Chapter 424: The legendary tactics? What kind of crazy people are under Liu Bei's command? Is God going to destroy the Xiongnu?
The fire bull rolls forward.

A hundred steps ahead, 40,000 Hun cavalrymen, unaware that death had come, were still roaring and urging their horses to gallop.

Yu Fuluo, who was running wildly with a sword in his hand, was still dreaming of ruling five counties, being named King of Jin, and becoming Cao Cao's son-in-law.

Whether those dreams can come true and whether the Huns can revive under his rule depends on this battle.

Suddenly, the Han army in front changed its formation before the battle.

The gunners and shieldmen who were originally densely packed in front of the formation suddenly moved to both sides, revealing thousands of wooden cages.

In the wooden cage, one can vaguely see a number of yellow cattle being locked up.

Yu Furuo was stunned, his eyes suddenly widened.

What's the situation?
Changing the formation before a battle is a cardinal sin in military strategy.

The key is that the Han army just changed its formation, but there were actually so many oxen hidden in the formation?

What does the Han army want to do?
Does he want to release these thousand cows to fight against his 40,000 cavalry?

Isn't this just a fantasy?

Cows are animals, not humans. How can they be driven by you? Will they charge towards whoever you tell them to?

When the time comes, these beasts will be frightened when they encounter his galloping momentum, and will turn around and charge back at the Han army.

Are you not lifting a rock and dropping it on your own feet?

"I don't know who is the general leading the army, but he came up with such a ridiculous plan. It's really ridiculous!"

The suspicion on Yu Fuluo's face faded, and he smiled coldly, raising his long sword again:
"Warriors of the Great Xiongnu, do not panic, follow this Chanyu and continue the attack."

"The Han people's cattle will be frightened and will turn around and charge back at the Han people, making them suffer the consequences!"

"Push it to me——"

Before the word "Chong" came out of his mouth, Yu Furuo stopped abruptly and his eyes widened again.

Because he saw that the Han army actually set fire to the cattle.

When the wooden cage was opened, the yellow cows with their buttocks on fire instantly turned into fire cows.

They rushed out of the wooden cage, screaming and howling in pain, and rushed forward desperately.

More than a thousand fire bulls, with the force of heaven collapsing and earth splitting, rushed towards his 40,000 Hun cavalry.

"This...this...this..."

Yu Furuo was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and his eyes were wide open with shock and horror in an instant.

What shocked him even more was that the thousand fire bulls were not frightened by his galloping momentum, and they continued to rush forward.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!"

"Scare these beasts away!"

The shocked Yu Furuo suddenly woke up, and quickly brandished his knife and shouted hoarsely.

The Huns, who were equally stunned, came to their senses at this moment, hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, and started shooting from horseback.

Thousands of sharp arrows flew into the air and shot at the fire bull.

Arrows rained down, and nails hit the back of the fire bull.

To no avail.

Cowhide can be used to make armor. For these fire bulls, it is a natural armor that can easily withstand dozens of arrows.

The fire bulls were hit by the arrows, but instead of being shot to death, they grew faster and more powerful due to the pain.

Because the cows' eyes were blindfolded, they could not see anything and were naturally not intimidated by the Huns' massive army. They could only keep their heads down and rush forward.

In a blink of an eye, a thousand fire bulls rushed forward under a rain of arrows and with the force of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting.

Yu Furuo’s eyes widened in extreme horror as he could only watch as thousands of fire bulls charged towards him head-on.

More than two hundred steps away.

The 20,000 Qin army infantrymen who were raiding the battlefield were also stunned at this moment, and everyone's mouth was open in shock.

"Cow? Fire?"

"What is that? Am I seeing things?"

Cao Ren pointed his whip forward, his face filled with astonishment and horror, as if he had just seen the most incredible scene in the world.

"General Huqi, it's the Fire Bull Formation. The Han army used the Fire Bull Formation!"

"We've fallen into a trap!"

The young deputy general named Guo Huai beside him revealed the secret in a trembling voice.

Fire Bull Formation?
Cao Ren's eyes rolled and he suddenly woke up.

As the most famous general of Qin State, how could he not have heard of the story of Tian Dan, a famous general of the Warring States Period, who defeated the Qi army and restored his country with the fire bull formation.

In view of the repeated losses he had suffered before, he was always on guard when attacking Anyi, fearing that Liu Bei had another trick up his sleeve.

Now, his worry finally came true.

No wonder Liu Bei took the initiative to give up attacking Baibo Pass and retreated all the way south to Anyi.

No wonder Liu Bei dared to use his main force to attack Huguan and left only 30,000 troops to guard Anyi.

Originally, this was all Liu Bei's strategy to lure the enemy, just to lure his 70,000 allied forces out from Baibo Pass, just to lead him to launch a large-scale attack on Anyi.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, had nothing to fear as he had already thought of the ingenious strategy of forming a fire bull formation, which was specifically designed to deal with his Xiongnu cavalry.

Every step he took was within Liu Bei's calculations.

He personally pushed 50,000 Hun cavalry into the fire pit that Liu Bei had dug for him!

"Fire Bull Formation!"

"Hundreds of years ago, something that only existed in legends, but Liu Bei could actually use it?"

"What kind of crazy advisers are under Liu Bei's command?"

"Whose hand is this? Is it another masterpiece by that country bumpkin Xiao Fang?"

Cao Ren gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with astonishment and deep grief and indignation.

"General Hussar, the Xiongnu cavalry is no match for the Fire Bull Formation. We must quickly sound the horn to order them to withdraw!"

