What came into the bald-headed ghost's view was a dense herd of cattle.
Two gleaming sharp knives were tied to the head of each bull's horn.
Judging by its size, it must be at least one or two thousand cattle.
Not only was the bald-headed ghost Li stunned, but even Yuchi Jiong, who was fiercely attacking the city, was dumbfounded.
When did the Han army acquire so many oxen?
Moreover, what are all these cows up to?
Whether it was Geng Chun of Juyan City, Tuoba Guili who led 10,000 Xianbei cavalry to intercept them, or Yuchi Jiong who was attacking the city, they were all utterly shocked by the scene before them.
Who exactly is this suddenly appearing force?
What is their purpose in bringing so many fierce bulls here?
ignition!
The general wearing the ghost mask roared, and the more than two thousand soldiers behind him who were driving the cattle waved their tinderboxes, setting the dry grass behind the tails of each cow on fire.
boom!
The tails of more than a thousand bulls were set ablaze, and they suddenly became restless and agitated.
Flames leaped up, burning the bulls' rumps and tails. The searing pain drove the bulls mad.
They all took off galloping forward.
Instantly, a frenzied bull rush swept through the area.
The first to suffer were the 10,000 bald-headed demons who came to their aid.
When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail!
These 10,000 Xianbei cavalrymen were originally there to intercept the Han soldiers who had suddenly appeared.
But when they discovered they were facing more than a thousand cavalry, they immediately burst into mockery, deeming them easily defeated and filled with contempt.
But then they discovered that behind the thousand-plus cavalrymen were more than a thousand wild bulls in a frenzied state, and they immediately became extremely panicked.
These thousand bulls, their tails singed by the flames, were already restless and charged madly at the enemy army opposite them.
No matter how many soldiers were on horseback, to these mad bulls they seemed like mere objects to be vented on.
Boom boom boom!
Ahhh!
The cattle herd charged into the sudden and swift formation with unstoppable force, even affecting Yuchi Jiong's attacking formation.
Bald Ghost Li never expected that the enemy would use a fire ox formation to charge his cavalry.
One by one, the warhorses were either stabbed over by the sharp knives on the bulls' horns or smashed to pieces by the raging herd.
In less than half an hour, the 10,000 Xianbei cavalrymen who came to intercept the Han army were slaughtered by the frenzied herd of cattle, and were routed.
Even shooting arrows at these mad bulls relentlessly was completely ineffective against the tough-skinned herd.
They were riddled with arrows, yet their speed of attack remained undiminished.
Even more deadly was that the leader of the thousand cavalrymen, a general wearing a ghost mask and wielding a long sword, charged left and right through the bald-haired ghost-like cavalry that had been battered to pieces.
Wherever he went, the intimidating presence of the ghost mask made the enemy soldiers who faced him tremble with fear.
Every soldier and general who faced this mask was utterly terrified.
Within an hour, Bald Ghost Li's 10,000 cavalrymen were routed by the fire ox formation and the intimidation of the Ghost-Faced General.
Countless soldiers fell from their horses, and countless warhorses were overturned by herds of cattle with flames erupting from their rumps.
Countless soldiers were also sent flying into the air by bull horns with sharp blades attached.
Countless soldiers fell from their horses and were trampled to pieces by the iron-hard hooves of the oxen.
More than two thousand oxen, with sharp knives tied to their horns and flames rising from their rumps, pushed aside everything that stood in their way, as if they were plowing a wheat field.
The bald-headed ghost was dumbfounded.
The cunning Han people actually used oxen, which they revered as gods, to charge into battle.
The herd of cattle, driven mad, was unstoppable and swept everything in its path.
His ten thousand cavalrymen, as if their heads had been shaved, plowed out deep furrows one after another.
It is unknown how many soldiers died in this man-made disaster, or how many warhorses were overturned by mad bulls.
On the vast battlefield, besides the herd of bulls charging forward, there were only a thousand cavalrymen led by the Ghost-Faced General, who were only there to finish off the enemies who had been killed by the mad bulls.
They cut through the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, and Niu Qun also charged recklessly behind Yuchi Jiong's 6,000 soldiers attacking the city.
Faced with these mad bulls, Yuchi Jiong was helpless and could only let them keep charging at his soldiers.
Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed, Yuchi Jiong's soldiers have also become the dead under the hooves of cattle.
Even more deadly was that Yuchi Jiong's soldiers were all wearing red undershirts, which made them easy targets for the mad bulls.
Needless to say, most of the 6,000 infantrymen were killed in such an attack.
Wherever the mad bull went, only a pile of minced meat remained.
"This newly arrived coach is absolutely a genius!"
Geng Chun exclaimed sincerely, "Back in the day, even Tian Dan of Qi was probably no better than this."
He had already seen the Han army that was coming to his aid, which numbered no more than two or three thousand.
These soldiers all looked like civilians temporarily conscripted for the war.
In this day and age, which colleague, comrade, or ordinary soldier can still maintain that original aspiration?
He led these soldiers, who appeared to be in their initial stages of formation, to relieve the siege of Juyan City by the foreign tribes.
"This general is surely a role model for us all, deserving our utmost respect and worship. After this battle, he should be honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
Geng Chun was deeply moved. His long sword, like a venomous snake, slashed down the terrified Xianbei soldiers in front of him.
On the walls of Juyan City, outside the city, the Xianbei people had been overwhelmingly dominating the city. However, the situation reversed after a thousand cavalrymen appeared, led by a group of fire oxen and a general wearing a ghost mask.
The six thousand troops of Yuchi Jiong who participated in the attack on the city, as well as the ten thousand cavalry who came from ten miles away to support Tuoba Guili, were suddenly attacked by a thousand cavalry and two thousand cattle whose tails were tied with straw and set on fire. The crazy cattle herd swept over the soldiers and generals, and the generals did not know what soldiers were.
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields!
Bald Ghost Li and Yuchi Jiong were dumbfounded.
For a moment, no way could be thought of to stop such a frenzied herd of cattle.
"Chief, we can't hold on any longer. How can their bulls be so ferocious?"
"Yes, chieftain, my small tribe only has a thousand riders, and more than 500 of them have already been scattered and killed!"
"......"
Faced with the complaints of his soldiers, Bald-haired Ghost Li and Yuchi Jiong were dumbfounded and speechless.
Further away, Yu Chi Gu seemed oblivious to the dangerous situation that Tuoba Guili and Yu Chi Jiong were currently in, still brimming with confidence and unaware of the danger they were facing.
He envisioned that after Yuchi Jiong captured Juyan City, his next step would be to lead his troops across the Ruoshui River Valley, march to the walls of Zhangye City, and force the governor of Zhangye to kneel and surrender.
The countless women and wealth of the Hexi Corridor are at their disposal.
But reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
In the blink of an eye, these one or two thousand fire oxen overwhelmed the densely packed cavalry of Bald Ghost Li and killed many of Yuchi Jiong's outer retinue.
After overcoming two groups of obstacles, they successfully broke through the Xianbei army outside Juyan City and headed towards Yuchi Gu, which was ten miles away.
