Chapter 255: Surprise Attack on the King's Tent

The Turks did not live in the cities, but lived in search of water and grass according to the climate and seasons.

Even if it is the tooth tent of their fixed capital, it does not have a tall city wall like Luoyang.

There was only a ring of tall fences like marching barracks on the periphery.

Next to the fence are a series of tents and cattle pens that can house tens of thousands of people.

Of course, these people usually rode horses to graze, and with swords and guns, they were cavalry.

The steppe dwellers who can live in the tooth tent must be the elite warriors trusted by the Khan.

The tent where the khan lived was also a tent.

It's just that it's several times larger than the average tent.

You can see it from a long distance on a flat grassland!

Li Xingzhou pinched the time just right, and when he arrived here, it was night.

There were patrolling cavalry from time to time, and the Turks had a lot of hunting dogs, and if they approached rashly, they would definitely be discovered.

So, Li Xingzhou led people to stop more than ten miles away from the tooth tent.

Rest for a while to recover a little physical strength, and at the same time, you must also feel the row to observe the reality of the tooth tent.

For the sake of insurance, Li Xingzhou asked Xing Junya and others to take a break here and go to the dental tent to check in person.

This time, there was no need for Li Baishi to ask for his life, Li Xingzhou took her and Wuyang to take care of her.

Li Baishi was very happy that he could finally be "entrusted with a heavy task" by Shanhou's side!

The three abandoned their horses and sped forward in the darkness, silent like three ghosts.

The three of them climbed to a small mound that was slightly higher, and looked at the large Turkic tent from a little distance.

The tooth tents of the Turks have the appearance of a military camp, with countless felt tents connecting more than ten miles wide, and there is a corridor in the middle that allows the cavalry to gallop.

Many braziers were lit at night for illumination, and from time to time some sergeants patrolled around with torches.

The tent has four gates, east, south, and north, and all of them have high towers erected for lookouts.

At night, the towers are brightly lit up as if they were floating in the air.

As usual, Wuyang didn't know where to lurk.

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi lay on the small mound and observed for about half an hour.

"I can't imagine that the Turkic tooth tent is so big!"

Li Baishi whispered.

"It's probably going to take a while to get through the inside on a horse, and the defense seems to be quite tight."

"How are we going to get in, and how are we going to get in and get out of their khan's tent?"

What Li Baishi asked was exactly what Li Xingzhou was thinking about now.

After thinking for a moment, the corners of Li Xingzhou's mouth rose slightly.

"Let's go, go back!"

"Shanhou has an idea?"

"Less nonsense...... Walk! ”

"Oh...... Lord Shanhou! ”

Li Baishi laughed twice.

"Big you, don't be hippie!"

The two quietly went back.

......

"Listen to me!"

Li Xingzhou called Wuyang, Li Baishi, Yan Shun, A Baoji, Wang Rare, Ma Sui, and Xing Junya together and began to order......

"The left wing is led by the king."

"What you have to do is to stay here and set up a position to respond, and when you hear the code "odd and even unchanged", your own people are coming, and you are desperately fighting to respond and retreat. ”

"Those who don't have a code are all enemies, just let the arrows shoot a burst ......"

Now, all the others have given their bows and arrows to the king! ”

"Yes!"

"The front army is led by Yan Shun."

Li Xingzhou said.

"When you see a fire breaking out around the tents of the Turks, you must refrain from moving casually."

"After the tooth tent fires, the Turks will immediately inform the largest leader in the tooth tent of the matter, and ask him to direct the fire and stabilize the situation!"

"I believe that it will not be long before the soldiers and horses who stay to guard the tooth tent will gather around the leader, and then he will send them out to fight the fire."

"When the people around him are almost sparse, it's time for Yan Shun to make a move...... It's a matter of success or failure. ”

"Let me see how steady your hearts are, how poisonous your eyes are, how fast your horses are, and how ruthless your knives are!"

"Yes!"

Yan Shun promised in a deep voice.

Li Xingzhou looked at Abaoji with resolute eyes and a solemn expression.

"Abaoji, Pegasus stepping on the company camp, capturing the enemy general in the army, this is none other than you!"

"I'll give you a hundred taels of gold when it's done!"

Abaoji solemnly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Gold testifies!"

"If you can't capture the enemy general, please behead me!"

Li Xingzhou pressed his hand and signaled them not to make noise, and immediately went their separate ways to prepare.

