Chapter 274: Attack

The Xia people belong to a social system that is half farming, half hunting, and has some nomadic characteristics.

There was no fixed location of the king's tent.

Often, just there, the people will follow.

In the place where the tent was set up was the place where the king's tent was.

And around the tent of the king of the Xi tribe, there are also three huge camps.

These camps are not far from the king's tent, and they are in the shape of horns.

It's like when the Central Plains Dynasty built a large city, it was necessary to build several acropolis nearby.

In the event of a major attack by the enemy, the three camps will echo each other with the king's tent, which can assist in the defense of the king's tent and contain the enemy.

It was also when Li Chongyi looked at the map.

Ba Tianlei opened the curtain and walked closer.

Seeing Li Chongyi by the fire, he hurriedly came over and shivered over to roast the fire.

These two people came out of the camp in the western suburbs, and they are considered to be comrades-in-arms who have known each other for the longest time.

Seeing that Li Chongyi was looking at the map, he also leaned over to take a look.

"How many defenders did you say there were in the royal tent of the Clan?"

Li Chongyi asked without raising his head.

Ba Tianlei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It won't exceed eight thousand." ”

"Only eight thousand?"

Li Chongyi's eyes narrowed, a little incredulous.

"That's a lot of talking."

Ba Tianlei said: "This time, the Northeast has fought with my Tang Dynasty three times, but nearly 150,000 soldiers have been gathered. ”

"Not only did they draw strong men from their tribes from all over the country, but they also sent out their own direct armies."

"Obviously, the Northeast wants to fight with our Datang three times, so that Datang knows that they are a difficult bone to gnaw, and they will not dare to use troops against them easily in the future."

"It's just that who would have thought that our Highness would be able to entangle with them on the front line and send people to raid their royal tent in the rear at the same time."

"Sometimes, I really have to admire the mind of our Royal Highness."

"Although he is not as old as you and me, this talent for commanding troops and fighting is really unmatched."

Hearing this, Li Chongyi also nodded approvingly, and smiled on his back.

"Now, Your Highness has created a great situation, and it is only up to our army how to fight this battle."

Ba Tianlei looked up at Li Chongyi: "When you arrive at the royal tent of the Xia clan, how are you going to fight?" Do you want to solve the three camps on the periphery first? ”

"Since there are not many enemy soldiers, there is no need to do more, and you can directly lead the brothers into the king's tent."

Li Chongyi sneered: "I want to see how much courage this King Xue has to dare to go against my Tang Dynasty." ”

"It's just a good time to see if it's his hard neck, or my ring-headed knife."

In this regard, Ba Tianlei has no opinion.

has been with him for so long, Ba Tianlei knows what this product is good at.

Li Chongyi's best thing is hand-to-hand combat.

And in this respect there is hardly anyone who can compare to him.

For example, he commanded the first few battles at the beginning of this campaign, and even almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle.

It's a pity that there were too many enemy cavalry, so his efforts were in vain, and he could only retreat with the army.

Otherwise, if he wins this battle, he probably won't have to bother like now.

There are a lot of things to eat in the camp, most of which are dried meat and frozen goods.

The Liangzhou pawn was not accustomed to the food of the Yan people, so he had to eat the food he carried with him.

Fortunately, there is fire and water in the village, so that it will not gnaw on the dry food that is frozen hard.

The people also have tea, but it is goat's milk tea, which tastes delicious, but it is not so difficult to swallow.

Drinking tea while eating dry food, plus dried meat made by the people, not to mention whether it is delicious or not, at least it is not a problem to fill your stomach.

Night.

Some of the Liangzhou soldiers gathered in the tent of the Yanren, and some sat outside in groups of three or five to chat and laugh.

Looking at them, there seems to be no trace of tension before the war.

And this is the Liangzhou pawn, a legion born to fight.

……

Following.

Liangzhou pawn set off, and when he left the house, Liangzhou pawn habitually planned to set fire to the village.

However, he was stopped by Li Chongyi.

According to Ba Tianlei, this place is not far from the royal tent of the Xia tribe.

If it is set on fire, I am afraid that it will arouse the alarm of the brutes.

Besides, it is not that you have no return, and when you come back, you may need this place to stay.

The journey was still arduous, but with the supplies from the camp, the Liangzhou soldiers were much more comfortable than before.

This is mainly because the animal skins in the camp are used by the Liangzhou soldiers.

The animal skin is much warmer than the cotton jacket, and when wrapped around the body, it is not afraid of the mountain wind.

At this time, the Liangzhou soldiers no longer had military appearance, and they all looked similar to the people in animal skins.

And Ba Tianlei didn't lie, that small camp was indeed not too far from the royal tent of the Xia clan.

The crowd marched for another day and a night, and finally walked out of the mountains.

When I passed through a large forest and looked ahead, I saw the shadow of a huge camp looming in my sight.

That's the Tent of the Hale King.

After walking for six days, they finally saw the figure of the king of the Xia clan, and the Liangzhou soldiers were all excited.

Li Chongyi immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to the forest to rest for two hours.

Taking advantage of these two hours, the tired and tired Liangzhou soldiers sat directly on the ground and fell asleep.

Li Chongyi walked to the edge of the forest, climbed an old tree, and looked in the direction of the royal tent of the Xia clan.

Due to the distance, he couldn't really see it, but he felt that the scale of the royal tent of the Xia clan was very large.

Two hours later, it was noon.

Li Chongyi sent the order down, told the soldiers to fill their stomachs, and prepared to attack.

Don't look at the Liangzhou pawn who is casual on weekdays, but when he is about to go to the battlefield, the Liangzhou pawn is still neat.

Everyone lined up in battle, their eyes widened one by one, and they held their breath.

They just waited for Li Chongyi's order and rushed out.

Li Chongyi looked back and saw that his brother was ready. He drew his ring knife and raised it high.

After pausing in the air for three seconds, he fell down sharply and shouted at the same time: "Rush! ”

More than 4,000 Liangzhou soldiers poured out of the dense forest like a tide.

The speed of their running was increased to the extreme, and they rushed straight to the tent of the Ha Clan.

The royal tent of the Xia tribe is the core of the Xia tribe and the largest stockade.

The people of the people came in and out, and the crowds were continuous, and it was very lively.

But the people of Xia never dreamed that the Liangzhou pawn would go deep into his hinterland unknowingly and attack the king's tent.

It wasn't until the Liangzhou soldiers were less than 500 meters away from the Xia Clan's royal tent that the defenders of the Xia's royal tent realized the enemy's situation.

At the time, the people at the gate of the palace of the king of the Xia tribe shouted and neighed and shouted for a long time.

The soldiers of the Xia tribe wanted to close the gate of the wall, but the gate was full of bridges and groups of people, and the door could not be closed at all.

From a distance, seeing the chaos of the other party's walled door, Li Chongyi knew that the other party had finally discovered his own traces.

He sped up his horse, turned around and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”

When the Liangzhou soldiers heard this, they took off the longbows on their backs, and then drew out arrows, set up arrow strings, and fired arrows in unison.

Call!

The rain of arrows rose from the cavalry formation, drawing a long arc in the air, and then fell sharply towards the gate of the tent of the king of the Xia tribe.
