Chapter 245: The Heavenly God Descends to Earth
The remaining four fire recruits were not yet in charge, plus Xue Shao and Yuenu just got together to forty people. Xue Shao called the four fire chiefs together, gave them a detailed introduction to the terrain of the tooth tent and the distribution and rules of the enemy's patrols, and instructed them how to agree on everything about setting fire at the same time, how to lurk after setting fire, how to respond to Xue Chuyu's single-handedly capture of the king, and how to evacuate.
All the details, every detail is perfect!
The moon slave 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 operation, if there is a detail that Xue Shao has not arranged, if one of his sergeants has a slight mistake to expose the target or has not carried out the task well, or if there is a sergeant like her Yuenu who is reckless and reckless - all the more than 100 people today will definitely not return, let alone capture the enemy chieftain!
"You, follow me!" Xue Shao finished ordering all the details, and said solemnly to the moon slave, "Follow me at any time, you can reach your ears with your hand, and you must not leave half a step!" Don't just say a word! β
"Yes! I keep my mouth shut too! Yue Nu agreed decisively, and immediately pulled a piece of cloth to wrap his mouth, and wrapped it very tightly and firmly.
In Xue Shao's mind, there has always been a clock that never stops. He knew that it was about two o'clock in the morning, and in another hour or two, it would be the time when people were most physically sleepy and engaged in deep sleep. Even the dogs who take care of the home are at their lowest level of vigilance.
"Nine to twelve fire guards, all check the tinder, there must be no mistakes!" Xue Shao waved his hand, "Everyone sealed my mouth, I was not even allowed to cough, and I started to prepare!" - After counting to thirty in my heart, all of them will lurk with me! β
Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen watched Xue Shao and his party quietly disappear into the night, their expressions were grim.
Now they understand that Xue Shao took the people of the Third Brigade to practice those things that seemed to have nothing to do with "Yue Cai". Now, all the men of the Third Brigade have super physical strength and will, and they all have extremely strong individual combat ability, whether it is infantry combat or immediate combat. 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. Xue Shao even taught them a lot of sign language and code codes, which were used to communicate behind enemy lines.
In Xue Shao's words, "It is better to prepare for the rain and dig a well without thirst." If you are going to use 10 points on the battlefield, then you must usually practice 12 points, and you must practice everything to the level of 12 points! β
Now it turns out that Xue Shao's philosophy is completely correct; Many of the things he taught that "had nothing to do with Yue Qi" came in handy. Even such a tiny detail as "Golden Sleep" allowed the guards of the Third Brigade to quickly recover their energy and physical strength after a thousand-mile run. Otherwise, the reaction speed of the bodies and brains of more than 100 people will definitely be far less than usual, and a slight distraction or dozing off may lead to failure and kill everyone!
"Twelve points", this may be the confidence of Xue Shao to dare to bring the hundred recruits he trained to attack the black sand!
An hour later.
Xue Shao and Yuenu lay side by side in front of a tent, and not far in front of them, there were four Turkic soldiers dozing around a large fire, snoring and snoring, and there were no hounds nearby.
Xue Shao has been in the special warfare industry for so many years, dodging and dealing with military dogs, which is the ability to watch the family. These skills were all taught to the recruits without reservation.
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.
Xue Shao gestured to Yuenubi, signaling her to clean up the two Turkic soldiers on the left as quickly as possible, and he would deal with the remaining two. It must be done quietly and as quickly as possible, and then pick up the tinder from the fire and light the tent.
The moon slave nodded knowingly, and slowly took out the "tiger tooth saber" that Xue Shao gave her.
After Xue Shao arrived in Shuozhou, he asked the blacksmith in the army to create a lot of tiger tooth sabers suitable for hidden reconnaissance and assassination fighting!
Xue Shao raised his hand, and the two of them flew out of the shadows like two flying arrows at the same time, and the Huya Saber made its official debut for the first time in Datang, and in one second, it cut the necks of four Turks!
Xue Shao and Yuenu were very neat, and the Turkic soldiers didn't even know how they died, and their bodies twitched, and the blood between their necks was like spray. Immediately, the two of them set fire to the tarpaulin stained with the oil of the march, threw them at several large tents nearby, and then hid them.
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. Xue Shao and Yue Nu hid in the darkness without being frightened, slowly lurking and moving, killing three disheveled Turks who rushed out 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. These guards under Xue Shao are very tricky, picking those places that are easy to be ignited and there are many livestock to light fires. The livestock rations stored by the Turks, the grain looted from the cities of the Central Plains, and a large amount of wool and cowhides, were 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. Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu, who were a little farther away, were also nervous, and they were repeating the military orders issued by Xue Shao in their minds almost word by word, waiting for them!
