Chapter 354: Breaking the Fire Bull Formation

The more honest the person, the more terrifying it is to initiate a madness.

It's the same with cows, this kind of livestock is usually very gentle and harmless, but once it goes crazy, it is definitely more terrifying than the war horse out of control, thousands of buffalo go crazy together, the scene is unimaginable.

Cao Jun violently showed this killing move, and even Luo Zheng and others, who were watching the battle in the rear, were taken aback.

Although he had expected that Cao Jun must have hidden something, he never expected that it would be thousands of buffaloes.

Gao Shun was in front of the battle, his eyes were dignified, but more of him was calm and calm, and he was not alarmed, and immediately ordered the army to line up on the spot, and then issued another military order, "The hoplites are out of the queue and block the fire ox!" ”

"Yes!"

The commander in front of the formation did not hesitate at all, answered the order loudly, and crossed the formation with a full thousand hoplites.

At this time, the firewood on the backs of thousands of buffaloes in front of the Cao army had been ignited, and the frenzied buffalo kicked over many Cao soldiers, and under the drive of the Cao army, let go of their hooves and rushed towards the front of the Xiliang army.

It is conceivable that if these frenzied buffaloes are allowed to rush to the front of the formation, they will inevitably completely disrupt the military formation.

No one can stop the frantic running bulls, let alone thousands of them.

A whole thousand hoplites, under the leadership of the commander of the army, rushed down with a huge shield, wanting to use the giant shield and flesh to stop the armpit mad running bull, at the same time, the Xiliang army quickly lined up on the spot, without any chaos.

It's a bloody picture, stained red with blood.

The hoplites could hold off the cavalry's charge, but they couldn't stop the rushing hooves.

A thousand hoplites lasted less than half a column of incense before being broken through the line by thousands of running bulls. The soldiers were not knocked into the air by the frenzied rush, and were trampled into a pulp by the iron hooves of the running bulls. It was pierced through the body by the horns of the ox.

In front of the two armies, whether it was the Xiliang army or the Cao army. I saw it all cold.

In the rear of the Xiliang Army, Luo Zheng's face turned pale, and Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Cao Jun was behind, Guo Jia's face was also calm, and his heart was inexplicably heavy.

The adjutant general gasped and hissed: "Are these Xiliang soldiers really not afraid of death, they dare to shake the iron hooves of the bull with their flesh and blood, knowing that they will die, how can they still have the courage to rush forward?" ”

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Xiliang military regulations." Those who are afraid of the battle and retreat from the battle will be killed; Those who die on the battlefield will be rewarded. Instead of being beheaded for public display, it is better to die on the way to charge and leave meritorious deeds to sprout children and grandchildren. ”

The adjutant general couldn't help but scolded: "This military regulation is too cruel, everyone has people who are afraid of death, special conditions, in order to motivate soldiers to fight to the death." It's nothing to kill a few soldiers who are afraid of the battle, and it's a bit too cruel to form military regulations. ”

Guo Jia didn't say anything, some things can't be measured by right or wrong or even morality.

Soldiers, the country's major affairs!

Just a few words. It shows the essence and cruelty of war.

As long as victory can be achieved and the army is strong, it will be bright by any means.

Although the new rules of the Xiliang Army are very strict. But it is undeniable that this is the foundation of the strength of the Xiliang Army.

If it is replaced, it is Cao Jun. Guo Jia didn't dare to guarantee that the soldiers would rush forward and shake the head and iron hooves with flesh and blood.

This time. Thousands of crazy buffaloes rushed the defense line of the hoplites of the Xiliang Army, and continued to rush towards the main formation of the Xiliang Army, which was a hundred paces away.

Fortunately, thousands of hoplites did not sacrifice in vain, and successfully stopped the crazy naval army.

And after more than a dozen buffaloes were blocked, they turned around and rushed towards Cao Jun's main formation.

Hundreds of soldiers were killed by the collision and trampling, and the front army of the Cao army was kicked to pieces, and the more than a dozen buffaloes that went crazy were killed by the Cao army soldiers, and they quickly regrouped.

Soon, the frenzied buffalo rushed to within fifty paces of the Xiliang army.

At this time, a row of huge wooden boxes was pushed to the front of the battle by thousands of soldiers.

"What is this?"

Cao Jun Zhongjun, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly froze, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

A closer look at what looked like a huge wooden box, but with two wheels underneath, didn't look like a baggage cart or a grain truck, and I couldn't see any use for it.

The adjutant general said uncertainly: "It should be a kind of combat car!" ”

Guo Jia is not so optimistic, as early as the pre-Han Dynasty, the ancient thing of the chariot has been eliminated by the war, except for the infantry in the event of a surprise attack will use the baggage vehicle to arm, who will specialize in creating this kind of handicapped big guy.

After all, the tank is inflexible and can no longer adapt to the endless tactical needs.

It is impossible for the Xiliang Army to specialize in making a batch of vehicles to bring in the army, unless these big guys have other roles.

For some reason, Guo Jia felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In front of the Xiliang army.

"Shoot!"

