Chapter 658: The Most Terrifying Impact in the World
The potters knew that although the elephant soldiers were huge, they were quite slow to move, so they took the initiative to retreat to delay the date of the confrontation with the elephant soldiers and buy enough time for the horse reinforcements. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the same time, in order to further delay the advance of the elephant soldiers, the potter ordered Fan Hao and other generals to dig trenches along the way and destroy the road on the way to retreat, so as to act as an obstacle to the advance of the elephant soldiers.
The potter's initiative to withdraw his troops also made Meng Shu's self-confidence burst, thinking that the potter was afraid of the strength of his elephant soldiers, so he had to withdraw his troops in fear.
As a result, the confidence exploded, and Meng Shu, who was full of pride, was even more unscrupulous, and ordered the entire army of the Southern Barbarians to pursue the Wei army all the way and march in the direction of Jiangzhou.
Ten days later, the army of potters retreated to the Jiangzhou line.
Jiangzhou is the first important town in the east of Shu Kingdom, if this city falls, all the hardships of the invasion of the pottery merchants, will be all paid to Zhu Dongliu, he has no way to retreat.
At this time, the tens of thousands of troops in Houxu had already arrived in Jiangzhou, and the nearly 150,000 troops of Wei had gathered on the front line of Jiangzhou.
The pottery merchant then ordered the troops to stop retreating, set up camp on the front line of Jiangzhou City, and repair the barriers, so as to put on a posture of sticking to Jiangzhou and never taking a step back.
A few days later, Meng Shu took the elephant soldiers as the front, led nearly 30,000 barbarian troops, and approached ten miles west of Jiangzhou City.
At this time, Meng Shu had received information that the Wei army on the front line of Jiangzhou had 150,000 people, which was five times the number of his barbarian army.
Such a gap in the number of annihilations, if it was placed in normal times, would definitely make Meng Huo gasp, frightened to turn around and flee without saying a word.
But now, with the War Elephant Legion, which is almost invincible, Meng Shu is so arrogant that he doesn't take the 150,000 army of the potters in his eyes at all.
Mo said that it was 150,000 Wei troops, even if it was a million people, in his eyes, they were just ants, and they were crushed by his war elephant legion.
At this time, Meng Shu already regretted surrendering to Liu Zhang, so he thought that if he waited a few more days, and waited until Mulu led the war elephant army to the front line of Zhuti, I am afraid that the party that surrendered at that time, even if he became Liu Zhang, he could easily take the entire Yizhou, and he also had the addiction of being the king of Shu.
"That's it, it's useless to regret it now, and I drove away the potter's kid, and then go back and clean up Liu Zhang......"
Meng Shu sneered, and immediately ordered a book to be repaired and sent to the potter, challenging the potter in an extremely provocative and humiliating tone.
……
West Gate of Jiangzhou.
At the head of the city, the potters stood like iron towers, eagles with eagle eyes like lightning, staring in the direction of the barbarian camp to the west.
Standing here, the potter could clearly see that in the enemy camp, the huge war elephants were moving slowly, as if they were showing off their might to him.
What he held in his hand was Meng Huo's extremely rampant war book.
To tell the truth, it was a rather annoying war letter, and the Meng Shu in the book was so rampant and humiliating that it was enough to make him angry.
However, the potter still held back, of course he knew that Meng Huo was using the method of agitation, and wanted to deliberately lure himself into battle.
It was necessary to go to war, but not today, he had to wait for the horse reinforcements to break the enemy, and it was ready.
"Meng Huo, this king can see that you can still be arrogant for a few days......" The pottery merchant smiled coldly and tore the war book into pieces and threw it in the wind.
At this time, Ma Yuan climbed up to the top of the city in a hurry, panting and excitedly: "King, the ministers are ready to fight." ”
So fast!
The potter's eyes lit up, he thought that it would take at least three or five days for Ma Yuan to be ready, but he didn't expect him to move so fast, exceeding his expectations.
