Chapter 551
Outside Yuyang City, fierce battles are in full swing.
More than 200,000 Yan troops launched a continuous tide-like attack on the Zhao army. The fierce battle lasted from morning to evening, but the formation of the Zhao army remained unmoved. The Zhao army was like a solid rock. No matter how many troops the Yan army invested, it could not shake the Zhao army at all.
Just now, another wave of offensive was disintegrated by the Zhao army.
King Zangtu of Yan was furious and roared at the generals behind him: "The waste is all a group of waste. What's the use of keeping you with such waste?" After that, Yan Zang ordered the imperial guards to drag the left army captain who had just suffered a defeat and chop off his head. At this point, there were nine Yan army captains who were beheaded.
The remaining dozen generals and the captains were so scared that they looked like earth, fearing that Zangtu would point them next. In this way, even if they did not die on the battlefield, they would inevitably die under the Zangtu sword after being defeated.
Fortunately, Zangtu did not let them fight again, but decided to lead the imperial guards to fight.
The performance of the Yan army made Zangtu very angry, but the situation of the war was not completely out of Zangtu's control. In Zangtu's plan, the Yan army, which failed to attack, was actually used to consume the spirit of the Zhao army and create opportunities for the last blow of the Yan State imperial guards. However, the performance of the Yan army was too weak, so Zangtu was so angry that it was furious.
"I am telling me to order... the imperial guards to attack!" Zangtu pulled out his sword and pointed to the void ahead. He looked at the Northern Diao Cavalry cruising on both sides of the left and right, and said in a deep voice, "Send another signal, please attack the Northern Diao Cavalry together!" According to the prior agreement between the Yan army and the Northern Diao Army, the Northern Diao Army will not participate in the previous war of attrition. Instead, it will only participate in the final attack on the Zhao army.
With a command, the central army of Yan State suddenly rang out the intense and high-pitched sound of war drums and endless horns. A giant rocket roared from the crossbow, and a faint rainbow drew out from the sky. It was clearly visible from more than ten miles away. The Northern mink cavalry roaring on the left and right wings shouted.
#############
Bai Xuan looked solemn. Are the Yan army and the Northern Diao army finally going to launch the final general attack?
In the past half a day of fighting, although the Zhao army repelled countless fierce attacks by the Yan army, the Zhao army itself was not feeling well, not to mention countless casualties. The arrows and physical strength were also extremely exhausted. If these 100,000 soldiers were all elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time, the Zhao army would probably have been defeated by the Yan army's sword.
But now, victory can only belong to the Zhao army, and must also belong to the Zhao army!
Come on, come on! Bai Xuan slowly pulled out his long sword and raised it slowly. The cold and sequential sword tip pointed to the void in front. The personal military captain guarding Bai Xuan was instantly 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 baggage troops are ready..."
#############
"Ha." Zangtu gently held the horse's belly with his legs, and the divine mount under his crotch suddenly neighed. Then he threw away the horse's hooves and ran forward. The setting sun set, dragging Zangtu's figure alone on the wasteland for a very long time.
Zangtu raised its sword and rushed forward and tried hard. Thirty thousand Yan imperial guards roared like a thunderbolt. They raised their shields, picked up their ring-headed swords or carried long spears, and followed Zangtu toward the Zhao army ahead. The iron armor was sturdy and smoke rolled. The 30,000 Yan troops were like rolling iron streams, rushing forward.
#############
The left wing of the Yan army, Meng Fengyu raised his horizontal sword and led it forward gently.
In an instant, the Northern Diao Cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, urged their mounts and swept towards the left and right wings of the Zhao army ahead. While waving the ring-headed sword in their hands, they let out strange howls. It seemed as if a group of wolves from the desert were opening their bloody mouths and biting them towards their prey.
#############
Bai Xuan's heavy sword raised high suddenly fell down.
The personal military captain who was guarding Bai Xuan roared to the sky. The baggage troops who had been waiting for a long time led more than 2,000 yellow cows, buffaloes and bulls up.
The eyes of these yellow cows, buffaloes and bulls were blinded without exception, and their ears were filled with lead, and they could no longer hear any sound. However, their backs were covered with bundles of dry firewood, especially in particular, two wooden stakes were tied to both sides of each cow's body. The front end of the wooden stake was sharpened, revealing the cold and sharp stubble mouth.
Two horizontal trees were tied horizontally to these two wooden stakes, and the head of each cow was firmly tied to these two horizontal trees, making it impossible to rotate. This ensures that each cow will not conflict with each other after being burned by the fire, nor will it spin on the spot, but will only cow will collide forward all the way.
"Set the tincture!" The lieutenant gave another order. Five thousand baggage soldiers walked up with cans of hot tincture, then opened the clay pot and poured the dark and sticky hot tincture on the dry firewood tied to the cow's back. The cattle could not see or hear it, but could smell the pungent breath of the hot tincture, and immediately began to stir up uneasyly.
#############
"Kill!" Zangtu raised his sword and led it forward, but the mount under his crotch cut diagonally across the formation and rushed to the side.
Ten years ago, the Zangtu would lead the imperial guards to launch a final assault on the Zhao army without hesitation. However, now, he is almost 60 years old after all. He can no longer lead and charge in the battle like when he was young. However, the Yan State imperial guards still have a great morale because the Tibetan prince came to the front.
