Li Xiang still thought of this method in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, when fierce beasts appeared on Meng Huo's side, Zhuge Liang also used fire attacks.

Changsun Chong never appeared on the battlefield because he received this order from Li Xiang and had to collect a large amount of lamp oil, otherwise it would not be enough.

"Can this burn an elephant to death?"

Changsun Ze said a little strangely that the power of the fire bottle is indeed not small, but if you want to burn the elephant to death, it may not be that simple.

Seeing Li Xiang shaking his head, his men became even more stupid. Since we can't burn the elephant to death, why do we need so many fire bottles? From clay bottles to lamp oil, these things are not cheap.

"I know what you are wondering is, these things are also to block the advance of the war elephant troops. When they rush up, we must create a sea of ​​fire in front of them. No matter how hard the soldiers push the elephants, they will not Keep going, this will give us time to react. When the war elephant troops are spinning in circles, you have to kill those animal tamers as quickly as possible."

Li Xiang carefully explained the tactics to everyone. After Li Xiang finished speaking, those present all understood that it was too difficult to kill the elephant. Even the current Tang army could not Sure, but if the tamer is killed, the elephant will become the original beast.

"And you have to understand that, except for the cavalry, other armies are not allowed to come into contact with the elephant troops. After we kill the tamers, these elephants will be in a state of madness. If the infantry gets too close, they will be there at any time. They may trample the cavalry to death, so after killing the beast tamers, you must retreat as soon as possible."

Li Xiang continued to talk about his tactics, and everyone nodded beside them. Without the tamers, these elephants would go crazy for a while, but the cavalry retreated very quickly, and the elephants could not keep up. .

When the elephants run out of strength, their army will cease to exist.

There are more elephants in the Pyu Kingdom, but they don't have that many tamers. After losing a group on the battlefield, it is not easy for them to replace them.

"I also brought a lot of animal tamers from Nanzhao this time. They are also confident in taming some elephants. We have to follow the locals. These elephants are not weak in ability. If they are tamed, they will be tamed every day. Just transporting things for us is worth several war horses."

Changsun Chong pointed to a camp in the north, where there were already more than 200 beast tamers.

Although these people cannot guarantee that they will be able to tame the elephant, some of them will succeed.

"Then we can attack with confidence. Starting from tomorrow, you will conduct a sweep of the surrounding unoccupied areas and wipe out all resistance forces."

Li Xiang has been worried these days. If we encounter a war elephant troop, our losses will definitely be inevitable. Now that we have these fire bottles, there is nothing to worry about. Each troop carries some. If we encounter war elephant troops, we can directly surround them with flames, and we can retreat calmly. Of course, this is just a style of play developed by Li Xiang. Whether it can work on the real battlefield remains to be seen slowly.

Inspired by the King of Piao, the troops in various regions moved faster. In just seven or eight days, they had already gathered into a long river like streams, with a total of more than 90,000 people gathered.

Together with the more than 30,000 people supported by Chenla, they formed an army of 120,000. Under the leadership of General Mi Peng, they began to move towards the north.

It is a coincidence that the combat area chosen by Piao Guo basically coincides with the combat area chosen by Li Xiang. This place is located about fifty kilometers south of Wacheng. It is a flat plain.

According to the ideas of the Piao court, they first concentrated their superior forces to carry out a devastating blow to the Tang army. As long as the Tang army suffered heavy losses, the remaining Tang army would definitely withdraw, even if they did not. , that will also stick to Wacheng and will not cause too much harm to the south of Piao State.

When this strategy was announced, General Mi Peng understood that the Pius court did not even think about regaining the lost land in the north. As long as the Tang army could stop, the Pyu State was even willing to cede the land in the north.

This made General Mi Peng very disappointed, but he could not defeat the entire court by himself. He could only think that winning this battle would be better and allow the Tang army to retreat further.

Of course, this is a very difficult task. Don't look at the fact that the Tang army only has 20,000 people in the south of Wacheng. They have a full 120,000 people here. The Tang army is not even as good as a fraction of them, but General Mi Peng Understand, you can kill Wacheng in such a short period of time. Do you think that the Tang army is just doing nothing? Our troops on the northern border are much better than those in the south.

The Pyu Kingdom has always regarded Datang as their biggest threat, so the most elite troops in the country are on the northern border.

According to their thinking, even if we can't win, as the defensive side, Wa City should be in our hands. At most, we will lose the land in the north of Wa City. But who knew that Wa City would be defeated in such a short period of time? fell.

So when we went to the north, General Mi Peng frowned all the time, but other people in the army were very optimistic. After receiving the support of 30,000 people from Zhenla, they believed that the Tang army could be drowned by spitting. , we are six times their number.

General Mi Peng didn't know what to say to his subordinates' optimism. If the battlefield relied solely on numbers, then the Tang Dynasty would just send over 200,000 troops. We would just admit defeat. Why bother fighting on the battlefield? What about the ones who were beaten to death? Wouldn't it be better to skip this process?

Of course, he can't say these words. The morale of the soldiers is not high. If he says these words again, and he is still the commander of the army, then the morale of the entire army will drop sharply. I'm afraid it won't wait. There will be deserters in the frontline army.

Moo!

Just when the general of the honey shed was thinking about the problem, the screams of a dozen elephants nearby rang out. A smile finally appeared on the face of the general of the honey shed. How could he forget our secret weapon?

This is something that the Tang army has never seen before, and they have never fought against it in Nanzhao... (End of Chapter)