Since this is the case, there is no need to endure it any longer, and it is time to clean up Meng Shu.
With a wild laugh, the potter flicked his hands and shouted: "Pass the order, tomorrow the whole army will be exhausted, and this king will destroy the barbarian army in one fell swoop!" ”
……
The next day, in the afternoon.
The clouds overhead were thick, and the heavens and the earth were slaughtered.
In the west of Jiangzhou City, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers successively drove out from Jiangzhou City and from various camps outside the city, like a trickle, converging towards the west of the city, and finally integrated the art of war.
The 150,000 Wei troops were all out of the battle, hundreds of large and small army formations, stretching for ten miles, with no end in sight, and the black pressure was boundless, like an overwhelming cloud.
Among the hundreds of clouds, there are more than 100 huge things, all covered with black cloth, revealing a trace of mystery.
Under the banner of the king of the Chinese army's "Wei", the potter immediately crossed the knife, like a green pine standing proudly, up and down his body, as always, exuding the spirit of a king who dominates the world.
In the field of vision, all the armies gathered, all the generals were in full view, and the key generals and horses were by their side.
The ground under his feet began to tremble slightly, and the officers and men of the three armies immediately tensed their nerves.
The potter's eagle eyes swept in the direction of the west, only to see that at the end of the field of vision, a torrent of black clouds was rolling towards the ground, kicking up the dust in the sky.
In the dust and mist, the figures of tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers are moving, and there is a faint figure of a behemoth, which is disappearing from time to time.
Everyone knows that it is the figure of the legendary war elephant.
The Wei army, from the top to the general, down to the small soldiers, was immediately nervous, even if it was a potter, and his heartbeat began to speed up slightly.
After all, even the most knowledgeable person is the first time in his life that he will face such a divine weapon as a war elephant, and the mystery and strong curiosity will make no one feel calm.
The fog of law was approaching, and finally, the terrifying figure of the War Elephant Legion completely crashed into the field of vision of the Wei soldiers.
Everyone couldn't restrain it, and almost instinctively took a cool breath.
In their field of vision, the war elephants that were as huge as a mountain, covered with thick heavy armor, and had long sharp white fangs, finally crashed into their eyes.
Although the number of war elephants is only about 500, they cover a wide area due to their huge size, large size and long enough distance from each other.
Looking from the front, the five hundred war elephants seem to form a moving Great Wall, towards the location of the Wei army, rolling forward, giving people an unstoppable momentum.
When I looked closely, I saw that on the backs of the more than 500 war elephants, a barbarian crossbowman and spearman, was waving the weapons in his hands, roaring and screaming, all of them were extremely hideous.
And on the war elephant covered with golden heavy armor, Mu Lu held an iron fork in his hand, and looked down at the Wei army in front of him with a sneering and an ant-like gaze.
As far as the eye can see, the Wei army is dense, layered, and there is no end in sight, and the number is at least hundreds of thousands.
Such a huge number of troops is something Mulu has never seen in his life, and he can't even dream of it, almost like an astronomical existence.
On Mulu's ugly face, there was no trace of jealousy, only a hideous sneer and endless contempt.
It seems that the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops in front of him, in his eyes, are just the existence of ants, although there are many of them, how can they resist the step of his elephant.
Mulu did not hesitate for a moment, waving an iron fork in his hand, and ordered his war elephant army to continue to approach forward.
Behind the thousands of elephant soldiers in Mulu, the 30,000-foot cavalry army of the barbarian army followed closely behind the elephants' butts and advanced all the way in the direction of the Wei army.
Meng Huo, who was riding a horse and carrying a knife, only had four words written on his face:
Ambition is bound to win!
"The pottery thief is not self-sufficient, he really dares to fight a decisive battle with us, very good, let the war elephant legion crush the hundreds of thousands of pottery thieves in one fell swoop, seize Jiangzhou, and completely drive Wei Gou out of Yizhou." Meng Shu waved his sword and let out bold words.
