Chapter 2005: The whole world is drunk and I am alone awake
The night gradually fell, and the drizzle finally stopped, but the air was still filled with damp and cold water vapor, which was blown by the howling north wind, chilling the bones.
The wasteland is dim, with dead weeds wetted by rain, and they are messy and uneven. From time to time, hares and other small animals shuttle through it, stirring up the weeds and making a rustling sound.
This is the only sound between heaven and earth...
In Nuoda's camp, it was as if a devil had cast a spell. Everything turned into rocks. No one moved or spoke. Only the flames of candles in the tents were blown by the cold wind.
Flickering and erratic...
Under a slope to the west of the camp, a large figure was shrouded in the vast darkness of the night, completely dark, but making no sound.
All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have withdrawn from their tents and are waiting in formation again!
Two thousand warriors were fully armed and ready, their eyes glowing with cold light and filled with the flames of hatred, just waiting for the arrogant and cruel Turks to plunge into this huge pocket!
On the way home, the Turks brutally killed dozens of scouts, which made all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion furious!
There is nothing more cruel and more hateful than a wanderer who has lost the opportunity to embrace family affection forever on the way home. The corpses, from warm-blooded and cheerful to cold and silent, filled the entire Shenji Camp with a sense of hatred.
Angry flames!
They want revenge!
Fang Jun was sitting in the middle of the array, with a wooden box under his buttocks, and was protected by personal guards on both sides.
His eyes were clear and bright, looking at the dark night sky in the distance, feeling a little worried.
Logically speaking, now is the last chance for the Turks to annihilate the Shenji Battalion, and there is no reason for the Turks to let it go.
Three hundred miles away is Yumen Pass. In the case of a hasty march, it can be entered in three days. The Turks did not dare to approach Yumen Pass because they had eaten the courage of leopards.
And along the way, the Turks unscrupulously carried out this move that undermined the confidence and will of the Shenji Camp. Like a cat chasing away a mouse, they chased the Shenji Camp as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. They did not dare to stay even for a moment and fought hard.
Fleeing eastward...
Tonight, it happens to be cloudy and rainy, the weather is wet and cold, the weather is right, the location is favorable, and no one and no one is here at Shenji Camp.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Turks who are following behind will definitely attack with all their strength, trying to defeat the Shenji Camp in one fell swoop!
This was the conclusion deduced by Fang Jun and Liu Rengui. Both of them believed that this and that were inseparable, so they set up a dragnet for tonight, waiting for the Turks to rush in with the confidence of victory...
But will the Turks really come?
Xi Junmai, who was beside him, swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Master Marquis, are the Turks coming back?"
Fang Jun glanced at him. Facing the upcoming fierce battle, this boy not only showed no trace of nervousness and timidity, but his eyes were bright, inexplicably excited, and eager to try!
He smiled and said softly: "I'll definitely come!"
On the other side, Liu Rengui wiped the horizontal knife in his hand. Although the blade was as bright as snow, he still wiped it with a silk handkerchief. After hearing this, he said in a low voice: "The Turks chased us all the way like a cat playing with a mouse.
How is it possible to let us in at the last moment? Tonight is the best time to annihilate us!"
No one in the Shenji Camp was willing to flee back to Guanzhong in such a dejected manner. The Turkic cavalry behind them had already caused a blood feud among the soldiers of the Shenji Camp. Everyone was united and vowed to leave them on this ancient silk road forever.
They will never be able to return to the grasslands and deserts where they roam freely!
However, on the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing, and no conclusion is absolute. All inferences may change unexpectedly due to some unobservable factors, and plans can never catch up with changes.
But Fang Jun is not willing to give in!
Just in front of him, he killed so many brothers who followed him through life and death, and then he had to watch the murderer walk free while he escaped in despair?
However, the mobility of the Shenji Battalion could not be better than that of the Turkic cavalry, so he could only keep showing off his weakness to the enemy, and finally found such a perfect battlefield and perfect timing, waiting for the Turks.
Deliver it to your door yourself!
There was a dull sound of horse hooves, and the "puff" of the hoofbeats was like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of all the soldiers!
Liu Rengui shouted: "One of our own!"
