Chapter 61 The Despicable Anti-War Elephant Weapon in History

() Who said that crossing the river at Tongjiao is a rocket phenomenon?Let's look at Ye Qi's most despicable anti-war weapon!

The flag gate was shaken, and several trombones sounded. * www . s&nbsbsp;om *

The ten strange steps lined up behind the artillery team heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the dancing of the flag gate, and quickly retreated, opening the distance from the artillery team like a tide.

After retreating about hundreds of steps, under the command of Guan Qi, the original ten phalanxes with odd units were merged into five large phalanxes with thousands of people.

The spearmen and musketeers in each odd lined up separately, and the spearmen lined up in dense horizontal formations, with about 50 people in front of each horizontal formation and 10 rows in depth, forming a rectangular phalanx. The four corners of the phalanx are Arquebus soldiers also lined up in dense squares.The swordsmen holding the Juehu Dao lined up in small teams, with each odd as the basic unit, cruising between the various phalanxes to support.Ruan Jiajun showed his training level in front of the South China Army by rapidly changing formation.

The distance between the phalanx and the phalanx is about ten feet, leaving a very wide passage.

After the square formation was formed, there was a sound of orderly shouts in the formation, which must have been the shouts and cheers of the Ruan family army.

However, the shouts of the soldiers were quickly covered by another voice.

As the ground trembled slightly, dozens of war elephants hidden in the shadow of the long base neighed loudly, and slowly came to the front from behind the battle formation.

In this era, the lethality of war elephants in the tropics is like a group attack of tanks.Just imagine, dozens or hundreds of tanks attacking the infantry positions. The visual shock and psychological pressure are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Today's war elephants are those dozens or hundreds of tanks!

"War elephant! The Ruan family's war elephant!" The artillerymen at the forefront were a little flustered.Also in Annan, these people have also seen elephants, and they would not think that these behemoths are long-nosed bull monsters.

The war elephants walked slowly, led by the elephant slaves, through the channel reserved between the phalanxes, and came to the front of the formation, allowing the soldiers of the South China Army to see more clearly.

On the nearly five-foot-long tusks, a long knife was tied, and the sharp tip of the knife shone chillingly in the sun.The huge bodies of the war elephants are covered with leather armor made of cowhide strips, which can protect the enemy's arrows.There were five or six figures flashing in the bamboo house on the back of the elephant. From the small window, people seemed to see the barrel of a musket.

As the war elephant moved forward, the soldiers of the Ruan family's army got rid of the decadence and panic that had just been hit by the artillery, and their morale quickly recovered.When the war elephants slowly passed each square formation, the soldiers in the square formation burst into bursts of cheerful cheers and cheers.

In the past, when the Ruan family army conquered the native villages in the south, or the city of Champa, war elephants played a great role.These big guys who are about ten feet tall and weigh thousands of catties, no matter whether they are facing a solid wall or a tall house, they will all be knocked down, and then, the troops behind the elephants can swarm in, wantonly After the massacre, the city changed hands.This is only for attacking fortifications. In the field state, no matter how brave you are and how powerful you are, you are weak and powerless in front of this seemingly simple and docile guy.As long as its long nose is curled and flicked, a good man will be punished immediately.

Soon, under the training of the elephant slaves, dozens of war elephants lined up in front of the phalanx.

The war elephants led the troops in a phalanx to attack. This phalanx was given to the Ruan Army by the former coach of Lieutenant Fernandez.

The war elephants rushed forward to break through the enemy's formation, and the Spanish phalanx followed to prepare for the enemy's scattered. Relying on these two tactics, the Ruan family was invincible south of the Lingjiang River.

Huang Lei looked at the situation on the opposite side, and then carefully looked at the gunners around him. The eyes of the gunners were a little straight, and the corners of their mouths, hands and feet trembled slightly.

We can't blame these gunners for their timidity. Just imagine, anyone would be afraid in the face of hideous elephants.Including Huang Lei supporting himself.

