Chapter 257: Cattle Charge

Wangyu River is located in Yuxi Village, Changshu County.

Historical legend: During the Chu and Han dynasties, Xiang Yu's wife Yu Ji was a native of Yuxi Village, Changshu County, Jiangsu.

Yu Ji was born as beautiful as a fairy, but Yu Ji's two younger sisters are also as delicate as flowers. These two flower-like girls and Yu Ji have a deep relationship, and the two of them are very worried about Yu Ji's safety when they learn that Xiang Yu is besieged by Liu Bang. The two daughters are stubborn, and they have been waiting for Yu Ji to return safely at the entrance of the village.

However, Yu Ji died under the wall.

A Jiangdong disciple under Xiang Yu's command who escaped by luck returned to Yuxi Village and told the two daughters the news of Yu Ji's death. The two sisters were in pain and planned to avenge Yu Ji. The two women decided to assassinate Liu Bang, but in the end they failed and were killed. The children of Jiangdong who fled back collected the bodies of their sisters and buried them by the river, and later generations named the river Wangyu River.

Pan Qingyang led the army out of Changshu County, all the way to the north, approaching Yuxi Village.

The further north you look, the more turbulent the river becomes.

Because the Wangyu River starts from Shadunkou on the Taihu Lake in the south to Gengjingkou on the Yangtze River in the north, and then flows into the Yangtze River and flows into the East China Sea, the water potential is getting bigger and bigger. Pan Qingyang ran towards the location of Fushan Town, and he had to pass through the Wangyu River.

At this moment, Pan Qingyang was leading the army to move forward rapidly.

The soldiers led by Pan Qingyang were the first group specifically to attract the Qing army.

As the commander of the army, Pan Qingyang rode a tall horse, wearing a golden helmet, wearing golden armor, and carrying a gem-inlaid sword at his waist. At this moment, Pan Qingyang raised his eyebrows and found a sense of commandery. At the helm of an army of 40,000 filled with endless satisfaction.

Even if Pan Qingyang only led 20,000 soldiers as the first group, he was still satisfied.

"The general's army has been on a journey for three hours in a row, so let's stop and rest for a while." There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a lieutenant rushed to Pan Qingyang's side and suggested loudly.

Pan Qingyang thought about it for a moment, anyway, he was not in a hurry to attract the Qing army, nodded and ordered: "The order goes down, the army rests in place for half an hour, and then continues to hurry." ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant happily agreed, came down and rode back and forth in front of the procession, and shouted loudly: "The general has ordered the army to rest in place for half an hour and then continue on its way. ”

The sound echoed back and forth in the army, and the sound of horses' hooves was still ringing constantly.

One by one, the soldiers stopped to rest, and after a short time, 20,000 soldiers did not hurry anymore. The procession of 20,000 people was long and winding, like a dragon and a snake, curled up like a dragon and a snake, and the sound was huge.

Pan Qingyang sat on a stool, his eyes swept the road in front of him, and a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

Will there be so many teams of Qing troops?

Time passed, half an hour passed in an instant, and the official road was still extremely calm, and no Qing troops appeared. Pan Qingyang stood up in disappointment, let the soldiers put away the stools, and suddenly shouted: "Send the order, go down, and the army will set off to Fushan Town!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald agreed, and went straight to the herald.

The long winding official road all the soldiers stood up and prepared to go.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a black line appeared on the horizon in front of the official road. As the black line continued to wriggle, the ground began to shake violently. The soldier could clearly feel the shaking as he stood on the ground. Pan Qingyang was riding on the horse, and he was obviously aware of the strangeness of the mount under his crotch. In particular, the war horse was irritable, shook its hooves, shook its head, and neighed, revealing an unusual smell.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

The shouts of soldiers rang out in the army.

Pan Qingyang rode on the war horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and tightened the reins of the horse even harder, controlling the war horse and preventing the war horse from going crazy. Although there was an enemy in front of him, Pan Qingyang's face showed a look of ecstasy. The first group of troops he led was to lure Li Zhen's army out to attack, and now there are enemy troops to kill, it must be Li Zhen who is coming.

When the army appeared, Pan Qingyang was only happy and not angry.

"Moo! Moo!! ”

Suddenly, there was a cow chirping ahead.

"Boom !!"

The sound of the ground shaking and roaring was clear, and the chirping of the cattle was clearly audible.

As far as the eye can see, the black line of the horizon disappears, and in its place is a cow. Although it is a little farther away, you can clearly see a number of cattle in sight, and there are even many cows with sharp horns. These scalpers rushed madly towards the location of Pan Qingyang's army, like a surging flood, revealing an unstoppable aura of a desolate beast.

"Damn the cows, it's really a herd!"

Pan Qingyang's face changed drastically, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. The moment ago, he was still proud, but when he saw the scalper charging into battle, Pan Qingyang was already difficult to keep calm.

"Withdraw!"

Pan Qingyang suddenly roared, and a terrible voice sounded in the air.

"Drive!!"

Pan Qingyang grabbed the reins of the horse, shook it violently, and recklessly turned the horse's head and retreated backwards.

The dense herd of cattle rushed violently, and the soldiers couldn't stop it at all. At this time, Pan Qingyang's heart suddenly rose with a thought that he shouldn't come. Li Zhen is too poisonous and ruthless. A fire burned Li Xiucheng's 10,000 elites, and now they are charging with cattle. Not to mention that he only has 20,000 people, even if it is 40,000 elite charges, he can't withstand the dense herd charge.

"Moo! Moo!! ”

Mournful cries rang out one after another from the herd.

The cattle that charged frantically were all screaming in pain, and wisps of green smoke lingered in the air. But the tail of each cow crackled and smoked from it. In fact, these cattle were all found by Smith and Lu Shaochuan, and they were specially used to deal with the first batch of Taiping troops. Smith had the soldiers soak the tail of each cow in tung oil and ignite it until it was extinguished. The scalper ate the pain of the tail, but the burning fire could not be extinguished, and he could only charge violently.

The collective charge of hundreds of cattle is simply a tsunami.

These cattle were all found by Smith and Lu Shaochuan with great effort. When the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion found Lu Shaochuan and brought the news conveyed by Li Zhen, Smith began to think about how to deal with Pan Qingyang.

The herd charge was the way to deal with the first group of Taiping troops.

In the blink of an eye, the herd had rushed into the crowd of Taiping soldiers.

"Help, save ......"

As soon as the sound came out, it was immediately attacked by the herd. The Taiping soldiers who hit the road violently fell like scarecrows, trampled by cattle and turned into a puddle of mud. Blood splattered everywhere, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the situation was tragic. This was the case everywhere, and all the soldiers who ran behind were hit by the cattle.

"Don't let me die, help, help!"

"Mother, why is my son so unlucky. How can I live when I met such a vicious person just after I came out! Yes!!! ”

"Run, flee, spread to both sides of the road. Don't gather together, don't stand in the middle of the road. Just take shelter on the left and right sides of the road and let the herd out of the way. ”

The army was in an uproar, the soldiers were busy running, and the officers were running and at the same time thinking about putting the soldiers in order.

The 20,000-strong team scattered under the onslaught of cattle.
