Chapter 327 Lan Yu Is Furious, Wusun Is Destroyed
It was late at night.
There were still piles of bonfires burning in the camp of the Tang army, and the soldiers on duty marched through them in a line, while more soldiers leaned against each other and fell asleep.
In the night, the Turkic cavalry who raided the Tang army camp had already wrapped the four hooves of their war horses with cotton cloth. When they were less than three miles away from the Tang army camp, they suddenly urged the war horses under their crotch to speed up and headed straight for the Tang army camp.
Pound, pound, pound, pound!
Although the hooves of the Turkic cavalry had been wrapped in cotton cloth.
However, the sound of thousands of war horses accelerating at the same time in the silent night still attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty inside and outside the Tang army camp.
With the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and the ground trembling slightly under the horses' hooves, the Tang army soldiers on duty immediately reacted and shouted: "Enemy attack--"
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers on duty sounded the horn crisply.
The shrill horn sounded particularly harsh in the silent night. The Tang soldiers who were originally leaning against each other and taking a nap by the bonfire were awakened by the shouts of the enemy and the shrill horn sound.
The 200,000 troops stationed in Anxi, whether infantry or Guanning Iron Cavalry, were all super elite soldiers summoned by Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian from the [Born to be an Emperor] system. Their combat qualities and fighting will were far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, even if these 50,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry encountered a night attack by the enemy, they did not lose their composure.
Instead, they coordinated with each other in an orderly manner to put on armor, mount horses, and line up to meet the enemy amid the "prepare for battle" calls from the hundred and thousand households in the army.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In less than half an incense stick of time, the Turkic cavalry, sprinting at full speed, rushed towards the camp of the Tang army from all directions, and fired the "rocket" they had prepared in their hands into the camp of the Tang army at a distance of one or two hundred steps.
This well-prepared Turkic cavalry had already observed the layout of the Tang army camp on Bawa Peak, and their goal was surprisingly consistent, that is, to burn the food and supplies of the Tang army and create chaos.
With the attack of thousands of rockets, many of the Tang army's tents were immediately set on fire.
It was not until this time that the Tang army cavalry on duty rode their war horses, waving their long spears and swords and rushed out of the camp, and fought fiercely with the attacking "Wusun cavalry" under the light of the fire at the foot of Bawa Peak in the night.
"Cavalry, it is the cavalry of Wusun——"
Suddenly, among the fighting crowd, a cavalry soldier of the Tang army shouted loudly, reporting the identity of the enemy who attacked the camp at night to the camp.
Then, more and more Tang Guanning Iron Cavalry soldiers, fully armed and mounted on war horses, rushed out of the camp and fought fiercely with the Wusun cavalry that attacked the camp.
In the central army tent.
Anxi Marquis Lan Yu, who had just squinted for a while, was awakened from his dream when the "Wusun" cavalry that attacked the camp at night fired the first round of rockets.
He rolled over from the bed, not even bothering to put on his armor, and rushed out of the central army tent with a ring-headed sword in his hand. His handsome face became visibly ferocious and murderous.
It has always been only him, Lan Yu, who attacked other people's camps at night. This time, there were blind guys who dared to attack the Tang army camp at night. He must beat these guys who are looking for death into a green shit!
"General, the camp is attacked by the cavalry of Wusun!"
Lan Yu just rushed out of the tent and bumped into the deputy general Tan Li who rushed over in a hurry. The latter was not wearing armor, and his white plain clothes had already been stained with the blood of the enemy.
It was obvious that the deputy general Tan Li, who was farther outside the tent, rushed out with a ring-handled sword as soon as the enemy attacked the camp, and killed several enemies with his own hands. After figuring out the identity and intention of the enemy, he hurried to the central army tent to report.
Tan Li panted and said, "General, this group of bastards was planning to attack our grain and grass warehouse at night. Fortunately, they were discovered by the soldiers on duty, so the Wusun cavalry failed;"
"But, but, a small part of the grain and grass was burned. I have ordered the soldiers to put out the fire;"
"The front army has also mounted their horses and rushed out of the camp to meet the enemy. It should not be a problem to wipe out this group of Wusun cavalry who came to attack our camp at night!"
