In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 27 Fire Bull Array

"Brother Hutch, long time no see. How come you're all right? Why didn't your sister come this time?"

Both parties were very nervous in their first transaction, both worried that the other party was cheating, but Lin Rui broke the tense atmosphere with a smile.

"My father won't let my sister go out at night. I have brought four hundred cows. I hope you can make the deal as agreed."

Hutch didn't want to chat with Lin Rui. He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again, so he wanted to trade directly. After speaking, he pointed at the cattle behind him.

The last time he and his sister went back and told their father about the situation, he was severely punished by his father, who blamed them for leaking a lot of information about the Chahar Ministry, but he didn't say anything at all. How come it was leaked?

"Well, these are four hundred horses, and each horse has three cowhide. Brothers Hutch can send someone to confirm first. If there is no problem, how about we trade directly?" Lin Rui was also not in the mood to chat with him.

"Okay, you can also send someone to check the cows."

Then the two of them sent out the nine people around them to check. After confirming that everything was correct, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Hutch didn't hesitate. He left the cattle behind and hurried away with [-] horses, as if he was afraid that Lin Rui would regret it.

However, Lin Rui did not leave immediately. He did not send a signal until the other party was far away, and the large group of people who were ambushing on the hill immediately killed them.

This time almost everyone in the station was dispatched, leaving only Xiaocui and Zhang Xiuying to look after the house.

At this moment, there were dozens of men and women, all of them fully armed, and some of them were holding wet straw ropes in their hands.

"Brother Lin, are these Tatars really trading honestly?" Mrs. Niu came to Lin Rui and whispered.

"Well, how could they refuse such a good thing?"

"It's getting late, let's get ready quickly."

Following Lin Rui's order, everyone immediately got to work. First, they wrapped the oil-soaked straw rope around the cow's tail, and then tied up the cow's mouth with a noose. Dozens of people were busy at work. It took half an hour to get all four hundred cows ready.

"set off!"

Lin Rui didn't waste any time. With an order, everyone drove the cattle and rode towards their destination.

After walking for three hours, with only more than half an hour before dawn, everyone finally arrived at their destination.

This is a riverside northwest of their station, just upstream of the creek, less than fifteen miles away from their station.

At this time, the camp by the river had become noisy. In a short time, piles of bonfires were lit. All the adult men and women in the Kashgar tribe got up and picked up scimitars, bows and arrows.

The barking of dogs was particularly harsh in the quiet early morning. It was obvious that the Kashgar tribe was very vigilant. Lin Rui and the others were discovered before they even got close.

"what happened?"

Kashi also finished dressing and came to the front of the station.

"Clan leader, there is an enemy attack, it should be that group of Han people, take a look..."

Kashi followed his hand and found that hundreds of dark shadows were slowly approaching not far away.

"Don't panic, those are just horses. There are only less than a hundred Han people in that group. If they dare to come, they are looking for death!"

It was so dark that Kashgar thought the four hundred cows were horses.

Although I can't figure it out, how dare those Han people really come to steal the camp?But in order to avoid being ambushed again, we decided to wait for work and stay in the camp.

Anyway, as long as the opponent dares to get close, they will shoot them with arrows. It will be dawn in a while, and no matter what conspiracy the opponent has, they will have no effect under the iron hoofs of the warriors.

There is absolutely no need for the warriors to ride out in the dark now.

For this reason, Kashgar gathered almost all the people in the tribe who could draw bows in front of the station to prepare for shooting arrows, and also pulled all the carriages in the tribe in front.

And he and more than 200 adult warriors rode on horses and fired bows.

After the people of the Kashgar tribe were ready, Lin Rui and the others had already forced themselves to a mile away from the camp. After using the firelight to see the situation in the camp clearly, Lin Rui also sneered. Tonight, he would let the Kashgar tribe see what a fire cow is. Array.

"Get ready to light the fire!" Mrs. Niu quickly took out the flint and lit a pile of hay. Then everyone gathered around the hay and first lit the torches in their hands, and then used the torches to light the cow's tail.

Everyone seemed nervous and excited.

The hay wrapped around the cow's tail, combined with the cow hair, ignited almost immediately, and burned quickly with the blessing of the night wind.

The strong cows suddenly panicked and wanted to scream in pain, but their mouths were tightly tied and they couldn't scream, so they could only rush forward desperately.

Not long after, the four hundred cows started running like crazy, each one slapping their tails and shaking their heads desperately.

But the burning pain became more and more intense and unbearable, and he instinctively rushed towards the bright camp.

"Kill, follow me!"

Everyone was still in shock as they looked at the crazy cows. Lin Rui shouted loudly and took the lead in rushing up behind the cows.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars!"

Only then did everyone react and rushed forward one after another.

At this time, the Tatars in the camp were also a little panicked. Because the momentum of the opponent's charge was too terrifying, even Kashgar's face changed drastically, because the tail of the cow was filled with flames, which made him mistakenly believe that the opponent had hundreds of them. The cavalry suspected that they were coming from other tribes.

But at this time, the clansmen could only rely on their carriages to defend themselves, waiting for daybreak, and even more afraid to fight out.

"No, it's not a horse, it's a cow. It's all a cow on fire..."

A sharp-eyed Tatar finally saw clearly that the one charging over was not a horse, but a cow queen whose buttocks were on fire, and he shouted in horror.

"Quick, let go of the arrows!"

"Hurry up and shoot all these cows to death!"

Kashgar yelled equally anxiously, and as he spoke, he threw arrows at the cattle in front of him.

Others followed suit, firing their bows and arrows desperately, trying to stop the burning cattle.

Arrows rained down for a while, but cowhide was much thicker than horsehide, and the cows had already been numbed by the huge pain behind their buttocks, so even though their bodies were full of arrows, they not only did not stop but fell down. Get even crazier.

Rumble

"Run..."

Seeing the cattle rushing towards them like crazy, all the Tatars panicked and tried to escape. Even Kashgar quickly turned their horses' heads to avoid the impact of the cattle.

However, at a distance of dozens of steps, the crazy cattle rushed in instantly. First, they rushed to the dozen in front, knocking over a dozen carriages blocking the road and causing them to fall apart. The Tatars who were hiding behind the carriages were immediately knocked away. Got out.

Then more cattle rushed up and pushed out the Tatars who turned around to run away or dodge.

Some strong Tatars just escaped the goring of one cow and were trampled by another cow before they could get up.

Some Tatars also tried to hide in their tents, but their tents were still knocked down by the rampaging cattle.

Even the Tatars on horseback were knocked over by the cattle.

For a moment, the entire camp was filled with screams and howls, and there were cattle, sheep, horses and people running away in panic everywhere.

It wasn't until the cattle crossed the camp and crashed into the river that the Tatars, who had survived, got up shivering.

But before they could take a breath and look for their relatives, Lin Rui came up with his men to cover them up.

"Kill everyone standing!"

With a fierce look on his face, Lin Rui slashed a Tatar to the ground who had just gotten up and was still looking for weapons.

The others also beat the drowned dogs desperately, in groups of three and five. As long as the Tatars were standing, they would shoot them. As for the Tatars lying on the ground and wailing, they didn't care.
