Chapter 278: Fire Bull Rushes

Jiang Xuan's murderous aura calmed down slightly, and he felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he almost sat down softly.

Sun Hui shook the blood on the meteoric iron long knife as if it was okay and looked ahead. Seeing that it was Sun Hui fighting side by side with them, the tired Song army soldiers became excited again.

The Song army's infantry at the front suddenly fluctuated, and they originally pressed the Jurchen cavalry to retreat continuously, but this strong offensive was contained for a while. Almost at the same time, Jiang Xuan heard a muffled sound of a horn, like the muffled thunder on the top of a mountain in the distance.

Jiang Xuan immediately looked in the direction where the horn sound came from. Everyone was huddled together, he was of medium height, and his gaze couldn't go over everyone's heads, and the Song Army foot soldier next to him immediately squatted down and let Jiang Xuan climb on his shoulder. The two of them took a breath of cold air at the same time, and at the same time, the Song army infantry in front began to retreat slowly, and the Jurchen light cavalry opposite them did not pursue, but slowly dispersed, giving way to a huge passage.

Ten roaring bulls appeared in the cavalry brigade of the Jin army, it was more than a man tall, wrapped in brown cowhide and black iron nails, and its head was a long, polished horn, and the tips were also wrapped in pig iron, and a huge iron surface covered its head in its entirety, revealing only its eyes, which were as red as coals. It was bound by chains, which several sturdy Jurchen warriors tugged at in all directions to keep it from losing control. But these giant bulls were obviously excited, and they shook their heads desperately, put their feet on the ground, and leaned forward violently.

Sun Hui noticed that the giant bull was carrying a huge iron canister on his back, and the thick black medicine on it couldn't help but change his complexion.

"Retreat." Sun Hui said to Jiang Xuan in a deep voice.

"Retreat! Retreat! Jiang Xuan raised his knife and ordered loudly.

The Song soldiers accelerated their retreat. Almost at the same time, the Jurchen warriors lit the medicine and let go of the chains, and the giant bulls finally got rid of their shackles, roared wildly, lowered their heads, and two sharp horns rushed forward, towards the Song army's foot soldiers. The Jurchen warriors all retreated, and only one of the warriors who was in charge of holding the iron chain failed to dodge in time, and was caught in the leg by a chain, and dragged dozens of steps in the land before breaking free, carrying a body full of mud and dust, turning around and running back.

The appearance of these giant bulls made all the war horses present seem small and weak, and it ran like a giant chariot full of iron thorns, shaking the earth, and the smoke and dust rose to the height of two people. Di Feng soon realized that the danger was far greater than he had thought, that these giant bulls were running faster than horses, and that their heavy bodies would break the bones of anyone who collided with them head-on, not to mention the horns of spears and the two-foot-long iron spikes on their armor.

"The golden man will still use the fire ox!" Jiang Jun said in a low voice.

"Yes, but the Golden Captives have gunpowder on them." Sun Hui stared at these running giant bulls, "These cows are carrying gunpowder, and they will explode when they rush into our formation, like thunderbolts, which is really a vicious tactic." ”

The Jin army's use of the "fire ox array" is not recorded in Chinese historical records, but Sun Hui has seen relevant records in some foreign sources, in the battle with the Mongol army, the Jin army used gunpowder tied to the body of the ox to blow up the Mongol army's siege vehicles.

And what appears in front of Sun Hui's eyes now should be the advance version of the true reproduction of that period of history. And Sun Hui also made a new discovery, that is, this kind of cattle has been specially trained and specially used to fight and charge into battle.

The Jurchen shepherds, who did not want them to become docile animals, provoked the fierce side of the animal's nature, made them kill each other for courtship, chose the most aggressive cubs to raise them, chained them around their necks, and whipped them with iron spikes. Cattle raised in this way are ferocious devils, excited like carnivorous beasts at the smell of blood, and when they are trained, they are sent to the most dangerous battlefields to make a bloody way for the cavalry.

Jiang Xuan and Di Feng also immediately retreated.

People couldn't match the speed of these, and these giant bulls quickly caught up with the retreating Song soldiers. Its lightning speed allowed it to easily provoke several Song soldiers with its sharp horns, and the young men were pierced through the chests by the thick horns of the bowl and hung on them like trophies. Several Song soldiers scattered to the sides, paused in the middle of running, rolled backwards, and swung their swords against the ground at the same time. They tried to use this method of dealing with the horses against the giant bulls, but to their surprise, the scimitars slashed at the hanging iron armor, which had their legs covered to the knees with a layer of tough iron armor. The brave young men were then trampled by their hooves into a mess of indistinguishable flesh.

Unhindered, the giant bull shuttled through the Song army's foot soldiers, and it became more and more excited by the wild run, roaring and raising its head, blood dripping down its horns onto the iron surface, and the fresh bloody breath made it mad.

"You can't leave this thing behind," Jiang Xuan stopped, "otherwise it will still block the way of the cavalry!" ”

"Leave it to me." Sun Hui raised the meteorite long knife in Yang's hand,

Sun Hui knew that if he turned into a feather man or a unicorn breathing fire, he would be able to destroy them, but the ensuing violent explosion was only afraid that he would injure himself, so he decided to use another method.

Sun Hui roared, instantly turned into the form of an orc, and rushed towards these crazy giant bulls.

When a giant bull saw that someone dared to rush towards him, it roared loudly, shook its head and threw the corpse on its horns away, and rushed straight towards Sun Hui.

Sun Hui strode forward, and the moment he approached the giant bull, he jumped up, jumped to the side of the giant bull, and saw the right time, and plunged the meteorite long knife in his hand straight into the body of the giant bull.

With the memory of his previous life, he put the skills of the Spanish bullfighter into play, and this knife pierced the heart of the giant bull through the thick iron armor, and the giant bull immediately fell down. Sun Hui drew his knife with all his might, and with one knife he cut off the burning medicine on the gunpowder can.

Jiang Xuan saw Sun Hui's movements, and was inspired, threw away the long knife that had been curled, picked up a spear on the ground, and rushed straight towards a giant bull.

The giant bull slammed into him, and Jiang Xuan straightened his spear and stabbed it straight at one of the giant bull's eyes.

He knew that his strength could not be compared with Sun Hui, and the spear in his hand was not as sharp as Sun Hui's meteorite iron long knife, which could easily pierce the iron armor on the giant bull's body, so he decided to attack the giant bull's eyes.

The spear hit the left eye of the giant bull, straight through, the giant bull let out a piercing roar, shook his head hard, Jiang Xuan clenched the spear tightly, and his body was thrown up.
