While resisting the flying arrows, Ba Yeya carefully looked at the density and coverage of such pit traps nearby. It seemed that the closer he got to the Tang Army's camp, the more such traps there were. From this point of view, such a big trap The amount of work cannot be excavated in a short time, at least it cannot be done in one day.
Although he had always suspected that there were spies of the Tang army among the Xi Qi coalition, when this was confirmed, he still felt a little uncomfortable. These grassland nomads have always been extremely united, and they looked down on those who would betray their parents for small profits. The brotherly Han people have always been proud of their unity, but now that a mole has really emerged, he still has to lament the omnipotence of money.
Wait... Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something. Even if there was a spy among the Xi Qi coalition, the night attack on the Tang army camp was just confirmed today. Although Li Huaixiu had similar thoughts before, Wang Zhongsi was still In life, and the Tang army is also quite united. Although Li Huaixiu showed some weakness in the first two battles, there is no doubt about the strength of the Tang army. If it weren't for the cavalry of their Xiqi coalition, they would be much stronger than the Tang army. I'm afraid The outcome of this battle has been determined in the previous two battles.
The giant trees used to cross the river were not originally used to build temporary bridges, but were used to assemble raw materials for building trucks. It was because the war situation here was in a stalemate and the water surface in the upper reaches of the Sanggan River was not very wide, so it was relaxed. Mo Mo gathered these giant trees and carved them. Even he had to admire Li Huaixiu. If it weren't for Li Huaixiu, who would have thought of using those giant trees to cross the river. Without these giant trees, their 200,000 powerful cavalry would not be able to cross the river, and they would not have any advantage against the Tang army.
But now, even if they have crossed the Sanggan River, even if they are indeed stronger than the Tang army, even the Tang army wearing heavy armor is not his elite opponent, but now they have to face countless people who have been waiting for them. trap. What does this mean? This shows that the Tang army knew from the beginning that they would carry out a night attack, but it was not until today that Li Huaixiu told them this plan. It was impossible for others to know. Even Shi Mochigou, the most trusted valet of Li Huaixiu, was with them. I knew it at the same time, because Li Huaixiu was such a cautious person, otherwise he would not have become a generational hero.
He can probably make two guesses now. One is that after receiving the information sent back by the spies, there are many members of the Tang Army who are good at setting traps. Such people have more or less experience as hunters. Such people can arrange The trap is set very quickly. But no matter how fast he was, he looked at the number and density of potholes around him and found that there were too many. Even if there were hundreds of hunters, it would probably be difficult to arrange them in a short time. After all, this plan was planned by Li Huaixiu in the afternoon, close to dinner. It was only made public to the leading generals at that time, so the spies planted by the Tang Army further down would naturally be even less likely to know in advance, not to mention that they would have to spend time sending the information out. Secondly, of course the Tang Army had already foreseen their night attack, and even knew that they would send cavalry across the river for a night attack. All developments were under the control of the Tang Army. Except for the death of Wang Zhongsi, but now the Tang Army has not There was a split in the intelligence, but there was an organized resistance to their night attack. This can only have one explanation, that is, there is a general in the Tang army who can make the border troops in the four towns obey his orders, and This general's strategy is most likely extraordinary.
How did he know that Wang Zhongsi was not dead at all from the beginning, but because of the sad atmosphere created in the Tang Army camp in the past few days, he gave up his doubts at first and thought that Wang Zhongsi had already died. He died in the hands of Tang Sect disciples. As for being able to predict their actions, it was naturally because of Ye Qingcheng. Their entire Xi Qi coalition was following Ye Qingcheng's plan, and not even a step was wrong, except that they planned to use cavalry to cross the river, which was an accident.
And this point was also sent to the Tang Army camp through Baiquan's intelligence obtained after Huan Chenyu's investigation. At that time, Wang Zhongsi and the others were still discussing whether to set up traps even on the main roads. Although it was difficult to dismantle them, by the time Do it slowly after the battle is won. After all, this can cause great damage to the Xi Qi coalition. In addition, the infantry does not move very fast, and these holes will definitely be able to block them for a long time and cause great damage. Who admitted that Bai Quan had sent the news that the Xi Qi coalition planned to rely on giant trees to allow the cavalry to cross the river directly? This shocked the generals of the Tang army. They did not expect that Beiyi, who they considered extremely stupid, could come up with such an idea. Such words Most of the strategies they had formulated before had to be overturned and discussed again. After all, these Beiyi cavalry were really sharp. Even Li Lin, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu who had not dealt with them, knew how powerful they were. Once they really let go When they cross the river, the Tang army will be in danger. Don't lose everything by then.
What followed was a discussion about whether to let the cavalry pass halfway and then defeat them one by one, or whether to destroy the giant trees directly, prevent their cavalry from crossing the river, and force them to fight on foot. Although most of the Tang army generals supported the latter, But Wang Zhongsi preferred the former. After all, the former was formulated by Ye Qingcheng, and he also agreed with Ye Qingcheng's view of total annihilation. If it is the latter, let's not talk about whether the combat effectiveness of the Tang army's infantry will be reduced after crossing the river, but the Xiqi coalition forces on the opposite side can also set up defenses and wait for them to fall into the trap, just like they are now. Now that the coach has made this decision, there is no point in discussing it with other generals. So after receiving the information provided by Huan Chenyu, the craftsmen within the Tang Army and those who are good at this aspect immediately became busy. , and continuously increase the density of the originally arranged traps. After all, the Beiyi cavalry is too fast. If the density is too small, they can easily avoid these traps, and then they can attack the Tang Army camp from other directions. This Not everyone wants to see it, and the main road is covered with caltrops, and horse-proof fences are arranged one after another. No matter how strong the cavalry of the Xiqi coalition is, they will encounter this combination of traps. There will inevitably be a lot of casualties. Even if they can break into the Tang Army's camp, it is nothing to be afraid of.
However, they did not expect that Ba Yemi would directly let the remnant soldiers of the Xi tribe sacrifice their lives to open up the road. The barbarism of these northern barbarians was obviously beyond the imagination of these Tang troops.
