Although the Western Turkic general said it lightly, he was very cautious in his actions, and although it had been proved that Li Muyun had only brought 20,000 troops, he still sent 50,000 cavalry. 50,000 against 20,000, and the Tang army even had 10,000 infantry troops, and it was almost impossible to think about it to know what the result would be.
While Ju Wentai was discussing countermeasures with the Western Turkic generals, the vanguard of the 20,000 Tang Army was doing the work of engineers.
The barracks of 20,000 men were dug up in a mess, and nearly 10,000 earth mines were buried in the earth, covered with wooden planks, and some earth was used to cover them as the best camouflage.
In fact, these are all a big gift prepared by Li Muyun to those Gaochang cavalry, the distance of fifty miles is exactly within the surprise distance of the cavalry, if the guy leading the army on the other side has a little common sense, he will definitely send troops to attack.
After all, the Tang army has been running for a day, and it must be exhausting for the foot soldiers, and this is a good opportunity to attack.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Gaochang army does not attack at night, there will be no loss to the Tang army, and it is a big deal to wait until tomorrow to make some effort to lure the enemy over.
Li Dejian was busy commanding, and his task was very heavy, because he had to ensure that all these land mines could be blown up, so the location of each buried mine and how to arrange the fuses were the key points.
And Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang dispersed with the cavalry early, ambushed on both sides of the camp, and only waited for the enemy to steal the camp and be blown up, and then attacked in one fell swoop.
"Hey, who's that, go, tell the fire head army, make more fires."
"Hey, you, you go find some people to set up more tents, and you know that if you don't have a horse circle, you can pretend to be a little like it."
"Dejian, don't patronize the front, depth, Lao Tzu wants depth, what are you doing piling up mines together, protecting a large area, and the front and back must be taken care of."
"Is there any news from Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang to send someone to tell them that all the enemy's spies have been destroyed by Lao Tzu, and if they know that it is not right, it means not to stay, in addition, let them not make a fire."
"Just endure what is cold, if it really doesn't work, the toad jumps on the spot, in short, you can't make a fire."
Li Muyun was staggering around the camp, watching the foot soldiers selling mines there, and at the same time caring about the camouflage of the camp, like a headless fly.
I have long known that leading troops is not a good errand, and the original 10,000 people have already made him big enough, but now there are 20,000, and there is an ambush, which is even more head-catching.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye the sky was already dark, the sky was full of stars, the campfire in the camp was connected together, and the stars in the sky reflected each other, and from time to time there were bursts of wild beasts roaring in the distance, which showed even more desolate beauty.
For thousands of years, countless creatures have multiplied on this land, abiding by the rule of the jungle.
Li Muyun was lying on a high ground, enjoying a moment of tranquility, he was tired of fighting and killing in the previous life, and he wanted to be more relaxed in this life, but he didn't expect that it would inevitably end up fighting, and compared with the past, it was much more serious.
In the past, he only needed to be responsible for himself, and the hundred and ten lives under his command could already be regarded as cold-blooded.
Now he is responsible for his 20,000 men, and he doesn't know how many enemies there are, but it is undeniable that in the next twelve hours, countless lives will end because of one of his orders.
Thinking about it, Li Muyun couldn't help but jump up and scold: "What's the matter, why are you so full of food, support?"
"Uh, Muyun, what's wrong with you" Li Dejian was walking up the high ground with two personal guards, and was startled by Li Muyun's aggressive behavior.
"You say, why are we fighting to the death like this, how many brothers will lie here," Li Muyun stared at Li Dejian and asked.
"I don't know, it's basically to protect the family and defend the country, isn't this what we are soldiers, we can't watch the Gaochang people kill us."
Li Dejian sighed and waved his hand to drive the two guards away.
Li Muyun didn't speak and sat back on the ground.
Of course, he knew that this was to protect his family and defend the country, and he also knew that the territory was sacred, but it was clear that everyone was a family, and after a few years, there would be no Gaochang at all, no Tuyuhun, and no Tubo and Western Turks.
In other words, they are actually doing useless work in life and death now, and sooner or later one day the country will be unified and will become a whole.
Beep the dog, I really don't know if it's for a hair, isn't it good to be a beautiful man quietly "Woo" Just when Li Muyun was thinking about his thoughts in a daze, there was a faint sound of horns in the distance.
"What's going on" In the blink of an eye, Li Muyun had already put aside all the emotions just now, and a spirit jumped up.
"It's the Gaochang people, and the Gaochang people are attacking us."
The answer to Li Muyun was a scout horse with crooked armor, who should have just escaped from the Western Turks.
"Then what are you waiting for, go down and prepare for war" When Li Muyun shouted these words, the sound of horses' hooves had already reached his ears, and he couldn't think about it much, and at the sound of an order, some soldiers had already begun to set fire to the camp, and some people picked up two straw men and ran, and the entire Tang Army camp was in chaos in an instant.
"Hahaha, the Tang army is in chaos, kill, kill Lao Tzu."
The generals of the Western Turks saw the fire in the Tang army camp from a distance, laughed excitedly, and the scimitar in his hand almost danced into a propeller.
One by one, his men screamed and rushed upward, and from time to time they would put two arrows, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
In an instant, the camp of the Tang army was even more chaotic, screaming, crying, and screaming.
The guys with the straw men on their backs ran and barked, and every now and then they had to throw away a straw man.
Still others are responsible for setting fires, stepping over a fire or knocking over a brazier after a few steps.
Fake, so fake, who has ever seen kicking a fire without getting hurt And the screaming should be good, especially laughing and shouting what's going on, if it goes on like this, sooner or later you have to get a boxed lunch.
Li Muyun was already disappointed in these subordinates he brought, and he planned to put on a good show, but as a result, these guys were more amateur than the other, and now he could only hope that those Gao Chang troops could enter the camp quickly, and when the time came, they would mine a little bit and then blow them up.
The sound of "boom" horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and by the light of the fire, it could already be seen that the vanguard of the Gaochang army had crossed the horse rejection pile outside the camp.
Li Muyun had to remind his subordinates: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, are you so stupid, don't patronize and run." ”:
