Chapter 43: Attack on the Camp

At dusk, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to send a detailed message to Tuoyunbao, and the Tuqi Shi people had indeed camped on the south bank of Qingshui Lake, and sent rangers to investigate everywhere.

As soon as Xi Yunqing finished listening to the knight who came to report the news, a soldier outside hurriedly ran in and said, "Fort master, the turquoise cavalry is here, there are about three hundred horsemen, and they are calling for battle under the castle gate!" ”

"Quick, follow me up to the castle!"

With a few people to the city tower, Xi Yunqing walked to the edge of the parapet and looked down, there was smoke and dust under the city tower, and hundreds of turist cavalry and cavalry were scattered in front of the city tower.

A man with a wolfskin hat and a sheepskin mattress wrapped in a horseskin mattress galloped to the city tower and scolded: "Hey, the people on the city tower listen, quickly open the gate of the fort and surrender, I will spare your dog's life, otherwise when I capture Tuoyun Fort, you will be killed!" ”

When the soldiers on the city tower heard this, they were immediately furious, shouting and scolding, Zhao Chongxuan's face turned blue with anger, and he arched his hand to Xi Yunqing: "Castle master, that guy is really hateful, wait for me to go down and behead him!" ”

"Wait!" Xi Yunqing immediately stopped, "These barbarians are not good at attacking the city, they are worried that there is no way to open the fort gate, if I wait to open the fort gate, they will come in from taking advantage of the situation, then I will be finished!" ”

Zhao Chongxuan also knew that what Xi Yunqing said made sense, and he said: "It's just that this guy is too deceitful, I can't swallow this evil breath!" ”

Xi Yunqing waved his hand and said: "At this time, we must not be rash, we are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, and going out of the city to fight with these barbarians is tantamount to giving up our strengths and using our weaknesses to fight the enemy, this is unwise!" ”

After speaking, Xi Yunqing said to Panzhu Junxiu next to him: "What does the general think?" ”

Panzhu Junxiu said: "The castle is now full of infantry, isn't it looking for death when you go out of the city to fight these barbarians?" According to General Ben, it is better to wait for reinforcements to come before thinking about going out of the city for field battles, and now we still have peace of mind to defend the city! ”

"Yes!" Xi Yunqing said a word, remembering the messenger sent out last night, he clapped his palms and said worriedly: "The messenger sent to ask General Fumeng for help set off last night, and it stands to reason that he should have rushed back a long time ago, why didn't he turn back?" Whether the letter for help has been delivered to General Fumeng, and how the general will deal with it, I don't know anything! ”

Panzhu Junxiu said: "Lord Xibao, I think it's better to send messengers to Shule Town again, once those barbarians have completed the siege equipment, with our little strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for long!" ”

There are less than 400 people in the fort, and the other party has more than 3,000 people, the difference in strength is too great, if the opponent's siege equipment is complete, I am afraid that the city wall can be attacked in one round, but fortunately, there is only one city wall facing the enemy, and the city wall that can be attacked by the Tirchashi people is not long, Xi Yunqing can concentrate his troops relatively on defense.

"Alright, I'll send another messenger for help!"

······

Big Lonely Mountain, Cave.

Zhao Ziliang and others hid in the cave, and there were bursts of noise on the top of the cave.

"Deputy Fort Lord, it looks like the Turks' rangers are smashing our beacon!"

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "It should be!" It doesn't matter, we are still some distance from the top of the mountain, the cave will not collapse, let the brothers rest, sleep if you want to sleep, and if you can't sleep, you can talk, but not loudly! ”

"No!"

At nightfall, after dinner, Zhao Ziliang took a few scouts out of the cave and quietly touched the vicinity of the camp of the Tuqi Shi people by Qingshui Lake.

After observing for a while, Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "The precautions are too strict, the terrain here is flat, you can see ten miles away at a glance, and the calculation is that it will not achieve the effect of a surprise attack at night, as long as our brigade of people and horses enters within five miles, it will be discovered!" ”

Huo Kan, who was following him, asked, "Then what should we do?" You can't just watch them attack Toyun Castle, right? ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "What can I do then?" Our troops are too small, mainly the terrain here is not conducive to sneak attacks, even when they attack Toyun Fort, if they are lax, we can sneak attack their rear, but if they are surrounded by rangers, we also have a good chance of sneaking up from behind to be detected before they enter the attack range, and they have plenty of time to deal with it! We can only wait for the opportunity now, and we must not attack until there is a suitable opportunity, otherwise we can only be sent to death! ”

On the morning of the second day, after eating and drinking, the Turgish people carried dozens of siege ladders built overnight last night, and set out to Tuoyun Fort, and the Tang Army scouts who had been monitoring the Turgish camp quickly discovered the situation and quickly reported to Zhao Ziliang.

