Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 460 Invincible Fire Bull Formation
Chapter [-] The Invincible Fire Bull Formation
Just in the midst of the crisis, only the sound of thick and majestic drums came from the direction of Luoyang City, and a powerful force rushed out rumbled.

The general flag with "Qu Tu" written on one side fluttered in the cold wind, and Qu Tutong went out to fight.Li Yuan has already prepared two powerful deputies for Li Shimin, one is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty and the former famous general of the Sui Dynasty Qu Tutong, and the other is the rising star of the Tang Dynasty and the new army leader Chen Ying.

In fact, it is precisely because of Li Shimin's eagerness for quick success.So he didn't use Chen Ying and Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong, like Chen Ying, chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.Chen Ying led an army of more than [-] troops including the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right Siyu to reclaim wasteland and land in Henan Province, while Qu Tutong and Wang Shichong surrendered, Zhang Zhenzhou, Zhang Gongjin, Cui Shu, Yang Qing, Shi Derui and others surrendered , play chess, drink, chat.

As early as when Li Shimin was about to lead the Xuanjia cavalry to pursue "Wang Shichong" in person, Qu Tutong told Li Shimin faintly that it was enough to send a good general to pursue Wang Shichong, and he recommended Zhai Changsun and Hou Junji.However, Li Shimin's mind was full of great achievements in capturing Wang Shichong alive at the time, so he directly vetoed Qu Tutong's opinion.

But when the Longmen Canyon was on fire, Qu Tutong couldn't sit still.He hastily sent scouts to Longmen to investigate the situation, while summoning Shi Wanbao, Wang Junkuo, Huang Junhan and other generals.

When the scouts passed the news of Li Shimin's ambush in the Longmen Gorge to the Beiman Mountain Camp, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui were all shocked.Qu Tutong, who had been prepared for a long time, calmly ordered an army of [-] to rescue Qin Wang Li Shimin.

One hundred thousand troops came out in full force, and all the officers and men of the Zheng army standing on the city wall of Luoyang looked at Qu Tutong's banner with great attention. King Zheng Guoqi and Shang Shuling Wang Shiyun, who stayed behind in Luoyang, hurriedly sent messengers to inform Wang Shichong.

"Qu Tutong is out!"

Only a quarter of an hour later, the news reached Wang Shichong's ears. Wang Shichong sneered: "Has the old guy come out too? Good! Let him sacrifice the flag first! On the way to hell, let him play the vanguard for Li Shimin!"

Wang Shichong's ruthless words were accompanied by orders, but the battlefield changed irreversibly due to the appearance of Qu Tutong, but at the same time as Qu Tutong's appearance, the army tide surging southward under Qu Tutong's command was like It's like being cut off, the second half can't get in, but the front half can't get incremental support from the rear.

How could Wang Shichong not have expected that Qu Tutong would desperately seek help from Li Shimin?
But he was already prepared.

It is not accidental that Wang Shichong has today's status. He is very smart and proficient in the art of war.Just as Qu Tutong led the Tang army out of the Beimanshan camp, and arrived smoothly all the way around the west city wall of Luoyang. And the oilcloth strips have all been ignited.

These fire bulls all had sharp knives tied to their heads, and they also wore flails with sharp knives on their bodies.

These are more than [-] cattle that Wang Shichong gathered from the entire area around Luoyang.The formation of the Fire Bull Formation was the second gift Wang Shichong gave to Li Shimin.

These fire oxen are much more powerful than Tiandan's fire ox array in history. The farm ox at this time is simply a hedgehog covered with sharp blades.There are five sharp knives in the front corners, and six sharp knives hanging from three flails on the left and right wings. It is simply a huge hedgehog.

More than [-] farm cattle with their buttocks on fire rushed towards the Tang army like crazy.

Seeing these more than [-] fire oxen rushing out of Luoyang City, Qu Tutong closed his eyes in pain. He saw the beginning, but he had already guessed the end.More than [-] fire bulls are so rampant, how many of the [-] soldiers and horses under his command can win?

Changsun Wuji had never seen such a battle formation before. Although he was well trained in the city, he was a little horrified under the three thousand fire bulls rushing together: "Can we stop it?"

Fang Xuanling showed a wry smile. His composure was stronger than that of Changsun Wuji, and he could see it clearly. When there were five or six hundred steps away, the faces of the Tang army officers and soldiers showed deep fear. When facing the test of life and death , The quality of the soldiers will be fully revealed. Fang Xuanling noticed the panic of the soldiers of the Tang Army who were rushing to the front.

"These soldiers have not undergone strict collective training."

Fang Xuanling immediately made this judgment.

This is actually no wonder, as early as when Li Tangting entered the Guanzhong, the Tang army had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at first, but after joining Li Xiuning's trilogy, the total army was only about 15.After obtaining the three assistants, the Tang army's soldiers and horses broke through 6 horses, but with Li Shimin's defeat in Qianshuiyuan, the Tang army had less than [-] horses left.

However, Li Yuanji's defeat in Jinyang followed, and there were no more than ten of the old troops of the Tang army.Some of these Tang army soldiers have been in the army for no longer than two years, and some have been in the army for a short time, no more than a few months.If the morale is like a rainbow, individual panic.Covered by thousands of galloping horses, you can continue to rush forward for the time being, but what if you suffer a huge setback?

