Kaiyang (the name of the ancient county, located south of today's Shuocheng) is a small county, with a population of only more than 2,000 households. As for Kaiyang City, where the county seat is located, it is even pitifully small, with a total of more than 1,000 households, eight or more.
There were only more than a thousand people. This time Xue Yantuo came so fast that most of the people in the city had no time to escape. After being surrounded for half a month, on October 14th of the 15th year of Zhenguan, they were defeated by more than 10,000 troops from the Bare Ancient Tribe, and more than a thousand of the defenders were wiped out.
Die in battle.
Although Kaiyang City is small, it is not considered rich. Of course, that is the result of comparison with the counties in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. But for the ancient Baye tribe, Kaiyang City is like heaven, so rich.
Once the city is broken, how can one not take advantage of it? In addition, during the siege, due to the desperate resistance of the defenders, the Beyegu tribe lost nearly 3,000 men and horses under Kaiyang City. Once the city is broken, they will be furious.
The members of the ancient Ba Ye tribe immediately burned and killed Kaiyang City, turning the otherwise good Kaiyang City into a hell on earth. For several days, the screams and cries in the city never stopped.
On October 20, the 15th year of Zhenguan, at four o'clock in the morning, the sky was very cloudy, and the dark clouds in the sky blocked the intersection of stars and moon. Kaiyang City, which had been noisy all day, finally became completely quiet, except for the occasional sound.
Apart from one or two faint cries, there was no other sound. Most of the ancient Beye tribe members who had burned and killed for four or five days had fallen asleep at this time. Only the more than twenty riders led by Chiada
The cavalry was still patrolling, and there was no other way. The tribe to which Qiada belonged suffered all casualties in the siege, not to mention the tribal elders who led the team. The rest of the Qi tribe without the leader could only carry out the execution late at night.
The tiring work of patrolling.
People in the Tang Dynasty were really rich, and their women were also very tender and tender. It was different when they were rubbed together! When Qiada thought of the woman he had snatched a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel warm. He stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips.
The fire in his heart was surging, and he wanted to rush back to the camp immediately to vent his anger. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. He didn't have the guts to do anything about disobeying military orders. There was nothing he could do, Qi
Ada could only kick the horse in the crotch out of boredom, intending to run wildly into the distance to vent his unsatisfied desire. However, his wish was not realized in the end. Just when the horse was about to
Just when he let go of his four hooves and was about to run wildly, an arrow shot out from the dark night with a strong whistling sound, instantly killing Chiada.
Chiada stood dumbly on his horse, looking down at the wound on his chest that kept spurting blood, but he couldn't find the arrow shaft. The word "enemy attack" lingered on his lips for a while, but Chiada had already
He shouted helplessly, his strong body shook for a moment, and then he fell off the horse. The torch in his hand rolled among the withered grass, and immediately ignited a fire. At the same time, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
stand up.
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" The frightened Qibu Rangers turned their horses and rushed toward the camp, shouting loudly. In an instant, all the military camps inside and outside Kaiyang City were in chaos.
When they got up, the members of the Baye Gu tribe who did not expect to be attacked at this time were shouting and scurrying around like headless flies.
Unfortunately, that magical arrow was naturally shot by Li Zhen, and its purpose was just to arouse the enemy and take advantage of the chaos - Kaiyang City is small and cannot accommodate the tens of thousands of horsemen of the Bare Ancient Tribe. At this moment, most of the Bare Ye Ancient Tribe
The army is in the city, and the military commanders of each tribe are basically in the city. There are only some low-level officers in the military camp outside the city. It is impossible to organize effective resistance. The purpose of Li Zhen's move is to quickly defeat the military camp outside the city.
, and then bluffed, so that the Ba Yegu tribe in the city did not dare to send troops to fight without knowing the truth.
The wind was roaring and the blood was burning. Li Zhen, who shot Chiada to death with an arrow, was in a state of excitement. She put away her iron bow, took off the bright silver spear from the victory hook, and shouted: "Follow me, kill!"
Suddenly, a thousand cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty, who had been hiding in the dark for more than two hours, rushed out and rushed towards the panicked enemy camp with murderous intent.
Closer, closer, with the help of the light of the hastily lit torches in the enemy camp, Li Zhen could already see the existence of antlers, fences and other obstacles. Her heart was beating fast, and a rush of blood rushed to her head. Li Zhen
His eyes immediately turned red, and he stared at the fence that was getting closer. He raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Open!" With the momentum of the snow dragon colt, Li Zhen shot the old man with one shot.
A long fence was lifted up into the air, and the Snow Dragon Pony neighed, and rushed into the chaotic military camp with Li Zhen on its back. Dozens of Baye Ancient tribe members who were running around suddenly saw that the enemy had already rushed into the camp.
He immediately stepped forward with a gun and a knife, trying to block Li Zhen's way.
"Kill!" Li Zhen roared wildly, and the spear in his hand shook violently, and several spear flowers spurted out, stabbing several people down in an instant. The others saw the ferocity of Li Zhen's attack, shouted, and fled in all directions.
