Chapter 43: The Moon Lake Ambush

Almost at the same time, Kang arrived ten miles away from Moon Lake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although it is autumn, the sun in the desert is still scorching.

The rebels under the morale endured their thirst and walked cautiously on the dunes.

They are far inferior to the Tang Army in this respect, and the Tang Army is based on military orders, and orders and prohibitions are the basic code of a soldier.

Pei Min ordered the army to go along the top of the sand dunes, and no one dared to disobey it.

But the rebels are different, they have always been casual.

Although He Heinu is also a living map of the desert and has also told him not to be careless, there are not many people in the army who obey him.

There are always some people who think they can't walk under the hills, but the middle of the dunes is fine, and they don't have to go down to the bottom of the dunes to step on quicksand, and they can avoid the scorching sun.

As a result, the sand landslide, more than 300 soldiers did not roll down the sand dunes, and were swallowed by the man-eating quicksand.

The natural power of the desert on the other side is as small as human beings.

Three hundred soldiers was not much, but it dealt a serious blow to the morale of the entire rebel army. Muddy, cautious march, everyone is afraid of stepping into the footsteps.

Not only that, they are not physically equal, and they are selfish to each other, they will not support each other, let alone share each other's water resources, and they will fall behind as many as 500 people along the way.

This desert has not yet reached half of it, and it has already lost more than 800 yuan.

He Heinu took off his helmet, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hands, licked his chapped lips, carefully poured the last few drops of water in the water bladder into his mouth, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Ten miles later, it will be Moon Lake." The brothers worked harder, and when they got to Moon Lake, they had enough to eat and drink. ”

A group of people who are almost out of water, there is no more compelling news than this.

Just like Cao Cao's Wangmei quenching his thirst in the past, the rebels couldn't help but speed up.

For about half an hour, Moon Lake was close in front of me.

Looking at the lake in the distance, like a crescent moon in the sky, the rebels couldn't help but shout and rush towards the moon lake.

It looked like a bull in heat, with red eyes and all sorts of low growls coming out of its throat.

At the height of the sand dunes, he saw the scenery of Moon Lake from a distance, and saw that there was nothing suspicious in this oasis in the desert, and he did not stop the madness of his soldiers.

After marching in the desert for several days, it was time to rest according to their wishes.

Kang Zhibin still cautiously arranged scouts, let them go to the sand dunes in various places to guard, and slowly rushed to Moon Lake.

The rebels were still crazy, and rushed directly into the Moon Lake, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, while scrubbing their bodies and drinking each other's bath water to quench their thirst.

Kang Zhibin, He Heinu and his entourage naturally chose to take water upstream for drinking.

An Murong and He Heinu were rough people, and they also jumped into the water nakedly.

Kang Zhibin is proficient in Han culture, pays attention to manners and image, just takes a square scarf and elegantly takes care of his sideburns and face.

That's when amazing changes took place.

Suddenly I heard a sharp bone flute......

Before the sound of the flute could be heard, it immediately stopped.

The sand was raised, and a troop of cavalry swooped over the sand dunes in the distance, flying straight ahead!

The rebels, who were drinking the water of the lake, were not mentally prepared for the sudden appearance of the enemy, and they could not help but be in an uproar.

Kang Zhibin looked back in amazement, and couldn't help but gasp: Tang Qi is at least more than 3,000 people, although his own side has five times the strength of their side, but the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are all tired, and now they are either playing in the water, wasting not much physical energy, or drinking a full stomach of water and lying on the ground like a dead dog.

How to fight in this situation?

Hurry up and look around, this area is an oasis with a flat river, the sharpest cavalry gallops, and there is nowhere to escape if you want to.

"Enemy attack!" In any case, Kang Zhibin can only organize a counterattack as much as possible at the moment in order to get a glimmer of life.

"Everyone takes weapons and goes into the water, and fights the Tang Army in the water!"

Kang's response was not immediate.

The cavalry of the Tang army came too fast, they wanted to take their horses and fight, and the speed was too late to mention.

The cavalry without speed fought against the galloping cavalry, and the end was self-evident. In addition, they lacked spears to deal with cavalry, and could not form a gun formation to resist cavalry assaults in a hurry.

The only way to fight in the water is to use the current to relieve the impact of the cavalry. Only then will they have the possibility of a war.

In this critical situation, Kang Zhibin calmed down, and after judging the situation, he quickly issued orders, giving full play to the highest efficiency of a commander.

After giving those orders, Kang Zhibin pulled He Heinu and whispered: "Brother He, this battle is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious." Do you know water? ”

He Heinu looked at Kang Zhibin in astonishment, saw the sincerity in his eyes, and nodded silently.

Kang Zhibin's command and efficiency were still unable to stop the fierce offensive of the Tang army.

Shi Yan and Fugu Huaien took the lead, ignoring the obstruction of the water flow and rushed directly into the Moon Lake.

Especially Fugu Huaien, he is a native of Tiele and a descendant of the Xiongnu.

This Tiele people are known for their courage and good fighting, and they are the strongest of the grassland tribes.

The khans on the steppe, almost as soon as they ascended the throne, the first thing was to win over the Tiele people and fight for them, and with the help of the Tiele people, they had the confidence to be able to follow the tribes for a long time.

The only regret is that the Tiele clan was not born, and grassland kings such as Mao Dun and Jieli have always been the strongest fighters of the grassland king.

He was like a bolt of lightning, avoiding the resistance of the lake, and bravely crashed into the crowd, smashing the rebels in front of him, flying out of the water and knocking down a group of people.

The weapon of Fugu Huai'en is the horse lance, one of the strongest weapons in horse warfare, flying vertically and horizontally, and in an instant, the surrounding thieves let him clean up.

Shi Yan didn't have such riding skills, but he was brave, wielding a machete, swinging left and right, like chopping vegetables from melon, hacking the surrounding thieves to death in the lake.

Other Tang soldiers also relied on the advantage on horseback, invincible, and killed people when they saw them, as if they were ghosts and gods who had returned to the world from hell.

The lake was dyed scarlet......

No fighting spirit, low physical strength, low morale, the three converge on the rebels, how much combat power can they have?

If it weren't for the fact that the rebels were too numerous, they could barely resist with their numerical superiority. With the same number of people, it doesn't take half an hour to win the battle.

But with the arrival of Pei Min leading the soldiers and horses, the number gap was completely closed.

Li Yide and Xia Shan, who were holding back their anger, cut directly into Moon Lake and harvested the remnants of the rebels.

Adhering to the style of not taking prisoners, the Tang army has always waved the butcher's knife, no matter whether the other party surrenders or not, whether the other party gives up resistance or not, they do not hesitate to kill them with one knife until the last person falls.
