The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 833 832 Behemoth
Gan Ning left the barracks with [-] soldiers and horses, and when he asked where the scout Meng Huo's army was, he galloped over like flying.

Half a day later, three thousand soldiers came and went like the wind, and they were about to reach Meng Huo's army. The scouts sent by Gan Ning came back and reported that Meng Huo was about five miles ahead, and was advancing. All of them were beasts he had never seen before.

Gan Ning made a quick decision, knowing that Meng Huo was going to the Han army camp, so he set up an ambush on the only way he had to pass, waiting for Meng Huo and others to enter the ambush circle, and then attacked them by surprise.

After some preparations, Gan Ning and the others got everything ready and waited for Meng Huo and the others to sneak into the ambush circle.

Gan Ning hid in the bushes by the roadside, looked out through the gap, but thought to himself: "Meng Huo, this time I will let you come and go!"

This is a hilly area with uneven terrain and dense forests on both sides of the road, which is very suitable for ambush soldiers and horses. For Gan Ning, this is simply an excellent opportunity.

However, things often backfired. When Meng Huo drove the army to gradually arrive here, Gan Ning and others heard the roar of the beast before they saw anyone. The sound was thick and strange, and they had never heard it before. After that, there was not only a chill in my heart.

After a while, a monster with a height of several meters came into everyone's sight. The monster had a huge body, four thick hooves, and ears on both sides of its head that were bigger than cattail fans. With two huge fangs, although he walked slowly, every step was heavy. Whenever his feet landed, the ground seemed to tremble.

In addition, this monster carried something like a sedan chair on its back, and inside it sat three bows and arrows holding bows and arrows, all vigilant, and sharp eyes scanning everything on the ground.

This is a huge monster that even Gan Ning has never seen before. The strange appearance, strange cry, and huge body have left a shadow in people's hearts, and many soldiers have even become timid.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

More and more huge monsters came into everyone's eyes, and the ground seemed to be shaking. The soldiers of the Han army hid in the bushes and remained motionless, with cold sweat pouring out from their backs. No one felt confident that they could defeat such an army.

Even Gan Ning was overwhelmed by this strange giant, which made him lose his mind for a while.Just when Gan Ning was still uncertain about whether to attack or not, the archer on the back of the huge monster looked down and suddenly spotted the soldiers hiding in the bushes.

"There is an ambush!"

The rebels suddenly yelled, and several archers drew their bows to shoot arrows, and shot the arrows in their hands, and launched the attack first, breaking the calm here.

A few soldiers of the Han army who did not hide fell in response, with deadly arrows stuck in their chests, and fell in a pool of blood!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the rebels attacked first. Gan Ning and other ambush soldiers were completely exposed to the attacks of these rebels, and had no choice but to fight hastily.

The ambush appeared, and the rebels rushed towards the rebels like a tidal wave, but when they rushed in front of the huge monster, they didn't know how to attack, and were picked up by the hard and long fangs of the huge monster. stand up.

The rebels drove those giants forward, and the soldiers of the Han army were like ants in front of these giants. Some were trampled to death instantly, some were pierced by fangs, and some were shot to death by arrows. The army was killed and wounded, and mourning was everywhere.

The Han army in the front was defeated, and the rest of the Han army was terrified when they saw it. Before the battle, they were already terrified and dared not approach these behemoths.

Seeing this, Gan Ning also felt lingering fears and didn't know what to do. In order to cause unnecessary casualties, Gan Ning ordered the retreat while letting the archers cover his wings.

However, those huge monsters were covered with a layer of iron armor, which was impenetrable for arrows to shoot through, so they were easily irritated. The archers of the rebel army were even more condescending to shoot arrows.

As the saying goes, the army is defeated like a mountain. At this moment, the Han army has no ability to resist at all, and can only be slaughtered. If you don't run away desperately, you will die.Finally, the morale of the Han army fell to the bottom and collapsed instantly. All the soldiers had to flee for their lives...

Gan Ning managed to escape back to the barracks with his people. At this time, he had lost his original ambitions. Facing the terrifying giant, as soon as he returned to the barracks, he immediately reported to Zhang Liao the power of the rebels and the huge monsters. terrible.

After listening to Gan Ning's report, Zhuge Liang glanced at Yang Feng and asked, "General Yang, what is the giant monster that General Gan is talking about?"

