Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 409: Lu Feiyan casts the Fire Ox Array

A young general ran to Xiao Sheng's camp in a panic and knelt on the ground to report: "General Qiyu, a large number of cattle have suddenly appeared in Shaheba, and the enemy seems to have the intention of conquering Shaheba. ”

Xiao Sheng was drunk, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly threw away the wine glass and asked, "What? The herd? Why is it the herd and not the enemy? Are you sure the news is true?" He didn't know if he had drunk too much or if the general had said something wrong!

"Returning to General Xiao, it is indeed a herd. Tens of thousands of livestock are frantically flocking to the Shahe Dam. The little one was born in a herdsman's family and was familiar with the sounds of cows. Whether it's a person or a cow will be able to tell the difference!"

Xiao Sheng didn't expect that the Black Dragon Army would make the decision to attack so quickly. The Mobei reinforcements have not yet arrived, once they break through the ambush of the Shahe Dam, they will inevitably confront Damuti head-on, the strength of the Black Dragon Army should not be underestimated, this time it will be a bloody battle. Although he had set up a lot of ambushes, the appearance of the herd had to make him curious. So he picked up his weapon and said to the young general: "You go and tell the front quickly, you must defend the Shahe Dam to the death, and you must not let a fly fly over." I went to wake up the brethren, and then I came. ”

On the road of dozens of miles of Shaheba, a cloud of yellow sand is sweeping at the speed of the wind. More than 10,000 wild cows were burning with flames, and they were rushing towards Xiao Sheng's camp in panic. Their horns are tied with sharp blades, and their tails are tied with grease-stained reeds. The reeds burned with fire, and the more than 10,000 fires were like sparks in the carbon bushes, shining in the rolling yellow sand.

'-Stuffy!' the herd howled and sprinted forward, pouring like a torrent into the narrow channel. The road was dusty for four or five miles, and the fire was blazing. Clarity sparks burn the sand and gravel, and the yellow sand flies. The ambush soldiers along the Shahe Dam received Xiao Sheng's order and immediately escaped from the sand and shot a rain of thousands of arrows......

The rain of arrows was dense and overwhelming. Unexpectedly, those cattle were tied to the iron armor and bronze clothes worn by the soldiers. Although the small bamboo arrow is sharp, it is not easy to penetrate the iron armor. Most of them hit the back of the cow, were ejected for several meters, and smashed a few sparks, without any lethal power.

Lu Feiyan's cleverness was to let the soldiers rush to make the ox armor overnight to maximize the defense of the fire bull array. After all, the trade route of Shaheba is twenty miles long, and if the cattle are intercepted and killed halfway, they will fall short and lose all their previous achievements. Success is a matter of detail, and she has to think about it carefully.

Seeing that this method was ineffective, Xiao Sheng's ambush army could only rush out of the high ground one after another, wielding halberds to forcibly stop the cattle. Not only are the bulls extremely powerful, but the steel knives tied to the horns are very sharp. The brutes who burned their butts rushed into those ambushes like crazy. The sharp blades on the horns cut through the robes of the ambushed army and swept off their heads. In less than a stick of incense, the cattle had already killed half of the enemy and approached Xiao Sheng's position.

Xian'er led 5,000 sturdy soldiers and followed behind the fire ox. The fire bull went straight to the Xiao army in front of him in a rage, and the five thousand strong men followed quietly and silently behind. Xiao Sheng saw that a group of firelights had broken through the level and would soon approach. Immediately ordered tens of thousands of troops to heighten their vigilance and prepare for battle.

The whole staff of the Xiao family army was in turmoil, the herald of the order, and the platoon of the troops. The trumpets sounded urgently, the war drums rang out, and the shouts merged into an earth-shattering sound, as if only to deter the enemy. However, how could the oncoming herd know the rhythm of the music? They were smoky and in pain, and when they heard the sound of the drums in front of them, they were even more frightened and went crazy, and they desperately buried their heads in the group, and rushed forward with bright and bright horns.

