Chapter Eighty-Nine, Cow! Cattle! Cattle!
(Thank you for the reward support of the book friend "Auden the Great", the words are over after the two watches, and the second volume will almost end tomorrow, haha finally ask for a ticket!) ~)
The so-called fire ox array, that is, to release a herd of cattle, form a kind of battle array, generally tie sharp knives to the tail of these cattle, ignite flames, but in fact, this is not a simple military formation, at least its power is different from the usual battlefield arrangement, because when the fire ox array is really implemented, at that time it is no longer a person who can control it, and no one can restrain the momentum of thousands of cows going crazy together, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is known as the strongest in the world, is not good.
This tactic sounds difficult, but it is not easy to say, you must know that the Fire Bull Array actually had a real stage when the two parties fought each other in modern times, but that attempt failed directly, after all, the Fire Bull Array must ensure that it is facing the enemy, otherwise it is better not to use it, and almost since then, it has made people have certain doubts about the authenticity of the Fire Bull Array.
But one thing is for sure, if the Fire Bull Array is real, then Le Yi must also have some secret that is interdependent with it, otherwise in fact, not to mention modern times, there may be many more examples of battles related to the Fire Bull Array in ancient times.
Of course, another point that must be considered is that if the fire ox array can really be implemented, the power and destructive power are indeed very large, but the price is not small, you must know that if the war horse is the mainstream of the mount in the war in this era, then the ploughing ox is to support the small peasant economy a foundation, the role of the ox is self-evident, after all, the war can not be fought, but the meal can not be eaten, and people will not be good if they do not fight, but if they do not eat, they will starve to death.
And the thousand ploughing cattle that Lu Bu has attracted now, the actual number is not more than a thousand, it is only a little more than 800, but it is also these, it has already collected nearby counties and townships, and it took a lot of effort to collect the land, as for whether any special means were used in this process, no one knows, anyway, when Lu Bu ordered people to go, although he had already warned them to lure them to take advantage and not to force them too much, he also expected that there would be a situation where Yang Feng Yin would violate, but as long as this time it passed, those small troubles would have no effect, but you don't have to worry about it so much.
In fact, in the relevant records of the fire ox array in history, Le Yi also requisitioned more than 1,000 ploughing cattle when he broke the Yan army, if you can't imagine that scene, then you can first think about the scene you have seen about the cattle running wild in the animal world, even if it is just through TV, the oppression that comes is obvious, and in fact, the herd in that case is generally not more than a thousand, so you can imagine how big and terrifying the momentum of thousands of cattle rushing together is.
And now this qiē scene is really staged outside the Yanshi City, in the rear of the coalition army, not to mention those infantry camps, even the cavalry can't resist at all, or simply don't have the courage to resist, you must know that the mount is also an instinctive reaction animal, with the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, in this case, how can you expect them to hedge against the other party? What's more, even hedging will not produce any good results.
As for why Lu Bu led the cavalry team to bring out that red flag before-haven't you seen the Spanish bullfight? The matador's large red cloth shook incessantly, provoking the bull to anger and draw it into a charge.
This is also because Lu Bu was worried about an accident in the Fire Bull Formation before, so he deliberately made a safeguard measure, and the result was really effective, at least the stimulation of the herd was really great.
Some people say that bullfighters use red cloth because cattle are color blind, and it is difficult to distinguish colors, and only red stimuli are the most sensitive; Some people also say that what really causes the bullfight is the shaking cloth, which has nothing to do with the color, but no matter which one it is, Lu Bu uses it now anyway, "shaking red cloth", and it looks like it works very well. …,
This group of cattle was really enraged, and they didn't know where they got such a big anger, after gathering from Gongxian, and then began to set off, and drove all the way here, and then began to use various means of attraction and drive such as shaking the red cloth and igniting the tail, and finally attracted them here, and it seems that because they have not been able to catch up with Lu Bu and others, their anger has not only decreased in the process of chasing, but has become more and more intense.
Because of the weather, today's wind seems a little strong, and the shaking of this piece of "Red Sea" pulled by the light cavalry of Bingzhou obviously has a certain bonus effect, and later Lu Bu led the cavalry to take advantage of the wind to cover the head of the cavalry of the coalition army, they did not have time to react, not only was their vision blinded, but also attracted the attention of the herd of cattle at once, so that the herd directly transferred the target of the impact from the light cavalry to them.
And this is undoubtedly a huge disaster for the coalition forces at this time!
In fact, Lu Bu himself was a little frightened when he did this kind of thing before, because if he didn't handle it well, he might be burned, but fortunately, there was no accident in the end, and it seemed to be very successful.
And Lu Bu, who had already led the cavalry to retreat to both sides, looked back at the rear defense of the coalition army that was completely defeated by the Fire Bull Array at this time, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth: "Now, it's time for us to press all and launch a counterattack!" ”
"Yes!" The pro-soldiers who had been holding back beside him for more than half a month responded one after another, making the smile on the corner of his mouth even stronger......
The rout of the coalition is like the destruction of a big joke, this joke is the alliance of the eighteenth princes to ask for Dong, in fact, this joke is not funny at all, but because of this ending, it is destined to be laughed at by the world.
The so-called 500,000 army, in fact, there are at least more than 200,000 troops, as the enemy's Yanshi City defenders, the total number of zero and zero does not exceed 50,000, more than four to one ratio, it is just that such a small city has not been captured for nearly three consecutive days, and it was even rushed by the Bingzhou cavalry behind.
The princes in the middle army and even the princes in front, including Yuan Shao and others, couldn't see the scene behind clearly, only to see that Lu Bu, who should have killed a thousand knives, led a cavalry to create a red sea, and then shrouded the cavalry of the coalition army behind, and then saw that the cavalry of the coalition army who had not rushed far, among them, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong and the flamboyant cavalry, were inexplicably rushed and scattered, and fell backwards in an uproar, which directly led to a great chaos in the rear army. Moreover, Yuan Shao and others of the Chinese army did not have time to react and dispatch at all.
And then this is terrible, chaos is like a plague will be contagious, and the speed of transmission is very fast, but there is no progress in front, and the defenders of Yanshi City seem to see that the situation in the distance is a little abnormal, and rekindle their fighting spirit, the result is that they quickly resisted another shock wave of the coalition army, so that they were defeated again, and this time it was not as simple as Mingjin withdrawing troops, and the coalition army sadly found that they had a tendency to be flanked from front to back.
Lu Bu, who noticed this scene, had already led his subordinates to follow closely behind the herd and prepare to pick up the leak, "Next, it's completely up to us to take the initiative, kill!" ”
"Kill ......"