"Elephants are unique to Funan Kingdom. This kind of animal is not very brave, but it was trained by the people of Funan Kingdom as their war tool. With the tall body of these animals, they gallop back and forth on the battlefield, just like It's like entering no man's land, and this is the fundamental reason why Funan Kingdom, which only has more than [-] soldiers, is established there." Yang Feng said.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then asked: "Everything is mutually reinforcing. Since an elephant is an animal, there must be something that scares him. Does General Yang know what kind of animal the elephant's natural enemy is?"

"There are no natural enemies of elephants here, elephants are invincible!" Yang Feng said.

Zhuge Liang said: "There is nothing absolute. Even if he has no natural enemies, he must be afraid of some animals, right? I don't believe it, this elephant is really so invincible!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Liao for orders, and planned to take a few people to observe the elephant himself.Zhang Liao didn't let Zhuge Liang go out of safety considerations, but Zhuge Liang insisted on doing so. Zhang Liao and the generals couldn't persuade him. In the end, Zhang Liao agreed to Zhuge Liang's request and sent Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others to go with Zhuge Liang and accompany him. Protect Zhuge Liang comprehensively.

Ever since, Zhuge Liang, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others left the camp, searched for the location provided by the scouts, and when they were about to approach the enemy, they sent scouts to investigate first. Instead of advancing, the rebels stopped to rest by a small river nearby.

So, Zhuge Liang and others slipped quietly to the side of the small river, observing these huge monsters called elephants from a distance.

At this moment, the rebels were resting by the small river. Groups of elephants stood and played in the water, sucked water from the river with their long trunks, and then sprayed the water out with their noses. Camp on the shore.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the elephants played in the water for a while before they were driven ashore, and then a special person fed the elephants with food, such as bananas and apples, but no meat was seen.

After the elephants foraged, they were driven together and rested in a fence, while outside were some soldiers responsible for guarding the elephant herd.

In the distance, Zhuge Liang and others carefully watched what happened on the other side of the river. It was not until night fell that Zhuge Liang let everyone go back to camp together.

On the way back, Zhuge Liang sorted out the things he had seen again, and when he arrived at the barracks, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself, "So that's how it is..."

"Military teacher, why is this so?" Xu Huang was the closest to Zhuge Liang, and when he heard Zhuge Liang muttering to himself, he felt strange, so he asked.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Xu Huang: "I have a way to deal with these behemoths!"

Xu Huang was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Is it true?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Let's go, let's go see the chief governor!"

The group returned to the barracks and saw Zhang Liao. It was getting late at this time, but Zhang Liao was anxiously waiting for Zhuge Liang and the others to return. After seeing Zhuge Liang and the others coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief. Three long and two short.

"Military division, you are finally back! What can you gain from this trip?" Zhang Liao asked.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's been a lot! I've already found a way to deal with those giant monsters!"

Zhang Liao said in surprise, "Tell me!"

Zhuge Liang said: "All the generals and I have been observing these behemoths for a long time, and I didn't find any clues until the enemy fed them. Based on what Yang Feng said before, I can roughly draw a conclusion."

"What conclusion?" Zhang Liao asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "Although these giants are tall, they are not carnivorous animals. They eat some seasonal fruits. Combined with what Yang Feng said before, these animals called elephants are relatively docile. It's hard to see their habits."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, dubiously believing Zhuge Liang's words.

"Military teacher, although these elephants eat some seasonal fruits, it doesn't prove that they don't eat meat. If such a ferocious animal doesn't eat meat, how can it gain a foothold in the forest?" Gan Ning retorted.

Zhuge Liang said: "If these elephants are all carnivores, then the people who feed them will definitely feed them meat instead of fruit. May I ask, does a carnivore have to have meat in every meal? Common tigers, wolves and other animals are carnivores, when have you seen them eat fruit? From this I can conclude that these elephants are definitely not carnivores."

"Even if they are not carnivorous animals, these behemoths are very powerful driven by the rebels. We can't compete with them for a while. The rebels are not far away from here, maybe they will kill them tomorrow, when the time comes What can we resist?" Gan Ning asked.

Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle: "The enemy will be defeated tonight, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the time when the whole territory of Nanzhong will be pacified!"
