Chapter 249: Night Attack (5)

…… The battle came relatively suddenly, and Umiden suddenly sent nearly 10,000 cavalry to launch a night attack, which really caught the expeditionary troops a little off guard, but fortunately, Xu Chen put Cheng Shouli's Dadou Army on the periphery to guard, although the news was a little late, but with the mobile surname of the Dadou Army, it was still able to effectively prevent this sudden night attack.

At this moment, the camp was already brightly lit and crowded, and the night of this solar term was already extremely cold, coupled with the bright armor on the soldiers, there was a long-lost atmosphere of solemnity.

After a while, there was a deafening shout of killing at the mouth of the canyon, and the cavalry sent by Umiden from the canyon went straight to the Tang army camp, and happened to encounter Cheng Shouli's big fighting army, and then the two armies fell into a fight.

In such a night, because of a strong wind just blowing, the dark clouds seem to have been blown away, and it is also a little bright, but after all, it is night, and it seems to be a black and oppressive scene in the distance, and there are shouts of killing.

Because the Turks are rushing over, the two armies are almost face-to-face, and the bow battalion that Xu Chen tried before is difficult to play a role, the space is too small, in fact, the most effective way to block the cavalry in the dark night is the spear of the infantry, first, the cavalry momentum in the dark night is obviously insufficient, and the spear array is fully capable of blocking the impact of the cavalry, and the second is that the cavalry melee in the dark night is very unfavorable for the Tang army, and it is easy to distinguish between the enemy and me, far less powerful than the Turks who grew up in the steppe since childhood, and the advantage of the infantry is highlighted.

As mentioned earlier, when the military scout sent the news, the Turkic cavalry had already left the canyon, and the 50,000 Tang troops were stationed on the periphery of the canyon, which was some distance, and the Turkic cavalry came straight to the camp with great momentum, and it was difficult for the infantry to have enough time to prepare for the formation, so Xu Chen decisively sent the Dadou army to block it.

This side is already a fight, nearly 20,000 cavalry fighting in the dark night, the so-called sword light and sword shadow, the horizontal knife slashed on the armor to draw a stunning spark, the blood is too late to stay, painted on the cheek or chest to coagulate into blood clots, sprinkled with new lungs of the shout, the sorrow of countless war horses, like the souls of hell, like the creatures struggling to cross the catastrophe, this is not a concert, let alone a dream, as if at a moment, sleeping in the dark and cold grassland moonlight, and like an instant explosion, destroying all living beings.

Countless torches are scattered on the grassland, rendering a little halo of light, you can see the heads of people rolling down the grass, the eyes that never blink, you can see the messy arms and arms, and even the ears and eyeballs......

And nothing, it's war, it's war......

At this time, Cheng Shouli really couldn't bear the surname, and went into battle to cut vegetables with a machete, but it was too dark, and the light of the moon was not very strongto give the large army time to adjust.

The battle of more than 20,000 people is indeed terrifying, especially in the night, mighty and mighty, stretching for several miles, the non-stop collision of war horses, the sound of sword impact, the rise of Cheng Shouli killing, but it is hard for several of his subordinates, desperately surrounding him to escort, for fear that Lao Cheng will make a mistake, his subordinates are all fateful friendships, no wonder this horseman comes to such a play from time to time, but he is rarely injured.

The two cavalry units fought against each other at the beginning, after all, it was dark night, and these Turks obviously had no intention of struggling to advance, but they were in a stalemate with the puppet army for a while......

Xu Chen was just about to talk to Fang Yi, and the front hand sent a battle report, this is a real-time battle report ordered by Xu Chen, delivered every minute, Xu Chen nodded after listening, and the soldier quickly walked away.

"Do you know why you stayed?" Xu Chen motioned to Fang Yi to chat while walking.

"The horse has its own plans, and I don't dare to ask more."

"Tell me, how many forces are there in our barracks?" Xu Chenpi asked with a smile.

While the two of them were walking, they were going in the direction of Fang Yi's Praetorian Guards, followed by a group of guards, and now the outside of the camp was a pot of porridge, but Xu Chen asked Fang Yi such a question, which couldn't help but make the latter scratch his head, looking at the horse's calm and relaxed expression, as if nothing had happened, the Turks had come to the door!

"My subordinates don't know!" Fang Yi didn't have a good temperament, the two of them have been able to get along like friends these days, and they were scolded by Xu Chen in the tent, and they held a slight grudge, and the professionalism they usually formed was a little annoyed after hearing Xu Chen's words.

"Didn't you see anything wrong with this Turkic night attack?" Xu Chen was helpless, and continued to ask.

Fang Yi stopped, frowned, and said with a pickle in his mustache: "It's obviously carefully planned, but we don't know anything about it after passing the canyon." ”

Fang Yi thought for a while, seemed to think of something, and continued: "More than 10,000 cavalry suddenly came over, if you want us not to notice it, it is obviously impossible, and it is difficult to pass 10,000 people in that canyon in a short time, what does the horse mean, there are people in the army to cover for the Turks?" ”

Immediately a spirit, Fang Yi was frightened in a cold sweat, but this idea was bold and abnormal, absolutely impossible, in Fang Yi's opinion, how could the Tang army have the annihilation of this Turkic remnant? !

Xu Chen also stopped, and said with a smile: "The wrong place is not here, since the Turkic cavalry has avoided the canyon, it can be found by us closer to our camp, and the forward exploration was found near the canyon, which is obviously very wrong, that can only show that this is the Turkic deliberately telling us that 10,000 cavalry emerged from the canyon, if this is the case, what do you say their purpose is?" ”

After Xu Chen's simple words, Fang Yi was completely frightened, this thing is indeed too strange, just say that the Turks were able to cross the canyon before being discovered, this is obviously an extremely unreasonable existence, so how big is the power that can make this unreasonable existence? If there is a fine annihilation, then the right to annihilate is too big, right? Thinking of the previous question of the horse, I asked how many forces the army was divided into, and I couldn't help but fight a cold war.

"If the Turks do this, it is likely that the purpose is to attract our attention." Fang Yi said.

"Go on."

"And if you want to attract a large army to block, then the battalion is bound to be weak, in the past two days, a large number of stragglers have been found on the grassland, if there are annihilations in the battalion, they are likely to attack the camp, etc., no, it should be a night attack on grain and grass!"

A series of bold reasoning, reasoning towards the most likely relationship, Fang Yi looked at Xu Yuma nodding and smiling, and was directly surprised, this is too fantastical, he can't help but admire his own imagination, and then shook his head again and again.

Xu Chen leaned over and whispered: "Your reasoning looks scary, but in fact, it only takes one thing to become a reality: there are annihilations in the camp!" ”

Fang Yi chuckled, swallowed and foamed, and listened to Xu Chen continue:

"As far as I know, the distribution of forces in the west of the river in Geshuhan is very complicated, and it is normal for there to be annihilation, and the forces on the other side are what I am worried about......"

The forces of the other side? Isn't it amazing enough to have annihilation? Fang Yi looked at Xu Yuma's face, and directly had the urge to kneel, this is too nonsense! (To be continued.) )
