Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

“…scream?”

Wanyan Gao blinked and took two steps forward with some confusion. The night wind was quite strong, and the two small braids hanging behind her head were swayed by the wind. He could faintly hear the calls of cows and sheep.

Who is still herding so late at night?
Perhaps due to insufficient rest, Wanyan Gao's thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "Something is wrong. Go out and place the barricades forward, and the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen will form a formation in the back. What about the archers? Have them guard the camp!"

The Mouke responded and quickly gathered the soldiers outside. The tightly closed gate of the village had just opened a crack, and a fire suddenly flickered in the darkness in the distance. Wanyan Gao frowned and looked over there. The fire over there seemed to be connected into one.

"...setting fire from such a distance?" As soon as the doubtful words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt the flames shaking, the ground trembling, and a faint roar was heard.

Sea of ​​fire...

Move over!
The shrill cries of cattle and sheep were heard in the night sky, followed by increasingly loud roars.

"Night attack... prepare for defense—"

Wanyan Gao roared instinctively, and then his lips, which had just closed, gradually opened again. His eyes gradually widened, and he stared outside the camp gate in amazement. The distance was getting closer, and the flames dispelled the night. The herds of cattle and sheep covered in flames were like fire bullets shooting towards him.

It’s the Fire Bull Formation!

Bright flames burned in the pupils, the cattle's hooves cracked the grass, the flames spread and burned on the cattle's backs, and sad cries came from the mouths of cattle and sheep. The swaying flames, as more than two hundred cattle and sheep ran, rushed towards the military camp with the momentum to destroy everything.

Behind the crowded camp gate, Wanyan Gao's mind went blank for a moment. The next moment, his heart almost jumped out of his throat: "Hold on—"

He pulled the reins of his mount, turned around and ran.

The madly rolling flames moved forward quickly under the hooves of cattle and sheep, and crashed into them with a loud bang amidst screams.

Moo——

A low sound of horns exploded, followed by the sound of shattering chevaux de frise. The beast with red eyes and a pair of sharp horns slammed into the door of the military camp. The door shook backwards. The soldiers of the Jin army gritted their teeth and held the gate. Someone standing in the middle looked at the sharp horns protruding an inch in front of him in horror. More cattle and sheep rushed over.

bang bang bang-

There was a series of banging noises as the mad animals rammed the door with their heads or bodies.

Bang——

The soldiers flew backwards suddenly. The load-bearing wooden piles could not withstand the force of the impact and broke with a bang. The entire gate, along with the pillars, fences, and watchtowers beside it, collapsed backwards. The soldiers who were unable to dodge were directly knocked down on the spot along with the fire bulls that rushed in.

Some fire cows and fire sheep could not endure the torment of the flames and died in the ruins together with the people. Some struggled to stand up while wailing on the ground, and roared "Moo", and rushed forward. The beasts coming from the back continued to rush in, directly enlarging the gap.

Some frightened soldiers held their guns in both hands, not knowing how to dodge, and screamed "Ahhhhh——" in fear. A huge force with fire hit them head-on, and the sound of bones breaking in the chest was heard. The whole person was knocked to the ground, and heavy cow hooves stepped on him, breaking bones and piercing his heart and lungs. The Jin soldier opened his eyes wide, and was stepped on by someone from behind, who didn't know whether it was a cow or a sheep, and his face collapsed.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Hundreds of cattle and sheep swarmed in, the creatures under the flames madly crashed into everything they saw, bodies on fire pushed over the fleeing soldiers in front, human bodies were caught under the hooves, torsos were twisted, limbs were broken, internal organs gushed out of mouths with blood, some also ran into tents while running, panicked shouts rang out in the tents, some figures ran out using their hands and feet, were knocked to the ground, their lifeless eyes reflected the burning tents, blood and corpses continued to spread and extend, cattle and sheep carrying flames were also gradually dying, and the fire was gradually spreading in the military camp.

Outside the Jin army camp, Du Fu and Xi Sheng waved their arms and shouted "Charge!"

Two thousand cavalrymen and seven thousand infantrymen, led by their respective officers, rushed madly towards the burning camp.

The flames were still spreading inside, and a torrent of cavalry and infantry had already swept along the road with a burning smell.

In the crowded and chaotic camp, Wanyan Pu Jianu hastily put on his armor and walked out of the tent, looking in astonishment at the chaotic camp. Groups of people ran past him, most of their disheveled figures covered in blood. A fire bull ran over, scaring the Jin general so much that he took a step back with the sword in his hand just raised.

bang——

"Moo..."

