Chapter 724: Matador vs. Great Fire Bull Formation (Please subscribe!)

Author: Linjiangjun

In the east of the afterglow of the setting sun, two thousand Yin cavalrymen with brightly colored feathers stood in the east of a black bird flag, their figures mysterious and majestic.

On either side of them were hundreds and thousands of barely domesticated bison.

That batch of bison is the secret weapon of the Chaoge tribe.

The Yin cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Spaniards, shocking them.

After Chen Shichang led the people to move to Chaoge City, Chief Yin Cha heard that Jinshan City was besieged, and immediately decided to lead the tribe's most elite cavalry to come to the rescue.

After all, they are not part of the Ming Dynasty now. The Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians in Jinshan City were wiped out by Spain, and their emerging Chaoge tribe is very close to being destroyed.

A few days ago, Chen Shichang led people to conduct investigation near Jinshan City.

But when he arrived, he discovered that the Spaniards were getting more and more reinforcements. If they did not rush into battle at the critical moment, his two thousand cavalry would most likely be beaten into pieces and never return.

According to that posture, Jinshan City could not be defended at all, so we had to wait for the governor to lead his men to break out, and then he would go to support.

During those days, they had been hiding in the nearby mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests were the home ground of the Yin people, and they tried to hide themselves, so it was difficult for the Spaniards to find them.

Tomorrow he saw Jinshan City on fire and saw people rushing out. He knew that the remaining Ming soldiers and civilians in Jinshan City were seeking a breakout!

"Set the cow on fire!"

Chen Shichang, who was familiar with Chinese military art, decided to use his ancestors' methods to wrongly punish the Spanish.

It just so happens that the Spaniards call themselves matadors, so the Yinzhou bison are on the wrong side of the fence with them!

The Yin people gathered more than a thousand cattle, dressed them in animal-patterned coats, tied their horns to sharp knives, and soaked their tails in oil. On a dark and windy night, Dongling lit the ox-tail reeds, and the bison were in pain and walked out of the tunnel they had dug.

Rushing towards the Spaniards.

The Fire Ox Formation trick was first invented by Tian Dan, but it should not be used indiscriminately, otherwise something may happen.

For example, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, a man named Shao Qing, after revolting against the Song Dynasty, followed Tian Dan's example and set up a "Fire Bull Formation" to resist the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers. He never expected to encounter Waterloo and be completely defeated.

In view of the overwhelming power of the Song army, Shao Qing planned to use Tian Dan's "Fire Bull Formation" to defeat the enemy. However, Shao Qing's eastern troops were mostly water thieves with poor discipline and poor confidentiality. The information he had requested so much was actually stolen by the Song army's commander-in-chief.

The spy sent by Wang De found out.

Wang De laughed loudly after receiving the detailed report, and Cuo Budong said: "It's an ancient method, but it can never be repeated. If you don't know how to change it, it's like catching your ears."

When the two armies were fighting, Shao Qing set up a "Fire Bull Formation". Wang De had already prepared and stood ready. When Shao Qing's herd of cattle rushed towards him, he gave an order to the east, and the Song army fired thousands of arrows.

After the cattle were attacked by the arrows, they immediately turned around and ran back, rushed into Shao Qing's formation, and ran rampant. Shao Qing's east side suffered numerous casualties and was completely defeated.

If the "Fire Bull Formation" was also implemented, why did Tian Dan win a complete victory, while Shao Qing suffered a complete defeat?

The main reason is that Shao Qing does not know how to adapt and will copy the tactics of the ancients.

The "Fire Bull Formation" tactic pioneered by Tian Dan has become a classic example of a surprise victory after the Yan army was defeated. It has been studied by later generations of generals, so there should have been many ways to crack it.

More than a thousand years later, Shao Qing followed the same example, how could he remain undefeated?

As Wang De said: "It's an ancient method, but it can never be repeated!"

