Chapter 533

That night, Ran Min led an army of [-] beggars and [-] cows to detour northward, intending to rush to the rear where the Mongolian army was stationed for a surprise attack.At the same time, the news that Yang Jiye was shot by Ran Min also spread to the Mongolian army.

In the Mongolian tent, Wang Baobao looked at Minmin Timur with a happy face and said with a smile: "Sister, your countermeasure has succeeded. Today Ran Min fought with Yang Jiye as soon as he arrived, and even shot Yang Jiye."

Minmin Timur sneered and said: "In this way, the hatred between the two of them will be unclear. As soon as they fight, we will attack Ran Min, and the Han army will be unable to argue with it."

Wang Baobao rubbed his palms and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, if Yang Jiye is injured and doesn't start fighting, he should retreat. With Ran Min's temper, he will definitely pursue him! Send the order, and the scouts will closely monitor the movements of Ran Min's army. The army is ready to send troops. !"

"Promise!" Wang Baobao gave the command, and the generals under the tent surrendered their hands one after another, but he didn't want to shake his head again and again: "No, no, no, the Han army is brave and invincible. I want to fight you. Last time I just harassed me and I agreed. This time it is I will definitely not go in hand-to-hand combat."

The Mongols were always fierce, and the only one who dared to say such things in Wang Baobao's face to be so cowardly was Kubilai who was frightened out of his wits by Li Yuanfang in Xiliang.In the first battle in Xiliang, Li Yuanfang used the chain knife to injure Kubilai inexplicably, so Kubilai respected the Han army like a ghost. Now Wang Baobao proposed to fight the Han army, but Kubilai immediately refused.

If ordinary people were so confused in the army, they would have been dragged out and hacked by the general long ago, but Kubilai was a high-ranking official, and he was a close minister of Temujin, whose status was much higher than Wang Baobao.All the generals dared not speak out, but Wang Baobao was the chief general this time, and Temujin meant to restore Kubilai's confidence, so Wang Baobao looked cold and said: "If you dare to confuse the army, I will kill you. I have made up my mind, when the time comes, you must go out to fight the enemy together!"

"Where did you come from? I want to go to you, but I won't go!" Kubilai didn't listen to Wang Baobao's advice, and he opened the big tent and was about to go out.

Wang Baobao said angrily: "Come here, suddenly there will be a cowardly battle, tie him up for me, and send him to the battlefield in the future. My Mongolian men are all great heroes. You are so cowardly, you might as well die on the battlefield."

Obtaining Wang Baobao's order, these generals were polite to Kubilai, and tied up Kubilai's five flowers and prepared to take him to the battlefield in the future.

The time came to the second day in a blink of an eye. In order to show the Mongols a show, the Qihuo Army, led by Deputy General Guo Wei, went to the Han army camp to call for battle.In the Han army, however, the flag of exemption from battle was raised high, pretending that Yang Jiye was injured and dared not fight.They only shot some bows and arrows at each other, but they didn't really fight.

Afterwards, the begging army kept yelling and cursing, so Lin Yu led the cavalry out of the camp and rushed into the begging army who came to call for battle.Naturally, it wasn't a real fight, but the cavalry of the two sides clashed back and forth, with gaps in between.

But the Mongolian scouts who watched from a distance didn't know that this was acting. The cavalry charged and the sky was full of dust, and their sight was unclear. In addition, the soldiers on both sides shouted fiercely.

When Wang Baobao got the news, he immediately led [-] cavalry to the south.

Several hours later, Wang Baobao led the cavalry to the north of the Han army's camp ten miles away, making people scout the situation.

But at this time, a cavalry soldier from the rear army rushed over and said anxiously: "General, if something bad happens, a cavalry will go out to fight, under the banner of Ran character!"

"General, the Han army and the Qihuo army did not fight each other, and they have already surrounded us." There were also cavalry flying horses from the direction of the former army to report.

"No, Ran Min and the Han army didn't fall for it, but instead we fell for their trap and their ambush!" Wang Baobao yelled that it was not good.

Min Min Tie Mu'er was full of anger, and shouted coquettishly: "The messenger must have exposed his identity and dared not tell when he came back. It really hurt me."

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility!" Wang Baobao sighed, looked at the two scouts, one in front and one behind, and asked, "How many people are in the rear army, and how many people are in the front army?"

"There are only about 3000 people behind!"

"There are more than 1 in front, and they are encircling them!"

Wang Baobao quickly made a decision: "There are few soldiers in the rear, let's break through from the rear!"

With an order, the five thousand Mongolian cavalry immediately turned their horses and headed north.

However, in the north, Ran Min had already set up a trap to wait for them.On the grassland, there was a piece of green grass, and a group of cows were eating the green grass leisurely.These cattle are divided into several rows in the north, connected by ropes, and stand facing south.

On the body of the cow, a lot of hay is tied, and the body is covered with fire oil.Within a range of nearly a hundred paces in the rear, the soldiers of the Qihuo Army bent their bows and set up arrows. The arrows were also tied with cloth strips doused with kerosene. Launch the fire bull formation to the herd.

