Chapter 126 Night Attack
In Huaihuang Town, there is a scene before the war. The cattle and sheep grazing are now kept in the sheep and horse walls in the city.
After hearing that the Turks were heard, the Khitans might have joined forces to attack, and the garrisons in Huaihuang Town accelerated their speed and built the city wall overnight.
There are only a few gaps left on the south wall, while the three walls on the east, west and north are already solid and built like iron walls.
Ertuo suggested to Li Chongjiu that he would bring all his troops with him, and to do his best to destroy the Turkic Adu tribe.
Yinghefu also felt that six hundred cavalry were not sure of attacking the tribe of ten thousand people.
However, Li Chongjiu believed that the long-distance raid in the infantry was not effective, and if the six hundred cavalry could not succeed, the same would be true for eight hundred people.
So Tanzong ordered three cavalry regiments to go out of the city at noon.
Ertuo led his cavalry of hundreds of cavalry and Xi troops to lead the way in front, while his three cavalry was behind.
In the evening, six hundred cavalrymen entered a bush and rested in seclusion.
In order to maintain horsepower, light cavalry is equipped with one person and two horses, and armored cavalry is even equipped with one person and three horses. You should know that a pair of bright light armor is at least 30 kilograms, and there is a special auxiliary horse to place armor.
The soldiers rested in the dense forest, closed their eyes and rested when they hurriedly, either fed the war horses with cloth troughs, or raised a low fire, covering all sides with cloth, putting Sui swords on the fire to smoke and blackening both sides.
As for the marching, the orders are prohibited and no sing is allowed to speak out at will. These are basic rules.
The Han people had good obedience, while the Xi people had poor discipline, but under the military law of whipping sticks, they also restrained a lot.
After a month of getting along, whether it is the Xi people or the Han people, they have gradually become accustomed to working together and fighting with each other, and have developed a certain understanding. It is better to reject each other at the beginning.
When camping, Li Chongjiu wanted to send cavalry to search for the camp where Ado's troops were located.
But he was stopped by Etuo.
Etuo said angrily: "This Han general, you really don't know how to march on the grassland."
"There are all plains here. If someone is sent to search and the Turks find out, isn't this the intention of our sneak attack to the Turks?"
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu looked at Ying Hefu, and the other party nodded, thinking that this was the case.
"What if the Turks moved away from the camp you saw yesterday? We are not just a single trip."
"Absolutely not. It is a top-class ranch. Minister Adoba moved here for a long distance and had to give sufficient rest to war horses and livestock, which would be more conducive to combat. During this period, they would never leave."
Li Chongjiu heard Etuo speak very firmly and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll listen to your opinions."
Etuo said to Li Chongjiu, Yingfu said, "Adoba camp, within fifteen miles of this, if it approaches during the day, it will definitely be discovered by its detective cavalry, so only by night action and sudden attack can the battle be successful."
Yinghefu nodded and said, "Tonight is the second crescent moon. We will set out at the third update. When we arrive at the Adoba place at dawn, we will definitely catch them off guard."
After everyone agreed, they decided to act in accordance with the plan of Etuo.
Six hundred cavalry, plus one hundred cavalry, rested in the middle of the night, and waited until a crescent moon rose from the east.
All the armored cavalry and cavalry took off the Mingguang Armor for sneak attacks at night. Wearing the easily reflective Mingguang Armor is like not blackening the knife, which is all seeking death.
Then, he tied a horse and wrapped his hooves, and a group of cavalry rode on war horses and rushed on all night.
It was almost dawn, and after seeing a great master from afar, in the hazy night, the tribal camp with torches on its lit up, everyone knew that they were approaching their goal.
At this moment, all the cavalry dismounted and walked to Shaliu Field one mile away from the camp, transferred to the war horses, and had a final rest.
In the night wind, torches flashed.
The soldiers guarding the night at the camp of Adoba were at their most tired time.
"Very good, the people from the A-Dou team will never expect that we will come to the camp at this time, so we are completely unprepared." Etu said with a happy expression on his face.
Then the forehead turned around and said proudly: "Han general, Ying Hefu, I am willing to lead my subordinates to be the first to rush into the camp. You will just follow me and cover up the killing."
Ying Hefu was about to speak, but Li Chongjiu said first: "How can this be done?"
Etuo said angrily: "You Han people are mother-in-law and mother. Do you all think that we all are as afraid of death as you do?"
After hearing what Etuo said, Li Chongjiu and Ying Hefu were not good at talking anymore, so he decided that Etuo would be the one who took the lead.
Just as he was about to turn over the horse, Li Chongjiu suddenly said, "Slow down!"
Ying Hefu, and Etuo was surprised. Etuo said angrily: "Han General, what are you doing?"
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "The time has not come, so my subordinates will take a rest!"
"You Han people are really troublesome." Etu said angrily, dismounted again, and sat down on the side with dissatisfaction on his face.
Then the forehead urged him twice again, but Li Chongjiu refused.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Wang Mahan suddenly stepped forward to Li Chongjiu and whispered a few times.
Li Chongjiu's eyes were shining coldly after hearing this, and immediately said, "Em, you can prepare for attack."
After hearing this, the erectile snorted coldly and turned around and was about to get on the horse. At this time, Li Chongjiu suddenly drew out the knife and slashed the erectile slashed the erectile slash.
The sword flashed, and the rabbit rose and fell, which was extremely fast.
Everyone who was approaching Ying Hefu and others did not react, but Li Chongjiu slashed him with one sword.
In a hurry, he felt like he opened his eyes behind him, and actually held Li Chongjiu with one knife.
"What are you doing?"
With a bang!
Everyone around them didn't understand why, they all drew out their swords and didn't know who was the enemy or friend for a while.
Yinghefu stepped forward, pressed the knife, and looked at his forehead with a calm face.
Li Chongjiu pointed his hand and asked, "Are they Khitans or Turks who instructed you to deceive us into robbing the camp?"
Everyone looked at Etuo.
Etuo immediately showed an angry expression and smiled at the sky and said, "Han General, yes, I am the inner supporter, you kill me!"
At that moment, the forehead holder threw the knife heavily on the ground.
Ying Hefu hurriedly stopped Li Chongjiu and said, "General, Etu is my best brother. He is loyal to the tribe and will never betray us."
Several soldiers of Xi also nodded and agreed.
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "At this moment, I'm still deceiving you. Okay, I'll let you die. Do you know what suspicious points you just revealed?"
"You said the Khitans were going to attack us, but you heard the news. On the way, you came to inform us and found the camp of Adoba. Is this a coincidence?"
"Okay, this is a coincidence, but you mentioned before that if you approach the Adobe camp during the day, you may be discovered by the detective cavalry. How did you notice the Adobe camp during the day and not discovered by the other party's detective cavalry? And you must determine that it was the Adobe camp?"
Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Of course, what you shouldn't deserve is to let a subordinate go out of here secretly and inform the Turks, but I asked me to arrange for you to find out if you have been secretly following your subordinates."
When Li Chongjiu heard this last sentence, a large number of Khitan cavalry appeared quietly under Huaihuang City.
