The terrain of Tiemen Canyon is majestic, with two mountains standing together and a line connecting.

The road is leaning against a strange stone on the left side and facing a deep stream. The water flows surging, winding, deep and dangerous, and there are strong winds at times.

In addition, the Han army built a heroic pass here within a few months, and it was really a sign of ten thousand men, and it could be called the Western Regions Hot Spring Pass.

Therefore, even if there is only two miles away from the friendly forces, if there is something very important to King Rizhu, he can only send people to swim downstream along the turbulent water to report the news. However, because the gap is a bit large, one-way communication can only be maintained.

So on weekdays, we have to rely on wolf smoke to confirm the offensive signal.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, when the smoke from the dry wolf manure behind the Iron Gate Pass rose slowly, the color and position were similar to the agreed ones, the Xianxian of Rizhu Wang was relieved and comforted King Yanqi, King Yuli, King Weixu and others:

"It seems that the cattle cry I heard in the morning were the food sent by the Youxian King to King Puyin and King Yiwu, and it was definitely not the Han army that had reinforcements."

During the war outside, the Huns not only carried dried meat and cheese, but also often drove away the herds. The cattle, sheep and horses could produce milk or kill and eat it. There was no doubt that King Rizhu had too much doubt.

Since the opponent invited them to siege together, even though it was known that the iron gate with the urn city was difficult to break, King Rizhu still ordered three servants to gather two thousand soldiers as usual and advance to a position half a mile away from the iron gate.

From more than a month ago, the attack became a routine perfunctory approach. They did not dare to provoke the Han army's great yellow crossbow with a very long range. The Han army also stayed in the door and reached a tacit understanding.

But there is one thing that Yanqi and the people of Yuli must do every day, that is, collectively solve the problem of Tiemen Pass, hoping to anger the Han people.

The mooing of the cows was even louder. Perhaps it was the Huns on the west side who were slaughtering the cows? There was smoke coming out of the Ironmen Pass. Is it because the attack of friendly forces worked?

While they were yawning and joking, they unbuttoned the dandy's aim, the iron gate, full of axe marks and smoke and fire, slowly opened!

The Yanqi people and the Yuli people were shocked. Before they could react, a few bulls squeezed out of the door, with pointed wooden sticks tied to the horns, fire on their bodies, and red eyes rushed towards them.

...

On the wall of the iron gate and the urn city wall, Liu Yaoguang looked at the bulls who rushed out of the city gate and rushed forward desperately, and smiled and said, "This group of beasts is really obeying the command. Ren Jun, I admit that the military strategy you mentioned is true."

Liu Yaoguang had never heard of Tian Dan's story of using the Fire Bull Formation to defeat the Yan general's cavalry and defeating the more with fewer ones. At first, he didn't believe this could be used as a tactic.

"Ren Jun, although I don't understand military tactics, I have never seen herders driving cattle in Wusun."

"Do you know that these livestock never go straight when eating grass, but only follow the cow in circles. The herdsmen have to drive them from left to right to move forward. Once the tail catches fire, they are more likely to run around. Then, if the field uses the fire cattle array? Are you not afraid that the cow will turn around and rush the closer side to the side?"

Liu Yaoguang thought of it and said that indescribably, there were many examples of people who blindly imitated Tian Dan to build the Fire Bull Array, and finally failed.

The stupidest one is Du Fu's friend, Fang Guan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to use 2,000 ox carts to resist the Anshi rebels, but the bulls were shocked by the enemy's drum beats and bumped into each other on the spot, which disrupted the Tang army's array and naturally suffered a crushing defeat.

Ren Hong nodded: "How to make the fire bull rush forward, only hurting the enemy but not himself is indeed a difficult problem."

Fortunately, they have a geographical advantage.

The urn at Tiemenguan is a natural cow pen, sealed on all sides. The wild grass sent from Qulicheng was lit in bundles in the corner of the city wall. The fire and heat waves forced the cattle to squeeze into the outer door.

Soldiers kept throwing torches into the cattle, igniting the reed poles on their tails. The cattle were frightened and could only rush out the only door that opened its mouth.

All Ren Hong and Yaoguang needed to do was to watch the show happily on the city wall.

In the Yuli not far away, the Yanqi people were still stunned at first, and they hurriedly opened their bows and shot arrows until the bulls rushed over.

But the thick skin and strong body are not so easy to kill. It was thrust arrows on its head and body, and it was even more fierce. It shook its fiery tail and crashed into the crowd, which led several people to fly. It took a lot of effort to stab it to death with its spear.

It was a good idea to solve one head, but more than a hundred heads rushed over one after another. The galloping cattle were like a torrent, rushing the Yuli and Yanqi array in the front row into pieces, or lifting one corner off the cliff or trampling it under your feet to death.

The outside of the Tiemen Pass was narrow, and the lethality of the bulls was maximized. After a moment of chaos and almost killed the bulls, I found that the Han army inside the Tiemen Pass had taken this opportunity to come out one after another and set up the formation under the Tiemen Pass.

It was a square formation composed of three hundred people, twenty people in a row and fifteen people in a row.

In addition to the plain-colored curved hem clothes, the soldiers also wore short black iron armor, brown scarves wrapped around their foreheads, and numb shoes.

