Chapter 140: Fire and Hell

Late at night on July 26 in the first year of Tang Xianheng.

The weather was not very good on this day, with haze and a roaring north wind. However, as the so-called moon dark killing night, the wind is high and the day of fire, which is the best season for the Tang army to set fires.

Under the cover of night, Li Xian and his army ambushed outside the Tubo camp early, just waiting for the camp to catch fire, and then strictly defended to prevent the enemy from escaping easily.

The main person in charge of arson was the 300 elites led by Li Xian's general Zhang Yu, all of whom were carrying fierce fire oil and flint fire sickles, etc., at the same time, these 300 people and another 100 people were escorted with torches, but the soldiers with torches for lighting could not be too close to the soldiers with fire oil, so as not to accidentally cause a fire, resulting in not hurting the enemy but hurting their own bodies.

At this time, the camp of the Tubo army was silent, and even the soldiers in charge of the sentry posts and patrols were a little drowsy, because the number of their army was more than ten times more than that of the Tang army, and they had always been on the side of the active attack.

What's more, in order to deal with the enemy's robbery of the camp, Tubo also laid a strict defense and guard post on the periphery of the camp, and it is believed that it is difficult for the Tang army to fly into the middle of the Tubo camp even if it has wings.

But Zampa missed a point, that is, the Tang army will dig tunnels to attack, but in fact, it can't be said that it is missed, because in Zanpo's view, the Tang army will definitely not do stupid things such as digging tunnels to attack, after all, the movement of digging tunnels is so big, they will not be unaware, besides, the Tang army has not entered their camp, how to know the distribution of their camps, the way they take to camp is unique to Zanpo's brother Garqinling, which is very different from the Tang Dynasty, if they really dig tunnels according to the distribution of the Tang Dynasty camps, I believe that I will definitely fall into the trap of Tibet.

What's more, even if Tang Jun comes in, what can he do? Not to mention that the main camp tent is heavily defended, even if there is an army of 10,000 people, it is difficult to attack it for a while, plus the main force of the Tubo army has 50,000 or 60,000 distributed on the periphery, as long as there is a change in the inner layer, it will immediately go to help, no matter how many people come to the Tang army, there will definitely be no return.

But it's a pity that Zampa didn't know that Li Xian had already come to his military camp to investigate, and he already knew everything about the deployment of Tubo's camp defense, coupled with Li Xian's magical ability to discern the direction from the ground, as well as the use of super ignition tools fierce fire oil, which doomed the tragedy of the Tubo army.

The fire was first ignited from the baggage camp, and Zhang Yu, who was responsible for the task of burning the enemy camp, personally led several soldiers to walk out of the tunnels inside the baggage camp, and then called for fierce fire oil and lit the first fire.

Of course, as soon as the ignition was successful, Zhang Yu fled along the tunnel.

The fire in the baggage camp naturally alarmed the entire Tubo camp, and everyone ran desperately in the direction of the baggage camp, still holding water utensils in their hands, and filling those water utensils with water, with only one purpose, that is, to fight the fire.

Because the grain and grass stored in the baggage camp is the most important guarantee for their army to be able to support, without the grain and grass baggage, even a steel hero has no choice but to retreat in the end, after all, people have to eat, horses have to eat grass.

As soon as he heard that the camp was on fire, he became furious, and at first he thought that it was caused by the soldiers of the patrol, so he ordered the soldiers of the camp to be severely punished and immediately beheaded.

But soon he received the news that the patrol soldiers had already died in the flames.

Now that his injuries have stabilized, he believes that as long as he rests for a few more days, he can lead his troops to fight again, and when the time comes, he will definitely learn a lesson, and surround the Tang army camp as before, and attack day and night, if he does this, he promises to capture the Tang army camp within a few days and kill the cunning and hateful Tang army.

It's just a pity that with the fire in the baggage camp, his plan may suffer a major setback.

"It seems that only by waiting until dawn, I drag my injured body and immediately launch an attack on the Tang army, so that it may be possible to capture the Tang camp before our army runs out of food and alleviate the situation, well, this is the so-called Tang people's plan to break the cauldron and fight against the water, I believe that in the face of the threat of hunger and death, our soldiers will definitely fight bravely and attack the enemy camp desperately, so that they can easily take the Tang army camp and complete my mission easily and smoothly."

