Some people's horses were still drinking water by the river. When they ran over and just mounted their horses, before they had time to launch a charge, a thousand Sui cavalry roared in, and dense arrows were sprayed. One-third of the Turkic soldiers
They all screamed and fell off their horses, but as soon as the remaining horses started to run, the Sui army bumped into them.
This was a war with no disparity. The five hundred Turkic cavalry quickly began to rout. Half an hour later, except for the nearly 100 people who abandoned herdsmen, cattle and sheep, and fled with food and grass, all of them, including the herdsmen, were killed.
.
The Turkic Sui troops who fled did not pursue them, so Captain Du ordered the grain and grass to be burned and began to slaughter cattle and sheep. The blood stained the grassland and the Wenfeng River red. When the corpses of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were put together with the grain and grass, a fire broke out. Du Du
The captain gave an order, and the Sui cavalry, which had lost only more than thirty people, turned their horses and headed southeast. Fifty miles away, there was another Western Turk team escorting grain and grass.
Half a day later in the evening, when the Turks were dismounting to rest and cook, a thousand Sui army cavalry in the bushes suddenly rushed out from a nearby grove and launched a sneak attack.
Within one day, two teams delivering food and grass were intercepted, which meant that the 160,000 Turkic army in Jincheng County would be without food for two days. Chuluo Khan sent people to investigate and question, and the person in charge of the logistics base learned about it from the Turkic soldiers who escaped.
The Sui army made a sneak attack on the grain road, and then sent two grain delivery teams escorted by 2,500 cavalry, driving 100,000 cattle and sheep to Jincheng County.
As a result, there were only 5,000 Turkic cavalry left out of 10,000 in the Turkic logistics camp.
At the same time, the letter eagle sent by Captain Du also brought news that the Turkic food route had been cut off, and the opportunity Wang Junlin had been waiting for finally came.
In the eleventh year of Daye, on September 1st, the moon rose late, but the night sky was full of stars. With the illumination of stars, an army of 3,500 people marched in the vast wilderness near Wenfeng River. It was pitch dark.
At night, without any firelight, it would be difficult to spot this quietly moving army unless observed at close range.
After careful consideration, Wang Junlin decided to adopt a night attack strategy.
According to Wang Junlin's request, no one held up torches. They held up fires at night and walked at night. They could be seen from a long distance, so they could only move forward by starlight.
Wang Junlin personally led Wu San and Wu Si to the front. If they encountered a wandering sentry or a lurking sentry, with the strength of Wu San, Wu Si and Wang Junlin, they could completely attack them before the enemy could react.
Then kill him.
Thirty-five hundred people formed an irregular prismatic shape and were divided into four groups. Marching in this formation, it can quickly change into several battle formations, which is simple and direct.
Walking at the front was the scout team led by Zhou Hu and several soldiers beside Wang Junlin who were responsible for delivering orders, also leading horses and walking forward.
After Wang Junlin set off with 3,500 people, he reasonably distributed his physical strength, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, intersecting normal speed and emergency driving. He did not take any rest in between, but he walked nearly thirty miles in the dark and was only slightly tired.
That's all.
As they approached the Turkic logistics camp, the Sui army behind them would see corpses in twos and threes faintly visible on the roadside from time to time. That was when they encountered Turkic wandering posts and lurking posts at night, and Wu San and Wu Si quietly intercepted them as soon as possible.
A silent beheading.
At the same time, Jiang Muchang, the deputy centurion of the scout team, was carrying a waterproof leather bag and slowly swam in the Wenfeng River from the north bank to the south bank, where there was a Turkic logistics camp that was seven or eight miles long. Behind him were fifty more people.
soldiers in the same uniform.
At the same time, there were forty-five people in the group swimming towards the other side. Except for Jiang Mulang's group, which had fifty people because it faced the general's tent in charge of the Turkic Logistics Camp, the others were ten.
There are groups of people. There is a group almost every 100 meters.
Although it is in the north, it is not difficult to select 500 soldiers with good water ability out of 4,000 people. What's more, although the Wenfeng River is nearly 100 meters wide, the water depth is only more than 20 meters in the middle to cover the head.
That's all.
The cowhide bags they were carrying were sewn very firmly, and the gaps were filled with rosin. They were also covered with two layers of oil paper to make them watertight. There were bows, arrows and kerosene inside.
There would be noise if they swam too fast, so in order to prevent the night patrol sentries from the Turkic Logistics Camp opposite from discovering them, they swam very slowly. With a width of nearly 100 meters, they swam for a quarter of an hour before reaching the shore.
.
Forty-six teams and five hundred soldiers crossed the river. They did not take action immediately. Instead, they looked for hiding places, prepared rockets and flints, and waited for Jiang Murang's team to take the lead before they could take action. Jiang Murang then
After crossing the river, he and the forty-nine people he led stared at the south. He was waiting for Wang Junlin to lead the main force to arrive and send him the agreed signal.
The water and grass along the river are dense, so as long as you don't move or make any noise, you don't have to worry about being exposed.
This is not to say that the defense of the Turkic Logistics Camp is loose. On the contrary, because the food road was robbed, the defense of the Turkic Logistics Camp has also been improved a lot. There are patrol posts on the south, east, and west sides patrolling day and night, just because the north is next to Wenzhou.
