Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

As time went by, it soon came to midnight.

Li Shimin and Yu Chigong have basically completed preparations.

All the soldiers had their heads tied, their horses reined in, and their feet wrapped in linen. They then followed the path that had been explored long ago and slowly moved toward Zhang Taixin's camp.

At this time, Zhang Taixin was always paying attention to Li Shimin's movements.

But when he heard the scout's report that the other party had left the camp and was approaching here, he immediately ordered that all the open fires in the camp be extinguished, leaving only a dozen sentries in the camp and a few towers placed around it. Hundreds of scarecrows tied up in advance.

And he, with all his soldiers, quietly exited the camp and hid around.

Soon, Li Shimin and Yuchi Gong quietly came over with their troops.

When they saw the darkness inside the camp and so many soldiers patrolling the outside, they suddenly felt happy.

It seems that the other party is also worried about their night attack, so they have stepped up their vigilance.

Judging from this, the other party probably doesn't know that he has already touched it.

After observing carefully for a while, Yu Chigong's sharp eyes discovered something unusual.

He saw that although there were many soldiers on duty around the camp, there were only two or three walking back and forth.

As for the rest of the people, most of them were resting against the wall, and they were just look-alikes.

He told Li Shimin what he had discovered.

After discussing it for a while, the two agreed that this was a God-given opportunity.

So, without thinking, he ordered all the soldiers under his command to mount their horses, then with a wave of their hands, they lit the torches in their hands and began to charge into the camp.

There was a dull sound of horse hooves.

Li Shimin and Yu Chigong led the 3000 cavalrymen in this night attack and rushed directly to Zhang Taixin's camp.

However, as soon as they rushed to the entrance of the camp, suddenly, the cavalry rushing at the front gave way, and then, including the man and the horse, they fell into a deep pit.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalrymen behind them who couldn't stop were like dumplings falling into the pit, scrambling for the first place.

By the time the cavalry behind realized that the situation was not good and wanted to tighten their reins, the cavalry in front had basically filled the hole.

At the same time, the patrol guards on the guard tower seemed to have just discovered something unusual, and they sounded the gong and shouted loudly to sound the alarm.

As a clanging sound of gongs was heard, the chaos as imagined was not heard.

In the camp, except for the sound of the gong and the shouts of the sentries, it was eerily quiet.

be cheated.

Such a thought flashed across Li Shimin and Yu Chigong's minds.

When they realized something was wrong and wanted to order a retreat, Zhang Taixin had already led their men from behind and blocked their way.

brush brush~~~

After a hail of arrows, screams continued from behind, and the soldiers immediately became panic-stricken.

By the time Li Shimin and Yu Chigong reacted, Zhang Taixin had already led his men to kill them.

Li Shimin, who never expected that his plan would be leaked and that the other party would take advantage of him, roared angrily.

He yelled loudly, hoping to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the soldiers.

However, the battlefield at this time was filled with all kinds of miserable howls, completely covering up Li Shimin's roar.

No matter how loud he shouted, it would only be heard by some of the cavalry around him.

Although they also want to obey the order and reorganize the team.

But because the surroundings were too chaotic, they were just helpless.

Originally, most soldiers of this era suffered from night blindness due to a lack of trace elements.

If it were a surprise attack this time, it would just be smooth sailing.

However, this time they completely fell into Zhang Taixin's scheme, which caused the soldiers to panic and wanted to run away. They had no intention of resisting.

Even if there were torches around them, they couldn't calm down.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, this night attack completely failed.

Yuchi Gong, who was on the side, suddenly started to push away the crowd with his bodyguards, and then began to shout towards the surroundings:

"Your Majesty has a decree. The whole army will attack and kill the rebels!!!"

"Your Majesty has a decree. The whole army will attack and kill the rebels!!!"

"Your Majesty has a decree. The whole army will attack and kill the rebels!!!"

The area around the camp was instantly shaken by the wave of shouts that overwhelmed the other waves.

The originally flustered cavalrymen immediately calmed down a lot after hearing these shouts.

Then, he also shouted loudly.

As more and more soldiers joined, finally, the cavalry, which had been in chaos, were gathered together again and charged towards Zhang Taixin's infantry.

Zhang Taixin fled this time, and the cavalry he brought out was limited.

It was night again, and they wanted to attack Li Shimin again.

Therefore, horses, animals that are difficult to control and easily make noise, have been hidden for a long time.

Originally, Zhang Taixin wanted to catch Li Shimin off guard, trap him outside the camp, and then use the advantages of location and time to eliminate them all.

But he never expected that Yuchi Jingde would suddenly jump out halfway and completely destroy his plan.

Not only that, but now the opponent has regrouped the cavalry and is preparing to counterattack. How can he endure this?

After much hesitation, Zhang Taixin gritted his teeth and reluctantly mobilized the hundreds of muskets and 200 crossbowmen he had in hand to form a queue and prepare to deal with the cavalry.

But what he didn't know was that Yu Chigong's original intention was not to fight with them at all.

After gathering the remaining cavalry, he personally led the team and began to attack the encirclement.

Although it was still night, with the unstoppable impact of the cavalry, he quickly broke through the encirclement, escorted Li Shimin, and quickly escaped from Zhang Taixin's encirclement.

However, due to the hasty action and fear of being surrounded again, Yuchi Gong directly drove his horses and galloped towards his camp after leading Li Shimin out of the encirclement.

When Zhang Taixin gathered together and prepared to catch turtles in a jar, he found that Yuchi Jingde had already escaped with Li Shimin.

In desperation, he could only vent his anger on those cavalry who had no time to escape, and shot them into sieves.

Li Shimin and Yu Chigong galloped all the way and finally stopped after escaping for four to five miles.

Looking at the cavalry that was nearly half damaged, Li Shimin instantly felt the urge to kill.

Half of the cavalry he had finally assembled died inexplicably.

How can he endure this?

With a flash of anger in his eyes, Li Shimin did not rush back to the camp, but sent out scouts again to investigate Zhang Taixin's situation at this time.
