Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 537
Outside Yuyang City, fierce battles are raging.

Two 10,000+ Yan troops launched a continuous onslaught against Zhao Jun. The fierce battle lasted from morning to evening, but Zhao Jun's formation was still standing still. Zhao Jun was like a solid rock. No matter how much troops were invested and how violent the attack was, Zhao Jun could not be shaken at all.

Just now, another wave of offensive was disintegrated by Zhao Jun.

King Zang Tu of Yan was furious, and shouted at the generals behind him, "Waste, they are all a bunch of waste. What's the use of keeping you for such waste?" After finishing speaking, Yan Zang ordered the generals of the imperial army to be defeated just now. The Zuojun Xiaojun who was killed also dragged down and chopped off his head. So far, the number of Yanjun Xiaojun who has been beheaded has reached nine.

The remaining dozen or so generals and lieutenants were so frightened that they were afraid that Zang Tu would attack them next time. In this way, even if they did not die on the battlefield, they would inevitably die under the knife of Zang Tu after they were defeated.

Fortunately, Zang Tu didn't let them play again, but decided to lead the imperial army to the battle.

The performance of the Yan army made Zang Tu very angry, but the battle situation was not completely out of Zang Tu's control. In Zang Tu's plan, the Yan army who failed to attack was actually used to consume Zhao Jun's energy and serve as the last battle for the imperial army of Yan. It's just that Yan Jun's performance is too weak, so Zang Tu is furious.

"Send the widow's order... the forbidden army to attack!" Zang Tu pulled out his horizontal knife and pointed to the void in front of him, then looked at the Northern Diao Cavalry Army cruising on the left and right sides, and said in a deep voice, "Send another signal, please Bei Diao Cavalry Army Attack together!" According to the prior agreement between the Yan Army and the Bei Diao Army, the Bei Diao Army will not participate in the war of attrition ahead, but will only participate in the final blow to the Zhao Army.

As soon as an order was issued, the Yan Kingdom's Central Army immediately sounded the passionate and high-pitched war drums and the continuous sound of horns, and a giant rocket roared from the bed crossbow, drawing a faint flowing rainbow above the sky. , It was clearly visible from a distance of more than ten miles, and the Northern Diao cavalry who were cruising on the left and right wings began to clamor one after another.

##########
Bai Xuan's expression is solemn, are the Yan Army and Bei Diao Army finally going to launch the final general attack?
In the previous half-day fighting, although Zhao Jun repelled countless onslaughts from Yan Jun, Zhao Jun himself was not feeling well, not to mention the countless casualties, and the consumption of arrows and physical strength was also great. If it weren't for the [-] soldiers The elite who has been trained for a long time, Zhao Jun may have already been defeated by Yan Jun's knife.

But now, victory can only belong to Zhao Jun, and it must belong to Zhao Jun!

come on!Bai Xuan slowly drew out his long sword and raised it slowly again. Leng Sensen pointed the tip of the sword obliquely at the void in front of him. The pro-military captain standing behind Bai Xuan suddenly became excited, and suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "The general has an order, the front army retreats!" , the left army and the right army protect the two wings, the central army moves forward, and the heavy troops prepare..."

##########
"Ha." Zang Tu lightly held the horse's belly with his legs, and the steed's mount under his crotch immediately hissed in a low voice, then threw off the horse's hooves and trotted forward. It drags extremely long over the wasteland.

Zang Tu raised his horizontal saber and moved forward with all his strength, and the [-] imperial guards of the Yan Kingdom roared like a tsunami. They raised their big shields one after another, wielded their ring swords, or carried their spears, followed behind Zang Tu and headed forward. The Zhao army swept away, iron armor clattered, smoke and dust billowed, and the [-] Yan army surged forward like a rolling iron stream.

##########
On the left wing of the Yan army, Meng Shu raised his horizontal saber and led it forward lightly.

All of a sudden, the northern mink cavalrymen who had been waiting for a long time urged their mounts and swept towards the left and right wings of Zhao Jun in front. They waved the ring sword in their hands and let out strange howls, as if A group of wolves from the desert are opening their bloody mouths, biting their prey.

##########
The epee that Bai Xuan raised high suddenly fell down.

The military academy lieutenant standing behind Bai Xuan let out a roar, and the heavy soldiers who had been waiting for a long time brought up more than 2000 cattle, buffaloes, and bulls.

The eyes of these cattle, buffaloes and bulls have been stabbed blind without exception, and their ears have been filled with lead, so they can no longer hear any sound, but their backs are full of bundles of dry firewood. What is especially special is that two wooden stakes are bound on both sides of each cow's body. The front ends of the wooden stakes are sharpened, exposing the cold and sharp stubble.

Two horizontal beams are tied horizontally on these two wooden posts, and the head of each cow is firmly tied to the two horizontal beams so that it cannot be rotated. After the burning pain, there will be no left and right conflicts, let alone spinning around in place, but will only rush forward all the way.

"Put the kerosene!" The pro-military lieutenant gave another order, and five thousand heavy soldiers came forward with cans of kerosene, opened the earthen pot, and poured the dark and sticky kerosene onto the back of the ox. On the dry wood, the cattle could not see or hear them, but they could smell the pungent smell of the kerosene, and they began to stir uneasily.

##########
"Kill!" Zang Tu drew forward with his saber, but the mount under his crotch cut across the front and galloped to one side.

