Chapter 815: The ambush is out

ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the book friend Yuki Kaede, and thank the book friend KS, Maxima 0208 for the reward and encouragement.

The four tigers of the Xue family are no longer by Xue Shixiong's side, only the deputy general Wang Rengong is standing with a sword and a lance, still standing by Xue Shixiong's side, thoughtful. Xue Shixiong smiled slightly and glanced at Wang Rengong: "General Wang, in your opinion, which way is the main force of the enemy army?" ”

Wang Rengong said calmly: "Soldiers, sophistication, this is the main force of the cavalry of the Western Turks, and the person who leads the troops must also know the art of war, but he does this to cover up, if it is really the main force attacking the big camp of our army, then it should be silenced, quietly gather troops, and suddenly attack, but the center is playing the wolf flag, and making such a big move, it will obviously not be the main force, at most five or six thousand light cavalry, most of them are also to probe the reality of our army, to find out whether there are ambushes in the battalion, and their real main force, It should be the two roads that are now detouring to the left and right, wanting to flank the troops of our army to return to the reinforcement battalion. ”

Xue Shixiong nodded: "General Wang's opinion is completely consistent with that of this commander, so which of the enemy's left and right troops is personally led by their general?" ”

Wang Rengong carefully looked at the running speed of the two cavalry, and said: "The group of men and horses that came from the right side of my camp is a little less numerous, but the sound is very loud, it is obvious that some temporarily recruited nomads, relying on loud shouts to give themselves courage, and their formation is also a little chaotic, between the cavalry or fifty or sixty horsemen into a group, or more than a hundred horsemen into a group, it seems that the tent is a unit, without strict training and formation. If it's not bad as expected. Although they are armed with ironclad steel knives. But it is still a unit of the servant tribe, and the combat effectiveness will not be too strong! ”

"As for the road on the left, it doesn't seem to be loud, but it's silent, and there is hardly any movement except the sound of horses' hooves, although the three Turkic cavalry all use smoke and dust to disguise themselves, but it seems to me. The road on the left is the elite of the headquarters of Nakuzhen Tutun, and it is also the core force of the crossbow lost tribe, if you want to break the enemy army, you have to completely defeat this road! ”

Xue Shixiong smiled with satisfaction: "General Wang is really proficient in the art of war, worthy of being an old subordinate who has followed the Duke of Chu for many years, I remember that when the Duke of Chu fought against the Datou Khan, he used cavalry against cavalry, and defeated the Turkic iron cavalry head-on, is this the case?" ”

Wang Rengong smiled slightly: "That's right, the Turkic cavalry comes and goes like the wind. Galloping vertically and horizontally, it is really a very elite and brave cavalry. But in Ren Gong's opinion, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by the marshal, the armor and cavalry, and the 10,000 people in his department are all fierce generals who have fought for many years, even if they are compared to the Xiaoguo Cavalry, they are not far behind, and they will definitely be able to win the battle against the Turkic cavalry! ”

Xue Shixiong laughed: "Very good, thanks to your auspicious words, we will act according to the original plan!" ”

Half an hour later, 15,000 Turkic iron cavalry, detoured back to the position of about three miles to the left of the Sui army camp, listed a triangle, 100 cavalry for a team of wedge-shaped offensive formation, the other two directions of the Turkic cavalry, after maneuvering, also almost formed such a scale, Ashina Mohe rode in front of the formation, coldly looked at the original front direction of the five thousand light cavalry, under the leadership of Kurero Qi Jin, with the banner of the golden wolf, like a gust of wind rushed to the Sui army's camp, and then drew a long arc, Spread out to the side front, and then shoot a rain of arrows, pouring down in the camp of the Sui army.

A military general stepped forward and whispered to Ashina Mohe: "General, something is wrong, there seems to be no movement in the Sui army camp, what are they singing?" ”

Ashina Mohe glanced at the Sui infantry in front of him, three or four thousand infantry hurriedly rushed out of the camp, facing his own direction, and began to line up a phalanx with long lances and shields, and in the other direction, the same number of Sui infantry was also facing the Baye Gu army on the right, listing such a phalanx, he sneered: "Do you need to ask, the Sui army doesn't know the reality of our army, and can only guard the main force in the big camp in a hurry, but now that we see the number of cavalry on both sides of us, we can only send people out, list the gun array, and try to block our left and right flanking attacks!" ”

