At the end of the Sui Dynasty, I am the king

Chapter 238: Even guessing

Views:

Let's take a look at the situation of the Turkic triple generals sneaking into the Sui army's camp. As I said earlier, the night sky at night is relatively hazy, and the dim moonlight is very conducive to surprise attacks. The three generals Nibu and Nalun led a Turkic army of 60,000. They left the Turkic camp very smoothly and quietly sneaked towards the Sui army camp. During this period, they were not discovered by any Sui army scouts. After crossing the ten-mile limit agreed with the Sui army, the whole line entered the defense zone of King Qin and the Sui army.

Unceremoniously overturned the road signs of the Sui army to the ground, and trampled their horses into pieces. The Turkic army continued to move south, and continued to approach the Sui army camp quietly. The situation of the camp was reported to the leader of the Turkic Raiders Association appointed by Shibi Khan himself. He said that the camp of King Qin and the Sui Army was no different from the usual one. It was tight outside and loose inside. The patrol team was the same as usual, and did not send additional scout posts. Only the camp gates of the camp were guarded by troops.

"How is the fortification situation in the barbarian camp?" The leader of the association asked the scouts what he was most concerned about.

"The barbarian's guard camp trenches have been dug. They are about a foot wide and nearly a foot deep. There are no pickets in the trenches." The scout replied truthfully: "More than half of Juma's antlers have been built, but it hasn't been in time yet." Build sheep and horse walls."

"You barbarian, move fast." The association led a curse, hating the Sui army for moving too fast. They dug all the trenches in a little more than a day, which limited the power of the Turkic cavalry's charge and raid, and also made it impossible for the Turkic cavalry to attack at the same time. They launched a surprise attack on the Sui army camp. Fortunately, the Sui army's camp fortifications were not completely improved, and the Turkic army still had a chance.

At this time, the forward Nalun team had already approached within two miles of the northwest corner of the Sui army's camp, and quickly arranged a surprise formation. According to Khan's previous request, the association led the Nibu team to be placed at the west and north end of the Sui army's camp, and led the Chinese army to live in Nalun and served as the rear army task. Then the rate of association was discussed with Nibu and Na Lun, and the order of dispatching troops, attack methods and contact signals were decided, and each went back to the headquarters to command the operation, and the raid on King Qin's Sui army camp began.

The first to go out were two thousand Turkic infantry. These soldiers who dismounted and walked each carried a soil bag. Under the cover of night, they first touched the northwest corner of the Sui army's camp and lay in ambush in a dark place a hundred paces away. Hundreds of soldiers came forward with ropes, crossed the trenches of the Sui army camp before they had time to lay sharp wooden stakes, tied the ropes to the horse antlers and fences, and then returned to the outside of the trenches with the other end of the ropes. Fortunately, the Sui army sentries patrolling back and forth in the camp did not notice these actions of the Turkic soldiers, and the Turkic soldiers who were in charge of arranging the ropes also completed this action very smoothly.

Then it was time to fill the trenches. Under the cover of night, two thousand Turkic infantry stepped forward quickly in a half-squatting and bent posture, slid soil bags into the trenches to fill the trenches, opened the way for the Turkic cavalry to charge, and at the same time, the Turkic light cavalry behind them also They are ready to charge, ready to charge as soon as they are discovered by the soldiers of the Sui army, and will cross the trench at any cost to kill the Sui army by surprise. But fortunately, it may be because the soldiers of the Sui army were confused by the news of the truce, and they were very negligent in guarding the edge of the camp. Nearly two thousand earth bags were thrown into the trench, filling up the twenty-foot-wide trench, and the Sui army patrolled. The team did not find any clues, nor did they issue any alarms.

The sneak attack went so smoothly, and then the Turkic army was even less polite. Hundreds of soldiers pulled the rope with all their strength, and the heavy and huge horse-repelling antlers immediately rose from the ground and dragged to the sides to be useless. He dragged and fell to the ground, revealing the unprotected space inside the Sui army camp. At the same time, it was at this time that a patrol team of the Sui Army patrolling with torches came to check the situation.

