Chapter 899: A Sneak Attack

The troops retreated, and both sides retreated to their respective camps.

After the Western Turkic soldiers returned to the camp, they frantically ate, drank or rested to release their pressure, but everyone had more or less heavy expressions on their faces, and the battle with the Tang army could be said to have made them suffer. Obviously, there are only a few thousand, more than 10,000 people, but they stubbornly resist their attacks again and again.

They have nine times as many troops! The other party actually resisted head-on! I carried it for four days! How not to shock and scare them?

They are indeed warriors on the grassland, fearless and fearless, but since they fought with the Tang army, they suddenly realized that it seems that the glory of the past is nothing in front of their enemies! Tang Jun, who looks weak, is the real horror!

It is unimaginable, what did Tang Jun rely on to fight against himself for so long?

If at the beginning the Tang army had an advanced weapon, Thunderbolt, which could inflict mass casualties on them, then the Tang army in the later battles hardly used Thunderbolt.

Everyone is a knife and a gun, you come and go. Even so, they paid several times the price of casualties and still did not take the Tang army.

The arrogant Western Turkic soldiers suddenly had doubts about their combat effectiveness. What scared them even more was that this Tang Army soldier was obviously a vanguard force. If the main force of the Tang Army comes, how can they still fight? I'm afraid I can't play it, right?

Desire Valley set up a walk around the camp, found that the soldiers were demoralized, couldn't help but be annoyed, and scolded: "Just a few Tang soldiers scared you like this, what kind of system?" Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! Hum! ”

Not long after the Desire Valley set left, the soldiers received an order to let them rest well, and they would launch a general attack on the Tang army on the top of the mountain at night, so be sure to keep their spirits up, if someone dropped the chain, they would be killed on the spot!

After receiving the order, the soldiers silently got up and went to the camp to rest.

The Tang army on the hillside also received the same order, most of the soldiers went to sleep and rest after repairing the earthen wall, and prepared for the night attack, and a small number of soldiers were responsible for guarding.

In addition, the generals of the Tang army gathered on the sentry tower, took out their binoculars and observed the camp of the Western Turks at the foot of the mountain, and they were studying the plan for a sneak attack at night.

"General, you see, most of the horses of the Western Turkic soldiers are concentrated in the rear of the camp, and they have not sent soldiers and horses to defend, if we go to the rear and throw a few thunderbolts, so that the opponent's horses are frightened and flee, we will take the opportunity to snatch the horses, maybe we will have a chance!"

Hou Junji looked in the direction of the general's finger, and sure enough, he saw that the Western Turks placed most of their horses at the rear of the camp, and the guards were extremely lax.

Probably the Western Turks did not expect that the Tang army, which was besieged by them in the mountains, would bypass the camp and attack the horses behind their camp.

They didn't expect that the Tang Army still had more than 100 thunderbolts hidden and had not been used. I thought that the thunderbolts of the Tang Army had been consumed.

"The defense is so bad, it's sorry for their sparse guards if they don't sneak up on their stables!" Hou Junji sneered a few times, and already had an idea in his heart.

"Han Feng! Zhang Shicheng! ”

"The last general!"

"The two of you will each lead a thousand men around the left and right sides of the Western Turk camp and stand by, always paying attention to the movement behind the camp! Ben personally led 3,000 soldiers around the rear and snatched the horses. If Ben will be discovered at this time, there is a movement behind you, you wait to throw the thunderbolt fire in your hand to attract the other party's attention, and wait until Ben will successfully snatch the war horse, throw out the thunderbolt, and quickly go to the back stable to join us! Let's fight our way east! ”

"Yes!" "The last general obeys!"

"Okay, if you don't have any doubts, then go back and rest now, get up at three o'clock, go around the mountain and prepare to attack!"

"Yes!" The generals dispersed one after another, and Hou Junji stood on the sentry tower and looked at the enemy's camp for a long time, exhaled a long breath, calmed down slightly, and went down the sentry tower to rest.

The winners and losers will be known tonight!

During the day, the camps on both sides were quiet, and after nightfall, there was no movement in the camps on both sides, and it was surprisingly quiet. Brought to the west of the moon, the camp of the Tang army had a faint movement.

"Get up! It's time to get up! Hurry up! Be quiet! "There were soldiers who slapped the sleeping soldiers and whispered to wake them up.

It was obviously not the first time that the Tang army had done such a sneaky thing at night, everyone seemed to be accustomed to it, and they didn't even panic, and the soldiers methodically put on their armor and weapons in the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, and packed their luggage and carried it on their backs.

Afterwards, the soldiers gathered in the camp outside for a short time, and the group commanders confirmed the number, and the soldiers were led by their respective group commanders to follow the leading general down in three directions.

The camp on the top of the hill left nothing but a few abandoned items.

In order not to be discovered by the Western Turkic soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the Tang army made a special detour, first walked to the top of the mountain for a while, bypassed the camp of the Western Turks and then descended the mountain, perfectly avoiding the detection and ...... of the Western Turks They sent out a sneak attack force!

When the Tang army secretly parted ways and went to the Western Turkic camp at the foot of the mountain, about half an hour later, the Tang army had just lurked at the foot of the mountain, and there was still some distance from both sides of the Western Turkic camp. At this time, there was also a hint of movement in the dark camp of the Western Turks.

There was not much movement, and the Tang army was too far away to notice the movement in the Western Turkic camp.

About 10,000 Western Turkic soldiers left the camp, followed the example of the Tang army, secretly bypassed a little distance, and went from the mountains in two ways. There are also about more than 10,000 people in the camp leading horses and standing by, ready to kill at any time and pursue the Tang army.

The Western Turks who went up the mountain were afraid that the horses would walk too loudly, so they did not ride horses, and chose to go up the mountain on foot, in addition to bringing weapons, they also prepared large barrels of butter and sheep fat, trying to follow the example of the Tang army and attack the camp with fire, but they did not realize that the top of the mountain was already an empty camp.

Looking at the bottom of the mountain, in the Western Turkic camp, except for the 10,000 soldiers who were ready to go, the rest of the soldiers were sleeping.

In fact, the horses of the Western Turkic soldiers were not always kept in the stables, but they would also tie their horses outside the tents. Basically, each horse outside the tent is a horse, which is used to escape alive in case of emergency, and the stable is kept as a spare horse.

Generally, when cavalry goes into battle, they will never bring only one war horse, otherwise the distance of running will be long, the horse's endurance will decrease, and you will lose your combat effectiveness before you reach the battlefield. Therefore, cavalry usually brings two horses as a backup, and can change horses halfway to ensure the best condition.

Therefore, the Tang army's sneak attack this time did not have the luxury of leaving the Western Turks without horses, as long as their spare war horses were damaged, their goal was achieved.

The Western Turks had already touched the top of the mountain, and the three detachments of the Don army were already lurking in place.

The dawn before dawn is not destined to be peaceful!
