Chapter 327: The Artillery Truck Breaks the Army

Fire Bull Tactics!

Fifty or sixty years ago, it was famous all over the world.

Qi will collect more than 1,000 strong cattle in Jimo City, put on quilt clothes on the cow's body, draw colorful dragon texts, and tie the blade to the horn of the cow, fill the grease and bundle the reed at the tail, and burn its end with fire.

The oxtail was burned by the flames, and thousands of cattle angrily rushed to the Yan army outside the city at night, and where they passed, the Yan army suffered countless casualties, and Tian Dan attacked it with 5,000 people in the rear, and finally defeated the Yan army.

Since then, he has won successive battles, recovered more than 70 cities of the fallen Qi State, and revived the Qi State.

That battle shocked the world, and the name of the Fire Bull Array spread all over the world, which was shocking.

It's just that with the passage of time, almost sixty years have passed, and most of the people who lived through that era have died.

The name of the fire bull gradually fell silent.

Until now, nearly sixty years later, on the battlefield of the Qin and Chu armies south of Pengcheng in Chu.

The moo sound rang out again.

The flames scorched the oxtails, and dozens of strong cows roared in pain.

Although the cow was colorblind and was not provoked by red objects as many people thought, the red armor on Chu Jun's body actually had no effect on them.

But those dead soldiers of the Chu army who sang loud war songs and screamed and rushed towards them still attracted their hatred.

"With a long sword, the Qin bow ......"

The loud Chu Ge came to his face, as if provocative.

The leaping figures were moving targets.

Pain!

I want to hit someone!

Moo!

Dozens of strong oxen galloped wildly, moving their hooves, and their majestic bodies galloped wildly on the ground, just like the night when thousands of angry oxen charged 60 years ago.

"The first body is not ...... What's that! ”

"It's a cow!"

The Chu army's passionate and tragic war song came to an abrupt end in the moo.

Even those dead soldiers who were full of blood and had already prepared to fight the Qin army to the end, even if they were separated from their heads, they would never regret it, were stunned by the situation in front of them.

There was no imaginary rain of arrows in the sky, and there was no imaginary battle formation of the Qin army to greet each other, and dozens of fierce beasts burning with anger rushed towards them.

Adult oxen weigh at least hundreds of pounds, and the strong ones even weigh thousands of pounds, and they run wild with all their might in anger and pain, and the terrible impact is even more terrifying than when a horse chariot charges.

Not to mention the razor-sharp blades tied to their horns!

Rumble!

The distance of hundreds of meters is in the blink of an eye under the wild gallop of the angry bull.

In a miserable scream, the dead soldiers of the Chu army who rushed to the front were knocked into the air, and the unlucky ones were just pierced by the blade tied to the horns, and their bodies were hung by the horns, allowing the angry bull to rush forward and impact.

Dozens of angry cows, except for a very few who turned their heads to attack the Qin army in a frenzy and were killed by the Qin soldiers who had been prepared, most of the rest rushed into the oncoming Chu army formation.

At this moment, if you look down from the sky, you can see that the snake head of the red long snake is completely shattered by these angry beasts, and the long snake formation of the Chu army, which originally had an indomitable momentum, has completely turned into chaos.

The head of the snake was smashed.

The 1,000 dead men in front of them were either killed or wounded, or frightened, and instinctively dodged to both sides to avoid the collision of these angry beasts.

The soldiers in the rear tried in vain to resist these angry beasts with spears, but the angry strong bull was attacked and did not die, and became even more crazy and furious, mooing and mooing while jumping into the battle formation of the Chu army, kicking and sweeping, leaving only a scream everywhere it passed.

Just when the momentum of the Chu army was broken and the formation was completely chaotic.

After the fire bull rushed into battle, the Qin army's sharp soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, pressed up.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”

The soldiers of the Qin army sang their war songs, followed closely behind the fire ox, holding swords and spears, rushed into the Chu army that was disrupted by the fire ox, and slashed and attacked those Chu people who were full of terror.

The camp of the Chu army, the rear of a thousand dead soldiers and two thousand sharp soldiers.

Xiang Qu and Jing Tong, who were riding on horses and watching the command, were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

The loud and passionate Chu Ge was interrupted, and the sound of cow mooing was shocking.

Immediately followed by a miserable scream, the thousand dead soldiers who were originally selected by Xiang Qu as the sharp knife of the Chu army were scattered by the dozens of cattle before they could fight with the Qin army.

In addition to the casualties of the soldiers, the Chu army has lost all its sharpness, and the previous spirit of fighting to the death that was aroused has been broken.

