In the early morning of the third day, the pale light drifted down from the sky through the thick fog. The black shadows outside Putao City blocked the view ahead. A massive cavalry was like locusts, overwhelming the city.
Countless "Shan Shan Army" wearing leather armor, holding knives and spears, slowly stopped one mile west of Putao City, and in the thick fog behind them, densely packed cavalry emerged from the horizon.
"Second Leader" Han Liu stared coldly at the low earthen wall of Putao City. After the soldiers reached a suitable distance, he swung down the Mo Dao he raised high and issued cold orders word by word from his teeth. came out of the crack: "Blow the horn of attack, the front army is ready to attack!"
Today, Han Liu already knows the true identity of Mai Tiezhang, but instead of rejecting the Sui Dynasty, he feels happy. Just because he is a descendant of King Shanshan who was appointed by the Northern Wei Dynasty and is of Han ancestry, he has special feelings for the Central Plains and the powerful Sui Dynasty; in addition, he has had enough of his career as a horse thief hiding in Tibet, so he did not hesitate to Accepted Mai Tiezhang's "recruitment".
The transformation from Tuyuhun thieves to Sui military attachés made Han Liu ecstatic and full of fighting spirit. He vowed to use his illustrious and unrivaled achievements to win a bright future for himself and his people.
"Woooooooooo..." Hundreds of soldiers puffed up their cheeks and blew out an earth-shattering horn sound with all their strength.
Three thousand cavalry formed a fan shape and surrounded the city of Putao one mile away. Under the pale sky, it was like a black storm had rolled up on the ground, sweeping towards Putao City with a devastating force. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder. In an instant, we were two hundred steps away.
However, they did not attack the city immediately, but slowly moved to the left and right sides. Countless gaps opened in the originally compact and dense cavalry formation, revealing the cattle hidden in the formation.
These cows were blindfolded, with a large amount of hay tied to their bodies and tails, and also poured with butter. Two swords were fixed on the horns of the cows. The cold blades were facing forward. Viewed from the front, the horns seemed to grow out of thin air. A little bit, a bit nondescript.
The cattle were lined up and headed towards the low city of Pu Tao.
"Light the fire!" Han Liu, who was riding in front, shouted loudly.
The soldiers quickly raised the lit torches and ignited the hay hanging on the cow's tail. The hay was filled with oil and ignited when it encountered fire. In an instant, the cows were enveloped in flames.
"Moo moo~" The cattle howled in pain as they were burned by the flames. They pawed wildly and swept towards Pu Tao City with the power of destroying everything, like a turbulent wave.
Putao City is a small earth city. The city wall made of compacted earth has been eroded by wind, sand, rain and snow all year round. Not only has it become only half a person tall, but the collapsed earth has formed a gentle slope in front of the city. But slopes and low walls are still two major problems for the attacking side.
When Mai Tiezhang heard the news that Murong Shijie had increased his troops by four thousand, he came up with a plan to attack the city with cattle based on the characteristics of Pu Tao City; an arrow is fatal to humans, but for thick-skinned people For the cow, it was only a minor injury; even ten arrows could not kill the crazy fire cow in a short period of time. Once these fire bulls leap into the city, they will definitely cause heavy casualties and chaos to the waiting defenders, creating an opportunity for the army to enter and win.
As Mai Tiezhang expected, the Tuyuhun soldiers in the city were waiting with their bows open, but they were surprised to see countless groups of fire rushing over from the thick fog. Each Tuyuhun soldier was extremely surprised, but when these fire bulls began to change When it became clear, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"Hurry up and shoot these cows with arrows!" Many generals reacted and shouted loudly.
In an instant, arrows poured down from the city like rain, but these fire bulls had been burned crazy by the scorching heat. The impact speed was astonishingly fast, and a large number of arrows were thrown behind their butts. Even if there are a few arrows nailed to the body, it is not an immediate fatal wound to the cow's life. The pain caused by the arrows makes them even crazier.
"Attack!" Han Liu was overjoyed. He dragged the Mo Dao in his hand to the ground. The horse began to trot and accelerate, and the five thousand cavalry also began to slowly accumulate strength.
