Chapter 127 Night Attack
In Huaihuang Town, there is a scene before the war. The grazing cattle and sheep are now collected in the city's sheep and horse walls to raise them.

Hearing that the Turks and Khitans might join forces to attack, the garrison troops in Huaihuang Town sped up their speed and built the city wall overnight.

Right now, there are only a few gaps in the south wall, while the east, west, and north walls are already solid, built like a copper wall and an iron wall.

Etuo suggested to Li Chongjiu that all the horses should be brought with him, and he would do his best in one battle, and concentrate all his efforts on destroying the Turkic Adi tribe.

Yinghofer also felt that it was not very sure that six hundred riders would attack a tribe of ten thousand people.

However, Li Chongjiu believes that the long-distance raid by the infantry is not effective. If 800 cavalry cannot succeed, so will [-] troops.

So he ordered Tanzong to guard the city, ordered three regiments of cavalry, and left the city at noon.

Er Tuo led his cavalry of Baiqi Xibu to lead the way, and his three regiments of cavalry were behind.

In the evening, six hundred cavalry entered a bush to rest in hiding.

In order to maintain horsepower, Qingqi is equipped with one person and two horses, while armored cavalry is even equipped with one person and three horses. You must know that a pair of Mingguang armor is at least [-] catties, and there is a special auxiliary horse to place the armor.
The soldiers rested in the dense forest, closed their eyes as soon as possible, or fed the horses with cloth troughs, or raised a small fire, covered all sides with cloth, and put the Sui knife on the fire to smoke, so that both sides were blackened. .

As for marching, order and prohibition, and not to make any noise at will, are the basic rules.

The Han people are obedient, while the Xi people are less disciplined, but under the military law of sticks and whips, they have restrained a lot.

But after getting along for a month, both the Xi people and the Han people have gradually become accustomed to cooperating with each other in combat, and have developed a certain tacit understanding. It is better to exclude each other at the beginning.

When camping, Li Chongjiu originally wanted to send cavalry to search the camp where Adibu was.

But he was stopped by the forehead.

Er Tuo said angrily: "This Han general, you really don't know how to march on the grassland."

"This is all plains. If we send people to search and be discovered by the Turks, won't this expose our intention of sneak attack to the Turks?"

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu looked at Yinghefu, who also nodded, thinking that was the case.

"What if the Turks moved away from the camp you saw yesterday? We didn't just run away in vain."

"Absolutely not. It's a high-quality pasture. Ah Duan migrated here for a long time. The horses and livestock must be given enough rest, which is more conducive to combat. During this period of time, they will never leave."

Li Chongjiu heard Ertuo's words very firmly, and said with a smile: "In that case, I'd better listen to your opinions."

Ertuo turned to Li Chongjiu, and Yinghe Fu said: "The camp of Adibu is within fifteen miles away. If you approach it during the day, you will be spotted by its scouts. Therefore, you can only win the battle if you move at night and make a sudden attack. "

Yinghe Fu nodded, and said: "Tonight is the last quarter moon, we will set off at midnight, and arrive at the place where the Azhang tribe is staying at dawn, and we will surely catch them by surprise."

After everyone discussed and agreed, they decided to act according to Eto's plan.

Six hundred cavalry, plus one hundred cavalry, rested in the middle of the night until a crescent moon rose from the east.

All armored cavalry took off their Mingguang armor for sneak attack at night.Wearing bright light armor that is easy to reflect light is the same as not smoking a knife black, it is a dead end.

Afterwards, the horses were clamped, the hoofs were wrapped in cloth, and a group of cavalry rode on the horses and drove all night.

It was almost dawn, and after seeing a large tribal camp with torches in the dim night, everyone knew that they were close to the target.

At present, all the cavalry dismounted together, walked to the willow field near the camp one mile away, changed to horses, and took a final rest.

In the night wind, the torches flickered.

In the Ababu camp, the soldiers on duty at night were at their most exhausted.

"Very well, the people of the Azhang Department definitely never expected that we would attack the camp at this time, and they were completely unprepared." Er Tuo said with a happy face.

At that moment, Eituo turned around and said proudly: "General Han, Yinghefu, I would like to lead my subordinates to be the first to rush into the camp, and you all follow behind me to cover up and kill."

Just as Yinghe Fu was about to speak, Li Chongjiu said first, "How can this be done?"

Er Tuo said angrily: "You Han people belong to mothers-in-law and mothers. Don't you think that we are as afraid of death as you are?"

Hearing what Er Tuo said, Li Chongjiu and Ying Hefu couldn't talk anymore, so they decided that Er Tuo would be the front line.
When Er Tuo was about to get on his horse, Li Chongjiu suddenly said, "Wait!"

Yinghe Fu and the forehead are all surprised.Er Tuo said angrily, "General Han, what are you doing?"

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "The time has not come, so my subordinates will rest for a while!"

"You Han people are really troublesome." Er Tuo said angrily, dismounted again, and sat down beside him with a dissatisfied face.

Then the forehead urged two more times, but Li Chongjiu refused.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter at this time, Wang Mahan suddenly stepped forward to Li Chongjiu's side and whispered a few words.

Li Chongjiu's eyes showed coldness when he heard this, and he said immediately: "Erto, you can prepare to attack."

Ertuo snorted coldly, turned around and was about to mount his horse, but at this moment Li Chongjiu suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed at Ertuo.

There was only a flash of the knife light, and this time the rabbit rose and fell, extremely fast.

Yinghe Fu and everyone who were close to him didn't react, only to see Li Chongjiu slashing alive with his knife.

In the haste, the forehead rest seemed to open his eyes behind his back, and unexpectedly blocked Li Chongjiu with a knife.

"What are you doing?"

Boom!
Everyone around didn't know why, so they all drew their swords, and it was unclear who was the enemy or the friend for a while.

Inhofer took a step forward, pressed the knife, and looked at the forehead with a sullen face.

I saw Li Chongjiu pointing his hand, and asked: "Is it a Khitan or a Turk who instructed you to deceive us into robbing the camp?"

All eyes are on the forehead.

Er Tuo suddenly showed an angry expression, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "General Han, yes, I am the internal response, you kill me!"

Immediately, the forehead rest threw the knife heavily on the ground.

Ying Hefu hurriedly stopped in front of Li Chongjiu, and said: "General, Er Tuo is my best brother. He is loyal to the tribe and will never betray us."

At present, several Xi soldiers also nodded in agreement.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "At this moment, you are still lying, okay, I will let you die willingly. Do you know what doubts you just revealed?"

"You said that the Khitans were going to sneak attack on us, but you heard the news, and you took the opportunity to inform us that you found the camp of Azui on our way. Isn't this too coincidental?"

"Okay, this is a coincidence, but you mentioned before that if you are near the Azubu camp during the day, you are likely to be discovered by the scouts, and how did you notice the Azubu camp during the day without being spotted by the opponent's scouts?" ? And must be sure that it is Azube?"

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Of course, the last thing you should do is to let a subordinate prepare to leave here secretly to inform the Turkic people, but in the end, I arranged for your subordinates who have been secretly watching you to find out. "

When Li Chongjiu said this last sentence, a large number of Khitan cavalry quietly appeared under the city of Huaihuang.

PS: Thank you for hurting the soul, Remnant Soul, Kaitou Kidd SR for the reward, and Nine Wolves for the evaluation vote.Today is still the third watch, and it will be served tonight.
