The terrain of Tiemen Canyon is majestic, the two mountains are sandwiched, and the first line is passed.Its road leans on the strange stone on the left, faces the deep stream on the side, the water flow is surging, the bending ring is tortuous, the secluded and dangerous obstacles, and there are strong winds from time to time.In addition, the Han army built a male checkpoint here within a few months, and it really has the potential to be opened, which can be called the hot spring pass in the Western Regions.Therefore, even if he was only two miles away from his allies, if the king of Richai had something very important, he could only send someone to swim downstream along the turbulent water to report the news.However, because the gap is somewhat large, it can only maintain one-way communication.So on weekdays, it is necessary to rely on wolf smoke to confirm the offensive signal.On the tenth day of the fifth month, when the smoke from the dry wolf dung behind the iron gate was rising, and the color and location were about the same as agreed, the king of Rizhu, Xianxian Shan, was a little relieved, and comforted the king of Yanqi, the king of Yuli, the king of Weisu and others: "It seems that the cow cries heard in the morning were the food sent by the king of Youxian to the king of Puyin and the king of Yiwu, and it was definitely not that the Han army had reinforcements. ”When fighting outside, in addition to carrying dried meat and cheese, the Huns often drove the herd, cattle, sheep and horses could not only produce milk, but also kill and eat, and the king of Rizhu did not have much suspicion.Since the other side invited them to besiege together, even though it was known that the iron gate with the urn city would be difficult to break, the king of Rizhu still ordered the three servant states to gather two thousand troops as usual and advance to a position half a mile away from the iron gate.Since more than a month ago, the attack has become a routine perfunctory, they dare not provoke the Han army's long-range rhubarb crossbow, and the Han army has not come out, and the two sides have reached a tacit understanding.But there is one thing that Yanqi and Yuli people must do every day, that is, to solve the iron gate collectively, hoping to anger the Han people.The mooing of the cows was louder, probably the Huns on the west side were slaughtering the cattle?
There was smoke inside the Iron Gate, was it the friendly attack that worked?
When they yawned and laughed while untying their shackles and aiming, the iron gate of the Guandong Gate, which was full of axe marks and smoke and fire marks, slowly opened!
The Yanqi and the Yuli were all shocked, and before they could react, several bulls squeezed out of the door, with sharp sticks tied to their horns, and their bodies were on fire, and they rushed towards this direction with red eyes.On the wall of the Iron Gate Gate, Liu Yaoguang looked at the bulls that squeezed out of the city gate one after another, rushing forward desperately, and said with a smile: "This group of beasts really obeys the command, Ren Jun, I admit that what you said about the art of war is true." ”Liu Yaoguang had never heard the story of Tian Dan using the Fire Bull Formation to break the Yan generals in Jimo City before, and won more with less, and at first he didn't believe that this could be used as a tactic."
Ren Jun, although I don't know the art of war, I don't see herdsmen driving cattle in Wusun.""
You know, these animals never go in a straight line when they graze, they just follow the cow in circles, and the herders have to keep driving to the left and right to move forward?
And once the tail is on fire, it is more likely to run around, so Tian Shan uses the fire bull array?
Aren't you afraid that the ox will turn around and rush the closer side first?
”Liu Yaoguang thought about it, indeed, there are many examples of later generations blindly following Tian Dan to engage in the fire bull formation, and finally overturning.The stupidest one is Du Fu's friend, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuan, who wanted to use an ox cart for 2,000 times to resist the Anshi rebels, but the cattle were frightened by the enemy's drumbeat and collided on the spot, which disrupted the Tang army array, and the result was naturally a fiasco.Ren Hong's head: "How to make the fire ox rush forward, only hurting the enemy and not himself, this is indeed a difficult problem." ”Fortunately, they have a geographical advantage.The urn city of the iron gate is a natural cattle pen, sealed on all sides, and the straw sent from the canal plough city, bundles are stacked at the corner of the city wall and are ignited, and the fire and heat wave force the cattle to crowd out of the door.Soldiers kept throwing torches into the herd, igniting the reed poles on their tails, and the cattle were so frightened that they rushed out of the only open door.What Ren Hong and Yaoguang need to do is to watch the play happily in the city.The Weili and Yanqi people not far away were still stunned at first, until the bulls rushed over, and then hurriedly opened their bows and arrows.But the cowhide is thick and strong, which is so easy to kill, it has an arrow on its head and body, and the blood does not stop, it is even more ferocious, flicking its tail on fire, and crashing into the pile of people, flying several people, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to stab it to death with a spear.One head is easy to solve, but more than 100 heads rush over one after another to be in trouble, and the galloping cattle are like a torrent, rushing the front row of the plough and Yanqi array to pieces, or picking people off the cliff, or trampling under their feet and trampling half to death.The outside of the Iron Gate Pass was already narrow, and the lethality of the cattle was exerted to the maximum, and after a moment of chaos, when the cattle were almost killed, it was found that the Han army inside the Iron Gate Pass had taken this opportunity to come out one after another and set up a formation under the pass.It was a phalanx of three hundred men, twenty in a row and fifteen in a row.The soldiers wore short black iron armor in addition to their plain curly robes, brown scarves wrapped around their foreheads, and hemp shoes on their feet.The classes are long soldiers, swords and shields, and crossbowmen.The people in front of them were holding a divination halberd and a spear, but Sun Shiwan was the only one carrying Ge.Behind him was a soldier holding a vermilion lacquer dry shield in one hand and a ring-headed sword in the other, and Han Dangdang was also among them.The space to the left and right is filled with crossbowmen in light attire, which makes it easy for them to find a vantage point to fire their crossbows.And Xi Chongguo, who was standing at the front of the team, was even more armed to the teeth, he was wearing fish scale armor, wearing an iron scarf on his head, protecting most of his face, stepping on a high-top leather scarf, and holding a long sword for holding both hands.As he shouted, the crowd began to move slowly forward.The scattered cattle between the two sides would sometimes run westward, but they were frightened by the flat spears, so they turned around and rushed towards the sparse Yanqi, and even the brutes could see which side was more threatening to them.Ren Hong, who completely substituted the character of "strategizing", did not participate in the war, and was only responsible for the drum beat and flag."
