    On the back of a low hill only thirty miles east of the Turkic army camp, there were no less than 40,000 Zhao army cavalry and three cavalry units gathered here.  There are continuous military camps here, flags are flying, and there is a lively scene of people shouting and horses neighing. In the largest tent in the middle of the military camp, several generals wearing Zhao Army armor gathered together.

    The leader, a burly man, was crouching in front of the sand table on the central round table, looking at the map carefully, and at the same time checking the deployment of the Turkic army with the general around him.

    "General, there is news from Landu City!" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the voice of the guard rang.

    "Come in quickly!" The burly man who was looking at the sand table responded without raising his head.

    The curtain opened, and a guard hurried in and handed the thin bamboo tube in his hand to the strong man.  The strong man quickly took it and carefully opened the seal. After taking a closer look, a touch of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

    ¡°General, is there any news from my lord?¡± In the tent, a slightly swarthy man asked anxiously.  The other dozen or so generals, whether they were Han Chinese or Turks, all looked at the leading man, waiting for his answer.

    These people are none other than Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry team that has been lingering outside Landu City.  The big man leading the army was none other than Li Chenfeng, the general of the Zhao army.  Because in the battle to defend the city, the cavalry was trapped in the city and could not function at all.  After all, cavalry can only achieve maximum effectiveness by relying on war horses.  Therefore, after Zhao Xun's last great victory, he learned that Xue Nie Khan's army was attacking, so he merged some of the cavalry left in the city with the cavalry outside the city, and stationed outside the city, waiting for the opportunity.

    "Haha let me tell you some good news. This evening, our army defeated the Turkic army's siege team. Due to the appearance of the thunder, the Turkic army was not only unable to fight at night, but also the whole army was afraid. Therefore, in order to prevent the Turkic army from evacuating tomorrow  "My lord has ordered us to take action tonight, launch a night attack on the Turkic army camp, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." Li Chenfeng, the general of the town army, straightened up and said to the others with a smile.

    "Really, that's great. We've been waiting for many days. I'm so frustrated that I can finally take action today." Captain Tang Niu said with a smile.

    Li Chenfeng said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, sit down and let's discuss it carefully. Although we can act, although we have a great advantage, we should be prepared and unprepared, and wait for work. But don't forget  , the Turkic army outside Landu City arrived at 200,000 people. In addition to the 40,000 to 50,000 slaves recruited in the previous two days, the total number of troops outside the city was 250,000. This battle must be fought.  To win, there must be no surprises. Therefore, be sure to be prepared and don¡¯t be careless.¡±

    "Yes, General!" Everyone responded in unison.

    Li Chenfeng said again: "Feng Yu, you are responsible for the detailed information on the attack and defense of Landu City. What is the general situation of the Turkic army outside Landu City now? Let me tell you in detail."

    A lean man stood up, saluted Li Chenfeng, and said: "For several days, the Turkic army has been attacking day and night, but they do not have the advantage of geographical location, armor and equipment, and they have no siege equipment. Therefore,  , In the past few days, the Turkic army has suffered heavy casualties. Now, the Turkic army has no more than 100,000 capable soldiers, and some of them are wounded, and including slaves, they only number 112,000.  "

    "In addition, they have been attacking continuously day and night for three days. Therefore, the entire Turkic army is exhausted. Especially in today's battle, the appearance of our army's thunderous thunder suddenly reduced the morale of the Turkic army.  , fell to the bottom in an instant, and the fatigue of many days broke out, so tonight the Turkic army must be sleeping like a pig. "

    "In addition, the Turkic army has a weakness, that is, they are not good at setting up camps. Their barracks are not as tight as our Zhao army in the wild. Moreover, my subordinates once sent people to observe that they have almost no defense, only a short one  The only wooden fences they have are some patrols and rangers. However, they are guarding Landu City in the south, so the defenses on the left and right sides are not very tight. In the past few days, the left and right sides have not been very tight.  There is no presence of our troops, so they have almost no defense on the left and right. In addition, the Turkic army has been attacking the city day and night for the past two days, and they are even more unbearable at this moment."

