After Zhang Yun had a clear idea, it didn't take much effort to find the nest of the party members, and they found the fire in the middle of Qingniu Mountain that night.

After confirming the nest of the party members, Zhang Yun sent several soldiers back to report, and he himself led the other soldiers up the mountain to monitor the camp of the party members from a high place.

At noon, a low horn suddenly came out of the mountainside, Zhang Yun hurriedly leaned on a big stone and looked at the mountainside, only to see more than 1,000 black-clothed cavalry in the camp being assembled, and in a moment, the camp gate was opened, and more than 1,000 cavalry went down the mountain.

"Captain, I'm afraid they're going to attack the convoy tonight!" One of his subordinates whispered.

Zhang Yun nodded, since the other party has a base, he must be preparing to attack the convoy tonight, he took out the map and handed it to the two subordinates and said, "You guys immediately rush back to report, I will continue to monitor here!" ”

"Obey!"

The two men took out the map and turned to go down the mountain.

Zhang Yun continued to monitor the party camp, and he found that there were less than 100 party members left behind.

........

Before nightfall, the Ganzhou army was stationed again, and they piled up the baggage supplies in the middle, and around it were the baggage carts, forming a square circle with a circumference of about four miles, and all the family members, cattle and coachmen hid in the square circle, and the flammable forage was placed in the center, piled up like a hill, and the 8,000 cavalry were distributed around.

At the same time that Zhang Yun's subordinates sent the information, Mengzi had also discovered the black-clothed cavalry more than twenty miles away, they were like a black cloud drifting, it was difficult to capture the siege, Guo Song simply gave up the plan to hunt them, and he decided to use another way to completely annihilate this army.

Night had fallen, and more than a thousand family members were wrapped in blankets and hid in the middle of the piles of supplies and hay, sitting or lying, and the cold of the night made the crowd cough incessantly, and they had not received much information except that a horse bandit might come to attack them, and they were quite worried about what fate they would face.

Xue Tao saw that Ah Qiu was worried, so he put his arm around her shoulders and smiled: "Don't worry, we have 8,000 cavalry!" How could it be that it was not the opponent of a group of horse bandits, and this arrangement was just to wipe out the horse bandits. ”

Ah Qiu nodded, and said, "Madam, I heard that there will be a war in Ganzhou?" ”

Xue Tao smiled slightly: "Don't worry! We live in Zhangye City, and the husband said that the nomadic cavalry is not good at attacking the city, and we have enough troops to hold Zhangye City, not only to hold Ganzhou, but also to completely drive the Shatuo people out of the Hexi Corridor. ”

"Madam, after arriving in Ganzhou, I want to continue studying, is that okay?"

"Of course you can, I can also teach you to paint and play the piano if you want, you should have a hobby."

Having said that, Xue Tao was also a little worried about whether she could buy the books she wanted after arriving in Ganzhou, which was a question she had been worried about.

The time gradually came to the time of two watches, most of the people could not stay sleepy, and fell asleep, but the cavalry was extremely vigilant, and the sneak attack at night was generally between two and three watches at night.

Guo Song stood due north, watching the movement in the north, at this time, a peripheral scout rushed over, hugged his fists and said: "Qiyu Dudu, the other party has assembled ten miles to the northeast!" ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and ordered left and right: "Notify you and act according to the original plan!" ”

"Obey!"

Several soldiers split up to inform.

.........

In the northeast direction of about ten miles away from the camp, more than 1,000 black-clothed horse bandits have been assembled, and the leader Tuoba Tong is still a little hesitant, the news he has found before tells him that the Tang army is quite well defended, and it seems that they have realized that they will encounter danger here, which is not surprising, the local government will definitely tell them that horse bandits are raging in this area.

Tuoba Tong hesitates, how much will it cost? How much can they achieve from their attacks? Their goal is the cart and the oxen, cut off the axle of the cart, kill the transported oxen, the team will not be able to transport so many supplies, and they will definitely lose some of the supplies, which will become their trophies.

If it doesn't work once, twice, twice, three times, constant harassment and constant attacks, he believes that he will gain a lot of money, but the only thing that worries Tuoba Tong is that the opponent has too many troops, and they are all cavalry, and if the battle is unfavorable, it will cause heavy losses to himself.

At this time, an adjutant general said in a low voice: "The opponent gathered troops in the northeast corner, obviously found something, we simply feinted to attack the northeast corner, and then went straight south to attack due east, and took them by surprise." ”

This is a typical tactic of the party members, who suddenly change direction at the last moment and hit the opponent's weak points, generally by feintting to attack the northwest and hit due west, or to feint to attack the northeast but to hit due east.