There was no need to hesitate any more. Na Lun, who was leading the front army, gave an order, and the three thousand Turkic light cavalry rushed up immediately with a shout, and rushed directly into the gap in the Sui army's camp without hesitation. At the same time, the Turkic army's mud step department immediately launched an attack when they heard the sound of killing, and directly brought forward the grass, trees and soil bags that filled the trenches, and directly smashed them with iron axes and giant hammers. The fences, antlers, and rejected horses of the Sui army camp, as well as some Turkic troops directly attacked the side gate of the Sui army camp in Taiyuan.

At the same time, the Sui camp in Taiyuan, which was seriously under-prepared, was already in chaos. Sui sentries patrolling with torches ran around in the camp, shouting, beating gongs and drums to remind their companions to get up and fight. The Sui army team at the gate of the camp also fled for their lives in the camp, but the Turkic cavalry poured into the Sui army camp like a tide, threw torches and bundles of grass to ignite the Sui army tents, smashed the fence antlers and destroyed the Sui army camp fortifications, cut down the flagpoles and set them ablaze. Turn over the watchtower of the arrow tower, throw all useless things into the trench, widen the entry road to allow more Turkic soldiers to enter the camp, and many Turkic soldiers with excellent riding skills use the Sui army camp to reject the lack of perfect horse antlers The weakness of the camp, he directly rode his horse and jumped over the ditch, taking advantage of the momentum to open up several roads to enter the camp.

The shouting and killing became more violent. The Turkic cavalry rushed into the Taiyuan Sui army camp from the northwest. Singing forward, he quickly penetrated into the depths of the Sui army's camp, ignited more Sui army tents, and overturned countless Sui army bonfires and baggage carts. Leading the follow-up army into the camp, the general Nibu in the west was also eager to make contributions. He also led the follow-up army into the Taiyuan Sui army camp, and at the same time rushed to the southeast of the Sui army's middle army camp.

Only the Turkic rear army led by the association leader did not move, and continued to maintain vigilance just in case. To the satisfaction of the association rate, the Turkic army's sneak attack was not only very smooth, but the other Sui army camps were already in chaos. Running around with torches, yelling and shouting can be heard endlessly, and there is a mess everywhere. Feeling that there should be no problem, the association rate made the rear army light up the torches to show their positions, and at the same time beat the drums violently to encourage the front army.

At the same time, the two Turkic armies that entered the camp of the Sui army in two ways had penetrated into the core of the Sui army in Taiyuan. Although it was a little strange that the number of soldiers in the Sui army in Taiyuan seemed a bit small, Nalun and Nibu were too late Thinking about this problem, mobilizing the army to go straight to the southwest, killing people and setting fire all the way, just going straight to the camp of the Sui army's central army, and then soon, the tall commander-in-chief of Chen Sangliang, who has lost his conscience, is already far away. . Na Lun and Nibu were even more excited. They raised their knives and shouted, "Kill! Kill! Capture Chen Yingliang's barbarian alive! Ella! Ella! Ella!"

call! call! call! call! When the Turkic generals and soldiers screamed to kill, there was an even weirder loud sound of piercing through the air, and then, Na Lun, who was riding a tall horse, suddenly saw a huge arrow thicker than his leg suddenly piercing through the air and flying towards him. Come on, first shot a Turkic soldier who was yelling strangely, like piercing a layer of window paper, directly pierced the Turkic soldier's lower abdomen, and then pierced another Turkic soldier's body, and continued to pass through The body of the second Turkic soldier was then shot at the horse of the third Turkic soldier, and the head of the unlucky horse was smashed to pieces.

"Winch crossbow!" This terrible term flashed in Na Lun's mind, and then Na Lun was taken aback again—the preparation for launching the winch crossbow was more than ordinary trouble, and the soldiers of the Sui army who should have been in panic took so much time to prepare Winch crossbow

At the same time as the huge piercing sound unique to the winch crossbow, more ordinary crossbow piercing sounds followed, as well as the dense sound of feather arrows piercing the air. One after another fell on the heads of the Turkic cavalry, and there were screams one after another. Countless Turkic soldiers turned their backs on their backs, and the charge team was in chaos.

