As the night grew darker, Yang Ji, Xue Ju, Li Daliang, and Shi Huaiyi led a thousand former army soldiers, five hundred scouts, and a hundred royal soldiers into the Sanchakou where the Turkic camp was located. The two of them stopped in a large weathered "cave" "Discuss within.
Although Yang Ji had a sure way, he hoped to brainstorm and make the attack on the enemy camp foolproof, so as to prevent the strong "leadership thinking" from interfering with the "less confident" new subordinates and dampening their enthusiasm, so He has yet to reveal his plans.
"Your Highness, General Li." Shi Huaiyi had personally explored the terrain of Sanchakou and was naturally more familiar with it than Li Daliang. He took the lead and said: "The enemy camp is about one mile away from Sanchakou. If we surround it in a concave formation, all the enemy troops will escape. No. My plan is to surround the camp first, use strong crossbows to ambush, and then use fire attacks to scare away the enemy. To prevent the enemy from escaping on horseback, we can set up more horse ropes and let General Li lead 300 soldiers. Close surveillance will be carried out in the north and east to ensure nothing goes wrong."
When Li Daliang saw that Yang Ji had no intention of speaking, he asked, "How can we go down and set fire if the mountain is caved in?"
"My idea is to send people to sneak into the military camp and set fire from the inside." Shi Huaiyi said.
Xue Ju said: "Then just burn the horses and let the fire horses charge into the camp."
"This is a good idea." Shi Huaiyi praised and asked Yang Ji, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Fire attack and fire horse charging camp are both correct." Yang Ji commented: "But our premise is not to alert the enemy. If there is a big fire, the sky will turn red and it may be visible dozens of miles away. If someone is there, After we left, we came to check and reported to Bujia Khan in time. Our time difference was shortened. This is one; second, animals are afraid of fire. If the fire horse charges with all its strength, the horse rope may not be able to stop thousands of horses. Horses, once these horses are discovered by herdsmen, they will come over to see them."
Without waiting for questions from Shi Huaiyi and Li Daliang, who were looking at each other, Yang Ji revealed his plan: "My idea is similar to yours. The difference is to send a team of people with crossbows to lurk between the campsite and the horse pen, and when the light of the fire At the same time, the first thought of the Turks was probably to find horses to escape. They happened to be ambushed by our army. The soldiers outside were also rushing in at the same time, so that no horses would get lost. Moreover, there was no hay in the camp, even if there were fireworks. Not big; if we time the attack before dawn, the sky and fog can be well concealed by the not-so-large fireworks. At this time, the line of sight is better, and even if there are enemies escaping, they will be covered up by the soldiers cruising around the periphery. I found out how far they could escape without war horses?"
Xue Ju, Shi Huaiyi, and Li Daliang suddenly understood. Shi Huaiyi cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I will finally know how to arrange it."
The four people then discussed based on this plan, discussing all the details one by one.
It was already past the ugly time, so the soldiers left their horses here, guarded by Yang Ji and a hundred guards. Li Daliang led three hundred fine horses to cruise at the northern and eastern entrances of Sanchakou, while Xue Ju, who was highly skilled in martial arts, He was responsible for the main attack, while Shi Huaiyi was responsible for setting fire and intercepting the Turks who were robbing horses.
Shi Huaiyi personally led two hundred soldiers to sneak into the Turkic camp, which was lighter than the defense. He soaked the tents with kerosene in their skins, and then retreated between the camp and the horse pen, preparing to wait and see.
The soldiers were busy working carefully, and as time passed, a scout pointed to a bright sky and said, "General, it's almost done."
This was also the appointed time. Shi Huaiyi immediately ordered: "Set off the rocket."
The soldiers immediately used fire sickles to ignite the prepared hay, then ignited the rockets and fired towards the camp.
In an instant, countless light spots appeared in the dark night sky. These light spots were like meteors and fire showers, throwing themselves at the Turkic camp in a very beautiful arc. Some rockets landed on the tents, and the flames instantly engulfed each tent.
In order to keep warm and moisture-proof, the Turks' tents were soaked in leather oil. The only drawback was that they were not fireproof. The fire pits in the camp were usually kept more than ten feet away from the tents because they did not expect that the Sui army would sneak attack here, and even the lighting was not required. The brazier is not lit. Rockets fell from the sky at this time, and the tent, which was already flammable and had been doused with kerosene, burst into flames.
"Buzz buzz!" Another rain of arrows fell deeper into the camp. In an instant, the camp was illuminated by flames soaring into the sky. Many Turkic soldiers were still in their sleep when they were swallowed up by the fire falling from the sky. Many Turkic soldiers were still in their sleep. People struggled to rush out of the tent, their whole bodies engulfed in flames, and they let out heart-piercing screams. They kept rolling on the ground, but like fire, they ignited more tents.
As the camp was on fire, there was a cry of killing from the south of the camp, and Xue Ju led 600 soldiers into the camp.
A centurion who woke up from his sleep saw this, roared and swung his sword to kill Xue Ju. Xue Ju had quick eyes and quick hands. Before the opponent's sword could fall, he rushed forward and chopped off his head with a knife, and kicked the corpse. Kicked out.
Three Sui soldiers formed a formation. The two in front were holding horizontal knives to kill, while the man behind was holding a spear to defend. If his colleagues in front had no time to defend against the enemy, he would stab them with a spear.
These soldiers were all well-trained and accomplished East Palace Iron Guards. They cooperated tacitly and continuously slaughtered the Turkic soldiers who ran out of the tents.
"Go and get the horses, hurry up." As time went on, the Turkic commander had gathered more than two hundred soldiers. He saw flames raging all around, and there were groups of enemy soldiers wearing black armor everywhere. They were all black shadows, like devils who were born only to kill. The amazing fighting power of those devils made him completely frightened. If he didn't run away, I'm afraid everyone would die here.
However, when they arrived at the horse pen, they heard a sudden sound of bow strings rebounding in the darkness, and a dense burst of crossbow arrows came towards them. Suddenly there were screams, and the Turks who had fallen from hope to despair fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The captain who rushed in front bore the brunt. He and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows let out shrill cries, which frightened the soldiers behind and turned back. run.
But at this time, Xue Ju had already led a group of soldiers to chase him from the camp. Although the Turkic soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and their abilities were doubled in order to survive, what they encountered was the best of the best, the East Palace Guards. All of them were wearing armor, wielding sharp swords and spears, and there was also a brave Xue Ju as their main general. In just a few moments, all these Turkic soldiers were killed on the ground.
Although some soldiers tried their best to escape, they were tripped by horse ropes and fell to the ground. Before they could get up, sharp spears pierced their vests and nailed them to the ground.
As the sky brightened, a thousand Turkic soldiers guarding Sanchakou were all annihilated by the Sui army. No one escaped to Li Daliang's ambush alive.
This total annihilation battle suddenly opened the way for the Sui army to enter the Great Lakes area, and also bought more time for the Sui army's raid into the Great Lakes area.
