Chapter 569 The Legendary Elephant Soldier

At this time, Hua Wan has completely forgotten what dignity and shame are.

She was so hungry that there was only one word left in her mind:

eat.

She buried her head in the meat and wine room, devouring the food crazily, as if she could no longer feel what Yan Liangzheng was doing to her behind her.

Yan Liang, with his blood boiling, is like a lion, conquering his prey wantonly.

This small room was filled with boundless spring scenery in the blink of an eye.

The wind and rain are like darkness, and the thunder and lightning are coming.

When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, Yan Liang, who was dripping with joy, found that the barbaric woman in front of him was still devouring the food. She didn't even let go of the leftovers on the plate and devoured everything.

After all his anger was vented, Yan Liang laughed wildly, got up and walked away.

After a long time, Hua Wan finally stuffed all the food on the table into her belly.

She was completely freed from hunger and lay down on the ground panting heavily.

With her body regaining her strength, her mind gradually became clearer. It was only then that she remembered what Yan Liang had done to her just now.

Two lines of tears slipped quietly from her eyes, and there was a bit of bitterness and a bit of regret in Hua Wan's heart.

"Father, oh, father, you are so good, why did you raise an army to go against Yan Liang? You have caused great harm to your daughter..."

Hua Wan, who was lying on the ground, no longer dared to harbor resentment towards Yan Liang. All that was left in her heart was deep resentment towards her father, Meng Huo.



Dozens of miles away, the Shuyi Allied Forces camped.

Liu Zhang was stunned, Zhang Ren was stunned, and even Ma Chao, who came from Guanzhong and was extremely knowledgeable, had a look of astonishment on his face.

Because, in front of them, there were huge beasts passing by fiercely.

To be precise, they were elephants from Nanzhong.

There were no zoos in this era, and elephants were generally something that only princes and nobles could see. Even though Liu Zhang had been stationed in Yizhou for more than ten years, he had never seen an elephant from Nanzhong, let alone Ma Chao from Guanzhong in the north.

.

This time, they not only saw elephants, but thousands of giant elephants, slowly walking into the camp along the Minshui River.

The continuous herds of elephants are like moving mountains, and their momentum is extremely impressive.

But I saw that each elephant was fully armed, and there were two or three people sitting on it. One person was driving the elephant, one was holding a long weapon, and the other was carrying a bow and crossbow.

The entire elephant is a small mobile castle that integrates weapons from both far and near.

Such a huge army of elephant soldiers only saw Liu Zhang and his Shu soldiers, dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Meng Huo, on the other hand, was complacent, with a proud smile on his face.

Seeing the arrival of the elephant soldiers, the previous gloom on his face had been wiped away, and he was now arrogant again.

Half of the elephant soldiers had entered the camp, but they saw a huge elephant approaching Meng Huo, and a ferocious-looking Yi commander jumped off the elephant's back.

"My subordinate Mulu, please pay homage to the king." The ferocious-looking Yi commander knelt at Meng Huo's feet.

"Master of Mulu Cave, please get up quickly." Meng Huo laughed loudly and helped Mulu up with his own hands, "I have long heard that the master of the cave has a powerful elephant soldier. When I saw it today, it was indeed amazing. With the cave

The Lord's elephant soldiers, why should I, the king, be worried about his integrity?"

"Your Majesty, now that my subordinate has arrived, I will let him lead the elephant soldiers as the vanguard. The army will march directly to Nan'an. I will kill Yan Liang without leaving a single piece of armor behind." Mulu patted his chest, very confident.

Meng Huo was extremely excited and proud, and his fighting spirit was high. He immediately ordered the entire army to march north to Nan'an again the next morning.



A few days later, scouts rushed into Nan'an City and delivered the latest information on the barbarian army to Yan Liang's case.

At this time, Yan Liang was discussing with Fazheng and other generals about sending troops south.

This latest piece of information about the Southern Barbarian Army shocked everyone present.

"Elephant soldiers? I've heard that there is a giant beast named elephant in the legend of Nanzhong. I didn't expect that this elephant can go into battle?" said veteran Huang Zhongqi.

"There are many elephants in Nanzhong, and many tribes use elephants instead of horses. I have long heard that there are elephant soldiers in Nanzhong, but I have never seen them before." Fazheng, who has lived in Yizhou for a long time, does not know much about elephant soldiers.

Gan Ning said disdainfully: "So what about the elephant? I don't believe that thing can stop our strong bows and crossbows."

"Strong bows and crossbows are useless against soldiers." Fazheng shook his head and said, "The elephant itself has a very thick skin, which is comparable to a layer of natural heavy armor. The barbarians still covered the elephant with a layer of elephant bones.

With the bone armor made, even our ballistae may not be able to hurt the elephant."

Fazheng's words made all the generals present feel uproar and frightened.

The generals all know how powerful the ballista is. It can penetrate an iron shield and even penetrate two armored soldiers.

Today, this elephant cannot even be hurt by a ballista. Its defensive power is so terrifying that it is really shocking.

"Such a giant, it seems extremely difficult to deal with." Yan Liang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Everyone in the hall fell silent, even the resourceful Fazheng frowned, and for a moment it seemed difficult to think of a solution.

The lobby fell into silence.

At this moment, Zhou Cang walked in from outside the tent, cupped his hands and said: "To inform my lord, there is a man outside claiming to be Li Hui from Jianning, and he wants to see my lord."