The dense rain of arrows continued, shooting from the dark, and then throwing them on the heads of the Turkic soldiers charging with torches. More Turkic soldiers were killed and injured by the arrows. If the arrows do not reach the target, the feathered arrows will not receive any effect at all. The feathered arrows still keep coming from the darkness and pouring on the heads of the Turkic soldiers. The Turkic soldiers who don’t even know where the enemy is is in chaos. I shoved, people shouted and horses neighed, and it was a mess.

"No, it's been tricked! There's an ambush! Retreat! Retreat!" Na Lun finally came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted to order the troops to retreat. Unfortunately, the night, the flames, and the thick smoke filled the sky, so his order could not be delivered quickly. After the communication was in place, the Turkic soldiers eager to enter the camp of the Sui Army's central army continued to pour in, and collided with their comrades who hurriedly turned around to avoid the arrow rain, collided with each other, trampled on each other, and the chaos became more serious.

It was also at this time that Na Lun suddenly discovered something very wrong, that is, the tents of the Sui army in Taiyuan burned too fast, the fire was too big, and the smoke was too thick, which greatly disturbed the sight of the Turkic soldiers. Increased confusion level for Turkic armies. Then Na Lun finally came to his senses, "Not good! These tents are all empty, and there are firelighters such as firewood and sulfur hidden!"

"Boom!" The thunderous noise that once helped the Sui army capture the Turkic general Elifer reappeared again. Although it only rang once, it still shocked the Turkic army. When it was still echoing in the mountains and forests, there were already killing sounds around the camp of the Sui army in Taiyuan. Countless Sui army soldiers shouted out with torches, and attacked the Turkic army from the east and south. In the dark place lurking in the west, countless torches also appeared, rushing towards the camp of the Sui army in Taiyuan like a tide, and directly killing the back of the mud step team of the Turkic army.

At the same time, the troops of the Turkic Association who were waiting for orders outside the camp also noticed that something was wrong. When they probed their brains to pay attention to the situation of the Sui army camp in the south, there was suddenly a loud noise of killing on the mountain behind them, and countless Sui army soldiers killed them from the mountain. Next, they also went straight to the back of the formation led by the association. The formation was shocked and rushed to attack. The main gate of the Sui army's camp opened wide at the same time, and the heavy cavalry of the patriotic army holding high the banner of loyalty to the country took the lead and rushed out. Go straight to the front of the army led by the association, and behind it is an endless stream of Sui cavalry.

A melee of unprecedented scale unfolded. Sui troops with adequate preparations rushed straight into the Sui camp in Taiyuan, which was already in flames. At the same time, the tents of the Taiyuan Sui Army that the Turkic soldiers themselves lit caused great trouble to them. When the tents full of firewood were lit, they turned into a big fire. The flames could not be approached. The narrow space constricted the actions of the Turkic cavalry, and the chaotic formation also tied up the hands and feet of the Turkic soldiers. It was difficult to advance and retreat on horseback. The Sui army infantry was like a fish in water on such a battlefield, stabbing the Turkic soldiers up and down. Cut off the horse's legs, and killed the bulky Turkic soldiers, crying and howling, making it difficult to parry.

Unable to withstand the attack of the short and nimble Sui army infantry, the Turkic soldiers could only flee for their lives. They dismounted and walked smartly, and escaped flexibly by shaking off the heavy horses. , trampled on each other, stepped on the bodies of their own companions and the bodies of fallen war horses to escape, trampled on each other to death, and even drew their swords at their companions in order to survive. There were even more dead, both of them were trapped in the mud steps and that Lun also completely lost control of the army, so he could only take his own soldiers to join the fleeing team. Occasionally, some Turkic generals at the middle and lower levels tried to organize the army to launch a counterattack, but they were quickly overwhelmed by more defeated soldiers of their own. They were either trampled to death or forced to join the fleeing team.

