() Five hundred horses were unsaddled and lined up. In order to maximize the impact, the horses were divided into three echelons to charge. After all, the Song Army's defense surface was relatively narrow, and the enemy contact surface could only tolerate dozens of people.
War horses step onto the front line of the fortifications at the same time. If too many horses are driven away at once, there is no guarantee that these crowded horses will not turn around and rush back from both sides.レ♠思♥♣客レ
After all preparations were made, Li Ningming gave an order, and the first batch of more than 150 war horses were stabbed hard on their fat buttocks at the same time. At the same time, the Xixia soldiers' whips were also used without thinking.
The horse was slapped on the buttocks; the war horse panicked, let out a series of mournful hisses, spread its hooves and ran wildly, heading straight for the Song Army's fortifications ahead.
The distance of two to three hundred steps between the two armies was nothing at all. In almost a blink of an eye, Crazy Horse had already stepped onto the piles of corpses in front of the Song army's formation. The horse's hooves stepped down,
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, the ground was soaked in flesh and blood and turned into a soft layer. Dozens of war horses stumbled one after another, rolling in front of the formation with a mournful hiss, causing waves of blood and red sand to fill the sky.
After consuming dozens of war horses, the remaining more than a hundred crazy horses still successfully stepped onto the Song army's fortifications. The carts piled with dirt were more than several feet high, and the war horses were like suicide attack fighters.
One after another, the horses collided with the fortifications, knocking the entire fortifications to pieces; each of these horses also had their tendons broken, and the horses and carts slid towards the crowd of Song soldiers, crushing them into a large area.
The Song Army's formation was in chaos, and after the fortifications were opened, the second batch of more than a hundred crazy horses came one after another. The Song Army was not allowed to take a breath, and the thunderous hoofbeats rolled through everyone's hearts again. This time the Song Army had to
The remaining precious arrows were shot out, killing most of the horses on the way. Dozens of them still rushed into the Song army's formation, causing a large area of trampling and killing.
"Master Su, what should we do? Think of a way quickly." Di Qing shouted loudly while swinging his knife and splitting the two grinning mad horses charging towards him in half.
Su Jin shouted: "Where is Wang Lang?"
Wang Lang got out from under a big car. His official body was covered with blood, flesh and sand, and his hat was tilted to one side. He kept saying: "The humble position is here, the humble position is here."
Su Jin asked hurriedly: "How many animals do we have left to pull the cart?"
Wang Lang said in a hoarse voice: "There are fifty oxen and hundreds of mules behind us."
Su Jin said without thinking: "Hurry up and catch up with us all, and bring the last few barrels of kerosene with us."
Wang Lang didn't know what was going on, and before he could ask for more information, Su Jin cursed: "Why don't you f*cking go quickly, why are you standing there in such a daze?"
Wang Lang hurriedly climbed up the mountain road outside the valley. Su Jin turned around and shouted: "Everyone retreated fifty steps to set up a second line of fortifications. The archers shot all their arrows. We must kill Crazy Horse in this place."
Halfway."
Everyone acted quickly. Except for a few hundred archers who stayed in place to fire arrows, the others quickly retreated and overturned the cart to the ground closer to the entrance of Eagle Beak Cliff, barely forming a second line of defense.
The third batch of one hundred and fifty war horses rushed towards them crazily. The archers fired their arrows from a distance. When the arrow pots were exhausted, they barely managed to kill this batch of suicide attacks halfway.
The crazy charge of five hundred crazy horses caused considerable damage and impact. In addition to destroying the first line of defense, it also crushed and injured seventy or eighty soldiers. More importantly, it consumed all the Song army.
All the bows and arrows, and these bows and arrows were originally used to deal with people, not these beasts.
Li Ningming laughed loudly. Such an effect was exactly what he wanted to see, but the only thing he was dissatisfied with was that the original estimate was insufficient. The five hundred horses did not completely destroy the Song Army's defense line. The Song Army was obviously organized.
They retreated and set up a second simple line of defense.
"The plan has changed. The infantry has postponed the attack. I want to see how many rounds the Song army can hold out. General Yeli and General Wuzang will immediately release another five hundred horses. This time they will trample the Song army into pulp."
"The general will obey." Yeli Xianzong and Mu Zangming were also extremely excited. Although war horses are precious, they can watch Song soldiers flip on their backs without having to go up and fight for them. This feeling is like a cat teasing a mouse. It's really
It felt so good; the two shouted repeatedly and quickly led out another five hundred war horses.
The same scene repeated itself again. This time, the five hundred horses were no longer divided into batches, in order to prevent the Song army from having any chance to breathe again. The hoofs rumbled, and countless dust and sand were thrown up. Even the saddles were not even taken off in time.
