Late at night on July 26th, the first year of Xianheng year in the Tang Dynasty.
The weather was not very good that day, with a heavy haze and a howling north wind. However, as the saying goes, the dark moon night kills people and the wind highs, it is the best time for the Tang army to set fires.
Under the cover of night, Li Xian and his army ambush outside the Tubo camp early. Just waiting for a fire to break out in the camp, they guarded tightly to prevent the enemy troops from escaping easily.
The main ones responsible for setting the fire were 300 elite men led by Li Xian's general Zhang Yu. All of these 300 people carried fire oil, flint, fire sickles and other items. At the same time, these 300 people and another 100 people held torches.
Escort, but the soldiers holding torches for lighting should not be too close to the soldiers carrying kerosene, so as not to accidentally cause a fire, which may injure themselves instead of the enemy.
At this time, the Tubo army camp was silent, and even the soldiers in charge of sentries and patrols were a little drowsy, because their army had more than ten times more people than the Tang army, and they were always the ones taking the initiative to attack, even if they were
This time, the Tang army deceived them and caused them to suffer heavy losses. However, the main force was still there, and they still maintained a numerical advantage more than ten times greater than the Tang army. Therefore, they did not expect that there would be a sneak attack by the enemy.
What's more, in order to deal with the enemy's hijacking of the camp, Tubo also set up strict defenses and sentries outside the camp. I believe that even if the Tang army had wings, it would be difficult to fly into the middle of the Tubo camp.
But Zanpo missed one thing, that is, the Tang army would dig tunnels to launch an attack. However, it cannot be said that she missed the calculation, because in Zanpo's view, the Tang army would definitely not do such stupid things as digging tunnels. After all, there was no movement of tunnels.
It was so big that they would not be aware of it. Besides, the Tang army had never entered their camp, so how could they know the distribution of their camps? The camping method they adopted was originally created by Zanpo's brother Gar Qinling, and was similar to
The Tang Dynasty was very different. If they really dug tunnels according to the distribution of the Tang Dynasty camps, I believe they would definitely fall into Tubo's trap.
What's more, even if the Tang army comes in, what will happen? Not to mention the tight defense of the main camp, even if there are ten thousand troops, it will be difficult to attack at once. In addition, the main force of the Tubo army is distributed around the periphery, with fifty or sixty thousand. As long as it is inside,
If there is a change in the situation, they will rush to help immediately. No matter how many people come from the Tang army, they will definitely come back.
But it is a pity that Zanpo did not know that Li Xian had already come to his military camp to investigate, and he already knew the Tibetan camp defense deployment well. In addition, Li Xian had the magical ability to distinguish the direction from the ground, and use
Using a super ignition tool and fiercely burning oil, the tragedy of the Tibetan army was doomed.
The fire was first lit from the baggage camp. Zhang Yu, who was responsible for burning the enemy camp, personally led several soldiers and walked directly out of the tunnel inside the baggage camp, then called for strong kerosene and lit the first fire.
Of course, Zhang Yu escaped along the tunnel immediately after the ignition was successful.
The fire in the baggage camp naturally alarmed the entire Tubo camp. Everyone ran desperately in the direction of the baggage camp, holding water utensils in their hands and filling the water utensils with water for one purpose, which was to put out the fire.
.
Because the food and grass stored in the baggage camp is the most important guarantee for their army to be able to sustain it. Without the food and grass baggage, a steel army will have no choice but to retreat in the end. After all, people need to eat and horses need to eat grass.
Zanpo became furious as soon as he heard about the fire in the supply camp. He initially thought that it was caused by the carelessness of the patrolling soldiers, so he ordered the patrolling soldiers in the supplying camp to be severely punished and beheaded immediately.
But soon he got the news that the soldiers patrolling the camp had already been buried in the sea of fire.
Now that his injury has stabilized, I believe that as long as he rests for a few more days, he can lead his troops to fight again. By then, he will definitely learn his lesson and surround the Tang army's camp and attack day and night like before. If he does this, he will
It is guaranteed that the Tang Army camp can be captured within a few days and the cunning and hateful Tang Army can be completely killed.
It's a pity that with the fire in the baggage camp, his plan may suffer a major setback.
"It seems that I have to wait until daybreak, drag my injured body, and immediately launch an attack on the Tang army. In this way, it may be possible to capture the Tang camp before our army runs out of food and ease the situation. Well, this is what the Tang people call a desperate fight.
With this plan, I believe that our officers and soldiers will fight bravely and attack the enemy camp at all costs in the face of the threat of hunger and death, so that they can easily capture the Tang Army's camp and complete my mission easily and smoothly."
Zanpo closed her eyes and was carefully planning various strategies for tomorrow's battle.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a sergeant coming to report: "General, something bad is going on. The fire in the supply camp is so severe that it is difficult to control it. In addition, all the camps in our army are on fire, and the fire is fierce.
It is spreading everywhere, and the entire camp has turned into a sea of fire. General, the situation is critical and may be irreversible, so we should retreat immediately."
"What are you talking about? All the tents are on fire? Is this possible? Unless someone deliberately set the fire. Li Xian, a Tang thief, must have controlled it. But I don't know what that guy has.
