Chapter 316 Fire Bull Array
Jie Li Khan had rested, and he would never have thought that a team was staring at him and his army not far from his camp.
On the hillside, Xue Rengui and No. 2 and others were looking carefully at the Turkic camp not far away.
"It seems that the old thief Jie Li is back here to rest tonight. Where has the army led by the marshal reached?" Xue Rengui looked at the camp not far away and asked in a low voice.
"A previous rumor said that the army was at least five days away from us. When the marshal came over, the old thief Jie Li had already run away. I see..."
"I also know that when the marshal comes, the old thief Jie Li will have already run away, so I don't plan to wait for the marshal to come." Xue Rengui interrupted No. 3's words and said there.
"What do you mean?" No. 3 looked at Xue Rengui in confusion, and everyone else looked at him.
"I mean, we will determine the time when the old thief Jie Li will leave based on the position of the marshal. Since the marshal will arrive at least five days, the Turks who have been staring at the marshal's army that have been exploring horses, will not know, so they should be repairing for two days here. So you guys, do we have more opportunities to arrange the fire bull formation? I am very yearning for the fire bull formation?" Xue Rengui looked at the Turkic camp with a smile and said to them.
"No. 1, it turns out that you have made this plan for a long time. I have always felt that you asked us to take the cattle captured from the Turkic tribes because you were afraid that we would have no food. So you planned to use it here." Cheng Chumo looked at Xue Rengui with surprise and admiration and said.
"You know how to eat. When fighting, you can't just think about what's happening in front of you. You should look longer. Today we will have a good rest. Tomorrow on the 9th, you will take your people to slowly drive over the cattle we left behind. Then we will deal with the Turks in front of you at midnight." After that, Xue Rengui took them down from the hill and rushed back to their hiding place.
At this time, Li Jing and others who were chasing behind the Turks had already divided into two groups, one led by Li Jun to advance along the direction of the Turks' marching, and one cavalryman and one cavalryman, one by one, followed the direction guided by the scouts, and quickly marched towards the Turkic army.
This judgment was made by Li Jing before getting information sent by someone from Xue Rengui and others.
After all, Li Jing didn't want Jie Li Khan to go deep into the grassland like this. This was undoubtedly letting the tiger go back to the mountain. He wanted to completely defeat Jie Li before Jie Li completely got rid of their army.
In this way, Li Jing led his men to the Turkic army day and night, and the White Tiger Guard was also actively preparing.
Two days passed soon. Tonight, there was a rare good weather on the grassland. The vast starry sky and the moon hanging high in the sky made the Turks feel very good because there were no attacks from pursuers in the past two days. Since they lit a bonfire and were so unhappy to sing and dance there, they played until late at night before they stopped to rest.
The Turks never thought that behind this tranquility, two human-eating tigers were already targeting them, waiting for them to slack off, and they launched a fatal blow to them.
"Dingfang, you have found any traces of the White Tiger Guard in these days." At this moment, in a hidden place behind the Turkic army, Li Jing, who only felt it today, looked at the man in front of him with a worried look on his face.
"Marson, my subordinates have not found any trace of the White Tiger Guard in the past two days. Have they really been here?" Su Dingfang looked at Li Jing in confusion.
"Didn't you find it? It seems that they are hiding well, so don't worry about them. When we start attacking them, they will come over. You can go down and rest first. Dawn is the time to decide the outcome." After saying that, Li Jing asked Su Dingfang and other generals to go down and rest, because the arrangement had been arranged, and we will wait for the decisive battle tonight.
On the other side, Xue Rengui and the others were already preparing. They didn't know that Li Jing was already behind the Turks with his men, but even if they knew, Xue Rengui would not change easily, but instead convinced Li Jing to join them.
Time passed slowly while waiting, and after midnight, the entire Turkic camp calmed down.
Xue Rengui and the others were wearing armor and holding weapons. After Cheng Chumo's Fire Bull Formation attacked the camp, they covered up and killed him.
"Brothers, I've worked, drive the cattle herds to the Turkic camp." Looking at the cattle herds that were ready to go, Cheng Chumo looked at the sky and shouted loudly.
After receiving Cheng Chumo's order, the soldiers of the White Tiger Guard, who had already prepared, drove thousands of cattle with tung oil on their bodies and quickly headed towards the Turkic camp.
Less than twenty miles away from the Turkic camp, the Turks on duty in the camp discovered the attacking herd of cattle and sporadic torches.
At first they didn't think much about it, and they thought it was the cattle driven by the tribes that came to join.
However, when the cattle herd reached the camp less than five miles away, the light of the torches stopped, and then the Turks saw countless fires shooting towards the cattle herd. When the firelight touched the cattle herd, the entire cattle herd suddenly burned a raging fire. The ignited cattle herd was also frightened by the sudden fire. In addition, the scorching temperature came from herd, the frightened cattle herd continued to speed up towards the Turkic camp.
Faced with this sudden change, the Turkic soldiers on duty, before they could warn them, the thousands of cattle herds of scattered in raging fire collided and crashed into the camp's simple camp gate and rushed into it.
The cattle herd that rushed into the camp instantly made the entire Turkic camp become chaotic. Countless yurts were ignited by the cattle herd, and some unlucky guys trampled the fire-ridden herd that suddenly rushed in to death in their sleep.
This sudden change made many Turks at a loss. They desperately avoided the herd of cattle, wailing and shouting.
"What did you find out? Why is it so messy outside?" Jie Li Khan, who heard the shouting, ran out of his yurt in dishevel, shouting loudly.
Like Jie Li Khan, his aides, ministers and generals also rushed out of their yurts.
"King, somehow countless fire cattle were rushing to our camp." A Turkic soldier who had just organized people to kill several fire cattle rushing towards Jie Li Khan's yurt room, looked at Jie Li Khan in despair and said.
"What, the fire bulls are on fire, what's going on? How come the fire bulls attack? What's going on? Hurry up and take people to kill the fire bulls, and then order the generals to collect the soldiers. It might be done by the Tang people." Jie Li Khan heard the soldier's words and looked at the camps with fire and chaos in front of him. He thought that it might be the Tang army's work, and he ordered loudly.