The general, who claimed yes, continued to ask, "So what do we do now?" Do you want to attack together? The formation of the Sui army has not yet been lined up, and now rushing over, it will definitely be able to win a big victory! ”

Ashina Mohe shook his head: "No, it's not the time yet, you have to wait for Ku Liro to lead people to rush into the Sui army camp, then you can assault!" ”

The general's eyes widened: "General Mo He, didn't you say that the main force of the Sui army is in the big camp?" In this way, General Cullero will not be trapped in it! ”

Ashina Mohe sneered: "If he doesn't fall inside, how can he buy us time?" The Sui army is the elite, how can it be so easy to eliminate, these thousands of long lance soldiers who come out now will not be all their strength at all, only after the situation is completely clear, we will impact in one fell swoop, we can win a complete victory, and then the Kuzhen Tutun in the city will also take the cavalry out of the west gate, we will attack on three sides, first destroy the Sui army outside the city, and then storm the camp! ”

After shooting six or seven rounds of arrow rain, Culiro's cavalry finally rushed to the camp of the Sui army, hundreds of knights in the front row shouted and threw out a lasso, entangled the wooden fence of the Sui army camp, in the desert, the fence was inserted in the quicksand, it was very shallow, these Turkic knights shouted in unison, turned their horses and turned their heads, a few horses made a force, and the whole row of wooden fences could be pulled down, only a moment of effort, the fence behind the Sui army camp five or six miles long, it was forced to relocate, not an inch of wood was left!

Kurero laughed: "Warriors, the Sui army is not strong enough, all of them went to the front to attack the city, and there is an emptiness in the back, the wolf god blesses us, everyone rushes in, and turns the camp of the Sui army into a sea of fire!" The Turkic cavalry around him burst into cheers, and they all took out a wooden stick smeared with pine oil balsam, hung their bows and arrows and lances on the horse hooks, and then took out the flint in their arms to make fire, and then several people gathered together and gathered the wooden sticks on the already burning torches, and soon, more than 5,000 Turkic cavalrymen were already holding one or two burning torches!

Cuurero took the lead and rushed to the camp of the Sui army, and this kind of robbery and arson was what he was best at. In the middle of the desert. His main occupation is this kind of robber in the desert. With the members of the tribe to rob the caravans on the Silk Road, although today he was strictly ordered by Ashina Mohe not to steal the baggage of the Sui army, but as long as the fire was lit and the task was completed, were you afraid that you would not get enough benefits afterwards?

Culiro led more than 200 guards into the Sui army camp, and in the Sui army's camp, hundreds of tents were neatly arranged. According to the divisions one by one, there are more than ten steps between the columns, and seven or eight steps between the rows, and some baggage carts and grain and grass are placed in an orderly manner between the tents, which is the best tool for robbery and arson.

The Turkic cavalry also dispersed into various squads, galloping back and forth in the alleys of this barracks, shouting cheerful trumpets, and scattering the torches in their hands on the tents and carts of the Sui army. In the dry air of the desert, these natural ignition materials suddenly burst into flames. Black smoke suddenly jumped into the air more than ten feet high.

Culiro's squad galloped happily all the way, the tent behind them had turned into a sea of fire, and the scorching temperature was left behind by them, the sons of the wind, and these skilled Turkic knights, at first they were wary of the possibility of an ambush by the Sui army in the tent, but after burning dozens of curtains, not even half a figure was gone, they were completely relieved, one by one took out torches from the bags on the side of the horse, lit them on the tents and grass carts that were already on fire, and quickly ran to the next area where the fire was set on fire.

Seeing that more than 70 tents as the rear army of the Sui army have become a sea of fire, Culiero rushed to a camp in the middle, which should be the middle army of the Sui army, and it is also where the tent is located, as the main general, Culiro, of course, does not want to let others rob him of his credit, the rear army is burned like this, and the Sui camp has not moved, presumably the Sui army has already gone out to attack the city, and now what he has to do is to completely burn this large camp before the Sui army returns to help, and then meet with the main force of Ashina Mohe, the Sui army that has lost its footing, Under the fortified city of Dun, how can there be a fire behind it, and the battlefield is full of Turkic iron cavalry on the left and right?