Is war ever-changing and complicated? If we just copy the ancient tactics regardless of the situation, we will definitely fail.

Therefore, Chen Shichang wanted to prevent the bison from charging into his formation, so he first built a sandbag wall at the position of the Yin cavalry.

The charge of the flaming bison frightened the Spaniards. Although they called themselves matadors, if they faced the strong Yinzhou bison, they would have escaped.

Eight thousand Spanish soldiers formed a chaotic mass.

Those cows were different from what they usually saw. Not only did their heads have "long" sharp blades, but their bodies were also wrapped in various weird patterns.

The first feeling of the Spaniards was that a monster was coming.

"Zi Di, what kind of monster is that?"

"They shouldn't have come there!"

The Spanish soldiers were afraid, so a few of them reacted and raised their muskets and steel swords to resist.

None of this was Chen Shichang's careful design, which gave the Spaniards a huge visual and psychological impact.

Chen Shichang was very creative and installed an explosive bag with a lead on the body of the bison.

Isn't it wrong that bison are too cruel?

What a waste!

There is no other way but to reduce the loss of personnel, that is what Chen Shichang can do.

When the Spanish matador and the bison were fighting together, they suddenly found that the bison exploded with pieces of meat all over the sky. The morale of the Spanish army was at the bottom.

Concerned about whether they could escape the buffalo's self-destruction attack, the Spanish Army began to abandon its armor.

Throw away your armor to run faster.

But, Chen Shichang doesn't want those guys who destroyed Jinshan City to escape.

"kill!"

Chen Shichang waved his sword, and two thousand Yin cavalry behind him attacked the Spaniards from behind.

Since joining the Ming Dynasty, the weapons and equipment of the Chaoge tribe have been upgraded by leaps and bounds.

Arrowheads and weapons have changed from obsidian to steel, and the lethality of weapons has greatly increased.

Although obsidian weapons are not as good as Ming Dynasty's steel weapons, they still have a unique flavor.

Obsidian is a rock from Zhiwan Mountain. It is a bit like dark green glass and has high hardness.

The Yin people did not know how to smelt metals such as iron, so some Yin warriors used obsidian as weapons and then made obsidian knives.

And that stone blade is a deadly weapon, as sharp as a razor, no worse than an ordinary iron knife.

Because of its distinctive color, soldiers of the Ming Dynasty liked to collect that kind of knife (because it looked like an antique).

War is not the catalyst for civilization, and any conservative customs are shattered by the demands of the battlefield.

The Chaoge tribe relied on the advanced weapons provided by the Ming Dynasty to gradually expand and become the number one Yin tribe in California.

The Yin cavalry fired arrows while charging. The sharp arrows shot through the Spaniards who had abandoned their armor!

If they had not been forced to abandon their armor by the buffalo, the Yin cavalry's mounted shooting would probably have little effect.

After escaping from the self-exploding buffalo, the Spanish musketeers finally recovered. Although they lost their helmets and armor, they did not lose their guns!

They turned their guns around and then fired a shot. The Yin cavalryman holding a shield on one leg and a warhammer on the other leg had already rushed forward and hammered the Spanish soldiers to death like they were knocking cans.

When the Fire Bull charged into the formation, Xiao Wu and the others did not dare to mess around. Now that the situation is stable, if they don't charge now, then later.

"Kill!"

Xiao Wu, the governor of Jinshan, was overjoyed and led the Ming army and people to charge from the front.

Oh, that’s right, they are not the soldiers and civilians, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Wu has verbally admitted that they are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and can eat the imperial food!

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty raised their bayonets and rushed over with an overwhelming momentum. The Spaniards were attacked from two sides, throwing away countless corpses and retreating to both sides.

In that battle, the Spaniards stole chicken but failed to lose rice. Instead, they lost 4,000 army troops.

Half die, half escape.

Xiao Wu didn't like fighting either. Now that he was out of ammunition and food, he was ready to make a move. He waved his legs and roared, "Hey!"