In history, Tian Dan sent the Huoxen formation to defeat the Yan army, and Le Yi even defeated more than [-]% of Qi, and he also turned defeat into victory because of this battle.The fire bull array has also been used by later generations many times, but most of them were unsuccessful, because the cows frightened by the fire rushed not only to the enemy, but also to their own people, so most of them ended up in a situation where both sides were hurt.

Ran Min knew that if the fire ox array was not used well, it would not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt himself, so he had already prepared for it.

This herd of cows was deliberately starved by Ran Min for two days. When they arrived here, Ran Min deliberately let them stand facing south. The ground was covered with dense grass. Now these cows could not move away when they saw the grass, so they honestly faced the south and ate. grass.

When an animal panics, the first reaction is to flee forward, but there are some differences, some will spin around in place, or run in the opposite direction.But fleeing forward is the overwhelming majority.These herds of cattle are connected with each other by ropes. If the Mongolian cavalry go north later and Ran Min orders to shoot rockets, the cattle will go south after being frightened. Involvement, all ran to the south.

Under running, the herd of cattle would break the rope, but by then the herd of cattle had already rushed into the cavalry army and disrupted the formation of the cavalry.

Wang Baobao led the cavalry to the north, and was about to be blocked by the Fire Bull Formation. The vanguard of the former army did not know the Fire Bull Formation, so he ordered to rush over.

At this point, Ran Min shouted and ordered: "Light the rocket for me!"

"hold head high……"

Immediately, the soldiers of the Qihuo Army lit rockets one by one, and the arrows shot towards the cattle. The rockets shot into the cattle and landed on the cattle. The cattle uttered painful cries under the pain.Not only that, the rocket also quickly ignited the hay tied to the cows, poured kerosene on the hay, and was immediately ignited. In a short time, more than a thousand cows were on fire.

The herd of cattle was exalted in pain, and the eyes of each of the cattle turned red, and the cattle had already gone mad.

Animals go crazy, even dogs like animals, people don't dare to mess with them easily, not to mention the bison on the grassland, they are strong and bigger than horses, even lions would shy away from them when they go crazy.

With red eyes, the cows galloped towards the Mongolian cavalry, and the ground trembled, as if the sky was falling apart.Its speed is faster than that of a horse. Some cows are spinning around in place, and some are running in other directions, but they are connected by ropes in the middle, and they are all pulled south by the large army.

The huge herd of cattle rushed forward, and the Mongolian cavalry were at a loss. At such a distance, they had no time to turn around and retreat.Arrows were shot at the cows one by one, but they didn't have the slightest effect. They could only make the cows even more crazy.

In a short while, the herd of cattle rushed into the Mongolian cavalry. At this time, the rope connecting them was also torn, and they rushed into the cavalry without restraint, running back and forth like crazy.The horses ridden by the Mongolian cavalry were also frightened and were not under the control of the cavalry. Once the fire bull formation came out, the Mongolian cavalry would be defeated without a fight!

The entire Mongolian front army was thrown into a mess by the mad bull, and even the horses were frightened and ran around, throwing their masters under the horses, trampling countless people to death.

At Wang Baobao's place, there was also a mad cow jumping over at this moment, and the Chinese army was a little flustered. Wang Baobao was shocked and said: "This is a fire bull formation that can't be defended at all. Soldiers, retreat!"

As Wang Baobao said, he protected Minmin Timur and turned to the east to escape from the impact of the Fire Bull Formation.The soldiers of the central army and the rear army saw this as well, but the fire bull had already rushed in, and there were not many who could leave.And some cattle had already rushed outside, and the horses were frightened and out of control.

There were only some generals and warhorses who reluctantly obeyed their master's control and left the main formation.More than 500 people got out of trouble, bypassing the broken formation that had been impacted and heading north.

"Take me quickly, I don't want to die!" Kubilai shouted anxiously from within the Chinese army.Kubilai didn't want to come at first, but Wang Baobao tied him up and brought him here. His original intention was to show him that the Han army was not invincible, but he fell into the scheme of the Han army and was routed by the fire bull formation.

But the soldiers in the fire ox formation couldn't care less about him. If they were rushed under the horse by the fire ox, they would die, and the horses were frightened and couldn't control them. They all remembered sweating profusely. No chaotic formation.

Kubilai's hands were tied, he was a good horse when he sat down, but unfortunately he didn't have hands to control it, under Feng Teng left and right, he saw a mad cow rushing towards him, the horse was frightened, and immediately He overturned Kubilai to the ground, and was trampled to death by the rushing fire bull.

It's no wonder that Wang Baobao and Minmin Timur, the four mighty Mongolian generals, died like this. There was nothing wrong with their schemes. It just happened that Wei Xiaokuan, an ancestor who used countermeasures, was in Yanmen, and Wei Xiaokuan saw through it. This caused the defeat of the Mongolian army.Wang Baobao was determined to restore Kubilai's confidence, but he never thought of indirectly killing Kubilai.