And the Qin army, which was closely behind the fire ox, took the opportunity to pounce on it and kill frantically, killing all the dead soldiers of the Chu army who were frightened and chaotic.

What's even more terrifying is that the Chu army's assault failed at this moment, except for the one or two thousand people who rushed out of the pass in front, the rest of the people were all blocked in this narrow road that was more than ten miles long.

Even if the Chu army has more than 20,000 people, only the soldiers at the front can engage in the battle, and the people behind can only work in a hurry in this road less than ten meters wide, and they cannot deploy their troops at all.

At this time, those charging angry bulls had completely penetrated the Chu pawn line in front, although some of them were killed by the Chu people on the road, and some of them were rushing wildly in place, but there were still several of the most majestic bloody bulls, with red eyes, and rushed into the pass with a breath.

The Chu soldiers in the rear were frightened and angry, some raised their weapons in a vain attempt to resist, some were so frightened that they dodged to both sides, and the Chu people standing by the river were even pushed down the river by their own robes in panic.

"General, this is the old Tiandan fire bull plan! Zhao Tuo actually used this plan to break the heart and formation of our army! ”

Jing Tong looked frightened and shouted.

Xiang Qu's face was expressionless, he took the bow and arrow from the horse, pulled the string with the arrow, and suddenly shot an arrow, right in the middle of the eyes of a strong bull jumping in the crowd.

The cow screamed, stopped in its footsteps, and then was poked into its body by more than a dozen spears, and died tragically on the spot.

"General Wansheng!"

All the Chu soldiers shouted loudly, their morale rose slightly, and the angry bulls that rushed into the pass were all killed by the Chu army after making a fuss.

But the purpose of the Qin army has also been achieved.

Behind the fire ox, the soldiers of the Qin army, dressed in black armor, slaughtered the Chu soldiers who had fallen into chaos all the way, and finally arrived at the exit of the pass road, completely blocking the Chu people behind in this narrow road.

The soldiers on both sides fought hard at the intersection several meters wide, and one fell, and the soldiers in the rear made up for it, and there were more and more corpses on the ground.

Xiang Qu sat on his horse, looking ahead and shouting and killing, Qin Jun slowly squeezed towards the pass.

He glanced back at the long line of Chu troops behind him.

Seeing that most of the Chu soldiers at the back of the team looked frightened, they were obviously frightened by what happened in the front army.

According to the original plan of the Chu army, it was to prepare to use 1,000 dead soldiers as sharp knives to take the lead, and 2,000 sharp soldiers followed closely behind, rushing out of the pass road, tearing apart the Qin army's front, so that all the 20,000 Chu troops in the rear rushed out of the pass road to open up the formation and fight with the Qin army.

But now, the shouts and screams in front are endless, and the Chu army in the pass road is difficult to advance.

Coupled with the wailing of the Chu people and the terrible cow roar from time to time in front, the Chu soldiers in the back were demoralized a lot by Xiang Qu's bold words.

Even at the end of the line, someone had already rolled their eyes, ready to run away when they saw that the situation was not good.

"General, the Qin army used fire oxen to break our dead soldiers, and used soldiers to block our army in the pass. If this continues, our army has no chance of winning, as long as there are soldiers fleeing in panic, I am afraid that it will cause the danger of the whole army to disperse, it is better to let the front army withstand the front, and the general will lead the rear sergeants to slowly retreat, and still preserve a strength. ”

Jing Tong gritted his teeth and admonished.

This is a gecko's plan to cut off its tail, abandon the front army, and preserve the strength of the rear army, it is much better than the whole army to be defeated here.

Xiang Qu glanced at him and said indifferently: "As soon as the rear army retreats, will the soldiers in front still resist desperately?" ”

Jing Tong was speechless.

In the silence between the two, the situation changed and they no longer needed to make decisions.

Because something flew from the sky.

Rubble flew down from the sky, and thistles were thrown from the air like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden.

"What is this, my face!"

"Ah, there is a ...... in heaven Hiccup......"

……

The Chu soldiers screamed miserably, and countless foreign objects flew from the sky in the direction of the Qin army and fell into the middle of the Chu army.

Under that huge throwing force, even a small thing like an iron thistle terrestris contained a very terrifying penetrating power, and it fell on Chu Shu's body, even the thick leather armor was difficult to resist, and it was deeply pierced by it.

As for those who happened to look up to the sky, it was even worse, and the mouths and eyes of some unlucky people were directly inserted into the metal objects with sharp corners.

In addition, there are various fist-sized flying stone shots, which are even more powerful. It can be called the death of the middle head, and the injury of the middle body, once it is hit, it must be the end of broken bones and tendons.

