Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 325 Ambush, let’s do it!

Chapter 325 Ambush, let’s do it!
In a camp a hundred miles north of Yanqi State.

More than twenty wounded scouts entered the camp. Amid the exclamations of their companions, one of them headed towards the tent in the middle.

"I need to see Master Tuo Tuo Mu urgently."

"Come in."

The sound of tuotuomu came from the tent.

"grown ups."

"Your hand is injured?"

Tuo Tuo Mu looked over and frowned.

This time, he was ordered to lead three thousand elite cavalry all the way south in order to reach the Kingdom of Yanqi as soon as possible and then clear the obstacles on the road.

However, they did not expect that as soon as they sent their troops out, they encountered the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

"You also encountered the Tang cavalry?"

"Yes, we encountered a 1,000-man Tang cavalry. These people moved very quickly and were heading in the direction of Yanqi."

"I think it's the reinforcements from Yanqi."

Tuotuomu pondered and asked, "How many casualties?"

"Only 27 of our men returned safely, and the rest all died at the hands of the Tang army."

"With 300 against 1,000, we are lucky to come back alive."

Tuo Tuo Mu nodded, but the scout in front of him looked embarrassed, "Your Excellency, the enemy only has 500 people."

"five hundred?"

Tuotuomu's face darkened. "Five hundred of us killed your three hundred scouts?"

"Sir, please calm down."

The scout immediately knelt on the ground. "Originally, we were evenly matched, but we didn't expect that the other side had reinforcements."

"Although their reinforcements are not numerous, they all have powerful weapons in their hands."

"Before we even saw the other side's people, our people were shot and killed by the other side."

Ok?
Hearing this, Tuotumu frowned and immediately thought of the news that had come from Persia.

"But it's a rare fire gun in the Tang army?"

"I think so."

"This weapon is extremely powerful. The leather armor we were wearing could not resist it at all. After just one encounter, our tribesmen were shot dead on the spot."

"If they didn't have such amazing weapons, they would never have gotten any advantage from us."

Tuotuomu hesitated and nodded.

The 3,000 cavalrymen under his command were all carefully trained by him. The 300 elite cavalrymen could definitely match the 500 elite cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty.

If they attack them by surprise, even if the enemy has a thousand people, they may not be able to withstand their attack.

Now, he was at a disadvantage because of the opponent's weapons, which was understandable.

"Besides, these people should be the elite of the Tang army. Each of them is wearing armor and is hard to be hurt by arrows!"

Possessing powerful weapons and armor with amazing defensive power...

It’s not a bad loss.

Tuo Tuo Mu nodded. "Besides that, what useful information can you get?"

The scout thought for a moment and said, "When the reinforcements arrived, the enemy was shouting something like sir has orders. We were too busy to find out who this person was and where he came from."

"gentlemen?"

Tuotuomu smiled calmly, "I think it must be the businessman Su Chen who is beside the prince."

Scout: "Does your Excellency know this man?"

Tuo Tuo Mu: "News came from Chang'an that the one leading the troops this time is General Xue Wanche, and Su Chen is the military advisor for this army."

"However, the fact that they divided their troops into two places does make this general a little curious."

After pondering for a moment, Tuo Tuo Mu said in a deep voice, "Are they heading towards Yanqi this time?"

"Exactly!"

Tuotuomu's eyes lit up, this was good news!

Turning his eyes to the sand table in front of him, Tuo Tuomu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a mountain pass.

This is the closest road to Luntai City. If Su Chen and others want to enter Yanqi Kingdom, they must pass through here.

"Send the order to assemble!"

Tuo Tuo Mu suddenly turned around, walked aside and picked up his sword.

If they were captured before Su Chen and others entered Luntai City, the Tang army would definitely be cautious!

Woohoo!

Bursts of horn sounds rang out in the camp.

Just a moment.

More than two thousand elite cavalry are ready to go.

"Leave 500 people to take care of the injured tribesmen, and the rest will follow me to the Luntai City Pass!"

Tuo Tuo Mu jumped on his horse, raised his sword and shouted: "Capture Su Chen and others before they reach Luntai City!"

"set off!"

……

"Sir, further ahead is Luntai City."

Cheng Chumo glanced at the map in his hand, "But before entering Luntai City, we may have to pass through a pass in Luntai City."

"This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Yanqi Kingdom has stationed 500 elite soldiers here."

