Accompanied by the night wind, teams of Turkic cavalry urged their horses toward the dark night and ran hard. Rainbow*Wen ¥本本%iHongWee
The reason why Liu Shan dispatched these Turkic cavalry at this time was to give the enemy a counter-raid, and did not dispatch the main force of the Liangzhou Army and the Hebei Army because Liu Shan not only had to raid at night, but also let the enemy know what the raid was.
The Liangzhou Army and Hebei Army were not dispatched, but Liu Shan asked these troops to follow the Turkic cavalry. To be precise, if the war broke out, these troops would take action. This was the first time that the Liangzhou Army was used as a second-line army. This was because the Liangzhou Army was composed of Han people, and it was not suitable to launch surprise attacks in the Western Turkic camp.
In itself, Liu Shan’s camp and the Western Turkic camp were not very far away. When Princess Yicheng arranged the Liangzhou Army’s camp, she deliberately took the Liangzhou Army’s camp as far as possible, just to the frontier camp of the Western Turkic camp.
Therefore, at about 4 a.m., camps appeared in front of the Turkic cavalry. The reason why I saw these camps at this time was not because the sky was not dark or the magical white fish appeared in the east, but because the Western Turks lit a bonfire in the camp after launching the raided army, waiting for news of the army's raid.
Just when the Turkic cavalry appeared not far from the Western Turkic camp, the sentries patrolling in the Western Turkic camp had already appeared in the dark cavalry. Although the sky was dark, with the faint light of fire, the sentries still saw the dark cavalry coming.
Suddenly, the sentries cheered, and they shouted that our people were back and our people were back. Then some sentries hurriedly rode their horses to the camp and reported the good news to the waiting Western Turkic nobles.
At this time, the Turkish cavalry had quickly approached the camp, and the sentry responsible for patrol could see the costumes and colors of the horses. When they confirmed that they were the Turkish cavalry, another wild cheer sounded. With the cheers, several cavalry teams had already run out of the Western Turkic camp. These were the Western Turkic nobles who were waiting for the Western Turkic nobles came to greet their teams with their guards.
"We have successfully raided." Seeing the welcoming team, someone in Liu Shan's Turkic army had already started shouting. With the sound of shouting that had pressed over the horse's hooves, there was another shocking cheer in the Western Turkic team opposite, and cavalry were already running towards the team that they returned from the opposite side.
The reason why the situation at this time is not too strange.
Although the East and West Turks have split, many traditional things have not changed, like weapons, clothing, like horse riding postures, like headdresses on their heads.
In fact, if people from the East and West Turks are put together, and no one points out what they don’t say, no one can tell which Turks they are. After all, it is difficult for Turks to tell what the difference between the East and West Turks are.
As the army of the East and West Turks, although the Turkic Empire had been divided for many years, the armies of the two Turkic countries were not much different, which led to the situation where Liu Shan could use his Turkic army to impersonate the Western Turkic army at this time.
As for language, there is no need to worry at all. The languages of the two Turks are exactly the same. This is just like the relationship between the Li Tang and the King of Zheng or the King of Xia. Although the people and the soldiers belong to several countries, they are actually speaking Chinese and have no other languages.
Seeing the cavalry coming, some of Liu Shan's Turkic cavalry hurriedly urged the horses to meet them. When the two armies successfully met, there was another shocking cheer in front of the Western Turkic camp.
The cheers were even clear enough for the Liangzhou Army and Hebei Army soldiers who were several miles away. Several generals from the Liangzhou Army and Hebei Army couldn't help laughing when they heard the cheers. Liu Shan stayed with them, but there was no expression on his face.
His Turkic Legion has successfully joined the enemy, but this is just the beginning, and the matter behind is the most critical. You should know that although his Turkic Legion will never have any problems in terms of clothing language, the enemy's army has not been in the Western Turkic camp for a day or two. There must be many people who know them in the army.
Liu Shan was not afraid that they would be seen by the Western Turks. In fact, when he was about to use this strategy, Liu Shan knew that they would definitely be seen. As long as Liu Shan was discovered, they had already entered the Western Turks camp, and that would be enough. At that time, the 50,000 Liu Shan Turkic corps would scatter from the inside. In the dark, as long as the Western Turks camp was disrupted and his main force rushed over from the outside, and at that time, attacked on both sides, there would be hope for this battle.
At this time, in the Western Turkic camp, excited shouts and laughter had already submerged the entire military camp. When they learned that their army had successfully returned, the Western Turkic soldiers in the camp ran out of the camp. They did not even change into armor, even brought weapons, and even had no horses to ride, and had already rushed towards the returning soldiers.
The camp gate of the Western Turks had been wide open, and rows of guarded cavalry quickly made way. Liu Shan's Turkic legion rushed into the camp of the Western Turks from the way out. In front of them, in the light of fire, there were scattered Western Turkic soldiers running towards them.
"Wutuo, Wutuo, where are you?" Looking at the return of his army, someone began to shout out in the crowd.
Although the raid was a victory at this time, how could there be no death in the war? Even if it is victorious, many people will definitely die. It is not impossible for an army with zero casualties in the battle, but it is almost equivalent to a myth. Moreover, a melee of tens of thousands of people is almost impossible.
Therefore, Western Turkic soldiers who were familiar with the raided army have already been searching in the crowd, and searching is definitely the most ineffective. After all, it was not dawn yet, and it was the darkest time before dawn. Although the fire could illuminate, it was not yet at the point where everyone's face could be illuminated. Therefore, shouting is undoubtedly the most effective method at this time.
However, there were too many people calling out at this time. After all, the army of 50,000 people who were familiar with them, or who were just brothers, cousins, fathers and sons, were eager to call out, and thousands of voices were mixed together, so it would be strange if they were not disturbed.
Taking advantage of this time, Liu Shan's army quickly separated and rushed into the crowd...
