Ji Tang

Chapter 1176 The first battle is the decisive battle!Win?

The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the warm breeze is intoxicating, the sky is high and the white clouds are low.

If this were normal times, such beautiful scenery would probably make many literati intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

But now, in the distance, the drums of war drum Lei Dong are shouting loudly.The elephants roared for nine days, and the earth shook.The flags were flying, and the air of killing was permeating the air, just like a human battle formation.

One party was very powerful, with more than [-] people.There are only a few cavalry on one side, and their numbers vary greatly.If it is an ordinary army, I am afraid that the two groups have been fighting for a long time and cannot be on their own.

But looking closely, although the smaller party showed fear, they were holding their weapons tightly and staring ahead.Especially after seeing the cavalry wearing black armor and face shields standing still on both sides, as if they saw the army in front of them as if they were correct, they gained a lot of courage.

Shen Zhen used his binoculars to watch the approaching army, especially when he saw the army of war elephants that were as if they were falling from the sky. Even though he was prepared, he took a breath of cold air.

Huge and invincible, this is his first impact on the army of war elephants.

But he looked at the mountains on both sides and prayed: "Wang Xuance, I have given my life to you. You must not let me down!"

On the top of the mountain on the left, Wang Xuance put down his telescope and whispered: "Tell the soldiers to act according to the plan!"

"promise!"

Ji Ze also put down the telescope in his hand and said with some disbelief: "It's so shocking, so unbelievable. I didn't expect that Shen Du, who was thousands of miles away, could form such a large army of war elephants."

"With their huge bodies, rough skin and thick flesh, you can feel their majesty just by looking at them. Is this really something that can be defeated by human power?"

Ji Xiancheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, there are still many things you should learn."

"So what about the war elephant? Aren't you driven by a group of people who are far inferior to you? What does this mean? This means that no matter how powerful you are, if you don't have a brain, you can only live as a coolie."

"Yes, war elephants have unparalleled strength and powerful defenses that humans cannot match. But so what? Beasts will always be beasts. They cannot control their inner desires and are tamed step by step."

Ji Ze mused, what he had seen in the past few days was an experience he had never thought of in his whole life.He has been studying classics since he was a child and has been obsessed with studying objects.Although he was required to be both civilized and military at home, he still preferred civil affairs and was not very interested in military strategies or fighting.

I used to hear people say that my father was an unparalleled warrior on the battlefield and one of the most handsome men in the Tang Dynasty.Although he had some concepts in his mind, when he was actually there, he realized how ridiculous he was before!
"It's about to start!"

Just when he was having wild thoughts, Wang Xuance on the side said solemnly.

"what?"

He looked intently and saw the enemy army split into a group of about a thousand war elephants, and a supporting army of tens of thousands, slowly marching forward.The oppressive feeling was like being suffocated.

Facing the behemoth, the fear deep in the human heart bursts out.

This is the fear our ancestors had when facing giant beasts when they were surviving in the wilderness. It is something engraved in our bones.

Forcibly suppressing his fear, he understood what his senior brother said for the first time.Human beings are better than animals because they can control their emotions.He knew that once he couldn't control his inner fear, it would be impossible to win against such a large army.

Shen Zhen held the Hengdao so tightly that his joints turned white.

"The whole army obeys the order and mounts the horse!"

Just as the war elephants were rushing in with overwhelming force, Shen Zhen issued an order.

The Shendu soldiers, who had already been overwhelmed by the giant beast's momentum, would have run away long ago unless the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty turned aside again.Amidst the angry shouts of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they woke up and hurriedly carried the horses that had been prepared behind them to the front.

This is a Juma made entirely of giant wood. No matter the cost, the Juma is more than one foot tall and three feet wide without a frame.Moreover, it is marked with dense barbs. If anyone touches it accidentally, a piece of flesh may be torn off!

When Shen Zhen saw the arrangement, he immediately ordered all the infantry to retreat behind the Juma, while he led the Tang Dynasty cavalry to divide into two groups, and continuously shot the spearmen and archers on the war elephants on both sides.

Arona, who thought victory was certain and decided in one battle, could not give in to the general. When he saw the tall horse suddenly appearing in front of him, he felt something was wrong. As he got closer and saw what the thing was, his pupils continued to dilate.

