Chapter Forty-Six: The Fire Bull Formation Outwits Xuede
On the northern line of Boku, the sky is cloudy and the wind is green.
After receiving Ji Yaoguang's parrot message, Leng Qingtang immediately assembled the army, and led the Celestial Empire army of 150,000 and the army of 30,000 before dawn, a total of 180,000 elite soldiers arrived at the foot of Xuede City.
The sentinels of the Bo army saw the white skyline rolling in the thick dust from afar, like beacon smoke and like a sea of clouds, covering the sky and the sun, which was breathtaking.
Looking at the visual range, they were surprised to find that at the front of the Celestial Empire's army, the neat and distinct square was actually hundreds of buffaloes covered in red and colored, with sharp knives on their horns, which was huge but strange and funny.
The people of Boku on the city tower looked at each other, not knowing what the other party wanted to come to these buffaloes.
Since the enemy army came to attack, he could not control anything else, so the commander ordered to open the city gate immediately to meet the enemy.
Similar to the last time they took the initiative to attack, the Boku men and horses lined up under the city of Xuede, and then the formation shook the mountains, and the elephant array was dispatched, and finally five chariots of the trainer were broken and lined up in three or two rows on both sides of the army formation.
Seeing the strange formation of the Dayi Celestial Empire's army using buffalo as the front wing army, the generals of Boku didn't know why, and they laughed out loud.
The two bold men actually rode their horses and ran in front of the two armies, and danced on horseback, not knowing what to say.
Wei Cao, the hussar general of the Northwest Army, learned through the consultant that the enemy generals were laughing at the soldiers of the Celestial Empire for being herding cattlemen, and he couldn't help but quench himself on the ground and scolded in a low voice:
"Phew, I'll let you taste the power of herding cowherds later!"
At this moment, the war drums were eager, the flags were waving everywhere, and the copper Qin on the five chariots of Boku blew strange syllables, and the sound of frustration was suppressed, all of which sharpened the nerves of the brown elephant.
The brown elephants shook their heads and tails in a hurry, kept flapping their semicircular ears, and their front hooves looked extremely irritable.
Tongqin's syllables changed again, and the elephants erupted in a high-pitched roar.
This time the situation was different, the front flank of Dayi's army was all buffalo and infantry, and the cavalry was all in the middle and rear flanks.
In addition, the continuous beating of the gong and drum at the moment created by Dayi Fang is not much inferior to Boku's.
On the other side, Tong Qin suddenly retracted, as if he was ordering, and the hundred brown elephants immediately became menacing, bowed their heads and threw off their elephant legs and rushed straight towards the Dayi army.
However, nearly two hundred meters away from the herd, they were blocked by a straight black flowing line.
The black line was when the Boku army was preparing to meet the enemy, and dozens of infantry from Dayi poured the anti-elephant barrier under the caramel cloth in front of the formation.
At that time, the aroma of caramel attracted many ants, and the sugar liquid was so thick that the ants could no longer move.
In this way, many ants repeatedly stacked and struggled, and gradually formed a thick black line at the mouth of the bowl, blocking the attack of the brown elephant herd.
The tamer's urging Tong Qin tightened as loudly, but instead of moving forward, the elephant herd rolled up their long noses away from the ground, and then turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, the marshal of the Boku army was furious, and he pulled out his saber strangely.
In the middle wing of the queue, Leng Qingtang could see clearly through the telescope, and shouted:
"Right now, the Fire Bull Formation is dispatched—"
The soldiers in the front wing were already eager to try, and when the Overseer gave the order, they immediately lit up the fire.
The first row of soldiers bent down and lit the firecrackers in their long coats tied to the tail of the buffalo, and the "crackling" noise disturbed the buffalo, and they lowered their heads and rushed towards the herd of elephants, which were also frightened by the ants.
Immediately after that, the second drainage oxen were dispatched, and the third row was ...... Hundreds of buffalo went on a rampage and ran towards the enemy.
In the past few days, waiting for the news of Light Car City, Leng Qingtang has not been idle.
Following the example of the ancients, he collected hundreds of buffaloes from the Fire Thunder City, completely blocked the news, and sent special personnel to train the herd.
The process is not simple.
On the training ground, a straw man in the shape of a Boku army and a brown elephant was erected, and the straw man's belly was filled with high-quality forage, and the Dayi people hid behind the straw man, shaking violently in front of the buffalo's eyes, and the gongs and drums around him were noisy, and there were bursts of shouts to kill the enemy.
The cattle were annoyed by the noise, and all of them rushed to the straw man with red eyes and crazy eyes, and when they broke through the straw man's belly, they found that good grass flowed out, and they lowered their heads and ate it.
After several training sessions, it became natural that as long as the buffalo saw the brown elephant and the straw man with the appearance of the Boku army, a conditioned reflex was formed in the brain, and it would rush over to pick them out in search of forage.
In order to stimulate the wildness of the buffalo to the limit when he was on the real battlefield, Leng Qingtang not only ordered people not to feed the buffalo every day, but also collected a large number of firecrackers.
