September is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky has already begun to be a little cold, although the temperature in the desert during the day is still frighteningly high, no need to make a fire is enough to fry eggs, but at night, the temperature will drop rapidly, not to mention only a single coat, even if it is covered with a thick blanket, it is cold enough, although it is not to the point of becoming ice, but once you speak, it is an indisputable fact that you are in fog, although Li Zhen and his party have already made relevant preparations, anyway, they have been walking on this desert for half a month, But still not too accustomed to such drastic temperature changes, the barbecue dinner ended early, except for a few bonfires and more than 100 light and dark sentinels responsible for the vigil, the rest all retreated back to their respective tents, the originally noisy camp gradually quieted down, just after the end of the day, the entire Tang army camp has completely sunk into sleep.

Because of the dry weather, the desert moon looks extraordinarily bright, in the silver-white moonlight, although separated by a distance of more than 1,000 meters, but the Tang Army's every move for Amoti hiding behind the sand beam, there is no secret at all, although he can't see the movement in those tents, nor can he see the situation in the back camp, but Li Zhen is located near the Chinese army's tent is clearly recognizable, the Tang Army's defense has also fallen into his eyes, for the Tang Army's bright, dark, and mobile sentry arrangements, Amoti, who is old in the war, admires himself very much, but since he already knows the reality of the Tang army's defense, Amoti thinks that if he launches a surprise attack, there is definitely the possibility of rushing into the Tang army's camp in one fell swoop, or even grabbing a few carriages and escaping, the only thing he is worried about is whether there will be an ambush in the rear camp of the Tang army, which is beyond his sight. Expect to find something.

In more than an hour, this more than 40-meter-high sand beam Awangda has climbed up and down four or five times, each time he climbed up and asked for his life, and he was driven down by his brother in a hurry, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only lie on the sand with hatred, looking at the bright moon in the sky, imagining the joy of rushing into the Tang army camp to kill a big fight, and finally survived until the ugly four moments, Nwanda, who could no longer bear to go down, jumped up, rushed to Shaliang, fell down beside Amoti, panted, and forced himself to lower his voice and said: "Big brother, it's time to do it, wait any longer, Tang Jun should get up, at that time, how can I have the opportunity to wait, hey, even if Liu Whirlwind can really hold King Yue and get those belongings, I am afraid that those who can be distributed to our brothers will not even have a fraction, and they will not eat meat, and they will fight for bones with others, this matter is too low!" ”

Faced with Awanda's complaints, Amotti suddenly became upset, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Eat meat, eat meat, you know how to eat meat, if you really bite into the bone, you won't knock all your teeth. ”

"Big brother, it's all here, if there was an ambush in the Tang Army, it would have been a long time ago to show the fox's tail, the brothers are waiting impatiently, what are you waiting for? Just kill it, just fuck it! It's a big deal that we can't grab it, just with our brothers' immediate ability, Tang Jun can't catch up even if he runs to death, I'm afraid of it! The anger in Awanda's heart retorted without hesitation.

When I think of the treasures in the Tang army's camp, I can't say that I am not tempted, it is definitely a lie, but the problem is that Li Zhen's prestige is too great, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang army, Amoti is really not at ease - if the Tang army does not have a relevant ambush, Amoti is not very worried, the big deal is that he didn't grab anything, but at least he beat the Tang army, and it can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Liu Xuanfeng, but what if there is really an ambush? Amotishi couldn't believe that he could safely escape from the Tang army with the more than 300 cavalry under his command.

"Enough, shut up Lao Tzu!" Amotti scolded angrily in a low voice, and no longer paid attention to Awanda, staring at the camp of the Tang army, as if talking to himself: "As soon as the guard changes in two hours, it is time to change the guard in another hour and a half, maybe it is an opportunity." ”

"Half an hour?" Nwanda, who was originally angry, was stunned when he heard this, looked up at the crescent moon hanging obliquely in the sky, and was overjoyed, so he leaned over to Amotti again, and whispered: "Big brother, this is the last time the Tang Army has changed the guard before dawn, even if there is an ambush, it should be taken away at that time, rush, if you don't rush, there will be no chance." ”

"Hmm." Amotti hesitated for a moment, answered noncommittally, then turned his head to look at Awanda, and whispered, "You go down first and let the brothers get ready, and then we will see." ”

Awanda saw that Amo mentioned the bottom and still didn't explicitly say that he was going to launch a surprise attack, and he couldn't help but feel lost, so it can be seen that he can no longer persuade Amotti to change his mind, so he can only respond angrily, slide down the sand beam, and order all the Turkic cavalry to prepare separately, or wrap the horse's hooves with rags, or be busy sorting out their outfits, so they are all flustered, not to mention, all the sand thieves are veterans in this business, although they are very busy, they have not made much movement, at least the Tang army that is more than a thousand meters away has not noticed.