However, as an artillery officer in charge of dozens of cannons, Huang Leiting is still very confident in his firepower strike ability, "Boys! I don't believe you loaded the cannons with shotguns. Let's shoot out dozens of cannons." With hundreds of thousands of shotguns, can't you kill these dozens of stupid elephants?!"

In a word, the gunners woke up like a dream, hurriedly went to the auxiliary vehicle to get the shrapnel, loaded it in a hurry, and filled the gun bore with the launch charge package.

"That's right! Boys! According to what the general said, we gunners must either wipe out the enemy in front of our position, or let the enemy step over our corpses, boys! Are you willing to let the enemy step on our body?" Follow your dead bodies? Are you willing to let the enemy snatch your property and burn your fields?!"

The gunners who said a few words roared angrily, "I don't want to!"

"I'm going to let the enemy's corpses pile up in front of our guns!"

Commander Huang was very satisfied to see his subordinates' fighting spirit soaring.However, when he saw Ye Qi's commander Fang Ningxuan leading dozens of soldiers out of breath, he was a little confused.

After hearing Fang Ningxuan's reason for coming, Huang Leiting was stunned for a while, and then laughed wildly. He turned his head and bowed his hands to Ye Qi's flag formation, "Ye Shaoning, you are also the best in the world!"

With the assistance of the artillery, dozens of soldiers brought by Fang Ningxuan quickly dug more than [-] shallow earth pits in front of the artillery barracks, moved the gunpowder packs they brought around, and placed them in the pits.

After making this arrangement, they held the fire rope in their hands and took a squatting position to wait behind the pits they dug.

Following Ruan Fu's cry, "Let the northern bandits see the strength of our army." The Ruan family's army shouted in unison, "Kill!" Dozens of war elephants, driven by the elephant slaves, began to move forward slowly. The ones turned into small steps and brisk walks, and then gradually accelerated to run.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" As the battle drums roared in the formation, Huang Leiting also issued a battle order to the gunners. Although Fang Ningxuan brought Ye Qi's method of defending against the enemy, just in case, he still ordered The gunners loaded their shotguns and prepared to meet the enemy.

The gunner's rangefinder, holding an artillery mirror, nervously observed the black line from far to near, and kept reporting the distance data in his mouth.

"The enemy elephant is a thousand steps away from me!"

"Eight hundred steps away from me!"

"Seven hundred steps away from me!"

"Six hundred steps away from me!"

"Five hundred steps away from me!"

As a series of data was reported, the gunners were also constantly adjusting the shooting angle, and the position of the muzzle was lowered little by little.

"Four hundred steps away from me!"

Huang Leiting heard his heartbeat getting stronger and stronger, and he already felt the strong tremor on the ground under his feet when dozens of war elephants galloped towards him.He licked his dry lips, "Target! Enemy war elephants! All guns fire!"

"ignition!"

At the moment when the gunners were about to wave the fire ropes in their hands to the fuse, the dozens of people waiting in front of the artillery team lit the twisters of the gunpowder packs, and then quickly ran to another pit and lit another fire. a medicine pack.

In the blink of an eye, more than [-] gunpowder packets scrambled to be the first to fly into the mid-air, with crooked trajectories, flying in a mess in mid-air.

"Elephants, with their docile character, huge body, long nose, and slow pace, have always been the most popular objects among children in zoos. In Annan at that time, it was also the place where people lived, produced and worked every day. A good helper. Use its great strength to help the people. In the war against the invasion of Li Shouhan's gang, the elephant has changed from a labor helper to a brave and fearless warrior. But it is such a cute animal, a good helper to people, Li Shouhan One of the most ferocious minions, Ye Qi, actually used the most appalling and despicable weapons to deal with them."

In his own writings, Nguyen Phuc specifically mentioned this tactic and weapon.Indignant in speech.

Each gunpowder packet exploded in the air, bursting into red fireworks.Hundreds of fireworks formed a red landscape in the sky, but this landscape is not only beautiful, but also exciting.