    "Very good! You have done well. God has blessed me, Zhao! After the war, this general will definitely ask for credit for you!" Li Chenfeng said with a smile. Obviously, he was in a good mood at the moment.

    Looking at the excited generals, Li Chenfeng cleared his throat and said: "This war is related to the peace of the north of our country and the overall situation of our country. It does not need to be important.  I have said more, and you know it in your heart. Therefore, there must be no negligence in this action, and I will not tolerate any negligence. If anyone has a problem, he will go to the Lord with his head.  Please forgive meBar.  "

    The generals' expressions tightened and they all nodded to express their understanding.

    Li Chenfeng continued: "This time Xue Nie Khan of the Turkic Army personally led an army of more than 200,000 people. The attack was menacing and extremely powerful. Our Zhao army and three soldiers are in Landu City.  With all the efforts of the whole clan, the current army is only about 100,000. In addition to the Turkic army's first attack half a month ago, the Turkic army has sent an army of 300,000. The advantage of the two sides is very obvious.  "

    "But what's the result? There are only tens of thousands of our soldiers in Landu City. We first destroyed more than 100,000 enemy forward troops, and then defeated Xue Nie Khan's siege plan. Now, the Turkic army is frightened and retreats to Landu City.  In the camp outside the capital, there are more than 40,000 cavalry troops gathered here. Everyone, we are here to watch the infantry brothers fight hard in Landu City, which is only fifty miles away. Now, it is time to watch them fight fiercely.  It¡¯s time for us to fight.¡±

    "In the Turkic camp, the Turkic army has been depleted to only 120,000 to 30,000. Now the ratio of the strength of the two sides, we are still far inferior to the enemy. However, we have many advantages. We will win this battle!"

    "Xu Feng from Shenji Camp!"

    "The last general is here!" A captain wearing a different color from the other generals came out.

    "The Shenji Battalion is very important for tonight's operation. Are you ready?" Li Chenfeng asked in a loud voice.

    Xu Feng, the captain of the Shenji Battalion, said in a deep voice: "All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are already well prepared and waiting for the general's orders at any time!"

    "Okay!" After hearing Xu Feng's answer, Li Chenfeng applauded and said loudly: "In that case, everything is fine. You go down immediately to gather the soldiers and prepare them to assemble. In addition, all the war horses are under their feet.  Wrap it in cotton cloth to make things easier!¡±

    "Yes, general!" More than a dozen generals stood up and accepted the order.

    A crescent moon hangs in the dim sky, and a wisp of faint black clouds covers the crescent moon in the sky that emits the faint silvery white moonlight, making the entire earth dim slightly.  It seemed that even God was helping Zhao Jun. The night that originally had a sliver of moonlight gradually turned dark. This was a good time to attack the camp.

    As the sky dimmed and time passed, the place where Zhao Jun camped suddenly became extremely busy from silence. Countless torches were lit, illuminating the surrounding area.  The soldiers put on their armor, mounted their horses, and polished the steel knives in their hands. Under the leadership of officers at all levels, they walked out of their resting tents and began to line up in an orderly manner.

    There were no impassioned speeches or pre-battle agitation. Every soldier knew the situation at the moment, the current battle situation in Landu City, and what they were going to do.  Every soldier's eyes are burning with madness and bloodthirsty light. The moment of meritorious deeds is tonight.

    Many of these Zhao soldiers came from Bingzhou.  They were harassed by the Turkic army, and they already hated the incoming Turkic army.  If we can completely defeat the opponent this time, not only can we get revenge, but we can also bring peace to the people of Zhao throughout Xiazhou, Bingzhou, and Dingzhou.

    Among them, the eight thousand heavy armored cavalry are the forwards, and they are the swords that break the camp. They are like an extremely sharp arrow cluster, which plays the role of tearing apart the Turkic army camp and possible interception troops, and the mixed  Among the arrow clusters were a thousand soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion, carrying sky-shaking thunder behind their horses.  Once they join the battle, they will play an inestimable role in conjunction with the heavy armored cavalry.

