Chapter 325: Fire Bull Formation

Jieli Khan rested, and he could never have imagined that not far from his encampment, a team was watching him and his army.

And on that hill, Xue Rengui and No. 2 were cautiously looking at the Turkic camp not far away.

"It seems that Jieli, the old thief, will go back here to rest tonight, where is the army led by the marshal" Xue Rengui looked at the camp not far away and asked in a low voice.

"There was a previous report that the army was at least five days away from us, and by the time the marshal came, the old thief would have already run away, I see"

"I also know that when the marshal comes, the old thief will already run away, so I don't plan to wait for the marshal to come," Xue Rengui interrupted No. 3 and said there.

"Then what do you mean" No. 3 looked at Xue Rengui puzzled, and the others also looked at him.

"I mean, judging the time when the old thief will leave by the position of the marshal, since the marshal has at least five days to arrive, the Turks who have been watching the marshal's army will not know, so they should be here for two days, then you say, do we have more opportunities to set up, I am very yearning for the fire bull array" Xue Rengui looked at the Turkic camp with a smile and said to No. 2.

"No. 1, it turns out that you have had this plan for a long time, I have always felt that you let us take those cattle captured from the Turkic tribes because you were afraid that we would have no food, so you planned to use it here" Cheng Chumo looked at Xue Rengui with surprise and admiration and said.

"You, you know how to eat, this war, you can't just think about the things in front of you, you have to take a long-term view, today we will have a good night's rest, tomorrow on the 9th, you take your people to slowly drive us over the cattle left behind, and we will deal with these Turks in front of us at midnight" After speaking, Xue Rengui took them down from the hill and rushed back to their hiding place.

At this time, Li Jing and others, who were chasing behind the Turks, had already divided their troops into two routes, one led by Li Wei to advance in the direction of the Turkic march, and the other 5,000 cavalry rode in one person and two horses along the direction of the scouts, and quickly marched towards the Turkic army.

And making this judgment was a decision made by Li Jing after receiving the information sent by Xue Rengui and them.

After all, Li Jing didn't want Jieli Khan to go deep into the grassland like this, this was undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain, and he wanted to completely defeat Jieli before Jieli completely got rid of their army.

In this way, Li Jing led people to the Turkic army day and night, and the White Tiger Guard was also actively preparing.

Soon two days passed, and tonight, there was a rare good weather on the steppe, the endless starry sky and the moon hanging high in the sky, which made the Turks feel very good, because in these two days, there was no attack by the pursuers, and since they had lit a bonfire, they were so unhappy that they sang and danced there, and they played until late at night before stopping to rest.

And the Turks could not have imagined that behind this tranquility, two devouring tigers were already eyeing them, waiting for them to slack off and strike a fatal blow at them.

"Dingfang, have you found any traces of the White Tiger Guard in the past few days" At this moment, in a hidden place behind the Turkic army, Li Jing, who only felt it today, looked at the man in front of him with a worried face and asked.

"Marshal, my subordinates have not found any trace of the White Tiger Guard in the past two days, have they really arrived here" Su Dingfang looked at Li Jing suspiciously.

"Didn't you find it, it seems that they are hiding well, then don't worry about them, when our side starts to attack them, they will come over, you go down to rest first, the dawn is the time to fight or lose" After speaking, Li Jing asked Su Dingfang and other generals to go down to rest, because everything that should be arranged has been arranged, just wait for tonight's decisive battle.

On the other side, Xue Rengui and the others were already preparing, they didn't know that Li Jing was already behind the Turks with his men, but even if they knew, Xue Rengui would not change easily, but would persuade Li Jing to join them.

And the time passed slowly in waiting, until midnight when the whole Turkic camp was quiet.

Xue Rengui and the others wore battle armor and weapons one by one, and waited for Cheng Chumo's fire bull array to attack the camp, and they covered up and killed.

"Brothers, do your job, drive those cattle to the Turkic camp" Looking at the cattle that were already ready to go, Cheng Chumo looked at the sky and shouted loudly.

After receiving Cheng Chumo's order, the White Tiger Guards, who had already been prepared, drove thousands of cattle doused with tung oil to the Turkic camp quickly.

When they were less than twenty miles away from the Turkic camp, the Turks on duty in the camp spotted incoming cattle and scattered torches.

At first, they didn't think much of it, thinking that it was the cattle driven by the tribes that had come to defect.

But when the cattle arrived at the camp less than five miles, the light of the torches stopped, and then the Turks saw countless fires shooting towards the cattle, and when the fire touched the herd, the whole herd burned fiercely, and the ignited cattle were also frightened by the sudden fire, and the scorching temperature came from the body, and the frightened cattle kept speeding up and ran towards the Turkic camp.

In the face of this sudden turn of events, the Turkic soldiers on duty, before they could give a warning, the thousands of cattle who braved the raging fire smashed down the simple gate of the camp and rushed inside.

The cattle that rushed into the camp instantly turned the entire Turkic camp into chaos, countless yurts were set on fire by the herds, and some unlucky people trampled to death the flaming cattle that suddenly rushed in their sleep.

This sudden turn of events overwhelmed many Turks, who desperately avoided the herd, wailing and screaming.

"What have you found, why is there such chaos outside?" shouted Jieli Khan, who heard the shouting, running out of his yurt in rags.

And like Jieli Khan, the ministers and generals under him also rushed out of their yurts.

"My lord, somehow there are countless fiery fire oxen attacking our camp," said a Turkic soldier who had just organized people to kill a few fire oxen that rushed to Jieli Khan's yurt, looking at Jieli Khan in despair.

"What, the fiery fire ox, what's going on, why is there a fire ox attack, what the hell is going on, you quickly take people to kill those fire oxen, and then order those generals, gather the soldiers, it may be the Tang people who did it" Jieli Khan heard the soldier's words, looked at the fire and chaos in front of him, he thought that it might be the Tang army's doing, he ordered loudly.