A heavy body fell in front of him, and the stench of burnt fur mixed with the aroma of roasted beef entered his nose. Wanyan Pu Jianu swallowed his saliva, raised his knife, took two steps outside, took a breath and shouted: "Don't panic, quickly form a formation--"

As the shout fell, the sound of horse hooves approached him. In the sight full of flames, a black horse seemed to rush out from the fire, waving a pair of iron maces to kill a Jin soldier on one side. The other soldier's black armor flashed metallic color in the fire. His dark face turned towards Wanyan Pu Jianu following the sound. With one hand pulling the reins, the black horse turned around and rushed over as if stepping on the flames on the ground.

"The Golden Thief, die—"

The iron mace was swung down, and the sound of metal clashing exploded. Soon, the Jin army general who was standing on the ground to fight fell in a pool of blood. …

at the same time.

Wanyan Gao was surrounded by his personal soldiers and retreated to the central army. He was blowing the horn and organizing the soldiers in the rear camp to form a defense line. He vaguely heard the sound in front of him. He glanced over there and saw, among the countless swaying figures, majestic figures riding on horses crossed the flames and swarmed towards this side.

"Bojilie, hurry up--"

After a few anxious shouts, Wanyan Xibusi rode over with his armor askew. He was shocked to see the cavalry rushing in. There was no force to resist in the front, so how could he delay these cavalry and wait for the soldiers in the rear camp to form a defense line? He did not allow Wanyan Gao to refuse and pulled his horse and hurriedly ran towards the gate of the rear camp.

Wanyan Gao sat on the saddle, rising and falling with the horse's advance, and glanced at the soldiers running out from all around him. His eyes rolled and he shouted, "Amai Bojilie, Amai Bojilie, wait! There are still soldiers who haven't escaped!"

"The Southern Army is chasing us from behind, don't worry about it!" Wanyan Xibushi was sweating profusely. He turned around and looked at them, and raised his voice: "If we don't run now, it will be too late."

Hundreds of cavalrymen suddenly rumbled away.

……

"Push forward, don't stop, follow the cavalry, follow the cavalry--"

Shouting and waving the hammer with both hands, the wind from the hammer whistled, the sound of crushing skulls was endless, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell. Di Lei rode his war horse and led his troops to charge in front of the infantry. Occasionally, a few Jin soldiers formed a small formation and came to kill. He smashed the spear heads and blades with the hammer and pounced on them fiercely. Under his swing, people fell everywhere and were killed on the ground by the infantry who caught up with them from behind.

A sturdy figure rushed over with a gun in hand and looked at Di Lei, whose half body was splattered with blood. "What's going on?"

"No big fish." He spat out and looked over there: "Where's Brother Han?"

"Nothing either." Han Shizhong said, looking in the direction of the cavalry's charge: "Eighty percent of them are either in the rear camp or have escaped. It seems that our infantry has not gained much this time. I will definitely ask the general for some cavalry later."

"Haha, I think so too." Di Lei laughed and put a hammer on his shoulder: "I think Captain Wang will gain a lot this time."

Han Shizhong looked into the distance without saying anything and nodded slowly.

……

The fleeing figures in front had already run out of the military camp. The Jin army soldiers, who were in a declining state, began to scatter, and many of them took the opportunity to sneak out.

Under the light of the fire in the back, Wanyan Gao saw this. When he saw a figure running out with hundreds of cavalrymen, the commander was overjoyed when he saw the other person's appearance: "Wulinda Taiyu, I'm here!"

The shouts echoed in the darkness. The figure riding the warhorse paused, then turned and rushed to the other side.

“Wulinda Taiyu!” Wanyan Gao’s eyes were bulging, and he stared at the figure running away with gritted teeth, then raised his finger viciously and said, “I will kill you sooner or later!”

Behind me, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer.

"Bojilie, go!"

Wanyan Xibushi shouted loudly and led the cavalry forward desperately. Seeing this, Wanyan Gao did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, but his face was gloomy.

Wuwuwu——

A horn was blown in the front, and Wanyan Xibushi was shocked and reined in his horse. Hundreds of people behind him stopped in panic, and the sound of horse hooves came from the front in the dark night.

Wanyan Gao's mouth twitched, and he looked at the middle-aged general beside him: "Amai Bojilie, what should we do?"

Wanyan Xibushi took a breath but couldn't utter a word.

Ahead, a flag with the word "king" on it appeared, and in the vague sight, a large number of cavalrymen were galloping amid the thundering sound of hooves.

From behind, in the light of the fire, it seemed as if a knight carrying flames was chasing after them, and the ground was shaking under the horses' hooves.

There are enemies in front and pursuers behind. (End of this chapter)