"Damn it! What's the matter, it's so spicy! It's so choking!" Although Huang Leiting was still hundreds of steps away from this scenery, he was still choked by the pungent and spicy coughing.

The war elephants galloping in the distance were even more miserable. Fang Ningxuan's planned shooting area was exactly where the war elephants were about to attack.

The high-pitched and sharp screams pierced people's eardrums, and even overwhelmed the rumbling gunfire. It was the painful neighing of war elephants.Just when the first wave of gunpowder packets exploded in the air, the head elephant already sensed the danger coming!

A large amount of chili powder was added to the gunpowder bag, and the classic tactic of the People's Liberation Army's field work taught by Li Shouhan, the 320 blasting method, was adopted.That is, when setting different target distances, excavate the throwing pit, set the bottom angle of the pit, calculate the amount of throwing powder, the maximum weight of the charge that can be thrown, etc., and the length of the fuse on the gunpowder pack used (due to The specifics are different, the flight time of the charge package is different, so in order to ensure that the explosion is basically above the target, the length of the fuse used as a delay is also different)

A large amount of hot pepper was thrown by the gunpowder, and after burning for a short time, it formed a pungent spicy taste, forming an obstacle in the air that no animal could bear.Especially elephants, a land animal that claims to be second only to humans in intelligence.

The elephant is an animal with large size and great strength. It has a great shocking effect on people who don't know it. However, its weakness is also obvious.Sensitive and intelligent.And a major physical weakness is that its sense of smell is also very sensitive. The nose of an elephant is even said to be more sensitive than that of a dog.How can such an animal not go crazy when faced with a stimulating biochemical weapon attack?How can you not go crazy?

The elephants roared and rolled, colliding with each other with their huge bodies, overturning the bamboo building on their backs, crushing the drivers, archers and gunmen into meatloaf, and rolling up the elephant slaves who tried to stop them with their long trunks. Throwing it far and wide, then with red and swollen eyes and tears, (spicy!) turned around and ran wildly, rushing towards all directions except the Nanzhong Army formation, and the obstacles that would block them, those Ruan The artillery that the family was proud of was overturned to the ground and crashed straight into the formation of the Ruan family army.

The soldiers of the Ruan family, who were originally high-spirited and high-spirited, were lined up neatly in a large square formation, and were preparing to be attacked by war elephants. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed suddenly, and their own vanguard became the enemy's sharp knife!The infantry who followed frantically opened fire at the crazy war elephants with their muskets, but it stimulated these already crazy giants even more. The red-eyed war elephants rushed towards the flying bullets. , The soldiers lined up neatly were full of blood mold, and the elephants trampled the Spanish phalanx of the Ruan family's elite soldiers in a mess. On the escape routes of the elephants, there were rivers of blood!There were broken limbs and bones scattered everywhere, and people fell to the ground and moaned.

While you are sick, I will kill you!Ye Qi and a group of battalion officers are not Song Xianggong.What we are waiting for is the arrival of this opportunity when the enemy formation is in chaos!

Seeing that the war elephant, the biggest threat to his artillery team, was fascinated by Ye Qi's biochemical weapon - chili powder, Huang Lei grinned and laughed twice.Then waved the command flag in his hand, "Fire!"

The angle of the muzzle had been adjusted to be almost horizontal, the purpose was to balance the attack formation of the war elephants, but now that the war elephants had become their own sharp knife troops, it was naturally not easy to attack again.

"Hey! Let's add fire to you!"

Under the command of Huang Leiting, dozens of cannons spewed out a strong flame one by one, and then white smoke rose. Hundreds of projectiles scrambled to the distance under the propulsion of gunpowder, hitting people or war elephant body.

"Change shells! Change solid shells!"

After one round of shotgun bullets, one round of solid bullets, and two rounds of artillery fire, the formation of Ruan's army has become dilapidated under the combined ravages of war elephants and artillery.Just now it was still a neat big square, but now it is a mess.
