Chapter 722 Intrigue (continued)
The soldiers who rushed in and the reprimand of Khan made several chiefs of the Guli Cadre tribe look at each other, and they looked at each other as dumbfounded, looking at the left and right, and then looking at Khan Chuluo, full of inexplicable expressions:
"Shank you!! We didn't send anyone out secretly?"
One of the white-bearded chiefs shouted injustice: "Khan! We didn't send anyone out! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to my camp immediately. If one is missing, let it be done!"
Chuluo Khan looked at these chiefs Guligan and looked at everyone's eyes. Seeing that no one was evasive and his expression was nothing unusual, he laughed: "Since that's the case, someone has made a mistake, don't take it to heart."
He is testing these people. If someone has a ghost in his heart and is intimidated by him, he will definitely behave abnormally. Now it seems that there is no problem.
Chuluo Khan waved his hand and asked the soldiers to retreat, comforted the chiefs with kind words, and made a wish to coax the people to tears. He couldn't help but swear to fight the Khan to fight to the death, so that the Zhou army would never return.
It was getting late, and several chiefs left the tent and returned to their camps. The white-bearded chief left the tent and looked up at the stars in the sky, feeling a chill on his back.
The scene just now was too thrilling. If he hadn't prepared in advance, he would have been frightened by Khan, thinking that the secret information about Zhou Jun was leaked, and he knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.
When he turned back to the camp, he saw several "capable people" waiting in the tent. The chief asked the left and right to guard the left and right outside and asked the people in a low voice: "Khan really tried us, but he didn't test it out. What should we do next?"
Zhou Guoxi, who was disguised and walking in the Northland region, was about to comfort the chief who was worried, but heard the shouts outside and the sound of horse hooves were like a tide.
Many people kept shouting: "The Zhou army is here! The Zhou army is here!"
Everyone rushed out of the tent and saw many fires flashing in the wilderness. It seemed that many cavalrymen were coming here with torches. Combined with the shouts, it seemed that the Zhou army was attacking.
Seeing this, the old chief was very excited and thought that the Zhou army had arrived, and wanted to summon the troops to support him, make great contributions, and live a good life in the future, but Mo Chengshan grabbed him: "What's wrong, this doesn't look like an official army!"
"Why isn't it? People are rushing over, we don't want to..."
"No, something is wrong. The official army attacked at night, and the torches would not be lit from afar, for fear that others would not know that someone would come to attack..." Mo Chengshan said, and his voice lowered: "The official army attacked at night, and only set fire with a tinder bomb after entering the camp. There is no need to ignite the torches in advance... This is fake!"
"So, it must be Khan who is testing, we can't be fooled!"
......
Late at night, Luo Khan, with a tired look on his face, met several generals in the big tent. He ordered people to pretend to be Zhou's army and attack at night to test whether there were any Zhou army's internal responses in the camp. The test result made him very satisfied:
The camps of all tribes were on high alert and were all on guard against the arrival of the Zhou army. The generals who were secretly surveillance were arranged by Luo Khan to detect any abnormalities in any camp, and no one gathered soldiers to raid the Khan's tent.
Now, Chuluo Khan can confirm that there is no Zhou domestic response in the Renmin Camp, so he can give it a try next.
Of course, he must have an explanation for this "night attack" tonight, otherwise the tribes that assisted the war will sooner or later become suspicious and feel that Khan does not believe them, which is very unfavorable for maintaining morale.
Therefore, pretending to be the soldiers attacking Zhou's army at night, they just took torches and walked around the camp for a few times before retreating. Then, generals explained to the tribes of the camp that they were friendly troops who came to reinforce overnight, but both sides misunderstood that the other party was the Zhou army, which almost evolved into a war.
The night was dark, and Chuluo Khan ordered some things. When the generals took their leave, they lay down to rest.
The Zhou army is approaching the ambush point, and the outcome will be decided in the next two days, so he must cultivate his spirit and lead the warriors of the Khanate to achieve the final victory.
This battle must be won no matter what. If the Emperor of Zhou is in the army, it would be better. When the news of the Emperor of Zhou’s defeat and death came back to the country, I think there will inevitably be problems in Zhou.
In this way, the Khanate will have a chance to make a comeback, and the last wishes of his father and brother will be fulfilled in his hands.
