Two days passed in a blink of an eye. When the date for launching the attack arrived, the army arrived at the already selected crossing point and crossed the river in batches to move north.
He Ruodun led a thousand fine cavalry as the vanguard of the army and set off towards the enemy camp first. In order to deceive others, this group of troops was mostly composed of Xianbei soldiers in the army, and they did not carry any equipment or flags with obvious characteristics.
It doesn't look much different from the Hu tribes living here.
The Turkic camp was very large, and a large space was left between the felt tents of some residents for the movement of cattle and horses. In addition, there were many people and horses, so the entire camp was spread out in front of Yinshan Mountain for ten meters.
A range of several miles.
Such a camp setting is not conducive to launching a surprise attack. After one area is attacked, other places will quickly become alert. Therefore, the troops can only be dispersed to launch an attack at the same time, creating as much large-scale turmoil as possible, so that the opponent does not know where the enemy is and panics.
It is difficult to respond effectively when you are confused.
He Ruoden adopted exactly this tactic. Not long after his troops advanced, they encountered scouts scattered around the camp, blocking and interrogating them. However, these scouts were shot and killed on the spot by He Ruoden and the soldiers around him who raised their hands and drew their bows.
, and immediately He Ruoden shouted "kill", and the thousand soldiers quickly dispersed on their horses, charging towards the enemy camp on the opposite side in groups of three to five.
Due to the large scope of the camps, there were no restrictions such as fences and horses outside these camps. Seeing these enemies rushing towards the camps like wolves and tigers, the Turkic soldiers in the camps fled in panic.
The soldiers further away still had time to return to their felt tents to pick up their weapons and prepare to resist and counterattack under the organization of their respective leaders.
"Don't fight and fight, drive away the thieves!"
He Ruoden shouted loudly while galloping his horse between the camps. Their vanguard force was not designed to kill the enemy, but to rush into the enemy camp and create chaos. Once they stopped, they would fight with the enemy, even if they were killed.
, but then they have to face a counterattack by the enemy who are fully equipped in the enemy camp, which is not worth the loss.
All the officers and soldiers also knew the dangers, and while galloping on their horses, they used their guns to shoot, or drew their bows and fired to drive away the enemy soldiers. Even if they saw the enemy soldiers falling to the ground, they would often just give them a casual blow, even if they didn't.
If they can finish off the opponent, they won't rein in their horses and stop to hit them. When they see that the enemy soldiers are gathering, they will expel the random soldiers to attack, allowing the turmoil in the camp to continue and gradually spread inside.
.
As the charge in the camp deepened, a large cattle and horse stable appeared in the field of vision. Seeing the cows and horses walking in panic in the fence, He Ruoden's face suddenly lit up, and he immediately summoned the soldiers to gather towards him with the sound of the thunder, and then
Then he rushed towards the stable.
People more or less still have some rationality, but once animals are frightened, they lose all reason and run rampant without being able to restrain themselves. When He Ruodun led his troops to the outside of the stable, he chopped down the fences with knives and swords.
After that, the cattle and horses in the stables immediately swarmed out and started running in panic in the camp.
The camp was originally in chaos, and with the addition of these rampaging beasts, it suddenly became even more chaotic. Some Turkic soldiers who had gathered in the distance were also scattered by the running herds, and they could only drag their weapons.
Run further away.
The news of the attack on the camp was soon reported to Mugan Khan's big tent. After Mugan Khan learned the news, he couldn't believe it for a while, because since the fall of Rouran, the entire grassland has
There is no opponent in Xanadu who dares to provoke and attack the Turks. Moreover, there are no powerful forces at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain today. Some small and medium-sized tribes living here have already been dealt with and have been frightened into submission.
However, at this time, the chaos and fighting in the outer camp could be vaguely heard, and Mugan Khan couldn't help but not believe it. He quickly ordered to summon his troops to prepare for battle. At the same time, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that the Qi army is chasing here? Hurry up!
Immediately notify the officers and soldiers of Wei State and ask them to move closer to my tent to avoid being scattered by strong enemies!"
At this time, he did not realize who the real enemy was, and the heavy goods donated by the Western Wei Dynasty and the flattering gestures of Li Yunxin and others made Mugan Khan not think that the Western Wei Dynasty had the courage to attack him, but wanted to give him a favor.
The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty provided certain protection.
Yang Zhong, Li Yunxin and others in the camp have been on alert in recent days, ready to go into battle at any time. When the Turkic envoys came here on the orders of the Khan, the officers and soldiers in the camp had already begun to put on armor. When they heard the envoys conveying
When the Khan gave the order, even Yang Zhong, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but sigh: "Who can survive if God will kill him!"
The elite Turkic armed forces were mainly concentrated near the Khan's tent. Following the order from Mugan Khan, the powerful chiefs and dignitaries gathered their troops one after another, and came fully armed to the outside of the Khan's tent to prepare for battle.