Fenghe, so no patrols were dispatched, only a small number of fixed sentries were arranged. However, they subconsciously thought that no enemy would be able to cross the river and make a sneak attack, so they relaxed their vigilance.
…
As they got closer and closer to the Turkic logistics camp, the Sui soldiers became a little nervous and became more vigilant. Wang Junlin also kept pricking up his ears to pay attention to the movements around him, and at the same time, he kept looking around.
The road they are walking on is the route that was determined after repeated reconnaissance by scouts in the past few days. Wang Junlin and his people considered various factors and carefully studied the route. The road is relatively flat, but it is difficult for ordinary people to walk at night under the light of the stars and the moon.
Among them, if you are not careful, you will trip over the rocks and mounds, but the army is not an ordinary person after all. In addition, Wang Junlin and Wu San and Wu Si are leading the way in person. The people behind only need to watch the person in front move.
position, and then step on that position yourself, so that you don't have to spend energy to choose the place to step, and you won't guess the wrong place.
The army stopped and walked in the wilderness. Along the way, Wu San and Wu Si killed more than a dozen Turkic sentries. Finally, they were less than five miles away from the Turkic Logistics Camp. They could vaguely see the lights of the Turkic Logistics Camp in the distance. Everyone
The mood was exciting with a little nervousness.
However, after walking nearly fifty miles now, and everyone was a little nervous, and the physical exertion was greater, everyone finally began to feel tired, and the breathing in the queue gradually became heavier.
When they were eight hundred steps closer to the Turkic camp, Wang Junlin gave the order to stop and passed the order back one person after another. After passing the baton like a baton, the group finally stopped gradually and the messy footsteps disappeared.
Wang Junlin calculated the time and made a downward gesture beside him. The 3,500 Sui soldiers held the horses with one hand and sat down in a slightly messy manner. They took out the accompanying water bags to drink water and fed the horses with beans and water.
, and then quietly tidied up his gear and weapons, calmed his horse, and prepared for the final rest before the battle.
Everyone squatted in the wilderness and waited in the night wind and the chirping of insects. After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Wang Junlin saw that everyone had recovered a lot of physical strength, and whispered an order to the back: "Pass back, prepare to charge, from
From now on, before rushing into the enemy's camp, you are not allowed to speak, and anyone who speaks will be killed immediately."
After the order was conveyed to everyone, Wang Junlin waved his hand, and everyone stood up gently and quietly mounted their horses, but Wang Junlin still did not give the order to charge.
It was already late at night, and except for the mobile sentries patrolling the camp, the Turks were already fast asleep in their tents.
"Send the predetermined signal and do it three times." Wang Junlin said.
Zhou Hu personally lit a torch and asked someone to control the horse. He stood on the horse and circled three times towards the north. Wang Junlin and the others were much higher than where they were by the river, and they didn't have to worry about Jiang Murang watching while standing on the horse.
Missing. As for the Turkic night sentry, even if he saw it, it was too late. What's more, in the middle of the night, unless the Turkic sentry kept staring in this direction, it would only take one second to send a signal. Who would be able to pay attention.
On the bank of the river north of the Turkic Logistics Camp, Jiang Murang and his group of 500 people had been waiting for a quarter of an hour. Jiang Murang was afraid of missing the signal sent by Wang Junlin, so he stared at the hillside on the other side of the Turkic Camp without moving his eyes.
Dare to blink, so that the tears blown by the wind will flow down.
At this time, just when he couldn't help but blink, he saw the circle of torches. Jiang Murang was shocked, his heart was pounding with nervousness, and he whispered: "Get ready to fire rockets."
The soldiers had already soaked the cloth on the long arrows with kerosene, and now they slowly climbed ashore, crawling towards the Turkic camp little by little, and stopped when they were still eighty steps away from the Turkic camp.
"shoot!"
Jiang Mulang let out a low shout and took the lead in shooting the rocket in his hand towards the Turkic camp, followed by the others.
The other forty-five teams kept staring at the movement in the middle. When they saw the fire appearing, they also fired the rockets they had been preparing for a long time.
Five hundred rockets soared into the sky one after another, covering nearly half of the tents of the Turkic camp that was seven or eight miles long. Each rocket accurately hit the target. Soon, thousands of tents were set alight almost at the same time.
"on fire!"
"No, it's an enemy attack."
Turkic soldiers on night patrol saw fire and smoke billowing from a large number of tents in the north and screamed.
At the same time, on the hillside 800 meters away to the south, Wang Junlin saw fire appearing in the distance. He waved his sword, pointed at the camp, and coldly ordered: "Kill me! No one, male or female, old or young, will be spared."
Three thousand five hundred cavalry suddenly launched and rushed towards the Turkic logistics camp. In a moment, the Sui cavalry rushed into the southern camp. The Turkic soldiers who came out of the tent in a panic were completely confused because of the fire in the camp.
The generals could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, some were fetching water to extinguish the fire, and some were searching for the enemy by the river. A large number of them had not even had time to put on their armor, let alone ride on their war horses.
He was killed by the Sui troops who rushed in.