Gao Shun raised his right arm and swung it down violently.

In the midst of a loud humming sound, a piercing sound pierced the sky.

Fifty ballista boxes shook violently, and a full five hundred wooden guns shot out violently, and the distance between each spear was no more than one meter, forming a dense killing range, keeping it level with the ground and shooting dozens of steps, fiercely penetrating the frenzied rushing buffalo herd, bringing up delicate blood flowers.

With an earth-shattering roar, the buffalo was pierced through the body by a wooden spear more than three paces away.

After rushing out of more than ten infantry, the buffalo that was shot through the body fell to the ground with a bang, but the vitality of these buffaloes is too amazing, these big guys have not been completely dead, and they are still mooing and roaring.

It is conceivable that if you switch to a bow and arrow, you can only shoot these buffaloes at most, and you will definitely not be able to shoot them to death.

Even the war horse, if it is not directly shot through the vital point, will not be killed instantly, let alone a buffalo.

Hundreds of buffaloes were shot through and fell to the ground, immediately blocking the buffaloes behind.

Given this obstacle, most of the buffaloes in the back immediately changed the direction, after all, these big guys are not controlled by people, once the road ahead is blocked, it is too normal to change the direction of the forward rush.

Most of the buffaloes rushed to the sides, and only a few were still rushing forward.

"This ......"

Cao Junzhongjun, the adjutant general's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a long time.

When did the Xiliang Army have such a sharp weapon, how did they not know.

This kind of new-style weapon was only hurriedly unveiled when blocking the Xianbei people, and at that time, the scouts and scouts of the other princes and the fine work could not be mixed on the battlefield, plus the secrecy of the Xiliang Army has been very good, so until today, Guo Jia did not know that there was such a terrifying weapon in the Xiliang Army, so he did not count this link.

If he had known that the Xiliang Army had such a terrifying weapon of war, Guo Jia would not have used the killer weapon lightly.

Although the lethality of these big guys is terrifying, Guo Jia can still see the flaws in them at a glance.

As long as you know in advance, there is still a way to deal with it.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

It was too time-consuming to load the ballista with wooden guns, the buffalo had already rushed to within fifty paces, and at this time it was too late to load the ballista, but fortunately, there were not many buffalo rushing over, only hundreds of cattle.

"Pikemen, out of line!"

Gao Shun waved his hand and gave a resolute order.

A thousand spearmen quickly crossed the line and met the hundreds of buffalo that rushed towards them.

Blocked by the ballista, the speed of the hundreds of buffalo that still rushed over had slowed down, and thousands of spearmen formed a fish-scale array to block layer by layer, and after paying more than 300 casualties, they finally killed all the crazy buffaloes.

"The former army listens to the order and defeats the Cao army!"

Gao Shun's eyes were condensed, and he waved his hand and ordered loudly.

In the sound of earth-shattering war drums, the front of the Xiliang Army quickly began to form a team on the spot, preparing to charge the Cao army again.

In the middle of the Cao Army, the deputy general said with an ugly face: "Military Division, the Fire Bull Formation has been broken." ”

Guo Jia's face had returned to normal, and he said lightly: "It's okay, this is also expected, if the mere Fire Bull Formation can also stump Luo Zheng, then Luo Zheng is not Luo Zheng, and it is impossible to lay today's foundation!" ”

The adjutant general hesitated: "The Xiliang army has been killed, do we want to retreat to the city?" ”

Guo Jia said casually: "No need, this fire bull array is just a surprise for Luo Zheng, the good show is still to come!" ”

The adjutant general's face changed several times, and he said in a condensed voice: "Military advisor, do you want to dig the river embankment now?" ”

Guo Jia looked at the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry lined up a mile away, and had no intention of attacking, and after a little thought, he said: "Wait a minute, although the main force of the Xiliang army has attacked, it has not yet been completely stuck with our army, once the embankment is dug, even if the 50,000 Xiliang infantry can be left, but the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry can withdraw from the battlefield at any time, wait and so on!" ”

The adjutant nodded and said nothing more.

The Xiliang Zhongjun saw that the fire bull array was broken, and Luo Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fa Zheng also wiped Han, and said with a sigh: "It turns out that the Cao army has set up a fire bull array, this secrecy is really good, if it weren't for the fact that our army's crossbow has not been discovered by the princes of all walks of life, it is not so easy to break this fire bull array today." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said: "Although this fire bull array is not difficult to break, but it is suddenly taken out at this time, it is indeed a little unprepared, Guo Ghost is indeed a good paragraph, it is hidden so deeply, it almost made General Ben plant a big heel!" ”

Jia Xu said with a solemn face at this time: "Lord, something is wrong!" ”

Luo Zheng was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know about it, but I just feel that something is not right." The importance of the Tiger Prison Pass is far from being comparable to that of the Fire Bull Formation. If you want to resist the lord's army with a mere fire bull formation, it is a fool's dream, let alone break the lord's army in a battle. Therefore, I think that this fire bull array should not be Guo Jia's ultimate killer weapon. ”

Luo Zheng was taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, his face immediately changed. (To be continued......)
