Ji Tang

Chapter 1171 The first battle with the elephant soldiers!
"I have appointed myself as the Marching Sima of Magadha Road. I am responsible for formulating marching plans and making suggestions. Does this make any sense to you?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had any objection to this arrangement.It was originally arranged according to one's own abilities.Shen Zhen was in charge of fighting, Ji Xiancheng was in charge of grain and grass logistics, and Wang Xuance himself was positioned as a counselor.

In this way, a grass-roots team has been set up.
Just a hundred miles away from the army in Rajgir City, a huge army was slowly advancing.

The dust is flying, the flags are flying, and there are an extremely large number of elephants in the huge army.These elephants were wearing iron armor, with a guardrail on top, and three people were riding on them to drive the war elephants away.

One of the largest and most impressive war elephants was wearing a battle armor and a crown, and was accompanied by two beautiful and enchanting women.

Such a scene is out of place in the army, but neither the generals nor the important ministers dare to speak, and they show fear on their faces, fearing that this person will notice him.

This person was none other than Aranashun, who had usurped the throne and proclaimed himself King Harsha.When King Harsha died suddenly and suddenly, because he had no heirs, people in the country were panicked at that time. As a minister and general of the Harsha dynasty at that time, he had heavy troops and a fearsome army of war elephants.

Therefore, Alonashun saw an opportunity to go further. He first took control of the palace, and then sent people to take over the defense of Qunu City. After stabilizing the capital, he took the initiative to attack all directions, until he captured most of the former kingdom's territory.

But for some reason, he did not take advantage of the victory, but began to enjoy himself, established Brahman as the state religion, and promoted the caste system, resulting in a strict class system in the country and riots everywhere.

So the good dynasty fell apart in an instant, and he returned to Qunu City and became his king, and even proclaimed himself King Harsha, which was so shameless!
While he was enjoying himself in the palace, he unexpectedly heard that someone had rebelled in the old capital under the banner of King Harsha and had established his own prestige. This king turned out to be Amelia, who was disliked by King Harsha at the beginning.

This made him extremely angry. Although other forces were not very convinced by him, in the face of absolute strength, weren't they still respectful to him and paid tribute every year?

But who is Amelia?He was just an abandoned son of the royal family, but he became the queen with the support of Buddhism?This simply ignored him.

If we don't use the power of thunder to destroy them, will those forces waiting and watching surrender to themselves?

Therefore, no matter what, you must destroy the opponent.

Looking at the endless huge army and the imposing army of war elephants, he was confident that any enemy would be trampled to dust in front of his army of war elephants, and no one could stop him.

"report"

"King of Cavalry, we have spotted enemy troops not far ahead. Please give me a warning!"

Just when he was dreaming about capturing Amelia alive, letting her become his flap and playing with her as he pleased, he was disturbed by sudden news.

"How many people are there? Who leads the troops?"

Aronashun was stunned and said curiously.

It's not that he's worried, because with his army, no one can defeat him.

"Reporting to the king, there are only more than a thousand cavalry!"

Aluona was suddenly stunned, and then burst into laughter, even crying with laughter.

He stood above the war elephant, looked forward, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Queen Amelia has no troops to send? Only more than 1000 people are dispatched? What are you doing? Tickling my war elephant ?"

"Go and send a hundred war elephants to capture the leader of the army. I want to see who is so bold as to lead a thousand cavalry to intercept my army."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
-
On a hilltop, Yuchi Baolin looked solemnly at the slowly approaching army of war elephants. The power of that behemoth made him suffocate for a short time.

"Colonel Lieutenant Gudong!"

The deputy general next to him swallowed, stared at the army in front of him with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure we want to fight this thing?"

"Instead of dying?"

They were soldiers of the Marine Corps Battalion. This time, just to be sure, they took out 4000 people and left only 1000 people on the ship.I thought it was a normal battle, but is this a normal fucking army?

Whose army goes out with thousands of war elephants?Can such a battle be fought?
"Look at how promising you are? Why can't you fight? Back then, Duke Geng also fought against Zhenla's war elephant army. Didn't you defeat them in one battle? What are you worried about?"

