  Chapter 608 Flowering

  Qin Lang looked up at the sky.

  The sky is dark and unclear, and the star Qimin has risen.

   "It's almost dawn."

  Qin Lang said.

   Duan Zhixuan and all the generals also nodded, "This should be the fourth watch, right?"

  Zhang Shigui said, "At this time, people are most asleep, and most people in Tuyuhun are probably dreaming."

   "It's a good time to raid."

   Several of them are master soldiers with rich experience, and they are particular about attacking the camp. Generally speaking, the opponents who attack the camp in the first half of the night are more prepared, but in the second half of the night, especially when it is almost dawn, they are less prepared.

   This is the best time of the day to sleep, and it is also the time when defenses are the most lax. The sky is about to brighten, and most people will not sneak attack at this time. Because the time left for the attackers is very short at this time, if they cannot make meritorious deeds quickly, once the sky is bright, it will not be easy to create chaos.

   After all, the most important aspect of a night raid is to win by chaos. Deliberately creating confusion, especially bluffing, can also confuse the public, making it difficult for people to understand the direction and quantity of the attackers' attack.

   Soldiers are available, they are all false and real.

   Those who are good at using soldiers never take the usual path.

   "Do you want to notify General Chai first?"

  Qin Lang shook his head, "In the current situation, we are not only separated from them by more than 200,000 Tuyuhun troops, but also separated by a Wenquan River, let alone a steep mountain wall between the Wenquan River and Yema Beach."

  In this situation, we can only attack alone.

  Chai Shao and Liu Lancheng are also generals. If this side launches a surprise attack, the other side should soon find out, and they should know what to do.

  Qin Lang quickly drew a simple picture of the Tuyuhun Army's garrison on the ground, and took a few stones to show it.

  This is the hot spring river, about ten feet wide, the current is relatively gentle, but the water is very deep.

  Here is West Datan, and here is East Datan.

  The two beaches are adjacent to the Yellow River in the east, and there is a hot spring river more than ten feet wide between the two beaches.

  To the west of the two beaches, there are two high platforms, and to the east of Xidatan is the Yema Beach platform.

  Qin Lang combined the information he got in his hands and drew a simple map, which was clear and clear at a glance.

"Right now, there are Fu Yun's troops stationed on Dongda Beach, about 130,000 people. He lost about 20,000 people in the battle of Yema Beach last time. Although he didn't lose many troops, his morale also plummeted. , had to withdraw to Dadongtan to rest, and shrank to the back of Tianzhu King."

   "By the way, this Dadongtan is also the place where Xue Wanche defeated the five thousand troops of Tuyuhun last time."

  There is a floating bridge between Dadongtan and Daxitan.

And there is another **** on Daxi Beach that can connect to Yema Beach. King Tianzhu's army is divided into two parts. Daxi Beach under Yema Beach, the two parts are one in front and one in back, one up and one down to control the road to Yema Beach.

   Ashina Zhong stepped forward and said a few words in front of Qin Lang.

"Oh, the latest news, correct the map. The road to Daxitan and Shangyematan is actually in the west, just on the edge of the pontoon bridge between Fuyun and Tianzhuwang armies. The road to Shangyematan is very tortuous, about It's about fifteen miles away."

   This latest information is very important.

It turned out that Qin Lang thought that the road to the beach was in the Tianzhu King Daxitan camp, but who knew it was actually on the inner side of the north bank of the river mouth. The two armies on Tianzhuwang Yema Beach and Daxi Beach seemed to be side by side, but in fact they were The protruding cliffs on the southeast side of Yetai Beach make the road to the beach actually on the inner side of the southeast corner, which means that Daxitan, where King Tianzhu protrudes on the north side of the river mouth, has to be narrow to get to the beach. A section of the north bank of the estuary can reach the intersection.

"Everyone, have you seen this? It is this section of the hot spring river pontoon bridge connecting the two beaches, which is very important. If we can control this section of pontoon bridge, we will not only be able to separate the people and horses on both sides of Fuyun and Tianzhu King, but also By guarding the north bank of the pontoon bridge, we can also separate the soldiers and horses on Tianzhu Wang West Beach and Yema Beach, especially to control the only way to go up and down Yema Beach."

