Falling into the trap

The twentieth day of the first lunar month

All non-combatants were withdrawn to the Second Battalion, while the combat troops and approximately 2,000 auxiliary soldiers remained in the Changshenglao Battalion.

If they surrounded this place, it would take them a while to demolish the buildings.

The flags of the Turkic troops are already vaguely visible. The long string of flags seems to have no end, but the Turkic scouts have not come close to conduct reconnaissance once. The Changsheng Camp has its doors closed most of the time, and the auxiliary soldiers have been there since early morning.

They were busy building defensive offensives until late at night, the soldiers were cleaning their weapons, and the musketeers were maintaining their ammunition.

After everyone discussed it, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit. After all, they had been attacking the opposite side before, and they were not psychologically afraid of the Turks. However, this time they were fighting on their own land, and the other side had used up all its main force and had a numerical advantage. Therefore,

Everyone seemed a little nervous.

Afraid that everyone would be too nervous and waste energy in vain, Chang Sheng asked everyone to relax and play dice instead, and kick the ball when it was time to play. As time went by, the camp was filled with laughter again.

Changsheng would watch the Turkic positions in the distance every day. Seeing the smoke rising from cooking stoves today, she wondered if the Turkic Tatars were going to eat at this time.

"There are still more than eight thousand Turks opposite my lord, right?" Qin Qiong suddenly said in his ear.

"Well, that's what it looks like. It seems like there are still no reinforcements." The distance was too far and the spies were isolated, making it difficult to detect the situation.

"I will lead three hundred elite soldiers to attack the enemy's camp tonight. Your Excellency, you will know the strength of the enemy." Qin Qiong said with clasped fists. Qin Qiong had this idea since the Turks began to camp on the opposite side a few days ago. Ever since Changsheng paid attention to the soldiers,

After taking vitamin supplements, soldiers rarely suffer from night blindness.

The so-called best reconnaissance is fire reconnaissance. A sufficiently threatening attack can reveal the opponent's true strength to a certain extent.

Chang Sheng also had full confidence in Qin Qiong's ability to steal camps: "Since ancient times, stealing camps has always resulted in nine out of ten steals. General Qin's bravery is certainly not a problem. Of course I am relieved."

Changsheng Camp has been here for a long time, and the surrounding terrain is very familiar. It is no different from visiting your own home to camp secretly.

Moreover, the opponent's camp with nearly 10,000 people covers a large area. It is easy for Qin Qiong to find a weakly defended place to launch an attack. It is difficult to determine the number of enemy troops in the middle of the night. Therefore, to deal with such a night attack, most armies will require them to fight independently and strive to

Don't cause more confusion.

However, this request was still rejected by Changsheng, because Changsheng does not want to use precious soldiers to show the fearlessness and bravery of our army. Even without fire reconnaissance, waiting for the opponent to attack is still a good strategy.

This was another four days of silence. The enemy still seemed to have no intention of launching an attack, but was constantly building more siege equipment, and even began to blatantly destroy vegetation under the eyes of the Changsheng Camp.

More and more watchtowers and siege engines were erected, and more other siege weapons were gathered outside the camp, as far as the eye could see.

It seemed obvious that the enemy was going to kill him with a thunderous strike. This feeling of an approaching storm made Changsheng feel very depressed, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Why don't you think the Turkic Tatars have attacked yet? It's not long before the freeze period ends. When the ice melts, how will they come here?" Changsheng asked.

"There is no need to worry, sir. My general currently has 5 artillery pieces and 300 muskets. Can't he guard the gate?" Zhang Baobao said proudly. He wanted to use this optimistic mood to cheer up Changsheng. He guessed that the other party

They must not have known that we have such heavy firepower, and that the weapons and equipment we have never seen before will give the enemy great fright and psychological pressure.

The whole morning was spent in peace again. Just after dinner in the afternoon, an emergency call came from outside. Fang Xuanling led a Linchuan soldier covered in blood and hurried in. He was killed by A Shi

The horse team there secretly sent it over, and it was discovered by the sentry as it entered the Changsheng Camp's security range.

As soon as he entered the camp, the soldier covered in blood fell to his knees with a plop and shouted heartbreakingly: "Master Li, save Linchuan!"

The officers in the camp stood up in surprise. Chang Sheng ignored the blood on the other man's body and stepped forward to help him up and asked, "What's wrong with Linchuan?"

"Linchuan is surrounded by enemy troops. There are more than 5,000 soldiers there!" The soldier cried bitterly as he spoke, hugging Changsheng's thigh and said, "General Li, send troops quickly to save Linchuan."

Changsheng shook the other person a few times, but he repeated these few words over and over again, unable to understand what he meant.

At this time, news came from Qin Qiong's men that Qin Qiong had just attacked the enemy camp with his troops, and the enemy camp was empty...

The report of the messenger sounded like thunder in Changsheng's ears, and there was a buzz in the tent. The Turks who built siege weapons were just a cover.

Confuse you and make you think they are about to attack.

In fact, tens of thousands of main troops had already marched to the vicinity of Linchuan.

After Qin Qiong inspected the camp, he lit all these things with a fire.

Angrily, Chang took out his sword and slashed at the table, but she cut off a corner.

"Right now, our main force in the northwest is in critical danger. It is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out in Linchuan. Please make a decision as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling said.

No matter how much he calculated, he never expected that the enemy would still go after Chen Ping.

In the past few days, the Turks have set up a dummy camp near the line from Changsheng Camp to Dunhuang, pretending to attack, and then bypassed Dunhuang and went straight to Linchuan, forcing the defenders there to close their doors to protect themselves. However,

Chen Ping was not too nervous. After all, as long as Dunhuang did not fall, Linchuan's food supply would not be cut off, and the local area would not have enough time to besiege the city.

However, the Turkic soldiers once again made a false shot and marched south from Linchuan to Dunhuang, catching the Dunhuang defenders by surprise. Although the local defenders quickly organized a defense, they still suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the enemy learned that Chen Ping

The general sent troops and had to flee in a hurry.

Chen Ping led his troops to catch up, and the enemy's rear troops who successfully caught up were all Han auxiliaries. It is said that they were forcibly recruited, and most of them were local farmers.

Chen Ping believed this statement. After all, the enemy did not show any nostalgia for them when they retreated, and ran away to care for themselves, so he kindly incorporated them into his own army. Unexpectedly, they instigated a riot that night and took Chen Ping hostage.

flat.

Dunhuang County was instantly leaderless, but at this time the Turkic Tatars returned, not only wiping out Chen Ping's troops, but also taking advantage of the situation to capture Dunhuang.

Not only that, the Linchuan defenders realized that they had fallen into the enemy's trick. Not only had Dunhuang been lost, but the enemy would soon send troops to Linchuan, and now the Linchuan defenders were also in danger.
