Chapter 338 Borrowing soldiers in the name, fire bull formation

Songtsen Gampo casually found an excuse to Dayan Mangbojie and told him that he also needed to discuss the matter with other ministers, and first ordered people to take Dayan Mangbojie to rest, and to entertain them with good wine and food.

Dayan Mangbojie was already tired and hungry, so he couldn't care about too much, so he would eat enough first.

He also understood that Songtsen Gampo could not decide on such major issues of sending troops to help foreign countries at will.

After Dayan Mangbojie left Songtsen Gampo's palace, Songtsen Gampo immediately discussed with other ministers whether to send troops to help Tuyuhun.

"I am going to report to Zanpu, and I am opposing lending troops to Tuyuhun!" An old minister spoke out first.

"I also oppose lending troops to Tuyuhun!" Many ministers followed suit.

Songtsen Gampo nodded slightly and asked the minister why he objected.

"I believe that if Li Tang sent heavy troops to attack Murong Fuyun, Tuyuhun would undoubtedly be defeated. If we lend troops to Tuyuhun, it would be like to make enemies with Li Tang." The old minister said.

"That's right! In the past, Zanpu sent an envoy to marry Li Tang, but Tuyuhun interfered, which led to Li Tang refusing to marry Zanpu. It was Tuyuhun who first let me down. Now Tuyuhun is in trouble, and Murong Fuyun thought of asking Zanpu for help. Such villains are not worth helping." A middle-aged minister said.

"What you said is reasonable!" Songtsen Gampo said thoughtfully, "Now Tuyuhun is defeated again and again, and his strength is greatly damaged. I guess there is no need to be defeated. Not only will we not borrow troops, but we will also take this opportunity to insert Tuyuhun's sword."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Songtsen Gampo, with questions and some expectations in their eyes.

"We will take this opportunity to nominally lend troops to Tuyuhun, thus entering Tuyuhun and capturing the southwest of Tuyuhun." Songtsen Gampo continued.

Everyone nodded in favor.

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

Just when Murong Xiaojun couldn't think of a solution, a suggestion was made by a counselor next to him: "I think there is no natural barrier suitable for resisting the enemy, there is no valley suitable for ambushing, and there is no strong and tall city wall. If I want to resist the enemy, I have a strategy that may be used to resist the enemy!"

This strategist has an ordinary appearance, small eyes, and looks cunning.

"What's the plan? Tell me quickly!" Murong Xiaojun said hurriedly.

"This strategy is the Fire Bull Formation!" The tiny-eyed strategist said slowly.

"Fire Cow Formation?" Murong Xiaojun's eyes shrank slightly.

Many people present showed doubtful eyes and stared at the goatee-bearded strategist.

"There are many yaks here. We can catch hundreds of yaks, drive the yaks in front of the army, and then light a fire on the ox tail. Once the yak tail is burned, the yak's ox's spirit will become angry and will rush towards the enemy. Our army takes this opportunity to follow the yaks and rush up!" said the strategist with small eyes deliberately and deeply.

After hearing this, Murong Xiaojun's eyes turned, and then she showed a happy look: "Okay, very good! This plan is very wonderful!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" a general said disapprovingly, "The enemy is approaching, how can we catch hundreds of yaks in a short period of time?"

"I just thought of this method." The tiny-eyed strategist glanced at the man and said a little disdainfully, "As far as I know, hundreds of yaks are surrounded not far from the military camp to feed the soldiers."

"Do you want to use the yaks that the soldiers eat as a fire cattle formation?" the general frowned and said.

"That's true!" the strategist with small eyes nodded.

"But if the edible yaks are used as the fire cattle formation, the soldiers will have no food in the future." The general said again.

"We should first consider the current situation. If we lose this battle, the soldiers may not even have their lives. What's the use of keeping yaks? Then it will only become the food in the mouth of the Tang army." The adviser with small eyes said lightly.

"Sir, what he said is reasonable!" Murong Xiaojun interrupted.

After a slight pause, he said majesticly with a stern face: "All the generals obey the orders, immediately gather all the yaks as the teacher said, and come here quickly!"

"As for your order!" everyone responded.

...

Li Zaigu was less than three miles away from the base camp where Murong Fuyun was located.

"All the soldiers, speed up their pace and capture Murong Fuyun alive!" Li Zaigu ordered.

"Capture Murong Fuyun alive!" the soldiers shouted.

Li Zaigu led the way, whipped the horse and led the vanguard army toward the enemy's base camp.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a spy who was inquiring about military information in front ran towards Li Zaigu.

"The enemy troops were found ahead!"

"How many people are there?" Li Zaigu asked immediately.

"There are thousands of people." The spy replied.

"Okay, lead the way!" Li Zaigu said loudly.

"As for your order!" the spy bowed.

Everyone accelerated, and not long after, they saw an enemy army from afar, as if waiting for their arrival.

Seeing this, Li Zaigu immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for combat.

When he was about three hundred meters away from the enemy, Li Zaigu and others stopped immediately.

The two armies stand against each other.

When Li Zaiguwang saw the enemy soldiers without fear and looked calm, he not only muttered in his heart.

It was strange, why did the Tuyuhun soldiers in front of them feel no fear when they saw their army coming? Logically speaking, the Tuyuhun soldiers have been beaten to a low morale and are worried about seeing the Tang army.

Does the other party have a solution?

Li Zaigu has fought so many battles and went to so many battlefields, and has experienced many battles of all sizes and has long developed an instinctive sensitivity to the battlefield.

He noticed something was wrong with the enemy in front of him and immediately became vigilant.

He whispered the order to make all soldiers more alert to prevent the enemy from cheating.

Li Zaiguce took a few steps forward and prepared to call.

Suddenly, he saw the enemy army moving.

Move away from the middle to both sides.

Li Zaigu suddenly realized something was wrong, and grabbed the reins with one hand and the Overlord Gun with the other, staring at the enemy tightly.

"Dadada..."

Suddenly!

Li Zaigu heard the sound of horse hooves.

No, it's not the sound of horse hooves.

Li Zaigu quickly distinguished it.

This is heavier than the sound of a horse's hooves.

The chaotic sound of stepping on the ground was so shocked that the ground seemed to be about to move.

"Retreat! Hurry up, retreat!" Li Zaigu hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him.

He had already seen the smoke and dust rolling in the position where the enemy soldiers were standing just now, and black objects were rushing towards him.

Although he had not seen clearly what livestock it was, he realized that it was definitely a danger.

As soon as Li Zaigu finished speaking, the soldiers behind him were stunned for a moment before reacting.

At this time, Li Zaigu had already seen clearly what the black one was.

That's right, it's the yak.

The tails of hundreds of yaks were lit by fire and were running towards Li Zaigu frantically.

Li Zaigu didn't expect that the other party would know how to use the Fire Bull Formation to deal with him, and was quite surprised.

These yaks were burned crazy by the fire and rushed forward desperately.

The soldiers behind Li Zaigu began to retreat, but this place was a plain and there was no place to hide.
