"Form up a formation! Meet the enemy!"

The scouts rushed back and forth, passing Yuan Fang's orders from the head of the team to the back of the team.

The four thousand infantrymen quickly moved closer and formed a large formation across the direction from which the enemy cavalry was galloping, protecting more than a thousand grain carts behind them. Two thousand light cavalry were deployed on the left and right to protect the two wings.

The more than a thousand men, driving bullock carts, hid behind the military formation.

Yuan Fang stood on horseback with a horizontal halberd and stood in front of the military formation. His eyes were calm and he watched the approaching enemy troops with a contemptuous look.

From the northwest, enemy cavalry has arrived like the wind.

The thick and long black line slowly wriggled up from the junction of heaven and earth. What shrouded the thick line was a long and wild dust, like a sandstorm.

The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and a thunderous sound came from the sky. The terrifying sound made the world change color.

Finally, countless cavalry, countless swords and guns, and countless figures suddenly ran into the eyes of the Confederate soldiers.

Amidst the fierce sound of horns, more than 10,000 cavalrymen, with the force of the earth collapsing and the earth shattering, shot toward them like a giant spear across the sky and the earth.

The ones rushing at the front were three thousand heavily armored cavalry. The men and horses were all wearing thick armor, which was enough to withstand the salvos of four stone bows.

This heavy cavalry was already Yuan Shao's most expensive army. Yuan Shao did not hesitate to send it out, obviously to guard against Yuan Fang's crossbowmen who would ascend first.

Behind the heavy cavalry, a black horse sits on its crotch with its jaws open, galloping like the wind, with perseverance and determination in its brows.

Further back, Feng Ji, who was wearing armor, was at the back of the team, looking eagerly at the Confederate army's formation.

Looking at the large infantry and cavalry formation composed of 6,000 people, a ferocious sneer appeared on Feng Ji's lips.

"Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang. You never imagined that we would come with so many cavalry to rob your food team. You only have a few thousand cavalry, even if you have the dead soldiers and the trapped camp, you can't even think about it.

To withstand our attack, this great achievement is determined by me at the right time!"

Confident Fengji, urging his cavalry, couldn't wait to complete this devastating blow.

Facing him, Yuan Fang stood tall.

Facing the fiercely approaching enemy cavalry, Yuan Fang let out a breath, drew his halberd horizontally, and shouted: "Split the formation for me!"

At the command, the flag waved rapidly.

The Confederate army's originally tightly closed infantry and cavalry formation suddenly opened wide, and the soldiers retreated to the two wings one after another.

Where the formation broke apart, more than a thousand oxcarts were driven up and arrived in front of the formation.

The horns of those oxen were now equipped with sharp knives, their tails were also coated with grease, and the eyes of each ox were covered with black cloth.

This is Yuan Fang's strategy. He wants to imitate the ancients and use the formation of fire oxen to destroy Yuan Shao's cavalry.

Although Guo Jia's strategy was able to lure Yuan Shao's cavalry into the net, there was no sure-fire way to defeat the enemy with heavy cavalry in this wilderness.

Yuan Fang had an idea and thought of using the fire ox to attack Yuan Shao's heavy cavalry.

Historically, during the Warring States Period, during the dispute between the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, General Le Yi of Yan attacked Qi and captured more than 70 cities of Qi State, almost destroying Qi State.

It was at this desperate moment that General Liu Tian Dan used the Fire Ox Formation to defeat the powerful Yan army and regain his lost territory.

This time, Yuan Fang will also use the Fire Ox Formation to imitate Tian Dan and defeat the strong with the weak!

Facing them, 10,000 Northern Army cavalry had already rushed within 200 steps.

This group of fierce warriors originally expected to run into the oncoming arrow rain from the Confederate army, but they did not expect that the Confederate army not only did not fire arrows, but suddenly changed their formation.

Against cavalry, changing formations before battle is a taboo for military strategists!

But what surprised both Zhang Ya and Feng Ji was that after the change of formation, the Southern Army actually pushed the more than a thousand grain carts in front of the formation.

"Yuan Fang, what tricks is he playing?"

From top to bottom, the Northern Army was bewildered by this bizarre move of the Southern Army. For a moment, they didn't even react and were still galloping forward.

The enemy cavalry has reached within a hundred steps, its momentum has reached its maximum, and it is impossible to reverse and stop.

The time has come!

Yuan Fang took a deep breath, pointed his halberd at him, and shouted: "Light a fire for me to herd the cattle!"

The bell-like order was passed down, and the men, who had already held up torches, quickly lit all the grain bags on the oxcart.

It turned out that what was loaded in the oxcart was not grain and grass at all, but bags of hay. In this dry period of winter, it would burn when exposed to fire.

In an instant, a thousand cattle cars were burned into a thousand "trains".

Immediately afterwards, the butlers used torches to light all the fat on the ox tail.

"Moo moo——"

The ox's tail was set on fire, causing the ox to scream miserably and kick its hooves forward frantically.