There are Turkic soldiers crying for help everywhere, the fire and smoke, the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and finally the chaos of their own troops. Countless Turkic soldiers can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the north. When Luo Wang ran to the front of the Sui army, countless Turkic soldiers were hacked to death.

In order to ensure the success of this sneak attack, the wise and wise Shibi Khan asked Aijiang Nalun to bring a total of 5,000 Tuojie soldiers. These Tuojie soldiers are indeed famous for their brutality and ferocity on the battlefield. They are notoriously unblinking at first glance, but in the chaos of being ambushed instead of a sneak attack, these Tuojie Hu soldiers soon became a nightmare for Turkic soldiers—in order to fight for the road and escape, these murderous Tuo Jie Hu soldiers killed The Turkic soldiers are more ruthless than the Sui army. As long as they dare to stop the Turkic soldiers in front of them, or feel that the Turkic soldiers around them are threatening to them, these Tuojie Hu soldiers will cut them down without saying a word, and they will pick the deadly places Cutting, chopping made the Turkic soldiers cry and howl, and the corpses were everywhere, which also caused the Turkic army to kill each other to a certain extent, which made the already chaotic Turkic army even more chaotic. In the end, the Turkic soldiers killed by the five thousand Tuojiehu soldiers , as many as 4,000 people.

Don't be surprised, think about what these barbarians of different races have done in history. Viciousness is their essence, cruelty is their nature, and it is their daily routine to deny their relatives. He Nalun's head was chopped off and given to Chen Sangliang as a chamber pot, which was already discovered by their miraculous conscience.

The Turkic mud step that stepped into the trap, and the disastrous defeat of the Nalun armies are a foregone conclusion, and the formations outside the trap cannot easily get there, because they are attacked by the Sui Army cavalry in front, and flanked by the Sui Army infantry behind them. While panicking, you have to face the enemy, plus the occasional explosion of the original gunpowder bottles in crowded places, it is even more painful for the association to lead the army to fight. The soldiers who reached the extreme left the team and fled for their lives. Finally, when Kan Leng, a Sui army heavy infantry in heavy armor, also joined the battlefield and lined up to attack the left wing of the army led by the association, the army led by the association was also completely defeated, and there was no hope of turning defeat into victory.

At the same time, a large number of Turkic defeated troops had also fled to the edge of the Taiyuan Sui Army camp. These Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough not to lose their way in the flames and smoke, in order to escape, of course scrambled to the way they came from, that is, the opening between them. The gaps in the camp fence, and the camp gates that the Sui army had voluntarily abandoned before, but these gaps and camp gates allowed the Turkic troops to pass quickly when the Turkic troops were in order. The gap in the gate of the camp will undoubtedly become a large tomb for Turkic soldiers. You push each other, countless Turkic soldiers were overthrown by their own companions, trampled into meat paste by the footsteps of horseshoes, and the Turkic soldiers who were able to escape from the camp were all Stepping on the corpses of their own companions out of camp.

In order to open the way for escape, more fences were overthrown and pulled up. However, the horse-rejecting antlers and trenches outside the camp became a nightmare for Turkic soldiers. The soldiers and horses were pushed into a trench that was one foot wide and eight feet deep, and used their bodies to pave the escape path for the companions behind. Many sections of the trench were completely filled with the corpses of Turkic soldiers and horses.

Here I must praise the Turkic Tuo Jie Hu Bing again. When he escaped from the camp, Tuo Jie Hu Bing helped Chen Sangliang kill quite a few Turkic soldiers, and even threw the Turkic wounded soldiers into the trench to pave the road viciously, helping Chen Sangliang again. With Chen Sangliang reaping quite a lot of gains.

Being able to escape from the camp does not mean that the Turkic army can get a chance to gather safely. Chen Yingliang, who always fights more and less on local battlefields, has enough soldiers to use. Killing these Turkic defeated soldiers left the camp, so even if the Turkic defeated soldiers escaped from the camp, they could only continue to flee northward in the face of the onslaught of the Sui army, and fled all over the mountains and plains in the dark. The defeated Turkic brigade that besieged the Taiyuan army camp with all their strength, massacred the defeated Turkic soldiers faster and more effectively, and expanded their gains.

