Late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the grassland is hazy.
In front of the Chinese army's tent, Qin Huaidao stood with his hands behind his hands, looking quietly at the south, deep, hazy, and unpredictable. He didn't know if he would steal the camp tonight? After sending away the village guard team, the pressure in his heart was much less. As long as Li
After Er heard the news, he would definitely take charge of the expedition himself. His top priority was to hold off the two groups of rebels.
"Can you hold it off?"
Qin Huaidao shook his head to clear his head, which was a little swollen from thinking.
Suddenly, a war horse galloped over, with the soldier on the horse crouching down. Immediately, a soldier came up to hold the horse, shouting: "No, there is an injury."
The man on horseback shouted in a weak voice: "Quick, tell the general, the enemy is attacking from the south..."
Someone immediately ran to Qin Huaidao to report the news. Qin Huaidao stepped forward quickly and saw that the opponent was hit by an arrow. It must be that the enemy sent troops to strangle the scouts in advance. This man was lucky and insisted on coming back. A burst of anger rushed to the top of his head and shouted: "Quick!
Take people down to treat the wounds and disinfect them with white wine. Su Dingfang arranges for people to pass on orders and prepare for war."
"Follow the order." Su Dingfang quickly called a few people to give instructions, and everyone dispersed.
"Bring me my armor and weapons!" Qin Huaidao shouted.
Someone rushed into the Chinese military tent to get a battle armor to help Qin Huaidao put it on, and a stainless steel horse harness. Qin Huaidao held the horse harness, majestic, and stared at the south with stern eyes. The rebels are still coming. This is a good thing, indicating that they will not
They plan to run away and fight to the end, but this is also a bad thing. It proves that they will risk their lives at any cost.
"Boom, boom--"
The galloping sound of war horses was faintly heard, very rhythmic, and there were many in number, but there were no torches. Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. Night attack is a technical job, and it is difficult to distinguish the two sides if they are mixed together. The best way is to use large torches. Although it will expose himself, but
You can also see your opponent clearly. Why don't you light a torch?
"Let's go and have a look." Qin Huaidao rolled over on the white hoofed crow and quickly rushed down the hillside, heading straight to the south.
Su Dingfang and his troops quickly followed.
The group rushed along the small passage. There was no horse pit dug in the passage to facilitate entry and exit. When they rushed to the forward position, they could vaguely see a large number of enemy troops rushing towards them. The sound of galloping horses was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth, and the earth was shaking.
The Buddha was trembling, and the gravel hiding in the grass was trembling.
The soldiers digging the trenches had already received orders to enter the fighting position. The trenches were full of people, each with their bows and arrows ready, looking warily ahead. The trenches were only half a man deep, and people inside could also see the grassland in the distance and the south.
The guard was Fang Yiai. He came over in a hurry, cupped his fists and said, "General."
"How is the morale of the soldiers?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Don't worry, General. Brothers are holding their breath. It's okay."
"That's good." Qin Huaidao nodded and continued to look forward, only to find that the enemy army suddenly changed its route and headed straight towards the water source. There were nearly ten thousand soldiers of various ethnic groups stationed there who had rebelled against the army. They fought independently and lacked unity.
command.
"Not good!" Qin Huaidao suddenly realized that the enemy's target was the rebel army. Firstly, he could kill the chickens and scare the monkeys and establish his power. Secondly, he could take advantage of the lack of unified command to catch them off guard. Thirdly, he could divert the tiger away from the mountain and lure him out of the trap.
We must dig into the position to rescue. If we don’t rescue, it will chill everyone’s hearts.
However, if troops are deployed to support, if the foreigners in the camp have any intention of rebelling, they will take the opportunity to rebel, catching themselves off guard. When the enemy troops take the opportunity to attack, the consequences will be endless.
"What a plan!"
Qin Huaidao secretly praised that there were experts among the rebels, and they were eager to win. Qin Huaidao was not afraid of discussing battlefield strategies. He suppressed his fluctuating emotions, took a deep breath to calm down, and carefully stared at the enemy in front of him at night.
The attack is no small matter. How can they identify the enemy and ourselves without lighting torches?
From a distance, there was nothing unusual about the rebels. They were all wearing leather armor and charging on war horses. Qin Huaidao said to Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, they don't use torches, how can they distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?"
"Maybe you want to rely on the moonlight? After all, large torches are troublesome. They occupy one hand and are inconvenient to use."
Qin Huaidao was noncommittal and looked at the moonlight. The visibility was pretty good. It was not a big problem at close range. If you shoot with a bow and arrow, you can't tell me. Qin Huaidao was so happy that he immediately said: "The ones rushing up don't look like the Tang army. They may be other people."
Foreign tribesmen, go and call the leaders of the four tribes."
Su Dingfang immediately arranged for someone to deliver the order.
