Although the two armies in the Tang army camp had fought fiercely, the Sui army camp remained still, and the Sui army scouts discovered another Turkic army hidden at the foot of the eastern mountain in time, far outnumbering the Turkic army attacking from the west, at least more than 30,000 people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xuan had to admire Fang Xuanling's judgment, the Turkic army really used the strategy of attacking the west from the east with sound, attacking from the western front with a small number of cavalry, attracting his main force to the western front to rescue, but his real main force was hidden in the east, like a pack of cunning wolves, waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws.

The tents in the Sui army camp have all been dismantled, 100,000 Sui troops have been deployed in place, 10,000 troops have been deployed in the north and south, 30,000 crossbowmen have been deployed on the five-mile long camp wall to the west, and another 20,000 cavalry are deployed several miles away in the north and south, like opening a huge cloth bag, waiting for the Turkic army to kill in.

The Sui army has a total of 40,000 cavalry, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry deployed in the north and south, there are 10,000 cavalry in the camp ready to deal with the breakthrough of the Turkic army, but Zhang Xuan can't care about the life and death of the Tang army, after all, the Tang army only came to join him today, the camp wall has not been built, if you can't stop the Turkic army's assault, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, if he doesn't go to the rescue, it will affect the coordinated operation of the two families.

Although Li Pingjiang had already led 5,000 cavalry to reinforce first, Zhang Xuan was still not at ease.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered Hu Benlang to lead Zhang Hong with 5,000 cavalry to reinforce the Tang army.

At this time, the Tang army was in a fierce battle, 8,000 Turkic elite cavalry had broken through the Tang army's peripheral defense from three directions, and entered the camp, and the 5,000 cavalry led by Xie Yingdeng intercepted the 3,000 Turkic cavalry, the two armies fought fiercely outside the camp, the Tang cavalry was superior in numbers, but the Turkic cavalry was more brave and good at fighting, and the two sides fought inseparably.

At this time, 10,000 reinforcements of the Sui cavalry arrived one after another, and they were divided into two routes, one way Zhang Hong led 5,000 people to the periphery to support Xie Yingdeng, and the other route led 5,000 people from the north to the Tang camp led by Li Pingjiang, the Sui general Li Pingjiang, and directly hit the back of thousands of Turkic cavalry, and caught the Turkic cavalry by surprise.

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Tang army, and they surrounded the Turkic cavalry that had entered the camp from all sides, and the drums thundered like thunder, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

.........

Twenty miles away from the east of the Sui army camp is a big mountain with a radius of tens of miles, called Sheephorn Mountain, the mountain is steep, the forest is luxuriant, the foot of the mountain is surrounded by a large forest, the forest surrounds the whole mountain, and stretches to the south, just like a green belt, quite magnificent.

This forest is about 100 miles long and about 10 miles wide, a small river passes through the forest, bringing sufficient water to the forest, the forest grows tall and luxuriant, and a large number of fierce beasts and deer live in it.

At this time, at the western foot of the Sheephorn Mountain, a Turkic cavalry team of 30,000 men was ready to launch a surprise attack on the Sui army camp at any time.

This Turkic cavalry was also composed entirely of the guards of the Chuluo Khan, well-equipped, brave in battle, and very powerful in combat, and its commander was none other than Chuluo Khan himself.

When the Sui army was still in Jiaocheng County, Chu Luo Khan planned this night attack, he sent 40,000 troops early, avoiding the Sui army scouts, in order to achieve a surprise effect, it turned out that his night attack plan was indeed effective, the Sui army did not find a 40,000 cavalry has been hidden in the periphery.

Chu Luo Khan originally planned to launch a surprise attack when the Sui army went north, but he changed his plan this morning, on the one hand, the Sui army did not move north, and on the other hand, the most important reason, that is, 30,000 Tang troops came to join the Sui army, which made Chu Luo Khan see the opportunity to sneak attack.

To this end, Chu Luo Khan made careful arrangements, 8,000 elite Turkic cavalry raided the Tang army camp that had not yet been built, and he personally 30,000 cavalry hid in the sound forest more than ten miles away, waiting for the moment of attack.

