Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2060 Raid Camp at Night
In today's battle, although the Turks lost more than 1000 soldiers who were slightly injured, their combat effectiveness was not weak at all.

Tang Jun suffered heavy casualties this time, with about [-] people.

This number is already terrifying, and without these two thousand people, the defense of the entire Liangzhou City can be said to have become much weaker.

Tomorrow, if the Turkic soldiers and horses attack frantically, it is really possible to capture Liangzhou City.

But now that they have few soldiers and horses, they can't do it if they want to encircle Wei and save Zhao, or attack the Turks' rear.

They can only defend to the death in Liangzhou City.

Night is coming, there are stars tonight, but even though there are stars, the night here is not very bright.

After Qin Tian returned to the barracks, he summoned a group of generals.

"Qin Wu, how are you training those black people?"

"My lord, those black people have been trained now, they are very obedient, and even willing to serve my lord."

These black people used to live almost the life of slaves, and they were no different from livestock. Now that they came here, Qin Wu and the others took them to see them, and they gave them food and gave them the opportunity to make contributions. It's strange to be obedient.

So, now these black people are very obedient.

"Okay, as long as the training is done, they will be needed tomorrow night."

Hearing this, Qin Wu was stunned for a moment. He thought Qin Tian would use it tonight, but he didn't ask any further questions, because his brother Qin obviously had already made arrangements.

"Now there are only more than 4000 soldiers capable of fighting in Liangzhou City. This number is not a lot. If the Turks attack the city again tomorrow, we may not be able to resist. So tonight, this king is going to set fire to the enemy camp."

When they heard that the enemy camp was on fire, everyone immediately understood what was going on. Their hot air balloons in Tang Dynasty were very powerful. Li Shimin didn't give gunpowder, but they could have such things as hot air balloons.

If they use hot air balloons to burn the enemy camp, they will definitely be able to buy more time for their defense.

Qin Tian only needs to say this. As for what to do next, everyone has experience, so Qin Tian doesn't need to say it.

After giving this order, Luo Huang hurried down to make preparations.

The night was getting darker and darker, and when midnight approached, Tang Jun's hot air balloon finally started to take off, rushing to the Turkic military camp.

After they came to the Turkic army camp, they only had a little identification of the direction, and then quickly understood the situation of the Turkic army camp. Immediately afterwards, they shot the rockets down.

The rockets flew over, and soon, the entire Turkic barracks became a sea of ​​flames.

The sea of ​​fire spread and raged, and the fire burned blazingly.

The grain and grass in the Turkic military camp also caught fire quickly.

In the barracks, they arranged for some soldiers to patrol, but the hot air balloon was in the night sky, so it was difficult for the people below to find it. Even if they were discovered by the people below, they would not have any doubts.

Even if they had doubts, there was nothing they could do with the hot air balloon above.

The fire started like this, and some rockets directly hit the tents where the soldiers slept, and when the tents were ignited, the quilts, clothes and so on of the soldiers were also caught.

Many of those soldiers were directly buried in the sea of ​​flames.

"It's not good, it's not good, the Tang army attacked the camp, the Tang army attacked the camp..."

A group of people ran out in a hurry, but they were so panicked that when they ran out, there were stampede incidents from time to time. Many soldiers were trampled to death before they could figure out what was going on.

The fire burned the barn of the Turkic army camp. The horses were frightened from inside and ran out crazily. When the horses ran out, they ran towards some Turkic soldiers. Now many soldiers died under their horseshoes.

Ashina Helu woke up from his sleep, and when he got up, he was a little dazed.

"What happened, what happened?"

Soon, a guard rushed in: "Your Majesty Khan, something is wrong, the Tang army attacked the camp."

Hearing that the Tang army attacked the camp, Ashina Helu was a little shocked and also a little surprised. He had never thought that the Tang army would attack the camp.

He felt that there were only a few soldiers and horses left in the Tang army, and they could only hide in the city, so how dare they leave the city?

Unexpectedly, Tang Jun attacked the camp.

He rushed out, but where he looked, he didn't see the soldiers of the Tang army. All he saw were his Turkic soldiers and horses, running away in a panic.

A rocket hit his tent suddenly, and immediately his tent caught fire. At this time, Ashina Helu discovered the situation in the sky.

He looked up and saw some bright spots in the sky, and in the direction of these bright spots, favorable arrows struck from time to time.

He suddenly thought of Datang's hot air balloon. He had heard about Datang's weapon, which could lift people into the air, and it was invented by Qin Tian.

After thinking of this, he couldn't help patting his thigh, how could he forget this.

Their barracks were relatively concentrated, and after the fire spread, it had a great impact on them.

"Command, let everyone disperse, disperse..."

The main function of the rocket is to ignite the barracks. If the soldiers are dispersed, the damage caused by the fire will be much reduced.

Ashina Helu shouted so loudly that the soldiers began to disperse.

When they got away from the fire in the barracks, all the soldiers slowly regained their composure, knowing what happened tonight, the Tang army indeed attacked the camp, but the Tang army did not show up.

When they learned that Tang Jun was not there, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they finally started to put out the fire.

But at this time, the fire had completely spread, and it would take a lot of time to extinguish the fire. At this time, more than [-] Turkic soldiers were killed or injured.

And this kind of situation never happened when they attacked the city.

When they came, there were more than 3 of them, but after tonight, there were only more than [-] of them left.

This number is not small, and it is not impossible to capture Liangzhou City, but to pay such a high price to capture Liangzhou City, to be honest, it is a bit beyond their expectations.

But now that so many people have died, it is obviously impossible for them to retreat like this. So many people have died, and Liangzhou City has not been captured. Among them, who is willing?

They are not reconciled, so they can't retreat, they can only move on.

Once the war starts, many things are involuntary.

No one can do anything about this kind of thing, neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Turks.