"Boom, boom, boom..." In the desperate eyes and horrified whines of the Tuyuhun soldiers, hundreds of fire oxen were like high-speed chariots, viciously crashing into the city wall densely packed with soldiers along the slope. The sharp swords on both sides of the horns severely cut open the bodies of the surrounding soldiers, and chopped off the head and arms of a Tuguhun soldier. The fire bull's remaining power did not fade. After crossing the city head, it jumped into the city in the air. The huge The body knocked the prepared soldier to the ground, and bursts of screams and wails spread across the city in an instant.
Some fire bulls died together with the soldiers, and some got up again after falling down and continued to rush towards the front they thought was the front. Suddenly, the fire bulls began to run around in the city.
Murong Shijie, who was personally directing the army on the high platform at the rear, was also stunned by this strange move. He clearly saw that these flaming bulls were going crazy, and would often knock down countless soldiers in a row before they were exhausted. The two swords cut off everything in front of them, and the morale that was originally like a rainbow disappeared with the intrusion of these fire bulls.
The three major killing moves of slopes, city walls, and archers were breached in the blink of an eye, causing countless casualties. However, the price paid by the enemy was only a few hundred cattle. What is even more terrifying is that behind these fire cattle, The enemy's attack has just begun. On the other hand, our own side was in complete chaos. The soldiers at the front of the city were rampaged by fire bulls and suffered heavy casualties.
The only good thing is that these fire bulls can only harm the front army and not much damage to the middle army. The most elite rear army did not suffer any trauma. His cheek twitched violently a few times and he loudly ordered: "The rear army The army replaces the Chinese army, and the Chinese army retreats to prepare for war."
After giving the order, the rear army slowly advanced, while the frightened Chinese soldiers got out of the gap in the rear army and went to the back to form a formation.
At this time, the front army led by Han Liu split in a fan shape one after another, like a sharp arrow. After the front army was a central army composed of three thousand soldiers. Two huge cavalry formations, just before the Tuyuhun soldiers quietly formed amidst the chaos.
In an instant, the hooves of three thousand former soldiers flew, mud and grass flew everywhere, ferocious murderous intent filled the space between heaven and earth, and the bright swords exuded an icy coldness in the pale daylight.
The soldiers of Tuyuhun's front army and the Chinese army were in a panic after being broken by the fire bull. When they saw the cavalry slowly charging into the city with a strong murderous intent, they consciously fled to both sides.
"Kill!" Murong Shijie raised his arms high and gave the order to fight. They must not retreat. Once they retreat, it will turn into a huge defeat. Now that things have happened, we can only rely on the powerful elite soldiers of his direct lineage to fight against him!
He forced away the depression and uneasiness in his heart, waved the command flag in his hand viciously, and urged the rear troops to move forward.
The previous front and center armies had been thrown into disarray by the fire bulls, and now they could no longer regroup, because the Korean Wave had led its men and horses into the Tuyuhun rebels like evil gods.
However, the existence of these rebels gave Murong Shijie a chance to breathe. After the army led by Han Liu ruthlessly slaughtered the chaotic rebels, Murong Shijie's military formation finally recovered and formed an orderly formation. The force is ready to meet the invading enemy.
Han Liu roared and rushed into the enemy group with his horse. He was extremely powerful and waved the Mo Dao in his hand, killing the Tuyuhun soldiers with broken limbs and arms. The Tuyuhun soldiers were frightened by his bravery and retreated one after another. The soldiers behind him Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward along the gap he created. Everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy, widening the gap step by step.
Murong Shijie, who was in the rear, calmly responded to the challenge and commanded two generals and elite troops to stop Han Liu, thus slowing down the offensive of Han Liu, the front army.
Seeing that his own soldiers withstood the tidal wave of offensive, Murong Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the soldiers in the rear to fire arrows at the enemy.
In an instant!
The siege battle also turned into a hand-to-hand battle between flesh and blood. The two sides fought extremely fiercely. The sound of screams filled the whole city. The soldiers who entered the city continued to fall, but more soldiers entered the city to help.
For a moment, Putao City seemed to have become a human slaughterhouse. The enemy and us, red-eyed, fought desperately, killing corpses piled up and blood flowing into rivers.