Chuluo Khan was guarded by hundreds of cavalry on a mound in front of the forest, looking at the Sui army camp more than ten miles away, the dark clouds were low, the wind was high and the moon was dark, hundreds of steps away were shrouded in night fog, and the camp was not visible more than ten miles away, but a few lanterns were hung on the high wall of the camp, like a guiding light in the night, so that Chuluo Khan knew the location of the Sui army camp.

However, at this time, Luo Khan regained his usual suspicious nature, and his intuition told him that this sneak attack might be more than lucky, but the army had completed its deployment, and the 8,000 cavalry as bait had also been killed, like an arrow on the string, and had to be fired.

The two contradictory judgments made Luo Khan in a dilemma, whether this battle would be fought or not?

"Did the spies come back?" Chu Luo Khan turned around and asked sharply.

"Qiyu Khan, he hasn't come back yet."

Chu Luo's heart was itching with hatred, but these spies were so weak at the critical moment, when they were all executed, at this time, the shouts and war drums from afar became more and more tense, as if the battle had reached a critical moment.

Time does not allow him to continue to be embarrassed, either give up or attack, he must make a choice, Chu Luo Khan finally had a heart, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Wen Mutie, let him lead the army to raid!" ”

When the order came, 10,000 cavalry, led by Wan Commander Wen Mutie, suddenly slaughtered out of the forest and rushed towards the Sui army camp more than ten miles away.

Chuluo Khan then led an army of 20,000 to march slowly, waiting for the results of the 10,000-strong vanguard army, and once their surprise attack was successful, the 20,000-strong army would be killed.

.........

The ten outposts sent by the Chuluo Khan have all been surrounded and annihilated by the Sui army scouts, making the Turkic army blind and deaf, but letting the Sui army know the details of the Turkic army, and the person who commanded the 30,000 troops was the Turkic Khan.

At this time, Zhang Xuan was standing on the high wall of the barracks, staring seriously into the distance, he had already heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, just from the sound of running horses' hooves, he could judge that it was 10,000 Turkic cavalry.

This shows that Luo Khan finally left a hand and refused to attack with his troops, and there should be 20,000 cavalry far behind.

"Dashuai, are we going to attack?" Pei Xingyan asked for instructions in a low voice, and he also judged that the Turkic army had not been killed.

Zhang Xuan said coldly: "Order the whole army to attack according to the original plan!" ”

......

Unlike the 8,000 Turkic army that attacked the Tang camp, the 8,000 Turkic army that attacked the Tang camp was to create momentum, so the momentum of the 8,000 cavalry was like tens of thousands, while the Turkic army on the eastern front was extremely low-key and silent, and the hooves of all their horses were wrapped in wool felt to reduce the impact of the horses' hooves and the ground.

10,000 Turkic vanguard cavalry has been killed five miles away from the Sui army camp, the heart of the commander Wen Mutie began to hang, as a general, he doesn't care about the Sui soldiers suddenly appearing on the high wall, for him, frontal impact and sneak attack are a kind of combat, he is worried that there will be countless thistle thorns and horse traps on the ground, which is a taboo for war horses.

The 10,000 cavalry did not have the slightest sense of stopping, and continued to rush towards the camp, and the hundreds of cavalry in front had already taken out the rope sleeve, which was used to pull down the high wall of the Sui army's large camp, and the plate barracks were made of wood to build a frame, and then the middle was rammed with mud, so as long as the wooden frame was pulled down, the entire camp wall would collapse.

At this time, the 10,000 cavalry was less than a mile away from the camp, and they had never encountered thistles and horse traps, Wen Mutie's heart hanging in mid-air finally fell, and he also gave birth to a trace of luck, could it be that the Sui army was really attracted by the Turkic cavalry on the Western Front?

The Turkic cavalry had already entered within three hundred paces, and at this time, Pei Xingyan on the high wall shouted, "Attack!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly a rapid drum beat sounded above the Sui army camp.

With the sound of drums, more than ninety trebuchets started at the same time, and the long arm swinged, throwing the boulder weighing eighty or ninety catties into the air, and nearly a hundred boulders rotated in the air, whistling and smashing into the dense crowd, 'Boom! The boulder fell, rolled in the crowd, and the red-stained earth foam rose into the air, and more than a dozen war horses and cavalry were smashed into a bloody blur, and the miserable sight was unbearable, and one after another the boulder smashed into the crowd, and the screams were heard one after another.