The men did not dare to delay, and let go of the reins one after another, allowing the mad bull to charge forward.

More than a thousand fire oxen, pulling the blazing train, roaring and hissing, rushed towards the oncoming enemy cavalry like crazy.

The enemy cavalry that rushed towards them were all shocked and stunned when they saw the raging "train" rushing towards them.

"Fire Ox Formation! Yuan Fang can actually use the Fire Ox Formation. Oops, he fell into a trap!"

In the iron cavalry, the man opened his jaw and turned pale with shock. The determination on his face was completely gone and was instantly replaced by horror.

When Zhang Jaw saw the Confederate Army changing its formation before the battle, he had a hunch that the situation would change unfavorably for him.

And when he saw the countless fire oxen, pulling the blazing trains, rushing towards them, he suddenly realized.

"Retreat, retreat quickly~~" He opened his jaws and reined in his horse, shouting at the top of his lungs.

It's too late.

The charge of more than 10,000 cavalry has reached its peak. How can it be stopped at a distance of only a hundred or so?

After a few breaths, the Confederate Army's Fire Bull Formation was roaring like rolling lava, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

The rushing red tide instantly collided with the oncoming heavy armored cavalry.

The loud sound of the heaven and earth collapsing shook the sky in an instant.

The roaring of cattle, the shouting of men, and the neighing of horses resounded throughout the fields in an instant, and the mixed screams even overshadowed the stampeding of the cavalry.

The thousand fire bulls, blindfolded and howling in severe pain, just kept their heads down and ran wildly forward. The sharp blades tied to the horns of the bulls would pierce through everything in their way.

Even a heavily armored cavalryman wearing iron armor could not withstand this attack.

The Northern Army cavalry, which was approaching fiercely and determined to win, never imagined that they would encounter such an incredible and nightmare-like attack method.

The Hebei army was extremely frightened. Hundreds of them were knocked to the ground by the fire oxen, including men and horses. Even if they were not stabbed to death on the spot, they would be trampled to pulp by the hooves of the oxen that followed, or they would be killed by all the others.

The towed train was burned to coke.

The fire surged wildly, blood splashed, and the heaven and earth collapsed.

Three thousand heavy armored cavalry were destroyed in a blink of an eye. After that, more than 10,000 light cavalry were unable to stop their pace and were attacked by flaming bulls in a blink of an eye, killing most of them.

In the chaos of the army, Zhang Jiao reacted very smartly, turning his horse and running away just before the flaming bull hit him.

All his self-confidence was destroyed by this irresistible attack. In panic, the Hebei general was deeply afraid of Yuan Fang and had no intention of resisting.

Opening its jaws, it was like a frightened bird, running wildly northwest against the direction of the rebel army.

The remaining Hebei cavalry disintegrated in an instant, scattering like frightened birds and beasts, abandoning their helmets and armor, and running around in panic.

However, the momentum of these more than 10,000 cavalrymen has already begun, so how can they turn around in a hurry?

The frightened enemy troops not only failed to retreat in time, but on the contrary, they also suppressed each other, causing greater casualties and chaos.

The galloping fire bull ignored the line and still roared and ran forward.

In less than a moment, from the bank of Pu River to the north, in the wilderness, a road stained with blood and fire was carved out by flaming cattle.

Feng Ji, who was in the rear group, witnessed this astonishing scene with his mouth open.

Seeing that his more than 10,000 cavalrymen were trampled into such a tragic state by the Confederate army in an instant, Feng Ji was so shocked that his eyes almost burst out.

"Fire...Fire Bull Formation? I fell into a trap. It turns out that I fell into the traitor's trick to lure the enemy. He deliberately designed it to annihilate our cavalry? I am unparalleled in my resourcefulness. I am just like Jushou.

I was teased by him..."

Every time I meet, I am surprised, angry, and stunned.

When Fang Zi was frightened, he saw his defeated army and the torrent of fire rushing towards him.

Feng Ji suddenly woke up from the shock. Seeing this situation, he knew that if he didn't leave, he would be destroyed by Yuan Fang's Fire Bull Formation like the more than 10,000 cavalrymen.

Feng Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to do anything about it, he could only swallow the bitterness of being teased, turned his horse and left.

On the north bank of Pu River, six thousand Confederate infantry and cavalry soldiers witnessed this miraculous battle of destruction with the same incredible expression.

Their lord, with just over a thousand oxen and no soldiers, easily destroyed the invincible Hebei cavalry.

The battle situation changed so quickly that the enemy army collapsed and the soldiers only came back to their senses when the fire wave went away.

Everyone looked towards the Chinese army banner. Everyone's face was filled with excitement, and their eyes were burning with incomparable admiration.

Yuan Fang's incredible plan completely ignited the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the cheers and shouts reached the sky.

Yuan Fang laughed wildly, Fang Tian raised his halberd and shouted: "The whole army attacks, sweep away the enemy cavalry for me, leaving no one behind -"