Li Hui from Jianning?

A relatively familiar name appeared in Yan Liang's mind, and Yan Liang vaguely remembered that this person had made great contributions during Zhuge Liang's southern expedition. After the Nanzhong was pacified, Li Hui guarded Nanzhong for the Shu Kingdom all year round, ensuring the stability of the rear.

.

"Call him in." Yan Liang waved his hand.

Not long after, I saw a gentle young Confucian scholar walking into the lobby calmly.

"Li Hui of Jianning, I have admired the great Sima's reputation for a long time, and now I have come to defect to you, please accept the great Sima." Li Hui bowed his hands and went straight to the point, directly stating his intention to submit.

Yan Liang is now pacifying Nanyi, but he is worried that there is no one around him who is familiar with Nanzhong. Now that Li Hui has come back on his own initiative, it is like giving help in the snow.

Yan Liang was in a good mood, so he immediately came down the stairs and Li Hui helped him up, expressing his admiration and comfort.

The leader has been decided, Li Hui smiled again and said: "Hui Jin has come to submit to the lord. I have a gift to offer to the lord. I hope the lord will accept it."

Gift?

Looking at Li Hui's confident smile, Yan Liang vaguely guessed that the "gift" Li Hui mentioned was not that simple.

"I wonder what treasure De'ang gave to Gu?" Yan Liang became interested.

"When Hui came from the south, he heard that Meng Huo had mobilized Mulu's elephant soldiers to go north. Hui thought that although my lord was a master in using troops, he might not be able to come up with any good strategies for fighting the elephant soldiers for a while, so Hui came here especially for my lord.

Bring a plan to destroy the elephant soldiers."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Liang became very energetic, and all the civil and military officials including Fa Zheng in the hall were also greatly surprised.

"It turns out that Onder actually has a clever plan to destroy the elephant soldiers. You are really helping me in this desperate situation." Yan Liang said excitedly.

Li Hui said humbly: "Actually, it's not really a clever plan. It's just that Hui has been living in Nanzhong for a long time and has heard that there is an elephant army among the barbarians. He expected that if the Nanyi rebels one day, the elephant soldiers will be a big trouble, so Hui Hui came here without incident.

So I secretly figured out a way to deal with the elephant soldiers."

It seems that Li Hui is also quite far-sighted and has long expected that the barbarians will rebel sooner or later.

Yan Liang praised Li Hui and asked him how to defeat the elephant soldiers.

Li Hui then explained his plan in an awkward manner.

Everyone became more and more curious as they heard it, and everyone had strange looks on their faces, as if they thought this plan was too strange.

"Ande, will this method work?" Fazheng also expressed doubts.

"Don't worry Xiaozhi, Hui's family also has several elephants. I have tried this method many times and it is absolutely effective." Li Hui was very confident.

Yan Liang didn't hesitate much and said immediately: "Since De'ang is so confident, I will believe in you and follow your method."

"Thank you for your trust, lord." Li Hui thanked him and said, "It's just that this method still needs some preparation time. Now Meng Huo's elephant soldiers are on their way north and will reach Nan'an in a few days. It seems that this time

A little lacking.”

Yan Liang told Li Hui not to worry, he had his own way to delay the barbarian army's advance.

At that moment, Yan Liang sent out a military order, ordering Gan Ning to lead a force of troops to go south quickly and dig trenches on the main road where Meng Huo's army was advancing, in order to delay the enemy's advance.

Although Meng Huo's elephant soldiers were huge, their movements were slow and inconvenient. Whenever the barbarian army encountered a ditch, they had to stop and fill it up before they could drive the elephants through smoothly.

Gan Ning dug and retreated along the road. There were countless ditches dug along the road for forty or fifty miles. These obstacles slowed down the barbarian army's advance by at least half.

Meng Huo's army stopped and stopped all the way, and it took twice as long to reach seven miles south of Nan'an.

After setting up camp and setting up camp, Meng Huo immediately wrote an equally arrogant letter of challenge and sent people to Nan'an to challenge Yan Liang.

In Meng Huo's view, Yan's army dug ditches along the way, which just showed that they were afraid of their elephant soldiers.

The arrogant Meng Huo's idea was very simple: to destroy Yan Liang's main force in a single battle with his elephant soldiers, and then he could ride an elephant and push all the way to Chengdu.

Meng Huo even thought that if his elephants could adapt to the weather in the north, he would not only be able to capture Chengdu, but he could also push further north and let his elephants trample the Han people's world and take away the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Everything turned into his country of Dai Viet...

"Hahaha——" Meng Huo, who was standing on his horse looking away, couldn't help laughing loudly due to his excitement.

Just as Meng Huo laughed wildly, at the top of Nan'an City, Yan Liang had already received his arrogant letter of war.

Standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, Yan Liang could vaguely see the giant thing moving from head to head in the enemy camp.

Yan Liang had seen elephants in the zoo before, but this was the first time Yan Liang had seen such a spectacular sight with thousands of elephants gathering together at the same time.

This is still viewed from a distance. It is really hard to imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if viewed from a close distance.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Li Hui stepped into the city, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, everything to defeat the enemy has been prepared."

The time is just right.

Yan Liang threw the letter of war to the city with his lips, and said with a cold smile: "Since Meng Huo wants to play, then let's play with him. Send the order, and tomorrow the whole army will be sent out for a decisive battle!" (Unfinished)