The already somewhat noisy array suddenly became quiet, and everyone felt inexplicably relieved.
Although I firmly believe that the Turks can be annihilated once by the Puchang Sea, this time the Turks will definitely be unable to come or go, but I am still nervous. There were only a thousand Turkic cavalry last time. Who knew that the Turks suffered a big loss and realized the magic plan?
After increasing the combat strength of the battalion, how many cavalry will be sent this time?
A scout on horseback rushed not far in front of the array. The scout on the horse jumped off the war horse with leather-wrapped hooves. He quickly ran in front of the array with agile steps and shouted: "Here we come!"
"Wow"
There was a sound of weapons rubbing against each other in the array.
Fang Jun stood up from the formation and asked, "How many people are there?"
"No less than three thousand cavalry! They are coming from the west. They should have been following us. We haven't picked up the speed yet. After about half a stick of incense, we will arrive five miles west of the camp. If we make a little adjustment, we will definitely launch a full-scale surprise attack.
!”
The scouts were eloquent and expressed the enemy's situation clearly.
"Where are the other scouts?"
"According to the strategy planned by the Marquis, all spread out in all directions to keep track of the Turks' movements at any time!"
"Okay!" Fang Jun waved his fist fiercely!
Showing weakness to the enemy along the way turned out to be a correct bet...
Turk bastards, this time, you will have to come and go!
Fang Jun shouted: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy, no one is allowed to make a sound!"
No one responded, but there was a thick and thick murderous aura that spread over the damp and cold wasteland, so substantial that it was so oppressive that people could not breathe!
Thousands of people were waiting in formation, but there was no sound. Only the cold wind blew through their robes, making a fierce sound.
The feeling of waiting is the most unbearable...
Until a dull roar like a drum came from the dark horizon, and the whole army couldn't help but feel nervous and refreshed!
The overwhelming sound of horse hooves was like rolling muffled thunder in the sky, getting closer and closer, and the ground under my feet was shaken and shaken by this surging and domineering momentum, just like a landslide and a crack in the earth!
For a moment, a black line suddenly appeared in the dim night, and the black shadows were like the demon god emerging from the hell, coming to the world with a violent and ferocious momentum, wanting to devour all living creatures in the world and destroy everything!
Getting closer and closer, the rain-like sound of horse hooves sounded like countless huge leather drums beating in the ears of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, shaking the eardrums and shocking the hearts.
In the quiet camp, there were two soldiers left in each tent. At this time, they ignited the flammable objects prepared in advance, and fled from the tent, deliberately letting out shrill screams, pretending that the entire camp was in chaos.
Illusion, and then quickly evacuated eastward to attract the Turkic cavalry!
Fang Jun's eyes were intense, staring closely at the charging line of the Turkic cavalry. When he saw that the enemy had rushed into the camp with an unstoppable force like a flood, some of them spread out and searched tents one by one, while others continued to charge without stopping.
Chasing after the fleeing soldiers.
Seeing the heat rising, Fang Jun shouted loudly: "Light the fire!"
The two soldiers, who had been waiting at the edge of the river for a long time, quickly lit the fire sticks in their hands after hearing this, and used the flames to ignite a thick piece of fuse.
The fuse was an ordinary three-strand "Zhentian Lei" fuse twisted together, with a sufficient amount of flammable medicine. As soon as it was ignited by the flame, a stream of sparks appeared and burned "chichi". The other side of the fuse
One end was buried in a shallow trench dug in advance under the sand, and covered with wooden boards to prevent it from being soaked by rain and to prevent people from stepping on it and breaking the lead wires.
The fuse burned "chichi", and the sparks burrowed under the sand, quickly thinking about burning the camp in the distance...
At this time, the military tent in the camp was already ablaze.
The Turks did not think that the Tang army's fire energy could still exert its power in such weather. As for the formation formed by the infantry, without the assistance of fire energy, wouldn't it be broken up in a rush?
Except for a small number of arrogant Turkic cavalry who separated to search the camp, most of them did not stop at all and chased after the Tang soldiers.
They were riding on horseback, with their legs in stirrups, their bodies hanging in the air, holding reins in one hand and a knife in the other. They made strange screams of "hehehe" from their mouths, and came with the force of wind and clouds...
