333: Burning Bull

After hearing Zhao Ben's military order, the thousand Soldiers pushed the wooden barrels forward with all their might, sending the slender barrels rolling ahead!

"Run!" a Soldier shouted, and then the thousand men turned and ran back as if their lives depended on it!

Because the roars of the wild oxen echoed in their ears, and at this moment, the wild oxen were less than four hundred paces away from them. This was a race against time; if they outran the wild oxen, it would be a great achievement, but if they failed, they would perish!

Zhao Ben watched the thousand Soldiers frantically running back, then took a flaming arrow handed to him by a nearby Soldier, nocked it onto his longbow, and aimed the arrowhead at the wooden barrels!

"Three hundred paces!"

"Two hundred and fifty paces!"

Just as the wild oxen were only fifty paces away from the slender wooden barrels, the flaming arrow shot from the string!

The flaming arrow arced gracefully through the air, finally piercing the wooden barrel steadily and embedding itself inside!

"Boom!"

Thunder on flat ground!

The slender wooden barrel exploded upwards with a brilliant flash of fire!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Like a splendid firework blooming!

Immediately, a large fire spread, and barrels exploded one after another all around, their lamp oil splattering, creating a feast of fire!

A wall of fire rose from the ground, separating the two Armies!

Tens of thousands of wild oxen stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of the wall of fire before them, but some of the wild oxen at the front of the herd were pushed by those behind them and charged directly into the sea of fire!

"Moo... Moo... Moo!" The scorching fire made the wild oxen roar as they charged out!

The wild oxen behind them reacted and gradually stopped their advance!

The two thousand Qin Soldiers who had thrown the oil barrels heard the huge sound but did not look back.

They unhesitatingly rushed to the front of the formation, returned to the main formation through the gaps in the shield wall, and once they entered the main formation, the shield wall closed again!

Seeing this, the Left Wise King forcefully waved his right arm downwards!

In an instant, the Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers unleashed a volley of arrows!

A rain of arrows, formed in a moment, struck the hesitant formation of wild oxen!

Tens of thousands of wild oxen felt a tightening in their rear, and the piercing pain made them forget their fear. With dense arrows stuck in their hindquarters, they limped forward!

"Moo... Moo... Moo!"

They overcame their natural fear of fire and charged directly into the wall of fire!

At this moment, on the battlefield, flames soared into the sky, and crossbow bolts blotted out the sun!

The wild oxen that had gone ahead had already passed through the wall of fire. Their massive and powerful bodies twisted continuously, charging towards the Qin Army, engulfed in flames!

It's hard to imagine what their fate would be if they were unlucky enough to be hit by them!

The Qin Soldiers all gripped their swords and spears, ready to meet this "great enemy"!

At this critical moment, General General Meng Tian leaped up, like a black-armored divine General descending from the heavens, looking down at everyone from mid-air, and finally striking forward with his sword!

"Break!"

In an instant, wind rose from the ground, and the howling gale swept through the Qin Army's formation, finally reaching its peak speed at the front of the Qin Army's lines!

"The wind has risen!" She Jian said in a deep voice, his face filled with longing.

Lin Yue looked over and saw a sudden wind rise at the front of the Qin Army's lines, causing the grass to instantly flatten and cling to the ground!

But the strong wind did not linger at the front of the formation for long; it grew larger and larger, sweeping up the grass, and eventually forming a tornado!

The tornado suddenly rushed towards the wall of fire, instantly transforming into a fire tornado, sweeping tens of thousands of wild oxen into the sky, spinning rapidly!

It roared towards the Xiongnu Army's formation!

"What kind of divine power is this?" Lin Yue was dumbfounded, this scene challenged his worldview!

Even the 5D special effects of later generations were not as shocking as the sight before him!

"Invincible." Wang Da Tou said in a deep voice!

"General, as Great Qin's foremost warrior, is blessed with Great Qin's destiny. Although this act is shocking, it is also within expectations!" She Jian exclaimed.

The Left Wise King also frowned at this scene, looking back, he saw Touman in the Xiongnu Army's formation also rising from the ground!

Touman in mid-air held a golden scimitar and forcefully struck at the void!

There was no scene of surging waves, but just as everyone was wondering, the Left Wise King suddenly felt a chilling coldness sweep past him!

Then the fire tornado, wildly dancing in front, suddenly split in two!

The fire tornado instantly vanished into nothingness.

Immediately after, tens of thousands of wild oxen, no longer buffeted by the strong wind, slammed to the ground, creating tens of thousands of depressions of varying depths in the grassland, and both Armies returned to silence!

"This is the power of a god!" Countless Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers looked up at their Chanyu as if gazing at a deity!

At this moment, Chanyu Touman was their god!

However, Zhao Ben, who was intently staring ahead, suddenly heard a "gurgle."

He thought it was his imagination, but the continuous "gurgle" sounds from behind him completely caught his attention. He looked in the direction of the sound with confusion, only to see a Qin Soldier behind him swallowing his saliva.

The Soldier was a bit flustered by Zhao Ben's gaze, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "General, the smell of this roasted beef is simply too fragrant..."

Zhao Ben turned his head, a bit speechless, but a gentle breeze blew, carrying a hint of deliciousness. He looked at the wild oxen, roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Even as a Titled General, he had never eaten beef roasted like this!

"Gurgle... Gurgle..."

The breeze made the stomachs of countless Soldiers behind Zhao Ben rumble. Zhao Ben looked back, and the scene became a bit awkward for a moment.

"General, they're coming!" At this moment, a Qin Soldier shouted, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere!

Zhao Ben looked back and saw that the Left Wise King's Army had poured out, heading straight for their center!

Zhao Ben's blood was pumping; he had finally waited for them!

"Charge!" Zhao Ben shouted!

Then he stared intently at the Army, and finally, when the Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers were only three hundred paces away from them, he shouted: "Archers, shoot!"

Immediately, countless dense crossbow bolts surged from behind the shield wall, shooting into the air, and then rushing towards them!

For a time, men and horses tumbled, but soon the cavalry behind them filled in, still launching their charge!

A brief shower of arrows could not stop the advance of the Left Wise King's Army!

Zhao Ben sneered, finally getting the opportunity he had waited for, and immediately shouted: "Shield formation, disperse left and right!"

Then the shield wall parted, revealing teams of Qin Army crossbowmen and dense crossbow carts before everyone!

Two hundred paces!

The Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army unleashed a volley of arrows and crossbow bolts!