Xiao Sheng ordered Chariot Nu to be on standby urgently. At the sound of an order, countless javelins were shot from the giant crossbow. The power of a chariot crossbow is obviously not equal to that of a bow and arrow. The heavy javelin pierced the iron armor with ease. The herd was instantly blocked by the powerful attack in front of them, and the moment the herd in front fell, the sharp blades on the horns cut through the hooves of the cattle flying next to them. The successive collisions in the rear caused the herd to accumulate at the pass and lose its combat effectiveness.

The cattle kept pushing and shoving, and the cattle died one by one. Within two moments, the carcass of the wild cow was piled up into a high ground, blocking the exit of the Shahe Dam like a barrier, and became a fishy mountain of corpses. Fortunately, the ambush army along the entire Shahe Dam has been swept away by the herd, and the five thousand essence armor brought by Xian'er hid behind the herd and shot rockets. In an instant, clusters of torches rushed into the night sky from behind the herd.

Xiao Sheng saw the flames flying in the sky, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, quickly retreat, the fire arrow is coming, it is important to save your life!" He quickly evacuated the soldiers, and the array changed from the previous tight to loose. They dodged the fire and retreated to the rear. Before he could think about it, after a few rounds of fire arrows, the Black Dragon Army suddenly stopped moving......

Xiao Sheng immediately observed: "Strange, why didn't they move? Obviously they had already broken through the Shahe Dam, so they gave up after just a few rounds of fire arrows?" He was very puzzled, looked at the wingmen beside him, and asked them, "How many people are coming from the enemy?"

One of the generals said, "I don't know, but counting the number of those fire arrows, the archers are at least about 5,000." ”

"-Five thousand?" Xiao Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Since the number of enemy troops is only about five thousand, what are we afraid of? With our tens of thousands of troops, we can bury them in the Shahe Dam in one go. ”

The general reminded: "General, if there are about 5,000 archers, it does not mean that there are no reinforcements in their rear. The Black Dragon Army is brave and good at fighting, if there are a large number of elite soldiers behind the archers, will we not face a fierce battle? The last general suggested that it is better to send 5,000 infantry to explore the way first, and if the enemy only has 5,000 archers, they can be annihilated in one fell swoop. If the enemy forces are huge, we can change our strategy in time!"

"Okay! Just do as you say! Send the order and quickly mobilize 5,000 infantry to serve as the vanguard. ”

Xiao Sheng used 5,000 infantry to throw stones to ask for directions. Unexpectedly, as they expected, there were only about 5,000 soldiers behind the barrier formed by the accumulation of dead and wounded cattle. Five thousand against five thousand, the two sides started a crazy fight at the checkpoint of Shaheba. Through the corpses of those mad cows, Xiao Sheng couldn't watch the battle.

But what has been determined is that the Black Dragon Army did indeed only dispatch 5,000 elite soldiers. The disparity in strength gave him the confidence to win, and he laughed at the opponent for being too light: "Hahaha, they must have seen us lose two games in a row and thought we were easy to bully." If you want to take 5,000 archers to compete with me, it's like a mantis arm. It seems that we will definitely win this battle of Shaheba, not that we are strong, but that you are too blind to β€”β€” no one to come?

With an order, Xiao Sheng's army frantically crossed the barrier of the herd, and swept Huo Huo to kill strongly. Xian'er saw that Xiao Sheng had been tricked into luring the enemy into depth, and immediately followed the order given by Damuti, feigned defeat and retreated from the original road of Shaheba.

Damuti and Lu Feiyan used 5,000 archers as bait to lead Xiao Sheng's army into the hinterland of Shaheba. When the cattle swept away Xiao Sheng's ambush, Damuti and Lu Feiyan had already brought more than 10,000 people each and re-ambushed on both sides of the Shahe Dam. Xian'er led 5,000 baits to provoke Xiao Sheng, and Xiao Sheng would inevitably confront Xian'er head-on in order to defend the Shaheba checkpoint. Xian'er's defeat just fueled Xiao Sheng's desire to win.

Xiao Sheng looked at the five thousand archers led by Xian'er, who died and fled. The joy of victory overwhelmed him, and he happily ordered the soldiers: "The enemy has been defeated, take the enemy generals quickly, and bury them all in Shaheba!"

