Chapter 443 What about the elephant soldiers, break it for me!
Beyond Li Xu.
Behind Mulu's elephant army, tens of thousands of Southern Barbarian coalition troops led by Meng Huo were following behind the elephant army, slowly heading north.
"The Xiang soldiers are invincible in the world. Yi is here. First of all, I would like to congratulate the king on winning this battle and taking Chengdu directly."
On the horse next to him, Sima Yi cupped his hands and congratulated him, as if this victory was a certainty for the barbarian army.
Earlier, Sima Yi had sent his brother Sima Lang to Meng Huo's tent to lobby. Sima Lang had already praised his younger brother to great effect in front of Meng Huo.
Although Meng Huo was a barbarian king, he had few clever people under his command. Hearing that Sima Yi was from a wealthy family in the Central Plains and that he was resourceful and unpredictable, he naturally admired him very much. As soon as Sima Yi came, he treated him as a guest of honor and joined the army to discuss ideas.
Hearing Sima Yi's congratulations, Meng Huo burst into laughter and was extremely proud.
"After killing the Qi army in this battle, my king's army marched straight to Chengdu. I heard that Chengdu has countless treasures and endless women. After entering the city, you can plunder them at will."
Meng Huo, who was determined to win, had already promised rewards to his barbarian soldiers in advance.
When the order was passed, the barbarian soldiers were all excited and shouting with excitement.
Meng Huo turned his attention to Sima Yi again and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhongda, if I capture Chengdu, your contribution will be considerable. If you want any reward, just tell me."
"Yi doesn't want anything, he just wants Yuan Fang's head." Sima Yi said firmly.
Meng Huo couldn't help but wonder: "This Yuan Fang, how did he offend Mr. Zhongda? Why do you hate him so much?"
Sima Yi showed hatred on his face and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This Yuan Fang is despicable and cruel. He has harmed the people everywhere in the Central Plains. It has reached the point where both heaven and man are angry. I, Sima Yi,
He just didn't want to serve as an official and feed the common people for him, so he robbed my fiancée. He also hunted me so much that my Sima family left their hometown and fled everywhere. The king said, can I not take his head?"
What Sima Yi said clearly seemed to confuse right and wrong. Sima Lang, who was beside him, was listening with a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he couldn't express it.
Meng Huo listened, but nodded repeatedly and said angrily: "I didn't expect that this Yuan Fang is so despicable and shameless. It seems that this king is sending troops to do justice for heaven, to uphold justice for you Han'er, and to avenge you Sima Zhongda.
I feel so sorry."
"What the king said is very true." Sima Yi quickly agreed and said: "This Yuan Fang not only harmed us Han people, but also massacred our friends and neighbors like the Xiongnu and Xiqiang. To put it bluntly, if the king doesn't first
Take action. The Yuan thieves will invade Nanzhong sooner or later, and I don't know how many of the king's people will be slaughtered by then."
"This is happening!"
Meng Huo believed it to be true, and immediately became furious and cursed: "This thief Yuan is really inhumane. He actually wants to destroy our southerners. It is really hateful. With my order, the army rolled up and killed Yuan Fang."
He and his lackeys will kill every one of them for me!"
Orders were passed down from level to level. The barbarian army was as ferocious as beasts, ready to massacre.
An imperceptible sneer flashed across the corner of Sima Yi's mouth.
Meng Huo urged his troops forward, but the two Sima brothers were slightly behind.
Sima Lang saw that his left and right ears and eyes were far apart, so he lowered his voice and said: "Zhongda, although that Yuan thief is hateful, what you just said was a bit too much. If nothing else, Yuan Fang killed the Xiongnu and Xiqiang.
Every time, it was because the Hu people invaded first, that he redoubled his counterattack. Besides, the Hu Yi people have a habit of burning, killing and looting, so they are not really friendly neighbors."
Sima Yi snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or false. As long as the Nanman can help us destroy Yuan Fang, they are our Sima family's friends. Brother, when a man acts, what matters is the result, the process, etc.
Why bother, don't be too pedantic."
Sima Lang's heart was shocked, as if he had suddenly become enlightened, and nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
At the front military station, the war elephant army commanded by King Mulu had already approached the Qi army at a distance of 400 steps.
This distance is enough to launch a charge.
Looking at the black wall of war elephants, Yuan Fang had to admit that this was the strangest and most terrifying army he had seen in his life.
He knew very well that in front of that giant elephant, any superb martial arts seemed so fragile and powerless.
Even if he has reached the advanced stage of martial arts training, or even Lu Bu here, facing a giant elephant, he will be unable to do anything, and the little soldier on the giant elephant whose name is not even known may even kill you easily.
No matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than a war elephant?
"Manpower is limited after all. The body of the Martial Saint is already at its limit. Is it really impossible to overcome the Martial Saint's limit barrier..."
While he was thinking, the enemy army was approaching, so Yuan Fang restrained his mind.
"Zhengfang, the success or failure of this battle depends on you." Yuan Fang glanced at Li Yan beside him.
Li Yan was confident and calm, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Yan has been dormant for many years just to become famous in today's battle. I will never let Your Majesty down."
