Chapter 35: The Fire Bull Bursts into Battle

Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the five thousand sergeants behind him let out a carnival sound, and their eyes lit up, rushing towards Xinye City like wolves.

In just half an hour, Liu Zongmin's troops arrived at Xinye City. Liu Zongmin looked at Xinye City from a distance, and saw that the city gate was closed, and although there were many soldiers on the city wall, it could be judged that most of them were county soldiers.

Liu Zongmin sneered, "A group of rabble, how can they resist my Tang Heavenly Soldiers?" Command the whole army to attack the city, and after the city is broken, we will be happy and happy! ”

"Kill!"

After listening to Liu Zongmin's words, the morale was greatly boosted, and they roared and slaughtered to Xinye City.

On Xinye City, the county commander Zhang Xun was dressed in armor and stood calmly on the city wall, when he saw the five thousand Tang troops rushing up with a shout, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a sneer, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate and herd the cattle!" ”

Thundered...

The city gate suddenly opened, and Liu Zongmin, who had led the army to rush wildly, was stunned for a moment, not knowing what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Sui army in the city, but in the next second, his face turned pale because he saw hundreds of crazy scalpers suddenly gushing out of the city gate.

Each cow had blood-red eyes, knives in their buttocks, blood flowing, and their tails were wrapped in thick tarpaulins, which had been lit at the moment, and both horns were also tied with bright sharp knives, and because of the stinging pain in their buttocks, the herd lost their minds at the moment, and roared forward and rushed forward.

"Run, run!"

Liu Zongmin was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head and ran lifelessly behind, and the Tang soldiers also reacted, screaming and fleeing frantically. It's just that the speed of the scalper who has lost his mind is really terrifying, but in a moment, he caught up with the Tang army who was desperately fleeing.

Click-

How can flesh and blood hold back the mad beast? In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Tang soldiers were knocked to the ground by the herd, pierced through the bodies by the sharp knives on the horns, and turned into a puddle of meat in a loud cracking sound that pierced the eardrums.

Flesh and blood were flying, but the herd did not stop advancing, they were still burying their heads in the wild, the ground shaking, and from a distance, it looked like a huge fire dragon.

Bang bang bang!!

The cattle rushed wildly, and from time to time, the Tang army was swept to the ground by the crazy oxen, and they were trampled on the ground before they could scream. At first, the Tang army could still retreat back in formation, but as the cattle continued to go deeper, the Tang army was crushed to the ground by the cattle, and a flesh and blood body was ruthlessly lifted into the air. In the end, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers could not be found, so they fled for their own lives, and completely became a group of rabble.

This crazy impact lasted for nearly an hour, and the herd gradually calmed down, Liu Zongmin gathered the defeated army under the escort of several personal soldiers, and after careful counting, he found that there were less than 700 people left, which made Liu Zongmin want to cry without tears.

Originally, the information obtained by the Tang army was that there were only about 3,000 county soldiers in Xinye City, so both Li Jiancheng and Liu Zongmin themselves thought that this would be an offensive and defensive battle without suspense, but he never expected that there would be a master in the city, and he would put a fire bull formation for him, which made him almost annihilated!

Looking at the not-so-tall city wall of Xinye City not far away, Liu Zongmin scolded hatefully: "Bastard, when the city is broken, Lao Tzu must wash the army and people of the city with blood to avenge today's revenge!" ”

Boom.. Knock knock...

Before Liu Zongmin's words fell, drums suddenly sounded in the dense forests on both sides, and thousands of Sui soldiers came out of the woods.

"Death to the thief!"

The general led by the Sui army carried a pair of eight-sided bronze hammers in his hand, urging the blue and white horses under his crotch to gallop out and take Liu Zongmin directly, it was Lei Wanchun.

"It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and a county lieutenant dares to bully your grandfather Liu!"

Liu Zongmin saw that Lei Wanchun was dressed as a county lieutenant, snorted coldly disdainfully, and rushed forward with a knife, "Sons, look at how I killed this rat who doesn't know whether to live or die!" ”

"Die!"

Lei Wanchun is not a good-tempered person, after listening to Liu Zongmin's arrogant scolding, he was furious, his eyes widened angrily, and the bronze hammer in his hand smashed down towards Liu Zongmin.

"Ding Dong, Lei Wanchun has been detected to enter a state of fighting, force +4, base force 99, and the current force has risen to 103."

Throat!

With a dull and long metal bombardment sound, Liu Zongmin's war knife was shocked and scattered, like ice cubes shattering and flying, Liu Zongmin himself couldn't withstand the impact of this powerful force, and the whole person flew upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

Lei Wanchun stepped forward without stopping, and the bronze hammer in his hand smashed down towards Liu Zongmin, who had just struggled to get up, and hit Liu Zongmin's helmet with a bang, and his skull was broken, his brain was bleeding, his pupils were spreading, and the whole person fell to the ground weakly.

"Ding Dong, Lei Wanchun was detected to hammer and kill Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin, commander 83, force 86, intelligence 61, politics 57.Reward the host soul points 9, the current total soul points have risen to 72."

"Lei Wanchun and Liu Zongmin? What's going on? Yang Gao, who was dealing with government affairs in Jinling City, heard the prompt sound of the system coldly, and was stunned for a moment, and the pen in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. After thinking for a long time, Yang Gao suddenly stood up and said secretly: "It's not good, it must be the Tang army sneaking into Jingxiang from the Shangyong Mountain Road, sneaking into Xinye, trying to trap Yang Yanzhao's corps in Nanyang." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Gao quickly shouted outside: "Come on, pass on my message to Chang Yuchun, now that Jiangnan has been decided, in order to prevent Guanlong Li Yuan from making trouble, he was ordered to immediately lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to rush to Jingxiang by boat, and quickly send an eagle letter to Yang Yanzhao, asking him to be careful not to prevent the Tang army from sneaking up on Jingxiang from Shangyong Mountain Road." ”

"Yes!" The eunuch outside the door heard the anxiety in Yang Gao's tone, answered, and left in a hurry.

Hearing the sound of the eunuch leaving, Yang Gao sat down slowly, and said to himself: "Thanks to the fact that Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun have just been summoned this time, otherwise the situation may be even more critical!" I hope that Zhang Xun can resist the offensive of Li Tang's army and hold out until reinforcements arrive, just like he did with An Lushan's rebels in history! ”

On the other hand, near Xinye County, because Liu Zongmin's two moves were killed by Lei Wanchun, and most of the hundreds of people under his command were frightened by the herd offensive just now.

In this battle, the Sui army only killed 21 people and wounded 47 people, but it broke 5,000 Tang troops and captured hundreds of people, which became the beginning of Zhang Xun's brilliant life.
