The fundamental purpose of the Tang Army's night attack was not to defeat the Great Food Army. In fact, with these three thousand cavalry, it was easy to take advantage of the chaos and rob, and it was no problem to create chaos. But if they really wanted to defeat the enemy,
But that is not possible. The fundamental reason is that the food army is not in a completely unprepared sleeping state at this time, but is preparing its troops. It is not difficult to catch the opponent by surprise, but once the opponent reacts, the three thousand cavalry will
It is really not a match for the more than 200,000 cavalry troops. Of course, Peng Tao will definitely not do such stupid things as greedy for merit. This time he rushed into the rear camp and only killed one person, disrupting the rear camp.
After the food army defended themselves, they immediately shouted orders.
"Boom, boom..."
The Tang army came well prepared. There were not only dozens of Tang cavalry equipped with kerosene bombs, but also many soldiers carrying torches and other items. When Peng Tao gave the order, the Tang army officers and soldiers who had been prepared immediately separated and set off.
When a fire broke out, we focused on taking care of key areas such as hay piles, stables, and baggage storage areas. However, when we heard bursts of explosions, fire broke out everywhere in the back camp, and it quickly spread. If it weren't for the food in front of the army,
If the middle and rear camps were separated relatively widely, this fire would be enough to turn the entire Dashi camp into a sea of flames. Even so, the huge rear camp would be completely hopeless.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and Peng Tao did not dare to delay any longer. With a roar, he led his troops out of the camp, which was on fire everywhere, and rushed into the heavy fog without looking back.
Rush away from a distance.
The back camp of the Dashi Army was full of flammable things. When a fire broke out, it instantly spread to the sky. Under the heat wave, it was difficult to even get close, let alone put out the fire. Besides, there were no people nearby.
Even if the food army wanted to save the stream, there was no chance at all. Once such a situation occurred, not only the front and middle battalions of the food army were in chaos, but also the two groups of death squads who were fighting fiercely on the mountainside.
No fighting spirit.
"Send the order: The second and third battalions will attack immediately and drive the thieves down the mountain!"
The fire in the Dashi camp was so strong that it soared to the sky. Even with the fog blocking it, Xiao Sanlang could still see it clearly from the top of the mountain. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but it didn't bring it to his face.
He ordered calmly.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
After Xiao Sanlang's order, the messenger who was following him blew the horn of attack and conveyed the order to the reserve team.
"Follow me and kill!"
Lu Sansheng was seriously injured in the daytime battle, and his first and second battalions also suffered heavy losses, so they were transferred to the rear to serve as reserves. He was already feeling angry, but he ignored the military medical officer.
After being dissuaded, he was wrapped in several layers of gauze and went to the position with his wounds. As soon as he heard the sound of the attack horn, his blood boiled instantly. With a roar, he led his troops out of the trench and shouted to the people on the mountainside.
The battle group rushed over.
"The traitor army's camp has been lost. Our army must win. Kill them!"
Su Dayong led his troops to fight for more than half an hour, but was still unable to suppress the violent attacks of the Da Shi Army's death squads. At this moment, he just took advantage of the Da Shi Army's panic due to the fire in the rear camp and occupied a certain position.
He took the initiative, and immediately heard the sound of horns from behind. When he saw that Lu Sansheng had led his troops to charge down, he felt a little unhappy in his heart - in every battle, the first regiment was the main force, and his second regiment was always the reserve team.
, I had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally got a tough fight, but unexpectedly I encountered another group coming to steal the credit. I was very unhappy, so I roared and led my personal guards to charge forward desperately.
"You are not allowed to retreat. The rear camp is just on fire. With His Highness's army here, it is absolutely fine. I will rush up to kill them all. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!"
This night attack was Aziz Ibn Abdul's last chance to regain his position. Even though he knew that there was definitely something fishy about the fire in the back camp, he would never be defeated again, no matter what.
He killed several retreating soldiers with ground chops, roared and led his bodyguards to meet the charging Su Dayong.
"kill!"
"ha!"
…
Su Dayong charged fiercely, and Aziz Ibn Abdul was also not slow. With the help of the firelight, the two of them had already determined that the other party must be a general in the army. They both wanted to kill the other party on the spot and capture him.
The thief captured the king first, and naturally they collided with each other like sparks hitting the earth, but the two of them exhaled at the same time and struck out with both swords.
"clang……"
Aziz ibn Abdul is known as the most brave general in the Dashi Army and is known for his strength, while Su Dayong is the most powerful man in the first division. The two sides collided head-on.
They were evenly matched, and after a crisp sound, each of them was shaken so unsteadily that they stumbled back a few steps.
"ah……"
Aziz Ibn Abdul has always been proud of his martial prowess, but he did not expect Su Dayong to have such courage. His heart could not help but sink, but he refused to give up. Before he could stand firm, he let out a strange roar.
, swung his sword and struck at Su Dayong again.
"Come again!"
