Chapter 309 Fire Bull Formation

Chapter 309 Fire Bull Formation

"I am Tianshui Jiang Boyue!"

Countless Han cavalry relied on the fire and suddenly rushed out from one side. The leader was none other than Jiang Wei, who came with three thousand cavalry in a show of force.

Jiang Wei is not just reckless, he can still use strategies. It's just that in the previous battles with Ma Su, Jiang Wei only had to follow the charge, giving Jiang Wei little chance to use his brain.

From the time he led the army alone, Jiang Wei himself often made some ingenious schemes to defeat the enemy.

This time he saw that although the Xianbei rear army was outnumbered, there were many soldiers and horses. However, because the cattle and sheep need to be taken care of, the scale is very large and traveling is very inconvenient.

So Jiang Wei set a fire directly on the road they must pass, and then led his troops to wait on the side. When the Hu soldiers were forced by the fire and had to disperse into two parts to protect the cattle and sheep from the fire, the Han army suddenly came out and killed them.

Because it was dusk at this time, and the fire set by Jiang Wei was still extremely fierce. Under the firelight and sunset, thousands of Han troops looked like devils emerging from hell.

Like the people of the Central Plains, the grassland people are also extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods. Seeing this scene and Jiang Wei's scales reflecting the firelight, they were all frightened.

As the Han army rushed closer and closer, charging with their backs and shouting in the dust accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves, this group of barbarians were frightened out of their courage. Except for a few Hu people who were reluctant to part with their cattle and sheep and tried to resist, the rest of the Hu people threw away their things and fled on horseback.

"Want to escape? Chase me!" Seeing this, Jiang Wei snorted and pointed his gun.

"The rules of a big man are: Don't let go of anyone who can move!"

The Han army then dispersed the Hu people who were guarding the cattle and sheep, and then pursued them all the way.

Although after the initial round of fire, some Hu people reacted and tried to fight back. But because the formation has long been overwhelmed, they can only be regarded as sporadic individual soldiers to the Han army and pose no threat.

The reason why ancient military formations were important was because they played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military and bringing them together as a whole. If an army's formation is disrupted and every soldier is no longer protected by a robe, then both its combat effectiveness and morale will suffer a huge blow.

This is what Jiang Wei is paying attention to here. He bullies the size of your army and destroys your military formation with a fire. Then he chased and fought fiercely all the way without giving you a chance to react, and directly defeated the barbarian.

"Die!" Jiang Wei rode his horse and charged forward, no one could stop him wherever he went. A silver gun became extremely flexible in his hand. Any barbarian who came close was stabbed through by the gun, and many barbarians were even sent flying by the gun.

This is the advantage of being strong.

While Jiang Wei was leading his troops to fight, Shu Ji suddenly led his troops to join the battlefield. However, Shuji is mainly used to gather cattle and sheep, and to gather back the cattle that were frightened by the fire and fled in all directions.

"Listen up, I only want cows, this thing is useful, but no sheep!" Shu Ji gave a special order to his subordinates, and they all only caught cows. If they can catch one, they will be counted as one.

Of course, horses are also acceptable. As long as you can bring back one horse, it will be considered as a battle achievement.

Jiang Wei and Shu Ji, one on the left and one on the right, echo each other and coordinate the robbery. It only took the two of them three hours to finish off all the barbarians, and they also gathered back thousands of cattle and thousands of fine horses.

"General Jiang, you have gained a lot today." After the battle, Shu Ji rode up to Jiang Wei and said with a smile.

"If it hadn't been for General Jiang's good strategy, we might have had to fight for a long time."

"General Shu Ji is overly praised. I am nothing compared to my military achievements." Jiang Wei had a very good impression of Shu Ji. Not only was this Hu man his fellow countryman, he also spoke nicely and was really a good leader. .

"We have gained a lot this time, and we have almost prepared everything we need to prepare. The next step is to join forces with General Zhang and defeat the Xianbei people together!"

"By then, I'm still waiting to see General Jiang show off his power!" Shu Ji said with a slight smile and cupped his hands.

"If this battle can be successful, I believe General Zhengbei will be impressed by us!"

Ma Su arranged for Jiang Wei and Shu Ji to harass the enemy's rear tribes in the north, and the two men completed their tasks perfectly. Several tribes were defeated one after another, and all the tribes in the camp were burned down by fire.

But this is not their strategy itself. What they want to do is to defeat tens of thousands of Xianbei troops for General Zhengbei. According to what Deng Fan said, you can't let General Zhengbei do it himself every time, right?

Although he didn't like Deng Fan very much, Jiang Wei did admit that what this man said was reasonable. He and Shu Ji made a plan, and then came up with the idea of ​​defeating the enemy.

The two men led their own troops and gathered more than 20,000 cattle in half a month. With these prisoners, cattle and sheep, Jiang Wei and Shu Ji quickly led their troops back and joined Zhang Yi to attack Xianbei together.

At this moment, Bu Dugen didn't know that his crisis was coming. He still believed that he would be able to get rid of the Han people sooner or later.

"Chanyu, many tribes in our rear were robbed by the Southern soldiers, and several tribes escorting cattle and sheep were also attacked!"

A detective horse came up and reported to Bu Dugen that there was a fire in the rear.

But Bu Dugen took the battle report, read it briefly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing. This just proves that the other two southern soldiers are indeed harassing. Otherwise, they will never make such a small fuss, and they will definitely defeat several troops in a row!" Bu Dugen looked very calm and smiled at the generals. He waved his hand and said,

"Don't be nervous. The main force of the Han army is still Ma Su's headquarters. As long as you keep an eye on him, there will be no problem. As for the rear, a few small groups of harassing troops can't make a difference. Just send a few soldiers and horses to drive them away."

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

As a leader, Bu Dugen was as calm as water at the moment, talking and laughing easily, which quickly put everyone at ease. Then he just waved his hand and asked his confidants to take 30% of the elite to the rear to stabilize the situation, and then started drinking and having fun with the generals.

However, Bu Dugen's operation of stabilizing the morale of the army seemed to be fine. After all, if there is a fire in the rear, showing composure when people are panicking can effectively prevent all generals from being afraid.

But, he wasn't very good at choosing. At this time, he shouldn't be here drinking and having fun to stabilize the morale of the army.

Because at this moment, more than 10,000 elite members of the Han army have appeared outside the Xianbei camp...

"General Zhang and General Zhengbei's troops have arrived in the south and are ready to attack at any time." The messenger rushed to Jiang Wei and reported to Jiang Wei.

"Very good! Today is the day to make great achievements!" Jiang Wei was so excited that he could hardly sit still on the horse. Looking at the Xianbei camp in front of him, which was dotted with flames, he smiled.

"Fire Bull Formation! Light the fire!"