The war horses rushed straight towards the enemy formation like a fierce torrent.
Li Ningming squinted his eyes, with a cruel smile on his face, and ordered the infantry to attack. The harvest time had arrived. He believed that the Song army could no longer block this fatal blow, and the battle was about to end.
Through the blown sand and dust, Li Ningming's expression suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost, his mouth opened wide in shock, and the soldiers around him also screamed in horror.
Just when the horse was galloping halfway, all the fortifications of the Song Army were suddenly moved away. At the same time, a strange sound of "moo" was heard, and dozens of cattle rushed out desperately with flames on their buttocks.
Looking carefully, it turns out that the tails of these oxen have been ignited, and the fire is obviously soaked in kerosene; the tails of the oxen are long and have thick hair, and when they catch fire, they are like blazing torches, burning these barbaric animals.
The cow kicked and screamed wildly, and rushed out with its blood-red eyes.
That's not all. They were followed closely by a large group of black mules. These mules also had a fire burning behind their buttocks. The mules had rich expressions. At this moment, their faces were full of pain and they screamed like sobbing.
It was horrifying to hear, and with the flames burning behind their butts, they had no choice but to rush forward.
Fifty oxen with sharp horns led the battle, and more than two hundred big black mules with burning buttocks served as the backbone. Opposite were 500 war horses with swords on their butts. This battle between humans eventually evolved into
Animal showdown.
On the open ground in the middle of the canyon, two torrents collided together. Suddenly the cows flipped over and the mules neighed and the horses honked. The huge impact force arched the connecting part in the middle, and there was a horrifying "puff" sound of impact.
Mixed with the sound of tearing bones and flesh, and the pitiful screams of three animals, everyone's eardrums were filled. The tragic scene in their eyes was no less terrible than the fight between humans, and was even more shocking.
Animals are animals after all. They don't know how to avoid, don't know mercy, and they don't even distinguish between friend and foe. In the end, the cow goes against the horse, the horse hits the mule, the mule bites the cow, and the cow in turn goes against the mule. In short, it becomes a mess; the most terrifying thing is
However, the fire on the flesh-burning tails gradually ignited the furs of all animals. In order not to waste time, the Xixia Army did not remove the saddles of the second batch of 500 horses. This became the root of trouble.
The saddle made of leather and wood was gradually ignited and burned into a sea of fire.
The animals were all crazy. They were no longer limited to fighting each other, but were running around randomly. Some of them crashed directly into the cliff, and most of them ran wildly, even directly into the ranks of the Song Army and Xia Army.
Come running.
The horseless Xixia infantry who followed the horses and prepared to attack the Song army quickly turned around and ran away. Those who were running a little slower were overtaken by these fire-making beasts, and were immediately knocked to the ground like cloth bags and trampled on them.
Entering the gravel underground, screams of misery could be heard endlessly. From time to time, someone was lifted into the air by the horns of an ox, and then fell heavily under the hooves.
"Quickly, close the fortifications and prepare the spearmen." Su Jin shouted loudly, raising the fir spear again, and more than a dozen people held it against one to meet the coming fierce impact.
The situation on the Song Army's side was better. After all, there was a fortification as a barrier, and only one side was hit, so it was relatively easy to defend. The Xixia Army was not so lucky. 1,800 people stood in front of the central yang of the canyon.
There was neither a mountain nor a wall, and the left and right sides were empty without any barriers. Scattered and conflicting animals with flames and black smoke rushed in from the front, left, and right, causing the Xia army soldiers to scream in terror.
"Shoot arrows, shoot them to death quickly." When Li Ningming panicked, he still managed to keep his balance. The Xixia army also had enough arrows. He shot out a series of arrows and finally managed to kill the animals rushing towards the team.
On the way, fortunately, hundreds of animals were killed by collisions in the middle. After the impact was dispersed, the number of animals appeared to be small, and thus a fire-inducing trampling disaster was avoided; even so, everyone's hearts were pounding.
Jumping wildly, sweating all over his body.
Su Jin didn't expect this result. He just thought of the Fire Bull Formation in a hurry. Since the enemy used this kind of suicidal charge of war horses, he could use the same method to resist it. Not a single horse of the 500-horse army.
It's not that Su Jin is reluctant to move, but that the other party may repeat his old tricks again, and these horses will have to make sacrifices when the time comes.
But after the scene just happened, Su Jin believed that the other party would never dare to use this kind of attack again, because no one knew whether the Crazy Horse released would turn around and attack him. Although Li Ningming, who had experienced the shocking scene, had not been with him,
Su Jin debated for a while, but the two of them reached a consensus somehow.