    Li Chenfeng personally led 30,000 light cavalry. They wore recommended plate armor and only increased protection in some key places.  The impact of these light cavalry is far inferior to that of heavy armored cavalry, but their mobility is far superior.  Except for some of these light cavalry, which are direct descendants of the Zhao army, most of them are warriors from the three tribes.  As we all know, these Turks are very capable of riding and shooting.  They will follow the heavy armored cavalry to expand the results of the battle and drive and annihilate the enemy.

    According to the plan, after the cavalry action, the infantry and young men of Land City and the three acropolis will go out of the city to participate in the battle in order to achieve the greatest effect.  In addition to the hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers who could be captured, what Zhao Xun was even more concerned about was the hundreds of thousands of horses and livestock in the Turkic army camp.  Don¡¯t forget, when the Turkic army attacked, they came on horseback.  However, when they attacked the city, they fought on foot.  Therefore, most of the war horses of the more than 200,000 troops were stored in the camp.

    In addition to war horses, most of the Turkic army's food is livestock.  These livestock only need to move with the army, grazing while providing food for the army.  Zhao Xun is naturally very keen on these things.  To be honest, these war horses and livestock are nothing in the grasslands, and they will not have a very significant role. At most, they are daily needs.  However, for Zhao Di, this is an important factor in improving people's living ability and food production.

    ?Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhao Jun's advance cavalry smoothly sneaked to the right wing of the Turkic Army's camp.  Sure enough, as Tan Ma reported, there were indeed not many Turkic army spies here.  The small number of patrolling soldiers were also quietly killed by Zhao Jun's knights who arrived in advance.

    At the same time, in Landu City and the three acropolis, 60,000 to 70,000 Zhao army soldiers, three warriors and the young men of Landu tribe gathered behind the city gate, waiting for the movement outside the city.

    The hooves of the horses of the Zhao army's cavalry were all wrapped in thick cloth, with pieces in their mouths, and they made only a slight sound along the way.  For fear of being discovered, they moved very slowly, just walking slowly and leisurely.  However, they found that their worries seemed to be unnecessary. The Turkic army did not notice that some of their sentinels were killed, so the journey went very smoothly.

    Looking at the dark Turkish army camp in the distance, Li Chenfeng's eyes flashed with excitement.

    Tonight is the moment when your Turkic army returns in defeat!  In the past, your Turkic army invaded our Yan border many times. Now, it is finally time to change.  Now, our country, Great Zhao, is in charge of the southern Han Dynasty.  And our country, Great Zhao, is not as weak as Great Yan. The situation of your Turkic army invading the border will become history from now on.

    Li Chenfeng took a deep breath of the slightly cool night air, waved his hand suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Tang Niu, the soldiers in front have cleared all the exploration horses. You lead the heavy armored cavalry and charge! Break through the enemy camp.  !¡±

    "Yes, General, I will take your orders!" Tang Niu's face flushed with excitement. He got on his horse and waved his hand. Eight thousand heavy armored soldiers mixed with the Shenji Battalion followed him and rushed forward.

    "Warriors, charge with me! Good man, you will make great achievements today! Shenji camp, light the torch and be ready at any time!" At this time, there is no need to hide. Tang Niu, who is approaching the Turkic army camp, shouts, eight  With a loud "rumbling" sound, like an iron stream, the thousand-heavy armored cavalry rushed towards the Turkic army's camp under his leadership.

    The deafening and violent sound of horse hooves spread far and wide in an instant, and the earth seemed to be shaking slightly.

    "Light cavalry, set off and follow closely! Destroy the enemy now!" Li Chenfeng waved his hand and led more than 35,000 light cavalry to follow the heavy armored cavalry and launched a charge. He said coldly  The order was given: "Set rockets! Burn the enemy camp and send a message to the infantry in Landu City at the same time!"