Xiang Qu and Jing Tong even saw with their own eyes that a few meters in front of them, a Chu sergeant was just hit by a flying stone and died in the head, the scene was very terrifying.

"What is this, Qin Jun has witchcraft?"

Jing Tong was shocked, and even gave up thinking at this moment because of shock.

"It's a cannon......"

Xiang Qu gritted his teeth.

……

"It's a good cannon."

"Although compared to the siege cannon, the power is small, the range is short, and it is almost difficult to cause damage to the city wall, but it is really effective to hit such an immobile human target."

Zhao Tuo had already gotten off the high platform, got into his chariot, and approached the pass battlefield for some distance.

He stood on the car and saw that behind the Qin soldiers fighting at the exit of the pass, several small cannons with wheels were loaded with ammunition by Qin soldiers and craftsmen, and then shot at the Chu people who were blocked by the Qin army in the pass.

The countless flying stones and iron foreign bodies, flying over the two sergeants who were fighting at the crossing, fell straight into the middle of the Chu soldiers dozens of meters behind.

The bombardment of every artillery truck could cause a large number of screams and commotions in the Chu army.

That's a really good target.

Under normal conditions, the two armies face each other, and the enemy moves flexibly on the battlefield, and this kind of slow-moving artillery cart is actually difficult to hit, and its practicality is not high, which is equivalent to waste.

But in this situation of blocking the enemy in a road, the artillery is a kind of battlefield artifact, once launched, it is really a bullet, and it can cause very terrible damage to the enemy's soldiers.

And compared to the casualties, the blow to the enemy's morale is probably the deadliest.

……

"Flying stones from the sky, run!"

At this moment, the Chu army in the pass road had completely collapsed.

If it was just a bloody battle with the Qin people at the exit of the pass, they would still be able to accept it. But things like flying stones and thistles are too scary.

The Chu people in the back couldn't even see the face of the enemy in front of them, and they could be smashed in the head by stones flying from the sky at any time, and this result made people feel scared and frightened just thinking about it.

The previous fire bull rushed into battle to break the blood and sharpness of the Chu army, and the Qin army's blocking of the road and the shooting of flying stones falling from the sky completely crushed the morale and courage of the Chu army.

The Chu people no longer have the heart to fight.

With a shout, the Chu army in front of the pass road all collapsed, and countless Chu soldiers shouted and turned around and ran back.

One run, ten runs.

Ten runs, a hundred runs.

"General, let's go!"

Jing Tong's expression was in a hurry, the soldiers in front collapsed, and even if the soldiers in the back did not run, they would not be spared if they were rushed by the rout army that turned around in front.

The collapse of the Chu army is inevitable.

This battle is lost!

Xiang Qu sighed.

He looked in the direction of the exit of the pass, which was blocked by people, so that he could not see the young general riding in the chariot behind the Qin army.

But Xiang Qu still couldn't help but whisper: "Zhao Tuo, you won." ”

……

Behind the Qin army, above the chariot.

Zhao Tuo held the car and looked up.

Seeing the commotion erupting in the direction of the pass, the Qin soldiers let out an earth-shattering cheer and poured into the pass like a flood.

He knew that the victory was divided.

"The Chu army is defeated."

"Ah Juan, go and pass the order to Shima, after the defeat of the Chu army, let him lead the army to pursue while he is victorious, chase and kill all the way to the end, and annihilate the Chu people in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was cold, and before Lu Juan left, he added another sentence.

"I want Xiang Qu!"

Zhao Tuo's gaze looked at the direction of the rout of the Chu army.

He couldn't forget.

On the main hall of the Qin Palace two years ago, Xiang Qu had squeezed his hand.

There was a third watch in the evening, a little later, to end the battle.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Tian Dan": Tian Dan is to collect more than 1,000 cattle in the city, for the silk clothes, painted with colorful dragon text, the blade is tied to its horns, and the grease bundle reeds are at the tail, burning its end. Dozens of holes were dug in the city, cattle were ridden at night, and 5,000 strong men followed. The oxtail was hot, and he ran to the Yan army in anger, and the Yan army was frightened at night. The oxtail torch was bright and dazzling, and the Yan army regarded it as Longwen, and all the dead and wounded were touched. Five thousand people struck it because of the title, and the city clamoured from it, and the old and weak all struck the bronze for the sound, and the sound moved the heavens and the earth. The Yan army was horrified and defeated. The Qi people then razed and killed their generals. The Yan army was chaotic and rushed, and the Qi people chased the death to the north, and the cities they passed were all Yan and returned to Tiandan.