At present, the hungry buffalo saw many elephants and Boku soldiers, and his heart was originally happy, thinking that he could have a good meal.
Stimulated by the gongs, drums and firecrackers, the buffalo suddenly turned red with excitement, "moo" nasal breath was dull, and all four hooves kicked and ran wildly.
Although the elephant is large and mighty, compared with the buffalo, it is like a mountain to a hill, but the hero can't stand the wolves, as if he can't stand the ant fright, the cattle can't drive, the huge body not only can't move forward, but is arched by the buffalo scurrying around.
The formation of the Boku army was in chaos, and countless soldiers were picked by the sharp knives on the horns of the buffalo and broke their intestines.
The buffalo lowered its head and licked the blood, feeling that it was not quite right, and went to chase the living Boku army. Another one was not right, and several times in a row, the doubts turned into anger, and the buffaloes chased more and more, and the more fierce they became.
The "straw men" cried and shouted for their mothers, and they didn't have their lives to hug their heads and run away, but they only hated their fathers and mothers for not giving birth to a few more legs.
The fifty ironclad chariots of the Dayi army were dispatched at the same time, and the sharpshooters took their bows and arrows and attacked the tamers on the enemy chariots.
The screams continued one after another, and the trainers planted their chariots, and the long-handled copper chin slammed into the ground.
One by one, the spears flew towards the running brown elephants, the sharp spear heads were quenched with "like a mountain", and the cold light broke through the air, cracking the bloodthirsty blade light under the heavenly dome, and ruthlessly piercing the elephant skin under the irresistible inertia urging.
"Like a mountain falling" is indeed worthy of the name, the elephant is attacked by the poison of the spear's head, it is really like a mountain falling, one head is raised to the sky and a long roar, and the elephant's trunk is painfully erected and then falls to the ground like a mountain. The heavy body crushed many panicked Boku soldiers, only to see blood stained with yellow sand and dust all over the field.
The city tower is hundred, and the vast world has become a ruthless meat grinder in an instant, brutally crushing the lives of the soldiers.
Screaming and moaning, insulting and crying, horses and cows roaring, all kinds of voices are mixed into one altar.
The defeat of the Boku army has been revealed, and they only care about the desert and fled.
When the commander of the city saw this, he ordered the men to guard the city gate to the death, and did not allow the defeated soldiers to enter the city.
Everyone knows that this Dayi is in full swing, as long as the gate of Xuede City is opened, it will be a catastrophe for himself.
Light Car City is already under control, without further ado, be sure to win Snow today!
Leng Qingtang swung his sword and rose, and the 30,000 troops in the center charged forward, like agile jackals rushing to the city tower to start a life-and-death battle.
The bow and crossbow on the castle tower appeared, and in an instant, the arrow was emptied and tilted down.
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire set up a ladder, rushed up to the city, and fell down.
The battle flags under the city are flying, the horses are galloping, and the rolling stones are like thunder, and the swords are cold.
The drums of war beat and the mountains and rivers collapsed, and the weapons trembled.
The overwhelming array of soldiers rushed together, only to see the limbs in the sky when the red light split, and the iron armor where the horse's hooves trampled was blurred.
At this moment, the sun broke out of the clouds and illuminated the blood-clotted yellow earth.
On the battlefield, the firelight and sunlight echoed each other, reflecting on everyone's faces, and their respective expressions, fear, hideous, and angry...... The outline is extraordinarily clear and profound.
A new round of charge began.
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire roared and gathered in front of the city gate, and the crossbar slammed into the city gate.
The ladder was erected high, and the armor climbed up the city tower like a crawler, and in a blink of an eye, it spread rapidly like a torrent and occupied the entire city.
……
When night falls, the stars and moon are gone.
The fierce battle, which lasted for a day, finally fell silent.
The Dayi army won a decisive victory in the battle of the fire bull array, not only occupied Xuede City in one fell swoop, but also annihilated the Boku army with a total of more than 198,000 people, and captured countless booty.
Leng Qingtang didn't order anyone to chase it, and there was no value in chasing it at all when it came to this point.
Even if the more than 1,000 defeated troops of Boku escaped, waiting for them were the Dayi pirates and the Yi army who changed into Boku soldiers, and the cool feeling of beating the dog behind closed doors was left to Mrs. Yaoguang and Yihuan to enjoy.
In the cheers, Leng Qingtang climbed the city tower, stroked the rough city bricks, looked at the smoke in the air that had not yet faded, slowly closed his eyes, and savored the memories of the fierce battles of life and death.
The soldiers in front of them, like the towering mountains and the brave sea, adhere to the military order of "not giving up an inch of land", and create one miracle and myth after another in the southern Xinjiang of Dayi.
It is these lovely people who share life and death with him, side by side.
The battle of southern Xinjiang has finally ended......
Leng Qingtang looked at the unknown insects flying in the air, and looked at the grass more than one person tall on the mound below the city swaying gently in the wind, he suddenly smiled and whispered to the air:
"Girl, the battle is over, I'm going back......"