If ten years ago, Zang Tu would not hesitate to lead the imperial army to launch a final assault on Zhao Jun, but now, he is an old man in his sixties after all, and it is impossible to take the lead and charge like he did when he was young. However, the imperial army of Yan State still had their morale greatly boosted by the King of Tibet's presence in front of the battle.

"Kill, kill, kill..." The heavy armor of the Forbidden Army began to accelerate with a large shield on their shoulders.

"Kill, kill, kill..." the imperial halberd roared, and the long halberd that had been erected in the air began to press down.

"Kill, kill, kill..." The light soldiers of the forbidden army held daggers in their mouths and crossbows in their hands, each with a ferocious expression.

"Kill, kill, kill..." The archers of the imperial army ran quickly, unloaded the big bow on their shoulders, then drew the bow and set up an arrow, pointing the cold arrow obliquely at the void ahead.

At the same time, the northern mink cavalrymen on the left and right flanks had already arrived first and rushed to the front of the Zhao army. Meng Yuan and Meng Liao raised their horizontal knives and swung them obliquely. Zhao Jun's left and right wings cut in front of the formation, and in the next instant, the Northern Diao cavalrymen on horseback had drawn their bows one after another, and poured endless arrows on the heads of Zhao Jun's armored soldiers.

The armored soldiers on the two wings of the Zhao army screamed again and again, while the archers of the Zhao army fought back with the advantage of the range of the infantry bow, and poured waves of arrows on the heads of the northern mink cavalry. The thin leather armor of the northern mink cavalry could not resist With the sharp armor-piercing arrows, under the attack of the arrow rain, they fell headlong one by one...

##########
Bai Xuan turned a deaf ear to the screams from the Zhao army on the left and right flanks, because he knew that the northern mink cavalry were all light cavalry and could not pose a threat to the heavily armored infantry. For the imperial army, as long as the imperial army of Yan Kingdom is defeated, the northern mink cavalry on the two wings will naturally retreat.

Neither the Yanzhao army was carrying any heavy equipment, and when they were about to enter the range of their respective archers, the heavy armor of the Zhao army at the front of the formation suddenly retreated towards the left and right wings. As soon as they drove off, a cow with dry firewood on its head suddenly appeared in front of the Yan army.

All of a sudden, sticks of faintly burning torches fell on the backs of the cattle.

The next moment, the bundles of dry firewood on the backs of the cattle burst into flames, and the fierce burning flames quickly burned the cattle. They all carried the fire on their backs, threw off their hooves and rushed forward. Straight forward, before Yan Jun could recover from the huge astonishment, more than 2000 fire bulls had already rushed into their formation violently.

In an instant, the imperial army of Yan Kingdom was in chaos.

The smallest of these fire bulls weighs more than a thousand catties. Even the strongest heavy armored soldiers can't resist the violent impact, not to mention that there are raging fires burning on the backs of these fire bulls, and the churning flames are so scorching. People's skin hurts, they can't even open their eyes, and the sky is dark, how can we fight this battle?
The Yan Kingdom's imperial army, which was originally full of murderous aura, collapsed like a mountain in an instant!
"Kill!" Bai Xuangao raised the double-edged epee in his hand and roared towards the sky.

"Kill, kill, kill..." Five thousand carefully selected soldiers of the Zhao army, dressed in light armor and holding sharp knives, rushed forward biting the tails of the fire cattle, and began to wantonly harvest the lives of the remnants of the Yan army.

##########
"This is..." Zang Tu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and murmured dreamily, "Fire Bull Formation?!"

It is not that Zang Tu has never heard of the name of the Fire Bull Formation. More than 100 cattle ago, General Yan Qijie was defeated by Tian Dan in Jimo. Tian Dan used the Fire Bull Formation!A hundred years is not long, at least not far away. Zang Tu never imagined that Bai Xuan would imitate Qi Jiang Tian Dan and sacrifice the fire bull formation, and one blow would be effective.

Seeing the elite imperial army defeated like a mountain, Zang Tu was so distressed that he bled.

This is the elite of the Great Yan Kingdom, the elite of the Forbidden Army that Zang Tu spent countless efforts to build, and was wiped out by Zhao Jun like this?How is this possible, how is this possible? !
Zang Tu's heart is full of fear, it's all over now! ! !

In a state of panic, a bone-piercing icy cold suddenly hit from the front like a tide. Zang Tu raised his head abruptly, and saw a general of the Zhao army tens of steps away, drawing a black iron tire bow. Holding a heavy spiked arrow, Zang Tu could even clearly see the cold aura coming out from the cluster of three-edged arrows.

In the next instant, that cold light expanded dramatically in Zang Tu's eyes.

After all, Zang Tu was also a battle-hardened veteran, he instinctively twisted his body at the critical moment of life, the mace-toothed heavy arrow almost brushed against his cheek, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow scratched his face sorely, and then That is, there was a shrill scream from behind, but it was a forbidden soldier behind him who was shot through the neck and immediately fell headlong.

"Don't leave the King of Yan!" The general of Zhao Jun missed his arrow, and aimed at Zang Tu again with his bow and arrow, while shouting, "The one in the black gold armor is the King of Yan, Zang Tu, don't leave Zang Tu!"

"Catch Zangtu alive!"

"Catch Zangtu alive!"

"Catch Zangtu alive!"

Hundreds of Zhao Jun's light cavalry clashed from the slanting spurs and came straight to Zang Tu. Zang Tu looked around, there were only less than a hundred cavalry, and everyone looked panic-stricken, so he reined in his horse and left.