Su Chen took a look at the map in Cheng Chumo's hand. The pass was indeed extremely dangerous, with mountains on both sides. The only way in was to enter through the narrow passage between the two mountains.

It would be really interesting if someone set up ambushes on both sides of this valley.

For some reason, after seeing such a dangerous place, Su Chen's mind suddenly popped up the famous scene of Prime Minister Cao.

I laugh at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom. If I had ambushed an army here beforehand when I was going to fight, what could you do to me?

Su Chen knocked his head and looked at Cao Yuan beside him, "Are there any pursuers behind us?"

Cao Yuan shook his head. "Those twenty or thirty Turkic cavalrymen have been timidly defeated. How dare they follow us?"

"Then enter Luntai City as soon as possible."

Su Chen pointed at Luntai City and said, "I think Jing Heng and his men have already stationed here."

Cheng Chumo smiled and put away the map. "Speed up and head to Luntai City."

Su Chen: "Order ten people to patrol and guard behind us to prevent the Turkic cavalry from chasing us."

Cheng Chumo nodded and made arrangements immediately.

Half an hour later.

The pass outside Luntai City was clearly visible, and a flag of the Tang army also appeared on it!

"Sir, Jing Heng has indeed arrived in Luntai City."

Cheng Chumo pointed at the flag in the distance and said, "They should be staying at the pass now, waiting to join us."

"Then..."

"Report!"

At this time, a scout rode over in a hurry, "Sir, the Turkic cavalry are chasing us, there are at least a thousand of them!"

The action is fast.

Su Chen smiled. It was not surprising that the other party wanted to eliminate their cavalry before entering the territory of Yanqi.

"Captain Cheng!"

"exist!"

"We can arrange for people to hide on both sides of the forest!"

"what?"

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment. "Sir, as long as we speed up, we can enter the pass before they catch up. They will have no chance. Why set an ambush here?"

“They can’t imagine it.”

Su Chen pointed to the flag on the pass and said with a smile: "If they chase us here, they will only think that we have entered the pass, but they will not expect that we will set an ambush here."

"so……"

"Attack them when they are least prepared, and catch them unawares!"

Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, but he hesitated and said, "But we only have 500 people. I'm afraid it will be difficult to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"

Su Chen pointed at Sun Qiang and the others and said, "They are carrying bombs."

The lack of numbers can be completely compensated by bombs, and even the cavalry can be directly destroyed! "I understand!"

Cheng Chumo nodded and went to make arrangements immediately.

Su Chen: "Sun Qiang, go and plant the bomb now!"

"Yes!"

After a stick of incense.

Su Chen and others all hid in the woods on both sides, waiting quietly.

……

The pass of Luntai city.

Li Jingheng listened to the scout's report with a puzzled look on his face.

Su Chen and his men had clearly brought their men to the pass, but why didn't they come in and instead set an ambush on both sides of the forest?
Who is this ambush?

Waves of dull horse hoof sounds came from a distance.

Li Jingheng and the defenders at the pass all changed color. Just from the sound of horse hooves, they could infer that there were a lot of people coming!

Sure enough, a large number of Turkic cavalry soon appeared in the distance!
Just for a moment.

Li Jingheng suddenly realized that Su Chen was ambushing these cavalrymen!
The Turkic cavalry wanted to stop Su Chen and his men before they entered the pass, but they didn't expect that Su Chen would take advantage of the situation and set up an ambush here, waiting for them to fall into the tiger's mouth!

but.

They only have 500 people, how can they deal with so many cavalry?

"Evil Slido, I hope you can cooperate with us to fight outside later."

"Captain Li, do you know what you are talking about?"

Esilido frowned and looked at Li Jingheng, pointing at the army in the distance and said, "They are at least a cavalry team of a thousand people. You want my men to go out and fight them?"

"This is undoubtedly a road to self-destruction!"

"Feel sorry!"

“It’s hard for me to help you!”

"I don't need your people to come out to fight. I need you to open the gate and let us out at the critical moment!"

"no!"

Ethildo shook his head again, "Once the pass is opened, these Turkic cavalry will most likely rush in, and then Luntai City will be theirs!"

"you……"

Just when Li Jingheng was angry and was about to lobby Esilido again, bursts of thunder suddenly sounded in the distance.