The ox is shocked and rushes forward, and the enemy army will be chaotic, so you can take advantage of it."
When he rolled his sleeves and beat the drum, he said: "The fire bull is actually just a pewter spearhead to scare people, and what can really break the enemy is to rely on the iron wall of my great Han armor!"
”"Knock knock, knock knock."
The Han soldiers followed the drumbeat of the city, first slowly, then briskly, and finally trotting!
Looking at the Han army's armor formation that was getting closer and closer, not only the Yuli people, Yanqi people, and Weisu people, but even the Huns who were supervising the battle in the rear were also frightened.Their already sparse array was swept away by the herd, and they had no desire to fight, except for a few Huns who subconsciously fired arrows into the distance, the rest began to slowly retreat.In their eyes, the Han army is much more terrifying than the fire bull!
But the road is narrow, you push me, and the speed of retreat is extremely slow, while the Han army is much simpler, they only need to stare at the enemy in front of them, and they don't even need to fight, they just need to be one by one, stepping on the footprints of the robe, and advancing straight forward.When the two sides come into contact, the tide of battle is one-sided.First, dozens of crossbow arrows flew out with a roar, shooting towards the Hu soldiers dozens of paces away, and they immediately fell down with almost no protection, like wheat cut down by a sickle.Immediately followed by a sharp iron spear halberd pierced straight over, with the help of momentum, poked blood holes in Hu Ren's body, and ruthlessly pulled back, the shiny spear tip dyed red, and then stabbed forward again!
Sun Million also held the newly arrived Changge and kept pecking violently, again and again, as if plowing the ground.Han Dangdang was holding a shield, but the ring-headed knife in his hand was always out of reach, and he shouted at the robe in front of him to save some for himself.The Hu people were even more flustered, in this narrow terrain, there were too many people to take any advantage, and no one resisted in vain, so they only turned around and fled.They were also cattle with their tails set on fire, and they were terrified and routed toward the camp miles away.The drumbeat of the iron gate became rapid, as if shouting: "Forward, forward, forward!"
”In the panic, people constantly jumped off cliffs, either voluntarily or forced, and some were pierced by spears and fell in rows, wailing incessantly.The Han soldiers in the front row stepped over them, and the sword and shield bearers in the back took the time to make up for it, ending their suffering.From the perspective of Ren Hong and Liu Yaoguang, it can only be seen that the 300 Han army is like driving cattle and sheep, driving 2,000 enemy troops eastward, leaving countless corpses all the way to the front of their camp.No one in the Han army array stopped, from Xi Chongguo to ordinary soldiers, they all firmly believed in one thing: 300 people can not only drive 2,000 people away, 300 people, and even 5,000 people!
Just forward, forward!"
Cunning Han Chinese."
The unrest in the camp and the fact that the Sun Dynasty was even more anxious and red-eyed by the Emperor Xianxian Shan caught them off guard by this counterattack, and the Han army was still firmly advancing eastward, and it was the fleeing friendly troops that opened the way for it, like a frightened herd of cattle.The sages knew very well that if the 2,000 men were allowed to rush into the camp, the 3,000 people in it would also be in chaos, which would lead to a chain of routs.Three hundred men defeated five thousand?
This will make the entire Western Regions countries terrified, and he will achieve the invincible prestige of the Han army by chasing the kings and sages every day, and the battle after that will no longer be able to be fought."
Don't think!"
So the sages dusted their hair ruthlessly, let people erect antlers in front of the camp, closed the gate of the wall, and a thousand Huns dismounted and stood in the wooden fence, and the horned bow in their hands set up arrows, raised high, and did not fire!
They were waiting for the order of the king of the day.Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps."
Put!"
With the order of the king of the sun, thousands of bowstrings trembled slightly, and the arrows on them had already roared out.They landed in an arc in the narrow valley like a hailstorm.There were many wails, but it was not the Han soldiers who were nailed to the ground by arrows, but the fleeing friendly soldiers!
The Hu people of the Western Regions did not welcome the friendly army, but fell a large area after being hit by cold arrows, and were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do."
The king of the sun, he actually ordered to target the friendly army!"
At the head of the Iron Gate, the sharp-eyed Liu Yaoguang saw this scene from afar.Ren Hong stopped the drum beat and sighed with some regret."
The gecko has a broken tail, and the car is abandoned to protect the handsome.""
The sage is Shan, and he is also a wolf!"