Tuoba nodded slowly, unless he decided to give up, the arrow was already wound, and they were not allowed to stop.

He shouted, "Follow me, attack!" ”

More than 1,000 cavalrymen followed Tuoba Tong to attack, and they were like a spear that shot at the northeast corner of the Tang army's garrison.

'When! While! While! The two thousand Tang cavalry in the northeast corner lined up in formation, ready to meet the enemy's sneak attack at night.

In the dark night, more than a thousand black-clothed horse bandits rushed like a black whirlwind, but when they were still one mile away from the Tang cavalry, they suddenly turned south and bypassed the Tang cavalry.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army saw that the other side was heading south, they didn't know why, and the Zhonglang general Ma Weijiang shouted: "Don't move rashly, hold your position!" ”

The black-clothed party cavalry bypassed the Tang army in the northeast corner, and after going south for a few miles, it suddenly turned west and went straight to the Tang army garrison camp, which was still one mile away from the Tang army garrison camp, and a large number of Tang army cavalry appeared in front of them.

At this time, there was a low sound of horns on both sides, and the cavalry of the Tang Army came from the north, south, and west, Tuoba Tong was taken aback, he realized that the other party had an ambush, and knew that he would kill from the east.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

Tuoba Tong shouted urgently, the party cavalry turned their horses and galloped eastward, the Tang cavalry pursued all the way, and after killing hundreds of people, Tuoba Tong finally led the remnants of the soldiers to escape the pursuit of the Tang army.

They rushed out for more than 30 miles in one go, and when they saw that the Tang army was no longer chasing, they stopped, took a moment to breathe, Tuoba Tong counted the number of people, he led 1,100 people to attack, but there were less than 600 people left, and nearly half of the soldiers died in the ambush of the Tang army.

Tuoba Tong felt extremely remorseful in his heart, he should not be carried away by greed to provoke this powerful army.

He let out a long sigh and said to everyone, "Go back to camp!" I will confess my sins to the Great Chief. ”

The team waited for more than half an hour to make sure that there were no more survivors, and then followed the main general back to the camp of Qingniu Mountain in despair.

..........

What Tuoba Tong couldn't have imagined was that at this time, the Qingniu Mountain camp had been wiped out by the Tang army, Yao Jin led 3,000 cavalry under the leadership of the scout captain Zhang Yun, and took advantage of the night to kill the Qingniu Mountain camp, and they were merciless and killed a hundred remaining party soldiers.

More than 60 young women were rescued from captivity, and more than a dozen large wooden houses were seized, as well as more than 1,000 camels, as well as a large amount of grain and grass.

But the war was far from over, Yao Jin had pacified the women and had them take care of them, while he led his army to hide in the woods on both sides, waiting for Yu Kou to return to his lair.

At the fifth watch, Tuoba Tong led more than 500 remnants of the cavalry to flee back to the lair in panic, they did not expect that the lair had been taken by the Tang army, they just wanted to return to Xiazhou with their belongings and camels as soon as possible.

The gate of the cottage was closed, and there were dense woods on both sides, and hundreds of party cavalry hurried towards the mountain.

At this time, Yao Jin saw that the other party had entered the ambush circle, and gave an order, "Shoot!" ”

The sound of bangzi suddenly sounded, and the three thousand cavalry fired arrows in unison, and they were condescending, and the dense arrows rained down on the party cavalry on the mountain road.

Tuoba Tong, the leader, was unable to dodge, and was shot through the body by more than 20 arrows, killing him on the spot.

The rest of the cavalry was shot in pieces, crying and wailing, Yao Jin ordered again: "Attack!" ”

'Woo-' The horn sounded, and the three thousand Tang cavalry came out of the woods on both sides, and the retreat behind was also cut off.

Yao Jin prevented the party soldiers from dying and struggling, and did not issue an order to kill, but ordered the Tang army to accept the surrender of the other party.......

Three hundred and fifty party cavalry became prisoners, but what they never dreamed of was that after they were disarmed and bound, they were all killed by the Tang army pushing into the woods, and not a single one was left alive, and all the wounded soldiers were executed.

All 1,200 party cavalrymen pretending to be horse bandits died at the hands of the Ganzhou army, and the Ganzhou Tang Army completely eradicated this party horse bandit who had been causing trouble for more than a year.

It wasn't until the captive women returned to Chengji County that the people of the county knew that the horse bandits had been completely exterminated, but at this time, the Ganzhou army had already gone away.
