Chapter 470: Crossing the Sea without Concealing the Sky
More than half of the elephant soldiers decided to believe, and almost half of them were also encouraged by the high salary in the future, so the morale of the whole elephant army was greatly boosted!
The great difference is that now people are not elephants carrying elephants to where they go, although nominally they are in charge of war elephants, but now they know what to fight for, and thus they become people commanding elephants and going to their intended goal.
As for these war elephants, the changes are even greater.
Just now, the clouded leopard not only taught them basic battle formation skills, but also taught them about their relationship with people, especially with gods.
The main test of whether their relationship with God is normal is to see their relationship with people, so these war elephants are no longer the same as before, just blindly obeying their masters, and have no concept of right or wrong.
Now they know what their fundamental purpose is, that they should have the purpose of glorifying God, and that their essence of helping people is to help them glorify God.
It can be said that with the guidance of clouded leopards, they have undergone a fundamental change and become new elephants.
People are newcomers, elephants are new elephants, and the comprehensive strength of the entire Vientiane army has suddenly increased by several levels!
The elephant soldier sitting on the back of the elephant king, named Su Faqin, was Su Fanu's cousin, and he was also the first to believe, and his mood could not help but be high when he saw that the elephant obeyed the command of the clouded leopard in an orderly manner, and he himself would be responsible for directing the actions of these war elephants in the future.
He felt that his mind was now more active than ever, and that all the experience and knowledge he had accumulated had become a living scene, floating before his eyes one scene after another.
Suddenly. He came up with a plan to capture Siam by surprise!
So, he said to Mai Ke: "Brother Mai, I have an idea about how to capture Siam effectively and quickly, would you like to listen to my ramblings?"
Mai Ke said: "There is time! But you are not verbose, but very valuable opinions! Now we will talk about what you want to say. ”
The two of them continued to hand over the war elephant to the clouded leopard for training, found an arrow tower on the city wall, and went inside to talk.
Su Faqin explained his idea to Mai Ke, and suggested that if this strategy was feasible. It's best to implement it right away. so as not to leak the message.
When Mai Ke heard his plan, his eyes lit up, and he felt that it was a very good battle idea; he continued to listen, and Su Faqin continued to introduce some details and arrangements.
Mai Ke couldn't help but sigh. This Su Faqin is really an excellent combat staff officer. These things are conceived. It's very practical, and with a little addition, it can be implemented immediately.
Thereupon. Mai Ke did not hesitate, and immediately adopted Su Faqin's suggestion, and did not delay for a second.
On the one hand, Mai Ke brought Shi Dakai and asked him to gather all the cavalry, about two thousand people, of which one thousand were in a team, and the other one thousand were divided into ten squads.
On the other hand, the Vientiane force was divided into two, half of which was divided into group A, half of group A was divided into one group, and the other half was divided into ten squads of 250 men each.
The other half is Group B, which is also separated from Group A, except that it is merged with the cavalry of the expeditionary force.
Half an hour later, Su Faqin led the elephant team of Group A to flee to the Siamese border of the old vortex in embarrassment, and shouted loudly while driving the elephants to run: "Guess the general, open the door quickly, then we will pass, the enemy will kill you!"
This general Chai Buzhao, whose full name is Chai Buzhao, is the commander of the border guards of Siam, and is also the de facto emperor of Lao Vortex in the subject country, he is very familiar with this elephant team and Su Faqin, and he also knows what happened to Lao Vortex, but he is not very clear about the current progress.
Although he is not optimistic about the combat strength of the Lao Vortex army, he is still quite confident in the Vientiane army, although there is not much hope for victory, it should not be a big problem to hold the Vientiane royal city and wait for the rescue of the Siamese army.
Now after listening to Su Faqin's shouting, Guess Buzhao's heart tightened, and he knew that things had changed, but he didn't suspect anything else, so he hurriedly came to the city gate tower and asked Su Faqin what happened.
"Guess the general! It's not good! We could have fended off the enemy, but suddenly half of the elephants defected to the enemy, and then led the enemy back to attack us! If we don't escape, they will be eaten by them! They are in pursuit, let us in, and I will tell the general about the details of the process later!"
Su Faqin spoke at a speed as fast as a bead, and explained the matter to General Chai according to the pre-arranged words.
Chai Buzhao originally believed in Su Faqin very much, but at this time he saw that there was dust in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of men and horses were coming, not only elephants, but also horses, and there seemed to be infantry in the distance, the situation was very urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered to open the gate and let Su Faqin and his elephants enter.
In order to meet these elephant soldiers and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the fire to rob, he released his garrison reserve and stuck between the elephant soldiers and the pursuers.
As soon as the pursuers behind saw the door open, they suddenly increased their speed, and in a blink of an eye, they collided with those border troops and started a fight.
Originally, these border soldiers were not the opponents of the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and the expeditionary force was a cavalry unit, whether it was a horse army or an elephant soldier, all of them were extraordinary in combat power.
The maximum they tried to do was to maintain some minimum order and not form a rout.
Originally, they still wanted to follow the elephant soldiers into the pass, but they didn't expect that the gate was blocked by several elephants, and they couldn't enter at all, and they didn't know what the reason was.
Now there is an obstacle in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and if you want to be defeated, you have to be defeated, so you have to flee in all directions in order to survive.
However, even such a small wish was difficult to come true, and it was too late for the rout, and the pursuers had already surrounded them on all sides and wrapped them all in dumplings.
Coincidentally, after the border army was completely annihilated, those elephant soldiers also happened to dredge the blockage and entered the gate, but before they could close it, the pursuers had already rushed into the pass, and quickly controlled the gate, and put all the troops behind the pass.
Hearing the loud noise coming from the closed door, General Chai Buzhao, who was accompanying Su Faqin, changed his face drastically, he had realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at his old friend.
Su Faqin knew that the overall situation was now decided, and there was no need to continue to disguise, so he shrugged his shoulders and said to him: "I'm sorry, old friend! I'm doing this, it's good for everyone, the victory of the expeditionary force is unstoppable, and the confrontation can only increase casualties, and you will know more about Lu Dao in the future, and you will definitely thank me for lying to you this time." ”
Guessing that Buzhao originally had the idea of escaping, he looked around, all of them were elephant soldiers, and he had never seen that kind of high-spirited situation, so he couldn't wait for him to make a little trouble, they were waiting to receive the reward!
He said in his heart, let alone use tactics, even if he really fights, he is not the opponent of these elephant soldiers at all, not to mention the even more terrifying expeditionary force that defeated the elephant soldiers.
So, he also confessed, and ordered all the soldiers guarding the gate to lay down their arms and stop resisting.
The expeditionary force broke through into Siam without bloodshed. (To be continued......)
