As a nomadic people, the Khitan camp did not have a city.
However, in order to facilitate the management of cattle, sheep and horses, and to guard against wolves, wild beasts and bandits, the Khitan people still built temporary fences around their residences.
This kind of wooden fence may be a little troublesome for ordinary bandits, but in front of the elite left guards, this fence is not much better than a paper wall.
Under the cover of darkness, the sergeants from the Tiaodang camp rushed all the way. The shepherd dogs in the Khitan camp just started barking, and the Khitan sergeants on patrol were still wondering why these dogs were barking so much.
Worse, rows of crossbow arrows had already passed through the wooden fence of the camp and pinned the sentries to the ground.
Then, several figures quickly rushed to the wooden fence door, the steel knives in their hands flashed with cold light, and with a muffled sound, the wooden fence turned into pieces of wood on the ground.
"Cut down the fence and remove the antlers! Hurry, the army behind will be here soon. Try to expand the entrance as much as possible! Hurry!"
With the low roar of the wheat iron staff, the sergeants of the Tiaodang camp who followed behind ordered them to dismount, use their swords, and move their hands. A thousand people took action at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the original fence gate
The place was cleared and a passage more than twenty feet wide was opened.
At this moment, there was a dull sound of horse hoofbeats, and an old general with white beard and hair, together with a little old general with half white beard and hair, rushed into the Khitan camp with three thousand armored soldiers, like wolves and tigers.
The two leaders were none other than old man Yu Juluo and his second disciple Song Laosheng.
As a veteran general on the battlefield, Old Yu Juluo is still quite capable. Although the left guard army that just took over this mansion was only half a day old, with Old Man Yu's outstanding command skills, he managed to lead these three thousand left guard troops.
Gotta be well organized.
"Get in formation, sprinkle fire oil, and set fire! Maintain the impact speed and don't stop! Charge with me!"
Old Man Yu shouted low and took the lead to cut open a bag of kerosene. He raised his hand and sprinkled it on a nearby tent. At the same time, he flicked the torch on the tent with his other hand without looking at the result.
, Old Man Yu had already urged his horse forward and galloped in.
The soldiers of the left guard army behind were already quite skilled in the business of setting fires. Now that Old Man Yu was setting an example, they naturally followed suit. They all cut off the kerosene bags and spread the oil while setting fires.
Under the leadership of two fierce general-level old men, Yuju Luosheng, Laosheng, the left guards of this mansion rushed all the way, and everything they passed was instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Along the way, the old man Yu Juluo and others encountered almost no decent resistance. Even the occasional sentry who was dedicated to his job and had not slept yet had no time to send the alarm back to the Chinese military tent.
Killed by the sword of Zuo Weijun.
Old Yu Juluo's side had a very smooth start. Zhang Xutuo and Yuwen Chengdu from the other two directions were also roughly equal, and were quite skilled in the business of arson.
In about a quarter of an hour, the three of them led their troops to drill through the Khitan camp, leaving three to long lines of fire on the road.
After completing the first penetration, the three teams were quickly divided into nine teams, holding torches, and began to circle and wreak havoc in the Khitan camp. In just half a cup of tea, the entire Khitan camp had completely turned into a sea of fire.
At this time, most of the Khitan sergeants who were hiding in the "Maodong" camp, only a small number were more alert. They hurriedly put on their clothes and stood up, sticking their heads out of the tent, intending to take a look first, and more
People, but they didn't realize that someone was coming to steal the camp, and everyone was still snoring so loudly that it shook the sky.
On the contrary, the shepherd dogs raised by the Khitan people were very alert and barked almost immediately...
However, the war has reached this point, no matter how many dogs there are, it is useless, and it has no bearing on the overall situation at all.
According to the key points of stealing the camp instilled by Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er, the nine teams of men and horses spread out their formations and rushed through the Khitan camp without stopping for a moment. Anyone who showed up prematurely would be killed by these left guards.
The body and head were separated.
After burning and killing for nearly two quarters of an hour, a large number of Khitan soldiers finally became alert. They were all wearing sheepskin coats, bows and arrows, and planned to come out to meet the enemy.
But under the brutal attack of these nine left guard troops, although more and more people of the Khitan sergeants poured out of the tents, they were still unable to gather the troops, because once someone tried to gather the troops, they would be the first to gather troops.
Time was brutally suppressed by the Left Guards. Under the iron hooves of the Left Guards, it was trampled into flesh and watered the grassland.
The Khitan sergeants, who could only fight on their own, were naturally no match for the Left Guards who were good at group fights. They were cut into pieces in an unreasonable and brutal group fight!
When the second wave of attacking troops rushed into the Khitan camp, although more than half of the Khitan herdsmen had already woken up, the Khitan sergeants who rushed out of the camp could only fight with one person and one sword, or three or five people with three or five swords.
Facing the thousand-man-level Left Guard Army, the result was undoubtedly disappointing.
Although there are some centurions, thousands captains, chiefs and the like who plan to use their influence to gather a group of people, in fact, none of them can gather a team of more than a hundred people. Firstly, the Khitan people
They were too panicked and focused on escaping. How could they have time to pay attention to the chief? Secondly, the Sui soldiers attacked too fast. Basically, they would crush the Khitan herdsmen as soon as they saw an illegal opportunity.
Press forward!
At this point, the outcome of the Sui army's victory was basically doomed.
As time gradually passed, almost all the combustible things in the entire Khitan camp were ignited, but Yu Juluo and others did not dare to wreak havoc in the Khitan camp anymore.
It was not because the Khitan people's resistance was too strong, but because the fire was too strong, there were too many animals, and they were as tough as the left guard, so they had to gather their troops and slowly retreat away from the fire scene.
By this time, the entire Khitan camp was in chaos!
Since there were too many cattle, sheep and horses, the Khitan people adopted a herding policy for these livestock. At most, they could only drive the cattle and sheep into fences at night and pen them up.
And when these fences where livestock are kept are on fire, the animals inside start to go crazy and run rampant under the scorching flames!
Facing these completely crazy beasts, the Left Guards had to retreat temporarily and instead went to shoot cold arrows outside the Khitan camp.
At this time, most of the herdsmen had already woken up, but facing a crazy fire ox, fire sheep and fire horse, these Khitan herdsmen seemed to be little sheep in front of hungry wolves. They were so innocent.
Such helplessness! Even those herdsmen who are usually known as the strongest, here and now, can't withstand the impact of the herds of fire cattle and fire sheep. They are often knocked over in one encounter, and then thousands of them are killed.
Trampled by his hooves, it turned into flesh and mud on the ground.
Of course, there were also those clever herdsmen who, relying on their good luck, were lucky enough to escape the burning fire and the trampling of livestock. However, when they sneaked out of their tents, they discovered that they had just fallen into
Another wolf den.
The battle turned out like this, and even the instigator, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er, was somewhat unexpected.
After hearing the report from Yu Juluo and others, Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er was shocked, nodded expressionlessly, and ordered all the ambushers to move back three miles and prepare for the attack.
