Chapter 404: Attack on the Camp
"Otherwise, you sit in the big camp, and I will lead 3,000 people to attack the enemy camp to see if I can burn their grain and grass." Niu Jinda squinted his eyes and said, he felt that this was a good opportunity, who would have thought that the enemy would dare to attack them from afar.
"In that case, take a risk, and if you can't do anything, you must withdraw it."
Hou Junji frowned and said, although he is the coach, Niu Jinda is his deputy, and he can't refute Niu Jinda's face many times.
"My lord, why don't you let your subordinates lead the army! How can you risk your life? ”
Niu Jinda's generals immediately rushed out to lead the troops into battle, and Hou Junji's subordinates watched quietly, and they couldn't do this in a hurry, who wasn't tired like a dog, and wouldn't they be afraid of being tired to death if they had to attack at night?
"Needless to say, you guard the camp, and the chief will go back as soon as he goes." Niu Jinda said unvetoed, glanced at the meat that had not been eaten and ordered: "Keep this meat for me, and the manager will come back to eat it later." ”
Niu Jinda left the tent to order troops, Hou Junji stunned his face and ate for a while, thought about it and said: "Dian Li, I ordered you to take two thousand people to ambush on the road, so as to meet the head of the cow." Tan Zhi, I ordered you to be in charge of tonight's patrol, the chief of this university suspects that the enemy army will attack the camp, and this important task will be entrusted to you, maybe it will be done? ”
"The last general is willing to make a military order." Tan Zhi knelt on one knee and said loudly.
Hou Junji nodded with satisfaction, he had to win this battle, not only to prove that he was stronger than Cai Cong, but also to take his unlucky girl home from the cold palace.
It's not that I feel sorry for my daughter, but that's too embarrassing for him.
The tugu muddy snowflakes in the night were mixed with gravel, the wind was whistling and raising the white snow with sand grains on people's faces and making people feel painful, Tan Zhi rubbed his palms and cursed in his mouth, it was obviously February, but the wind and snow were still whistling, and there were dark clouds in the sky, he felt that no one should attack the camp in this weather.
"All the mothers cheer up, walk around when you are sleepy, how dare the Tubo people of the son of a come to provoke our Tang Dynasty, and the harmful Lao Tzu wants to come to this ghost place to drink the northwest wind."
Tan Zhi shouted, stomped his feet, and the chain mail rattled as he walked, bringing a little noise to the silent night. As he walked back and forth, an arrow grazed his nose and landed at the pillar with a thud.
One step between life and death, Tan Zhi's face turned white. He trembled and bent down, bounced up and howled: "The enemy has attacked~ ignition and drumming." Enemy attack! ”
Tan Zhi howled, those arrows whizzed, the muffled drums sounded, and the entire military camp instantly woke up like a giant beast from its slumber.
Hou Junji walked out of the camp tent under the protection of the guards with his sword, he didn't sleep too deeply, so he woke up as soon as he heard the sound of drums. "Pass my military order and line up to meet the battle."
Hou Junji listened to the shouts outside, and those soldiers did not sleep to death, and soon lined up in battle, waiting for Hou Junji's military order.
"Get out of the city and fight!"
Hou Junji said domineeringly, and the herald immediately rode a horse and struck the herald of the gong. At that moment, no arrows came in from outside, and the shouts and fires were gone.
"Let's go check it out." Hou Junji said with a frown, and in less than a moment, the herald came to report that the enemy army had withdrawn.
Hou Junji's face was ugly, this is the method of labor, knowing that the Tang army came from afar and was exhausted, he wanted to harass them and prevent them from sleeping!
"Hmph, you want to play the art of war with me, you are grandchildren." Hou Junji snorted coldly, thought about it, and said with a sneer: "Since you want to play, Lao Tzu will play with you." The order was given, each army fell asleep in batches, and each soldier took turns to stay at night, and all the soldiers did not leave their swords and armor, waiting for Lao Tzu's order at any time. ”
"Yes!"
Hou Junji turned around and went back to his tent, and he didn't go to sleep again. Instead, sit in a chair and doze off with your head propped up, so that you don't fall asleep from being too tired.
Half an hour later, the enemy's arrows and shouts began to sound again, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums. Hou Junji jumped up from his chair, and after a while, the soldiers came to report that the enemy had retreated.
Hou Junji's face was extremely ugly, although this was a strategy for the tired army, but who could guarantee that this harassment would not be mixed with a real attack on the camp? So he woke up once he heard it.
Tubo was disturbed eight times overnight, and none of the whole army on Hou Junji's side slept well, although Hou Junji asked them to sleep in batches, but they dared to really sleep, in case someone hit in, they didn't know how their heads were cut. Now one by one, yawning and carrying knives to ask Hou Junji to fight, disturbing people's dreams is a great crime!
But Hou Junji refused without thinking about it, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just said that his judgment had dropped by fifty percent, and if he was ambushed when he went out, it would be a big loss.
"Hah...... I ordered everyone not to sleep, and to hold out until dawn, and if there was any attack on the camp, it would be a real attack on the camp. Pay attention to Lao Tzu. Hou Junji yawned and said viciously, the sky is almost dawn, if they haven't retreated yet, they just want to take advantage of this time to attack the camp, otherwise as soon as the day dawns, there will be nowhere to hide.
The 50,000-strong army looked coldly at the night, and the 5,000 archers looked coldly outside, as long as someone attacked the camp, they would definitely let the enemy know what despair was.
The light of the morning star became weaker and weaker, and the sun rose dimly from the east, as if it could not break through the fog.
At this time, the Tang army was already extremely sleepy, and some even snorted with weapons.
At this moment, a sound of breaking the air sounded, Tan Zhi shouted that the enemy attacked, and the dozing person was immediately awakened, and before he could see what was going on, he saw a huge stone falling on his head, Hou Junji's eyes were split, he didn't expect that the other party actually had this kind of trebuchet used for siege, he could only watch his soldiers being smashed into pulp.
"The shieldman resists, the archer shoots me, shoots me!" Hou Junji shouted with red eyes, the shieldman with a big waist and a round waist like a bear held a huge shield to block the stones falling from the sky, and the archer raised a salvo of crossbow arrows.
Although Tubo has taken the lead, their understanding of Datang is still stuck in Li Yuan's time, how do they know how terrifying Datang's weapons are now.
The crossbows were far more powerful than they could have imagined, and in what they thought was safe, the arrows in the sky pierced them like awls falling from the sky.
"Stand back, back away, how can their arrows shoot so far?" The Tibetan generals shouted in shock, this distance is more than three hundred and fifty steps! Could it be that Datang has countless marksmen?
The raid had failed, and those who followed the trebuchets to attack were all targeted, shot by arrow after arrow in the uncovered clearing, and died in agony in their wailing.
