Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3246 Snow Night Raid
Li Xiaogong looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Since the big cannibal invaded the Western Regions, his grasp of the timing has always been unexpected. Every time he can cut through the gaps in our army and attack us by surprise. Ordinarily, the big cannibal is brave and good at fighting, but In terms of tactics and strategy, it is not enough to compare with us. This is not arrogance, but a fact. However, every step of it can walk in the emptiness of our army, especially since the start of the war. It is unbelievable to inflict great damage on our army."

He has fought against the Hu clan for half his life, so how can he not know how good the Hu clan is?

Those ruthless and blood-drinking barbarians may be good players when they charge into battle, fearless and fearless, but when it comes to tactics and strategy, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Han people.

Even so, the Anxi army equipped with firearms was still retreating steadily, and the opportunity was lost.

If it is said that there is no inner ghost who betrayed him, even Li Xiaogong would not believe it if he was killed...

Xue Rengui worried: "The commander-in-chief thought that someone had informed the big cannibal of Duke Yue's whereabouts, so the big cannibal sent a cavalry to sneak attack from behind while Duke Yue's attention was in Jiaohe City?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "This commander is not a man of gods, how can he be a prophet? But you remember, facing the enemy, the most taboo is to take chances. What are we most afraid of now? The fall of Jiaohe City, and the blocking of reinforcements , leading to the complete severance of the back road! Therefore, regardless of whether the target of the cannibal is Yue Guogong and You Tunwei, we must prepare for the worst."

No one can predict things like a god. Throughout the ages, the people who are known for their wisdom and memory, do nothing but think about Zhou Xiang out of time, so they can only predict the enemy's opportunity first.

Moreover, not only should the enemy not be underestimated on the battlefield, but the enemy should be overestimated as much as possible, so as to be victorious and undefeated.

Xue Rengui was taught, and asked again: "Then how should our army respond?"

Li Xiaogong said with a long smile: "The big cannibals are not good at strategy, but now they are playing sneak attack tactics. How can we let these barbarians be better than before? Gather the soldiers and horses, light the fire in the third watch, and cook in the fourth watch , before the fifth watch, the whole army launched a sneak attack, hit it with one hit, and immediately fled far away, teaching the big cannibal a lesson!"

"Here!"

Xue Rengui was refreshed, and immediately got up and walked out of the camp. In the cold wind and heavy snow, he notified the generals and schools of the brigades to attack the enemy's camp before dawn.

Li Xiaogong sat alone in the tent, sipping wine and meat, eating with relish.

He was originally from a powerful family, but he followed his family to fight for the world. What kind of turbulent scene has he not seen in his half life?Although the current situation is urgent, it does not make him anxious and angry.

He understands better that the reason why the situation in the Western Regions is tense and the various forces are ready to move is actually just a manifestation of the struggle for power in Chang'an.

If Chang'an is unstable, the Western Regions will be unstable. Even Shandong, Hebei, Jiangnan and other places are undercurrents, and everyone has their own thoughts.

He has never worried about the ownership of the Western Regions, even if the Anxi Army is defeated now, so what if all the Western Regions fall into the hands of big cannibals?As long as the domestic political situation is stable, within five years, the army can go west to Yumen Pass, drive out all the big cannibals, and restore the rule over the Western Regions.

On the contrary, if the political situation in Chang'an is ups and downs, and all forces are exerting their strengths one after another, causing Shenzhou to be turbulent and wars are everywhere, even if the Anxi Army can defend the Western Regions, so what?Sooner or later, it is the end of the fall.

Therefore, the key right now lies in Chang'an, not the Western Regions.

As long as the Anxi army can deal with the big cannibals as much as possible and prevent them from approaching Yumen Pass to threaten the Hexi counties, it will be considered a great achievement.

*****
In the early hours of the morning, the north wind that had been shouting all night had subsided slightly, but the heavy snow was still "swirling" down, with a thick layer on the ground, and the snow in the north wind was knee-deep.

The sky in the Western Regions was very bright at night, coupled with heavy snowfall and cloudy clouds, when it fell to Mao, it was still dark between the sky and the earth.

Although Gongyue City has an excellent geographical location, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack when facing water and mountains, but the city is narrow and occupies a very small area. More than ten thousand troops gathered here can only be stationed outside the city.

The soldiers of the Anxi army had pulled up their camp tents after eating, and the soldiers, such as luggage and fire heads, escorted all kinds of supplies back to Gongyue City. Another part of the soldiers was led by Li Xiaogong to guard Gongyue City. , and the open space between the rivers, secretly approaching the big cannibal's camp.

The army of 5000 people was silent, the guide led the way, and all the lights were extinguished, like ghosts on a snowy night...