As if, there is no suspense in this victory.
"Long live the Great Boss—"
"Long live the elephant army—"
"Kill all the Wei dogs—"
"Kill the potter—"
In the Southern Barbarian Army, a beast-like roar sounded, and 30,000 Southern Barbarian soldiers screamed excitedly, and their morale was extremely high.
Not far away, Wu Yi looked at the morale of the vast barbarian army, looked at the elephant herd army like the Great Wall of steel, and a deep confidence appeared in his eyes, and he sighed with a smile: "This war elephant army is really invincible, it seems that the barbarian army will win this battle, and the army of hundreds of thousands of pottery thieves will be broken, and they will finally be driven out of our Dashu country." ”
Even Wu Yi is full of confidence in the soldiers at this moment.
"There is naturally no suspense about the capture of the elephant soldiers, but ......" Li Hui nodded first, then lowered his voice and sighed lightly: "It's just that this elephant soldier is so good, Meng obtains such a divine soldier, and his ambition will definitely increase, but I am afraid that after driving away the pottery thief, it will become a big trouble for me." ”
Wu Yi glanced left and right, but said: "In order to repel the great enemy of the potters first, I can only take this risk, but I have sent people to report to the king, telling the king to prepare early, just wait for the Wei soldiers to retreat, immediately send troops to seize Jiangyang City, cut off the barbarian army's grain route, and then cooperate with the king to attack inside and outside, and destroy the barbarian army in one fell swoop." ”
"Brother Wu still has foresight, so I'm relieved." Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and looked ahead with a sneer, "Then let's relax first and appreciate how the invincible King of Great Wei was defeated at the feet of the War Elephant Legion." ”
Bang bang bang!
The elephant army marched with heavy steps, still in a mighty way, advancing like a moving mountain, and the forward approached more than 300 steps of the Wei army in a blink of an eye.
From such a close distance, the whole herd looks even taller, and it looks like a giant tower in front of you.
Even though the potter was confident, he couldn't help but secretly clench the handle of the knife in his hand, his heartbeat quietly accelerated, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "This war elephant is really a tank in the era of cold weapons, and the strength of human beings is really small in front of it, even if a half-step martial saint like Xiang Yu and Lu Bu is here, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the war elephant from rushing." ”
After sighing, the potter's expectant eyes looked at Ma Yuan, and he didn't say a word, just nodded to him.
Ma Yuan was also silent, and responded to the potter's trusting gaze with a firm look, and then rode away to the direction of the formation.
Ma Yuan rode his horse to the formation, came to those mysterious giants, raised his sword and shouted: "The enemy elephant is near, push our enemy-destroying weapon to the front of the formation." ”
When the order was handed down, the thousands of soldiers who were in charge of it immediately got busy, driving the mules and horses to push the mysterious giants to the front of the battle.
The Wei army's formation slowly cracked, and more than 100 huge objects covered by black cloth were pushed to the front of the formation, causing a small movement in the war elephant legion.
On top of the giant elephant, Mu Lu saw the changes in the Wei army's military formation clearly, he was not stupid, and vaguely guessed that these mysterious giants of the Wei army should be used to deal with his elephant army.
"It's nothing more than a heavy ballista or something, but unfortunately, Wei Gou doesn't know how thick the leather armor of my war elephant is, and no weapon can fight endlessly, potter, any struggle of yours is in vain, hahaha-"
In the midst of wild laughter, Mulu did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and shouted arrogantly: "My war elephant army, my courage, continue to roll down, let our giant elephants, step on the ant-like enemy, give it to me!" ”
Woo woo woo -
In the barbarian army, the eerie and terrifying sound of horns rose into the sky, which was terrifying.
Driven by the barbarians, the five hundred war elephants also let out a "whine" cry and began to speed up, like tanks, rushing towards the Wei army's formation.
