Although Yuan Yao killed his own horse just now, there are still eight horses under his bodyguard.
In order to show his determination to advance and retreat with everyone, Yuan Yao tied strips of cloth soaked in fish paste to the horse's tail, preparing to imitate the fire ox formation of Qi General Tian Dan in the Warring States Period.
He also cut down many small trees nearby, sharpened both ends, and arranged seven or eight trees vertically.
Then use two pieces of wood to fix them horizontally with ropes to make thorn-headed wooden rafts, which are tied to the sides and front of all the horses.
The guards also knew that there was no other way, so they could only pull out the mount with tears in their eyes.
Then he lit the fire starter with a torch and threw the torch at the feet of the horse.
Animals are afraid of fire, and horses are no exception.
Under the dual stimulation of vision and pain, the eight horses were instantly frightened and lost control. The guards whipped them hard again, and the horses raised their hooves and galloped forward.
"Young Master, the eight cavalrymen on the opposite side are leading their horses to the front, as if they want to raid the formation!"
"No, no, why do these war horses look weird? Why are there things like rafts tied to their backs?"
Peng Cai's clipper always stayed out of Yuan Jun's range on the river. The sail on the boat was several feet above the land. A strong Peng son was always climbing on the top of the sail, watching and reporting Yuan Jun's movements.
Yuan Jun also had no choice but to let it wander a hundred steps away.
But when equipping the war horses with wooden spike platoons, Yuan Jun took advantage of the cover of the bushes, so it was not until the fire horses were released that Peng Cai's men discovered it and hurriedly reported it.
"The other side lit their ponytails on fire and sent them out into the formation, straight towards our people!"
"Horse into battle?"
Peng Cai was immediately startled and stood on the bow of the ship to look.
He saw eight horses, their tails were on fire, with spiked rafts tied to their bodies, and they rushed towards their own tribe as if they were dying.
"What should we do, young master?"
The man climbing on the top of the sail said anxiously.
He stood tallest and had the clearest view. If these eight huge animals were to collide with the crowd of Peng family members, a large number of people would probably be killed or injured.
"You ask me? How do I know!"
Peng Cai just felt that he was too careless.
Thinking that they had delayed Yuan Yao with a delaying strategy, they used thousands of people to surround Yuan Yao in a roundabout way. Next, eating these hundreds of isolated and helpless officers and soldiers is a matter of hands.
So I didn't think too much, and I didn't expect Yuan Jun to come up with such a thing!
Who would have thought that Yuan Yao would release all the horses that could escape to save their lives and charge into the battle?
You must know that war horses, a high-end northern product, are a rare item worth hundreds of gold in Yuzhang. This Yuan Yao is really spending a lot of money!
But things that really dumbfounded Peng Cai began to happen.
At the same time as the fire horse was released, Yuan Yao ordered the archers to step forward quickly, rushed to a hundred paces distance, fully drew the bow and released a wave of arrows.
More than a hundred arrows could not actually cause much damage to the thousands of Peng tribesmen fighting in the front line, especially since most of these people were holding shields.
But no one expected that Yuan Yao would take the initiative to order the most vulnerable archer to take the initiative and run to the shooting range to release arrows.
The Peng clan members at the front looked in shock at the eight horses charging towards them, and then saw Yuan Jun's archers rushing out of the formation and drawing their bows and firing arrows directly at them.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should avoid the horses equipped with spiked rafts or raise his shield and hide his head behind it to resist the flying arrows.
So Peng's group of more than a thousand people attacked the front line. Before the battle began, the formation actually began to fall into chaos.
When the arrows flew towards them, the war horses also galloped towards them.
Several unlucky guys were knocked directly into the sky by the angry horse, becoming a trapeze artist!
Most of them were people who were stabbed by the spiked rafts tied to horses and died suddenly with screams on the spot.
The arrows also caused a lot of damage. It was also the first time for Peng's tribe to be shot by so many arrows.
Many people were so frightened that they forgot they had shields in their hands, and were shot to death and wounded.
More people chose to squat on the spot and hold their shields high above their heads.
The Peng family members were originally not in formation, but were swarming up.
At this time, they were attacked by flaming horses and flying arrows. They immediately disobeyed the command and started shouting and jumping around. It was very chaotic.
When most people were thankful that they were neither hit by horses nor shot by flying arrows, and when they looked forward again, they were shocked.
Yuan Jun, who was absolutely outnumbered, actually did not hold on where he was. Instead, they all rushed over.
It was true that they all rushed over. Whether they were lightly-armed swordsmen or spearmen and shield-bearers, they all rushed over.
The shield bearer threw down his shield on the spot and charged forward with only his sword and spear.
The archer continued to move forward while firing arrows.
But looking at the posture, when the troops come into contact, the archers will also join.
The burly man standing in command on a parallel chariot, namely Peng Hu, had already been disrupted by Yuan Jun's fiery horses and proactive attacks.
For a moment, he even forgot to order the hunters and light archers to fire arrows to stop them.
By the time he remembered the trump card he had hidden, Yuan Jun was already fighting with more than a thousand of his troops in the front line.
The tone of this battle was set by Yuan Yao from the beginning.
Sergeant Yuan's soldiers all rushed forward bravely and howled.
However, his more than a thousand strong men were charged by flaming horses, shot by arrows, and hacked by people until they screamed.
Yuan Yao was also in the charging sequence.
But eight personal guards in front of him and behind him tightly surrounded him, preventing him from rushing forward or encountering any living members of the Peng clan.
Yuan Yao was also happy to just yell and yell in the formation to prove that he was fighting with everyone, so as to boost morale.
As for fighting in battle, I'm sorry, but Yuan Yao is really not good at it.
Moreover, Yuan Yao himself had thought that if he were given Lu Bu's stature and martial arts skills, he would not have the guts to fight with others, let alone rush into battle to kill the enemy.
He really cherished his life.
Some risks can be taken.
There are some risks, so it's better not to touch them.
The battle was decided in a matter of seconds.
Peng's leaders, big and small, were fighting in the front line. At this time, they couldn't restrain their subordinates at all.
Some leaders were angry that the fire horse killed and injured their close relatives, and shouted to have their men kill the offending horse first, and then resist Yuan Jun.
As a result, it took a dozen people a lot of effort to subdue the animal that was kicking and kicking wildly.
Some leaders are uncertain about advancing or retreating. Originally, they were the attackers. They waited for the hunters behind them to finish shooting their arrows, then waved their flags and charged forward.
Why is it that once we go into battle, the situation is completely reversed?
Only a small number of people can react quickly and organize resistance under the orders of the big leader!
However, their individual combat capabilities and morale were far different from those of Yuan Jun. Almost as soon as they met, a row of people were cut down by Yuan Jun, who was scrambling for the first place.
He looked at his more than a thousand subordinates, who were beaten to pieces almost as soon as they met, and no one could hear his command.
The big leader reluctantly ordered a retreat.
But the order to retreat could not be passed on at all, and could only be spread by the most primitive "person-to-person" method!