Just when he wanted to order to stop advancing, he found that the running elephant could not stop at all.Even if he wanted to turn around, it would be too late with the huge body of the war elephant.

roar~
Violent screams rang out, and dozens of war elephants in the front row had bloodshot eyes and stopped quickly, but the other war elephants following him did not stop. Under the squeeze of each other, the war elephants in the front row were unlucky.

They watched helplessly as they were pushed by their companions and hit the spikes in front.

Poof, the stimulation of blood made the injured war elephant go crazy. They had completely lost their restraints. Before dying, he wanted to tear everything he saw in front of him into pieces with his ivory.

The soldiers who were originally cooperating with the war elephant were miserable. Before they could figure out what happened, they discovered that the front was in chaos.The army that was charging forward suddenly stopped, and the war elephants around them began to become restless.

Many soldiers were trampled to death by war elephants.The stimulation of blood made the war elephant even more violent.In addition, the arrows shot from both sides could not hurt them, but they made them irritated.

Just when the enemy was in chaos, Shen Zhen was not idle.He said to Yuchi Baolin beside him: "This time you will lead the cavalry charge. Remember, safety comes first. If nothing can be done, withdraw immediately."

"I will raid the formation for you!"

Yuchi Baolin was overjoyed, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds came!

"promise!"

Immediately, he immediately led his two thousand cavalrymen to divide into six groups, leading troops to attack from the front, middle and rear sections of the war elephant army.As before, first create chaos, clear out enemy soldiers, and then shoot the archers and spear throwers on the war elephants.

After three in and three out, the enemy soldiers suffered heavy losses, but more of it was caused by the fear of being small and being restricted and being unable to attack the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

But the next scene left Ji Ze on the mountain stunned.After clearing away the enemy soldiers, the Tang soldiers smiled excitedly and looked at the war elephants as if they were looking at little white sheep.

puff!

Roar!
Screams, neighs, and angry roars echoed across the battlefield.

He watched helplessly as the war elephant, which was originally considered invincible, went completely crazy under the "coquettish" manipulations of the Tang soldiers.

How terrifying are crazed war elephants?
I saw that the originally orderly army of war elephants was completely in chaos. The 'elephant knight' on the back of the war elephant could no longer control the war elephant. It shook violently and fell like dumplings from the elephant's back.

But before they could react, they saw the usually docile war elephant stepping directly towards them with its huge hooves.His eyes were red, as if he was possessed.

"Impossible, it's impossible!"

"How could my army of war elephants be defeated? I don't believe it!" Naluanashun was completely crazy. The beautiful woman next to him wanted to comfort him, but the angry Naluanashun raised her high and fiercely towards her. Fell to the ground.

"Ah~"

bang~
Looking at the dying woman, Aronashun had no mercy in his eyes.He picked up the sword that had been hidden for a long time and raised it high.Roaring: "The whole army attacks!"

"Kill this king!"

He figured it out and couldn't go on like this.

If the previous one hundred war elephants only made him feel distressed, then the current defeat of one thousand war elephants completely made him lose his cool.His greatest reliance is the army of war elephants.

But now?

A thousand war elephants were killed before they even touched the enemy's sleeves.

That's right, in his opinion, he was played to death.

This was something he couldn't accept, let alone understand.Why did such a thing happen to the invincible army of war elephants in the past?Who are those black armored cavalry?

They are definitely not poisonous people, but no matter how much he inquires, he cannot confirm the identity of the other party.

Now, he doesn't want anything else.He just wants to lead his army of war elephants to tear the enemy in front of him into pieces. He cannot tolerate such a failure.Once this battle is reported back, those who are dissatisfied with themselves will immediately rebel.

The war elephant was his support. Once he no longer had the deterrence of the war elephant, or knew how to deal with the war elephant, his support would be gone. Thinking of such consequences, an astonishing murderous look was released in his eyes.

You must not keep the people in front of you, and you must not let anyone go back.

He didn't know how the other party dealt with the war elephant, but it was obvious that the other party had mastered the method of dealing with the elephant.

No longer conserving his strength, he will go all out to crush the opposing army and kill everyone.

