Chapter 136 Sneak attack changed to force attack

The Tuyuhun people indeed had the same idea as before. They believed that the Tang army had come all the way and would definitely be unaccustomed to the climate when they arrived here. Every extra day they stayed would cost the Tang court tens of thousands of dollars. As long as we If you delay it long enough, sooner or later you will be able to drag Datang into the abyss. Who will win then depends on God's will. Even if Datang's overall national strength is strong, you may still have to challenge Tuyuhun.

Different from the tense atmosphere in the city, the Tuyuhun people on the grassland still live their lives how they want, but they no longer send caravans to Liangzhou City. After all, the two countries are in a semi-war state. If you still drive the cavalry to do business, If the Tang Dynasty military confiscated it, they would have to shed tears.

Although not being able to do business will reduce their income, because of the rich income from trade in the past, even if they do not do business for a few months, the inventory in their hands is enough, so whenever night falls, each tribe also Everyone fell into a sea of ​​songs. Everyone was still the same as before, and the evening was dedicated to having fun.

Although the tribes also received orders from Tuyuhun Khan to pay more attention to the movements of the Tang army, all the Tang troops were in Liangzhou City. Isn't it nonsense to pay attention to their movements on the grassland? So these people still play whatever they want. They just send some elite warriors to the military camp. As for the others, they don't even care, as if this war has nothing to do with them.

Li Xiang looked at the tribe he was about to attack. If he hadn't confirmed it twice, he would have felt that he might have come to the wrong place. Looking over the hillside, there were scattered cattle and sheep everywhere in the distance, except for a few on the outermost edge. Looking outside, I can't see any herding people at all.

Looking at the middle part, several bonfire groups were surrounded, and the people inside were singing and dancing. It looked like they were having a very lively life, but you didn't expect that Liangzhou City of the Tang Army was a hundred miles away, with tens of thousands of people living there. The army has been assembled, aren't you afraid at all?

"They were like this during the war before?"

Li Xiang called old man Zhao from the original military camp. This guy might not be useful in fighting, but he would be fine as a guide. After all, he had been fighting on the grassland for many years.

"Returning to Your Highness, although Tuyuhun and we have been uneasy, they are not facing us directly. When our army leaves Liangzhou City, these people will retreat quickly and distance themselves from us. , when we retreated, they regained the lost ground again. Because they were more mobile, they were playing hide-and-seek with us on the grassland. We didn’t grow up on horseback, so we couldn’t catch them at all. Plus, There is their detailed work in the city of Shangliangzhou, and they will be discovered as soon as the army moves."

Old Man Zhao is very clear about the situation of these people. It’s not that they are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty’s army, but they think that everything is under control. Although the Tang Dynasty’s army has come from the north, as long as they do not leave the city , shouldn’t we just live how we want to live on the grassland? Could it be that because the Tang army came from the north, we will not be able to survive?

After hearing this, Li Xiang also smiled bitterly. Compared with the farming people, the nomads indeed have many advantages. Our production and life have almost stagnated. The people in the border areas have paid too much for this war, but these nomads The nation is still living a happy life. If things continue like this, their potential will be much greater than ours.

"Your Highness is ready."

Huo Qubing came up from behind. There were more than 3,600 people in the three battalions, and they had all arrived at their designated positions.

"Very good, strong attack."

Li Xiang nodded and said. When he said these words, the old man Zhao next to him was dumbfounded. According to the battle plan we made before, shouldn't we have a sneak attack? Why did it become a force attack? You must know that a force attack and a sneak attack are two different things on this grassland. He is the king of the grassland, but we are all outsiders. It is not easy for a sneak attack to succeed, let alone a force attack.

Huo Qubing ignored Old Zhao's surprised expression and turned around to command the army. In his eyes, he only saw Li Xiang's orders, and the performance of others was not considered. This was the characteristic of system soldiers.

"Your Highness, would you like to think about it again?"

Old man Zhao said with some reluctance. It is normal for young people to be angry, but they cannot joke about military affairs. There are more than 1,800 people in the tribe in front of them. Even if some old, weak, sick and disabled people are subtracted, they can conquer those who are good at fighting. There are still a thousand soldiers, not to mention that we still have the mission of two tribes. If we suffer heavy losses here, how should the two tribes fight?

"Look at how drunk they are? If I can't even get this, I will go back to the capital directly. That means I am not suitable to make contributions on the battlefield."

Li Xiang pointed to the camp in the distance and said. It can be seen from the campfire that many people are already unsteady. Facing such a team, Li Xiang of course has to fight quickly. How can he have the kung fu arrangements? sneak attack.

"Brothers! Kill them."

Huo Qubing got on his horse, and the more than 1,200 black riders behind him all drew out their steel knives, and then rushed out like sharp swords from a string.

Behind them is Ma Chao's Pu Dao camp. They will perform the second round of sweeping missions. The archers are at the end. They only need to rush eighty steps outside the camp and release arrows at the camp. They don't need to rush in.

Li Guang is the commander-in-chief of the bow and arrow camp. He looked at the bow and arrow in his hand strangely. It looked the same as the ones used before, but there was gunpowder tied behind the arrow. This thing had never been seen before. It was issued by His Highness. , it is said that it is so powerful that they do not need any training. They can shoot arrows how they used to do before, but this thing cannot touch fire.

"We have been discovered, Your Highness..."

Old man Zhao heard the sound of the horn, which was the warning sound of the Tuyuhun army. If he had known that he would be discovered so soon, he should have made a sneak attack. It would have been better to have slowly moved over. We are still far away from their camp. It's only a few hundred meters away. If we let them establish a defense line, we will have a fierce battle tonight. Although the number of people in Tuyuhun is not large, the combat rate is not low.

"Haha, they have no chance..."

Li Xiang sneered and said, Li Guang's men have already begun to draw bows and arrows...
