Chapter 472 Fire Bull Formation!
The battle here didn't last more than two days before the news spread back to Yanmen Pass like crazy!
During the time Chen Changan was behind enemy lines, Xixia's offensive had been very fierce, but suddenly it stopped, and Yan Qing realized that something big was happening.
Even if they retreated, they still sent out scouts at the point where the two armies intersected.
Yan Qing's black hair fell softly behind her like a waterfall, and was casually tied up with just a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair playfully fell around her fair neck, adding a bit of agility.
She has a pretty face, eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like autumn water containing stars, and her eyes are full of charm when they move around.
She was wearing a moon-white brocade short jacket with narrow sleeves and a smoky blue silk skirt, and was looking at a map.
What exactly happened in the heart of the desert?
"Report! News from the front line!"
The messenger walked in hurriedly and spoke seriously to Li Wuling and Yan Qing.
Everyone stood up, they knew that the matter must have been investigated clearly.
"What's the matter?" The old general's voice was full of excitement.
"According to the news, Master Chen Changan and his men disappeared for more than half a month and arrived at Chiling seven days ago!"
The old general clenched his fists and looked happy!
Unexpectedly, the road Chen Changan mentioned can actually lead to Western Xia. This kind of tactic has never been seen in decades from ancient times to the present.
"How many people have been killed on our side? Is Chen Changan okay?"
Yan Qing asked seriously with a trembling heart.
"That... was not reported." The messenger shook his head, "but our spies have already reported it in detail. The Chu army fought two major battles after entering the territory of Western Xia."
"In the first battle, we used Chen Yuwei's scout camp to sneak into Blackwater City. The soldiers there thought they were captured prisoners with arrows and had no defenses at all. We drugged them and started to kill them!"
"We fought the first battle towards Xixia and won a great victory!"
"it is good!!"
In an instant, the tent seemed to explode, and everyone applauded and cheered!
The cheers were like surging waves, one after another, shaking the tents slightly.
Two armies are facing off, with life and death hanging in the balance between swords and sabers. Nothing could be more touching than this news!
Not to mention that it has nothing to do with them, if they hadn't been here with the help of the enemy, would Chen Changan have been able to be so successful?
This means that their bloody battles over the days have paid off!
It means that the hope of surviving and returning victoriously has greatly increased!
At this moment, everyone in the tent was immersed in this great joy, promoting the prestige of our country!
Chu Xinghe smiled broadly, but was a little unconvinced: "Humph, Chen kid is really capable! But if I hadn't sent Chen Yuwei out, how could he have achieved such a victory? So, half of the credit goes to me."
The generals laughed even louder. Chu Xinghe shook his head and laughed out loud as well.
"Master Chen rested in Blackwater City for two days, and then headed towards Cangqiongsha City!"
The messenger spoke again, and everyone became nervous.
Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, "How is the battle situation? I guess... Hey, this is where the enemy guards the center. It is protected by three cities around it. It is the distribution center for supplies."
"The one guarding this city is Su He. Because he is at odds with Prince Chi Shi, he was deliberately assigned to do logistical work under Prince Chi Shi... If he had come to the battle, we would have to die guarding Yanmen Pass."
Many people present had fought with Su He before, and they nodded in agreement.
Yan Qing's heart also rose: "Battle situation?"
"A great victory!"
"Hiss!!!"
Inside the tent, the air seemed to freeze in an instant, with the flickering flame of the tallow candle becoming the only moving scene!
The light and shadows danced wildly on the generals' faces, as if to tear a hole in the oppressive atmosphere. The messenger's words were like a bolt of thunder!
In an instant, there were gasps one after another!
You know, Cangqiongsha City is not Blackwater City!
That city that carries glory is protected by three surrounding cities and has a general who has won every battle. Not to mention that it is impossible to break in, what can you do even if you get in?
According to the war losses over the years, one Xixia person is replaced by three Chu people. Even if Chen Changan is fully staffed...
But they only need two thousand people!
What's more, this is a siege!
impossible!
The messenger shook his head and said, "It's true!"
"Lord Chen summoned the entire army, changed into the attire of the Xixia people, and drove their war horses through the desert. Along the way, they were very arrogant, which was in line with the habits of the Xixia people."
The generals all opened their eyes wide and then gave a thumbs up.
It sounds easy, but it takes a lot of courage to act so brazenly in the enemy's hinterland.
"They arrived at the city near nightfall, but Su He refused to open the gate for them." The messenger continued, "Lord Chen only said one sentence, and Su He opened the gate."
"This...what did Chen Changan say?" Yan Qing was curious.
You are not a general of Western Xia, what else can you say?
The messenger gritted his teeth and said, "Master Chen said that Nizule and Boerle were not lying!"
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, while the other generals laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, Lord Chen is truly amazing!"
"I really admire Master Chen now. He has such a good reaction ability under such conditions. I admire him!"
"But," the old general said intently, "Chen Changan's actions have undoubtedly increased the other party's anger. There are so many people there that we don't know, and the Xixia people are feeling depressed... Isn't this increasing their anger value?"
The generals all nodded and looked at the messenger worriedly.
"Yes, Master Chen is deliberately provoking them!"
The messenger nodded and said, "Su He opened the city gate. Lord Chen did not go in, but let the warhorse go in first! Then he ordered Liu Baizhong to fire the rocket!"
Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "This is... the Fire Bull Formation!!"
Those present were all generals, so they naturally knew about the Fire Bull Formation.
Legend has it that it was invented a long time ago by a man named Tian Dan.
They covered each cow with a carefully tailored scarlet silk coat, which was painted with patterns of strange beasts with bared fangs and claws. Under the light of torches, the cows looked eerie and ferocious.
Two sharp knives were tied tightly to the bull's horns, like fangs breaking out of the ground.
At the ox's tail, reeds soaked in oil are carefully wrapped, like a fuse ready to go.
The soldiers quickly lit the reeds from the ox's tail.
In an instant, flames jumped up, and the flames greedily licked the ox's tail, and severe pain instantly spread throughout the ox's body.
These enraged beasts raised their heads and roared wildly, shaking the whole area, and rushed towards the Yan army camp outside the city like crazy.
Thousands of fire bulls, like thousands of burning meteors, streaking across the night sky, dragging long tails of fire, crashing into the Yan army with an overwhelming force.
The sharp knives on the bull's horns easily cut through the tent and pierced the human body. Wherever they went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the tent was instantly engulfed in flames.
Five thousand warriors were like tigers out of the cage, following the fire bulls and charging bravely.
The fewer the better.
"Yes, it's the Fire Bull Formation!"
"The horses were smeared with grease, and they ran wildly, setting the city on fire!"
All the generals stretched out their hands, wanting to applaud, but at this moment, the messenger changed the subject: "But the Xixia people are very brave. As soon as they met, they killed a hundred of our soldiers!"
"Lord Chen is in danger, the State of Chu is in danger!!"