"Son of a bitch, ah bah——"
Hearing this, Lan Yu cursed and said angrily, "The bastard Tibes sent envoys to disrupt my judgment and let me relax my vigilance;"
"On the other hand, he actually sent He sent cavalry to attack our camp at night, intending to burn our food and grass, so that our army would retreat without fighting. He made a good plan! "
Lan Yu roared angrily: "Deputy General Tan, pass the order down, the army will set out at dawn and head straight for the Wusun King City!"
"By the way, tie up the Wusun envoy named Subati for me. I will drag him to Chigu City (Wusun King City) with a warhorse to challenge him!"
"I have received the order!"
In the second half of the night, the vanguard of the Tang army finally captured all the "Wusun" cavalry that came to attack the camp. The bodies of the Wusun cavalry were also dragged to the center of the Tang camp. The bonfire in the camp burned more vigorously, illuminating the entire camp.
The Wusun envoy Subati had been tied up by the Tang soldiers in the camp at this time, and was taken to the center of the camp to wait for his fate.
Looking at the corpses of the "Wusun" cavalry in the camp, Subati's face turned black, and he felt hopeless.
Although he had doubts about the identity of this Wusun cavalry of unknown origin;
However, he also knew that after the attack on the camp, for the Wusun Kingdom, it was like yellow mud falling off the crotch - it was shit if not shit!
At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness and fear also surged into Subati's heart at this moment.
He knew that there was an invisible hand behind the scenes, pushing the Wusun Kingdom to the brink of being destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.
What was even more terrifying was that he and King Tibis had no idea who was framing the Wusun Kingdom behind the scenes!
Compared to Subati's despair, Bas, the envoy of Xiaowan Kingdom, seemed extremely excited when he saw the corpses of the Wusun cavalry.
Especially when he saw Lan Yu, the Anxi Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, wearing Mingguang armor and a ring-handled sword on his waist, he rushed directly to Lan Yu, knelt down with a plop, and complained in tears: "I hope the general will take charge of our Xiaowan Kingdom-"
"These Wusun cavalrymen who dared to attack the Tang army camp at night were the murderers who slaughtered our king and royal family members in the palace of Xiaowan Kingdom some time ago;"
"I will never forget the faces of these executioners, the armor they wore and the weapons they used in my life, even if they are burned to ashes, I will remember them!"
Yes!
Lan Yu nodded and signaled his men to help Bas, the special envoy of Xiaowan Kingdom, up and take him away.
He took firm steps and walked to the Wusun envoy Subati, saying expressionlessly: "Subati, now that things have come to this, there are witnesses and evidence, what else do you want to quibble about?"
Subati, kneeling on the ground, shrugged his head, and looked at the furious General Lan Yu with a pair of dead fish eyes, and replied with a wry smile: "General, if I say that the identities of these people who attacked the camp wearing Wusun cavalry equipment and using Wusun cavalry weapons are questionable, will you believe it?"
Humph!
Lan Yu sneered and asked, "Subati, do you think this general will believe it?"
Subati shook his head helplessly and said, "General, things have come to this point. What I say is useless. But what I want to tell you is that you must not act impulsively when you are angry. You must think twice before you act!"
"You must not be used by people with ulterior motives to do something that will make your relatives sad and your enemies happy!"
"Shut up--"
Lan Yu raised his foot and kicked Subati over with one foot, grinning and said, "Do I need you to teach me how to act?"
"Stare at me. After this general leads the army to break through Chigu City and capture Tibis alive, I will let you, the king and his ministers, confront each other and see who is lying!"
After that, Lan Yu waved his hand and said sternly, "Come here--"
"I am here!"
"Pass the order down. After dawn, the army will set out and head straight for Chigu City, the capital of the Wusun Kingdom!"
"I have received the order!"
