"Youxian King, if I withdraw my troops at this time, what should I do if the Tang army transports food and grass again, or retreats secretly?" Batu said.
When he came, Yi Nan had told him to try to preserve his strength.
Not only does Duanliang Dao not need to fight the Tang army head-on, but it can also capture a large amount of grain and slaves. Batu is naturally unwilling to give up.
"The Tang army is not stupid. If the food road is cut off, why don't they send troops to protect it? Once your cavalry is seriously damaged, it will affect the morale of the army, which will be very unfavorable for the next decisive battle." Tong Eshe said.
"Ok."
Tong E set up a tougher attitude, but Batu did not insist.
……
"General, the things have been delivered secretly." Qin Huaidao said.
"Okay, have you sent the cavalry to search for the broken grain road, have you got any results?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Back to the general, there is no need to search anymore. The people sent by Ashinasher said that it was Xue Yantuo's Batu who led [-] cavalry to cut off our army's food road. At this time, Batu had already led the troops back Arrived at Daying." Qin Huaidao said.
"Okay!" Lin Xuan showed a hint of joy, and said, "You wait for me here, and I will tell the chief manager the news."
Lin Xuan came to the camp of the Chinese Army and met Li Daozong after being notified.
After Lin Xuan finished his salute, he told Li Daozong that the cavalrymen from Jieliang Road had returned to the camp.
"Haha, in this way, we can fight the Western Turks with all our strength." Li Daozong laughed.
If that cavalry stays in the rear, it is also a threat.
In the decisive battle with the Western Turks, if the cavalry sneaked into the rear, it would be a disaster. Therefore, in the decisive battle with the Western Turks, we must guard against the surprise attack of the cavalry.
"How is your contact with Ashinasheer? When can we do it?" Li Daozong asked.
"Boss, you are ready, you can do it at any time." Lin Xuan said.
Li Daozong pondered for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, if it is too late, there will be changes. Let's do it tomorrow night."
"Yes."
Lin Xuan and Li Daozong discussed the details and left.
Li Daozong called all the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops.
Lin Xuan returned to the barracks and asked Qin Huaidao to contact Ashinasheer.
……
In the middle of the night of the second day, in the Datang barracks, the whole army assembled, with grass and horses in their hands, and it was very quiet.
With Li Daozong's order, the gate of the barracks was opened wide, and the army quietly and orderly left the barracks and disappeared into the night.
……
Western Turkic Camp
Because Datang has never been able to shrink back, even with Tong Eshe's orders, the generals and soldiers will inevitably slack off.
The soldiers on guard were drowsy, and the patrolling team was listless. They just walked around and didn't take a closer look at it.
In the night, several figures sneaked towards the place where the horses were placed.
There are 20 cavalry, with an average of one man and two horses, and there are 40 war horses.
The number of 40 war horses is so huge that they are divided into five stables for the convenience of management.
Several figures scattered to the stables, looking for a remote place, and took out a few bamboo tubes from their arms.
Carefully opening the bamboo tube, just as he was about to make a move, footsteps sounded not far away.
The figure quickly took out the short blade from his waist, and became cautiously on guard.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped, and after a while there was the sound of "crash clatter".
After a while, the sound of water stopped, and the sound of footsteps slowly faded away.
The hidden figure breathed a sigh of relief, took out thick threads from the bamboo tube, then hid his figure and waited.
……
Although the ancients did not move the principle of the darkness before dawn, they did not hinder the use of this time.
The so-called darkness before dawn is the result of the effect of the earth's atmosphere.When the long night is about to end and the sun is about to rise, the sunlight below the horizon irradiates the upper atmosphere of the earth 2000-3000 kilometers away, and the scattered light of the sun dilutes the starlight, and the upper atmosphere is very thin. The scattered sunlight cannot fully pass through the dense atmosphere to the ground.
In this way, the earth is neither illuminated by starlight nor diffused by the atmosphere, and there is no bright sunlight, so it becomes completely dark, so it is darker than other times of the day at this time.
The ancients regarded this phenomenon as breaking dawn or dawn.
The darkness before dawn usually appears in the middle of Yin time and lasts for about half an hour.
The West Turkic Camp is about fifty or sixty miles away from the Tang Army Camp.
The Tang army set off at no time, and it took nearly an hour to stop at a place more than ten miles away from the Western Turkic camp.
When the darkness before dawn came, Tang Jun set off again.
Although the darkness is intertwined, the Western Turkic camp has a lot of fire, which has become a beacon for the Tang army to advance.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Tang Jun quietly came to the vicinity of the Western Turkic camp, but was still not found.
"kill!"
Close to the camp, there is no need to hide.
Cheng Yaojin got the order, shouted, took the lead in the charge, and led ten thousand cavalry into the Western Turkic camp.
Before the soldiers guarding the camp came to their senses, most of them were shot and killed by a round of arrows from the Tang army. The Tang army entered the Western Turkic camp without hindrance.
"Enemy attack!"
The living Western Turkic soldiers let out a shrill cry.
The sound of killing and shouting caused chaos in the entire Western Turkic camp.
Tong E was awakened in her sleep, and when she heard the noise outside, her complexion changed drastically, she couldn't even put on her clothes, and ran out of the tent, shouting, "What's going on?"
"Boss, the Tang army has sneaked into our camp, and has already entered our camp," said the commander of the soldiers.
"Bastard!" Tong E set his face livid, and shouted: "Hurry up and mobilize troops to stop the Tang army!"
"Yes!" The commander of the personal army responded, and just as he was about to go, there were deafening noises from several places in the camp.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just as the rumbling sound fell, there was the frightened neighing of war horses.
The war horses in the West Turkic Stables were so frightened by the sudden loud noise that they lost their minds, completely disregarding the surrounding fences, broke through the stables, and ran out.
Those Turkic cavalrymen who had just woken up from their sleep and ran out with weapons were trampled into flesh by Wanma before they could figure out the situation.
Hundreds of thousands of frightened war horses rushed around in the barracks, and its power can be imagined.
As soon as Tong Eshe recovered from the loud noise, he heard the neighing of war horses and the screams of soldiers.
"Hurry up, get someone to appease the war horse!" Tong E set up his complexion changed drastically, he naturally knew how destructive the war horse would be if it was frightened.
The sudden loud noise not only frightened the soldiers of the Western Turks, but also frightened the soldiers of the Tang Army.
Li Daozong suddenly thought that before departure, Lin Xuan insisted on plugging the ears of all the horses. If he said that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Xuan, he would not believe it at all.
The ears of Tang Jun's war horses were all blocked. Although the sound could not be completely isolated, the loud noise had little effect on Tang Jun's war horses.
Although the soldiers of the Tang Army were frightened and caused some commotion, they calmed down soon after the noise stopped.
