Chapter 247: Anti-guest-oriented
When the sun went down again, the moon didn't rise with it, and it was destined to be a pitch-black night, perfect for a sneak attack.
In Xiangyang City, more than 1,000 cows have been tied to their tails with cloth soaked in grease, and their horns are firmly tied with daggers or short swords.
When everything was ready, the mighty herd was driven out of Xiangyang City.
Of course, in this process, the oxen were not very cooperative, and dozens of soldiers were injured or trampled by the bulls, and a few were directly disemboweled.
Guo Meng led 5,000 soldiers and horses, followed behind the herd, thinking about the bloodshed that happened just now, his heart was still a little unhappy, but fortunately, now the herd finally successfully set up the posture of charging.
Guo Meng knows very well that the reason why Li Guanqi was able to win every battle was not only because he was full of wisdom, but also because he was very cautious.
Although he took the initiative to attack Xiangyang City this time, the night patrol and sentry will definitely not relax. With so many cattle suddenly appearing outside Xiangyang City, Li Guanqi's cavalry camp was also a few miles away from the city, and Li Guanqi would know in a moment that the defenders were going to use the fire ox array, and it was necessary to let the cattle start attacking during the time between the sentry reporting to Li Guanqi and Li Guanqi reacting.
Therefore, Guo Meng did not hesitate, and immediately gave the order to attack! The soldiers began to quickly light the ball of cloth on the tail of the ox with their torches. In a short time, the tails of more than 1,000 cows were all set on fire. The cow was driven by the flames behind its tail and rushed to Li Guanqi's camp a few miles away.
The earth shook as the cattle ran, and there was a loud roar, as if there was a thunder passing under the ground.
Following the herd, Guo Meng waved his hand. They also rushed with five thousand soldiers, but their shouts were drowned out by the sound of the herd, but this served to hide them.
When there was still more than a mile left from the camp of the Great Cadre Army, there was no warning signal from the camp tent opposite! Guo Meng's heart that had been hanging was put down, and this distance could be reached in the blink of an eye. It was too late for the Great Cadre Army to react at this time.
"It seems that I am too cautious! Li Guanqi is not as miraculous as the legend says! After tonight, he, the God of War Emperor, will completely step down from the altar, and he is the hero who defeated the God of War Emperor......" Guo Meng, who was riding on a war horse, began to turn over the river and the sea in his heart, since the outbreak of the war, Li Guanqi has not been defeated, and has already become a god-like existence, and the big guy has been fantasizing about how to defeat him while admiring.
A series ......of movements sounded, waking Guo Meng up from his reverie. It turned out that the first batch of fire oxen had broken through the wooden fence outside the Daqian military camp and rushed into the camp. The flames from the cattle set the wooden fence on fire......
Guo Meng was happy in his heart, but the smile had not yet climbed to his face, and his heart sank suddenly, because it stands to reason that there should be a big chaos in the camp of the Great Cadres now, but now there is no movement, and there is not a single scream......
"Could it be that Li Guanqi saw that Xiangyang City was difficult to capture, and had quietly withdrawn his troops? You're attacking an empty camp now? If that's the case. This fire bull array, which took a lot of effort to put together, is equivalent to working in vain! Guo Meng frowned and thought, "But." The siege of Xiangyang City has also been solved! I'm afraid, Li Guanqi didn't retreat at all, but had other conspiracies and tricks, waiting for him to send them to the door! ”
As soon as he thought of this, Guo Meng's cold sweat immediately fell, and he just wanted to order to stop the charge! I heard a loud "boom". The earth trembled, and a big trap had already been dug in the camp of the great cadres, and the oxen, who were running in front, suddenly fell into the deep ditch, and the sharp wooden stakes erected at the bottom pierced their strong bodies, but the vitality of the oxen was extremely strong. He was not killed immediately, but let out a heavy scream.
However, the loud noise just now was not the sound made when the pit was sinking, but a pile of iron balls behind the trap, of course, these iron balls no longer existed, but turned into a shining light and a deafening loud noise - this is Lei Zhenzi, except for the border army in the northern Xinjiang, only Li Guanqi's descendants have this object.
"Sure enough, I won the plan!" Guo Meng's brain "boomed", and suddenly his eyes went black!
Although the fire bulls with their tails lit rushed forward frantically in pain, they were first startled by the loud sound of the thunder shock, and then found that their companions in front of them suddenly fell into a huge trap.
Things have developed to this point, Guo Meng finally knows what he has been worried about - Li Guanqi knew in advance that the Shannan Army would use the Fire Ox Formation, and he had already formulated a countermeasure against this formation that was difficult to compete with manpower. The purpose is obvious, it is to deceive the Shannan army to go out of the city and fight with him in the field, because Li Guanqi's cavalry field ability is something that the Shannan army cannot catch up with no matter what.
Guo Meng really wanted to hurry back to the city now and ask Chen Guangxi who came up with the idea of this so-called Fire Bull Array, and he even suspected now that this Fire Bull Array was simply thought up by Li Guanqi himself, so he was able to prepare so well.
Guo Meng's guess is not bad at all, except for Li Guanqi's head full of quirky ideas, who else can think of this fire bull array? The reason why Li Guanqi dared to attack Xiangyang City with 10,000 cavalry was because he had already had a series of strategies.
Li Guanqi's first thought was to provoke the relationship between Chen Guangxi and Guo Meng, trying to use Chen Guangxi's hand to kill the best general in Xiangyang City. But he would never take it for granted that if Guo Meng died, Xiangyang City could be easily captured, after all, the number of defenders in Xiangyang City was ten times that of him.
How can one be ten? Li Guanqi has been thinking about this problem, at this time, he was inspired by a movie "Wuji" he had seen in his previous life, not to mention how the movie itself was, but there was a battle at the beginning of that movie, and it was also a ten, and as a result, the general in the movie used the herd to successfully defeat an enemy ten times his size.
Li Guanqi thought that this strategy was very useful, but he didn't have cattle, even if he had oxen, if the enemy didn't open the city gate, it would be impossible for the cattle to knock down the city wall directly. Therefore, he not only had to have a herd of running cattle, but also let Chen Guangxi obediently open the city gate by himself.
In the end, Li Guanqi decided that what he didn't have and what he couldn't do was all handed over to Chen Guangxi to prepare and put into practice. So, he secretly passed the "good strategy for breaking the enemy" of the Fire Bull Array to the intelligence department personnel in the city, and through the mouth of Chen Guangxi's henchmen who were bought, he let Chen Guangxi, who was already suspicious of Guo Meng, know.
