Chapter 474: Fire Bull Array
Zhang Jie nodded and said: "Reasonable, the other party lacks war horses, and only by breaking up our team can we have a chance."
But how can this fire bull array be broken?
Jia Xu said: In fact, the fire bull formation will be chaotic after rushing a few hundred steps. To charge the fire ox, the cow must be blindfolded with a cloth and the lamp oil must be applied to the cow's tail. When the opponent's formation is dense, ignite the oxtail at the same time. When the cow is in pain, it will run desperately. But there is also the possibility of hurting your own side in the back. So this array is rarely used.
But once the herd rushes up, the war horses can't withstand it at all. If you tie a blade to the horns of a cow in advance, you will really die if you rub it, and you will die if you are next to it.
The heavily armored iron riders could not withstand the collision of the big buffalo. Because it is the herd of cattle rushing up, Chen Shi can make the war horses run in all directions. But the cow is blindfolded, and no one knows what will happen when they run away. Maybe it's not necessarily to rush to your own side.
However, Kong Ming must have hoped to use the Fire Ox Chen to disperse our cavalry, and then lead the army to rush over. Once in the melee, the cavalry loses its maneuver, and our cavalry superiority cannot shine. The outcome is unpredictable.
Well, that's right! Zhang Jie said.
Jia Xu said with a smile: In the future, tell the brothers that it is best for the cavalry to shoot arrows from a distance. Don't pile up, leave room to turn around quickly, so that when the other party sets fire to the cow, immediately retreat a little farther away, and the cow can't outrun the war horse blindfolded.
After a few hundred paces, the bulls will scatter and run, and some will stop. At that time, shoot the buffalo with a bed crossbow, or use a long knife to cut off the leg of the cow first, and the cow is blindfolded, and it is easy to cut, and it is the hind leg. As long as one leg is cut off, the ox can only roll on the ground. Hehe, when the time comes, just eat beef.
Hahahaha, Gao Ming, Wen and this plan is wonderful! The lonely king has a text and peace of mind!
Yuanfu, you go and tell the generals about Wenhe's plan. By its sub-dragon they are.
Promise!
Jia Xu's clever plan finally made Zhuge Liang's fire bull array a gift to the raising array. The cattle were all eaten by the Wei army.
The next day, Zhang Jieming, Zhao Yun, and Xu Huang led 30,000 cavalry to attack, and mainly used the running shooting method, and also fired arrows to return fire, but the effect was not ideal.
Xu Huang even detoured back to the back gate of Xinye City. But Kong Ming still didn't let the ox rush out.
Juyi's crossbowmen also sent out their entire army and shot tens of thousands of arrows at the opponent, but the effect was not very good. This turtle shell can't be broken for a while.
In the evening, Zhang Jie collected his troops, Xu Huang and others came to report, and attacked for a day, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people. There was little success.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Ran said: My lord, this Zhuge Liang is a turtle shell in Xinye, if it is attacked like this, it will be impossible to break it. It's better to give up Xinye and go straight to Xiangyang.
Pang Tongdao: It's not time yet! If you go straight to Xiangyang now, you have to cross the Han River first to go to Xiangyang! But the Hanshui Wharf is in Fancheng. It would be too dangerous if Fancheng was not taken.
Liu Qi left nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses in Fancheng, and the ordnance, grain and grass were sufficient, and it was difficult to capture it for a while! At that time, we will have Fancheng and Hanshui blocking the road in front of us, and the army of Xinye Kongming will cut off my back road. And it's a front and back flanking situation. Dangerous?
So for the time being, I can't go all out to Xiangyang. Unless there is a ferry elsewhere in Hanshui to meet them, and Xiangyang surrenders without a fight. When we get to Xiangyang, we can get food supplies in the city.
Otherwise, even if you cross the Han River and reach the city of Xiangyang, it will be very dangerous. But Xiangyang is not easy to attack!
