Volume 3 Chapter 76 The Secret of the Yak Army

After the demonstration, the commander ordered the herd to be brought down.

Then he strode to the Shuai Tai with a serious expression, and said: "General Zia, after the drill, you can go out to meet the enemy at any time." ”

"Good!"

General Zia was also very happy, and he was now more and more suspicious that Crick was in fact Socrates, and that the wise man could not have died so easily. When the war is over, be sure to have a good talk with him.

"There is one more thing to tell you at the end. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

The commander recounted how Nock made trouble, how he made a bet with Crick, and what should happen before and after. General Zia had long heard that Nock was misbehaving, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "The Athenian soldiers are trustworthy, and they allowed the beaten sergeant to cut off his tongue with his own hands." ”

"Yes!" the sergeant snorted angrily, drew the dagger he had with him, and with his two companions, he was about to drag Nock out to carry out the order.

Nock was already frightened and weak, and quickly fell to his knees and pleaded.

"Get up, you spineless spineless bone. You have lost all the glory of the Athenian soldiers!" General Zia snapped.

In this way, the sergeant dragged Nock out like a dead dog, and cut off his tongue as agreed.

After the drill, General Zia ordered his men to find Creek, hoping to worship him as a general and serve Athens. But when the herald arrived at the inn where Creek was staying, he learned that Creek had long since disappeared. In this way, Crick did not collect money, did not covet merit, and after giving advice to Athens, he retired and hid in the shadows.

The Ottoman army had now been assembled, and 200,000 troops surrounded the city of Athens and cut off all contact with the outside world.

The attitude of the Ottoman army was very arrogant, and he thought that Athens would not fight, but he never thought that General Zia would pick up the brush and write four big words on the petition - the decisive battle in Japan.

The next day, Athens gathered 3,000 men and sent troops to fight. General Zia and Princess Emosis marched side by side, their armies neat and solemn, their armor bright.

But compared to the Ottoman army, it seems to be a little alone.

Suleiman the Magnificent brought out 30,000 horses today, all of them strong soldiers, in order to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, give Athens a dismount, and use the momentum to overwhelm the enemy.

Suleiman the Magnificent stood in front of the battle, looked in the direction of the enemy army, and wondered in his heart, but saw that the left and right sides of the enemy army were covered with shields and door flags, and the whole Athenian army was not noisy, and there was no sound of war drums or trumpets, and the deathly silence was very strange, and the atmosphere was very strange, not at all like a war.

The Bursa military division frowned, and he reminded Suleiman: "Your Majesty, the Athenian army is very strange today, I don't know what kind of trick it is using, or do you temporarily withdraw the troops, and after the investigation is clear, we will fight with it, what do you think?"

"Uhhahahaha, the military advisor is really suspicious, the Athenian army is less than 10,000 people in total, even if there is any strategy, I think it is just playing tricks. Suleiman smirked.

Bursa saw that what the coach said made sense, so they no longer insisted.

The two armies fought and should have sent each other generals to duel in front of the army, but today no one in Athens came out to duel.

The Ottoman generals were in high spirits and swaggering, believing that their prestige had stunned the enemy.

There was a stalemate for a while, and both sides felt bored, just one person walking back and forth in front of the formation, like a clown jumping off the beam.

Seeing that the enemy army was unfrozen, Suleiman the Magnificent laughed and ordered to charge the enemy line.

With the commander and general, everyone shouted in unison and rushed towards the Athenian army. But even then, Athens did not react, just quietly waited for the arrival of the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy army was not far away, the princess told General Zia: "You can send out the yak army." ”

General Zia nodded, waved the command flag, and said, "The yak army is ready." ”

I saw that the shield bearer removed the shield, and the door flag parted on both sides, revealing the three hundred wild yaks. The reason why the whole army is silent is because the yak is afraid of the sound, and the sound of gongs and drums will make the cattle go crazy, which will reveal the combat intent, and it may not be possible to wipe out the enemy army.

Now that the Ottomans had finally rushed over, the whole army was very excited, knowing that victory was at hand. The cows were also very happy, and it was really intimate to see the delicious food running in front of their eyes.

Boss Niu mooed and ordered: "Brothers, it's time to eat, those who run fast will have forage to eat, and those who run slowly will not be able to eat." ”

The herd understood this and rushed towards the enemy like crazy. The Ottoman army has been practicing all year round, and it is impossible not to be an elite general, but he has never seen such a formation, and he panicked all of a sudden. Hurriedly ran backwards. The army behind did not know that the front had encountered the onslaught of the yak army, and continued to run forward according to the orders of Suleiman the Magnificent. The two clashed, and all of a sudden they were in chaos.

