(Thank you hienhan for the reward)
As night fell, the musketeers led by Zhu Youzhi and Wu Wei, the swordsmen and shields led by Qin Huaiyu, the crossbowmen and archers led by Xue Rengui were all in position, and all ambushed in the camp on the south side of Tuyuhun. Start attacking.
Because of the big defeat during the day, Tuyuhun strengthened the patrolling of the sentry posts, but these sentry posts were all concentrated in the front watchtower, and the inside of the camp was still empty and pitch black. Most of the Tuyuhun soldiers had already rested, and those The soldiers on patrol were also listless, and as the time approached midnight, sleepiness swept over their bodies.
Everyone in the forest was waiting quietly without a single sound. In such a quiet night, even the slightest sound would be heard far away. If it is exposed, all plans for tonight will fail.
The forest in the middle of the night was pitch black, only the watches on the hands of the three of them exuded faint fluorescence, watching the rotating hands nervously. When the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand pointed to twelve o'clock, Xue Rengui first gave the order softly, "Light the arrow."
After receiving the order, more than a dozen torches were lit, and the soldiers took out arrows wrapped in oilcloth at the front and lit them one by one on the torches, and the bows and arrows were wound.
"put!"
Following Xue Rengui's order, arrows filled the sky with flaming arrows flew towards Tuyuhun's camp, and those arrows accurately landed on the tents of Tuyuhun. , The fire spread instantly, lighting up the Tuyuhun Camp.
When the soldiers lit their arrows, the Tuyuhun sentry had already spotted them and immediately shouted loudly, but they had no time to stop them. The flame arrow flew from the forest to the Tuyuhun camp in just a few minutes. After a while, Tuyuhun's camp became a sea of flames.
Tuyuhun's camp fell into chaos, at this time Qin Huaiyu stood up. Shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!" What responded to him was the angry shout of the five-thousand-dagger shieldman.
Qin Huaiyu rushed out first with a steel gun in hand, followed by the soldiers, rushing into Tuyuhun's camp like a tiger descending a mountain.
A Tuyuhun soldier woke up from his sleep. In the flames of the sky, he rushed out of the tent before he even had time to put on his clothes. However, the soldier in silver armor came to meet him. Before he could utter any shouts, he felt him His chest felt cold, and then he watched his blood gushing out from his chest, and before dying, the extreme fear made him let out a last cry. "Silver Devil!"
The soldiers with five thousand swords and shields rushed into the camp like tigers entering a flock of sheep. As soon as those Tuyuhun soldiers rushed out of the camp, they died under the swords of the Songzhou defenders, and some were even pierced through the heart in their sleep.
The chaos on the south side quickly spread in the Tuyuhun camp. The whole camp was filled with the breath of death. Murong Fuyun gathered the soldiers under the protection of his personal guards. Everything in front of him was beyond his comprehension. This group of Tang troops From where it came out, he looked at the camp in flames. His body was three points colder than the sword in winter, and a voice told him that the Tuyuhun army was finished this time, and those soldiers in silver armor were like slaughtering cattle and sheep, leaving only cold corpses wherever they went. He had organized several attacks, but the terrified soldiers had no resistance at all and were quickly disintegrated.
Tuyuhun is a nation on horseback who is not good at land warfare, and more importantly, these silver armored soldiers are not only wearing invulnerable armor. It is still a group of six people relying on each other, and each group coordinates attacks with each other, and sometimes disperses. Gathering from time to time, advancing and retreating in a certain way, it is obvious that they have received strict training.
"Khan, go, if you don't go, it will be too late!" There is a deep knife mark on Tianzhu King's face, which is bleeding out at this time. It was scratched by a soldier. The Tuyuhun soldiers helped him resist in time, and his life was probably lost. At this time, in his eyes, Yizhou City was no longer full of golden beauties, but a Shura hell.
Murong Fuyun looked at the burning camp, stomped his feet hard, got on his horse, and fled westward under the guard of dozens of cavalry.
When Qin Huaiyu led the sword and shield fighters to attack, Zhu Youzhi led the musketeers to capture the gate of Tuyuhun's camp according to the plan. Although Zhu Youzhi had seen the power of firearms, he did not expect that such weapons could produce huge damage in war. In terms of destructive power, there were at least three or four thousand Tuyuhun soldiers guarding the gate of the camp, but the Musketeers wiped out all of these Tuyuhun soldiers in a few rounds of shooting, and not even a single Tuyuhun soldier advanced within 30 meters of the Musketeers.
After taking down the gate of the camp, Zhu Youzhi ignited a cylindrical thing as agreed, which was brought by the Musketeers, and it is said to be called fireworks.
