Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 337. Giant Elephant
“Roar?! Awooo…”

The bursting flames, colorful sparks, and crackling sounds were a devastating blow to King Mulu's army of beasts.

The jackals, tigers and leopards that had acted like ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts just now actually made whimpering sounds that only canines make.

His originally fierce eyes were cleared by the explosion, and he used all his limbs, wishing he could escape from the battlefield immediately.

The spectacular scene, which was originally like thousands of beasts galloping, now became extremely chaotic. No matter how the beast trainers under King Mulu shouted, or even if King Mulu gave the order himself, the panicked beasts still fled in all directions without looking back.

As the Han army shot wave after wave of arrows, many wild beasts were shot dead on the spot. Even those that survived were so frightened by the explosions and flames that they dared not continue to rush towards the Han army's positions.

As luck would have it, many wild beasts even rushed back to the main camp of the Nanzhong army in panic. These stressed animals would not consider things like formations like humans, not to mention that even if they were humans, wouldn't it be rare for the defeated soldiers to counterattack the friendly army's formation?
Humans will not retain much rationality even when they are extremely panicked, let alone animals with very small brains?

These wild beasts, which Meng Huo had originally hoped would be able to break through the Han army's formation under the leadership of King Mulu, now turned the tables and attacked Meng Huo's formation.

The soldiers of the Southern Central Army were caught off guard and scattered by these beasts. Although these beasts did not hurt them directly, it was still unpleasant to be hit by a tiger or leopard, so for a while, Meng Huo's main camp was also filled with grief.

"What kind of magic did the Han army use?! What are these things!"

As the king of Nanzhong, Meng Huo would certainly be safe, but he saw the scene clearly from his high place. It seemed that the Han army did something, but also did nothing, and King Mulu's front line was in chaos.

Of course, since there were parts that were affected, there were naturally parts that were not affected. A small number of wild beasts managed to rush into the Han army, but they were faced with another type of crossbow arrows.

The soldiers of the Shenjiying Camp, dressed in white robes, held a crossbow that looked like a large box in their hands. They pushed the lever on it a few times, and instantly, crossbow arrows shot straight at the wild beasts that had just escaped the disaster like rain.

"Ow!"

These beasts screamed in agony as they were shot. Even if a few of them occasionally pounced on them, they were directly stabbed to death by the Han army's spearmen following the shield and axe soldiers, without causing any ripples.

"Damn it, what on earth did the Han army use? These beasts don't even obey my orders..."

King Mulu was sweating coldly as he rode on the giant elephant. Although elephants were extremely destructive, they did not move very fast, so they were not affected by the chaos just now. This was a blessing in disguise. Elephants were not like ordinary wild beasts. If they went crazy, something bad would happen.

"As expected, beasts are beasts. They can't stand explosions and fire."

Feng Xi saw it clearly from the tower. Because of this wave of "fireworks", King Mulu's first wave of attack was directly disrupted, and the Nanzhong Army that wanted to follow up in the rear was also messed up and unable to move forward.

Now that the enemy's formation is in disarray, it is time for the Han army to turn.

"March with drums!"

At Feng Xi's command, the Han army's flags fluttered, and the Han army soldiers advanced steadily forward according to the pre-trained formation, led by officers of all ranks, preparing to cross the trenches they had dug and take the initiative to attack.

"The Han army dares to take the initiative to attack?" Meng Huo saw from a high place that the Han army's formation, which had been as stable as a rock, was actually moving, and seemed to be preparing to attack outward. He was immediately overjoyed.

Although the front line was in a state of chaos, the South Central Army regained stability after being controlled by Dong Tuna and A Huinan. Although the beasts could not understand human language, fortunately some of them had disappeared, others were killed on the spot, and some were not too frightened and recovered.

That is to say, even if the Han army attacked rashly, it might not necessarily gain any benefits. The beasts in chaos did not distinguish between friend and foe. If the Han army stayed put, they would only cause trouble for the South Central Army. However, if the Han army took the initiative to get involved, the situation would be hard to predict.

"The Han army is coming, meet them!"

Meng Huo saw it, and King Mulu, who was riding on an elephant at the front line, naturally saw it too. He shouted loudly, trying to let the elephant soldiers following him take the lead in breaking up the Han army's formation.

The huge elephant was moving forward like a steamroller. From time to time, a few panicked beasts would fall under the elephant's hooves and be trampled into meat paste without any suspense.

"What a giant beast this is..."

Guan Xing and other generals who had never seen an elephant were stunned by the huge beast that was as big as a hill. If the generals were like this, what about the ordinary soldiers? Most of them were stunned, with their mouths wide open, at a loss.

If the Han army had not always maintained strict military discipline, I'm afraid that many soldiers would have been defeated. Facing such a behemoth, the feeling of powerlessness that human power is limited was particularly obvious.

"Oh, damn vision. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely build a zoo."

Feng Xi couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the generals and ordinary soldiers below, all of whom seemed a little overwhelmed and bewildered about the elephant.

"Forget it. Although arrangements have already been made, I still have to take the lead myself."

Feng Xi jumped down from the high tower, but the height was less than two stories, so it was nothing to him.

Feng Xi climbed onto his BMW "Yanyun", holding his red tasseled spear in his hand, and rode towards the front of the battle.

Now the Han army was actually frightened by King Mulu's giant elephant. Although Feng Xi knew that the Han army could recover if they calmed down a little, the effect would definitely not be as good as if he set a good example.

"Bao Feng, what are you waiting for? Why don't you attack?"

Similarly, Bao Feng, a fierce general who was born in Bingzhou and later came to Jingzhou, has been bravely leading the way since joining the Han army, following Feng Xi in battles and making many military achievements. Now he was also shocked by this behemoth in Nanzhong and was speechless. It was only when a familiar voice sounded from behind that he woke up from his dream.

"Grand Admiral, what is this?"

Bao Feng calmed himself down and saw Feng Xi riding a horse towards him from behind with a helpless and angry look on his face. He couldn't help but ask this question, which seemed a little stupid in later generations.
