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

Chapter 421 Elephant Army vs Camel Cannon

"Brother Lin, you can't open the city, you should open the cannon!" Xiaoying saw that these war elephants were too powerful, as if they were mutants, invincible and invincible, the Ming army was defeated like a mountain, and they arrived near the moat in the blink of an eye , when she heard Liu Fangliang and others clamoring to open the city, she was so shocked that her face paled.

But looking at Ji Dong still with that calm expression, his face is full of resoluteness, but his mouth is slightly upturned, and he looks confident, more stable than Mount Tai, "Yinger, why did you say that? ?”

"Brother Lin, isn't this an obvious thing? Although Liu Fangliang and the others can enter the city at this time, these elephants will also rush in. There are thousands of horses and thousands of troops behind the elephants, and they will also rush in." In the city, it will be too late to close the city at that time, so wouldn’t it be broken? There are red cannons all over the city, aiming at these elephants fiercely can save Liu Fangliang.” Xiaoying said anxiously and burst into tears word.

Ji Dong listened and shook his head, "At this time, the city must be opened, and the cannons cannot be fired, because it is not yet time. Don't worry, the bandit army can't enter the city. Right Zhe Zhe?" Lin Yi said and looked at Zhe Zhe.

Every time when going to battle, Ji Dong would communicate with the beauties around him, and today is no exception.

Zhezhe seemed to understand Lin Yi's meaning, and said with a smile, "If you want to fire cannons, Brother Lin doesn't have to deploy camel cannons in the city, and you have to fire them long ago. The red cannons have such a long range, there is no need to wait." These war elephants are getting so close. At this time, firing cannons is not a good idea. But if Liu Fangliang and the others don’t open the city now, wouldn’t it be worthless for Liu Fangliang and others?”

Ji Dong smiled and nodded to her, "Those who know me, Zhe Zhe also."

Standing behind Ji Dong, Su Moer listened quietly, looking at the menacing war elephants below the city and the overwhelming enemy troops rushing behind the elephants, with a calm expression on his face.

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were still yelling by the moat with their people. In fact, they deliberately pretended to show the elephant army behind them. At this time, the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was wide open. , and then fled into the city in a hurry, but due to the narrow bridge and the large number of people, there were still many who were squeezed out of the river.That embarrassment is simply indescribable.

At this time, Sun Kewang, who was behind, could see clearly from the horse behind, and shouted at the horse as he rushed: "Quick, take the city gate! Charge in, take the city in one fell swoop, and those who kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed." No pardon!

In Sun Kewang's view, the city will soon be full of artillery fire, and they must race against time. If they can capture the city gate amidst the sound of artillery fire, they will be done.

But at this time, Sun Kewang didn't need to shout, and Xiang Jun wouldn't stop, because Wen Ke was a vanguard, and he was good at showing off to others, and he couldn't wait for this match.Today, he managed to let his elephant army show its might again. Sitting on the elephant, he destroyed the elephant army and killed the Ming army. It was a kind of enjoyment.

During this period, Wen Ke's mouth has already turned into [-], and secretly said, Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo, a pair of idiots, use me in the first battle, use me to win, but want to abolish this matter, as a result, several generals died, and how many people were injured Tens of thousands of horses, and then let my elephant army be dispatched, those people would be casualties in vain, why is this?fool!

Look at how powerful and invincible our war elephants are, as long as we enter the city today, the city is bound to be won!

Thinking like this, Wen Ke destroyed the war elephant, rushed forward, chased and wiped out the remnants of the Ming army, the more embarrassing the Ming army ran, the more comfortable he felt, and the happier he smiled on his face, so he just didn't think it was enough. When will you be willing to withdraw your troops?

"Come on! Get on the suspension bridge and attack the city!" He saw the Ming army swarming into the city like a swarm, the suspension bridge could not be pulled up, and the city gate could not be closed, because there were Ming troops fleeing everywhere, Wen Ke was even happier He ordered the war elephant to rush up the suspension bridge.

As long as his war elephants can rush in, it will save the siege of the city. The elephant army will continue to open the way in front, and Sun Kewang will lead the troops in behind. It's useless to talk about martial arts.

Under the leadership of the head elephant, the several war elephants rushing forward stepped on the suspension bridge with their huge bodies shaking.

Each of these huge monsters weighs six to seven tons, and there are people sitting on them, plus the weight of saddles, armor and spears, etc., it is conceivable how heavy and impactful several such war elephants will be when they rush up together.

The suspension bridge across the moat is made of wood and iron bars with rivets. It is quite strong. It can usually pass thousands of troops, but it is passed in a long line. Of course, such a suspension bridge has load-bearing restrictions and cannot withstand it The stomping charge of these behemoths.

