Chapter 1256: Night Fraud Camp
It would take two more days for Qin Tian to arrive in Songzhou.
This is very bad news for Niu Jinda.
If it were normal times, two days would really be too short to be shorter, and no one would take this seriously.
But now, every minute and second is very important to Niu Jinda.
Perhaps, in half a day, it will be possible to decide whether Songzhou City can be defended.
It would take Qin Tian two days to be able to arrive, which was too long for them.
However, they can't do anything about it.
Soon, Niu Jinda calmed down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before Qin Tian comes, we must find a way to defend Songzhou City, what good plan do you have?"
Niu Jinda asked, and the others looked at each other.
Now that they are tired like this, it is really not easy to defend Songzhou City.
But soon, a general stood up and said, "General, we can cheat the camp, if we can succeed, Tubo will definitely not have the energy to fight with us tomorrow, in this case, we can have one more day." ”
The fraudulent camp, as the name suggests, is to make the Tibetans think that they are going to attack the camp, and then cause chaos in the Tibetan military camp.
The barracks are not large, and if there is a big chaos, they will definitely trample on each other, causing some casualties.
And the deception camp will prevent the Tibetan soldiers and horses from resting.
If they don't rest well and have a certain amount of damage, then they will definitely not rashly attack the city.
The deceitful camp is about to leave the city.
Their Tang army had not been out of the city since the last defeat.
Over time, those Tibetans must have thought that they would not go out of the city, and they would not dare to go out of the city.
In this way, it is easier for them to succeed in deception.
After the soldier came up with such an idea, Niu Jinda thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, just do it, send thousands of soldiers and horses to the deception camp tonight, and after the deception camp is successful, then use a hot air balloon to burn the Tibetan military camp for me, no matter what, I have to hold on." ”
They had to hold out until Qin Tian rushed back with his soldiers and horses.
After Niu Jinda gave such an order, someone soon answered and went to make arrangements.
The military camp of Datang was noisy for a while, but soon calmed down again.
Niu Jinda did not rest, he was waiting, waiting for the result of the camp tonight.
After midnight, it was quieter.
A Tang army quietly left Songzhou City, and it didn't take long for them to come outside the military camp in Tubo.
The military camp in Tibet is also quiet, the bonfire has burned only ashes, a few torches are shaking back and forth, some soldiers are patrolling, but they may also be a little sleepy, when walking back and forth, the whole person's eyes seem to be squinted.
The Don army did not rush in.
Instead, they took out some of the oxen they had brought, and tied something to their tails that could easily be ignited.
After doing everything in this way, they suddenly drew their knives and slashed at the ox's buttocks.
After this knife, the cattle that had been very docile suddenly became very violent, and after they screamed, they rushed into the barracks in a frenzy.
And as they rushed in, the flammable material on their tails had already been ignited.
The cattle became so mad that when they stormed the barracks, they immediately smashed the whole barracks.
At the same time, the Tang army outside the barracks did not leave, but made some attractive movements, such as shouting, such as the sound of horses' hooves.
They wanted to give the Tibetan soldiers and horses in the barracks the illusion that the Tang army was attacking the camp and there were many people coming.
Only then will they become flustered.
The shouts were endless, and the Tibetan soldiers and horses in the barracks suddenly panicked.
The soldiers on patrol couldn't help but shout loudly: "Oh no, the Tang army attacked the camp, the Tang army attacked the camp......"
The sound of drums and shouts alternated in this way, and the Tibetan soldiers and horses, who were resting, rushed out in a hurry after hearing this.
They were a little flustered, and after rushing out, some of them were hit to the ground by cattle and horses, and after some people fell to the ground, the people behind them couldn't see the situation clearly, and they were immediately knocked down again.
The barracks were chaotic, and there were constant stampedes.
Before many Tibetan soldiers and horses could understand what was happening, they were trampled to death by cows, horses, and people.
Songtsen Gampo was resting, and when he heard the movement outside, he flew up and sat up.
"What's going on, what's going on outside?"
Soon, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, the Tang army has attacked the camp, and our army is now in chaos." ”
"Raiding the camp?" Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment, they had already beaten the Tang army and could only shrink in Songzhou City, how could they dare to attack the camp?
Songtsen Gampo felt strange, and after he ran out of the big tent, he observed it a little, and soon found that it was not the Tang army attacking the camp, but the fraudulent camp.
It's a one-word difference, but it's a big difference.
The attack on the camp was the main force of the Tang Army, and the deception of the camp was purely to disturb them.
"Damn, such a trick dares to be used in my barracks."
After scolding, Songtsen Gampo hurriedly sent someone to appease the soldiers, since it was a fraudulent camp, as long as the soldiers were quiet and calm, then everything would be solved.
Soon after Songtsen Gampo gave the order, someone was in the barracks to pacify him.
The barracks, which originally seemed to be chaotic, really had a trace of calm.
After Tang Jun outside the barracks saw this, he faintly felt a little bad.
But at this time, someone immediately ordered: "Operation hot air balloon burned the military camp in Tibet for me." ”
After this order, the Tang army did not hesitate, and immediately retreated to Songzhou City with soldiers and horses.
They knew very well that since the deception camp had been spotted by the soldiers and horses of Tibet, then soon Songtsen Gampo would send troops and horses to encircle and suppress them, their numbers were not large, and their combat effectiveness was not particularly strong.
Fighting hard with the soldiers and horses of Tubo is just asking for hardship.
The Tang army retreated, and in the night sky, a few bright spots suddenly appeared, and then, one after another rockets flew down from the night sky, and after a while, the entire Tubo military camp seemed to be in a sea of fire.
"Damn, the Tang army is really hateful, they dare to burn our barracks, and when I break through Songzhou City, I will slaughter the city for three days, I want them to regret their actions tonight......"
Songtsen Gampo was like thunder, but at this time, the barracks were full of fire, and he was angry again, and he couldn't do anything to the Tang army.
"Fight the fire, hurry up and put out the fire......"
The barracks were chaotic and the fire was raging.
On the side of Songzhou City, Niu Jinda has been standing on the city tower and watching, and when he saw the sky-high firelight, the corners of his mouth finally showed a light smile.
"It seems that it has succeeded."
If it succeeds, things will take a turn for the better, and there will be hope for holding Songzhou City.
