Chapter 125
Fire Bull Formation and unexpected surprises
There was nothing wrong with Zhuanqu Yanshi's guess!
After all, the ten-day deadline is approaching. Although we have never received any news from Lu Qinghou, we know without thinking that the pressure on his side must be enormous!
Success or failure depends on this one move! Tonight, Liu Buqi will complete his victory in one fell swoop and put an end to this attack and defense of the Great Wall!
Therefore, today they must choose to attack the grassland barracks at night, but the protagonists of the sneak attack are not the Youzhou soldiers, but the 20,000 oxen prepared in advance by Zhang Ruoxu!
As night fell, bonfires began to light up in the grassland camp. Although it was a little strange why the Youzhou army camp was so dark, most of the grassland soldiers and generals still sat around the bonfires to keep warm as usual!
Suddenly, bursts of firecrackers rang out, accompanied by countless flames rushing towards the grassland camp, before the grassland people could see clearly what was going on!
A feeling of earth-shaking came over me, and a black shadow rushed out from the darkness, knocking down several grassland soldiers!
Just as everyone realized that the black shadow was actually a sturdy plowing ox, they felt that countless similar black shadows rushed out from the darkness. Most people were pushed into the air before they could escape, and after falling down, they were trampled by countless oxen's hooves!
Since only the campfire was lit, the oxen's mouths were tightly tied with ropes. The feeling of difficulty breathing made them anxiously search for humans near the fire! However, the torture of firecrackers behind them made them extremely crazy!
Twenty thousand oxen, daggers strapped to their horns and long knives slung across their backs, wreaked havoc on the grassland camp! The flames erupting behind them ignited the nearby cow and sheep hide tents!
For a moment, the entire grassland camp was filled with screams and flames shot into the sky!
At the end of the camp, Zhuanqu Yanshi, who was camping near the gap in the Great Wall, looked at everything in front of him in confusion!
If the personal guards had not fought desperately to kill a few oxen that had strayed here, I'm afraid even this tent would have been set on fire!
Almost all the defenses of the entire camp were destroyed by the oxen! Fortunately, after wreaking havoc for a while, these oxen slowed down their pace due to excessive exercise, and were killed by the grassland soldiers who came to their senses in groups of three or five!
An hour later, the disaster caused by the blazing bull finally subsided! However, more than half of the tents in the grassland camp had been destroyed, countless people were killed or injured, and even the food they relied on for survival had been set on fire by an ox that had accidentally struck them!
The war horses were driven by the oxen and the firelight to flee the barracks, and scattered within a radius of dozens of miles waiting for the knights' call!
But Zhuanqu Yanshi was not happy at all! The horse-tripping ropes, chevaux de frise, and horse-tackling spikes scattered throughout the camp were all "enjoyed" by the rampaging herd of oxen!
The grassland camp is now almost naked and exposed. The remaining soldiers are still in shock and can’t find their own soldiers because they are hiding everywhere from the oxen.
There was no way Liu Buqi would let this opportunity go! He had been defeated by her again! And even with such a huge advantage!
We must evacuate. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid that this grassland detachment will all be lost here! Zhuanqu Yanshi tried his best to gather the soldiers and generals around him, but it was obviously too late!
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the black Yanjing cavalry, waving the Youzhou Canglang flag, rushed out from the darkness and wantonly reaped the lives of the grassland soldiers!
Soon, the infantry also joined this one-sided battle!
Everyone knows that the grassland army is doomed at this point!
Fortunately, the gap in the Great Wall was still in their hands! Zhuanqu Yanshi gathered the soldiers and generals that he could see and fled from the gap one after another. The remaining grassland army also fled here!
Even though the narrow passage has been widened to more than 40 meters, it is still far from enough for the thousands of troops!
Under the stimulation of life and death, countless grassland soldiers rushed in and trampled on each other, trying to break out of the Great Wall!
Zhuanqu Yanshi, who had already rushed out of the Great Wall, looked at the horrific scene in front of him with a deathly pale face, and hurriedly ordered the guards around him to step forward and command the evacuation!
At this time, there were also countless grassland soldiers on the Great Wall who were frantically fleeing from the Great Wall!
The last time the grassland people were driven out of the Great Wall was just a few days ago, and the scene of them being stranded at the Great Wall with nowhere to escape is still fresh in our minds!
Soon, Zhuanqu Yanshi gathered tens of thousands of grassland soldiers who had escaped from the Great Wall!
Panic is not enough to describe their state at this moment, if it were not for Zhuanqu Yanshi who was still firmly waiting at a place just an arrow's distance from the Great Wall for the breakout forces to arrive and gather!
I'm afraid these soldiers will scatter and flee!
Seeing that the number of grassland soldiers breaking out was decreasing, Zhuanqu Yanshi finally ordered his guards to charge towards the gap in the Great Wall.
These guards arrived at the big pit at the gap easily before the defenders of the Great Wall had time to reclaim the captured wall, and threw torches directly into it!
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky! It turned out that Zhuanqu Yanshi had not ordered the large pit dug by the Youzhou army to be filled up, but instead piled a large amount of flammable materials inside!
It was originally intended to be used in case of emergency, to defend against the Youzhou cavalry rushing out of the exit! I never thought it would be used after such a tragic outcome!
At this time, there were still many scattered grassland soldiers inside the Great Wall, and Zhuanqu Yanshi could not imagine the fate that awaited them!
Liu Buqi slowly climbed up the city wall again under the admiring gazes of the soldiers around her. She was also extremely excited!
After this battle, it would be impossible for the grassland to organize an effective attack in a short period of time, and he could also free up his hands to deal with threats from within the empire!
Of course, before that, there was still one thing to do! Did Zhuanqu Yanshi think that by blocking the gap, she could safely return to the heart of the grassland?
"dream!"
Liu Buqi was at the highest point of the Great Wall, gazing at the woman in the distance who was still wrapped up and whose face could not be seen. He swung his left hand horizontally across his neck in an unusually ostentatious manner!
This is a throat-slitting ceremony!
Although Zhuanqu Yanshi didn't understand what this meant, Liu Buqi's provocative intention was already very obvious!
She snorted coldly, "Liu Buqi, next time! I will definitely be the winner!" But the sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance shattered her unwillingness!
A cavalry force of perhaps a thousand or so suddenly appeared in the sight of the remaining soldiers on the grassland! Leading them was none other than Xiao Junzi! This was the big surprise Liu Buqi had prepared for Zhuanqu Yanshi!
The only time Guan Ying and Xiao Junzi went out of the city to attack the grassland and retreat, Xiao Junzi took a thousand cavalrymen and broke away from the main group, hiding nearby!
These few thousand cavalrymen would be nothing on a normal day, but at this moment and in this place, it would be a nightmare that the Zhuanqu Yan clan of the grassland would not dare to think about for some time to come!
At this moment, Liu Buqi's surprise arrived as promised!