Yuan Fang nodded slightly, indicating that he could start.
Li Yan held up his hand and galloped straight to the front of the formation.
Arriving in front of the formation, Li Yan immediately issued an order and ordered hundreds of soldiers to slowly push the huge monsters covered with cloth into the front of the formation.
In the distance, King Mulu clearly saw the movements of the Qi army. He knew that the mysterious thing in front of the Qi army's formation was probably a war elephant used to deal with him.
But King Mulu sneered with great disdain. He simply did not believe that anything in this world could stop his war elephant army from advancing and crushing them.
"Attack the entire army, crush the enemy troops, capture Guangdu, and take the city of Chengdu directly -" King Mulu roared angrily, waving his steel fork, and gave the order.
Wuwuwu~~
In the barbarian army's formation, a ferocious ghost-like horn sound was immediately emitted, a sound like the roar of an elephant.
Thousands of stationed elephants neighed and began to trot toward the Qi army's formation, raising their tusks and thick legs.
Every time those giant beasts took a step, they would make a small hole in the ground. Thousands of elephants were running at the same time. The power they exerted was simply unprecedented.
The earth is trembling and the mountains are shaking.
The rumbling vibrations came from far to near, and shocked the hearts of the Qi army soldiers through their legs.
Every soldier's face could not restrain the expression of horror. These soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles actually felt the fear they had not seen for a long time when facing the most powerful animal army in the world.
Although they were afraid, no one took a step without permission. Everyone held their weapons tightly and held on to their positions.
Because they believe that since they have defeated the King of Qi in every battle, and since they have the courage to fight, they must be sure of victory.
Even if the giant elephant tramples them into flesh, they will rather die than retreat!
The sky changes color.
The running speed of war elephants is not as fast as that of war horses. But it is still quite amazing. In just a moment, they can run a hundred steps away.
In the Qi army's formation, the crossbowmen began to fire arrows, but the rain of arrows hit the thick bone armor of the war elephant, but it was like scratching an itch. It did not cause any damage at all.
The war elephant was still running wildly, approaching quickly.
The time has come.
At the front of the formation, Li Yan raised his sword and shouted: "Show me all our weapons to defeat the enemy."
The order was passed, and the soldiers worked together to lift up the black cloth covering the giant buildings.
The divine thing hidden underneath finally revealed its true face.
All the soldiers of the Qi army were surprised.
The giant thing was not what they had guessed before. The weapons, such as the Thunderbolt Car, were actually wooden fake beasts.
These huge fake beasts are all painted with wood carvings, with five-color wool as the skin, and steel as the claws. When you look at them up close, you know they are real or fake, but when you look at them from a distance, they are very scary.
The appearance of this giant beast not only surprised the soldiers of the Qi army, but also surprised and puzzled the barbarian elephant soldiers who were rushing towards it.
Just when everyone was suspicious and surprised, Li Yan shouted again: "Big beast, set fire -"
When the order was given again, the soldiers responsible for operating the giant beast immediately started moving and lit the fireworks hidden in the mouth of the giant beast.
In an instant, dozens of "giant beasts", all breathing flames from their mouths, snorting black smoke from their noses, and shaking copper bells, were pushed by the Qi soldiers and "bared their teeth and claws" towards the oncoming war elephants.
Thousands of war elephants, who were invincible and fearless of both heaven and earth, were all frightened by the fake beast on the other side that breathed fire from its mouth.
Thousands of frightened war elephants, not caring about their master's driving, stopped one after another, turned around and ran backwards screaming.
King Mulu was frightened, the elephant soldiers were frightened, and even the soldiers of the Qi army who were originally worried were stunned at this moment.
No one on either side of us, the enemy, thought that those seemingly invincible war elephants would be frightened and collapsed by a group of disguised fake beasts.
"Li Yan, you really didn't disappoint me. You are such a talented general that I received so much value from you."
Yuan Fang murmured to himself, but an excited sneer appeared on Yingwu's face.
Almost all animals are afraid of fire. This iron rule is true from ancient times to the present. The fake beast disguised by Li Yan is not the key. The key is that the flames spit out by the fake beast are the key to the collapse of the elephant herd.
In fact, Yuan Fang was previously thinking about whether he could use the legendary method of using mice to scare elephants, but Li Yan said that such a giant elephant is not afraid of mice at all. The so-called mouse can drill into the elephant's nostril.
It's just human imagination.
The fire-breathing fake beasts advanced, and the war elephants screamed in terror. The frightened elephants just turned around and fled. They lost their formation, leaving only the animal's instinct to escape.
The jostling began, and countless elephants were knocked to the ground by their companions. The elephant soldiers of the barbarian army were thrown off the elephants' backs. In the blink of an eye, they were trampled to the ground by countless pairs of elephants' huge legs.
Worse than mud
The screams of the barbarian soldiers and the frightened sounds of the elephants were so tragic that they echoed between heaven and earth.
The officers and soldiers of the Qi army who were watching the battle recovered from their shock. In an instant, they were full of fighting spirit, brandishing their weapons and making cheers like a mountain falling apart.
What are you waiting for.
