Chapter 598: Tribulus traps the horse

The night was dark.

Because it was the last day of September, the sky was dark and gloomy, and there was no trace of the moon in sight, only a little starlight twinkling, casting a faint light on the earth.

The wind on the grassland was blowing, and the terrible wolf howls could be faintly heard.

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

A large steppe cavalry was quietly approaching the distant prey in the wind, the sound of the huge wind masking the sound of the horses' hooves running, and the dark night covered them with a cloak of stealth.

About five or six miles to the camp where the Qin army was, this steppe cavalry stopped, waiting for the scouts in front to report the specific situation.

Half an hour later, several Hun scouts returned and reported to Tou Mandan Yuyu: "The camp of the Qin army has not changed, and their location is the same as what the Marquis of the Left Bone said. However, there are bonfires lit in the camps of the Qin people everywhere, and there are people who keep vigil, so we dare not approach, so we can only watch from afar. ”

"Okay, the Qin army camp hasn't changed, it seems that Zhao Tuo was deceived by my fake surrender plan, and he really stayed here and waited for me to surrender, hahaha, it's really a heavenly Qin people!"

"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you have also been deceived by me one day!"

Tou Manshan Yu chuckled, since there were no major changes in the Qin army's camp, then he could launch an attack according to the plan he had made before.

"The Qin army is divided into five camps, and Zhao Tuo's commander is located in the Chinese army, and there are military camps guarding it in the east, south, west, and north."

"I will attack the east, west, and north of the Qin camp with 60,000 cavalry, as long as I attack the Qin camp and kill on a large scale, the Qin people will be attacked in a hurry, and they will rush towards their Chinese army in chaos and panic."

"When the time comes, in the face of the three-way rout army attacking the Chinese army camp, the time is in the middle of the night, and even if he Zhao Tuo is highly capable, it is impossible to save the situation and regain control of the army. Under the attack of our three-way army, the Qin people could only rout Nanben and disrupt their camp in the south, so that the army they had arranged in the south did not have to worry too much. ”

"So I will send 20,000 horsemen to the south to hide, and will not attack at first, leaving a way for the Qin people to survive, so that their defeated army will all flee to the south. When the Qin army began to rout, the 20,000 horsemen came out again to pursue and intercept, in order to kill and injure the Qin people, if they could catch Zhao Tuo's little cub in the chaotic army, it would be better! ”

Tou Mandan gathered several of his generals and began to distribute the battlefields of each department.

Although he has not learned the art of war in Zhuxia, he has also comprehended the fighting method of "encircling three and missing one" in the actual combat on the grassland, leaving a way for the enemy to survive, which can quickly collapse the enemy's morale and prevent them from resisting to the death in a desperate situation.

On the grounds that she had a great enmity with Zhao Tuo, Su Jiasha asked for orders to take 20,000 Yue's cavalry to the south to carry out the follow-up pursuit and interception of the Qin army's rout.

Tou Manshan Yu saw through Sujiasha's careful thinking, and was responsible for the task of pursuing the rout army in the south, with the greatest gain and the least risk.

For the sake of her people, Sugarsha chose a mission that would preserve her strength.

Tou Mandan Yu promised, in his opinion, anyway, after this battle is over, he will marry Su Jiasha and completely incorporate the 20,000 Yue's cavalry into his hands, so retaining the strength of the Yue's cavalry is also retaining his own strength, so it is naturally okay to do so.

Soon, the direction of attack of the divisions was assigned.

Wuluxu, the king of the left valley, attacked the Qin camp in the west, and Su Budang, the king of the right valley, attacked the east, and Su Jiasha, the nobledaughter of the Yue clan, was in charge of the south.

In the direction of the north, the left bone capital Hou Hu Yanyu launched an offensive.

As for Da Dan Yu himself, he led the last 20,000 elites to control the overall situation on the periphery, as a reserve force, to guard against situations that may arise at any time.

"Zhao Tuo, this little cub is very insidious, it's hard to guarantee that he won't come up with any tricks, I have to reserve my troops as a precaution."

Tou Manshan thought like this, he was still a little jealous of Zhao Tuo, who was full of tricks.

At this time, after the task was assigned, Wuluxu, Xu Budang, Huyanzu, and Su Jiasha each gathered their troops and began to act separately.

The Xiongnu army, like wolves hunting on the steppe, launched an offensive from four directions under the cover of night.

……

The edge of the eastern camp of the Qin army.

The sky was full of stars, and a bonfire was burning on the ground, because of the scarcity of grassland wood, the Qin army's bonfires were not many in number, and they were not burning vigorously enough, only barely illuminating the surrounding ground.

"The general has ordered, tonight the Huns are very likely to come and attack us, this is a matter of life and death, all cheer me up, open your eyes wide!"

Wang Ling patrolled the area he was responsible for, shouting to his Qin guards as he walked to prevent anyone from dozing off.

Xi Juan yawned, then raised his hand and slapped himself.

When he was slightly sober, he looked up and saw that it was dark outside the car formation, and he couldn't see far with his eyesight, and the wind was howling on the grassland, so he couldn't detect the situation a few meters outside the car formation.

A pawn also glanced outside and muttered: "It's such a dark day, and the wind is so strong, if the Huns really take the opportunity to touch it, we may not be able to see it clearly."

Xi Juan smiled: "They will call, don't forget those thistles sprinkled during the day, what do you want it to be like if the Huns step on it." ”

On the other side, Wang Su, who was yawning in front of the bonfire, heard this, and also laughed: "In addition to the thistles, there is also a trench dug outside, and there is also a trap for horses dug outside under the orders of the general, I glanced at it at dusk, it was really dense, if there were really cavalry rushing over, I am afraid that they would all break the horse's legs, and open their mouths to shout......"

