Chapter 195: Night Attack on Bogdaqin

The night is gentle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a day of hustle and bustle, the city of Bogdaqin was quiet.

Bogdaqin City, which had not experienced a war for 25 years, was extremely lax in defense, completely unaware that tens of thousands of troops of the Tang Army had surrounded it from all sides.

During the day, the gates of the castle were guarded by soldiers, but they did not check the crowds entering and exiting. Zhao Dashan and the others easily blended into the city.

The gates of Bogdaqin City are also closed at night, but only the city walls are guarded by troops near the gates, and most of the city walls are empty.

In ancient times, the city wall was built with many steps to make it easier for soldiers to climb and defend. Zhao Dashan and the others also easily climbed the city wall.

As agreed, they sent a signal on the city wall, and more than 300 Tang troops who knew how to water quietly came to the moat, and with the response of the special combat team, they swam across the moat, and then climbed the city wall.

Zhao Dashan took these Tang soldiers into two routes, all the way from the city wall, all the way from the city, and went straight to the West Gate.

At this moment, Su Dingfang's troops were ambushing in the field about 300 meters outside the West Gate, the mouths of the war horses were strangled with strips of cloth, the hooves of the war horses were also covered, and tens of thousands of people and horses were almost silent.

Zhao Dashan and the others approached the southwest gate.

The defenders of the southwest gate had a total of 50 men, and only 5 soldiers were on duty at night, and they rotated every two hours.

Just when Zhao Dashan and the others approached the city tower from the city wall, the sentry guarding the gate of Yanqi discovered them, but it was too late. The Tang army shot a burst of crossbows, killing three sentries on the spot, and the remaining two sentries only let out a short shout before being hacked to death by the Tang army who rushed over.

The Tang army, which passed from the city, rushed into the barracks by the city gate and killed all the sleeping guards inside. Then the gates were opened.

Zhao Dashan lowered the drawbridge while raising fire, sending a signal to the Tang army outside the city.

Su Dingfang saw that the city gate was successful, and immediately got on his horse and rushed into the city gate first. Ten thousand Tang troops followed, galloping over.

At a distance of 300 meters, for the cavalry, it was only a matter of an eye, and the army quickly entered the city of Bogdaqin.

Entering the city, Su Dingfang sent 1,000 cavalry to attack the southeast city gate, Su Dingfang led 6,000 people to attack the Yanqi military camp, and the deputy general took the rest of the troops to attack the Yanqi Palace.

Su Dingfang rushed to the Yanqi barracks with 6,000 men and horses and immediately began to attack. He originally thought that with 6,000 men and horses, it would be a matter of hand-holding to raid the 2,500-man unsuspecting Yanqi army. Unexpectedly, he was met with fierce resistance.

It turned out that tomorrow was the day when the Yanqi army would be paid, and the quartermaster had already received his salary, so he was waiting for it to be paid tomorrow.

?? The quartermaster got up in the middle of the night to find that there was a lot of money missing, and hurriedly reported to the auxiliary state Hou Long Xiaolin. Long Xiaolin is the eldest son of the king of the Dragon Turf Cavalry Branch, and is the commander of the army.

Long Xiaolin discussed with several generals and thought that it was the thief, so he gathered all the troops and thoroughly checked the barracks. So they didn't sleep at this time. When they heard the movement outside, they immediately organized resistance.

Long Xiaolin, like his younger brother, has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he and several of his generals personally rushed to the front, effectively blocking Su Dingfang's army from the camp gate. Seeing this, Su Dingfang ordered the troops to attack from all sides, each chose a breakthrough, and personally led people to attack.

Su Dingfang stepped forward and first stabbed to death a Yanqi army general. Long Xiaolin saw Su Dingfang's bravery, and hurriedly came to meet Su Dingfang in person. After Su Dingfang fought with him a few times, he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that the little Yanqi would have such a powerful general. I can't help but put on the afterburner.

The pain in Long Xiaolin's heart was even worse, and he said in his heart: "My martial arts are already difficult to meet opponents, but I didn't expect the other party to be higher than myself." ”

Although the Yanqi army was brave, Su Dingfang's army was too much, and they gradually couldn't resist it. At this time, the Tang army dug holes through the walls everywhere and attacked the Yanqi military camp.

Long Xiaolin began to suffer from the enemy on his back, and he was retreating, his subordinates slowed down, Su Dingfang saw this, and his subordinates were even more strengthened, Long Xiaolin couldn't resist it, flashed a shot, and dodged in the crowd.

Although Su Dingfang didn't know his true identity, he was sure that he was an important person, who was willing to let him go, rose up and stabbed Long Xiaolin in the thigh with a shot, and several Tang soldiers stepped forward to capture him alive.

When the Yanqi army saw that Long Xiaolin was captured alive, they became even more panicked and soon surrendered.

The men and horses of the adjutant general of the Tang army are attacking the palace.

Such a large-scale troop operation has already alarmed the guards of the royal palace. The king dragon tuqi woke up from his dream, heard the shouting and killing outside, and began to think that it was a dream, and then thought that it was a riot of some tribe in the country, and was about to send someone to call his youngest son Long Xiaoming to lead the troops to suppress it. A guard came in in a hurry outside, and the report said: "King, it's not good, the Tang army has come in, and there are tens of thousands of men and horses." ”

The walls of the palace were so high that it was impossible to climb and could only be accessed through the gates. Inside the palace were 300 palace guards, who climbed the wall and fired arrows downward. Inflicted considerable losses on the attacking men and horses.

Before entering the city, the king of Liang, Li Su, demanded that the king and the royal family members be captured alive as much as possible, so the lieutenant general ordered the attack to be stopped, and shouted for the dragon turquoise cavalry to surrender.

Soon, Su Dingfang escorted Long Xiaolin over.

Long Xiaolin had already received a guarantee from Su Dingfang that as long as the king surrendered, Datang would guarantee their net worth, life and political status. After Long Xiaolin's shout, the Dragon Turf Cavalry Branch surrendered.

At this time, tens of thousands of Tang troops had fully controlled the entire Bogdaqin City. In each street, Tang soldiers shouted with iron horns, telling all residents not to go out into the streets, in case they were accidentally injured.

Su Dingfang asked the dragon to give the order, and let his two sons go out of the city overnight to recruit the Yanqi army in other places.

The army of the Tiele tribe did not enter the city, and they set up a guard on the border from Yanqi to Gaochang to prevent some Yanqi people from fleeing to Gaochang to leak the news.

Before dawn, Li Su, the king of Liang, entered the palace of Yanqi Wang.

Su Dingfang reported the situation, and he said: "Your Highness, the progress is going well, the entire territory of Yanqi has been controlled, and except for part of the Yanqi army, there are basically no casualties among the civilians. The casualties of our troops are even smaller, and so far less than 300 have been reported. ”

This was the first time for Li Su to participate in such a big operation as a commander, and seeing such a result, his heart relaxed, and he said excitedly: "General Su, great, your command is right, the whole operation is perfect." ”

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't praise it, there are less than 30,000 men, women, and children in the entire Yanqi country, and if my 40,000 army can't be defeated, I won't have the face to see people." ”

Then, he asked, "What's next?" ”