"What? You say that the Turgish people poured out of the nest? After listening to the report, Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened.

"Yes! ”

"And how many people are there in their camp?"

"Three or four hundred, less than four hundred!"

Zhao Ziliang thought about it, punched the cave wall, got up and said in a deep voice: "Wei Meng, Huo Kan!" ”

"In!"

"The whole army is assembled, let's go and attack the camp of the Turks!"

The two were shocked, and Huo Kan said: "Deputy Castle Master, didn't you say last night that place is not suitable for sneak attacks?" Before we get closer, they will find that it will be a tough battle! ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Even if it's a tough battle, you have to fight!" Think about it, why did the Turgish come out of the nest? I guess they must want to fight and go to Tuoyun Fort, after all, they don't have much time, the distance between Tuoyun Fort and Shule Town is not far, the time drags on, Shule Town will definitely send a large army to help, so they are more anxious than us! I didn't think there would be a chance to sneak attack, but I didn't expect the Turgish to be so impatient, as long as we destroy their camp and kill all their cattle and sheep before they attack the head of Toyunburg, they will definitely come back to help, and then Toyunbao will be saved! ”

"yes, that's it!" Wei Meng and Huo Kan were greatly excited after listening to Zhao Ziliang's analysis.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ziliang left ten people to guard the cave, and his 180 cavalry assembled at the foot of Dagu Mountain, and quickly rushed towards the camp of the Qingshui Lake Tucai Shi people.

Dagu Mountain is only seven or eight miles away from the south bank of Qingshui Lake, Zhao Ziliang and others quickly arrived, and when they were three miles away from the Turgish camp, the Turgish people in the camp found them.

The nomads had never had a concept of defense militarily, and the camp was extremely rudimentary, with no walls at all, only a few horses and a large number of tents.

The remaining 400 cavalry cavalry in the camp reacted very quickly, and quickly organized some men and horses outside the camp before Zhao Ziliang led his troops to rush over.

"Release the arrow-" Zhao Ziliang roared, and the arrow in his hand shot out.

"Whoosh ······"

"Ahh······hh

Before the Turgish cavalry assembled outside the camp could run, they were shot down by Zhao Ziliang and others who rushed to the front with arrows in succession, and arrows kept flying in the sky, and some people among the Turgish people kept falling.

"Oh hello······ Wow ······" The Tuqi Shi people finally rode their horses to meet them, and some Tuqi Shi cavalry began to fire arrows at Zhao Ziliang and others who rushed on the opposite side.

Bows were very troublesome to make, not all of the Turgish cavalry had bows and arrows, many of them only had weapons and no bows and arrows, and these people rushed out of the camp to meet the enemy, most of them only brought weapons and not bows and arrows, so this photo suffered a big loss.

The team of 400 people, before they made contact, lost about half of them under the rain of three or four arrows.

"Give me death-" Zhao Ziliang, who rushed to the front of the Tucai cavalry, raised his horse lance and shook it a few times in a row, and several people were stabbed to death, his horse lance kept stabbing left and right, slashing up and down, and the Tuqi Shi cavalry in front of him were all picked up and dismounted by him.

Blood kept splashing on his face and body, Zhao Ziliang didn't care, the horse lance in his hand kept harvesting the lives of the Tuqi Shi people, and the person opposite was split in half by him, and the blood sprayed on him, turning him into a bloody man.

"Roar—kill!"

Zhao Ziliang was covered in blood, and his combat effectiveness was too strong, he killed dozens of people in the blink of an eye, and many of the commandos were frightened by him, their morale plummeted, and their combat effectiveness also declined rapidly.

After the two sides stuck together, the scene was extremely chaotic, because there was a camp and Qingshui Lake behind them, Zhao Ziliang and the others had no room to maneuver on their horses, and after rushing over, they fought with the Tuqi Shi people.

Screams, screams, and the clashing of weapons make up the most desolate symphony on the battlefield.

After half an hour of fighting, more than 300 of the 400 Turks who were guarding the camp were killed, and dozens of people were left to flee, and more than 80 people were killed on Zhao Ziliang's side, which mainly played the role of a surprise attack, and the Turks did not expect that there was a Tang army hidden in this bare vicinity, if there were a thousand people in the camp, Zhao Ziliang would not dare to launch a sneak attack, and the enemy's combat power was completely different!

Zhao Ziliang gasped, wiped the blood stains on his face, and then ordered: "Quickly, shoot all the cattle and sheep in the camp, and burn all the tents!" ”

"No!"
