Facing the enemy Tang army coming from both sides, they immediately formed a small square team of 10 people.
The two people in the middle are responsible for commanding left and right, and also throw grenades.
The people on the periphery either hold muskets or crossbows. If the distance is far, they will use muskets to greet them, and if they come closer, they will rely on crossbows. This combat method has been verified on the battlefield. With such a small team of 10 people, the enemy cannot get close even if they have 10 times more people than us.
"Quickly retreat! Who told you to stand in a defensive posture? Get out now!"
Just when one squad was ready to fight to the death, their general came on horseback from behind and immediately ordered to withdraw the three squads. They were the most powerful ones near the camp gate, and the rest of the people were still sleeping. If they retreated, wouldn't the Vietnamese rush in soon?
"How can this be possible, General? We can stop it."
The veterans thought that the general was concerned about their lives. They had traveled a lot and of course knew what the situation was. Don't look at the large number of Vietnamese coming. As long as they can hold on for a moment, the army behind them will come to support them immediately. The weapons and equipment in their hands are enough to fight for half an hour.
"Stop talking nonsense. The superiors have ordered us to retreat immediately."
The general in charge immediately ordered them to withdraw these people, and they knew that the superiors had an idea. Although they also wanted to resist here hard, since the superiors had an idea, they just followed and retreated.
When the general was retreating, he suddenly took out the fire starter from his pocket and set fire to the two tents at the camp entrance.
The soldiers understood what was going on. This was to create the illusion of a rout, surely to lure the enemy deeper into their territory. However, the combined forces on both sides numbered no more than three or four thousand. Was it really necessary to lure them deeper into their territory? If only a thousand or more of our men could stand up, we could beat them to the ground.
However, the soldiers must absolutely trust their generals on the battlefield. This is also what they were taught in their daily lives. So they did not say anything about the general's actions. Instead, they used the rags they did not use on their bodies to continue to set fire to the surrounding tents, creating the illusion that we were defeated.
The army responsible for the sneak attack was actually unsure. After all, they had long known that the Tang Dynasty army was invincible, and many capable armies around them had been defeated by the Tang Dynasty army. Although these thousands of people were the absolute elite of the Vietnamese army, there was still a big gap compared to the prestigious Tang Dynasty army.
When we first came into contact, dozens of Vietnamese soldiers fell down. Their muskets were so powerful. There were only two Tang soldiers inside the railings, but they killed five or six of us with just two shots, and the bullets were flying everywhere.
Some people were clearly holding shields in their hands, but the shields did not have much power. The flying bullets actually penetrated the shields and could then cause great damage to people.
Just when they wanted to retreat, the Tang army in front of them ran back, and there was a fire at the camp gate. Could it be that our friendly troops had arrived?
The general leading the Vietnamese army saw this rare opportunity. There were no defenders at the gate of the Tang army camp. The surrounding tents were already burning. If they didn't go in and kill them at this time, it would be a shame to have the sword in their hand. What's more, the general on the city wall also saw this scene. When we go in and kill them all, the general will also come out of the city with his troops. By then, we will cooperate inside and outside and will definitely cause huge losses to the Tang army. Let's see if they still want to occupy Vietnam.
"General, there's no one in this tent..."
It was normal that one or two tents were empty when they first came in, after all, the Tang army had retreated. But they had already found that not only were there no people in more than a dozen tents, but even some miscellaneous items had been moved away.
"These Tang Dynasty troops are just undeserved reputations. After seeing us, they couldn't stop their fleeing steps and continued to kill us."
The general was also overwhelmed by this victory. Instead of letting his men stop temporarily, he added fuel to the fire. After seeing this scene, his men ignored everything else. The front was full of chaotic Tang Dynasty soldiers, which represented their military achievements.
All of this could be seen clearly from the city wall. The two armies ran out from the mountains and forests on both sides, and then caused a huge disaster to the north of the Tang army camp. Even the thick smoke had covered the entire Tang army camp. Wu Yuanhao had not expected that the strategy he casually mentioned could actually bring such losses to the Tang army.
"The right army continues to defend, and the left army follows me to attack..."
Wu Yuanhao's army was divided into two parts. The left army was mainly composed of cavalry. For a small country like theirs, it was quite difficult to gather 10,000 cavalry, and these special troops were not even wearing armor.
If he doesn't go out to attack in this situation, then the advantage he has created will not be expanded. What's more, the thousands of people behind him still need him to rescue. As long as he goes out to rush into the sand for a while to rescue the people he sent to attack, then today's work will be done, and the results of this battle will at least cost thousands of people. Think about it, how many so-called famous generals in the entire Indochina Peninsula can reach his level?
All the soldiers on the city wall were also in high spirits. Although they were asked to stay and continue to defend the city wall, they began to wave flags and cheer for their brothers. Many people even began to celebrate the victory. In their opinion, the Tang army was nothing special. Yesterday, we were all fooled by them. In fact, their combat effectiveness was not that good. Isn't it confirmed now?
When Wu Yuanhao rushed out with his men, several shells fell around him. This guy sneered and said, "Even your artillery can't fire in unison. It seems that the whole military camp is in chaos."
"Brothers, follow me and charge forward. The Tang soldiers are just like us, made of flesh and blood. When your swords pierce their bones, let them know how powerful we, the Vietnamese, are..."