Zanpo closed her eyes and was carefully planning various strategies for tomorrow's battle.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sergeant come to report: "General, the big thing is not good, the fire in the baggage camp is very urgent, and it is difficult to control it at all, and in addition, the camps of our army are on fire everywhere, the fire is fierce, spreading everywhere, and the entire camp has become a sea of fire, general, the situation is critical, I am afraid it is irreparable, we should retreat immediately." ”

"You, what do you say? Camps are on fire everywhere? Is this possible? Unless someone deliberately set fire, a good Tang thief Li Xian, this must have been manipulated by that guy, but I don't know what kind of means that guy has, and he can hide from the sky and cross the sea, I don't know if he came to my camp, and wantonly set fire? ”

Zampa thought for a while, and then ordered: "The soldiers stationed everywhere must not panic, especially the outer garrisons, but also form a formation to strictly defend to the death, be careful of the enemy taking advantage of the fire to rob, the inner soldiers continue to take water in an orderly manner to extinguish the fire, I believe that the so-called sea of fire is just a means to deter people's hearts, and it does not have much power in itself, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to extinguish this fire......

But before the herald could go down to give the order, another sergeant ran over. shouted loudly: "General, something is wrong, the fire cannot be extinguished at all, to this day, most of our military camp has been burned down, thousands of soldiers have been burned to death and burned, and the military horse camp is also on fire, the war horses are running around in fright, many soldiers are trampled to death and injured by the war horses, and even the soldiers stationed on the periphery have begun to mess up." Also, the fire is still spreading, and it is less than a hundred steps away from the general's main tent, and it will be burned here in about a quarter of an hour, so general, it is better to go quickly, so as not to be buried in the fire......"

"Huh? What do you say? What is the situation with this fire that is not only difficult to extinguish, but also spreading? How could there be such a stubborn fire? Also, all the horses fled? How many soldiers were burned to death? This, how can this be? How good is that? ”

After hearing so much news in a row, even Zan Po felt a little unbearable, her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, her body staggered for a while, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by the soldiers who were quick to see it.

At this time, I heard a general running over and said loudly: "General, the last general has already investigated clearly, no wonder the fire is so fierce, grandma's, they used fierce fire oil, and the whole two thousand catties of fierce fire oil were poured all over the camp, like this kind of fire, the soldiers can't extinguish it at all when they get water......

When she heard this, her face became even more ugly, but at this moment, another sergeant came to report, "General, it's not good, the fire has come to the front of the camp, go quickly." ”

When Zanpo heard this, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but he was surrounded by the subordinates and helped him away, and hurriedly walked out.

And when he barely supported his injured body and came to the tent, what appeared in front of him was a miserable scene like hell on earth: in the vast sea of fire, there were countless terrible screams, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and the stench was overwhelming, and the surrounding soldiers all vomited, and even the generals like Zanpo, who were used to seeing killing scenes, couldn't help but vomit wildly, and in the end, even the bile was dried.

"There are fires all around, where do I get out of here?" Looking at this sea of fire, Zanpo couldn't help but hesitate, especially at this time, his tent was finally swallowed by the sea of fire, and his heart became even more depressed.

"General, the fire in the leeward is smaller, and we can pass through here." At this moment, the general Mang Songchi pointed not far in front and said.

Zanpo looked in the direction of Mangsong's red finger, and his eyes lit up, because he saw that there was indeed a smaller one, and if he ran out as fast as he could, he should be able to break out of the camp.

At this time, saving her life was crucial, and Zanpo didn't care if there was an ambush outside the sea of fire, so she immediately led hundreds of soldiers under her command and fled from the direction pointed by Mang Songchi.

It can be said that Zampo is lucky, because the place he chose to escape is one of the camps that just caught fire, because the fierce fire oil has burned almost, so the fire is gradually getting smaller, which allows him to smoothly cross the sea of fire and come to the periphery of the camp, and at the same time there are more soldiers around him, and a rough calculation shows that there should be more than 10,000 soldiers gathered around him now.

But Zampo can be regarded as unfortunate, because according to the reports of the soldiers gathered, the soldiers everywhere have died, some were burned to death, some were trampled to death by horses, and some were killed by their own people because they blocked the way for the escape of the robe behind them.

"I didn't expect my 200,000 army to be overturned like this, Li Xianxiao'er, you wait for me, I will definitely take revenge for this big revenge." Zanpo, who escaped from the camp, silently looked at the 10,000 Tubo soldiers who had lost their armor and were scarred, and said through gritted teeth.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound behind him, Zan Po looked back in horror, and saw that it was the Tang Army covering up behind, and at this time, Zan Po no longer had the heroism when he said that he wanted to find Li Xian to take revenge, and immediately led the soldiers to flee frantically.

"Kill! Haha, Zanpo rebel, today you are in my place, you are already wings and cannot escape, this will be chased to the edge of the sky, but also to capture and kill you, in order to repay the hatred of the Turkic warriors who ambushed me before! Ashina Daozhen led two thousand Turkic cavalry and chased in the direction of Zanpo like a lightning speed.

Seeing this, Zanpo couldn't help but feel like a dead soul, and fled even more desperately, but just when he ran for more than ten miles, seeing that Ashina's real army was about to be thrown off, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he suddenly heard a shout of killing in front of him, and the first general shouted loudly: "Zanpo thief, the time for your death has come, Xiao Wang has been waiting for a long time."