At the first hour of the hour, under the guidance of the guide, Xue Rengui rode to a hillside, looked towards the west, and saw the big cannibal camp stretching for dozens of miles under the heavy snow, lit up, but silent.

Before dawn, the human body is at its weakest and most distressed. What's more, due to the serious shortage of food and supplies, the big cannibals have a serious shortage of daily food supply. , more and more exhausted.

In order to avoid being discovered by the big cannibal scouts, Xue Rengui jumped off his horse, took out a map from his arms, and unfolded it. The guide also came to him, pointed to the terrain comparison map in front of him, and described the surrounding terrain.Xue Rengui memorized it in his heart, and quickly formulated a suitable strategy, from where to rush into the enemy camp, where to rush, and where to charge so that he can easily get rid of the cannibal's pursuers...

After a while, Xue Rengui put away the map, got on his horse, looked back at the five thousand elite riders lurking behind the hill, and raised his arms high.

In an instant, the five thousand cavalry, motionless like sculptures, all mobilized and rushed up the hill.

Xue Rengui reached out and took off the gold-plated phoenix wings on the victory hook, tightly grasped the cold boring bar with his palms, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards the enemy camp down the mountain first.

The five thousand cavalry behind him were also activated at the same time, galloping down from the mountain, taking advantage of the advantage of the location to instantly increase the speed of the horse, the five thousand cavalry rolled up the flying snow, and charged violently like an avalanche. In the enemy camp.

Nearly before the enemy camp, hundreds of cavalry in the front row took off the thunderbolts from their waists, ignited them, and threw them violently.

The kerosene-filled thunder fell in the enemy camp, and when it exploded, countless kerosene-stained sparks were projected to the west in all directions, and then attached to any object and burned crazily.

Subsequently, five thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy camp.

"Boom boom boom!"

The earth-shattering sound shook the vast earth, and the big cannibal soldiers were awakened from their sleep. Before they could dress up, they rushed out of the barracks with their weapons, and saw the Tang army under the heavy snow, as if falling from the sky. God soldiers appeared suddenly in front of them. The tall and strong soldiers on horses were armored and armed to the teeth. Under the willful charge, the chaotic Arab soldiers had no way to resist and suffered a tragic massacre.

No one would have imagined that on such a snowy and windy night, the Anxi army could march brazenly and attack the camp without anyone noticing...

One side is like a crazy tiger, the other side is caught off guard, and the Arab soldiers are brave if they are brave, but their tactical quality is much different from that of the Tang army. Under the chaos, countless soldiers fled frantically like headless flies, so that the generals in the army could not organize at all. An effective counterattack, suddenly, Tang Jun's iron hooves came in front of him, the horizontal knife swept across, and blood ran.

The Arab soldiers were routed and fled crying, like sheep being chased by wolves.

In addition, the Anxi Army threw thunderbolts everywhere and set the camps ablaze. The fire was burning in the cold wind, and the thick smoke shot straight into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

The entire Arab camp was like a purgatory on earth. The Anxi army galloped with iron hoofs and swept across with horizontal knives. Blood and fire stained the dawn of this snowy night.

However, the number of enemy troops is large, no matter how elite the Anxi army is, once surrounded by the enemy, it will be difficult to survive. Therefore, after a burst of fighting, leaving corpses everywhere, Xue Rengui took the lead with gold-plated phoenix wings and led the army to the northeast. Fang kills.

There is a narrow river there, which is frozen in winter and can be used by cavalry. Thousands of cavalry followed Xue Rengui's footsteps and killed them from the enemy's camp.

One hit hits the target and travels thousands of miles away.

When Ye Qide was awakened from his sleep by the thunderous thunder and shouts and wailing, he ran out of the camp dressed neatly and holding a scimitar under the service of his own soldiers, and what he saw was corpses lying on his pillow, bloody flames, and countless soldiers The wolf rushed to the ground, and the whole camp was in a mess.

Ye Qide's eyes were red and his canthus were about to burst. He cut off the flagpole beside him with a single knife, and he was furious: "It's unreasonable! The Tang people deceived me to eat and eat no one? Three times, two times, several times, except for such despicable behaviors as sneak attacks , Don’t they dare to fight me upright? A bunch of cowards, I’m so angry!”

The soldiers around him cautiously reminded: "Actually, don't we sneak attack them this time..."

Ye Zide was taken aback for a moment, then almost died of anger, and scolded himself like Lao Tzu?

He was so angry that he kicked the soldiers around him to the ground, violently waved the scimitar in his hand, and yelled frantically: "Assemble the army, catch up, I will raze Gongyue City to the ground, no matter the soldiers or civilians in the city, slaughter the city for three days!" , not one left!"