The calm night is actually not calm at all, not only the Turkic cavalry of Amoti's department is waiting, Li Zhen is also waiting - as early as when he first arrived in Liuyuan, Li Zhen faintly felt the existence of murderous aura, although he was not sure which way the sand thieves were there, but it was a sure thing that someone was ambushing nearby, this was completely a premonition for the general, Li Zhen had always believed in intuition, but did not rely entirely on intuition, so there would be the introduction of the hunting and even the bonfire party at the back, Its intention is just to use these seemingly relaxed activities to reconnoiter the enemy's situation - although Amoti's headquarters is well hidden, and it has also eliminated the horseshoe prints left when he sneaked here, but it can't hide the trace of the "Eagle Group" masters, Amoti's hiding place has long been in Li Zhen's grasp, and the only thing in doubt is the actual number of Amoti's department.

With the strength in Li Zhen's hands, it is not difficult to defeat the sand thieves who are secretly ambushed, but it is just a defeat, and it is impossible to achieve total annihilation or heavy damage, and even to pursue the remnants, and this is not in line with Li Zhen Liwei's original intention, therefore, Li Zhen did not order an attack on the sand thieves hiding behind the sand beam, but pretended to relax, and then set up an ambush in the camp, intending to wait for the fish to bite the hook, but he didn't expect to meet a cautious guy, so calm, In the face of the Tang Army's slightly lax defense, he did not launch a surprise attack, but Li Zhen felt a little depressed that he punched into the air, but well, setting up an ambush is a matter of patience, what to see is who can't hold his breath first, as for patience, Li Zhen is not lacking, so he survived all night, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, but the fish still didn't bite the hook, Li Zhen was helpless, and was about to send a signal to withdraw the troops, but at this moment, it was finally here!

Wealth is moving! Amotti finally couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, at three o'clock, it was the darkest hour before dawn, the last change of guard before dawn of the Tang army began, and there was a trace of chaos at the various posts of the Tang army in the state of handover, this time was the moment when the Tang army's defense was the most lax, and it was also the last opportunity that Amoti waited for a night, seeing that the handover of the Tang army's guard post had begun, and there was no movement in the Tang army's rear camp, Amoti didn't want to wait any longer, a grunt slid down the sand beam, jumped on his mount, and moved his hand, He pulled out the straight-handled scimitar at his waist, and didn't talk much nonsense, only drank in a low voice: "Keep up!" As soon as the words fell, he took the lead in riding his horse and boarded the sand beam, under the cover of darkness, with the outstanding riding skills of his individual horsemen and the hooves of the horses wrapped in rags, he sneaked to about three hundred meters away from the Tang army without alarming the Tang army who was changing the guard, until at this time, the Tang army sentry found the swaying cavalry brigade in the dark night, and for a time the horns were all around, and the entire Tang army camp was all alarmed, and by the light of the bonfire, it could be clearly seen that the Tang army camp was full of running people, panicked and disorderly.

"Leave the sentry alone, kill it, grab it and leave!" Seeing that the Tang army was so at a loss, Amotti was immediately overjoyed, and no longer had the slightest scruples, shouted, waved the straight-handled scimitar in his hand, and rushed to the Tang army camp with only a low fence as a barrier, and the more than 300 Turkic cavalry behind him were not to be left behind, and they each swarmed up with a strange roar, and there was a great tendency to flatten the Tang army camp in one fell swoop.

Closer, closer! Seeing that the panicked Tang army sentries fled in all directions, and the Tang army camp was also full of fleeing crowds, the Turkic cavalry's eyes were red, shouting and screaming to kill the generals, ignoring the scattered Tang army, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army to place those carriages full of wealth, a wave of ecstasy about to succeed filled the hearts of the Turks, and many Turkic warriors' hands holding knives couldn't help but tremble.

How far is twenty meters? A normal person runs twenty meters with all his might, which is at most three or five seconds, if it is a war horse in a wild charge, it is just a blink of an eye to run these twenty meters, however, for the Turkic cavalry in the sprint, these twenty meters is a trench that can never be crossed - when Amoti's troops rushed to a distance of only twenty meters from Li Zhen's Chinese army tent, all the good luck was used up, and the distance of twenty meters seemed so close, but they never had the opportunity to run this short twenty meters again in their lives- Huge and vicious traps, seemingly endless rain of arrows, and hundreds of elite cavalry outflanked and attacked, all of which combined to put the Turkic cavalry in a desperate situation.

It can't be, it can't be! Until he fell into the trap and was knocked unconscious by the huge impact, he still couldn't believe what happened to him, without him, since this night, he has never stopped observing the camp of the Tang army, and he has not found that the Tang army has dug a pit in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, but the facts clearly tell him that the reality is cruel - he was tricked, shame, anger, and pain are intertwined, and immediately Amodi fell into a deep coma.

Disappointment, Li Zhen did not have the slightest excitement in his heart to win the first battle, but there was a trace of disappointment, without him, the ambush set up with all his efforts was only a "fly", and the more than 300 Turkic cavalry were not enough to ambush the pro-guards who had been ambushed all night, Li Zhen was even more lazy to participate in the one-sided massacre, but he just ordered his subordinates to light the lights of the Chinese army's tent, and looked at the melee outside the tent boredly, without the slightest intention of making a move.

