Chapter 192, Attack on a Snowy Night
The night shrouded the grassland, and the lake was as quiet as a shining orb, lying quietly in the sky. A light night mist surrounded the lake, and a beautiful song came from the tent in the distance, with ripples from time to time, which seemed a bit strange.
Lonely and cold.
A row of huge lanterns was erected outside the tent, illuminating the garrison soldiers through the mist. Inside the tent, Qin Bashan sat on the big chair and fell asleep soundly. The five guests from Yinshan also slept drunkenly. Guests from Shaluo were so drunk that their eyes were filled with smoke.
Looking at the singing woman and her snow-white skin, she was afraid of Qin Bashan and did not dare to be presumptuous.
There was no moon, no starlight, and the whole tribe was in a deep sleep.
Inadvertently, a faint sound of horse hooves came from the south, like a row of light hammers beating on the big drum on the grassland. The guards outside the tent rubbed their sleepy eyes and listened carefully. The sound of horse hooves suddenly amplified for a moment, making it obvious that they were far away.
Not far from the big tent!
When the guards came to their senses, a group of war horses with flying manes suddenly appeared on the dark grassland. On the horseback were officers and soldiers holding high swords and spears! The red tassels pierced the darkness, and the horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the earth!
The leading officer was Wang Er, Shan Yudao's deputy general. He was waving a big sword and led the vanguard to attack.
At this time, Qin Bashan and the five guests from Yinshan opened their sleepy eyes. Qin Bashan grabbed the iron gun and rushed out of the tent and shouted: "What's going on!" The guard reported urgently: "It's Cheng Wuting who's attacking us!"
Qin Bashan shouted: "Quickly order the leaders to organize a counterattack, and the guards will come to protect you!" Without his instructions, the five guests from Yinshan mounted their horses and charged at Wang Er.
Wang Er led this light cavalry with a bow in one hand and a prancing horse to shoot. Poorly, these Turkic soldiers who woke up in the middle of the night were mostly killed by fast arrows from their fast horses. The officers and soldiers behind them swung their swords and killed them until they cried for their fathers and mothers. Seeing that,
When they reached Shan Yu's tent dozens of feet away, Wang Er shouted: "Capture Qin Bashan alive!"
The five guests from Yinshan clearly saw that Wang Ertu was at the forefront, and dozens of Tang troops seemed to be in a deserted area. Sha Luo Ke shouted strangely: "Capture this officer, the city lord will reward you!" The five men went against the retreating soldiers to kill. Qin
Bashan also shouted: "Capture him alive and reward him with the title of Jiao Niang!" Jiao Niang was the female attendant who served him in the tent.
As soon as the reward order was issued, the desire in the hearts of a group of desperate soldiers was ignited. They followed the Five Guests from Yinshan and counterattacked together. When the two teams clashed, the offensive of the officers and soldiers was curbed. They could see Shan Yu's tent, but they could not move forward.
further!
The Guards everywhere came to their senses and gradually launched a counterattack. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were exhausted, they heard another burst of thunderous horse hooves in the distance, and the shouts of killing began again. A powerful voice overwhelmed all the fighting sounds and shouted:
"Those who resist will be killed, those who disarm will live!"
A middle-aged majestic officer charged forward on horseback with a long sword held high, followed by a mass of black cavalry from the Tang Dynasty. After that, there was a sea of fire, with countless officers and soldiers holding torches, fighting on foot.
The battlefield that had seen a turn for the better was once again relaxed. Sha Luo Ke was jealous when he heard a machete shouting in his ear: "Brothers, hurry up, it's Cheng Wuting's main force who has arrived!"
Qin Bashan kicked down the girl next to him and shouted: "Don't retreat!" Then he got on his horse and rushed into the battlefield, stabbing an escaping soldier to death with one shot. With the machete, he retreated with the five guests from Yinshan, shouting: "
If you want to live, don’t leave, haha.”
Those guards were the most ferocious troops in Qin Bashan, but they were disturbed by this night attack and lost all fighting spirit. In addition, Cheng Wuting's cavalry was extremely fast, and they defeated the defense line in one fell swoop and penetrated deep into Shanyu's tent.
No one could have imagined when Cheng Wuting would add so many cavalry, and the army would reach Qin Bashan's doorstep overnight!
Qin Bashan looked inside the big tent behind him. He saw that the singing girls and beauties were fleeing to the north one after another, their hair disheveled and in a state of embarrassment. In the south, a large group of cavalry led by Cheng Wuting had already joined Wang Er's vanguard, killing the soldiers who had no time to mount their horses and escape.
.He knew that his ace elite had been defeated, and countless tribes of people had been lit with torches and attacked, and there was no way to send reinforcements.
He sighed deeply, gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and fled to the north with the Five Guests from Yinshan...