The yak army had already rushed to the front, skillfully picking open the belly of the Ottoman sergeant in search of fodder with its horns, but not today.

The cows didn't know that this time it was not a straw man, but a real person, and wondered why there was no forage?

They were just diligent, one by one, slicing open the bellies of the Ottoman sergeants, wanting to eat. There is a good saying: a road runs to the dark. It's a fitting way to describe a herd.

After that, the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed, and the Ottoman army itself was caught off guard by surprise, and the Ottoman army itself died countless soldiers due to the crowding and stampede, and the Athenian army followed behind the yak army to cover up, and the Ottoman army lost its ability to resist and had to flee in the wilderness.

Suleiman the Magnificent kept waving the banner of handsomeness, trying to stabilize the army, but the army was defeated, and by this time he could not do anything even as the commander-in-chief.

Under the protection of his men, he fled back to the camp. Then he ordered someone to fire his bow and arrows, which stopped the footsteps of the yak army and the Athenian soldiers.

General Zia did not pursue deeply, and ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the city.

Suleiman the Magnificent checked the losses, and more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded in the battle today, which made him very angry, since the army was sent to Athens, it was not going well, and until now Athens has not been taken, but it has lost more than 20,000 people.

In that era of cold weapons, people were the greatest combat power, much more important than cities and territories.

Suleiman the Magnificent convened a meeting in the army to give everyone advice. Everyone looked at each other, but they had never seen the yak army, and no one knew how Athens made the yaks obedient.

Seeing that his subordinates were so wasteful, Suleiman was furious: "Rice buckets, a group of rice buckets, are all useless waste!"

Everyone kept their heads down and said nothing.

Only the military advisor Bursa was still calm, and after listening to the marshal's temper, he said: "Marshal, I know how Athens trained the yak army. ”

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Bursa, thinking that the military division was really a military division, and it was powerful.

Bursa continued: "I heard that during the Second Middle-earth War, the god of war in Kyushu used this yak formation, and it was passed down as a good story to win more with less, and I originally thought it was just a story, but I didn't expect that someone in Athens actually trained into a yak army. ”

When Suleiman the Magnificent heard this, he sat down in his chair with a puff, let out a long breath, and muttered in a low voice: "I thought that Athens without Hannibal and Socrates would be like a piece of fat without an owner, but now it seems that this is not the case." ”

Bursa smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and besides, I have a way to break this formation." ”

"Oh?" said Suleiman the Magnificent, who was interested in hearing this, "What advice did the military advisor teach me?"

"Hehe, just like this, like this, the yak army can be broken. ”

Suleiman laughed when he heard this, and said, "Clever plan, wonderful plan!"

After the defeat of Suleiman the Magnificent in Athens, the Ottoman army did not make any movement for three days, and the Kia general was very satisfied, as long as there were these 300 yaks, the enemy army could not take advantage.

Unexpectedly, on the morning of the fourth day, the Ottoman army came to fight again. General Zia did not know what the enemy's idea was, and led the yak army out of the city to meet the enemy.

As last time, the Yak Army still achieved good results, but in the Ottoman army there were 1,000 straw figures dressed in the same clothes as the soldiers, the kind used by the Yak Army for training.

The yak smelled the smell of forage, slashed open the strawman's belly with its horns, and ate it in a big gulp. But the herd soon became abnormal.

The cattle fell down and died. Although he did not know who gave Athens the idea, he knew that the reason why the yaks would only attack the Ottoman army was because the yak army was trained with straw men wearing Ottoman army clothes.

In fact, the yak attack on the Ottoman army was not caused by some evil magic, but it just seemed that the Athenian army could control the beasts.

Bursa prepared a thousand straw men in advance, and rushed to make poison overnight, stuffed it into the stomach of the straw men at the same time as the forage, and when everything was ready, it sent troops to fight again today.

It's a pity that these 300 wild yaks all died under the poison.

General Zia saw that something was wrong, and in order to avoid losses, he quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops. The Ottomans then covered up, but the Athenians had already returned to the city.

The Ottomans did not pursue either, and collected their troops back to the camp.

From then on, the Ottoman army began the siege phase, and Athens fell into a passive position due to insufficient troops.

The Ottoman army did not dare to attack rashly, and the two sides entered a stalemate stage.