Zhang Jie said: Don't worry, don't worry, it's only been a few days! Take your time, accompany Kong Ming to play here for a few days, and then I will let you go to Xiangyang.
Hehe, have you forgotten Wen Chang and them?
Only then did everyone understand that Zhang Jie was deliberately delaying time to cover Wei Yan and them.
Alright, let's go and rest first! Xia Zhong, Ju Yi, prepare to prevent the other party from robbing the camp at night.
Promise!
You also send some people to find more firewood to keep your brothers warm, so that they don't freeze.
Promise!
In Zhuge Liang's tent, Lu Su said: Kong Ming! Why don't you launch the Fire Bull Formation today! After a long time, I'm afraid Zhang Jie will find out the clues!
Zijing, Zhang Jie's cavalry is very scattered, although there are a lot of people, but it is easy to turn around! It didn't do much to rush over like this. Therefore, Liang did not start.
Well, could it be that Zhang Jie has already taken precautions? Lu Su asked.
It shouldn't be so, the cattle are all locked up in the city, and there are special guards, and it is impossible to find them on the periphery.
Zhang Jie is very experienced in the use of cavalry, and he can always make the war horse turn around, which should be done by habit, and it is not intentional to find out that we use the fire bull array. But it also shows that the opponent's soldiers are also very good at using cavalry, and they can also boast on their horses, which shows that they must be constantly trained. Zhuge Liang said.
Lu Su nodded, yes! Quite possibly! Let's hope there will be a fighter tomorrow!
The next day, Zhang Jie asked Zhao Yun to attack again, and this time let a thousand iron Buddha Tu also come out to fight. Tens of thousands of cavalry ran back and forth on the periphery of Xinye. Sometimes the arrows are fired, and sometimes the attacks are spectacular.
When the Iron Buddha Tu stopped at a gap, there were also a large number of cavalry behind, and Zhuge Liang felt that the time should be almost up. Although it is not the best time, if you wait any longer, you don't know when there will be such an opportunity, and if it takes a long time, it is possible for the other party to find out the situation in detail.
Zhuge Liang gave the order, move the gap, light the fire, and herd the cattle!
After a while, nearly a thousand large buffaloes, with blades tied to their horns, blindfolded with black cloth, and fire hanging from their tails, rushed forward.
Cat’s meow! Cat’s meow! Cat’s meow! Cat’s meow! The ox let the fire scream and run forward!
Zhao Yun shouted! Evacuate! The cavalry immediately turned around and galloped! Because they had been prepared for a long time, they withdrew quickly, but there were too many cavalry, and some people still let the cattle get on top and die miserably!
And the cavalry such as Wen Ping, Guan Yu, and Gan Ning, who followed behind the cow, pursued frantically.
It's a pity that as Jia Xu said, this fire bull rushed less than a mile away, and it was all in chaos, some rushed to the top of each other, some went back, and some ran around, scattering and fleeing!
Zhang Jie shouted: Drumming! Tong! Tong! Tong! Tong!
As soon as the drums sounded, the cows with their heads covered became even more chaotic, and some of them fled back in fright.
Now they have to hide from it. Otherwise, the cow will die!
After half a cup of tea, the oxtail was on the lamp oil, and the fire was over, and many cows got tired of running during the fire and began to slow down, and some simply stopped to graze.
And Wenpin didn't have much to do with them, the other party ran too fast.
After waiting for Wen Ping to chase after a certain distance. Suddenly kill an Iron Buddha Slaughter, followed by a large number of light cavalry!
Kill! The two armies clashed hard, and in the face of the Iron Buddha Slaughter, Wen Ping could only leave a corpse and start retreating!!
And these blindfolded cattle are scattered, blindfolded, and there is no threat at all. After Wen Ping fled, these Wei troops began to kill cattle.
Find a cow, because it is difficult to cut off the head because there is a knife on the cow's head, it is a knife to the hind leg of the cow............