"Otherwise, these 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry would have been completely annihilated!"

Guo Huai beside him was much calmer and reminded him loudly.

Cao Ren suddenly woke up. What about taking Anyi, what about annihilating 30,000 Han troops, what about retaking Puyang, what about recovering Hedong...

All these unrealistic fantasies were thrown behind him at this moment.

For Cao Ren, the top priority now is to protect these tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry and withdraw them safely to Baibo Pass with the least possible losses.

Otherwise, if anything happened to these 50,000 Hun cavalry, would he be left guarding Baibo Pass with their heads?
Bingzhou is finished!

Cao Ren, who was awakened, was so frightened that he whipped his whip and shouted:

"Sound the horn quickly and tell Yu Furo to withdraw!"

"The entire army retreats northwards, back to Baibo Pass—"

The signal for the withdrawal of troops was sounded.

The 20,000 frightened Qin troops scattered like frightened birds and fled north.

The Qin army fled first.

At this time, the Hun cavalry was still charging at full speed. When the golden sound rang out behind them, it was too late for them to stop.

It's too late.

The fire bull formation crashed into the Hun cavalry with a force that could shake the sky and the earth.

In an instant.

Countless horses were thrown to the ground, countless Xiongnu cavalry were pierced by the tips of ox horn knives, and countless Xiongnu people who fell off their horses were crushed into pieces by ox hooves...

Nearly 40,000 Huns on the central route were instantly crushed by the burning bulls and sheep, with many people falling off their horses and the plain stained with blood.

The thousand fire bulls were unstoppable and moved forward, pushing the Huns into the abyss of hell.

"Retreat, retreat of all troops——"

Yu Furuo was so frightened that he turned his horse around and fled like a frightened bird, shouting hoarsely.

At this moment, his previous arrogance and contempt for the Han army all disappeared.

And his beautiful dream of controlling the five counties of Bingzhou, becoming the King of Jin, and marrying the princess of Qin, were all crushed by the cow's hooves.

There was only one thought left in Yu Fuluo's mind:
Run for your life!

However, in such a hurry, the Hun cavalry had no time to turn around, and the rear and front teams were crowded together, blocking the way ahead.

The fire bulls behind him ignored them and continued to charge forward, piercing and crushing the Huns who were crowded together.

at last.

After crushing tens of thousands of Huns, the thousand fire bulls also came to the end of their lives and fell in a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The horrific fire bull charge finally ended.

The Huns’ nightmare had just begun.

Han army in the army.

Liu Bei witnessed the power of the Fire Bull Formation with his own eyes. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly.

Inside and outside the city, the 30,000 Han soldiers were stunned.

Even Xiao Fang, who was watching the battle on the city wall, stopped waving his feather fan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The power of this legendary Fire Bull Formation was truly beyond his expectations.

The next moment, cheers suddenly rang out, shaking the heaven and earth.

The 30,000 Han army soldiers were all cheering and shouting with excitement.

"The Prime Minister's ability to judge people is truly unparalleled in history. This Ma Youchang is truly a prodigy!"

Liu Bei looked in the direction of Ma Su with joy and admiration.

The generals of the Han army also looked at Ma Su with admiration.

Ma Su stopped his horse and looked into the distance, looking at his masterpiece in front of him, he was so excited that his hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.

The Fire Bull Formation was indeed his masterpiece, but even he himself did not expect that the power of the Fire Bull Formation would be so terrifying.

It was not until countless pairs of admiring eyes from the generals looked at him from afar that Ma Su came to his senses after feeling the gazes that treated him like a star.

"After today's battle, I, Ma Su, will be famous all over the world!"

"Prime Minister Xiao, I, Ma Su, will never forget your kindness in supporting me!"

Ma Su turned around and looked at Xiao Fang on the city wall again with gratitude.

Central Army Department.

Liu Bei had calmed down, and the surprise on his face was replaced by a fierce murderous intent.

Draw the sword from its sheath, with the tip pointing north:
"Order Ma Mengqi and Zhang Wenyuan to attack with cavalry and wipe out the two routes of the Xiongnu troops!"

"Infantry, listen up! Move forward with all your forces and kill all the remaining Xiongnu enemies in front of you!"

“All troops attack!
Tom-tom-tom——

The deafening sound of war drums suddenly rang out, breaking the cheers on the battlefield.

On both wings of the army, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao each led 5,000 Han cavalry and rushed out, charging towards the flank Xiongnu cavalry led by Huochuquan and Qubei.

More than 20,000 Han army infantrymen rushed forward like a flood, and attacked the remaining main force of the Xiongnu army, which was in chaos and blood everywhere.

Thirty thousand Han troops launched an all-out attack.

Seeing that their main force had been defeated, the Xiongnu Left Wise King and Right Wise King had no courage to fight again and fled in panic.

The two groups of Han cavalry marched northward and pursued the enemy relentlessly.

In the center, the Han army's infantry rushed forward like a tide, stepping on the corpses of the Huns.

Huang Zhong, Zhang He and other Han generals each led their own infantry and frantically harvested the lives of the remaining Xiongnu soldiers.

The Xiongnu cavalry, having lost their speed, were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of the elite infantry of the Han army, and had no ability to resist.

When Yu Furuo, who was knocked to the ground, struggled to get up, he was shocked to see that the Han army was coming like a tide.

"My fifty thousand cavalrymen, is this the end?"

"Is God going to destroy our Great Xiongnu?"

Yu Furuo, half-kneeling on the ground, didn't even have the courage to escape, his face frozen in a moment of despair.