At this time, Yin Shishi hurriedly came to Chen Yingliang, who was in command in the center, and handed Chen Yingliang a few small cloth strips, and explained that they were fished from the river. Chen Yingliang took a look at the small cloth strips, and saw that they all read " Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in confusion: "How does His Majesty know that the Turks use deceit? Logically speaking, the Yanmen defenders are unlikely to know this situation." ?”

"I don't know." Yin Shishi shook his head, and said again: "But that's good, His Majesty the Emperor also knows that the Turks are using fraud, at least we don't have to worry about the Yanmen City being attacked by the Turks, and we can continue to attack King Qin without distraction. "

Chen Yingliang nodded, and then asked again: "Prefect Yin, have you done what I told you to do?"

"I've already arranged for someone reliable to do it, so there's no problem." Yin Shishi replied, and then asked: "Marshal, can you tell me why you did this now? We managed to find a Turk insider, Why are you willing to take the initiative to expose it to the Turkic army?"

"Of course I can tell you now." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, we don't have any Turkic insiders at all. That Turkic insider was fabricated by me. I deliberately exposed this fictional insider to Shibi. In order to make the Turkic Ashina family suspect each other, cause discord, and even kill each other, it will be more conducive to our Qin Wang war."

"Is the Turkic insider fake?" Yin Shishi was tongue-tied, and then blurted out: "Then how do you know that Turkic is playing tricks?"

"I guessed it." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "At noon today, I inadvertently remembered that the nature of the Turkic barbarians is that they do not recognize their relatives and never care about siblings. , I immediately guessed that the Turkic peace talks were fake, and deceived us into taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. And I also concluded that the target of the Turkic sneak attack must be us, not Yanmen City, because it is very difficult to sneak attack on a city , the chance of success is very small, but our King Qin army moved the camp northward every day, and it was too late to build the fortifications of the camp very strong, so it was the most convenient target for a sneak attack."

Shishi Yin was even more tongue-tied, and Chen Yingliang glanced at him before he smiled and said, "Prefect Yin, if you want to ask me why I knew the Turkic army would sneak attack today, and why I chose Ambassador Li's camp as the target, the answer is guessing." from."

"You also guessed it?" Yin Shishi was even more unbelievable, and hurriedly asked: "How can you guess so accurately?"

"It's very simple, the method of elimination." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "I have carefully analyzed the time when the Turks may send troops, and I think that it is too late for the Turks to send troops tomorrow night even if it is delayed for another day, and it will give us time to strengthen the camp fortifications. The negotiations of our Great Sui court also need to be delayed, and it is easy for us to see the flaws. Only by sending troops tonight can we most effectively seize the weakness of our camp's instability and the lax mentality of waiting for the outcome of the peace talks."

"The location of the Turkic army's sneak attack is easier to guess. The front of our camp is very strong, and it is assembled with heavy troops to protect it. They performed well in the battle, and the Turks would have some scruples about them. In addition, the river to the east of the camp of King Jiang Duqin was not conducive to the deployment of the Turkic army. Of course, the Turks were unlikely to consider using Wang Juncheng's camp as a breakthrough point. Old General Yun and General Liu Changgong’s camp is in our back camp. If the sneak attack takes too many detours, it will be easily exposed. Only Ambassador Li’s camp is an ideal choice for the Turkic army. The open terrain is conducive to the deployment of troops. It also behaved very mediocre in the battle the day before yesterday, so I just I guessed that the Turkic army would use Ambassador Li’s camp as a breakthrough.”

After looking at Chen Sangliang up and down as if looking at an alien for a moment, Master Yin asked in a daze, "Then how did you guess that the Turkic army came out of the camp at the third watch and attacked at the fourth watch?"

"I was fooled." Chen Sangliang shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Only this point is fooled. The Turkic army may also leave the camp at the second watch and attack at the third watch. The army is ready before the third watch. Fortunately, I was right."