"The rest of you, come with me to lurk around the tent and set it on fire...... Act rashly and alert the enemy! ”

......

The rest plus Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi just got together forty people.

Li Xingzhou called Ma Sui and Xing Junya together and gave them a detailed introduction to the terrain of the tooth tent and the distribution and rules of enemy patrols.

Tell them how to set fire at the same time.

How to lurk after setting fire.

How to respond to Abaoji's single-knife capture of the king.

And then how to evacuate everything.

All the details, every detail is perfect!

Li Baishi listened quietly on the side, surprised in his heart.

It turned out that fighting a war was so complicated and trivial, and she began to realize a little bit of the importance of "ordering and prohibiting" in the army.

Tonight's action, if there is a detail, Li Xingzhou has not been arranged.

If one of his sergeants makes a slight mistake and exposes the target or fails to carry out the mission.

Or there is a sergeant like her, Li Baishi, who is reckless and reckless.....

Today, more than 100 people must have all come and gone, let alone capture the enemy chieftain!

"You, follow me!"

Li Xingzhou finished all the details and said solemnly to Li Baishi.

"Follow me at any time, and I can reach out to your ears at any time, and never leave half a step! Don't just say a word! ”

"Yes! I keep my mouth shut too! ”

Li Baishi agreed decisively, and immediately pulled a piece of cloth to wrap his mouth, and wrapped it very tightly and firmly.

In Li Xingzhou's mind, there has always been a clock that never stops.

He knew it was about two o'clock in the morning.

In another hour or two, it is the moment when people are most physically sleepy and have a deep sleep.

Even the dogs who take care of the home are at their lowest level of vigilance.

"Check the fire as a whole, and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Xing waved on Monday.

"Everyone kept their mouths shut for me, and I wasn't even allowed to cough."

"Start preparing! ......”

"After counting to thirty in my heart, all of them will lurk with me!"

Yan Shun, A Baoji and Wang rarely watched Li Xing and the pedestrian quietly disappear into the night, their expressions were all grim.

Now they understand why Li Xingzhou took the people of the raid team to practice those things that seemed to have nothing to do with the "cavalry" at all.

Now, all the people of the raid team have super physical strength and will, whether it is foot combat or immediate combat, they all have extremely strong individual combat ability.

Even if it is to find the platoon and survive in the wild, it has the ability to be inferior to that of professional scouts.

Li Xingzhou even taught them a lot of sign language and code codes, which were used to communicate with them behind enemy lines.

In the words of Li Xingzhou, "It is better to prepare for the rain and dig a well without thirst."

If you are going to use ten skills on the battlefield.

Then you usually have to practice 12 points.

And practice everything to the point of twelve! ”

Now it turns out that Li Xingzhou's philosophy is completely correct.

Many of the things he taught that "had nothing to do with cavalry" came in handy.

Otherwise, the reaction speed of the bodies and brains of more than 100 people will definitely be far less than usual.

The slightest distraction or dozing off can lead to failure and kill everyone!

"Twelve Points",

This may be the confidence of Li Xingzhou to dare to bring the hundred soldiers he trained to attack the black sand!

An hour later.

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi lay side by side in front of a tent.

Not far ahead, four Turkic soldiers were dozing around a large fire, snoring, and there were no hounds nearby.

Forty men lurked in the tent without alerting a single hound.

It may seem like a miracle, but it's the result of hard training.

Li Xingzhou gestured to Li Baishi, signaling her to clean up the two Turkic soldiers on the left as quickly as possible.

The remaining two he will deal with. It must be done quietly and as quickly as possible, and then pick up the tinder from the fire and light the tent.

Li Baishi nodded knowingly, and slowly took out the "tiger tooth saber" that Li Xingzhou gave her.

None of them had any weapons like horizontal knives that were in the way and were easily reflective and exposed.

After Li Xingzhou arrived in Shuozhou, he asked the blacksmith in the army to create a lot of tiger tooth sabers suitable for hidden reconnaissance and assassination combat!

Li Xingzhou raised his hand, and the two of them flew out of the shadows like two flying arrows at the same time.

The Huya Saber made its official debut in Datang for the first time, and in one second, it cut the necks of four Turks!

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi started very neatly.

The Turkic soldier didn't even know how he died, his body twitched, and the blood between his neck was like spray.

Immediately, the two of them set fire to the tarpaulin they had prepared already covered with the marching oil.

He threw it at a few large tents nearby, and then hid in a flash.