Su Dayong was a famous strongman in the Tang army. In his early years, he often wielded his sword in battle to kill enemies. However, after he was transferred to the First Division, he rarely had such opportunities for hand-to-hand combat. This time he failed to do anything with his sword.
After capturing Aziz Ibn Abdul, not only did he not panic, but he was in high spirits. Seeing Aziz Ibn Abdul coming to kill him again, he was not to be outdone.
He also roared violently and struck hard with his sword.
"Dangdang..."
The two generals had equal strength and equal sword skills. The fight was naturally very lively, but the sound of the blades clashing was as loud as exploding beans, and the two masters strangled themselves into a mass.
"Kill the thief, I am invincible!"
Just as Su Dayong and Aziz Ibn Abdul were fighting endlessly, Lu Sansheng had led his troops to the battle group. The more than 500 Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers were like 500 tigers descending from the mountain, and they lost their unity.
The Da Shi Army death squad under his command was killed and wounded in an instant. With their morale exhausted and no resistance left, they fled away like a mountain avalanche, leaving the general alone on the mountainside.
"Fire!"
The death squads of the Great Food Army were all defeated, but Su Dayong and Aziz Ibn Abdul still couldn't decide the winner. The two sides fought to the death with real fire, regardless of what was happening around them.
No matter what the situation was, when Lu Sansheng saw this, he was already impatient with his boss. Regardless of what Su Dayong thought, he gave a cold order.
"Bah, bah..."
Just when Su Dayong and Aziz Ibn Abdul were once again fighting head-on and being bounced away by each other, dozens of Tang Army soldiers surrounding him pulled the triggers unceremoniously, shooting Aziz at random.
Qiz ibn Abdul was beaten into a sieve.
"Lu Sansheng, what do you mean? You're not the one grabbing the credit, right?"
As soon as he saw Aziz Ibn Abdul being shot to death indiscriminately, Su Dayong, who had not had enough of it, became furious. He rushed in front of Lu Sansheng with a knife, blushed and roared loudly.
"Blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops, and move the troops into the trenches to set up defenses!"
Lu Sansheng ignored Su Dayong's roar, calmly waved his hand and gave the order loudly.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
As soon as the trumpet sounded, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were frantically chasing the defeated army immediately responded to the order, turned around and rushed into the trenches on the mountainside, forming a vigilant formation.
"Humph, I'll settle the score with you later!"
Su Dayong was furious, but he really had no chance to win against Lu San. He could only snort unwillingly, stamp his feet, and led the guards back to the trenches in dismay. The night attack battle had come to an end.
…
"Bastard! Nabuji!"
Not long after the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty had withdrawn, Yezid Ibn Abu had already rushed over from the Chinese army with tens of thousands of cavalry. Seeing that the fire in the rear camp was hopeless, he was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes.
Unable to stop, he roared with a livid face.
"The end is here!"
As soon as Yezid Ibn Abu called his name, General Asser Nabji quickly rode his horse up from behind, bowed on the horse, and hurriedly answered.
"Take your men to chase and bring General Tang's dog head back to me!"
Needless to say, the consequences of the burning of the rear camp were serious. It not only affected the success or failure of this night battle, but more importantly, the food and fodder were almost completely lost. The plan to encircle and annihilate the Tang army was on the verge of bankruptcy.
How could Yezid Ibn Abu endure the bad breath in his chest? He gave the death order with a sullen face.
"promise!"
Chasing the enemy in the dark is a taboo for military strategists. Asser Nabji will understand this, but when he sees Yazid Ibn Abu in the heat of the moment, how can he dare to speak out in defense? He can only respectfully
He agreed, ordered his 20,000 light cavalry, and followed the sound of the Tang army's horses' hooves and drove wildly.
"General, the thief is coming after me!"
After the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty galloped for a while, the speed of the horses gradually slowed down. The food army that was chasing after them took the opportunity to close the distance between the two sides. With the huge momentum and the dots of torches, they immediately
He was immediately discovered by Tang Qi from behind, and he hurriedly reported to Peng Tao.
"Hey!"
Hearing that the food army was following, Peng Tao couldn't help but sneered, raised the whip in his hand, and loudly ordered: "Listen to the order, turn to the northwest, at full speed!"
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
As the horn sounded louder, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, which had slowed down, began to accelerate again and rushed towards the northwest at full speed.
"Chase, catch up and kill all the Tang thieves!"
Asser Nabuji was ordered to pursue the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty this time. He originally just wanted to respond to the request and go back to deliver the mission, but he did not expect to be able to grab the tail of the Tang army. Hearing the sound of horse hoofs in front of him, he heard the sound of horse hoofs in front of him.
Our own army was only about 300 paces away. The desire for success suddenly became stronger. They completely forgot about the original intention of responding in vain. They roared and led their troops to chase the Tang army. The two armies were chasing and fleeing.
Soon we were far away from the big food camp that was already in flames...
