Chapter 1308: Dragon Gate Formation, Formation Change
"Report...to inform my lord, the Yuan army has sent another five thousand cavalry with drums."
So far, more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain have been fired from the Longmen Formation. About 100,000 arrows have been fired, which has killed more than half of the 5,000 cavalry outside the formation, so Temujin sent another 5,000 cavalry. Keep beating the drum.
Hearing this, Xue Rengui's cheeks couldn't help but twitch violently. Sure enough, Temujin had prepared more than five thousand drums.
"The general is impulsive."
Xue Rengui clasped his fists and took the initiative to admit his mistake, but Qin Hao didn't say much when he saw this. He knew that Xue Rengui was a little unwilling. After all, if tens of thousands of fire oxen were released at this time, they might not be able to cause thousands of casualties to Yuan Meng. How can Qin Hao be willing to do so, but there is no way, the Fire Bull Formation has been cracked by Temujin, and if he wants to win, he can only find another way, instead of being pedantic and holding on to a Fire Bull Formation that is destined to be unable to achieve success.
Following Qin Hao's order, the Longmen Formation changed again and divided into five exits. A hundred-meter-long runway was separated by strong shields on both sides. More than a thousand soldiers drove tens of thousands of cattle that became increasingly violent, starting from the center of the formation. Transfers appeared one after another at five exits.
"ignition."
"stupid……"
Tens of thousands of fire bulls were divided into five teams and sprinted towards the Yuanmeng Drum Team 300 meters away and most of the Yuanmeng Team 1,000 meters away.
In an instant, thousands of oxen galloped and fire oxen danced.
Thousands of meters away, at the main force of Yuanmeng, Wo Kuotai pointed in the direction of the Longmen Formation and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, look, our drumming tactics worked. The Han army had to use the Fire Ox Formation in advance as a last resort. .”
"Um."
Temujin nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, but he still had a little regret in his heart, that is, he could not let the fire bull run rampant in the formation and attack the Han army, but he could force the Han army to use the fire bull formation in advance. It was not easy. After all, it was difficult for a small-scale cavalry to break through the Han army's dense arrow formation.
"Immediately place a wall of fire in front of the formation, and then order the cavalry and drum corps to draw these fire oxen to the left and right while retreating..."
"promise."
Temujin was obviously well prepared. As soon as Qin Hao's Dragon Gate Formation's Fire Bull Formation was raised, he took out a large amount of saltpeter and kerosene, and deployed a thousand-meter-long line a hundred meters in front of the army. The wall of fire enveloped 90,000 cavalry in a semicircle.
Next, a picture like this appeared:
The cavalry and drum corps of six to seven thousand people were completely separated from the main force by the wall of fire. While the cavalry fire oxen were retreating, they retreated along the direction of the fire wall to both sides of the main force.
As for the galloping fire bulls, before they were about to hit the wall of fire, they also followed the cavalry in front and automatically changed their course. As a result, not a single bull hit the wall of fire, and then died of exhaustion from their injuries in the endless running.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
"This this……"
Jiang Yan's eyes widened and he said in shock: "Why did these fire bulls suddenly change their route? Why weren't they installed directly?"
Jiang Juan asked what everyone was thinking. He really didn't understand why the fire ox, which was no longer afraid of pain or burning after taking the secret medicine, automatically changed its path and bypassed Yuan Meng's army.
"Is it true that Temuji is blessed by the gods?"
After saying this, Jiang Juan immediately shuddered and immediately shut up, because he noticed that his lord looked like he wanted to eat people, and such words could easily damage his own morale.
After Qin Hao glared at Jiang Yan fiercely, he explained lightly: "We blocked the ears of the fire cows so that they can't hear the outside sound, but we didn't cover the eyes of the fire cows. We are afraid of fire." It’s the nature of all animals, so the fire bull will naturally not take the initiative to run into the wall of fire.”
"I see, this Temujin is too cunning..."
"Yes, yes, you can even think of such a method..."
The generals started talking one after another.
Qin Hao also showed a helpless look. He originally thought that although the Fire Ox Formation would not cause many casualties to Yuan Meng, it would force Temujin's main force to retreat and thus run around to consume the Yuan army's physical strength, but he did not want to Temujin just built a wall of fire, and the Yuan army perfectly avoided the fire bull array without even moving. The tens of thousands of fire bulls caused almost no casualties to the Yuan army.
Of course Qin Hao can blindfold all the fire bulls, but if he releases the fire bull formation from the Dragon Gate Formation, if he blindfolds the fire bulls, these fire bulls will inevitably hit the shields that are running away. In order to prevent chaos, Qin Hao did not Blindfolding the Fire Ox, but he didn't want to give Temujin an easier way to crack the Fire Ox Formation.
Zhuge Liang used the Fire Ox Formation in Longcheng and defeated 150,000 Yuanmeng cavalry in one fell swoop. However, Qin Hao used the Fire Ox Formation in Ningxia, but ended in a complete failure, killing less than 100 Yuan and Meng cavalry.
Comparing the two, Qin Hao came to the main reason for his failure, that is, the opponent Zhuge Liang encountered was Huchuquan, while the opponent Qin Hao encountered was Temujin. Faced with Temujin's tactics of war, Master, the tactics you have used cannot be useful.
"The wall of fire laid down by Yuan Meng can burn for another quarter of an hour at most. After the flames of the fire wall are extinguished, Temujin will launch the final attack."
Qin Hao stared in the direction of the fire wall and shouted: "The whole army is ordered to stand ready for a decisive battle with Yuan Meng."
"promise."
Soon, the fuel of the thousands-meter fire wall was finally completely burned out, and the nearly 100,000 cavalry were once again exposed to everyone's eyes.
"The Longmen Formation is unusual. One hundred thousand cavalry may not be able to break it by force."
Temujin narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently: "For the sake of caution, immediately fly the eagle to send orders to the rear and mobilize a hundred thousand troops to assist in the battle."
"promise."
Temujin nodded, and then shouted: "Send the order, the whole army attacks."
"kill……"
[Ding dong, Temujin’s skill ‘God of Cavalry’ is activated. When leading cavalry in battle, command +2, and the morale and speed of the entire army will be greatly increased.
Temujin's basic commander is 101, and the current commander has been raised to 103. The morale and speed of the Yuanmeng army have increased significantly. 】
Temujin could actually wait for the rear army to arrive and launch the final general attack together, but he did not do much. Instead, he ordered the 90,000 cavalry on the battlefield to attack first.
The main reason why Temujin did this was actually that the 150,000 troops he left behind were only ten miles away from the battlefield. It would take less than a quarter of an hour for the cavalry to sprint at full speed from this distance, and he could just use it. Take the opportunity to observe the flaws in the Longmen Formation.
The 90,000 cavalry roared and charged. The momentum was like a mountain collapsing and the earth was cracking. It made the earth shake and made people unable to breathe. However, the Han army in the Longmen Formation was not affected at all.
Looking at the cavalry rushing towards them in an orderly manner not far away, Qin Hao sneered and slowly pulled out the Tianwen Sword from his waist, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Longmen Formation, change formation!"
