Chapter 868: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth

In the city of Dali, the backyard of the former county government.

At sunset, the evening breeze blows, gradually taking away the heat left in Taiyuan during the day.

Chai Shao and the others, who took off their iron helmets and iron armor and changed into silk armor dresses, sat under the trees in the backyard of the county government, blowing the evening breeze, eating barbecue, and cold wine.

"I didn't expect this Turk to be so good, and he could treat me so generously."

Sun Hua said, "My Tang Dynasty and the Turks are now allies, this time we will lead 100,000 troops to the north, it is a prosperous relationship, of course we have to entertain well." ”

"Come, drink, this wine is really good, damn it, since I came out of Jiuyuan, I haven't drunk a drop of wine for almost a month, as soon as this wine enters my throat, I feel that the whole person is alive again."

"Hahaha!"

"Good meat and good wine, but it's a pity that there are no courtesans and dancers, otherwise it would be even more refreshing."

Chai Shao didn't follow them as profligately, he maintained the image of a nobleman very uprightly, holding a knife in his hand and gently cutting the roast sheep, the roasted mutton was golden in appearance, exuding an incomparably charming fragrance.

Finely cut a thin slice down and put it in your mouth, that feeling really makes you want to sigh.

Compared with those guys who think about women as soon as they have wine and meat, Chai Shao is enjoying the barbecue at this time while thinking about his next move.

Now that Jieli has defeated the Qin army in Dingxiang and waved his army into the pass, the next step is to break through the clouds, and then go down to Taiyuan. Even Luo Siye and Simo couldn't hold Dingxiang, and Liu Hongji couldn't hold Yunzhong.

Maybe before he reached the clouds, Liu Hongji had already broken the city and lost his army.

Hedong, Taiyuan.

If Taiyuan goes down again, I am afraid that Luo Cheng will no longer be able to stop the pace of the coalition army, but if Taiyuan and Fanyang are captured, the Tang army must insist on getting Hedong in hand.

"Why hasn't your general come yet?"

Chai Shao beckoned to a Turkic soldier in front of the back yamen, and then asked.

But the Turk soldier just shook his head.

Shi Danai asked him in Turkic dialect, and this time the Turkic soldier answered, but only said that the general was still busy arranging the preparation of grain and grass supplies for the Tang army, and said that he would come over when he was done.

Another round of drinking.

The last bit of light on the horizon finally faded away, and night fell.

Whether it was Chai Shao and other officers in the city, or those Tang soldiers in the ten-mile company camp of the Tang Army outside the city, they were basically full of food and drink, and even a little drunk.

The moon has quietly risen.

The gates of Dali City, which had been open, were quietly closed.

On the tower of the city gate, several large lanterns were hung, and the red lanterns were hung high, which was very conspicuous.

On the top of the hill five miles south of Dali City, a group of Qin soldiers kept an eye on the direction of Dali, and when they saw the two eye-catching red lanterns hanging high, they immediately hung two strings of red lanterns.

Red lanterns are lit one after another on the hillside, and the light is transmitted down the mountain.

The valley at the foot of the mountain.

Yin Kaishan and Hou Junji, two generals, led 30,000 foot riders here at this time, and they had already recuperated for a long time.

"The red lantern is hanging!"

Yin Kaishan said excitedly, "It's time to attack!" ”

Hou Junji jumped on the war horse and waved the horse lance, "Attack!" ”

30,000 paces are all on the horse.

Under the cover of night, they slaughtered the Tang army camp a few miles to the north.

After the soldiers and horses left the valley, they immediately divided into three routes.

Hou Junji led 18,000 infantry on horseback to charge in the middle, while 6,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks.

When Hou Junji's 18,000 infantry rode horses and rushed a few hundred steps outside the Tang camp, the soldiers on duty of the Tang army noticed them and raised a loud alarm.

At this time, Hou Junji was not flustered at all.

He straddled his horse and began to direct the infantry to a halt.

The soldiers did not charge the camp on horseback, but stopped their mounts and dismounted.

They handed their horses to the soldiers watching them, and then quickly assembled in formation.

One army after another was rapidly assembling.

In the darkness of the night, they were methodical.

A few hundred steps away on the opposite side, the Tang army camp was shouting in a panic and was noisy.

"Enter!"

Liu Hongji drank loudly.

A team leader, each standing at the front of the team, followed by a flag bearer, holding the flag high.

The leader of the team leads the team forward, moving forward in order.

No one rushed with bravery, the Qin army emphasized the overall strength, not individual bravery, and if they charged indiscriminately, they would be beheaded.

The infantry soldiers of the Xuanwu army of the Qin army in iron armor came on horseback, with sufficient physical strength, shield warriors in the front row, spearmen in the back, crossbowmen in the back, and jumping sword and shield soldiers on both sides.

Facing the Tang Army company camp with neither a barracks nor a moat.

The eyes of the infantry of the Xuanwu Army were indifferent.

When they approached the Tang camp, there were barely Tang troops in the camp who gathered a team of threes and twos.

"Kill!"

The Qin sergeant shouted, and then fired a volley at the Tang army.

The teams that had just been assembled in twos and threes immediately fell down many people, and they suddenly thinned out.

The Qin army continued to move forward, and the two teams finally approached, and the Qin army stabbed out one by one, interspersed with bows and arrows from behind.

"Thorn!"

"Close!"

"Thorn!"

"Close!"

The leader of the team just gave repeated orders, and with his orders, the Xuanwu infantry continued to stab their spears, retract, and steadily advance with the stabbing attacks.

They were moving slowly, but no one could stop them.

Many Tang soldiers were still a little drunk and faint at this time, and some had even fallen asleep.

In a hurry, he didn't even have to wear armor, not to mention that Chai Shaojun's armor rate was less than thirty percent.

There is not even a military formation, how can they resist such a strong army of Xuanwu infantry.

Hou Jun gathered 18,000 infantry, leaving a few thousand people behind to lead the horses, and the remaining 15,000 soldiers marched in formation, and no one could stop them.

On both flanks, Yin Kaishan led 6,000 cavalry to attack the left flank of the Tang camp, while Duan Zhixuan led 6,000 cavalry to attack the right flank of the Tang camp.

They were one on the left and one on the right, the two wings were trapped, and the cavalry raided and killed the Tang army by surprise.

In the city of Dali.

The gates of the city have long been closed.

When the shouts of killing outside the city were everywhere, Chai Shao and others were also facing the embarrassment of being closed and beaten by dogs.

The rear yamen was closed at some point, and many Qin army crossbowmen appeared on the four walls of the county ya.

Arrows rained down, and the drunken Tang general Sun Hua was directly shot in the head by an arrow, and Wang Changkai just stood up, his hand was still on the handle of the knife, and he was shot in the chest by an arrow.

The two generals were killed directly.

Chai Shao reacted quickly, he drank less wine, so he reacted quickly, and when he heard the wind and rain, he quickly overturned the table in front of him, and hid behind the table, so that he could avoid several arrows.

"Why did the Turks kill us?" Someone was shouting in a panic.

Chai Shao hid behind the table, looking at the arrows flying everywhere, he picked one from the side and grabbed it in his hand to look at it carefully.

"Damn, this is not a Turk, it's the Qin army, this arrow has the mark of the Xuanwu Army on it, and we are in charge of Luo Siye."

As soon as he heard this, the officers of the Tang Army in the courtyard were as faceless as ashes, this was a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and they were sent to the door, and their lives were rested!
