Zhao Youlin was born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the Tang Dynasty.
Naturally, he knew everything about the Tang Dynasty, and he also knew the tactics and tactics of war very well.
Of course, he could not have imagined that the Tang Dynasty would send soldiers to attack his granary.
If not, he would not throw 10,000 people to control the granary at Yumen Pass.
Don't look at the comparison between these 10,000 horses and 100,000 people, but they seem a bit underwhelming.
But you must know that this is a real war, not a black and white thing on a chessboard.
The collision between hundreds of thousands of people is no joke.
In this kind of war, every step taken by the coach is closely related to the life of every soldier.
If the commander makes a stupid decision, he may kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire army.
And the more this happens, the less likely it is that the two armies will take action.
That's why he dared to set up a granary here.
One of the purposes is naturally to supply the troops.
Secondly, there is naturally the intention to seduce Datang to send people for a sneak attack.
In addition, of course, there is also a sense of mocking the Tang Dynasty.
I, Zhao Youlin, have placed the granary in such an obvious position, why don't you dare to make a sneak attack?
From this, it is not difficult to see Zhao Youlin's confidence.
After all, 10,000 people are in charge here. If the opponent wants to break through, they will need at least 30,000 to 50,000 people.
But if the Tang Dynasty had more than 30,000 to 50,000 people dispatched, the Western Turkic scout team would definitely discover it immediately.
At that time, no matter whether the frontline troops of the Western Turks attack the Tang camp directly or divide their forces to return for reinforcements, the Tang Dynasty will be the passive party.
However, he may have overlooked a very important thing.
That is, there was Li Chengqian in the Tang Dynasty...
…
Night falls.
Darkness covers the earth.
The soldiers in the camp and on the top of the city at Yumen Pass lit bonfires.
Outside the city and the camp, there were also soldiers with torches patrolling everywhere. Seeing this, Li Chongyi slowly stood up from the sand.
Ba Tianlei asked: "General, what should we do now?"
"What do you think?"
Li Chongyi pouted forward and said: "The camp is full of barns. It doesn't take much to get to fifty steps, light these fifty clay jars and throw them in, and we will win."
He had seen the power of this thing the last time he was in the Xi Tribe.
If these fifty clay jars could be thrown in, the granary would surely be set on fire.
At that time, they don't need to fight head-on with each other, they just need to stop the Western Turkic sergeants from putting out the fire.
When the fire is out of control, they can retreat.
His idea is good, but whether it can succeed or not depends on God's will.
"clear!"
Ba Tianlei nodded in agreement, and then went down to order the soldiers.
At this time, Li Chongyi had already taken the lead in heading towards the camp.
He was holding the handle of the knife with one hand and holding a clay jar filled with H medicine in the other hand.
His speed was very fast, like a civet cat in the dark, and he was less than a hundred steps away from the enemy camp almost instantly.
Then, he imitated the way a wild animal hunts, lying on the ground and crawling forward.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty behind him also followed suit and imitated his actions.
However, these Bashu soldiers and Xiangyang soldiers had not received special training after all, and they were quickly discovered by the patrolling soldiers of the Western Turks.
A soldier drew out his steel knife and shouted in the direction of the sound: "Who is it?"
It's a pity that he spoke his hometown dialect.
None of the Tang people in front of me could understand.
However, his actions said it all.
and
Seeing that he was exposed, Li Chongyi did not hesitate, drew out his steel knife, rushed forward and chopped off the head of the Western Turkic sergeant.
Immediately afterwards, he waved the steel knife, raised his arms and shouted: "Kill!"
Seeing that his own generals no longer hide.
How could the other soldiers hesitate?
A group of Tang soldiers, led by Li Chongyi, penetrated the enemy camp like sharp arrows.
The earthen altar was sealed with rags dipped in fire oil.
This stuff catches fire and burns very quickly.
After Li Chongyi grabbed one more person's torch, he directly lit the earth altar in his hand and threw the rear wheel arm into the camp.
Boom!
A loud noise like thunder suddenly came from the ground.
A ball of flame also suddenly appeared in the camp.
This clay altar had already been improved by Li Chengqian.
In order to increase the lethality, in addition to stones, a lot of kerosene was also poured into it.
Therefore, the moment the clay altar exploded, it really shot out in all directions like a meteor from the sky.
The desert is inherently dry, so the moment the flames fell on the barn, a raging fire broke out.
At this time, Li Chongyi also threw in the second wine jar.
Boom!
There was another explosion.
These two sounds, like thunder on the ground, shook the Western Turkic soldiers inside to the point of almost losing their souls.
And these things really work.
The Tang soldiers behind them no longer hesitated and ran to the bonfire one after another, lit the rags in front of the wine jar and threw them into the camp.
The moment more than fifty earth jars filled with H medicine were thrown into the camp, a huge sound was heard in the camp where the Western Turks used to store food and grass, accompanied by balls of fire.
And these barbarians in front of me, when had they seen this thing? And when had they seen this scene?
The Western Turks were killed on the spot Yes, some were penetrated by fragments of the earth altar, and some were burned to death...
At that moment, they just thought that there were soldiers and generals descending from heaven, and many of them even forgot about fighting back.
And this also gave the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty the opportunity to wield their steel swords as much as they wanted to harvest the lives of their enemies.
Li Chongyi ran forward, picked up a few torches from the ground and threw them into the opponent's grain pile.
Upon seeing this, a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty spontaneously divided into two teams.
One team held torches and set fires everywhere, while the other team prevented the Wu soldiers from putting out the fires.
There was too much food and grass stored here, the weather was dry, and the fire was so fierce that it soon spread to all the grain piles and haystacks.
The scorching hot air waves are simply unbearable for ordinary people.
Some of the soldiers of the two soldiers who were unfortunately affected by the rising flames could not escape the burning flames.
A series of pitiful screams fell in people's ears, making their scalp numb.
There is no room for people in this camp. If they stay any longer, they will be burned to death.
But the fire has started and can no longer be controlled.
After Li Chongyi swung the knife in his hand and killed several people, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight out!"
Then, he took the lead and rushed to the front of the battle line with his sword in hand, and jumped into the Western Turkic troops who came to support after hearing the sound.
The rest of the soldiers followed closely behind, and before the enemy army formed an encirclement, they killed them directly from the opponent's array...
…
Outside Hecang City, Datang Camp.
Looking at the fire and the billowing smoke in the direction of Yumen Pass, Li Ji was overjoyed.
They knew that Li Chongyi succeeded and the Western Turks' granary was burned down.
A general also said excitedly: "General, do you want me to go down and gather the entire army to attack the Turkic camp at night?"
"hold on."
Li Jizhi said: "When they become chaotic, we will attack again..."