, and at this time the follow-up cavalry also caught up and rushed into the camp wildly. At the same time, another battalion of cavalry led by Hou Guozhong also came in from the right side of the camp. One thousand Tang cavalry
Like two wild dragons, they ran rampant in the Baye Gubu camp, setting off waves of bloody storms. The corpses of the Baye Gubu were caught off guard and littered the field. In the panic, it was impossible to figure out how many Tang troops were coming.
Soldiers and horses, more than 5,000 people from the ancient tribe of Beye were stunned to be killed by a thousand Tang troops and fled in all directions. Seeing that no Tang troops appeared in the direction of Kaiyang City, the defeated soldiers immediately swarmed and ran toward Kaiyang City.
In the yamen of Kaiyang City County, Qu Lishi, the leader of the ancient tribe of Beye, who was sleeping soundly with the beautiful woman he had snatched, suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the city. He didn't even have time to put on his robe, so he picked up a knife and stood naked.
He screamed and rushed out of the room, leading his guards in a hurry to the head of Kaiyang City. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw that the military camp outside the city was already filled with flames, and there were groups of defeated soldiers or naked soldiers at the city gate.
, or just put on a fur coat, and fled directly to the city regardless of it, suddenly became furious, and shouted wildly: "Come on, come on, come on, where is Tuo Yetuo?"
Ba Ye Tuo, the most valiant general of Ba Ye Ancient Tribe, was at the gate of the city guiding the rebel troops that had broken into the city. When he heard that his commander was shouting at the top of the city, he hurriedly rushed to the top of the city.
, knelt on one knee and said: "Great Commander, my subordinates are here."
Qu Lishi jumped on his feet and said: "Quick, bring the troops and help me, commander, to fight out of the city. Go quickly!"
"No, absolutely not." Before Bayetuo could take the order, Nalong, the high priest of the Baye ancient tribe, squeezed out from the crowd and said repeatedly: "Commander, the Tang army is in the dark and I am in the light, and the enemy situation is
I don’t know, if we attack at this time, if we are ambushed, we may not even be able to save Kaiyang City, so it’s better to wait until dawn to discuss it again.”
"Fart, wait until dawn, the camp will be gone, why don't you hurry up and save the camp? Go!" In Qulishi's rage, Naken listened to Nalong's explanation, jumped on his feet and yelled. This is no wonder Qulishi was anxious.
, most of the property looted from Kaiyang these days have been placed in the camp. Once the camp is lost, the property will inevitably be lost. In this case, if the Bare Ancient Department sends troops this time, wouldn't it mean that they lose troops and gain nothing? This kind of result can be
It's not something that can't be tolerated.
"As ordered." Ba Yetuo did not dare to neglect, so he responded hurriedly, and hurriedly ran down the city, trying to organize the army to fight. However, the army was defeated at once and blocked the entire city gate.
How could Hui get out of the city? What's even more depressing is that Kaiyang City is small and has only one gate. Even if Ba Ye Tuo's troops wanted to get around the defeated troops, they couldn't do anything. Instead, they were rushed by the defeated troops.
formed his own formation.
"Commander, look, the fire in the camp is all out." Just as Quli was anxiously wandering around the city, the high priest Nalong suddenly shouted loudly, but he saw the camp outside the city.
It was already quiet. Not to mention there was no sound. Even the tents and other fires that had been lit just now were all extinguished. The camp was lifeless in the dark night. It was terrifyingly quiet, but also strangely quiet. Quli was biting.
Lip, eyes bloodshot, staring in the direction of the camp, and after a while of silence, he asked suspiciously: "High Priest, what's going on?"
"I don't know." Nalong shook his head, pondered for a moment and then continued: "General, the Tang army came in a strange way. There must be a trick in it. We'd better defend the city and wait until dawn to see everything."
"No, once the camp is lost, our army has lost its retreat, how can we afford to wait!" Qulishi rejected Nalong's suggestion and hurriedly sent out his personal guards to urge Baye Tuo to send troops quickly.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Nalong smiled bitterly and said: "Since the commander-in-chief wants to send troops, it is better to send some people to attack. If the enemy is too strong, the soldiers who go to fight do not have to return."
City, otherwise, if the Tang army followed them into the city, our army might not even be able to defend Kaiyang. If we really can't defeat it, we might as well let Ba Yetuo lead his army to Shenwu and ask the Pugu tribe to send troops to help.
And inform the eldest prince that everything is ready."
Qu Lishe thought for a while, but there was really no other way, so he nodded and said: "Then let Ba Yetuo lead a thousand people to charge, and we will see the situation before deciding what to do."
At two o'clock in the morning, the Kaiyang City Gate that had just been closed suddenly burst open again. More than a thousand Ba Ye ancient cavalry rushed out with torches, shouting all the way to the camp only two miles away from the city gate. What is interesting is: Ba Ye
The shouts of the Yegu Cavalry were quite loud, but they did not move quickly, and they looked cautious.
One mile, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, until the ancient cavalrymen of Beye were already only thirty meters away from the camp, but the camp was always quiet, not a single sound was heard, and the inexplicable Beye
The ancient cavalry did not dare to rush in, and they all stopped in confusion. General Tuo Tuo stood in front of the queue. After listening quietly for a while, with a wave of his hand, a dozen cavalry rushed towards the open gate of the camp.