So when these war elephants got on the suspension bridge, the ones in front just rushed to the middle of the bridge, and the moment they stepped on the back, they heard a click and the suspension bridge broke in the middle, and several war elephants on the bridge fell into the moat with a plop.

It's just that these war elephants are not as big as cattle and sheep, but each war elephant is as high as a floor. When one fell down, it was like falling into a high wall and fell into the moat. Almost, there was a plop, and the waves shook the sky.

And not one, but several war elephants fell into it one after another. This time, the deep moat was filled up, and the water splashed several feet high. Going down is easy, but getting out of the moat is simply astonishing.

But these war elephants were dishonest. They were frightened and angry when they fell from such a high place, so they tossed and tossed in the moat like a calf falling into a deep well.

In addition, there are not only war elephants in the moat at this time, but also people. Of course, these are foreign soldiers sitting on the war elephants. When the elephants fell, they even fell in with their spears. Some soldiers were killed by the elephants. Pressed below, they suffocated and died on the spot. Some competed with elephants in the river, and now the moat became lively.

The war elephants behind were also a little messy.Because the bridge was broken, they rushed here without passing, so these war elephants gathered more and more by the moat.

But they can only watch those Ming troops enter the city, because the wide and deep moat cannot be leaped by elephants.

"Yinger, how are you doing?" Lin Yi, who was standing at the top of the city, looked at the Xiang army below the city, and the waves splashed, and said to Xiaoying with a proud smile.

"So the mystery is here?" Xiaoying suddenly realized, "It's time for the camel artillery battle to leave the city!"

"Well, your daughter can be taught!" Lin Yi kept nodding his head, but he guessed it right once. Zhe Zhe, Su Mo'er, Gao Guiying and others covered their mouths and laughed...

Just when these elephant troops were at a loss and the moat was in full swing.In an instant, the Ming army inside and outside the city gate was not at all chaotic. Immediately after the sound of a cannon, the ambushing camel artillery team came out under the sway of Mobei Mongolian General Min Min Mutel, and they lined up neatly. Quickly rushed out of the city gate, and then the two dragons came out of the water and separated on both sides of the moat outside the city gate, standing in a row of long dragons by the moat.

These elephants and the Burmese soldiers sitting on them don't know what's going on. What is this?What is that on the shelf?His eyes widened in confusion. To these Burmese soldiers, the camel and the camel cannon undoubtedly met the South Pole at the North Pole.

Just when they were puzzled, countless Mongolian soldiers rushed out of the city gate. Four or five people were in charge of a camel and began to operate the camel cannon on it. Yes, and some are responsible for transporting shells and explosives.

At this time, the war elephants and the foreign soldiers with spears sitting on them felt something was wrong.Because they saw the black muzzle aiming at them, the clever war elephant and the soldiers on it quickly wiped the elephant and retreated. Those who were unresponsive, especially those who didn't know what was going on behind them, were still standing here stupidly. with.

When this elephant army was in turmoil.

"Fire!" Minmin Mutel gave the order, and the well-trained camel artillery team roared.

"Dong dong dong..."

Although the camel cannon is not as powerful as the red cannon, it can catch up with thousands of Francine machines.

Strong mobility and fast firing speed, especially suitable for close combat, are the advantages of the camel gun.Now the distance between the two sides is close enough, only a few feet apart the moat, which is no different from artillery fire, and the elephant target is so big, these camel soldiers can hit it accurately as long as they are not blind.

With the roar of the camel cannon, countless shells exploded in this group of war elephants.These giant war elephants are not afraid of cannons, but they are much more mobile than the red-clothed cannons in normal times, so the red-clothed cannons can't exert their power against them, but the sky is different.

Under the camel fire, these war elephants had nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, it was tantamount to beating!

Elephants were bombarded by shells and fell into a pool of blood. Some died on the spot, some were injured, and some were frightened. Therefore, after a few shots, the elephants fell into chaos.Not to mention the foreign soldiers sitting on it, they fell down one after another.

But a falling elephant is different from falling a horse. Falling from a galloping horse is usually miserable, but a falling elephant is even worse, because falling from such a tall elephant is almost like falling off a building. War elephants trampled like mud.

"Retreat, withdraw quickly!" General Wen Ke saw that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered.But it was too late at this time, how easy is it for so many war elephants to withdraw from the discussion?The elephants in front ran back, but the ones behind stood in their way, for these critters were too heavy and slow to move like war horses.

Moreover, these livestock quickly became disorganized and undisciplined after being bombarded, and no matter how trained they were, Wenk's command was not effective at this time. These livestock were wild and ran everywhere, rushing in disorder Colliding, trampling each other, countless casualties, roars and screams can be heard endlessly, making a mess.