Then he said disdainfully: "Beasts are just beasts. We can't control their nature. As long as we find their weaknesses, we can make them collapse without a fight!"

woohoo~
Suddenly, the attack horn sounded, and Yuchi Baolin suddenly picked up the telescope and looked forward.I saw the army slowly stopping, and a group of hundreds of war elephants slowly moving forward under the protection of thousands of soldiers.

"Ready to fight!"

There was a flash of excitement in Yuchi Baolin's eyes. Over the years, he had followed his family's wishes and abandoned martial arts and embraced literature. Although he was dissatisfied, as the eldest son of the family, he knew that he had no choice.

But few people know how unwilling they are every time they hear that the brothers they used to play with kill enemies and become famous on the battlefield.

After being a civil servant for many years, I almost forgot that I was still a martial artist.

Now that the opportunity has come, it is the highest honor for a man of the Tang Dynasty to raise his sword and mount his horse.

"Remember, elephants move slowly, so don't attack them."

Then he pointed at the thousands of soldiers interspersed among the elephants and said with a smile: "As long as we attack intermittently, these scattered soldiers will be the targets of our attack. After clearing them, we will then attack the elephants and use repeating crossbows to attack their Eyes, ears and underbelly. Even if the most well-trained animals lose their minds, they are just a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered. As long as the people protecting the war elephants are removed, the war elephants will be allowed to be attacked by us."

Click!

Putting down his visor, with his whole body protected by the armor, he drew out his sword, raised it high and said loudly: "Soldiers, let these people realize the majesty of our Tang Dynasty."

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"attack!"

Yuchi Baolin didn't talk nonsense. Before the other party could react, he had already used the impact of the high slope to lead the fifteen hundred Tang Dynasty cavalry to rush downwards.

The momentum is like a rainbow, the momentum that ignores the enemy is frightening!
Even the general of Aronashun, who was ordered to crush the enemy, saw something incredible!

Is the enemy crazy?This was an army of war elephants, and they actually dared to lead the charge. In his opinion, the opponent was either crazy or stupid.After regaining consciousness, he sneered and said: "The king has an order to capture the enemy leader alive, and kill the others without mercy!"

"Hmph, you want to capture grandpa alive? Then be prepared to have your teeth broken!"

During this period of time, I have been training the poisonous soldiers, but I can understand them a little. I heard that the other party wanted to capture me alive?
"Did you see that?" He pointed at the soldiers holding spears on the war elephants and shouted loudly: "Wait and get rid of them first, and then charge with all your strength to kill the enemy!"

"Follow the order!"

Soon, the two armies were getting closer and closer. The closer they got to the army of war elephants, the more Yuchi Baolin was amazed, but she had no fear.Wang Xuance had already informed him of the weaknesses of the war elephants before coming. As long as they avoided being attacked by the war elephants, they would be safe once they entered the group.

Although the war elephants are majestic, they move slowly. Compared with well-trained soldiers, it is not difficult to avoid them.

"kill!"

Yuchi Baolin held a horse spear and waved his hand. Each of the thousands of soldiers held a crossbow and fired directly at the enemy.The opposing general did not expect to be hit by a hail of arrows, and the unprepared soldiers at the front were suddenly thrown off their feet.

In this gap, Yuchi Baolin rushed in with his men and began to kill and hack the enemy troops.

"Quickly, steal the spear, quickly steal the spear!"

The enemy general immediately ordered.

But the Tang army was faster than them, and the sharpshooters in the army began to exert their strength, holding crossbows and accurately shooting the spear throwers on the war elephants.As for the other enemy archers?
hehe!Do you really think that Datang’s armor is just a decoration?

After the enemy's arrows hit the Tang army, they were bounced away without even leaving a white mark. This made the soldiers on the war elephants pale in shock!
"Kill! Leave the war elephant alone and clear the enemy as quickly as possible!"

Yuchi Gong didn't care about the opponent's arrows at all, and rushed back and forth among the war elephants. He also nimbly dodged the charging war elephants.Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were inevitably separated in this way, wearing steel armor, they simply used the most arrogant and barbaric fighting methods to kill the enemy.

With armor protection, ordinary attacks can't do anything to them.The soldiers just charge and kill!

Soon, everyone broke out of the tight encirclement. It turned out that they had killed the enemy and came to the enemy's back.