  When Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Shigui heard this, all the generals were in high spirits.

   "Only one bridge connected?"

   "Well, there's really only one pontoon."

  Duan Zhixuan stared at the map for a long time. A pontoon bridge and a road going up and down the beach actually divided the more than 230,000 Tuyuhun people into three groups.

  Yangma Beach, Dadong Beach, Daxi Beach.

   "The location of this pontoon bridge seems to be a bit special." Zhang Shigui pointed to the pontoon bridge, "Did Duke Wei draw this location at random, or is it really on the west side of the two beaches?"

  Qin Lang specially called Ashina Zhong to ask, and got his affirmative answer.

   "The pontoon bridge is indeed on the westernmost side of the two beaches, that is, at the narrowest part of the river mouth. It is estimated that the pontoon bridge was built here because the north side of the pontoon bridge is directly facing the road to the beach, and this is the narrowest place."

Zhang Shigui said excitedly, "In this case, God is helping us. If the pontoon bridge is built in the middle of the two beaches, then if we want to seize the pontoon bridge, we must not kill Fuyun camp first. We can take it again. Now, at the westernmost point, we can seize the south bank of Xiqiao with one charge, and the north bank with another charge, and control the south intersection of Shangxiayema ​​Beach by the way."

  Duan Zhixuan looked around and found that it was indeed the case.

   "This node is very critical, but the problem is, we only have 8,000 troops, and if we plunge into the third Tuyuhun battalion and hit the vital point, they will definitely counterattack with all their strength and encircle us on three sides. Can we hold it?"

   This is a problem, and it's important.

   Whether it can bloom in the center or be surrounded by three sides, no one can be sure.

   "As long as we fight together, if we last for an hour or two, won't there be tens of thousands of our Tang army soldiers on Yetai Beach?" Qin Lang still held a positive attitude. Originally, he wanted this effect after detouring for hundreds of miles.

   It is impossible to retreat when the time of war comes.

Duan Zhixuan put forward a conservative suggestion, "Either our 8,000 men and horses will go straight over and cross the pontoon bridge first, regardless of Fuyun or Tianzhu King. After crossing the bridge, we will directly kill Yematan, block the road, and then we will The two armies first encircled the 70,000 to 80,000 horses that King Tianzhu was besieging on Yema Beach, and then he was surrounded and wiped out, and then Cheng Yaojin's siege was released, and Chai Shao and Liu Lancheng's soldiers were combined, and then rushed down the beach?"

   Doing this will undoubtedly avoid being surrounded on three sides at the narrow location at the intersection of the pontoon bridge.

"But if this is the case, even if we can encircle and wipe out the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops on Yema Beach, it will be difficult for the hundreds of thousands of people below. If they see that the situation is not good, they will just run away and try to survive with a broken arm, but don't even think about it." There is another good opportunity to encircle and wipe them out." Zhang Shigui said.

   "Didn't Duke Wei still have 3,000 troops to intercept him in Wuhai?"

   "Three thousand troops, how could it be possible to stop hundreds of thousands of horses?"

   Several generals were arguing endlessly.

  Qin Lang raised his head, the sky was still dark and unclear, but it was not far from dawn.

   "Gao Zhensheng listens to the order."

   "The end is here."

   "I'll give you a thousand rides, and you cross the bridge first, control the pontoon bridge, and block the road to Shangyematan. Can you do it?"

   "A thousand riders is a little short." Gao Zhensheng told the truth.

   "Then I will give you three thousand rides, can you keep it?"

   "Two thousand rides are enough."

   "Okay, I'll give you 2,000 rides. You take down the pontoon bridge and control the pontoon bridge and the intersection of Shangyema Beach. If you can't hold it, come and see me."

"Mr. Xi, I'll give you a thousand horses. You go to the Yema Beach and raid the Tianzhu King's troops outside the Yema Terrace. Remember, bluff, shoot more rockets, bring more drums and horns, and make the momentum louder. Remember not to rush into the enemy camp recklessly, you only have a thousand horses, and you are not really asked to break through the enemy camp."