"Boom!" The fuse burned to the end, and a loud sound sounded, which startled Zhu Youzhi, and then a bright object rose into the sky, exploding a colorful circular pattern in the sky, which was extremely gorgeous.
The cavalry led by Li Yin and Niu Jinda had assembled outside the Tuyuhun camp. After receiving the signal, Li Yin said, "General Niu, Murong Fuyun will leave it to you."
Niu Jinda said: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
The gate of the camp has been opened, and Li Yin shouted: "Soldiers, it's time to harvest the enemy's head, go!"
The sound of horseshoes was beating like a war drum. Hearing this sound, the Tuyuhun soldiers completely lost their will to fight and fled one after another. Most of them put down their weapons and surrendered to the Songzhou defenders.
When Li Yin and Niu Jinda rushed into the barracks, they encountered almost no resistance along the way, and there were Tuyuhun soldiers kneeling on the ground everywhere.
Leading the cavalry to disintegrate the last resistance force of Tuyuhun, Li Yin and Niu Jinda did not stop but lit torches and chased westward. According to the soldiers captured by Qin Huaiyu, Murong Fuyun and King Tianzhu fled westward.
Rushing out of the Tuyuhun camp, Li Yin and Niu Jinda raced on their horses, and the Tuyuhun soldiers who fled along the way suffered countless casualties from the blades of the iron cavalry. Li Yin sent 500 cavalry to capture the deserters, and he continued to chase west...
At the Tuyuhun camp, Qin Huaiyu began to order soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Because of the surprise attack, most of the Tuyuhun soldiers did not mount their horses, and a large number of war horses were **** in the stables, allowing Li Yin to take advantage of it.
In addition to the war horses, many people in Tuyuhun were also captured. People who did not resist according to Li Min's order were not killed. This time, more than 30,000 people were captured, plus nearly 20,000 soldiers who surrendered and were captured. It was 50,000 Tuyuhun people who became captives, and among them there were tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest.
The operation to clean up the battlefield continued until the next day when the sun was still shining, and Li Yin and Niu Jinda did not return. Zhu Youzhi was a little worried and asked Xue Rengui to take the remaining cavalry to meet him.
"General Qin, we found some people from the Tang Dynasty!" When Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi were discussing how to deal with these prisoners, a soldier reported.
The large camp in Tuyuhun was quite large, and many tents were not lit by bows and arrows, so Qin Huaiyu asked the soldiers to search one by one to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, and a soldier found several tents while searching the tent area where the people of Tuyuhun lived. Young Tang Dynasty woman.
Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu heard that this must be the woman who was looted by Tuyuhun, so Qin Huaiyu said, "Send them to Songzhou City to rest temporarily!"
The soldier was a little hard to speak when he heard the words, he hesitated: "General, none of them are wearing clothes."
"This group of beasts!" Zhu Youzhi cursed.
Qin Huaiyu understood what Zhu Youzhi meant. These women must have become the playthings of the Tuyuhun generals. Thinking of this, he was also furious, "Take off the clothes from the Tuyuhun people and put them on."
"Yes!" The soldier heard the words, and kicked the Tuyuhun soldier squatting on the ground, "Take off your clothes."
Now the Tuyuhun soldiers dared not listen, and took off their clothes obediently. Some soldiers picked up their clothes and walked back. After a while, hundreds of women wearing ill-fitting clothes came out from the tents behind them. The younger ones were thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older ones were thirty or forty years old, but at this time their faces did not show the excitement after being rescued, but their eyes were empty.
"What are you doing, let go!" When Qin Huaiyu was watching the group of robbed women, the last soldier suddenly shouted.
Qin Huaiyu strode over and shouted, "What's going on!"
"General, she wants to commit suicide!" The soldier held the woman's wrist, and the woman was holding a knife in her hand.
Qin Huaiyu snatched the knife from his hand, "Now that Tuyuhun has been defeated, you can go back to Tang Dynasty immediately, and you won't have to suffer anymore. Why bother now?"
There was a lot of movement in the back. A woman at the front of the line heard the movement and suddenly left the line and ran over, hugged the woman who wanted to commit suicide, and cried hoarsely: "Sister, we can go home soon, you You promised me to go home together." The voice was very sad, which made the surrounding soldiers feel sour.
The woman raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her with tears streaming down her face, "Sister, I don't have the face to go back to the family, why don't I just die like this."
After finishing speaking, both of them began to cry so that everyone was helpless.
Zhu Youzhi walked over at this time, patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder, and asked, "What's going on at this time?"
Silence, Qin Huaiyu stood there motionless like a wooden stake, and did not answer Zhu Youzhi.
Zhu Youzhi felt that something was wrong. He walked up to Qin Huaiyu and found that the boy was staring straight at the older of the two women without blinking. (To be continued..)
