Chapter 19 Night Attack
At the beginning of May, it was already summer, and the sky was darker than before. It was late Xu, and the night fell completely, and the sky was pitch black.
Xiong Gu waited in Gechuan Post for time to pass slowly. When it was dark, it was not a chance for Xiong Gu to take action. Xiong Gu waited until the beginning of the ugly moment in the second half of the night, everything was silent and people slept the most deadly. He slowly took more than 17,000 Tubo soldiers and slowly touched it out from Gechuan Post.
Although it had already entered summer, the climate on the plateau was not as cool as Guanzhong, and it was still a bit cool at night. The male bone rode out of the city wearing a big coat, and carefully took his subordinates and headed off to the direction of the Tang army camp ten miles away.
The situation in the middle school in China is becoming more and more unfavorable to him. If he waits, he will only end up being lonely and lose power, and may not even be able to save wealth and life. Therefore, Xiong Gu's trip naturally bet on his own wealth and life and the safety of the entire Gechuan Post, and he has to give it a try.
This bet is not uncommon for him. If he loses this bet, not only Gechuanyi will be lost, but even his own life will be difficult to protect.
But if he wins, he will be the hero of the Tang army, or even capture the Tang emperor alive. This is a record he dare not imagine. With this battle alone, he can surpass Lu Dongzan, who has been famous for twenty years, and become the most famous general in Tubo, and will be able to gain prestige in the world, fame and wealth at your fingertips.
There were a knife on both sides. Instead of waiting for him to be replaced by Lu Dongzan and losing power to be defeated by Lu Dongzan, he might as well try hard, at least he still has a chance to win.
Xiong Gu led his army to the Tang army camp. I don’t know if it was his own plan or the heavens saw him. Xiong Gu’s trip was extremely smooth. He walked quickly but did not see a Tang army guard. He easily touched outside the Tang army camp quietly, and did not even ask the Tang army to notice it.
"Master, the Tang Army Camp is ahead." Less than a mile outside the Tang Army Camp, Xionggu's confidant deputy general Mi Zun pointed to the direction of the Tang Army Camp and told Xionggu.
Xiong Gu looked at the Tang army camp, looked at the largest military tent in the middle of the camp, and said, "The place in the middle of the army should be where Emperor Tang is."
Mi Zun said: "The Emperor of Tang is close to us. We are only one step away from defeating the Tang army and even capturing the Emperor of Tang alive. The general is famous all over the world tonight."
In Mi Zun's opinion, they were attacking at night, but the Tang army was unprepared. At this point, they had at least half of their success in the battle today, and it was inevitable that Mi Zun was a little excited.
Xiong Gu saw that he was in the forefront of his great achievements, but Xiong Gu suppressed a somewhat excited voice and ordered: "Tell the three armies to prepare swords and torches, and get on the horse and prepare to steal the camp."
Although the Tang army did not have scouts outside the attack, there were still some guards in the camp. They had already walked here and were about to enter the sight of the Tang army guards. Xiong Gu also knew that it was impossible for them to march forever and not be discovered, so Xiong Gu ordered the three armies to board the horse and prepare to rush into the Tang army camp as quickly as possible.
The soldiers under Xiong Gu were elites brought by the capital of the country. With Xiong Gu's order, more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers responded, turned over their horses, followed Xiong Gu and headed straight for the Tang army camp.
The previous marching of the male bones was discovered by the Tang army, so they kept hiding their own traces, and the movement was still smaller. Now the male bones are no longer hiding, and suddenly thousands of horses are running together, and the sound of horse hooves exploded outside the Tang army camp like rolling thunder, heading straight for the Tang army camp.
Xiong Gu was warlike, and when he marched and fought, he was fearless and charged forward. He rode his horse straight to the Tang Army camp, looking at the Tang Army camp with lights in the distance, his eyes were full of desire and ambition. One step forward was the credit for throwing the sky and the unparalleled wealth. Xiong Gu's hand holding the long sword was inadvertently tightening the ground.
Ten thousand troops were moving together, galloping in the horses, and the momentum was shocking. Such a huge movement had already scared the birds and beasts to fly away. Now the Tang army in the camp had no reason to be inaudible. Just as the Xiongbone Army approached slightly, the Tang army soldiers obviously discovered them, and hurried back to the camp, as if they were going to report the news.
Xiong Gu was not worried about the Tang army's actions to report the news. The Tubo army was less than one mile away from the Tang army camp, and the Tubo people rode their horses again. This short distance could reach outside the Tang army camp gate in just a few breaths. It was too late for the Tang army soldiers to report the news again.
A moment later, Xionggu came to the Tang Army gate excitedly, but when he saw the appearance of the Tang Army Camp, he felt unsure and began to feel a little worried because the appearance of the Tang Army Camp Gate was too abnormal.
At the huge camp gate of the Tang army, there were only a hundred soldiers guarding the gate. Moreover, after seeing them, the more than one hundred people fled directly to the camp behind them. This was really surprised.
This is the Tang army that is rampant in the world? You know, the camp behind them is not ordinary people, but their Tang emperor Li Ke, who is regarded as the emperor. Li Ke is in the camp behind them. They actually retreated like this. Is this the Tang army he knows?
Xiong Gu is warlike, brave, and a little arrogant, but no matter how arrogant he is, he will not feel that the famous Tang Army in the world will be easily scared by him.
At this moment, Xiong Gu had realized something abnormal and noticed something was wrong, but everything was too late. He had already reached the camp gate. The Tubo soldiers outside rushed over like a tide, and they could not hold it back. Xiong Gu could not, so he could only rush into the Tang army camp with his teeth.
Xiong Gu came in with a lucky mentality, but just as Xiong Gu entered the Tang Army camp, Xiong Gu already knew the result. Under the night, the Tang Army camp was pitch black, and under this darkness, there were black and heavily armed Tang soldiers standing in front of Xiong Gu.
Obviously, he had prepared for the night attack on the Tang army tonight, and the male bone fell into the trap of the Tang army.
Looking at the Tang army in front of him, Xiong Gu knew it was hard to defeat, so he turned his head and wanted to run away, but since he was trapped, how could Tang Jun give him a chance to escape?
Just as the Xionggu army entered the camp, tens of thousands of Tang troops on both sides of the camp also surrounded Xionggu and attacked him from the front and back, surrounding Xionggu and more than 10,000 soldiers under his command.
"Master, we have fallen into the trap." Mi Zun leaned against Xiong Gu and told Xiong Gu.
Xionggu looked at the Tang army that was several times higher than himself in front of him and gritted his teeth and said, "The Tang army knew that we would come to the camp tonight and had prepared for it. Now I am afraid that it will be difficult for Gechuan Post."
Li Ke's purpose is naturally not just a male bone. Li Ke's biggest purpose is Gechuan Post. Now that the male bone is trapped here, the Gechuan Post will naturally not be spared.
