Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Soon, the scouts sent out returned again.

When Li Shimin heard that Zhang Taixin was leading his men to clean up the battlefield and brutally kill the captured soldiers, he almost broke his back teeth out of breath.

If Yu Chigong hadn't stopped him, he might have turned around and gone back to kill him.

However, at this time, he also understood that the other party was in a state of excitement, and if he took someone there now, he might be in for another hard fight.

Suppressing his inner impulse, Li Shimin once again sent a team of scouts to monitor the movements of the opponent's camp, and then directly ordered the others to wait and rest where they were.

At the same time, Zhang Taixin, who had finished sorting out the battlefield, became more and more aggrieved as he thought about it.

Why can you, Li Shimin, send troops to sneak attack me, but I can only endure it?

This is not Chang'an. Although you have far more troops than me, it's not difficult for me to sneak attack at night to retaliate against you and leave immediately, right?

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Taixin felt that his method was feasible.

You know, although Li Shimin said that the sneak attack just now failed, he was ambushed by himself.

But he still has at least 1500 cavalry on hand.

If the opponent does not care about the cost and is shameless, he will directly let these cavalry follow him after dawn, harassing him at all times and slowing down his escape.

Then he will definitely be easily caught up by them, and thus directly destroyed by the opponent.

Rather than waiting for death slowly here, it is better to take advantage of the opponent's new defeat and unstable military morale to catch them off guard.

What's more, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to believe that they have the courage to attack them secretly, and they will certainly not set up too many protections.

If he could succeed in a sneak attack tonight, causing heavy casualties to Li Shimin's army, or allowing him to blow up the camp, then he would have a great chance of getting rid of the other party's pursuit.

No matter how bad it is, it can consume the opponent's strength.

At that time, as long as he catches up with the five-surnamed Qiwang team in front and the two armies merge into one, then he should not have to worry about Li Shimin's pursuit.

If possible, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might be able to stay in this land forever.

After thinking about it, Zhang Taixin began to slowly become excited.

Immediately, he directly called several of his generals and began to describe his plan.

Upon hearing this, the generals also felt that this plan was feasible.

Instantly my blood boiled with excitement.

If this sneak attack is successful, Li Shimin can be captured.

So, whether you want to negotiate terms with the Tang Dynasty or join the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, this bargaining chip in your hand is enough to ensure that everyone has food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, with the unanimous consent of everyone, Zhang Taixin made up his mind and prepared to carry out a counter-surprise attack.

However, when he sent out scouts to explore Li Shimin's camp, he was shocked to find that the cavalry that they had repulsed did not return to the camp.

At this time, the camp was completely silent, without being affected in the slightest.

When he heard the scout's report, Zhang Taixin, who was about to lead the team to leave, was stunned.

At this moment, a terrible thought suddenly sounded in his mind.

Is Li Shimin preparing to attack the camp for the second time?

Feeling that the situation was serious, he immediately ordered to suspend all actions.

Then he slowly extinguished the lights in the camp, and once again led his troops to slowly withdraw outside the camp.

The scouts hiding in the distance saw the lights in Zhang Taixin's camp slowly extinguishing and thought that the other party was ready to rest at this time.

He immediately reported the matter to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin got the news, he led people to approach quietly again.

This time, Zhang Taixin did not continue to pretend.

Not only were the scarecrows removed, but most of the sentry posts that were originally on duty were removed.

Only a few dozing soldiers were left.

Li Shimin observed from the outside for a while, always feeling that there was something strange in the camp, and was hesitating whether to make a sneak attack again.

Yu Chigong on the side couldn't wait any longer:

"Your Majesty, look, everyone in this camp is sleeping to death."

"They definitely wouldn't have thought that we would launch a second sneak attack. If we do it now, we will definitely catch them off guard."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard Yu Chigong's words. Although what the other party said made sense, he had just suffered a loss. If he rushes in rashly again, if there is another ambush, wouldn't he lose himself? A lifetime of fame?

Thinking of this, he pointed to a few dozing sentries outside the camp and said:

"Send a few people over to try and get rid of the sentries on their periphery, and then enter the camp to explore the enemy's situation."

"If there is nothing abnormal, then we will continue to attack. If this is a trap by the opponent, then we can evacuate as soon as possible."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had become so cautious because of a small failure, Yuchi Gong curled his lips and somewhat blamed Li Shimin for being timid.

However, he did not disobey the other party's order and directly sent a team of scouts towards the camp.

With great success, the scout reached several sentries and cut their throats one by one, letting them die in their sleep.

Li Shimin, who was observing the scouts attentively from the outside, did not expect that this operation would go so smoothly.

Immediately, he thought that the other party really had no defense at all.

At this moment, Yu Chigong on the side spoke again:

"Your Majesty, you see, they have cleared all the sentries, but nothing happened. It seems that those traitors must be fast asleep."

"Such a great opportunity, if we don't take advantage of it, we may be punished by God."

Hearing Yu Chigong's words, Li Shimin, who was already a little moved, could no longer lie down. He immediately stood up, got on his horse, and shouted to the team behind him:

"Follow me to attack, and whoever captures Zhang Taixin alive will be promoted to the third rank, and will be rewarded with the county son, and will be given a thousand taels of silver. Whoever takes his head will be promoted to the third rank, and will be given a thousand taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the soldiers who were depressed suddenly lit up, and their eyes looking towards the camp were full of desire.

Li Shimin hardly needed an order, and everyone mounted their horses in unison, twitching the weapons in their hands, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's order to make great achievements.

However, what disappointed them was that this time Li Shimin did not intend to continue the charge, but stood aside with a team of guards.

Then he said respectfully to Yuchi:

"Jing De, it's all your fault this time."

Yuchi Gong laughed, then cupped his fists and saluted Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, just wait for the good news. In the end, the head of that thief Zhang Taixin will be brought for your viewing pleasure."

After saying that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, waved the tile-faced golden mace in his hand, and took the lead in rushing towards the camp.

As a fierce cry of killing rang out, Yu Chigong led 1500 cavalry under his command and rushed into the camp without any obstruction.