Xue Shao and Yuenu 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.
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 were not good at this kind of local assassination-style combat. Xue Shao and Yue Nu have given full play to the advantages of super personal martial arts and very small goals, they will never work hard, they can hide as much as possible, and they will kill with one blow, and they will slip into the dark after killing, and set fire when they have the opportunity!
The tooth tents of the Turks look like barracks, but they are not real barracks after all. Except for the khan's royal tent, where a group of personal guards were often stationed near the king's tent to guard them, the other tents were all stragglers who lived "as herds in leisure time and soldiers in wartime". In a hurry, it was difficult for these stragglers to form a combination and annihilation of "masters" like Xue Shao and Yuenu, and the two of them were like two real hungry wolves rushing into the flock of sheep and being unstoppable, lighting countless tents!
The situation was mostly the same for the other Tang troops who were lurking and setting fires separately. Xue Shao judged the situation and let them avoid igniting a fire near the tooth tent, the purpose was to prevent them from falling into the encirclement and annihilation of the large group 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 quickly assembled, and surrounded the tooth tent with three layers inside and three layers outside, so that it was not leaky!
Xue Chuyu personally lurked in the peripheral position closest to the tooth tent, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he had to admire Xue Shao in his heart! ββJudging the situation and anticipating the enemy's opportunities, 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 near the tooth tent of the Chinese army were non-stop, Xue Chuyu paid attention to every move there, and more and more Turkic cavalry were rushing towards the tooth tent.
Compared with the fire of the "private house", the safety of the tooth tent is of course the most important. When things happen at night, the first reaction of the Turks is to concentrate on protecting the tooth tent. Even if their own tents were set on fire, the Turkic soldiers hurried to the tents of the Chinese army first.
Xue Shao and the others accepted it when they saw it, and when they came in, everyone chose a way out 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 Xue Shao and Yuenu, who had a partner, the others were all 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, and now they don't even have time to think about sadness in their minds, and they will soon carry out the most important plan! - Raid the Tooth Tent!
Next, it's time for the Turks to put out the fire. There was nothing wrong with concentrating their efforts to protect the tooth tent, but once they found that there were no large number of enemy troops coming, their tent still had to fight the fire, and it contained all the belongings of every Turk!
Everything was as Xue Shao expected, and the Turks sent a group of soldiers and horses to guard the entrances to the tent to strictly guard against the invasion of the enemy. Then, the Turkic soldiers, who had been quickly assembled in the center of the tent, quickly scattered in all directions to fight the fire.
There are about 500 people left, still guarding the tall and conspicuous Khan's tent!
"The time has come!"
A fine light bloomed in Xue Chuyu's eyes, "All of you get on the horse, follow me to kill the tooth tent, and capture the enemy chief alive!" β
As soon as he flew up, Xue Chuyu rushed towards the door of the Turks' tent as a soldier!
The Turkic soldiers, who were guarding several layers inside and outside the door, vaguely noticed that horses were running in the darkness, and immediately collectively put their bows on the strings, and pulled the bows and arrows to the bone.
"Who?" The Turkic soldier on the sentry tower asked loudly in Turkic.
Where will Xue Chuyu take care of it, even the people and horses rushed over directly like lightning, and the halberd fell in his hand, and he cut off two good heads first!
The Turkic soldiers suddenly exclaimed loudly, it is not easy to release arrows now, lest they hurt their own people. So they waved their knives and slashed at Xue Chuyu. Xue Chuyu didn't fight with him at all, and rushed directly towards the khan's royal tent as soon as he rode like a fly.
"Defend the king's tent!" The Turkic soldiers guarding the Chinese army noticed the situation here and shouted loudly.
The forty Tang soldiers behind Xue Chuyu rushed into the tent like wolves charging into battle with the wolf king, like thunder and thunder. Like Xue Chuyu, they never fell in love with war, and used the impact of the cavalry to catch the other party off guard, and rushed straight into the sweat tent like a sharp knife!
The five hundred sweat tent guards surrounded the sweat tent like an iron bucket, and five hundred black arrows were aimed at Xue Chuyu and the Tang army soldiers behind him.
Guarding the sweat tent is the first priority of these people, and they are not afraid of accidentally hurting their own people.
Suddenly, arrows rained down!
The Fang Tian painting halberd in Xue Chuyu's hand flew up, blocking countless arrows like a light curtain, and with a loud shout, even people and horses soared into the air, like a god descending to earth, killing into the enemy group!