A thief is a thief, it's okay to fight a tailwind battle, once in ambush, he immediately became a lost dog, plus the Amodi brothers who rushed to the forefront all fell into the pit, life and death are unknown, this morale is even more impossible to talk about, was baptized by a rain of arrows, and more than 100 people have been killed and wounded, plus the Tang Army's elite cavalry attack, this battle before and after only a pillar of incense time was declared over, except for a few horses quickly slipped away, more than 300 Turkic cavalry died in their early 200s, and the rest raised their hands and surrendered.

Soon after the war stopped, Chen Wu strode into the Chinese military tent and reported loudly: "Your Highness, the war has been decided, more than 220 horsemen have been killed, 82 have been captured, three people have been killed and six wounded in our department. There was not the slightest excitement in his voice, without him, Chen Wu and Li Zhen had fought several big battles, and he really didn't look very well at this small victory at the moment.

Turks? Well, it's the Amoti brothers, heh, there's some material! Li Zhen already knew about the situation of the various sand thieves in the Hami area, and when he heard that it was a Turk, he immediately understood the identity of the other party, and thought about it: "Bring it up." ”

"Yes." Chen Wu replied, strode out of the Chinese army's tent, and a moment later, the Amoti brothers, who led several guards to escort the five flowers, walked in.

"Let go of Lao Tzu, there is a kind of one-on-one with Lao Tzu, what kind of hero is a conspiracy! Let go of Lao Tzu! In contrast to Amoti's silence, the rude Awanda struggled vigorously, shouting incessantly.

"Get on your knees!" Those guards were in ambush for most of the night, and they didn't have to play for a while, and they were angry, how could they allow Awanda to be presumptuous, and unceremoniously kicked Awanda's feet, directly kicking Awanda to the ground, if it weren't for Li Zhen raising his hand to signal, I was afraid that these guards would come a few more times, and teach Awanda what rules are called.

"Is that Amotti?" Li Zhen ignored Awanda, who was glaring at him angrily, and calmly glanced at Amoti, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked slowly and logically.

"Yes, it is Amotti, His Highness wants to kill it, but kill it." Amoti raised his head, glanced at Li Zhen, gritted his teeth and said, "But there is one, please ask Your Highness to make it clear, how did this trap come about?" A certain has always stared, but he has not found that His Royal Highness has sent someone to dig a pit, and he does not know this, so he will not be blind to death. ”

Always staring? Ha, this kid is really a cautious person, and it's not in vain that Lao Tzu is tired for half the night. Li Zhen still admired Amoti's caution, and did not hide it, and said with a smile: "This king knows that someone is watching, of course he will not dig a pit directly, but he can dig horizontally from the tent, how can you see through it?" ”

"But the sand ......" Amoti couldn't understand how the soft sand could dig such a big pit diagonally, and looked at Li Zhen in confusion, muttering speechless.

This kind of seemingly impossible thing, in fact, is very simple to put it bluntly - the problem appeared in the first barbecue on the first few ** blankets, those blankets seem to be separated, in fact, they are all left with live buckles, can be connected into a complete and huge blanket, the wooden plank laid under the blanket is not to prevent the blanket from being soiled by the sand, but just to support the operation under the sand - from the tent not far from the barbecue location to dig, has been dug out of a large pit within a radius of several feet, and then, under it began to arrange support, After it is completed, the stalls used for sound insulation and the long wooden slats used for support are removed, and one or two people walking on it will not trigger the trap at all, only a sufficient number of cavalry rushing over it is enough to step on the pit, this is just an ordinary tunnel operation, and there is nothing unusual about it, but Li Zhen did not plan to tell Amotti about this secret, just smiled, changed the topic and said: "This king heard that Er is from the Grolu tribe, I don't know if it's right?" ”

"Yes, a certain surname is Moura, and he is a member of the Grolu tribe of Jinshan (known as the Altai Mountains in Han)." Amoti didn't understand why Li Zhen asked about this, but he still answered honestly.

"Oh? In this way, Er is still the surname of Ye Hu, and this king is disrespectful. As soon as he heard that Amotti reported to his home, Li Zhen was really taken aback - Ge Lulu has three surnames, one is called plotting, or plotting; One is called blazing, or prostrate; One is said to step on the strength, so in the literature often called the three surnames Qarluq, the leader of the name Ye Hu, all from the assassination of this kind of surname, and then by the Turkic ten surnames of the Turks defeated, annexed, become the other Turkic tribes, in the Western Turks of various castes belong to the same small tribes, for the Western Turks, such small surnames are only slightly higher than the status of slaves, except for the use of conscription sources, there is no use at all, the Khan's court has always been harsh on these small castes, and the taxes are extremely heavy.

"Your Highness knows the name of my ministry?" Seeing Li Zhen reveal his origin, Amotti was immediately surprised, his eyes were round, and he looked at Li Zhen with a surprised face.

Haha, I didn't expect to be able to pick up a baby in such a small battle, cool! Li Zhen's heart, which was originally slightly disappointed, was already uplifted at this time, looked at Amoti with a smile on his face, and asked gently: "Are you willing to surrender to the king?" ”

"Ahh Amoti, who thought that he would definitely die, didn't expect Li Zhen to appease him, and he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and looked at Li Zhen dumbfounded, unable to speak......
