Chapter 509: Ambush soldiers rise at night to make meritorious deeds
Outside Hanshui City, Huangshagang
In a sand hill, half of the tent was almost buried in the sand.
Shablite wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and drank the water in the water bag in one gulp. Only then did he feel his thirst was slightly quenched, and the anger in his chest dissipated a lot.
"Grandma, it's almost winter, but it's still so hot here in Huangshagang!"
The deputy general next to him looked outside the camp and sounded a little uneasy.
"Sir, the terrain of Huangshagang is special. Even in winter, if it is exposed to direct sunlight, the heat will be unbearable."
"Sir, I'm waiting to set up a tent here. If the Han army discovers it, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Shablite's expression changed and he snorted coldly.
"In this sky full of yellow sand, our tent is also yellow. Even the vultures in the sky may not be able to see our tent, let alone the human eye. Don't worry."
"Besides, the Han army has not yet established a stable foothold. It is the time to stabilize Hanshui City. Even if the Wugu protrusion is useless, it will still be delayed for several hours. When it gets dark, the Han army will be even less likely to discover us."
"When the time comes, we use the secret passage to enter the city and activate the preset traps. The birds and crossbows of the Han army will be useless. By then, even the King of Heaven, I, will not be able to escape the scimitar of my warrior Rouran."
Seeing that Shablite was full of confidence, the general didn't say anything anymore. He just walked restlessly back and forth in the camp, looking at the sky from time to time, hoping that the sun would set soon.
As the sun sets in the west, Huangshagang is not that hot, but the temperature drops quickly. In just two hours, the air becomes cold.
Shablite looked at the sun setting in the west, and finally reached the time he hoped for.
"Get the army together, pack up your gear, and get ready to go."
Following the military orders, the Rouran soldiers who were ambushing in the yellow sand got up one after another, took out their armor from the sand, and took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to help each other and put on their armor.
As night fell, Rouran soldiers in full armor arrived outside Hanshui City.
Shabulit waved his hand, and the vanguard crouched behind a hillside, looking at the head of Hanshui City from a distance.
On the top of the city, armored guards walked back and forth, torches were burning, and the entire city was brightly lit.
"The Han army is heavily guarded. If we attack by force, we will definitely not get a good result."
Shabulit said to the general next to him.
The general smiled and said: "Our general has already made a plan to make a surprise attack at night, and he also made a surprise attack from inside the city, so that the Han army could not care about each other inside and outside, and defeated the Han army in one blow."
Shablite glanced at the night sky. The moon had already risen in the east sky. After another hour, it would be midnight.
"The whole army ate and drank water, then discarded their baggage and dry food and prepared to enter the city via tunnels."
Shabulit ordered.
The Rouran soldiers took off their armor and began to eat, but they did not dare to light a fire. They just gnawed on the dry and hard pancakes, drank cold water, and chewed the hard pancakes one bite at a time.
Shablite finished chewing the hard cake, untied the cloth strip on his hand, tied the handle of the knife to his hand, bit the end of the cloth with his teeth and tied a knot, then danced a few times, and felt that it was in his hand, and then sat down again
, recharge your batteries and wait for dawn.
A figure bent over and sat down next to Shabulit.
"Brother, I always feel like something is wrong."
The person who came was Shabuligang, Shabulit's younger brother. He was quite clever. Shabulit was able to escape from Zheng Kai's hands, and Shabuligang contributed a lot.
Shablite was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "Agon, what did you think of?"
Shabuligang said in a dull tone: "Most of our tribal troops are gone. Hebeli allocated us 10,000 Black Fish King soldiers and asked us to attack the Han army through a secret passage. I always feel that something is wrong."
"The Han army is not easy to deal with. We suffered a big loss in Yumen and were defeated by Su Lu in a battle. We didn't even have a chance to fight back and were driven back by the Han army like they were slaughtering sheep. I always feel that He Bai
Lee must have an ulterior motive for keeping us here."
"He wanted to take away the gathered population and not leave them behind for the Han army."
Shablite said with a bit of anger in his tone. He Baili's tribe was gathering benefits in the front, but he wanted to fight life and death from behind. But what could be done? His tribe's army was completely destroyed in Yumen.
Baili allocated 10,000 Black Fish King soldiers to himself. If he dared to disobey the order, these 10,000 Black Fish King soldiers could kill him.
Shabuligang shook his head: "I always feel that more than that, Hebry is not a short-sighted person. I don't think he meant to take away all the cattle, sheep and people when he left."
Shablite chuckled: "That's great. When we defeat the Han army and turn back to gather the cattle and sheep population, within five years, most of our troops will still be in Rouran."
Shabuligan's attention was diverted, and he could no longer remember what was wrong.
"Let's go, attack the city and defeat the Han army in Hanshui City. Then we will go out to gather the population and prepare to drive back to our clan."
Shabulit urged his brother to speak.
All the Rouran soldiers stood up, opened the entrance to the secret passage, filed in one by one, got into the secret passage, and headed towards Hanshui City along the secret passage.
The secret passage is low and cramped, only one person can pass through, and the spear cannot stand upright.
"arrive"
The sergeant in front brought the news.
Shablite asked and said: "There are abnormalities found around the exit. Are there any Han troops stationed nearby?"
"No, there's no sound or even lights nearby. The Han army probably didn't take a fancy to our exit."
The sergeant answered.
Shablite was overjoyed. It was done. The Han army didn't find the exit, so this sneak attack was half done.
"Go out one by one and don't make any noise. According to the pre-planned plan, you will lead five thousand troops in Shabuligang to attack the governor's mansion. You will lead three thousand troops in guarding Dagang and move around the city with a loud noise. I will personally carry the sword.
, killed the prince of the Han army, Su Lu."
Shabulit was furious and wanted to avenge the death of his own tribal army.
After exiting the tunnel, when Shabulit was about to divide his troops, Shabulit in front suddenly screamed strangely.
"No, there's an ambush."
The next moment, a shouting sound rang out in the dark night.
More than a dozen torches were thrown out, and a pile of firewood in front of Shablite was ignited. It instantly turned into a big fire, and the area around the tunnel entrance instantly became brighter.
"shoot arrows"
Amidst the creaking sound of bowstrings, countless crossbow arrows were shot out from the dark night, falling like rainwater and covering the Rouran soldiers around the tunnel entrance.
"Withdraw it, withdraw it."
Shablite yelled and cursed. The Han army had obviously discovered the entrance to the tunnel and deliberately set up an ambush. How many people could escape this time depended on how many people could get into the tunnel.
"kill"
After the Han army finished shooting their arrows, a large group of Han soldiers rushed out from the dark night and surrounded the Rouran soldiers, who were more than half dead and wounded.
In the distance, the royal court of Turnan and the Zuoermu flag.
The soldiers of the Rouran Blackfish King are marching north.
The general in armor asked Hebeli who was standing by the road: Your Majesty, since Shabulit ambushed the Han army, why should we evacuate in such a hurry? If Shabulit defeated the Han army, we would not be able to share the credit.
."
Hebali glanced at the general who was speaking and sneered:
"Shabulit's ambush was good. If the Han army was not prepared, they would definitely win."
"But so what, the Han army is not easy to deal with. With birds and ballistae, Shabulit cannot escape the result of defeat."
"Besides, Su Lu is like a god with his troops, and Shabulit's tunnel ambush may not necessarily result in success."
