Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 419 The Death of Zuo Liangyu

"Brother Lin, look quickly, the elephant army is coming!" Xiaoying pointed to the distance with her little finger on the top of the city and reminded Yi.

In fact, Ji Dong's eyes have never left the battlefield, and with his super good eyesight and binoculars, he can see the most clearly.

It has been more than three hours since Zuo Liangyu went out of the city to lure the enemy, to when Liu Fangliang and Zuo Menggeng went out to support them. Lin Yi has always stood at the top of the city, paying close attention to the changes on the battlefield.

It is not easy for a general to command thousands of horses and thousands of troops to gallop across the battlefield. Not only does he need to be brave personally, but he also needs to be good at arranging troops. , adjust the strategy at any time according to the battlefield situation, because the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses must also change accordingly. It is not a clever strategy that can defeat the enemy. The most important thing is the specific application of the clever strategy. It is not easy to deal with Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo. It is even more difficult to lead out their elephant army to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Now Ji Dong has a deep understanding.Zuo Liangyu's reputation for being brave and good at fighting is well-deserved. The facts in front of him have proved that this team is indeed capable of defeating Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but he knows that the elephant army is Sun Kewang's trump card, just like a martial arts master fighting against others. He will definitely not use the exquisite martial arts until the critical moment, because ordinary moves can defeat the enemy, but once this kind of exquisite martial arts is used, it must be a one-hit kill.

Therefore, when Lin Yi saw that Zuo Liangyu was going to be unable to withstand it, he sent a support soldier in time. Of course, Zuo Liangyu's entire army could not be wiped out. !
Now this big crocodile finally appeared under the action of the bait, and Ji Dong and the soldiers on the top of the wall were all eyes.

Numerous elephants lined up neatly, turned out from behind Sun Kewang's men and horses, and moved forward like a giant chariot.
These war elephants are well-trained, of course they are all picked out. Their huge bodies weigh more than 6 tons, their body length is not less than 8 meters, and their height is more than 3 meters. The two ears are bigger than cattail fans.The white ivory is about 2 meters long, and the glowing white light makes people feel dizzy, and the long and big nose makes people dizzy.The four feet are like pillars, and the road looks like a ram. If the asphalt roads of later generations were bean curd dregs projects, these behemoths would probably be ruined after walking on them twice.

There are also saddles on these war elephants, and Burmese soldiers are sitting on them. They are in neat uniforms, and all of them hold spears over three feet in their hands.

Countless war elephants, led by the head elephant, rolled in like rough sea waves.

This kind of formation does not mean that the army is afraid, even Ji Dong, who is a traverser, took a breath of cold air.

Before crossing, Ji Dong had seen an elephant more than once, knowing that it was a kind of docile, clumsy and slow animal, but that was in a zoo, and Ji Dong had never seen a wild elephant at all, especially the elephant Cheng Junlin. Yi is the first time to see.

However, he has seen the mighty and majestic elephant army in movies and small TV shows, and it was in the late Ming Dynasty. It was a legend that happened to Li Dingguo, a famous general. He didn't expect him to be there today.

Ji Dong's eyes also straightened, because he knew that the critical moment had come...

Zuo Liangyu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Zuo Menggeng were chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy with their troops. Suddenly there was a loud roar, and countless war elephants rushed in, like a landslide, and the ground trembled.

"Retreat! Quickly retreat—" Zuo Liangyu and Liu Fangliang waited to see that they had finally achieved their goal. These things were too scary, so they quickly sent an order to retreat.

The retreat at this time was actually an order to escape, because Ji Yi had ordered them to flee once the Xiang army attacked, the more embarrassing the better.

But it's a good idea, but it's actually not that simple. When people see these huge monsters, they are scared, but the horses are still scared, even more scared than people, especially when these elephants come roaring, and the Ming army's horses have some Paralyzed by fright, the four hooves couldn't move even when they pulled and urinated. The soldiers on the horse were thrown down, and those who had horses were startled and ran around. As a result, people and horses ran as well. countless.Too bad, but worse is yet to come.

This scene made Lin Yi understand immediately, no wonder Li Yan and the others had lost many battles.

But in comparison, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi's thousands of troops are in a better situation. They are all one of the direct line troops that Lin Yi brought over this time, that is, the Xinming Army. So fierce, not even as good as the first batch of recruits, but much better physically than the old Ming army.

The reason is that they train frequently, and Jiong uses the military training thinking of later generations to guide their training. Long-distance training is one of them. It is common for them to run five kilometers and ten kilometers with weight. This method is used to train their endurance.

It came in handy today, these soldiers began to fight for their lives without horses, but the distance from the battlefield to the city gate was nearly [-] miles, which was enough for them to run once, so these Ming soldiers seemed to be chased by wolves Same, everywhere.

In the chaos, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were also thrown off their horses, but they were highly skilled in martial arts, and when they got up from the ground, they raced away with the soldiers under them.It's a novelty to be ordered to escape from the battlefield, so everyone is spared no effort at this time...

But Zuo Liangyu's men and horses showed a gap at this time. First, they fought for a long time. More importantly, they were the old Ming army, and their physical and military qualities were obviously inferior to the new Ming army brought by Liu Fangliang. , Let them flee in embarrassment and run for their lives.

Those who were knocked down by people, knocked over by horses, and those who fell from their horses and fell dizzy abounded. In the chaos, the war elephants arrived, and these soldiers will be even more miserable.

You don't need to fight too much, being stepped on by these giants will either kill you or break your bones. Many soldiers will be trampled bloody, like a fountain, one after another.

Some lucky ones struggled under the belly of these war elephants and among the four feet, and some rolled down from the tusks, but then the war elephants teased them, rolled them up with their long trunks and threw them high into the air. The soldiers seem to have grown wings. For a while, the soldiers will fly randomly in the sky, and some will still collide with each other in the air, and when they fall down, they will no longer have human shapes.

Some generals were pierced by the Burmese sitting on the elephant's back with spears as toads. Therefore, as the Burmese general Wen Ke said, almost no grass will grow once they pass by.

During the melee, Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shixiu also fell off their horses. Ma Shixiu was already injured, so it was difficult to get up when he fell to the ground this time. Immediately after that, countless horses and soldiers stepped on him, and the last elephant repaired him. With one kick, it was beyond recognition.

Zuo Liangyu didn't have the skills of Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi either. He passed out after falling off the frightened horse, but he was lucky. When he woke up again, the war elephant had passed.

But fortunately for him, his bad luck did not end.

Because behind the war elephant is the 10,000+ army of Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo, coming fiercely.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo are very happy now. Originally, they had a bad start today. They lost two games in a row. hurt.

But as soon as the war elephants were mobilized, everything changed. The Ming army, which was fierce and invincible just now, suddenly fled, and became defeated in the blink of an eye. Teacher) also fled without a fight, and the wolf rushed to the ground, it was simply vulnerable.

Therefore, Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo were overjoyed, thinking that the time had come for a full-scale charge, to collect and reorganize those defeated troops, join them together with their 11 soldiers and horses, destroy an army of 10,000+, and follow the war elephants to attack. The trend of seizing the city.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu had no bare hands and no horses. Now it is difficult to get up from the ground. Facing the overwhelming enemy army rushing towards him, there is no way to escape. Zuo Liangyu felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, a person limped over behind him...
