Chapter 2221 Attacking the Camp
In a desolate land, a huge team was marching. Under the scorching sun, everyone was sweating profusely.
It's already autumn and the weather should be cooler, but it's still hot during the day.
"Chief Zhao, let's take a break. We have been traveling for several hours."
The three leaders rode their horses to Zhao Tiejun's horse.
"No, we have only walked less than fifty miles. If there are pursuers, they will catch up with us quickly."
Zhao Tiejun shook his head.
"Captain Zhao, you see those laborers can't even walk anymore. Even if you don't care about the people, you still have to care about the horses.
And even if there are pursuers, they have to go to the workshop first, and they won't be able to catch up with us in a short time.
We have both changed directions several times.”
A leader pointed at the convoy ahead and advised.
Zhao Tiejun hesitated for a moment, then jumped off his horse, walked to a hill nearby and looked into the distance.
"There is a hill ahead. Let's rest there."
Walking down the hillside, Zhao Tiejun pointed forward.
The three of them nodded in agreement immediately.
"I'll go inform Chief Ma." A chief rode away.
Since the unpleasant incident in the evening, the horse leader has not spoken a word to them.
"Don't worry, Chief Zhao. You see, the terrain here is complicated, with earth mounds everywhere. If you don't get close, you won't be able to find us.
We have been walking all night, and the officials will definitely not be able to find us."
Seeing Zhao Tiejun being so cautious, the leaders felt that it was a bit too much.
"Maybe Mr. Zhao is worrying too much." Zhao Tiejun nodded.
The team walked for another half an hour before arriving at the foot of the hill that Zhao Tiejun mentioned. There were hills on both sides.
"Give the order to everyone to rest and find a water source. Give the craftsmen some water and food. We still have a long way to go."
Zhao Tiejun shouted, and his team found a shady place to stop.
More than a hundred men took out buckets and rode on horses to find water.
The other leaders also followed suit and gave orders to rest, sending people to fetch water.
There were tens of thousands of civilians captured by the rebels, and the water they brought was not enough. Even if they went to find water,
Hundreds of people were sent out, and Chief Ma sent out even two hundred people, otherwise the water they brought back would not be enough to drink.
"Chief Zhao, I wonder how far we are from our destination."
During the break, several leaders gathered together, and this time even Leader Ma came along.
Zhao Tiejun took out the map and looked at it.
"It's estimated to be three days away."
It took them three or four days of riding on horseback to get here. Although they didn't need to go to the northernmost part this time, the distance was not close.
"Everyone, we have made a great harvest this time, so for the sake of safety, we should not complain about the hard work. As long as we get to the destination, we will be safe."
Zhao Tiejun encouraged everyone.
"Yes, that's right. The harvest this time is enough for us to grow and develop."
When talking about the harvest, everyone became excited.
Soon all the people who had gone out of the tribe came back with water and distributed food.
Both the rebels and the civilians were extremely hungry and thirsty, so they immediately started eating the food and water.
After resting, most of them continued their journey.
Three days later, Zhao Tiejun finally led the group to their destination, which was a valley with a river not far away.
It is hundreds of miles away from their original base, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by other rebels.
Several leaders were very satisfied with this place. It was very hidden and few people would find it.
It took a day to settle down. At the suggestion of Zhao Tiejun, the captured people were asked to build a warehouse with stones and mud.
They also sent their men out to look for food. In the eyes of several leaders, everything was moving in a good direction.
But they didn't know that danger was about to come.
~~~~~~~
Late at night, a team was moving slowly forward.
"General Xue, the rebels' gathering place is ten miles ahead."
A member of the Li Jian team next to Xue Rengui reported.
"Has Zhao Tiejun arranged everything?" Xue Rengui asked.
"General Xue, rest assured. Captain Zhao has made all the arrangements. The rebels in the team are all our own people. Those who are unwilling to surrender have been dealt with."
The Blade team members nodded immediately.
"That's good." Xue Rengui was very satisfied and gave an order to the messenger beside him:
"Order them to speed up and launch the attack before daybreak."
"Yes!"
Xue Rengui was still leading the guard battalion this time. Xue Rengui was not there that day as he was guarding the workshop area of Prince Ji's mansion.
When he came back the next day, Li Shen ordered Xue Rengui to take action.
After all, those 10,000 soldiers were still soldiers of the imperial court. They could protect him, but it was not safe for them to do such dirty work and they could not keep secrets.
Only Li Shen’s own team can do it, at least it can be concealed from others.
Although this is also an attempt to cover up the truth, at least there is no substantial evidence.
Along the way, we continued to eliminate the rebel scouts and various hidden stakes.
"Pass the order down. Rest immediately. Launch the attack before dawn. Fight quickly and decisively. Do not harm the civilians. Those who surrender will not be killed. They are still useful."
After arriving at the destination, Xue Rengui gave the order to rest.
“Swoosh~~~~~Bang!”
With a signal flare exploding in the sky, the battle officially began.
The Guards Battalion launched a group charge towards the rebels.
"Kill!" Three thousand people roared and rushed into the enemy camp.
"Enemy attack, Tang army again, Tang army is coming."
The guard at the door immediately sounded the alarm.
They had only just arrived and had not had time to build walls and gates.
"Tang army? Where are the Tang army?" Several leaders rushed out of the tents, their faces changed drastically. How could the Tang army come so quickly?
"Prepare for battle." Leader Ma reacted the fastest. He picked up his weapon, shouted, and jumped on his horse. Several leaders also reacted and began to organize their men to prepare for resistance.
"How many troops are there on the other side?" Zhao Tiejun asked calmly.
"Reporting to the leader, there are estimated to be about three thousand people, but it seems that they are well-equipped and should be the elite of the Tang Dynasty." The subordinate reported.
"In my opinion, we should just run away. They are the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty. We are no match for them."
Upon hearing that the other party was an elite force, someone immediately raised an objection, saying that he only had eight or nine hundred people left and had no strength to fight at all.
"No, we still have 4,000 to 5,000 people here, and we still have the strength to fight. We have finally got so many supplies, don't you want them anymore?"
This proposal was immediately opposed by Chief Ma.
"This..." Several people began to hesitate after hearing this. Naturally, they were reluctant to give up so many supplies.
Good days are coming.
"Why did the Tang army come so quickly, Chief Zhao? Didn't you say that the Tang army wouldn't find us?"
At this time, someone raised a question. The plan was fine and the Tang army would not discover them. How come they had just arrived and hadn't even had time to settle down when they were already attacked?