The troops were long soldiers, swords and shields, and crossbowmen. The people in front of them held the halberd of the word "Bu" and the spear of more than 100 feet, but Sun Shiwan was carrying the spear.

Behind it is a soldier holding a red lacquer dry shield in one hand and a ring-headed knife in the other, and Han Gandang is also among them.

The left and right gaps were filled with crossbow soldiers wearing light clothes, which made it easier for them to find a favorable position to launch crossbows.

Xi Chongguo, who was standing at the forefront of the team, was even more armed. He was wearing fish scale armor and an iron matte on his head, protecting most of his face, wearing a high-top leather matte on his feet, and holding a long sword for his hands.

As he shouted loudly, everyone began to move forward slowly.

The scattered cows between the two sides sometimes ran west, but were frightened by the flat spear and halberd, so they turned around and rushed towards the sparse Yanqi people - even the beast could tell which side was more threatening to them.

Ren Hong, who completely substituted for the character of "strategy", did not participate in the war, but was only responsible for drum beats and flags.

"The cattle are shocked and run forward, and the enemy will be in chaos, so you can take advantage of it."

He rolled up his sleeves and beat the drum and said, "The fire bull is actually just a spearhead that scares people. What can really break the enemy depends on the iron wall formation of our great man's armored soldiers!"

...

"Dongdongdongdongdong, dudongdongdongdong."

The Han soldiers followed the drum beats at the top of the city, walking slowly first, then walking quickly, and finally trotting!

Seeing the Han army's armored formation getting closer, not only the people of Yuli, but also the people of Yanqi, but even the Huns who were supervising the battle behind were frightened. Their already sparse array was washed away by the cows and had no intention of fighting. Except for a few Huns who subconsciously shot arrows into the distance, the rest began to slowly retreat.

In their eyes, the Han army is much more terrifying than the Fire Bull!

But the road is narrow, and you push me and you retreat very slowly, while the Han army is much simpler. They only need to stare at the enemies ahead, and even do not need to fight. They just need to step on the footprints of their robes and push straight forward.

When both sides contact, the situation is one-sided.

First, dozens of crossbow arrows flew out and shot towards the Hu soldiers dozens of steps away. They had almost no protection and immediately fell down like wheat chopped down by a sickle.

Following closely behind was the sharp iron spear halberd and pierced directly. With the help of the impulse, blood holes were poked on the Hu man's body, and then ruthlessly pulled back. The shiny spear tip was dyed red, and then stabbed forward again!

Sun Baiwan also kept pecking with his new long spear, one after another, as if digging the ground.

Han Gandang held up a shield, but the ring-headed knife in his hand was always out of reach, and he shouted that the robe in front of him would leave some for himself.

The Hu people became even more panicked. With this narrow terrain, there were too many people who could not take any advantage. No one could resist in vain and only knew how to turn around and flee.

They also became cows whose tails were lit, and their eyes were full of horror and defeated towards the camp several miles away.

The drum beats of the iron gate became rapid, as if shouting: "From forward!"

In a panic, people kept jumping off the cliff, some were pierced by spears, falling down in rows, and wailing. The Han soldiers in the front row stepped over them, and the sword and shield hands behind them took the time to make up for a knife, ending their pain.

From the perspective of Ren Hong and Liu Yaoguang, we can only see that the three hundred Han troops were driving cattle and sheep, driving two thousand enemy troops eastward, leaving countless corpses all the way to the front of their camp.

No one stopped in the Han army's array. From Xi Chong to ordinary soldiers, everyone firmly believed that more than 300 people could chase away more than 2,000 people, and even wipe out all 5,000 people!

Just move forward, and move forward again!

"Cunning Han people."

The camp was in a state of uneasiness, and Wang Xianxianshan was even more anxious and red in his eyes. This counterattack caught them off guard. The Han army was still advancing eastward firmly, and the fleeing friendly troops were the ones who were rushing, like terrified cattle.

The ancestor Shan knew very well that if the two thousand people were allowed to rush into the camp, the three thousand people here would be in chaos, which would lead to chain defeat.

Three hundred people defeated five thousand? This will shock the entire Western Regions. In the future, the king's ancestor Shan will become the invincible reputation of the Han army. The war will never be fought again.

"Don't think about it!"

So the sages shook the ruthlessness and asked someone to erect the antlers in front of the camp and close the gate of the village. A thousand Huns dismounted and stood in the wooden fence. The horn bow in their hands was erected, and they raised their heads high, without causing any attack!

They are waiting for the command of King Rizhao.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.

"put!"

With the command of King Rizhu, thousands of bowstrings trembled slightly, and the arrows on them were already whistling out.

They fell in a narrow valley in arcs, as if they were hailing.

The one who wailed repeatedly, but was nailed to the ground by arrows was not the Han soldiers, but the fleeing friendly forces!

Instead of receiving friendly responses, the Hu people in the Western Regions fell down by cold arrows. They were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. The west was an iron wall pressed by ruthlessly, and the east was an arrow rain that could not distinguish between us.

"King Rizhu... actually ordered his target to the friendly army!"

On the top of the Tiemen Pass, the sharp-eyed Liu Yaoguang saw this scene from afar.

Ren Hong stopped the drum beat and sighed with regret.

"The gecko broke its tail and abandoned the car to keep the handsome guy."

"The ancestor Shan is also a wolf-killing!"
