shouted: "There seems to be something on the ground, the speed of the horse has slowed down!"
"Don't pay attention to it, keep chasing! Even if the Tang army goes out to fight with good horses, I don't believe they can outrun our Turkic sons!"
"That's right, I'm going to chop up all that mess!"
When the chasing Turks all entered the stone formation, Gao Yongsheng led the team to return quickly. They lit torches and threw them hard into the stone formation. Since he had only heard Wang Jue's description and had not seen the power of black oil, Gao Yongsheng cautiously asked to throw as many torches as quickly as possible. The team that pretended to flee also returned, doing the same thing.
Years later, veterans of the operation recalled that the fire that lit that day lit up the sky. The Turks and their horses neighed in purgatory, and they were burned alive because they could not extinguish the fire on their bodies no matter what.
The two groups of Tang soldiers inside and outside the stone formation just watched in shock, and the roars and curses of the Turks were regarded as a tribute to their deceased brothers.
The people in the Turkic camp did not escape, and because of the darkness of the night, they did not notice the black oil on the tents. I didn't notice that after the cavalry left, there were infantry soldiers quietly approaching. Since the Turks had heightened their vigilance and were sorting out corpses, the infantry did not dare to get too close at first.
The leader here was angry, and he hurriedly called a meeting of his subordinates. As for the ordinary Turks, except for the injured ones who went for treatment, the rest went to rest and prepare to return to the field after dawn.
It wasn't until dawn that the Turks were completely quiet, and only a few elite troops were left patrolling outside.
It was Li Ji who brought the infantry army this time, and compared with the people he brought, those patrols did not have an advantage in numbers. You can't wait any longer, otherwise the Turks will wake up and find something unusual about the Great Tent. At this time, it was the hour when people fell asleep, and Li Ji immediately made a decision to choose to attack.
Since the Turks were already prepared, and the patrols were all elite soldiers, the Tang army could not quietly eliminate the other party. Sure enough, seeing a large number of infantry troops attacking, the Turkic soldiers released a signal as soon as possible.
The Turkic leader did not close his eyes all night, and he was waiting for the return of the people who had pursued the Tang army, and the more time passed, the more the ominous premonition became in his heart. Hearing the warning of the sneak attack, he jumped up and wanted to rush out of the tent as soon as possible. However, the gods did not favor him.
His big tent is the focus of attention, Wang Jue took his disciples to hide nearby for a night, just waiting for Li Ji to take people to do it, and solve him as soon as possible.
Hearing the warning, Fang Yiai, who was rubbing his hands, hurriedly took out a bow and arrow, and Wu Zhao helped him light the arrows. Wang Jue watched the two disciples cooperate properly, and one rocket after another was accurately inserted into the leader's tent. Suddenly a fire ignited, Xi Junmai and his subordinates were a little sluggish when they saw this, and the effect of black oil was beyond their imagination.
The big tent soon collapsed, and listening to the howls inside, Wang Jue and the others quickly left. They need to set the big tent on fire inside, and the soldiers brought by Li Ji are in charge of the periphery.
Time was of the essence, and they could easily be injured if they stopped here. Moreover, the Turks had been warned, and it would not take long for the young warriors to come out of the tents. When they see that the tent is lit, they will inevitably organize the people inside to come out.
Since this is a large station, it is absolutely not enough to sprinkle black oil all over the ground, so there is only a few entrances in this arrangement.
Seeing more and more Turks coming out of the tent, they hurriedly mixed in and left. In fact, after Li Ji killed those patrol soldiers, he began to sprinkle black oil in a circle around the periphery of the station, but Wang Jue had not come out yet, and he did not dare to make the next move.
There were shouts one after another from the Turkic garrison, and more and more Turks came out to meet them, and the Tang soldiers who kept shooting arrows on the periphery also felt struggling. Li Ji was worried about missing the fighter plane and Wang Jue's safety, and he had condemned himself countless times in his heart for why he had agreed to such an unreliable proposal.
Just when he wanted to think about what to do if Wang Jue died, someone came out......
"Didn't you say that you would come out after solving the main account, why did it take so long?!"
Wang Jue whispered: "We have packed up some important roles in it again......"
Xi Junmai bowed his head and didn't dare to speak out throughout the whole process, he had the general's entrustment, but Wang Xianbo's force value was too high, and he really had no choice but to forcibly pull it away.
Li Ji made up his mind to solve the immediate matter first, and as for some people, he would return to the camp and spend a few days spraying slowly.
The main waiting person had already come out, and Li Ji gave an order, and Tang Bing quickly ignited the black oil on the periphery.
In addition to the screams of pain, there was also a roar of resentment. Some Turks are not in the scope of the black oil, and when they see this situation, they know that they will not be able to wait for support in a short time, and their end will only be death. Therefore, he attacked like crazy, intending to bring a few more Tang soldiers on the road.
War is tragic, and no matter how great the superiority is, casualties are inevitable. Wang Jue did not continue to stand beside Li Ji, she once again joined the war with two disciples. Unlike archery just now, Fang Yiai and Wu Zhao saw blood for the first time, they endured vomiting and trembling their hands to participate in the battle with difficulty, but fortunately, they slowly adapted to it with Wang Jue's care.
Due to the small number of Turkic people who remained on the periphery, the war did not last long before it ended. In the end, only two Turks were left before they were exterminated, and Wang Jue and Tang Jun stood beside them, watching the two little guys confront the people in front of them.
It was a Turkic father and son, and the age of the child was younger than Fang Yiai. The father was stabbed in the lung by Wu Zhao, and he was struggling to protect the child to stand. The child was trembling all the time, and he had big beautiful eyes, as if to tell the desire for life.
Wu Zhao took the knife and wanted to step forward, but Fang Yiai grabbed her with some hesitation, turned his head to look at Wang Jue, his eyes were full of struggle. Wu Zhao hesitated slightly, and also looked at Wang Jue.
At this moment of their distraction, the Turkic child suddenly rushed towards Wu Zhao, and the sunlight reflected the dagger in his hand, stabbing people's eyes painfully.
