The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

() Five hundred horses were unsaddled and lined up. In order to maximize the impact, the horses were divided into three echelons to charge. After all, the Song Army's defense area is relatively narrow, and only dozens of people can be allowed to contact the enemy. Several war horses set foot on the front of the fortification at the same time. If too many horses are driven away at once, it is difficult to guarantee that these crowded horses will not turn around and recoil from both sides.レ♠Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

All the preparations were done, Li Ningming gave an order, and at the same time the first batch of more than 150 war horses were stabbed fiercely on the big fat buttocks. On the horse's buttocks; the war horse panicked, let out a series of mournful hisses, spread its hooves and galloped, and went straight to the Song Army's fortifications in front.

The distance of two to three hundred steps between the two armies was nothing at all. In the blink of an eye, Crazy Horse had already stepped onto the pile of corpses piled up in front of the Song army. Flesh and blood flew across the ground, and the ground was soaked into a soft layer. Dozens of war horses stumbled one after another and rolled in front of the formation with a mournful hiss, setting off waves of blood and red sand all over the sky.

After consuming dozens of war horses, the remaining one hundred crazy horses successfully set foot on the fortifications of the Song army. The cart piled up with mud was several feet high, and the horses were like suicide attack fighter planes. One after another, the horses slammed into the fortifications, smashing the whole fortification into pieces; these horses were all broken and fractured, and even the horses and carts slid towards the crowd of Song soldiers, and a large number of them were crushed.

The formation of the Song army was in chaos, and after the fortifications were opened, the second batch of more than a hundred crazy horses came one after another. The Song army could not take a breath, and the thunderous hoofbeats rolled over everyone's hearts again. The remaining precious arrows were shot out, killing most of the horses on the way, and dozens of them still rushed into the Song army's formation, causing a large area of ​​trampling and killing.

"Lord Su, what should we do? Come up with a solution." Di Qing yelled loudly as he swung his knife and split two grinning mad horses rushing towards him in half.

Su Jin shouted repeatedly: "Where is Wang Lang?"

Wang Lang got out from under a large cart, his body was covered in blood and sand, his hat was tilted to one side, and he said repeatedly: "The humble job is here, the humble job is here."

Su Jin asked hurriedly: "How many animals are left for our carts?"

Wang Lang said hoarsely, "There are still fifty cattle and hundreds of mules behind."

Su Jin said without hesitation: "Hurry up and catch up, and bring the last few barrels of kerosene with you."

Wang Lang didn't know, so he went in. Before he could find out, Su Jin scolded: "You motherfucker, why don't you go quickly, why are you standing there?"

Wang Lang hurriedly ran to the mountain road outside the valley, Su Jin turned his head and shouted: "All retreat fifty steps to set up a second fortification. The archers shoot all their arrows. Be sure to shoot Crazy Horse in front of you!" on the way."

Everyone moved quickly. Except for a few hundred archers who stayed where they were and fired arrows, the rest quickly retreated and overturned the cart to the ground closer to the entrance of Yingzui Cliff, barely forming a second line of defense.

The third batch of 150 war horses rushed forward frantically, and the archers shot their arrows from a distance. When the quiver was exhausted, they managed to kill this group of suicide attacks in the middle of the road.

The damage and impact caused by the crazy charge of five hundred crazy horses was really not small. In addition to destroying the first line of defense, it also crushed and injured seventy or eighty soldiers. More importantly, it exhausted the Song army. All the bows and arrows that were originally used to deal with people, not these beasts.

Li Ningming laughed loudly. This effect was exactly what he wanted to see, but the only dissatisfaction was that the original estimate was insufficient. The five hundred war horses did not completely destroy the Song Army's defense line, and the Song Army was clearly organized. Withdrew, and set up a second simple line of defense.

"The plan has changed. The infantry has suspended the attack. The prince wants to see how many rounds the Song army can last. General Yeli and General Wuzang will immediately release another [-] horses. This time, the Song army will be crushed to pieces."

"The last general obeys." Nori Xianzong and Wu Zangming were also very excited. Although the horses are precious, they don't need to go up and fight to see the soldiers of the Song Dynasty turn their backs. This feeling is like a cat playing with a mouse. It was cool; the two shouted repeatedly, and quickly pulled out another five hundred horses.