The descendants of the Ashina clan will never crawl at the feet of others and beg for mercy, but will be a wolf galloping on the grassland and unrivaled.
Chuluo Khan has always believed in this. At that time, the Asina tribe was just Rouran's slaves, but it also overturned the overlord of the grassland and became the new overlord.
The Ashin family's later status was not due to making money through business or being a dog for others, but by winning the battle the most direct way and the winner was the king.
Now, it's his turn to recreate the glory of Asina!
Chuluo Khan was dreaming of the future, but was awakened by the harsh sound of trumpets. He subconsciously pulled out the sword under the pillow. As soon as he stood up, he saw his confidant stumble in: "Khan! Zhou army is coming!"
"What...what? Zhou army? Sneak attack?" Chuluo Khan was a little overwhelmed. He thought that his confidant had made a mistake, so he arranged for him to pretend to be the Zhou army's night attack, and thought that the Zhou army was really attacking.
"Kill, khan! It's really the Zhou army here!"
My confidant pulled Chu Luo Khan out of his tent, but he saw that the wilderness outside the camp was pitch black. However, the sound of horse hooves and fighting sounds proved that there were indeed troops attacking at night.
Chuluo Khan's face changed. Just as he was about to give an order, he heard the thunder sound and fires burst out from the camp one after another.
The fire and movement were recognized by Chuluo Khan. He followed his father to Jinyang of Zhou to meet the Emperor of Zhou and saw the display of firearms of the Zhou army. Now the movement was obviously caused by thunder in the sky or thunder in his palm.
There was another harsh whistling sound, but a ball of fire rushes into the sky and then bursts with brilliant fireworks.
The fireworks illuminated the faces of many people, making Chuluo Khan's face look particularly white, without a trace of blood.
......
The huge camp has now turned into a sea of fire, illuminating the night sky with flames soaring into the sky, and also illuminating the targets for the Zhou cavalry who broke into the Turkic army camp.
The Turkic soldiers who were panicked and ran around were knocked down, chopped down, and shot down by Zhou cavalry who were divided into many small groups of attacking the camp. Countless camp tents turned into ashes in the flames, and countless cattle, sheep and war horses fled in scattered.
The large number of Zhou army cavalry were divided into three directions and launched an attack on the Turkic camp in the early morning, just like a hungry wolf rushing into the sheep pen, killing in the sheep pen.
There were also internal forces of the Guli cadres who were in charge of the uprising, attacking the Turkic tent from the inside, resulting in the lack of time for the Chuluo Khan to organize various departments to fight back.
Such sudden internal and external attacks made the Turkic troops who had no leader and rushed to fight quickly collapsed.
The soldiers who dared to fight were knocked down by the Zhou cavalry with firearms, and many hastily formed insurgent formations were destroyed by the thunder in the palms thrown by the Zhou cavalry.
The Turkic tribes and servant tribes who were fighting each other could not stop the well-equipped Zhou cavalry, and the continuous influx of Zhou troops were like waves of huge waves hitting various camps, shattering these camps.
In the midst of chaos, Luo Khan, who was in the tent, looked at the sea of fire around him, watched his soldiers dissipate in the fire, his heart was as if he was twisted, and he was distraught, and he waved his sword to ask the sky: "Why! Why!"
He couldn't understand why he had made careful arrangements, had already tested the loyalty of each department, had clearly prepared, and was so close to victory, why was he still attacked by someone to succeed?
He specially summoned the savage tribes in the Beihai area to go south to help the war, just to beware of the nobles as the Zhou army's internal supporters. As a result, the Koli Cadres among them actually became the Zhou army's internal supporters, revealing his whereabouts. Otherwise, how could the Zhou army discover this place and carry out night attacks?
The hope of revitalizing the Khanate is right in front of him, but now, hope is broken before him.
The confidants organized troops to assist Khan in breaking through. Khuluo Khan rode on his horse, rushed out of the camp, and looked back at the flames soaring into the sky, choking speechlessly.
But when I heard the sound of horse hooves, there were Zhou cavalry on both sides of the front.
The two sides were getting closer and closer. At a distance of thirty steps, Chuluo Khan saw Zhou Bing take out his firearm and shoot at them.
After the "crackling" sound, many Turkic cavalry fell down with their men and horses, and then the two sides started a hand-to-hand combat.
Chuluo Khan shouted, waved his sword, and led his left and right horses to face the Zhou army.