If he had just a cat-and-mouse mentality before, it's completely different now.Thousands of war elephants advanced at the same time. It was like an earthquake. The two people were holding the sea. Smoke and dust were everywhere. For a while, the flying dust in the driving place actually covered the opponent's army. Such momentum made Wang Xuance and others who were observing tighten their hearts.

"What a decisive man, he actually mobilized the entire army!"

Wang Xuance sighed. He originally wanted to use the blunt knife of the other party's arrogance to cut his flesh.But now that less than a thousand war elephants had been wiped out, the opponent went crazy and launched a general attack regardless of everything.

"Send the order, pretend to be defeated, and retreat slowly!"

"promise!"

In fact, there is no need to pretend to be defeated, because once there are no soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to suppress them, the soldiers from Rajagaha will be the first to run away in respect.No need to pretend at all.

Sure enough, after receiving the military order, Shen Zhen was "defeated" before the enemy was about to come, throwing away his helmet and armor, and even his weapons on the ground.Not to mention the soldiers of Rajgir City, they simply discarded their weapons, turned around and ran towards the mountains on both sides.

Obviously they were notified of this in advance. Although it was disappointing, they couldn't just watch them being trampled by war elephants, right?If the casualties were too serious, they would not be able to 'account' to the Queen.

In fact, this is just taking advantage of the war elephant's shortcoming that it is not easy to turn while running wildly.

After Alonashun's attack, he discovered that the enemy had already run away. Looking at the 'broken army' escaping towards the mountain on the left, he showed a bloodthirsty smile.He said ferociously: "Run? Can you run away?"

He immediately ordered the army to turn around and kill towards the mountains on both sides.In his mind, once the enemy army is defeated, it is time to enjoy the fruits of victory, let alone other thoughts.

Looking at the approaching army, the soldiers of Rajagaha who were soon overtaken showed despair. Some even stopped running and knelt on the ground to surrender. This made Aronashun no longer have any scruples.

The only thing that puzzles him now is, where is the cavalry?

But when he saw the defeated army that was about to catch up, he put it behind him, thinking that as long as he captured Rajgir, those people would naturally appear.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Five loud bangs like thunder resounded throughout the valley, and the war elephant that was advancing suddenly stopped. If Aluonashun hadn't hurriedly pulled the guardrail, he would have been thrown out immediately.

"Bastard, what happened?"

He said a little annoyed.

Can he be happy after almost losing his master?

But at this moment, a sound broke through the air. Before he could react, he heard a few muffled sounds from ahead, and then something happened that almost shocked him.

I saw several spherical-shaped things bouncing up from the ground. Anyone who was touched was either beaten to a bloody pulp or missing arms and legs.

Even at the end, he was still rolling forward for dozens of feet, and all the people or food he encountered along the way were smashed to pieces.

Five eye-catching blood paths were clearly revealed.After a brief period of silence, the war elephants in the front row all became chaotic. They watched helplessly as their companions were smashed into a bloody hole, and then died.

After the animal was warned of danger, it went completely crazy. Under the crazy shaking, the Qunu City soldier was shaken off, and was trampled into a pulp before it could get up.

When five loud noises were heard from the mountain again, the war elephants ran back crazily.

When faced with unknown fears, beasts have worse endurance than humans. In their simple consciousness, when faced with incomprehensible fears, the only way to do it is to run as far as possible.

When the Five Paths of Blood appeared again, not only the war elephants, but also the soldiers in Qunv City collapsed.The soldiers of Rajagaha who could only wait for death suddenly became confused.

Why did the enemy suddenly run away?

But then some smart people rolled their eyes, thought of the reward given by the queen, and felt hatred in their hearts. They picked up weapons and chopped off the head of the nearest soldier from Qunu City who was in a daze, and then tied it to his belt. Just keep looking for the next target.

One or two, smart everywhere, they found the opportunity immediately after the danger was eliminated.The originally demoralized soldiers of Rajgir suddenly changed and they attacked the enemy soldiers frantically.

They were so frightened that they no longer had the courage to run.

After the sound of artillery on the mountain on the right rang out, Wang Xuance put down what he was holding and said with a smile: "It's done!"

Ji Ze nodded numbly. There was no battle in front of the battle, and there was no magic plan. There was just boring waiting, and giving the right instructions at the right time, and then...
Then there is no more, because the enemy has been defeated.
