After dinner, Zhu Zhanji asked everyone,""Is everyone tired?"
"I'm not tired!"
"I'm not tired, Your Highness. This subordinate feels that we can still fight for three days and three nights!”
"I'm not tired. I'm still waiting to follow Your Highness and bring glory to our ancestors!”
……
Zhu Zhanji nodded in relief and shouted,""Yu Chengtai, Qi Wei, Tie Ping, Lan Bin, listen up!”
"I will listen to your orders!" The four of them accepted the order in unison.
" I order the four of you to lead a hundred men each and divide these injured horses equally. Tie something to ignite the fire behind the horses and use ropes to connect the reins of the horses to prevent the horses from running away. Then, tie the scimitars of the Tartars to both sides of the wooden poles and secure them on the horses 'backs…
Listen to my signal and attack the Tartar camp from all four directions. When the fire horses enter the camp, everyone will move to the north of the Tartar camp to prevent the Tartars from retreating north…"
"I accept your orders!" The four of them stood up after receiving the order.
"Your Highness, you really are a god!”
"Why didn't I think of using these injured horses…"
"Your Highness is truly unpredictable when it comes to using troops. You can even use the Fire Horse Formation with ease!”
Zhu Zhanji's face turned red. He had copied the Fire Bull Array of Tian Dan, a famous general of the Qi State during the Warring States Period. At most, he had replaced the ox with a horse, and there was an additional step to connect the horses together.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
The night gradually receded, and the blue color in the sky became clearer.
In the Tartar camp.
"Great Khan, you haven't slept for the entire night.”the attendant advised.
Ben Yashili's eyes were bloodshot, his face was sallow, and his lips were white." I don't dare to sleep. The Ming army that ambushed us is just bait. There's a strong Ming army lying in ambush outside…"
"After Hulugutai was fished out, they stopped for a while…"
" The sky is about to brighten. Without the cover of the night, if the Ming army doesn't make a move soon, they won't have a chance…"
"Now is the most dangerous moment. Are my personal cavalry ready?”
"Great Khan, your 5000 personal cavalry have already eaten meat soup and are ready to mount their horses and fight at any time…However, the generals have yet to recover…Who will lead them?”
Ben Yashili forced a smile and said,"There isn't even a healthy centurion in the camp now."
"Of course I will personally lead them to prepare for battle!”
"Khagan, your body…"
"It's fine, quickly help me put on my armor…I, Benyashili, will defend the glory of the Borzichin Clan!”
"Sound the horn and call our clansmen. We should prepare to hurry!”
"Yes, Great Khan!"
……
Hearing the bugle call from the Tartar camp, Zhu Zhanji finally confirmed that Benyashili had made up his mind to hurry on, even if he was dragging his weak body.
"Release the whistling arrows, three in a row!"
"Yes, sir!"
……
"Squeak ~ Chirp ~"
"Squeak ~ Chirp ~"
"Squeak ~ Chirp ~"
Three sharp arrows pierced through the sky and finally fell into the Tartar camp.
……
Ben Yashili heard the sound of arrows and stood up."It's the Ming army's signal. They're going to attack!”
"Pass down the order. Prepare for battle immediately. Gather all the warriors and get into formation. The personal cavalry will be in the middle…"
"Yes, Great Khan!" The messenger turned around and left.
"Let me see who forced me to this point!”Ben Yashili muttered to himself as he walked out of the tent…
The sound of horses galloping could be heard from the north, south, east, and west of the Tartar camp. The shrill neighs of the horses were getting louder and louder, and the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer.
"Fire, the horse is on fire…"
"There are fire horses attacking the camp…"
The Tartar sentries saw a group of warhorses with scimitars tied to them and flames burning behind them charging into the camp. They shouted in panic.
"What happened? Did the Ming army attack?" Benyashri asked as he held onto the horse.
"Great Khan, the Ming army used fire horses to attack the camp. Fire horses are everywhere…"
Ben Ya was shocked and hurriedly ordered,""Quickly set up more trip ropes, use them all…"
"Great Khan, it's too late. The fire horse is already in front of the camp…"
……
1,500 fire horses neighed hysterically as they charged into the Tartar camp from all directions.
The fiery horses that had gone mad knocked over the barricade horses and rushed into the camp. The Tatars began to shoot arrows at the fiery horses, but it was useless. They could only frantically dodge. The Tatars who couldn't dodge in time were either trampled to death by the horses or cut in half by the scimitars tied to the horses.
The Tartars who were holding horse poles were also dragged to the ground by the mad warhorses.
"Help!"
"Longevity Heaven, save us!"
"Put out the fire, the tent is on fire…"
……
The flames of the Tartar camp lit up the sky!
Zhu Zhanji stood on a hill in the far north and observed the situation of the Tartar camp.
The Tatars had just formed a battle formation, but they were thrown into disarray by the fire horses. There were heavy casualties. The fire horses set fire to the tents along the way, and even the carriages that the Tatars had worked overnight to make were set on fire.
Listening to the screams that came from time to time, Zhu Zhanji could not bear it, but when he thought of the blood feud of the Ming army, he could only let it go!