    The light cavalry who had been prepared for a long time stretched their bows and arrows on their horses, and fired rockets. Countless fiery red tracks streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the surrounding area. The black night sky was torn into pieces, appearing in front of everyone.  In front of us is the sleeping Turkic army camp.

    Outside the camp, there are no earthen walls or trenches, only a short, defenseless fence!

    "Boom, boom" The loud noise that shook the sky instantly made the entire Turkic army camp start to liven up, but what followed was a rain of fire and arrows all over the sky and the cold murderous intention of the heavy armored cavalry.  Many Turkic soldiers ran out of the barracks in panic, but were immediately collided by the Zhao army's heavy armored cavalry and trampled into pulp

    In Landu City, Zhao Xun and others, who had already made preparations, also saw the situation outside the city.

    "My lord, there is a fire in the Turkic army camp. It is General Li who has begun to take action." Zhang Yuanjing said slightly excitedly on the city wall of Landu City.

    "Nangong Hao, you lead the infantry in the city to fight. This time you must wipe out all the Turkic troops outside the city. Remember, the horses and livestock in the Turkic army camp are particularly important. These are our spoils of war. Absolutely not  All those who were driven out and burned by Xue Nie Khan must be accepted," Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.

    "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely complete the mission!" Nangong Hao said with excitement.  After being suppressed and beaten by the Turkic army for many days, we are finally about to stand up.

    "Boom, boom" Several violent explosions rang out from the Turkic army camp, immediately blowing the hundreds of Turkic troops that had just crowded into pieces into pieces, and completely repelling the surrounding night patrol soldiers who were preparing to intercept.  This time, the only army in the Turkic army camp that had not rested and could still fight was defeated in fighting spirit.  Regarding Zhentian Lei, the Turkic army was already afraid to the bottom of their hearts.

    "Come here! What's going on outside?" Xue Nie Khan, who had just been awakened, suddenly shouted sharply.  He was originally unhappy because of the war, but now he was woken up from his sleep. How could he be in a good mood?

    "Report tothe Great Khan, something bad has happened, ZhaoZhao's army is attacking the camp!" A soldier rushed in from outside the tent and shouted in panic.

    "What did you say? Attack the camp? Zhao Jun? Now?" Xue Nie Khan's face suddenly changed and he asked urgently.  Obviously, he hasn't figured it out yet, Zhao Jun has already reached the camp, "What's going on? Tell me clearly? Who is resisting?"

    "I don't know howWhat's going on, Khan, suddenly the Zhao army came to the camp.  The Zhao soldiers and horses who attacked the camp came in from the right side of the camp, and there was no defense in the camp.  Now the camp is full of enemy cavalry, and the Zhao army is equipped with the same kind of weapons as yesterday evening. The soldiers have no focus on the area" The soldier didn't know what was going on, but the noisy camp and the  The fires that appeared everywhere made him panic, and he hurriedly told the news he had received.

    At this moment, Xue Nie Khan finally heard the rumble of horse hooves and the deafening explosions outside the tent.  At this time, he finally understood that Zhao Jun had already reached the camp.  Immediately, Xue Nie Khan jumped up suddenly, grabbed the golden knife beside him and opened the tent.  I saw that in the dark night, the entire camp was in complete chaos. There were fires everywhere, and disheveled soldiers were constantly running around.

    What made Xue Nie Khan's heart bleed was that no one of his own soldiers in the camp was in the area at all, and they were all running away.  But now it seems that the left and rear sides of the entire camp have become a sea of ??fire, and Zhao Jun is bypassing the Chinese camp to attack the left side.

    "No! Damn it!" Xue Nie Khan immediately yelled angrily. If the left side is attacked by the Zhao army, then everything except the south will be dead.  In the south, there is Landu City, which is naturally impossible to survive.  He even believed that Landu City would definitely send infantry to attack.

    "How could this happen? Damn it! Everyone on duty tonight must die!" Xue Nie Khan screamed sternly.  He knew that his plan to attack Landu City was a complete failure. In fact, he would be completely defeated in this battle.  Now, he deeply resented the officer on duty tonight for causing this situation.