He Tongtian's methods are actually able to hide from the outside world, and he came to my camp without knowing it, and even set fire to it wantonly?"
Zanpo thought for a while and then ordered: "The soldiers stationed everywhere must not panic, especially the troops stationed on the outside. They must form a formation to guard and defend to the death. Be careful that the enemy takes advantage of the fire to rob you. The soldiers at the inner level continue to get water and extinguish the fire in an orderly manner. I believe in the so-called
The sea of fire is just a means to scare people's hearts, and it does not have much power in itself. As long as we work together, we can definitely put out this fire..."
But before the ordering soldier could go down to deliver the order, he saw another sergeant running over. He shouted: "General, something bad has happened. The fire cannot be extinguished at all. Today, most of our military barracks have been burned down. Thousands of people have been killed."
The soldiers were burned to death, and the horse camp was also on fire. The horses ran around in fear. Many soldiers were trampled to death and injured by the horses. Even the soldiers stationed outside began to become chaotic. Also, the fire was still
It is spreading, and it is less than a hundred steps away from the general's main camp. It will be burned here in about a quarter of an hour. General, it is better to leave quickly to avoid being buried in the sea of fire..."
"Huh? What do you mean? This fire is not only difficult to extinguish, but also keeps spreading. What is the situation? How could there be such a stubborn fire? Also, all the war horses have escaped? There are actually some soldiers who were burned to death by the fire.
So many? How could this happen? What should I do?"
After hearing so much news, even Zan Po felt a little unbearable. Her face turned pale, her whole body was shaking, she staggered, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the soldiers with quick eyesight and quick hands stepped forward to help her.
At this time, I heard a general running over and saying loudly: "General, the general has already investigated clearly. No wonder the fire is so fierce. Grandma, they used strong fire oil. Two thousand kilograms of strong fire oil were poured on all parts of the camp.
There is a fire like this that the soldiers cannot put out with water..."
After hearing this, Po Zan's face became even more ugly, but at this moment, another sergeant came to report: "General, it's not good, the fire has arrived in front of the camp, hurry up and leave."
When Zan Po heard this, her vision suddenly went dark and she almost fainted. However, the general and his subordinates surrounded him and helped him away and hurriedly walked out.
And when he barely managed to support his injured body and came outside the tent, what appeared in front of him was a scene as tragic as hell on earth: in the vast sea of fire, there were countless shrill screams, and the air was filled with
There was a strong burnt smell, and the stench was so high that all the surrounding soldiers vomited. Even generals like Zanpo who were used to seeing scenes of killing couldn't help but vomited wildly. In the end, even the bile was gone.
Controlled.
"There are fires all around, where should I get out?" Looking at the sea of fire in the sky, Zanpo couldn't help but hesitate, especially at this time, his camp was finally swallowed up by the sea of fire, and he felt even more depressed.
Got up.
"General, the fire is smaller in the leeward direction. We can pass through here." At this moment, the general Mang Songchi pointed to the front not far away and said.
Zanpo looked in the direction of Mansong's red finger, and his eyes suddenly brightened, because he saw that the one there was indeed smaller. If he ran out as fast as possible, he should be able to break out of the camp.
At this time, saving her life was the most important thing. Zan Po did not care whether there was an ambush outside the sea of fire, and immediately led hundreds of soldiers under her command to escape from the direction pointed by Mang Songchi.
It can be said that Zanpo was lucky, because the place he chose to escape was one of the campsites that had just caught fire. Because the fire oil had almost burned, the fire gradually became smaller, which allowed him to successfully cross the sea of fire and reach the camp.
At the same time, more soldiers gathered around him. A rough calculation showed that there should be more than 10,000 soldiers gathered around him now.
But Zanpo can be considered unlucky, because according to reports from the gathered soldiers, all the soldiers were dead. Some were burned to death, some were trampled to death by horses, and some were killed by themselves because they blocked Pao Ze's escape path.
People kill.
"I didn't expect that my 200,000-strong army would be capsized like this. Little Li Xian, just wait for me. I, Zanpo, will definitely avenge this big vengeance." Zanpo, who escaped from the camp, looked at the 10,000 soldiers silently.
The Tibetan soldiers, who had abandoned their armor and were covered in scars, said through gritted teeth.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard an earth-shattering cry of killing coming from behind. Po Zan looked back in horror and saw that Tang Jun was coming from behind to cover up the attack. At this time, Po Zan no longer said she was looking for Li
Showing the boldness of his words of revenge, he immediately led the soldiers to escape madly.
"Kill! Haha, you traitor Zanpo, today you have entered my ambush and it is impossible to escape. I am chasing you to the edge of the sky, and I want to capture and kill you in repayment for the previous ambush of our Turkic warriors.
!" Ashina Daozhen led two thousand Turkic cavalry and chased Zan Po in the direction of lightning.
When Zan Po saw this, he couldn't help but feel like dying, and ran away even more desperately. However, after he had run for more than ten miles and saw that Ashina Daozhen's army was about to be thrown away, and he felt a little relieved, he suddenly heard something coming from in front of him.
There was a cry of killing, and the general in front shouted loudly: "Zanpo thief, your death has come, Xiao Wang has been waiting for a long time." (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