The leaders of the four tribes had long been aware of the enemy attack and were anxious. They were afraid of misunderstanding and did not dare to run away. When they heard the order, they hurried over and saluted one after another. The leader of the Ashina tribe was quick to speak and couldn't help but said: "General, the rebels are attacking us.
People are gone, they did this deliberately, they want to warn us, please send troops to rescue quickly."
"Don't worry, everyone listen to me." Qin Huaidao interrupted quickly, and after all four people looked over, he explained: "Four leaders, look carefully, this attacking force has neither torches nor obvious signs to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
, you quickly return to your respective units, tie a white cloth around everyone's necks, and without using torches, kill them and mix with the enemy to create chaos."
If you can become the leader of a clan, you will naturally have something unique.
Troos said excitedly: "What a good idea. We are all from the grassland people. We are not much different in appearance. It is difficult to distinguish them when they are mixed together. However, we can distinguish ourselves from the enemy through the white cloth. The white cloth is obvious and easy to identify at night."
"That's right, don't attack the people around you after sneaking in. Use bows and arrows to shoot people in the distance to avoid being discovered and exposed by people around you. This is called fishing in troubled waters. After rushing up, inform your tribe to do the same to prevent chaos. I will
Send troops to intercept and kill the enemy on the outside, go ahead." Qin Huaidao warned.
Using white strips of cloth to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy can disrupt the enemy's troops, further disrupt them, and restrain the enemy. It can also mobilize foreign soldiers and horses in the camp to support them, avoid hidden dangers, and kill two birds with one stone. Anyone who dares not to go is a suspect.
The leaders of the four major tribes agreed and hurried away.
Not long after, the camp heard shouts of people and horses neighing, and then soldiers and horses from the four major tribes rushed out of the camp and rushed to rescue.
In the distance, the rebels had already begun to charge. Two groups of troops were fighting together. It was difficult to see clearly from a distance. Qin Huaidao immediately said: "Define the position and order Shi Yeshan to attack. The same half-white cloth strips were tied around the neck. Harassment tactics were used. No confrontation was allowed."
The enemy fights head-on."
"Obey the order!" Su Dingfang quickly arranged for someone to deliver the order.
Qin Huaidao kept looking at the identity of the rebels. He saw that there must be thirty thousand people in size. Thirty thousand people would be more than enough to attack ten thousand people. However, there were hundreds of thousands of enemies. It was obvious that a large number of troops were hidden somewhere and were watching eagerly, waiting to pounce on him if he made a mistake.
, then it depends on who plots against whom.
Soon, Shi Yeshan led the cavalry and rushed out. With a big bow in hand, he slashed hard at the rear of the rebels like a scimitar. However, he did not cut in, but cut out an arc around the outside. Arrows were flying, and the enemy was hit.
Very decisive.
A round of attacks took away many rebels. The army turned around and looked at each other. Like a sharp circular blade, it whirled over again and slashed hard again. By the time the rebels sent out soldiers and horses to pursue them, the army had already left.
The rebels were angry and sent a large army in hot pursuit. Shi Yeshan gave an order, and the formation quickly dispersed. Like sparrows snatching food, they were frightened. The rebels didn't know who to chase, so they just dispersed and chased them.
, Shi Yeshan's army was already used to this style of fighting, and didn't care. They hit their horses and ran wildly, attracting the enemy to leave.
The army of 5,000 people invisibly attracted nearly 10,000 people to block the attack, and the remaining 20,000 people continued to attack. However, the pressure on each tribe was greatly reduced, and the two sides fought together. For a while, no one could do anything to the other.
Qin Huaidao watched this scene silently, smiled, and shouted: "Su Dingfang."
"The end is here!"
"Instruct Li Yixie, the Chinese Army, to dispatch a thousand men to chase and kill the enemies who have been lured out. Don't disperse the troops. The big fish will eat the small fish. Assist Shi Yeshan to kill those 10,000 people for me." Qin Huaidao shouted murderously, the Chinese army is all
Each of the Yulin Guards has repeating crossbows, and one thousand of them can exert the lethality of five thousand.
The rebels who are being chased are scattered widely. Shi Yeshan's people are familiar with harassment tactics and will continue to divide their troops. The enemy can only continue to divide their troops to pursue them. In the end, they will probably be divided into dozens of people and a thousand people will rush forward and crush them absolutely.
, and the people of Shi Yeshan will draw the enemy over when they see the reinforcements.
The order was quickly conveyed, and a thousand people rushed out of the camp and headed straight for the rebels.
Qin Huaidao stared ahead unblinkingly, not knowing what the outcome of the battle would be. What had to be done had been done, and the next step was to wait. He could not divide his troops any further, otherwise the camp would not be safe.
Time passes minute by minute.
There were shouts of killing in the distance, but Qin Huaidao remained indifferent. As a general, he must not panic when facing a battle, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army. After observing for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Ding Fang, go ask the scouts if they have found any rebels.