   "For such a task, Wei Gong can just replace it with someone else."

  Qin Lang glared at him, "Am I bargaining with you?"

  Xi Junmai hurriedly raised his chest and raised his head, "The last general obeys the order!"

"The remaining 5,000 cavalry, under the command of Zhang Shigui and Duan Zhixuan, followed me straight to the Fuyundong Datan camp. Fuyun's old thief's troops have just suffered a new defeat, and their morale is weak at this time. If we raid his camp, There must be a great opportunity.”

  Qin Lang has great ambitions, and he is not satisfied with just besieging and annihilating the Tianzhu King on Yema Beach.

got windy.

  The cool summer wind blows along the hot spring valley, refreshing people.

   Tang Jun who had a rest for a while was also full of energy.

  The soldiers check each other's equipment.

  Eat and drink enough, put the water in, and clear the intestines. At this time, with the iron armor on the body and the iron soldiers in hand, everyone turned on their horses.

  In the last few tens of miles just now, everyone rode specially prepared horses. Now they put on the long-rested war horses. They are like tigers and horses like dragons.

  The last ten miles.

   "My lords, the yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles. If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it! The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"

  Qin Lang raised his spear and shouted.

  Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan and others were all shocked by this passionate poem.

   "The poet finally came out with a fairy sentence again!" Several military officers were stunned by the poem.

  But Qin Lang didn't intend to show these at all. He kicked the horse's belly and urged the horse to gallop.

   "If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it!" Countless soldiers followed closely behind.

  Gao Zhensheng and Xi Jun and Ma Erjiang led the way, followed by Qin Lang and Zhang Shigui.

   In the last ten miles, there is no need to hide anymore.

   "Raise the fire!"

  Countless torches were lit, and a fire dragon rose instantly in the hot spring valley, winding forward.

  The fire dragon is advancing rapidly between the river valleys.

  The sound of rumbling horseshoes echoed in the valley, like thunder.

  The Dongdatan Tuyuhun army who was sleeping soundly was startled by this sound.

   "What is this sound, is the landslide?"

  In the land where the river bends, there are many mountains and few trees. Landslides and mudslides often occur. Those Tuyuhun people thought it was a landslide.

   When they got up in a panic, they saw a fire dragon rushing towards them.

  Xi Junmai was the first to rush forward with his thousand horses.

  The pontoon bridge is on the easternmost side of Fuyun's camp. The so-called camp actually has neither fences nor horse repelling. It's just that Fuyun withdrew to Dongda Beach to rest after his defeat from Yema Beach.

   Countless tents were randomly set up on this huge beach grassland that was more than ten miles long and several miles wide, and accommodated hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers.

   Hundreds of thousands of people, almost occupying the entire East Datan, a bunch here, a bunch there.

  On the south bank of the pontoon bridge, there were not many people camping. Perhaps because the intersection was too noisy, most of them gave way.

  Xi Jun bought a dash, and before the Tuyuhun people could react, he had successfully cut down a patrol on the south bank, and successfully rode his horse onto the pontoon bridge.

  The war horse ran all the way to the north bank on the pontoon bridge, and another shot of arrows and knives slashed down the north bank patrol who was still in a state of confusion.

Gao Zhensheng's 2,000 riders rushed up after him, and 500 people guarded the south bank of the pontoon bridge. He led 1,500 people across the pontoon bridge, leaving 500 people to guard the intersection of Shangtan, and then he led 1,000 people to guard the pontoon bridge. On the way from the north bank to the camp of Tianzhu King.

   "Unless you are dead, don't let anyone come over!" Gao Zhensheng roared.

On the south bank, Qin Lang led 5,000 cavalry and divided them into three divisions. Duan Zhixuan led 2,000 cavalry as the left wing, Zhang Shigui led 2,000 cavalry as the right wing, and Qin Lang led 1,000 cavalry as the central army. Like three sharp arrows, they shot fiercely into the Fu Yun's Dongdatan camp.

  They are like three flames spouted by a fire dragon, sweeping forward violently!
