Zhao Zheng rode on the horse and said with a smile: "I thought Li Chuangjun had any new weapons!

It turns out they are still soldiers with swords, bows and arrows!"

Commander Liu De, who had been stationed in Chongqing for three years and defeated Zhang Xianzhong in many city defense battles, had extensive combat experience. At this moment, he stared at Li Chuang's army and Li You's army and said: "Captain Zhao, don't be careless.

. Before the general looked at the enemy's military formation, there were densely packed soldiers on all sides. It seemed that there was something hidden among the troops."

Zhao Zheng nodded and said: "As long as it's not a Hongyi cannon. Looking at the enemy's formation, it can't be a Fran cannon."

The two armies gradually approached, and when the distance was still about 600 meters, Li Chuangjun stopped.

Niu Jinxing, who was at the Central Military Department of the Breaking Army, said to Li You: "General Li, the enemy's musket range is 500 meters.

Before the enemy is aware of it, you can order the sergeants to light the tails of the oxen at the same time and drive the cattle towards the enemy. As long as the cattle disrupt the enemy's formation, our army can rush out with all its cavalry and kill them. This battle will be won!"

Li You said excitedly: "Prime Minister's brilliant plan! If we win this battle, you and I will both make great contributions to King Chuang! This battle will reverse our Dashun losing streak since the battle of Shanhaiguan!"

After Li You finished speaking, he immediately passed on the order. More than 20,000 intruders from the front army dispersed to both sides like a tide, revealing tens of thousands of cattle with sharp knives tied to their horns and green cattle filled with kerosene and other flammable substances tied to their tails.

Scalpers are coming.

Zhao Zheng and other generals were shocked when they saw Li Chuang's army formation change and tens of thousands of bullocks revealed.

Zhao Zheng immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing, set up a defensive formation, and raised Chongzhen No. 10 to aim at the cattle in Li Chuang's formation.

After setting up, Zhao Zheng said to the generals: "I didn't expect that Li You and Niu Jinxing actually came up with the "Fire Bull Formation"! Each general must hold on to his position and must not let the enemy Fire Bull rush into our formation."

Liu De recalled the experience of defending the city in Chongqing and said: "Captain Zhao, the beef has strong bones and tendons, thick skin and thick flesh, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him with just a few shots.

Quickly send half of the sergeants behind the musketeer formation to bombard the approaching cattle with fire and thunder. This will be safer!"

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed and said: "Dezi, you have guarded Chongqing for several years and you have really become a famous general! Send the order immediately and let the sergeants do as you say."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw the sergeants of the intruder army on the opposite side lighting the flammable objects on the cows' tails and driving the herd of cows towards Zhao Zhengjun.

Tens of thousands of bullocks spread their hooves and ran together, and the earth seemed to tremble.

After receiving the order, the sergeant of the First Corps quickly separated half of the people. Each person placed a package filled with fire mines on the ground next to them, holding the fire mines in their hands to prepare.

The cattle ran for more than ten breaths, and they were about 500 meters away from Zhao Zhengjun. The flammable material tied to the tail of the cattle had burned its flesh, and the pain was unbearable. The cattle all turned red with anger and accelerated towards Zhao Zhengjun.

Come rushing.

When the officers of Zhao Zhengjun saw that the cattle had advanced 500 meters, they gave an order and the sergeants held Chongzhen No. 10 and opened fire violently at the cattle.

The bullets scattered in the air flashed past, hitting the cattle one after another and entering their bodies. Some healthy cattle that were hit in the head and other vital parts fell to the ground after running for a few steps.

However, there were more bullocks whose vital parts were not injured. They were hurt by the pain and rushed towards Zhao Zhengjun at an even faster speed. They saw that many bullocks had already rushed a hundred meters.

The sergeants of the First Corps had never faced so many furious bulls before, and their hearts were beating fast. After hearing the orders from the officers, they immediately raised their hands and threw the fire thunder at the herd of bulls about a hundred meters away.

More than 30,000 sergeants, under the three-stage attack tactic, threw tens of thousands of fire thunders at once.

The fire thunder exploded, and for a while dust was everywhere in the field, and iron pieces were fired. Many cattle were hit by several fire thunders around them at the same time. In an instant, the cattle had dozens or hundreds of wounds, and they quickly fell down.

Li You and Niu Jinxing were nervously watching the herds of cattle rushing towards Zhao Zhengjun's position in the Chinese army. Seeing that they had entered within 100 meters, they were overjoyed and prepared to order 70,000 sergeants to charge towards the enemy.

But they saw tens of thousands of enemy soldiers raising their hands and throwing a large number of fire thunders at the cattle. Under the continuous violent explosion, a large number of bullocks fell to the ground.

Li You had just seen with his own eyes the sharpness of Zhu Cixuan's muskets. He had experienced battles for a long time and knew that there was little hope of breaking through Zhao Zhengjun's formation with the "Fire Bull Formation". If he wanted to attack the enemy, now was the last chance.

Li You decisively ordered: "The whole army attacks!"

Seventy thousand Sergeant Li Chuang immediately rushed towards Zhao Zhengjun.

The sergeant of the First Corps was nervously dealing with the herd of fire bulls, and saw Li Chuangjun rushing over. The musketeers in the front row quickly divided into half and aimed at Li Chuangjun and opened fire. They were quite confused for a while.

The fire bulls that rushed forward rushed to a distance of only 5 or 60 meters from the sergeant of the first corps before being knocked down.

Although the sergeants were extremely nervous looking at the bright sharp knives on the nearby horns, long-term strict military discipline and battlefield experience allowed all sergeants to hold on to their positions.

The two armies fought fiercely for more than two quarters of an hour, and all the more than 10,000 fire bulls finally fell to the ground. And Sergeant Li You only managed to attack about 200 meters away.

Li You and Niu Jinxing saw that Sergeant Zhao Zhengjun had slowed down his hand and fired like a rain of bullets at their soldiers who were about 200 meters away. They both knew that there was no possibility of winning this battle.

Immediately ordered the entire army to retreat immediately and evacuate towards Tongguan. More than 20,000 sergeant corpses and more than 10,000 bullock corpses were left on the battlefield.

When Zhao Zheng saw Li Chuang's army fleeing in defeat, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Liu De, who was beside him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Captain Zhao, the enemy army has fled. Do we want to pursue it?"

Zhao Zheng was very nervous during the battle just now, fearing that the enemy fire bulls would attack the formation and cause considerable losses to the first regiment. In this case, he would not be able to deal with Zhu Cixuan.

Now seeing that the enemy troops had fled, the sergeants fired intensely for more than half an hour, which was very tiring. They immediately said: "The enemy troops may still have some tricks up their sleeves. To be prudent, our troops will still be stationed in Luonan and wait for Governor Sun's order to prepare for the enemy's attack."

Yes."

All the generals responded in unison.

Ren Xian looked at the bullock carcasses all over the ground and said, "This Li You and the bull Jinxing must be cattle snatched from the people in nearby counties. It is the time for spring plowing now."

Li Jie sighed: "Everything is used on the battlefield. These cattle are probably the most valuable property of many people's families, and many fields are still waiting for these cattle to be cultivated."

Zhao Zheng thought of Zhu Cixuan's benevolence and righteousness, and said: "After the whole army cleans the battlefield, transport all these cattle back. In addition to the food for the army, let's distribute them to the people of Luonan!

If there are people from nearby looking for cattle in the future, a record will be made for them. After the governor reports to the prince, the prince will decide."

The entire army returned to Luonan County and distributed the beef to the local people.
Chapter completed!