Xiao Sheng's army was ordered, and they frantically encircled and chased and killed. Xian'er led a few thousand people to a frantic retreat on the narrow passage road, leading Xiao Sheng's army to the ambush site.

'......

The dense fire arrows in the air fired at Xiao Sheng's army from both sides of the Shahe Dam. Xiao Sheng saw that countless fires flew out of the sky above his head, and his face turned green with fright, and he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers around him: "Lie downβ€”β€” there is an ambush, we have a plan......!"

The soldiers hurriedly lay down on the sand to avoid the attack of arrows. The soldiers who had been hit by the arrows kept rolling on the sand in an attempt to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Anyway, the fire arrows were soaked in oil, and even if they could be crushed, they would inevitably burn the flesh and skin of the soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Sheng got up and shouted: "Retreat quickly!

He had just confidently let his soldiers chase after him, vowing to annihilate the enemy at Shahe Dam. But now it's making everyone retreat frantically. Who would have thought that Xiao Sheng would be so unreliable, and what he said would change day by day. When preparing for battle, he can also quickly give his orders to the ears of each soldier. However, at this time, the soldiers were all rolling in the sand and crawling on the ground, so how could Xiao Sheng's words be conveyed quickly? In the absence of war drums, this was indeed a difficult problem.

However, Damuti's battlefield experience, coupled with Lu Feiyan's meticulousness. The two had already expected that Xiao Sheng would flee in the wilderness, so they set up ambushes at both ends of the Shahe Dam to block their way. The sheep intestine trail really became the sheep's intestines, and Xiao Sheng's army was trapped in the narrow sheep intestines, which were gradually 'digested'.

He didn't expect Damuti's strategy to be so thorough, the fire bull broke through his ambush, and five thousand people lured him back here, but they occupied the high ground, set up an ambush, and trapped themselves in the intestines of the sheep. Seeing the tens of thousands of soldiers around him being ruthlessly slaughtered, crying and screaming one after another, he began to despair......

At this time, Damuti's figure appeared in front of Xiao Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, you are a sinner in the Western Regions! Last time I let you escape from Shengjie Mountain, it was my carelessness! This time, don't expect anyone to save you, tomorrow will be your death." Don't be fearless anymore, you're at the end of your rope. ”

"Hahahaha......" Xiao Sheng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Damuti, why don't you do it here?

"It's up to me to decide when to kill you! You have betrayed the Western Regions, instigated rebellion, spread rumors and smeared against me, and deceived those ignorant people. If you are allowed to die so quietly, it will be too cheap for you! I will let everyone know about your crimes, so that you will never be able to bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"Hmph, since you are cornered, I will not let you succeed!" With that, Xiao Sheng pulled out his saber and wiped it around his neck. The moment the knife fell to the ground, he fell to the ground with it......

He glared at Damuti with resentful eyes and began to twitch on the ground. In addition to the desperation of the hero's end in his eyes, there is also a trace of stubborn smile. I'd rather die than fulfill Damuti, and even less willing to make a clarification for her. Because he knew he was wrong, completely wrong! This kind of mistake cannot be remedied in any way.

Damuti didn't expect Xiao Sheng to do things so extremely, and he was obsessed with a wrong choice and did not regret it. Although he was innocent, he also lost an opportunity to clarify the facts to the people of the Western Regions. She looked at Xiao Sheng and lost her breath, and her mood was extremely complicated......

Suddenly, a soldier behind him came to report: "Oh no, five miles away, suddenly Mingjin, it seems that tens of thousands of enemy troops are killing Shahe Dam......

"β€”what? who is it?" Damuti knew that Xiao Sheng still had remnants of his troops in the Ansai Imperial City. But as soon as Xiao Sheng died, those imperial city armies should not act rashly. After all, Xiao Sheng is a veteran of the Western Regions, and as a native of the Western Regions, he has the ability to lead the army of the Western Regions. But except for Xiao Sheng and Condensing Incense, no one can order the soldiers of the Western Regions to work for him. Tens of thousands of troops suddenly came towards Shahe Dam, and they must have come at themselves. Could it be that it is a martial arts sect?
