Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 73: Fire Bull Formation (Third update, please read, monthly vote)
"Okay, I will send out scouts now and ask them to explore the target. After you find a large number of their troops, you can release your flying artifact. By then, we will know every move they make." Wogotai ordered. He nodded and spoke.

"Father-in-law, you will assemble the entire army next and say some words of encouragement to them. You will take 15000 people, and then give me the remaining soldiers and the slave army. I will take them to the camp. According to the arrangement, you just lead the troops out, and after bringing the enemy in, we will encircle the gap and trap them inside." Zhang Yong said.

"Well! You go and prepare. First, let the quartermaster prepare the buffalo, cattle, gasoline, and hay you need." Wo Kuotai said.

Various orders were conveyed quickly, and soon the military officer began the inventory task. Half an hour later, the quartermaster came to Zhang Yong's room.

"Master Military Advisor, the number of buffaloes and oxen has been clearly counted. There are 923 in total." The Mongolian military officer knelt in front of Zhang Yong and said.

"Very good! How many troops can I call upon now? Tell me clearly including the slaves." Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, you have a total of 4000 troops. You can mobilize four thousand-man commanders. They will all obey your orders. As for the slaves, there are only more than 2000 people." The Quartermaster said.

Wokuotai has gathered 15000 troops from his headquarters, plus the 500 troops brought by his nephew Batu, for a total of 15500 troops. The remaining troops have all been left to Zhang Yong to call upon.

"How many cans of gasoline are there in total now?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Military Advisor, there are more than 2300 cans of gasoline in total."

"Well! You ask the slaves to prepare 923 bales of dry straw, and then tie them all to the oxtails. Then get 500 cans of gasoline. Pour half a can of gasoline on each bale of hay, and fill up all the oxtails.

After that, I asked the sergeants to prepare a large amount of dry firewood, forage, and anything flammable, and pile them all for me in the military camp.

The remaining 1500 cans of gasoline were all gathered together. When we left, we smashed all the clay pots of gasoline and poured all the gasoline into the military camp, whether it was tents or firewood.

Let's take away the remaining 300 cans and prepare the trebuchets. When the war starts, I will make my own arrangements. Let all the slaves and soldiers be dispatched immediately. All the things I have told me must be done before dark. "Zhang Yong said.

"Yes! Military advisor."

After the quartermaster left, Zhang Yong also found his four commanders and gave them some combat arrangements.

After doing all this, Wo Kuotai walked in.

"Zhang Yong, my scouts have discovered it. They are still about 40 miles away from us. If I set out to lure them now, they should be able to reach us tonight. Are you ready for a night battle?" Wo Kuotai asked road.

"Father-in-law, is it okay for you Mongolian soldiers to fight at night?"

"Haha, of course it's no problem. We Mongolians have lived on the grasslands since we were young. We naturally have to be on guard against wild wolves and the like at night. It's no problem to start a war at night." Wo Kuotai said.

"That's good, father-in-law, I have given all my instructions. At night, I will have people light torches in the camp, and then let the cattle disperse.

After you bring the enemy in, I will order the archers to aim at the hay on the ox's tail to ignite it. Tonight, you are ready to see my fire ox formation, the great army of elephant soldiers! "Zhang Yong said.

"it is good!"

When night was about to fall that day, Zhang Yong raised his drone, climbed to the highest flying altitude, and then followed the direction instructed by Scout Ogedai and arrived above the Delhi Sultanate's army.

At this time, more than 100 elephants were at the forefront of the Delhi Sultanate's team. These elephants were covered in golden heavy armor and had blades hanging on their tusks.On the back of the war elephant sat four archers and an operator.

In addition to the elephant troops, there is also a cavalry unit of about [-] people on the right. These cavalry are all wearing armor, holding spears, and are dressed somewhat similar to the Gular cavalry of Khwarezm.

There are five infantry phalanxes in the rear. Each infantry phalanx has about 1 soldiers, including about 1 spearmen and about 5000 archers, marching in the middle of the team.

"There are 5 infantry, 1 cavalry, plus the elephant troops, there are more than 5000 people in total, more than three times our number." Zhang Yong quickly saw the clear picture in the drone Count the number of enemies.

"Well! Those 5 infantrymen are nothing to be afraid of. The only thing we have to guard against is the cavalry unit. If they charge hard from the main entrance when we launch a fire attack, they might rush out." Wo Kuotai said.

To be honest, for the Mongolian cavalry, it is quite safe to lure out these 1 cavalry and then annihilate them all.

After all, when the cavalry is dueling, the infantry can't intervene at all. By the time the infantry arrives, the battle will be over long ago.

But the problem is that if they are completely wiped out, then the Delhi Sultan's follow-up troops will definitely not step into the ambush circle. Even if they fake defeat, the enemy will not believe it.

So we can only put the enemies in and then block them forcefully.

"I will have 4000 cavalry to block the road behind the military camp. At the critical moment, I will use trebuchets to launch gasoline pots and create a sea of ​​​​fire to prevent their escape.

Then, father-in-law, you lead [-] cavalry to block the front of the camp. If the enemy cavalry escapes, you will shoot them all. "Zhang Yong said.

The remaining 300 cans of gasoline could form a sea of ​​​​fire. They rushed through the sea of ​​​​fire, and there were 4000 cavalry waiting for them.

The remaining slaves of more than 2000 people can also be asked to stand around to increase the number of people.

As for the Ogedai cavalry with more than 15000 people at the main gate, they simply couldn't rush through.

"Okay! I understand. After I introduce the enemy into the camp, I will go out through the side door, then block the side door, and then return to the front of the camp to intercept them. As for their escape, I will leave it to you. They must be trapped inside." Wo Kuotai said.

The camp they chose had only two roads in and out. As long as these two roads were guarded, if a fire broke out inside, the Delhi Sultanate's troops would have nowhere to escape.

"Ok!"

After discussing some details again.

Wokuotai led Batu and a cavalry team of more than 5000 people in a mighty attack on the army of the Delhi Sultanate, while Zhang Yong began to arrange his camp into a dragnet.

Then he asked the slave army of 2000 people to withdraw to the road behind the camp, and now they are just waiting for the enemy to get in.

"Report to General Chatu that we encountered a Mongolian cavalry force in the front, with more than 15000 cavalrymen."

"Order the war elephant troops to prepare for battle." The general of the Delhi Sultanate said.
