Chapter 1,208: Raid on Zhao Army Camp

After listening to Shi A's introduction to the information he had found, Tian Yu was already determined. The Tang Army's more than 20,000 troops had arrived at the Changping battlefield as early as noon. However, in order not to be exposed prematurely, Tian Yu had ordered the army to retreat ten miles and hide. Several of their generals, after receiving the news that Zhao Jun had arrived, After hearing the news, they hurried over to check on the enemy's situation.

While they were talking, Zhao Jun's camp had been built. General Tian Yu was surprised that Zhao Jun's camp was so perfunctory. They just placed a few rows of horses and surrounded the entire camp. Perhaps in the eyes of Zhao Jun's officers and men, they were now in their own territory and there was no danger at all. If it hadn't been for the general's repeated emphasis, they would probably have avoided even resisting the horse.

You must know that among the Tang army, the most important thing is to camp out. Even if they are within their own sphere of influence, all camps must be set up meticulously and all defense facilities must be complete. If someone's camp is discovered, If you are so perfunctory, the general will most likely be held accountable, and the general responsible for setting up the camp will definitely be beheaded on the spot.

Seeing the situation in front of them, Tian Yu and Lu Zhong couldn't help but shake their heads. They originally thought it would be a big battle, but now it seems that they and others still thought too much.

Several people observed for a while, and after confirming again and again that Zhao Jun was not deliberately posing to confuse others, they quietly left the observation place, leaving only the Shadow Guard here to continue to observe Zhao Jun's movements, and the rest returned to their respective armies. , prepare for tomorrow's war.

…

There was no words all night, and just after the third watch, all the troops of the Tang Army began to assemble at the predetermined location. Because of the night, the troops of the army were not very fast. With the guidance of the moonlit night, until the first moment of the fifth watch, all the troops and horses of the Tang army had arrived. He arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled at the end of the fifth watch, just in time for the army to rest for a while before launching an attack on Zhao Jun.

As time passed, it was finally time to launch an attack. Tian Yu turned his head to look at the cavalry general beside him and nodded.

The general bowed his hands to Tian Yu, then turned and left. Soon he came to the cavalry group that had been prepared. A moment later, four thousand cavalry were like a rolling tide, rushing towards Zhao Jun's camp under the slightly white sky. The lurking position of their army was about 400 steps away from Zhao Jun's camp. For the cavalry, this distance was only a moment.

At this time, in Zhao Jun's camp, the leading soldiers were already preparing for the meal. As time went on, the sound of the four thousand cavalry finally reached the camp. At first it sounded like rolling thunder coming from the horizon, but the camp The soldiers inside quickly discovered something was wrong, because the rumbling sound kept coming.

Finally, someone saw a huge black shadow rushing towards them in the dim morning light. As the black shadow got closer and closer, someone finally saw clearly what the black shadow was, and there was a scream. The shouts pierced the air above the camp: "The enemy is attacking! The cavalry is attacking!"

For a moment, the entire camp suddenly became chaotic. Countless soldiers who were awakened by shouts and the sound of horse hooves rushed out of their tents, but they were all still wearing short shirts. This person didn't even put on any clothes, let alone any clothes. He said it was his own weapon and armor.

But when they found out, the cavalry was already only a few dozen steps away from the camp. When these awakened soldiers rushed out of the tent sleepily and looked at the other people yelling outside with confused faces, thousands of cavalry were like a wave. Like a huge wave from the sky, it rushed towards their camp.

For a moment, the simple horses on the outside of the camp were knocked away by the galloping war horses, and then fell into the camp, directly hitting the tents and soldiers. The camp was filled with screams. , However, this is only the beginning of Sergeant Zhao's nightmare.

The Juma that disappeared from the sky only hit a few lucky ones on the periphery. After all, the camp of 6,000 people was so big. But the thousands of cavalry and more than ten thousand iron hooves that followed made all Zhao soldiers terrified. In the thin morning breeze, groups of huge black shadows rushed towards me like huge waves.

But he was just standing there in a thin shirt, and no one could remain calm. As the cavalry rushed into Zhao Jun's camp one after another, the entire camp instantly became a hell on earth.

In the center of the camp, Hao Meng was still sleeping peacefully in the main tent. Who knew that when he was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by a huge noise. When Hao Meng was about to scold the soldiers at the door, the tent was suddenly opened, and his own soldier, Captain, rushed in and shouted: "General, it's bad, a large group of cavalry is coming." Come fighting this way, they have already entered our camp!"

"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from? Whose cavalry?" Hao Meng was stunned and asked;

"I don't know, there are at least thousands of people. General, it is no longer time to ask this. The cavalry is about to kill. Now the camp is in chaos. General, run quickly, it will be too late..."

Only then did Hao Meng realize that he knew what was going on in his camp. He had not stopped the camp yesterday. How could he withstand the attack of thousands of cavalry now? Hao Meng was a cavalryman himself and understood the consequences of thousands of cavalrymen attacking the camp.

Thinking of this, Hao Meng quickly stood up, hurriedly put on a robe, picked up his lance and walked out of the tent. As soon as he came out, Hao Meng was stunned by what he saw. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

The five thousand most elite soldiers and infantrymen of the Zhao army were like lambs that had been caught in a sheepfold by a wolf. They were running around frantically in the morning light. Thousands of cavalrymen were charging back and forth in the camp. When they encountered the fleeing Zhao soldiers, they would chop them down with a knife, knocking them to the ground, and then drive their horses to trample them.

Hao Meng shouted angrily and was about to rush towards the cavalry, but was pulled by his guards, and then pushed onto the warhorse with all his hands and feet, and then they were squeezed towards the barracks. Hao Meng's one thousand guards cavalrymen were camped next to his big tent. When the war broke out, the captain of the guards had already ordered the soldiers to start gathering. In a hurry, more than a hundred cavalrymen had been assembled, and they were heading towards the assembled cavalry.

After the cavalry rushed into the camp, the entire Zhao camp was ablaze in a moment. After the four thousand cavalrymen fought back and forth twice in the camp, they were divided into four teams of one thousand cavalrymen. They patrolled back and forth in the camp. When they found any signs of Zhao army gathering, one team of one thousand cavalrymen rushed to those soldiers without hesitation. After several rounds, there was no team of more than twenty people in the camp of the six thousand Zhao army.

At this time, nearly 20,000 infantrymen had approached the range of one hundred steps around the camp. Just as Tian Yu was about to order the surrender of these Zhao troops, suddenly a team of dozens of Zhao cavalrymen rushed out of the camp and ran straight to the east. Seeing this situation, Tian Yu knew that Hao Meng was trying to break through, but his wishful thinking had been guessed by Tian Yu. The entire Zhao army camp, except for the west side close to Danshui, had one thousand crossbowmen deployed in the other three directions, and another thousand crossbowmen were said to be mobile forces and were left in his hands.

The only thing that made Tian Yu feel sorry was that Hao Meng's direction of breaking through was not the north where he was guarding but the east of Lu Zhong, that's all. He sighed softly and thought to himself, "General Lu is so lucky!" Then Tian Yu ordered his troops to continue slowly approaching the Zhao army camp which was in chaos.
