Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 868
In Dali City, the backyard of the former county government.

The sun sets in the west mountain, and the evening wind blows, gradually taking away the heat left in Taiyuan during the day.

Chai Shao and others, who took off their iron helmets and put on silk armor dresses, sat under the tree in the backyard of the county office, enjoying the evening breeze, eating barbecue, and cold wine. It was the most comfortable time on a difficult march in months.

"Unexpectedly, this Turkic person is not bad, and he can entertain me so generously."

Sun Hua said, "My Tang Dynasty and the Turks are now allies. This time we will lead [-] troops to the north. It is a relationship of mutual prosperity. Of course, we must treat them well."

"Come on, have a drink. This wine is really good. Damn it, I haven't had a drop of wine in almost a month since I left Jiuyuan. Once this wine enters my throat, I feel like I'm alive again."

"Hahaha!"

"Good meat and good wine, but it's a pity that there are no singing girls and dancing girls, otherwise it would be more refreshing."

Chai Shao didn't follow them as wildly. He maintained his image of aristocrat very upright, and gently cut the roast lamb with a knife in his hand. The perfectly roasted lamb was golden in appearance and exuded an incomparably charming fragrance.

Cut a thin slice and put it in your mouth. The feeling really makes you want to let out a long sigh.

Compared with those guys who think about women whenever they have wine and meat, Chai Shao is enjoying the barbecue while thinking about his next move.

Now that Jieli has defeated the Qin army in Dingxiang and marched into the customs, the next step is to break through the clouds and then go down to Taiyuan.Even Luo Siye and Simo couldn't keep Dingxiang, and Liu Hongji couldn't even keep Yunzhong.

Maybe Liu Hongji was already gone before he reached Yunzhong.

Hedong, Taiyuan.

If Taiyuan goes down again, I am afraid that Luo Cheng will not be able to stop the coalition forces anymore, but if they capture Taiyuan and Fanyang, Tang Jun must insist on getting Hedong.

"Why hasn't your general come yet?"

Chai Shao waved to a Turkic soldier in front of the back yamen, and then asked.

But the Turkic soldier just shook his head.

Shi Danai asked him in Turkic dialect, but this time the Turkic soldier answered, but he only said that the general was still busy arranging for the Tang army to prepare food and supplies, and that he would come over when he was done.

Another round of drinking.

The last light in the sky finally faded away, and night fell.

Whether it was Chai Shao and other officers in the city, or those Tang soldiers in the ten-mile company of the Tang Army outside the city, they were basically full and even drunk.

The moon rose quietly.

The gate of Dali City, which had been open all the time, was quietly closed.

On the upper floor of the city gate, several large lanterns were hung, and the red lanterns were hung high, very conspicuous.

On the top of the mountain five miles south of Dali City, a group of soldiers from the Qin Army kept staring in the direction of Dali. When they saw the two strings of eye-catching red lanterns hanging high, they immediately hung up two strings of red lanterns as well.

Red lanterns were lit one by one on the hillside, and the lights passed down the hill.

The valley at the foot of the mountain.

The two generals Yin Kaishan and Hou Junji commanded 3 cavalry here at this time, and they had already recharged their batteries for a long time.

"The red lanterns are up!"

Yin Kaishan said excitedly, "It's time to attack!"

Hou Junji jumped on the horse, waved the lance, "Attack!"

All [-] paces are mounted on horses.

Under the cover of night, they headed towards the Tang army camp a few miles to the north.

After the soldiers and horses left the valley, they immediately divided into three groups.

Hou Junji personally led [-] infantry on horseback in the middle, while the left and right flanks each had [-] cavalry.

When Hou Junji's [-] infantry rode horses and rushed a few hundred steps outside the Tang camp, the soldiers on duty of the Tang army discovered them and raised the alarm loudly.

At this time, Hou Junji did not panic at all.

He straddled his horse and began to direct the infantry to stop.

Instead of rushing to the camp on horseback, the soldiers stopped their horses and dismounted.

They handed over the horses to the soldiers watching the horses, and then quickly assembled into formations.

One army after another is rapidly gathering.

In the dark of night, they are methodical.

A few hundred steps away, the Tang army camp was shouting in panic and making a lot of noise.

"Enter!"

Liu Hongji shouted loudly.

A team leader, each standing at the front of the team, behind them stood the team flag bearer, holding the team flag high, followed closely behind.

The head of the team leads the team forward and marches forward neatly.

No one charged indiscriminately with bravery. Qin Jun emphasized the strength of the whole, not individual bravery. If he charged indiscriminately, he would be beheaded.

The infantry of the Xuanwu Army of the Qin Army in iron armor came on horseback, with sufficient physical strength. The shield warriors were in the front row, followed by the spearmen in the back, and the crossbowmen were behind them, and the shield soldiers were jumping swords on both sides.

Facing the Tang Army Company Battalion, which has neither barracks nor trenches.

The Xuanwu Army infantry looked indifferent.

When they approached the Tang camp, there was barely a team of Tang troops assembled in twos and threes in the camp.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Qin army shouted, and then fired a volley at the Tang army first.

The teams of twos and threes that had just assembled fell down immediately, and became thinner all of a sudden.

Qin Jun continued to move forward, and the two teams finally approached. Qin Jun thrust out spears one after another, interspersed with bows and arrows from behind.

"prick!"

"receive!"

"prick!"

"receive!"

The team leader just ordered repeatedly. Following his orders, the Xuanwu infantry continued to thrust out their spears, retract them, and advanced steadily with the stabbing.

Although they advanced slowly, no one could stop their pace.

Many Tang Jun were still a little drunk and dizzy at this time, and some of them had even fallen asleep.

In a hurry, they didn't even have time to wear armor, let alone less than [-]% of Chai Shao's army wore armor.

They don't even have an army formation, so how can they resist such a strong force of Xuanwu infantry.

Hou Jun gathered 8000 infantry soldiers, leaving a few thousand behind to lead horses, while the remaining [-] soldiers lined up and attacked, and no one could stop them.

On the two wings, Yin Kaishan led [-] cavalry to attack the left flank of the Tang camp, while Duan Zhixuan led [-] cavalry to attack the right flank of the Tang camp.

They flanked each other on the left and the right, and the cavalry raided, killing Tang Jun by surprise.

In the city of Italy.

The city gate has long been closed.

When there were shouts of killing outside the city, Chai Shao and others were also facing the embarrassment of being closed and beaten.

The back yamen was closed at some point, and many Qin army crossbowmen appeared on the four walls of the county yamen.

Arrows rained down, Tang general Sun Hua, who was drinking heavily, was shot in the head by an arrow, and Wang Changkai just stood up, with his hand still on the handle, when he was shot in the chest by an arrow.

The two generals were killed immediately.

Chai Shao reacted faster, because he drank less wine, so he reacted quickly. When he heard the wind and rain, he quickly overturned the table in front of him and hid behind the table, barely avoiding several deadly arrows.

"Why did the Turks kill us?" Someone shouted in panic.

Chai Shao hid behind the table and looked at the arrows flying everywhere. He picked one from the side and held it in his hand for a closer look.

"Damn it, this is not a Turkic man, but a Qin army. This arrow has the mark of the Xuanwu army on it. We have been fooled by Luo Siye."

Hearing this, all the officers of the Tang army in the courtyard were ashamed. This is a sheep that has entered the tiger's mouth, and he has come to the door by himself, and his life is over!