"Kill and kill..." The imperial guards carried a large shield and began to accelerate.
"Kill and kill..." The Imperial Guard roared, and the long halberd that had originally been erected in the air began to press down.
"Kill and kill..." The imperial guards held a short sword on their mouth, held a powerful crossbow, and looked ferocious.
"Kill and kill..." The imperial archer ran quickly, removing the big bow on his shoulder, then pulled the bow and used the arrow, pointing the cold and sinister arrow diagonally towards the void ahead.
At the same time, the Northern Diao Cavalry on the left and right wings had already arrived first and suddenly arrived in front of the Zhao army formation. Mengyuan and Mengliao raised their swords and slanted. The Northern Diao Cavalry following behind them cut through the Zhao army's left and right wings. The next moment, the Northern Diao Cavalry on the horse's back had already pulled out their cavalry bows and poured endless arrows on the heads of the Zhao army's armored soldiers.
The armored soldiers on both wings of the Zhao army screamed in succession, while the Zhao army archers fought back with the advantage of the range of the archers and poured a rain of arrows onto the heads of the Northern Diao Cavalry. The thin leather armor of the Northern Diao Cavalry could not resist the sharp armor-breaking arrows. Under the attack of the arrow rain, they fell backwards one by one...
#############
Bai Xuan turned a deaf ear to the screams from the Zhao army on both sides of the left and right, because he knew that the Northern Diao cavalry were all light cavalry and could not pose a threat to the heavy armored infantry that was ready for battle. What the Zhao army really had to face was the Yan State Imperial Army attacking from the front. As long as the Yan State Imperial Army was defeated, the Northern Diao cavalry on both wings would naturally retreat.
Neither Yan nor Zhao carried heavy equipment. When they were about to enter the range of their respective archers, the heavy armor of the Zhao army, which was at the forefront of the formation, suddenly retreated towards the left and right wings. As the heavy armor of the Zhao army retreated, a cow with dry firewood on its back suddenly appeared in front of the Yan army.
Suddenly, a faintly burning torch fell on the back of the cattle.
The next moment, the bundles of dry firewood on the back of the cattle were burning, and the burning flames quickly hurt the cattle. They carried the fire on their backs and threw away the cow's hooves and rushed forward. Before the Yan army could come back from their huge surprise, more than two thousand fire cattle had already violently penetrated into their formation.
In an instant, the Yan State imperial guards rushing forward were in chaos.
The smallest of these fire bulls are over a thousand pounds. Under the violent collision, even the strongest heavy armored martial soldiers could not resist it. What's more, there was a raging fire on the backs of these fire bulls. The tumultuous flames made people's skin hurt, and they couldn't even open their eyes. It was dark, how could they fight this battle?
The originally murderous imperial guards of Yan State were instantly defeated!
"Kill!" Bai Xuan held up the double-edged heavy sword in his hand and roared to the sky.
"Kill and kill..." Five thousand carefully selected Zhao army dead soldiers were wearing light armor and holding sharp blades in their hands, rushing forward with their tails of the fire cattle, and began to reap the lives of the remaining soldiers of the Yan army.
#############
"This is..." Zangtu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and murmured like a dream, "Fire Bull Formation?!"
Zangtu is not unfamiliar with the famous name of the Fire Cow Formation. In front of more than 100 cattle, Yan General was defeated by Tian Dan in Jimo. Tian Dan used the Fire Cow Formation! A hundred years was not long, at least not far away. Zangtu never expected that Bai Xuan would imitate Qi Jiang Tian Dan to sacrifice the Fire Cow Formation and one blow worked.
Looking at the elite imperial guards who were defeated, Zangtu was so heartbroken that he was bleeding.
This is the elite of the Great Yan Kingdom. It was the elite of the imperial guards he built with countless efforts in Zangtu. He was destroyed by the Zhao army like this? How is this possible? How is this possible?
Zangtu was so terrified that it was all over!!!
In a panic, a bone-eroding ice suddenly came from the tide ahead. Zangtu suddenly looked up and saw a general of Zhao army carrying a dark iron-tee bow dozens of steps away. A heavy wolf-tooth arrow was buckled on the bowstring. Zangtu could even see the cold and cold light coming out of the three-edged arrow cluster.
The next moment, the cold light expanded rapidly in Zangtu's eyes.
After all, Zangtu is also a veteran on the battlefield who has experienced many battles. He instinctively twisted his body at the critical moment of life and death. The heavy arrow of the wolf teeth almost flew over his cheeks. The feathers at the tail of the arrow made his face hurt. Then a shrill scream came from behind him, but an imperial guard behind him was shot through his neck and immediately fell backwards.
"Don't leave the King of Yan!" The general of Zhao army missed an arrow, and then pulled his bow and arrow to aim at Zangtu, yelling, "The one wearing black and golden armor is the King of Yan Zangtu, don't leave Zangtu!"
"Capture Zangtu alive!"
"Capture Zangtu alive!"
"Capture Zangtu alive!"
Hundreds of light cavalry of Zhao army clashed out from the slant and rushed straight to Zangtu. Zangtu looked around him. There were less than a hundred cavalry, and they all looked panicked and left. (To be continued.