The answer is yes, under the impact of the fire ox array, the soldiers of the Tang Army suddenly became confused. Seeing three thousand fire oxen, carrying the momentum of thousands of horses galloping towards their faces, they will definitely form a kind of situation that they will be killed in a few seconds. The terrifying illusion of being trampled into meat by the hooves of the ox, the maximum impact of the charge of the fire ox array is not bumping, stepping or slashing, but it is scary!
Standing on the military chariot, Qu Tutong leaned forward and held onto the armrest in front of him with both hands. Due to too much force, Qu Tutong's knuckles turned white. It was obvious that he was also very nervous inside.

At this time, the three thousand fire bulls had already rushed closer, and the power of the galloping horses would double the psychological pressure every time they bullied them!

Qu Tutong also became short of breath, as if his heart was about to be crushed!
closer, closer, closer

The cattle roared desperately because of the pain, and the archers of the Tang army tried their best to shoot arrows towards the firepower, not knowing whether they could hit the fire cattle. The fear in my heart.

boom--

The fire bull finally hit it!The sharp knife on the fire bull's head pierced through the soldiers of the Tang army standing in front of them without any delay, and the huge impact directly knocked the soldiers of the Tang army into the air like cannonballs and flew upside down.Those Tang soldiers died without pain. When they flew upside down in the air, they had actually turned into corpses.

The fire ox rampaged, some smashed the shield, or broke the spear, some trampled the soldiers of the Tang army to death, and some directly trampled into flesh.

The sharp knife on the head on the back of the fire bull began to dance, as if it was like a meat grinder, devouring the soldiers of the Tang army.The blood was like pouring rain, splashing in the air, the white light quickly turned into patches of crimson, and the wind blew past, rushing towards everyone's nostrils with the smell of blood.

"The fire ox is coming, the fire ox is coming!"

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Tang army scurried around like headless flies.

Just after the fire bull formation, Wang Shiyun took Wang Shichong's remaining [-] soldiers and horses, and brazenly launched an attack on the [-] Tang army. In fact, at this time, Wang Shiyun was not fighting at all, but recklessly harvesting the lives of Tang army soldiers.

……

Xiyuan, Luoyang, used to be a group of palaces in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but time has passed, and the original majestic and magnificent palace group of the Northern Wei Dynasty has long been turned into a pile of tall loess mounds.Li Xiuning, who was standing on the loess pile, watched Zheng Jun slaying the soldiers of the Tang Army wantonly, her body was crumbling.

The whole night was non-stop, but at the end of the day, it was still a step late.A wave of powerlessness, a wave of despair surged into Li Xiuning's heart.Li Xiuning felt dark in front of her eyes, and fell forward to the ground.

However, Chen Ying had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and at this moment, he didn't care about being emotional, he stopped at courtesy, and hurriedly rushed to Li Xiuning, stretched out his strong arms, hugged Li Xiuning in his arms, and prevented Li Xiuning from falling to the ground in time.

Feeling soft in his arms, Chen Ying didn't think much about it at the moment, on the contrary, he was even more confused at this moment.There are records in history that because Li Shimin underestimated the enemy, he led 6000 cavalry to scout Wang Shichong's camp. Wang Shichong led more than [-] cavalry to rush forward, and the Tang army was besieged.Yuchi Jingde took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement with Li Shimin.With the cooperation of Qu Tutong's reinforcements, the Tang army returned to their horses and rushed into the enemy's formation. They rushed back and forth, beheaded more than a thousand enemies, captured [-] people, and captured Shichong champion general Chen Zhilue alive, winning the battle of Mangshan.

But at this time, the news that Chen Ying received was completely different.Not only was Li Shimin trapped in the Longmen Canyon more than [-] miles away, but the more than [-] Tang soldiers led by Qu Tutong were also defeated by Wang Shichong's army using the Fire Bull Formation.

At this time, the formation of the Tang army was completely chaotic. There were Tang army soldiers who were so frightened that they had no fighting intentions everywhere, and there were Zheng army cavalrymen who were slashing and killing Tang army frantically.

Chen Ying was having a hard time making a decision at this time. There were only five thousand exhausted hooked and sickle cavalry around him. After more than a hundred gallops, all the generals were exhausted. The army collapsed, and Li Shimin's life and death are still uncertain.Now Chen Ying's troops are too small, and there is no way to divide them. Whether to rescue Qu Tutong or Li Shimin, this is a dilemma.

When the Huoxu formation raided the Tang army's formation, Qu Tutong's troops were cut in two by the middle, and it was difficult to connect the end to the end.The fire ox rushed forward, and the cavalry led by Wang Shiyun followed behind. In just a quarter of an hour, at least [-] Tang soldiers were killed and tens of thousands were injured.

At this time, abandoning Qu Tuntong and going to rescue Li Shimin means that these [-] Tang soldiers will fall into a state of eternal doom. It's definitely not going well with Qu Tutong.

After careful consideration, Chen Ying decided to hand over the decision-making power to Li Xiuning and let Li Xiuning make the decision.

At this moment, Li Xiuning woke up leisurely.

Chen Ying asked anxiously: "San Niang, what should we do now?"

PS: So what, do you want Cui Geng?There are not many manuscripts, and there are three thousand.