"Ahhh

The terrible screams came at the right time, one after another, as if in response to what Wang Su said.

"Enemy attack!"

Wang Ling, who was patrolling, shouted, picked up the horn hanging from his waist and blew it.

In the Qin camp, the sound of trumpets came and went.

The reprimands of Qin generals at all levels immediately sounded, and in the camp tents everywhere, the Qin soldiers who were sleeping in armor and pillows were awakened.

They rushed out of the tents with their weapons in their hands and went to the place where they had stood during the day's training under the leadership of officers of all ranks.

For tonight's situation, they have already rehearsed during the day.

Everything seems to be in order.

……

Outside the Qin military camp, the desolate horns of the Huns rose and fell in the wind.

This was the signal for the Hun army to attack together.

But at this moment, in the high-pitched horn sound, there were constantly shouts and curses of the Huns, and the neighing and screaming of the war horses echoed, making the horn of the attack seem a little weird.

"Zhao Tuo is treacherous!"

"Sinister Qin people!"

"Shameless!"

Wulu and other Xiongnu nobles kept cursing.

It was different from what they imagined, when 60,000 cavalry attacked the Qin camp, smashed through the car formation, killed the sleeping Qin people, and drove the rout army to attack the Qin camp. At this moment, the battle of the Huns' night attack is a bit like a pack of wolves that take the initiative to jump into a trap, which is funny and ridiculous.

The Qin people didn't know what was sprinkled on the ground, and the galloping horses of the Huns would all scream in pain when they stepped on it.

Some of the horses fell to the ground, some stood up and neighed, and the Hun warriors on horseback fell down, and the Hun warriors who fell to the ground also rolled on the ground in pain as if their buttocks had been poked into something, and the more they rolled, the more miserable they screamed, until they were trampled into rotten flesh by the horses' hooves behind.

At the same time, in addition to setting up hidden weapons on the ground, the Qin people also dug many large and small deep pits outside the military camp, when the war horses galloped, the horse's hooves stepped into this deep pit, most of them would break the horse's legs on the spot, and the war horses fell to the ground with a wail, and the scene was really tearful.

When the Huns filled the deep pit with the corpses of men and horses and consumed all the hidden weapons, and came to the front of the Qin army's chariot array, they found that there was a large and deep trench in front of the chariot array, which was completely beyond what they could rush through on horseback.

Touman Danyu, who was far away from the camp, could hardly see the scene in the distance, but the fast horse in front had already brought the news that the Qin people had set a trap.

"What a sinister Zhao Tuo, who has more cattle and sheep than the Huns, and actually laid this kind of thing outside the camp."

Tou Manshan pinched the thistle terrestris that was still stained with blood, and his face was cloudy.

He wasn't sure that this was a trap that Zhao Tuo had deliberately laid after seeing through his plan to fake a night attack. Or Zhao Tuo didn't see through it, but only came up with defensive measures out of the mentality of precaution.

Either way, Tou Mandan is now in a state of difficulty riding a tiger.

He was full of confidence to carry out the trick of surrender, and gathered 100,000 cavalry to attack the Qin people at night.

The 100,000 people of the grassland were full of trust in him, and they all wanted to follow Da Dan Yu to smash the Qin camp, take revenge with the blood of the Qin people, and at the same time loot again.

In this case, the first to leave the teacher is not the first to retreat.

A bunch of Qin traps scared him away, so he would have to mix in the grassland in the future.

Is he still sitting down on this son?

"It's a pity to come here, it's a pity to go, the opportunity for a night attack is not always available."

"Let's try again, if the situation is not right, we are all cavalry, and it is the grassland of the dark night, as long as you want to go, the Qin people can't stop it."

Tou Manshan comforted himself, and then looked at the twenty thousand elites of the royal court who were gathered around him.

His elite are all around, and those who attack the Qin array are all other tribes, so it doesn't hurt to try.

Tou Manshan Yu completely made up his mind, and instructed his cronies beside him: "Send me someone to send an order to Wuluxu, Xu Budang and Huyanyu, the trap of the Qin army is difficult to break, so dismount me and kill into the Qin camp!" ”

"The Hun warriors who don't have horses can also kill in the sheepfold!"

……

Where the camp of the Qin army was located, the flames were bright at the moment, and the heavily armed Qin soldiers were holding torches to escort a Qin general.

This Qin general is nearly forty years old, tall and mighty, stepping up to a high platform in the camp, climbing high and looking into the distance, looking at the firelight of the surrounding military camps and the black shadows fighting and shaking each other.

He said coldly: "The general is right, the Huns really came to attack at night. The grassland barbarians are treacherous and cunning, and if they can't be believed, they should be wiped out. ”

"What General Yang said is that the barbarians are naturally unbelievable. However, it was precisely because they had the intention of attacking at night that they gave us a chance to win. If the general can succeed, we have to thank the head man Dan Yu who came up with a plan to deceive him, hehe. ”

Li Shiqi opened his mouth with a smile.

On the high platform in front of him, standing was Yang Yuan, the commander of the North Road Division, who was ordered by General Zhao Tuo to temporarily take over the defense of the entire Qin army camp.

Yang Yuan bowed slightly, his eyes skimmed over the scene of fighting in the dark night around him, and looked at the north shrouded in night.

"General, it should be Manchester City at this time, right?"

Cervical spondylosis is committed, and the pain is in. I'll start with a chapter today and I'll make it up in two days.