The tents of the Turks were exposed to the wind and sun all the year round, and they were already very dry, and they burned when they got on fire, and soon a raging fire broke out.

This immediately exploded, and all the people living in several tents nearby ran out, and the scene was chaotic.

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi hid in the darkness without being frightened, slowly lurking and moving.

Killed three disheveled Turks head-on, and set fire to two more tents.

There was a sudden panic in the tent, the body of the slain was found, and the horn of warning whistled whining.

Soon, fires broke out in all directions of the tooth tent connecting more than ten miles, fireworks were seen everywhere, and people blew horns everywhere to warn!

Soon the people in the tent shouted that the horses were neighing and the hounds were barking wildly, and the frightened horses, cattle and sheep rushed out of the circle and fled everywhere.

Some of them were on fire, and more tents were set on fire.

The soldiers under Li Xingzhou were very tricky, picking out places that were easy to be ignited and where there were a lot of livestock.

Livestock rations stockpiled by the Turks and grain looted from the cities of the Central Plains.

And a lot of wool, cowhide, these things, all burned!

It is true that the main purpose of this operation is to startle the grass and snakes, but these war materials have been burned, and the Turkic army will also lose a breath of vitality!

The originally silent Turkic tent was like a sleeping beast in the night, suddenly awakened by a fire.

Yan Shun and Ma Sui, who were a little farther away, were also nervous.

They repeated the military orders issued by Li Xingzhou in their minds almost word by word, and they were ready for battle!

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi inevitably bumped into a large number of Turkic soldiers.

The two tiger tooth sabers were like soul reapers, slaughtering the throats of many Turks in an uncertain manner.

And the arrows of the dancing sun are like ghosts in the night.

Harvesting like crazy.

The Turks were good at cavalry archery and assault, and it was more advantageous to form a cavalry group to launch an assault.

But they are not good at this kind of local assassination-style fighting.

Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi can be regarded as giving full play to the advantages of super personal martial arts and very small goals.

Don't be brutal.

Hide as much as you can, and make sure you kill with one hit.

After killing, you will slip into the shadows, and if you have the chance, you will set fire!

The tooth tents of the Turks look like barracks, but they are not real barracks after all.

In addition to the khan's royal tent, a group of personal guards were often stationed near the palace to be responsible for guarding.

The other tents were all stragglers who lived "as herds in leisure time and as soldiers in wartime".

In a hurry, it was difficult for these stragglers to form an encirclement and annihilation of "masters" like Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi.

The two of them rushed into the flock like two real hungry wolves, unstoppable, and lit countless tents!

The situation was mostly the same for the other Tang troops who were lurking and setting fires separately.

Li Xingzhou reviewed the situation and asked them to avoid lighting a fire near the tooth tent.

The purpose is to prevent them from falling into the encirclement and annihilation of the brigade of soldiers and horses.

The central tent of the Turks soon sounded a huge golden horn and beat the drums of war.

Thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the guards were quickly assembled.

The tooth tent is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, so that it is not leaky!

Abaoji himself lurked in the nearest periphery to the tooth tent.

Seeing the scene in front of him, I had to admire Li Xingzhou so much in my heart!

......

Judging the situation and anticipating the enemy's opportunity, he is definitely a genius battlefield commander!

In the big tooth tent more than ten miles away, there was chaos everywhere with fireworks everywhere.

The wind blows all year round on the grasslands, and dry tents, pasture grass and burning livestock take advantage of the wind to make the fires worse.

The horns and drums beat non-stop near the tent of the Chinese army.

Yan Shun frowned, paying attention to every move there.

More and more Turkic cavalry was pouring towards the tent.

Compared with the fire of the "private house", the safety of the tooth tent is of course the most important.

When things happened at night, the first reaction of the Turks was to concentrate on protecting the tooth tent first.

Even if their own tents were set on fire, the Turkic soldiers hurried to the tents of the Chinese army first.

Li Xingzhou and the others accepted it when they saw it, and when they came in, everyone chose a retreat route for themselves first, and they slipped away one after another.

Of course, the battle is inevitable, and there are also people who are trapped in the siege and cannot escape.

Forty people, except for Li Xingzhou and Li Baishi, there is a partner.

Everyone else was fighting alone.

If you are besieged, it means that you will never come back.

When they left Shuozhou, everyone already had the consciousness of "dead soldiers" in their hearts.

Now I don't even have time for a flash of sadness in my mind.

The most important plan is about to be executed!

.....

Surprise Attack on the King's Tent!