Boom boom boom!
The sudden explosion not only shook the mountains and forests on both sides, but also shook the hearts of E'slido and Tuotomu!

There is an ambush!
Tuo Tuo Mu looked terrified. Who was ambushing them?
Bang bang bang!
At the moment when the explosion ended, bursts of gunfire and sounds of breaking air continued to ring out in the mountains and forests on both sides.

In the falling snow, the figures drawing their bows and arrows made the bark of the wood numb.

It was Su Chen and others whom he was chasing!
They actually abandoned the pass that was so close at hand and instead ambushed them in the mountains and forests on both sides!
"Get out!"

Boom boom boom!
Just as the cavalry in the rear were preparing to turn around and leave, bursts of roars rang out again.

The frightened war horses twisted and galloped wildly, completely ignoring the control of the cavalry on them.

One by one, the cavalrymen fell to the ground screaming under the attacks of bows and arrows, muskets, and war horses.

Just as Tuo Tuo Mu was about to give an order, even his most obedient horse went crazy and threw him off.

"Abandon the warhorse!"

Tuotuomu shouted, "Everyone gather around me and return the way we came!"

The war horses are out of control, and forcible control will only make them more crazy and will become a hindrance to them.

The best way is to abandon the horse and quickly exit the enemy's encirclement!
As for the forests on both sides...

Tuo Tuo Mu had never thought about it at all!
Because the Tang army’s flag was still hanging on the pass!
Who knows how many Tang troops and Yanqi soldiers will rush out from the mountains and forests on both sides in the next second?

"Captain Cheng!"

"exist!"

"Ride on horseback!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, and the cavalrymen jumped on their horses and drew their swords.

"kill!"

Da da da.

From the woods on both sides, two cavalry units suddenly rushed out.

Tuotumu and his men, who had abandoned their war horses, were simply unable to resist this force of 500 cavalrymen!
"good chance!"

At the pass, Li Jingheng's eyes were shining.

"Evil Slido, now is the perfect time for us to take action!"

"no!"

Ethildo shook his head. "Although the Turkic cavalry has been frightened, my responsibility is to ensure the safety of the pass. We cannot open the pass!"

"You bastard..."

Li Jingheng was so angry that he grabbed Esilido's clothes and said, "Do you know that our Tang soldiers are helping your Yanqi country to kill the enemy?"

"You are standing here now, watching us help you kill the enemy, and you are indifferent?"

"Sorry, duty lies!"

Evil Slido remained indifferent.

Li Jingheng was so angry that he drew out his sword, but the soldiers around Esilido did the same and looked at him vigilantly.

"Captain Li, if he dares to do this, he must have his reasons."

Evil Slido said in a deep voice: "You should trust him instead of letting me take the risk of opening the door!"

Li Jingheng stared at Esilido coldly. He now understood why the merchants of the Tang Dynasty had such a low opinion of the Kingdom of Yanqi.

Because that’s who they are!

Li Jingheng took a deep breath, put away his sword, and looked towards the battlefield in the distance.

Everything will be fine.

wrong!

Brother Su will definitely defeat them all!

for sure!
The battle did not last very long, to be exact, it was only a quarter of an hour.

It was a completely one-sided massacre!

What kind of cavalry is it if it doesn't have war horses?
They are just a group of living targets waiting to be slaughtered!

When Tuotumu and his men abandoned their war horses, their death was already doomed!

Cheng Chumo came back with the cavalry, and each of them exuded a strong smell of blood.

"Sir, let Totomu run away."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Chen waved his hand.

Tuo Tuo Mu and his men had abandoned their war horses, so they were doomed to die on the plains. However, there were continuous mountains and many trees on both sides, so they hid in the forests. How could Cheng Chu Mo and his men ride their horses to chase and kill them?

"Clear the battlefield."

Su Chen said slowly, "Kill all those who are not dead."

"Yes!"

After Cheng Chumo gave the instructions, he looked towards the pass, "Sir, Li Jingheng didn't come out to help!"

Su Chen: "I believe him."

Cheng Chumo became more and more angry, "If it's not him, then it must be the general of Yanqi State!"

Su Chen suddenly smiled and looked at Cheng Chumo, "Why are you so angry?"

"We helped them deal with the Turks, but they didn't even bother to help. I really want to chop down that guard there!"

"Then do it."

Su Chen said lightly.

Cheng Chumo: “???”

"Really, really?"