Life on the grasslands is not peaceful to begin with, and today's Turks are rising rapidly and their martial virtues are at their peak. Although the attack was very sudden, tens of thousands of soldiers soon gathered outside the Khan's tent.
Members, although the scene was still a bit noisy, under the efforts of their respective leaders, it was still orderly in the chaos.
Moreover, with so many soldiers gathered here, no matter how many enemies attacked, they would never be able to break through the Turkic battle formation in a short period of time, threatening the safety of the Khan and all the dignitaries. At this time, Mugan Khan also
Already with a calm look on his face, he dispatched troops, assigned combat tasks, and ordered his younger brother, Khan Ashinakutou, the leader of the land, to lead a group of troops to the place where the battle took place to meet the enemy.
At the same time, Yang Zhong and others also led his troops to the vicinity of the Khan's tent under the leadership of the Turkic envoys. Unlike most Turks who were armed with light cavalry, Yang Zhong did not let his tribesmen ride war horses, but acted as
The infantry battle formation, and armored weapons and other sophisticated equipment that had been hidden before were also equipped and armed at this time, creating a murderous formation.
When such an obviously alien army came here, and it was so well-armed, it immediately aroused uneasiness among other Turkic soldiers, and they subconsciously kept a certain distance.
At this time, Mugan Khan was still communicating with his subordinates, and did not notice that the team that he thought needed protection had exposed its fangs.
Although they were surrounded by enemies, there was no fear on the faces of Yang Zhong and the other soldiers. The Turkic envoys led them to an outer position near the tent and stopped moving forward, as far away as Mugan Khan.
The position was nearly a mile away, and in the middle was a dense crowd of Turkic soldiers reining in their horses and waiting for orders.
At this time, as Mu Gan Khan issued another order, another Turkic group of ten thousand people left and rushed to the battlefield. As this group left, a large gap suddenly appeared near the tent.
"The Turkic thieves are rampant, betraying alliances, extorting money, and bullying our country! Tang Gong's army has arrived. All the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy and serve the country!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy formation had not yet adjusted to fill the gap, Yang Zhong raised his arms and immediately waved the big spear in his hand to kill the nearest Turkic formation, while Li Yunxin and other soldiers in the rear also waved their weapons to kill.
to the enemy.
Suddenly, the elbows and armpits changed, and the Turkic army formation suddenly became panicked. Especially the Turkic formation that was suddenly attacked suddenly became disorganized, and the guards around the Khan also stepped forward to protect him.
The Khan retreated to one side.
"How dare these Wei dogs bully me! Kill, kill all these dog thieves!"
When Muzhan Khan saw that he had actually led a wolf into his house and actively led the enemy to his side, he was furious. He shouted loudly and ordered his troops to go forward to surround and kill these daring enemies.
The reaction of these Turkic soldiers near the main tent was not untimely. Although they were attacked unexpectedly, they quickly adjusted. Several Turkic chiefs led their own troops to charge towards the Wei army's formation.
Come.
Yang Zhong dared to attack directly within the enemy army, and naturally he did not just rely on bravery and recklessness. When he saw the enemy army coming to attack him, his troops moved closer to him and formed a solid battle formation, with spears thrusting from both sides.
Like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns, all the Turkic soldiers who came close to him were all turned upside down by the assassins.
Yang Zhong, on the other hand, faced the ferocious enemy offensive in front, and with the sword in his hand constantly dancing, he carved a bloody path through the enemy formation, and led his troops to stride forward and seize the Khan's tent.
Although Mu Gan Khan had already retreated to one side under the guard arch, the large tent still contained the rich gifts given by the Western Wei Dynasty. After seeing the enemy entering the big tent, Mu Gan Khan was in a bad mood.
He suddenly became anxious and shouted orders repeatedly: "Take back the tent and kill all the thieves!"
The Khan's tent was in chaos, and the fighting on the outer battlefield was also fierce. After He Ruoden led the vanguard to break through an enemy camp, he encountered an organized cavalry team of the enemy and attacked them head-on. He Ruoden only had a thousand soldiers under his command.
They can only restrain their troops and move to the side to avoid the battle.
At the same time, the rear group led by Li Tai had also moved forward, and each general led a group of troops to strangle the enemy cavalry like a dragon.
Li Xian's son, Li Chong, was added to Tang Gong's confidants. When he saw several other people rushing forward to kill the enemy, the young man's heart couldn't help but boil with excitement. He just thought that his duty was to defend Tang Gong and he could not go in and kill wantonly.
Enemy, I can't help but feel a little regretful.
But when he was still looking forward, there was a sound of horns and a sudden sound of wind beside him. His eyes flickered and he saw that Tang Gong, who was still behind him, had already rushed into the battlefield on horseback. At the same time,
His cousin Li Ya shouted from the side: "Isn't my cousin timid? Hurry up and follow Duke Tang into the battle to kill the enemy!"