"Turn around and keep charging!"

Yuchi Baolin didn't care about anything else and led people into the enemy army again.

Aronashun in the distance was far away and could only see the enemy troops charging into the war elephant herd, and did not care at all about the death of the soldiers!
In his opinion, the war elephant is the most powerful weapon in the world. As long as the war elephant is unharmed, nothing else matters.Soldier?There are some things in the country that can only be solved after death.

But at this time, the poisonous general among the war elephants looked like a concubine. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a third of his soldiers were killed or injured, and many of them were trampled by his own war elephants. Fatal.

The enemy has war horses and can avoid the attacks of war elephants, but his soldiers do not.I saw that the war elephant, which had been unable to kill these pesky eagles for a long time, suddenly turned red in its eyes, obviously angry.

An angry beast doesn't recognize its master or master. As long as it's something in front of him, it's within the scope of his achievements.

As a result, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not kill many people, but were killed by their own war elephants.

The general leading the army was dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a situation before!

In the past, the enemy would be frightened by the charge of the war elephants before they could attack, and they would abandon their armor. All that was left was for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

But now, they have countercharged the enemy cavalry. How dare they?Aren't you afraid?

When Yuchi Baolin, who was charging to kill, saw a man wearing a gorgeous armor on a war elephant, his eyes suddenly lit up. He picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, opened the bow and nocked the arrow, and saw an arrow that was like a shooting star. Shoot at the opponent.

The general, who was trying his best to restore the war elephant's mood, suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his head. When he turned around, his pupils suddenly dilated.

puff!

An arrow hit him squarely in the eye. The huge force caused the arrow to pass through his head and go straight to the back of his head!
"Uh!"

A soldier who was hurriedly avoiding the war elephant suddenly felt that his vision went dark and he saw an object falling from the sky.Without thinking, he blocked it with his knife.

snort~
There was a piercing sound, and when he saw what it was, he saw a man with an arrow shot from the eye into the brain appearing in front of him, and this man seemed to be his general?
"I killed the general?"

The soldier was dumbfounded, but before he could react, he felt a numbness in his neck and the world was spinning. He seemed to have seen his own body?But why is it getting further and further away?
Pfft!
Yuchi Baolin didn't even look at the soldiers she killed. She looked around and found that the enemy troops were completely in chaos.He shouted: "Send the order, attack the war elephant!"

"roar~"

A violent neighing sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and Alonashun, who was being fed by the beauty, stood up suddenly, completely ignoring the beauty who was almost knocked off the war elephant and whose beauty turned pale.

"What's going on? Go and see!"

The neighing sound he heard from the war elephants only occurred when the war elephants were injured or extremely angry!

But soon, he heard several more roars, this time more violent, like an enraged lion.

"Quick, bring people to support, quick!"

Alonashun panicked. War elephants were his greatest capital and support. He felt heartbroken even if one of them died. What's more, the roars were coming one after another. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured!

Each war elephant takes an extremely long time and energy to train, coupled with huge consumption.Although he inherited the best parts of the Harsha Dynasty, he did not have the national power of its heyday.

In order to maintain the number of war elephants in recent years, he had to overdraft the people and collect extremely heavy taxes to maintain the consumption of war elephants.But even so, he had to reduce the number of war elephants.

At this time, the number of war elephants has dropped from tens of thousands at its peak to less than ten thousand now.Now every war elephant is his treasure, how can he tolerate the killing of war elephants?

He now no longer has the mentality of playing cat and mouse, and aims to immediately capture the opponent alive, and then cut him to death with a thousand knives.
Yuchi Baolin didn't know that Alona Shun was the opposite, but even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care.He was currently in the excitement of hunting war elephants.

An elephant can run as far as he can when riding alone.

But what about a group of hundreds of war elephants together?

He had never encountered it before, but now he knew it.

"Beasts are indeed beasts. Even if they have great strength and are tamed, they are still beasts."

After clearing the enemy troops, the soldiers began to attack the elephant's weak points, such as its eyes, ears, and belly.Some even attacked the descendants of other people's elephants, and some even stabbed them in the butt, which made him a little embarrassed for a while!
"Shame!"

Covering his face and wailing, he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground when he thought about being called a butt-killing army in the future.