Culiero's heart has blossomed, he holds two torches in both hands, bites the reins in his mouth, relies on the strength of his legs, clamps the horse's belly, and manipulates the direction and speed of the horse's gallop, the huge handsome tent is in a vacant space in front of him, and now in Curero's eyes, there is only this thing, and the big flag of the word "Sui" fluttering high in front of the handsome tent, burn this handsome tent, and then cut down this handsome flag, it will definitely make the Sui army chaos without a fight!

A rapid gong sounded, followed by the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, Cuurero's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened wide, and the reins of the horse slipped from his mouth, but what he saw in his eyes was that in this row of white tents, countless Sui crossbowmen suddenly flashed, and above the open space in front of him, three half-human-high tripping horse stakes were directly erected, and behind the horse stakes, crossbow arrows like flying locusts attacked.

Cullero wanted to throw away the torch in his hand and pull the reins of the horse, so that the front hooves of the war horse could stand up and block this wave of dense crossbow rain, but before he could let go of the torch in his hand, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then, the chest and abdomen in front of him seemed to be drilled by a few things, and the iron chain mail was completely unable to resist the Sui army's four-stone infantry crossbow within a hundred paces of fire.

Culiro only felt the sharp pain in his chest quickly turned into a chill in his back, this was the first time in his life, and the last time he felt what it felt like to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, his eyes were still wide open, the blood in the corners of his mouth and nostrils was flowing downward, his body was softly tilted to the side, just before falling to the ground, his last impression in this world was to see a large number of Sui crossbowmen and heavily armored long-lance infantry rushing out of those tents.

Xue Wanshu rode a Turkic war horse with a whole body black, tall and divine horse, accompanied by more than 20 cavalrymen, from the battalion, the infantry in front of them consciously dodged a passage more than two zhang wide, if you look down from the top of your head, you can see that in the large camp within a radius of five or six miles, more than 1,000 war horses of the Sui army are along dozens of such passages, towards the Turkic light cavalry who were baptized by the rain of arrows, the main general was killed, and the Turkic light cavalry who were in a chaos launched a tidal counterattack.

The cavalry generals who led the team, just like Xue Wanshu, held bows and arrows one after another, and poured a rain of arrows towards the Turkic cavalry again, in front of the three tripping horse piles, there were five or six hundred Turkic cavalry who were tripped and turned over on their backs, Xue Wanshu didn't care about these Turkic knights who were rolling on the ground and screaming, their legs clamped the horse's belly, the black horse neighed, and its four hooves flew over, and it flew over the heads of these horses alive and fell five or six zhang away, and Xue Wanshu's arms carried a thousand pounds, and the heavy mace drew a big circle on the top of his head, hit the heads of the three Turkic cavalry standing in front of them head-on, these three heads were like three fragile watermelons, smashed to death, red and white blood and brain flowers fluttered in the air, and the camp that was originally filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke suddenly had an extra smell of blood.

Several Turkic cavalry captains drew their scimitars, wielded their lances and maces, and shouted: "Warriors, fight with the Sui people!" ”

Xue Wanshu laughed, his movements did not pause at all, the war horse swept past the three Turkic war horses sitting on the headless corpse, the six or seven Turks in front of him had just drawn their weapons and wanted to fight back, but they were made like a windmill by his mace, and they were killed when they were touched, and they were injured when they knocked on, and a few guys who were close to them were smashed from the horses and flew straight out, and a large piece of their chests or backs were sunk into them.

In the melee of this ironclad cavalry, the lance is not the most competent weapon, like this kind of mace or sledgehammer with a large piece of mace, it is the most lethal guy, Xue Wanshu followed by a group of Xue Fu generals, all of them are using these blunt weapons to smash people, only one charge, more than 300 Turkic cavalry in front of him, more than half of them were smashed, and the remaining knights are not fools, these Turkic light horsemen are usually bandits in the desert, they have always been beaten if they have earned, and flashed if they don't earn, Seeing that the companions in front of them fell to the ground like raindrops, the companions behind did not care about fighting back, and turned their horses' heads and galloped backwards.

It's just that the Turkic cavalry was happy to set fire to the camp just now, and this time it was more tragic when they fled, in front of them were like wolves and tigers, and the infantry of the Sui army was in a tight array, and the tips of the long lances flashed with dazzling cold light, like an impassable steel forest, and the cavalry smashed them with maces and hammers and the like. The infantry of the Sui army with long lances lined up, and stabbed the Turkic wounded soldiers who had fallen to the ground and breathed a breath, and then cut off their heads, tied them around their waists, and continued to move forward.
