Four Seas Cloud Moon

Chapter 102: Bull Formation

King Zhenbei doesn't need to worry too much. We won a great victory today, and Ye Qinglong will definitely not dare to fight.

What I am worried about is that he doesn't dare to fight. It would be great if he dared to come out!

Okay, go have a drink with your brothers!

Xu Haotian retreated!

Ye Qinglong still doesn't know where he was defeated. After two days of rest, the remnants of the defeated army gradually returned to the city. About 140,000 or 150,000 soldiers returned, and 20,000 to 30,000 were dispersed!

Ye Qinglong learned his lesson and dared not to fight anymore, so he hung up the banner of refusing to fight!

Lu Xiaotian asked Xu Haotian to buy a large number of bulls, the more the better! Xu Haotian asked in confusion,

The King of Zhenbei wants to eat yak meat?

Do as I say, I'm very useful. Purchase in the three counties within seven days. The more the better! Oh, and double the market price!

Let Yueheng go up the mountain to cut bamboo and make bamboo strips!

Xu Haotian led his men to collect cattle, and even had people send people to challenge him at the city gate every day. The soldiers were shirtless and barbecuing and drinking at the foot of the city! When one wave of scolding got tired, they would switch to another wave! But Ye Qinglong acted as if he couldn't hear anything. No matter how much he scolded, he just wouldn't come out!

Ouyang Hui personally delivered Lu Xiaotian's three meals a day, and he would tell jokes and flatter Lu Xiaotian from time to time!

He was clearly aware of this, and everyone knew it! He just wanted a bayonet! Lu Xiaotian was fine anyway, so he thought, "If you don't tell me, I'll keep you hanging!"

Lu Xiaotian said, General Ouyang, if you can lure Ye Qinglong out, I will equip all your cavalry regiment with bayonets!

Really?

a man of his words.

Okay, Ouyang Hui ran away happily!

The expeditionary army got some rest and everyone is full of energy!

When the queen learned that Ye Qinglong had been defeated, the court was more shocked! They didn't expect the King of Zhenbei to be so talented!

After failing in the first battle, Ye Qinglong decided to avenge his previous defeat! He was assembling his army for battle! He had gathered over 100,000 soldiers in the three counties, adding to his own 160,000-plus men, for a total of 27 armies!

Xu Haotian returned to Lu Xiaotian's side, having collected nearly 10,000 yaks. Lu Xiaotian divided the yaks into ten groups of 1,000 each, starving them for three days. He then had people make straw men out of captured enemy clothing, stuffing the men's stomachs with fodder, and positioned them several dozen meters away from the yaks. The yaks, having starved all day, were then released. When they saw the men, they pried around with their horns, finding fodder hidden in the clothing. To eat, they had to use their horns to break open the men's clothing. Initially, the yaks weren't very familiar with the men, but they eventually ate their fill.

After that, the yak was starved for two days. This time, with the experience from last time, the yak ran directly towards the straw man, tearing off his clothes and eating the grass.

After being hungry for two days and eating once every two days, the yaks gradually got used to it.

Lu Xiaotian ordered that only one of every three straw men be given fodder. This time the yak was puzzled. Why was there no fodder? He took the second one, but there was none. But the third one, there was!

Until only one of the five straw men was filled with straw! The yak saw the straw men in enemy uniforms and rushed over like crazy. If the first one was gone, it would go for the second, the third, and the fourth!

A month passed, and Ye Qinglong's army had assembled and coordinated their tactics. He thought, "Although I was defeated last time, I didn't hurt your vitality. Even if your losses are small, you must have lost 20,000 or 30,000 men! I can replenish my forces, and every death you suffer is one less!"

According to the spies' report, the Zhengyuan Army did not transfer troops from the three counties. Now there are less than 120,000 people, and there is not much food and grass left. They are anxious to buy yaks to eat!

Lu Xiaotian set up camp thirty miles from Tianyang City! Just as he was settling in, the gates of Tianyang County opened, scaring away the clamoring soldiers. A group of cavalry arrived at Lu Xiaotian's camp to deliver a declaration of war, agreeing to a decisive battle in three days!

Lu Xiaotian made tactical arrangements.

All 40,000 Yueheng infantrymen participated in the battle and formed the third echelon.

General Xu Haotian has 30,000 men on the left wing.

General Wei Lai led 30,000 men on the right wing.

Fight with the left crossbowmen to cover the first echelon,

Ouyang Hui's cavalry is the second brother's echelon,

The yak was the first echelon, and Yue Heng's men were herding the yaks! They also tied bamboo strips to the yak's back to prevent it from being hurt by arrows!

After his last failure, Ye Qinglong was much more cautious this time. This time he had infantry phalanx, archer phalanx, shield soldier phalanx, cavalry phalanx, and chariot phalanx!

They are neatly arranged into squares. Although the formation is ordinary, it can be used for attack or defense. Ye Qinglong is worthy of being a general!

Ye Qinglong looked at Lu Xiaotian's 130,000 troops, then at his own 270,000 troops. After repeated confirmation, he confirmed that Lu Xiaotian had no ambush this time! The enemy troops were all in the open.

At Ye Qinglong's command, all the troops except his own cavalry in the center rushed forward. Two hundred thousand people moved at the same time, attacking like a tide!

Lu Xiaotian gave an order to open the yak pen. After the training of the past few days, these yaks saw the soldiers rushing towards them and their first thought was that these soldiers were here to deliver food. The yaks, which had been hungry for three days, recognized the enemy's clothes and rushed over directly. The yaks knew that the enemies in the front row had no grass in their stomachs, so they all rushed back desperately. As the yaks walked past, thousands of people were trampled into meat paste. Their half-meter horns directly ripped open the enemy's stomachs, and when they found there was no grass, they looked for the next target. Ten thousand yaks rushed into the enemy army like this, and they were ready to die. Anyone they hit would die, and the enemy was scared and ran around.

Ye Qinglong was stunned by the scene in front of him. Shoot the arrow quickly, shoot the arrow quickly!

General, there are our people in the yak herd! Ye Qinglong also knew that if he didn't shoot arrows, he could wipe them out with just these 10,000 yaks!

Yak. There was no detour. After being hungry for two days, the first thing that came to mind was to tear open my clothes to find something to eat. The harder I tried to find, the more I rushed towards the crowd!

The archers shot arrows directly, but the bamboo strips on the bull's back blocked most of the rain of arrows. The people in the bull's formation were also shot to death, and the cavalry did not dare to get close. The bull just kept charging around!

Yue Heng, Xu Haotian, Ouyang Hui, Zhan Zuo and other officers and men stared with their eyes wide open, and the soldiers were also staring blankly at the yak performance!

Everyone thought that it was a blessing that they rushed into the enemy army. If they had come this way, more than 100,000 of their people would have been killed!

The bull was so fierce that in the blink of an eye, more than 100,000 of the 270,000 people were killed by the bull! The casualties continued.

Ye Qinglong looked at the scene in front of him and thought that he would die if he went back. Thinking of becoming a parasite of the insect, he spat out a mouthful of blood!

General, General!

Retreat quickly!

Ye Qinglong slowly opened his eyes. It was too late. King Zhenbei, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!

Retreat! Retreat! He fainted after saying that!

All the yaks were killed, and those who survived were exhausted to death! The 270,000-strong army was torn apart and routed by the 10,000-plus yak formation! Fewer than 100,000 men remained.

At Lu Xiaotian's command, the entire army rushed forward and headed straight for Ye Qinglong's central army!

If the remaining 100,000 or so people of Ye Qinglong had formed a formation, they could have held out for a while. Unfortunately, it has now become a one-sided massacre!