The same scene was repeated again, this time the [-] horses were no longer divided into batches, so as not to let the Song army have a chance to breathe, the sound of hoofs was rumbling, and countless dust and sand were raised, and the crazy horses were too late to take off the saddle. The horses, like a fierce torrent, went straight to the enemy's position.

Li Ningming squinted his eyes, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered the infantry to attack. The harvest time had come. He believed that the Song army could no longer block this fatal blow, and the battle was about to end.

Through the blown dust, Li Ningming's expression suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost, his mouth opened wide in astonishment, and the soldiers around him also screamed in shock.

When the horse galloped halfway, all the fortifications of the Song army were suddenly removed. At the same time, there was a strange cry of "moo moo", and dozens of cattle rushed out desperately with flames on their buttocks. Looking carefully, it turned out that the tails of these cattle had been ignited, and the fire was obviously soaked in kerosene; the tails of the cattle were long and rich in hair, and after being on fire, they looked like flaming torches. The cow kicked and screamed, and rushed out with blood-red eyes.

This is not over yet, followed by a large group of black mules, these mules also have a fire burning behind their buttocks, the mules are full of expressions, and at this moment, they are full of pain and let out a sound like sobbing, It was creepy to hear, but under the flames behind their buttocks, they had no choice but to keep rushing forward.

Fifty oxen with sharp horns lead the battle, more than 200 big black mules with burning buttocks are the backbone, and opposite are [-] war horses that have been stabbed in the buttocks. This battle between people eventually evolved into Animal showdown.

On the open ground in the middle of the canyon, two torrents collided together, and immediately the cows turned on their backs and the mules neighed. Mixed with the sound of tearing flesh and blood, and the miserable screams of the three animals filled everyone's eardrums, the tragic scene in their eyes was not inferior to a fight between humans, and was even more shocking.

Animals are animals after all, they don't know how to avoid, don't know how to show mercy, and don't even distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. In the end, the cow hits the horse, the horse hits the mule, the mule bites the cow, and the cow hits the mule in turn. Yes, the fire on the tails that burned the flesh and blood gradually ignited all the animal furs. In order not to waste time, the Xixia Army did not take off the saddles of the second batch of [-] horses, which became the root of the trouble. The saddle made of leather and wood was gradually ignited, and immediately burned into a sea of ​​flames.

The animals are all crazy, they are not limited to fighting each other, but they are walking around indiscriminately, some directly bump into the cliff, most of them run wildly, and even go directly to the troops of Song Army and Xia Army running.

The horseless Xixia infantry who followed the horses and were about to attack the Song army quickly turned around and ran away. Those who ran a little slower were overtaken by these fire-making beasts, and they were knocked to the ground like cloth sacks and trampled on. Into the gravel underground, the sound of screams can be heard endlessly, and from time to time someone is pushed into the air by the bull's horns, and then falls heavily under the chaotic hooves.

"Quickly, close the fortifications, and the spearmen are ready." Su Jin shouted loudly, and the fir spears were raised again, and a dozen people stood against one to welcome the coming fierce impact.

The Song Army's situation is better. After all, there is still a fortification as a barrier, and only one side is under attack, so it is relatively easy to defend; the Xixia Army is not so lucky. There was no wall behind the mountain, and there was no barrier on the left and right. The scattered and conflicting animals with flames and black smoke rushed in from the front, left, left, and right, and the soldiers of the Xia Army suddenly screamed.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot them to death quickly." Li Ningming didn't lose his mind when he was panicking. The Xixia Army also had plenty of arrows. He shot the arrows again and again, and finally shot the animals rushing to the team to death. On the way, fortunately, hundreds of animals were killed by collisions in the middle, and the number of impacts after dispersing appeared to be small, which saved them from a trampled disaster; even so, everyone's hearts were pounding Jumping wildly, sweating profusely all over.

Su Jin didn't expect this result. He just thought of the Fire Bull Formation in a hurry. Since the enemy army used this kind of suicidal charge of war horses, he could use the same method to resist. None of the horses of the [-]-horse army It's not that Su Jin is reluctant to move, but that the other party may repeat the old trick again, and these horses will have to make sacrifices at that time.

But after the scene just happened, Su Jin believed that the other party would never dare to use this kind of attack again, because no one knew whether the released crazy horse would turn around and attack him. Su Jin discussed for a while, but the two reached a consensus in the dark.
