Late at night, when everyone is lying in bed or bunk beds and dreaming peacefully, the Tang Army Camp was almost completely dark with no lights except for the main roads. Occasionally, you can see the movement of human figures, which should be the sentries on duty. In contrast, the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp on the other side is also dark. No one would have thought that this was originally a sleeping time, but it became two people. The time period when the army goes to war.
But in fact, a dark group of people had already gathered near the dock of the Xi-Qi coalition, and they were all fully armed cavalry. They were all lightly dressed and did not carry any heavy weapons or armor, and the horses' mouths were also covered with cloth. , making them unable to make a sound.
This seems to be the vanguard of the Xi Qi coalition, and they should all be warriors of the Xi tribe. The rest of the troops are arranged slightly further back, and they are all cavalry. It seems that Li Huaixiu's strategy has not changed, and he is charging in sequence according to the order of the array. If there is no problem with the first array, the second array will quickly press on. If it encounters stubborn resistance, the second array's strategy will be Corresponding changes will occur. From this point, we can see that Li Huaixiu is indeed a general. At least among the previous Khitan or Xi tribe chiefs, no one has been able to do this. Even if he has generals, he may not be able to convince everyone. Li Huaixiu He is actually the number one among the Northern Yi, if you don't count the Turks.
On the dock on Tang Jun's side, a light spot suddenly emitted in the darkness and flashed three times quickly.
This information was quickly transmitted to the commander's tent in the rear of the Xiqi Allied Forces, which had already formed an army. It was said to be the commander's tent, but it was actually the main tent where Li Huaixiu lived before. However, it was changed because it was wartime. Just a title.
Li Huaixiu and his generals are all gathered in the camp at this moment, waiting for information from the front line and giving them command. The generals who are really on the front line are actually from the Xi tribe, and Li Huaixiu doesn't care about their life or death at all. After Li Yanchong's death, he seemed to have regarded the Xi clan as his own, just like the surrounding small tribes that were dependent on him. However, because he came from the same clan, he would be better towards the Xi clan and not like him. It’s just the same oppression as other tribes.
As for the Xi tribe's army, although they knew that Li Yanchong was killed by Li Huaixiu and hated him deeply, no one took the lead in rebelling against him. After all, those guys who were most loyal to Li Yanchong were all killed by Tangmen disciples. On the spot, although the other Xi warriors wanted to avenge him, no one dared to have such thoughts when they thought of the Tang disciples standing behind Li Huaixiu. And they all have to take a long-term view. Since Li Yanchong is dead, the Xi tribe may not be able to elect a suitable chief for the time being, or even if they are elected, the Xi tribe will have been annexed by the Khitan by then. They must have a broad perspective in life. In the long run, Li Huaixiu may annex them after this battle, and then he will be their master. Nothing can offend him now.
These Xi people did not know that not only did the real Li Yanchong not die, but he was closely protected in the Tang Army camp. When he comes back in the future, these people who obey Li Huaixiu will be ruthlessly purged by him. Since these guys can hand over nearly 100,000 troops to Li Huaixiu after his "death", then if something happens to him in the future, won't all his heirs have to be killed by these wallflowers? He will not leave these disasters in the clan.
The camera turned back. Although he had received a secret signal from the spies lurking in the Tang Army's camp, with Li Huaixiu's level of caution, he could not attack with the whole army just after receiving a secret signal. He had to be careful, for the sake of the future Victory can be endured for a while.
"Let those guys with good water skills go to the pier on the other side to check out the situation and complete the identity confirmation of the opponent. Once confirmed, let the bridge team quickly enter the water. The first group of Xi cavalry rushed into the Tang Army. Camp." Li Huaixiu gave the order calmly.
After receiving his order, ten Khitan soldiers with excellent water skills immediately jumped into the Sanggan River. The reason why Xi soldiers were not used was because Li Huaixiu naturally believed in his own people in such a critical matter, and He was not from the Xi tribe. He would only feel relieved if his own tribe took care of the matter, not to mention that this was a major matter related to the success of the night attack and he had to leave it to his fellow tribesmen.
These ten Khitan soldiers were also carefully selected from the 200,000-strong army. They all had excellent water skills. Whether they jumped into the Sanggan River or swam to the other side by diving, they did not make too much noise from beginning to end. attracted Tang Jun's attention.
The distance between the two docks is not long. Although only human figures can be seen vaguely in the night, the Xiqi Alliance has arranged many soldiers with good eyesight to stand at the front. They can roughly see clearly. The movements between the ten people and the connector lurking on the other side were used to determine whether there was an ambush.
After these guys got ashore, they immediately found several spies who had been lurking on the other side. They had been waiting by the river for a long time. They were very aware of the people coming on the other side, so they hurried to meet them as soon as they got ashore. .
It's just that these Khitan soldiers couldn't have imagined that the spies who came to contact them were actually Tang troops pretending to be soldiers. In fact, Wang Zhongsi had already wiped out all their spies lurking within the Tang Army. At first, he only captured one of them, and after being severely punished, the others were quickly confessed. After that, according to Ye Qingcheng's general plan, Wang Zhongsi arranged for people to continue to use these spies' intelligence channels to pass false news all the way to the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp. This made Li Huaixiu emboldened to attack the Tang Army Camp. .
These people are naturally the soldiers of Wang Zhongsi who followed Ye Qingcheng into the Xi Qi coalition camp before. The new transformation charms Ye Qingcheng put on them in the morning have hardly been used yet, so they are just suitable for use here. In addition, they are good at Khitan, so they will not arouse suspicion, otherwise Ah Er would not have chosen them before.
Moreover, they were all wearing Tang army uniforms and armor, which would not make these guys suspicious. It would be suspicious if they were also wearing Khitan leather armor or casual clothes.
They all learned the secret code and method of the connection from the captured spies, so they quickly completed the handover with the ten Khitan soldiers who had dived from the other side. Seeing that there was no doubt about their identity, the ten people were relieved. They looked around again and saw that all the soldiers of the Tang Army who were originally in charge of sentry had been lying down. It seemed that they had been killed by these spies. This made it even more difficult. Nothing to worry about anymore.
