Chapter 776: Fire Bull Array
Chapter 776 Fire Bull Formation
The next day, Lin Jinxiao led his army to march north, and the mighty troops started from Langzhou. Along the way, there were people seeing him off, all looking forward to his early victory.
At the same time, a small group of people drove out along the northwest gate of Langzhou City, quietly heading towards the Tataraka tribe in the west.
Knowing the plan of the lady, Lin Jinxiao led the Langzhou army all the way northward, and settled down at the border of Yizhou with peace of mind.
Sure enough, as Chu Nanzhi expected, Tang Yi asked the Yizhou Army to close the gates of the cities and did not intend to let him pass through.
Seeing that it was the day before the appointment, the generals had already complained a lot after they had been stationed at the border for many days, and there was no sign of reinforcements at all.
In the evening of this day, Lin Jinxiao changed his usual leisurely and lazy attitude, and called all the generals to the big tent, and solemnly ordered: "Just tonight, I ordered you to take Yizhou with all your strength."
Li Ce and Ji Rongheng both looked surprised: "Your Highness, we have been stationed here for half a month, and the city defense of Yizhou has been strengthened a lot. How can we attack the city?"
"No need to ask."
Lin Jinxiao got up immediately, and ordered forcefully: "Quickly go and order all the troops to come to the city of Yizhou."
Just like that, the three armies set off overnight, and when they arrived at the city of Yizhou, it was already dark.
The soldiers raised their torches and waved their flags and shouted. Tang Yi was so shocked by the shouts outside the city that he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he had to go to the city himself.
But with the 100,000 iron cavalry in his hand and the strong city defense, he didn't show any fear at all. He looked down at the tall shadow sitting on horseback in the distance, and shouted triumphantly: "His Royal Highness King Pingning, Please listen to my advice, if you are captured without a fight, I will definitely play King Qinghe and let him continue to keep you in Pingning Prefecture and protect your family from any danger."
"Tang Governor, I would like to persuade you, if you open the city gate obediently, I will give you a way out, but if you still insist on resisting, can you bear the charge of treason when the city is destroyed? ?”
Lin Jinxiao held the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, and stared at the situation on the city.
As Li Ce and Ji Rongheng said, in half a month, Tang Yi strengthened the city's defense a lot, and if he attacked by force, he would have no chance of winning.
Tang Yi shook his head mockingly: "Your Highness is really wishful thinking. My Yizhou City is as solid as gold. Even if I give you another 200,000 troops, you will never even think about stepping into Yizhou City."
"Really, let's wait and see."
Lin Jinxiao turned his horse's head unhurriedly and walked towards the rear.
Watching Lin Jinxiao disappear in front of the formation, Tang Yi thought that he had given up his plan to attack by force, so he secretly let out a sigh of relief, but heard the sound of killing everywhere in the city.
He looked down at the place where the sound came from, and asked in surprise, "What happened in the city?"
"The end is unknown."
The young general beside him also looked blankly into the distance.
When everyone was confused, they saw a large number of soldiers rushing towards the gate of the city suddenly.
There are densely packed figures, and it is completely unclear how many people there are.
"Lord Inspector, it's too bad, there are spies in the city, they have already opened the city gate."
Tang Yi was about to walk down the tower in a hurry, only to hear panicked shouts everywhere.
"Where did the spies come from?"
Tang Yi cursed without knowing why, and looked at the flames in the distance, it was clear that he was a powerful force. These days, he was strictly guarded by various passes. Even if a few spies sneaked into the city, it is impossible to have so many people.
Just as he was feeling astonished, he saw flames everywhere outside the city.
In the flames, there were countless bright knives tied to their horns, and the monster with fireworks behind it rushed towards the city madly.
"What is that?"
"Quickly stop the bandits in the city and close the city gate."
Tang Yi suddenly felt something was wrong, and shouted at the Yizhou Army.
But the defenders in the city did not expect spies to sneak into the city at all, and the strong army led by He Ying directly dispersed the camp, and the city gate was occupied by the Langzhou army not long after.
Some Yizhou sergeants who were hiding in the corners of the city gate heard the order from the governor and summoned up their courage to stop Xizuo, but before they got there, countless holes were poked out of their bodies, and the suspension bridge was forcibly lowered.
When the Yizhou army panicked, some giant monsters poured in from the suspension bridge continuously, and their bodies seemed to be tied with burning materials such as straw and reeds.
It wasn't until the monster rushed into the city gate that everyone realized that it was a farming ox.
The whole body of these farm cattle was covered with a coat like tiger skin, and the raging fire burned their whole body, making them in unbearable pain, so they could only rush forward.
How could the Yizhou army be able to withstand these crazy monsters, and they were attacked from both sides, and they were so scared that they fled towards the city in embarrassment.
"Catch the traitor Tang Yi alive."
He Ying gave an order, and all the Langzhou army followed the mad cattle to chase the fleeing Yizhou army.
Tang Yi also panicked, and took some people down to the city to escape to the north in a desperate manner.
Hearing the screams of wolves in the city and He Ying's yelling to kill, Lin Jinxiao looked at the thousands of cattle that rushed into the city first, and immediately waved to Li Ce: "Sanlang, I want you to lead five thousand cavalry to follow the cattle. Enter the city behind him and occupy the capital of Yizhou within an hour."
Hearing He Ying's loud shouting at the gate of the city, Li Ce scratched the back of his head in wonder: "When did General He sneak into the city?"
Ji Rongheng and the other generals were at a loss.
"This is also due to the group of tomb robbers in Langzhou. They dug a secret passage to allow General He's three thousand dead soldiers to sneak into the city without anyone noticing."
Ji Huaishu stroked his beard with a smile on his face, looked at the calm Lin Jinxiao, and praised with admiration: "Princess is really wise and resourceful. With a little trick, she easily let me enter Yizhou City."
"It's more than that, only thousands of cattle were used to save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
Ji Rongheng sighed.
With such a high city wall, if you attack by force, you don't know how many soldiers will be lost.
Now he also admires the woman who once made him feel disdainful from the bottom of his heart, and said with deep feelings: "It is the blessing of our empire that Your Highness can have the help of the princess."
Although Lin Jinxiao had already understood the intention of the lady, if it weren't for her treacherous calculations, he would never have thought of such a way to attack the city with twice the result with half the effort.
When he was happy, he wished he could attack Jingling City immediately, so he immediately told everyone: "The three armies obey the order. After Li Duwei takes the state capital, General Rong Heng will immediately **** Master Shangshu to the north, and the rest will follow. This king captures Tang Yi alive."
With an order, flames burst out everywhere, and the blazing torches almost illuminated the entire Yizhou City. The soldiers rushed into the city like turbulent waves at a vigorous pace.
In just one hour, Yizhou City fell, and the Yizhou Army threw away their helmets and armor. Tens of thousands of the 50,000 cavalry stationed in the city died in battle, and the rest were captured.
Tang Yi never thought that a city that was impenetrable as gold would be occupied by the Langzhou Army within an hour, and even his family members had no time to send them away. They led dozens of people to flee in a hurry, and fled towards Zihui County in the northeast.
The last 50,000 elites of Yizhou were stationed there.
Now, he can only stick to Zihui County, waiting for his brother's reinforcements to arrive to avenge his shame.
It's just that after this big defeat, his heart was gradually shaken, and he began to plan his own way out more and more urgently.
It would be best if King Qinghe could really succeed, but he has been attacking Jingling City for several months without a single inch of success.
