Chapter 82: Elephant Paws Are Delicious?
The soldiers were very shrewd, and the swinging trunks were not easy to aim, so they came up with a good way - to shoot the elephant's ears. (http; It is said that Liu Bei's ears were very large during the Three Kingdoms, so he was called a big ear. But how big can his ears be bigger than his face? The elephant ears are more than a human head, and the pair of big ears have no protection like the nose, so they are quietly exposed, and they are very easy to aim.
After some people succeeded, the rest of the people followed suit, and for a time they saw that the ears of countless war elephants were like arrow targets after shooting, and they were full of feathered arrows. Many archers and warriors were thrown down one after another, and the sword and axe men immediately stepped forward to chop the elephants into pulp, and they could not do much damage to the war elephants, and all their strength was used on these unfortunate eggs. After chopping, all kinds of short-handed weapons slashed at the soles of the war elephants.
I couldn't help but secretly say: "I heard that the bear's paw is good, but I don't know what the elephant's paw tastes like!" ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen war elephants rushed towards the small mound on which we were standing, and we were taken care of as important targets.
The surrounding soldiers hurriedly escorted An Boya and the others to retreat.
After firing the last arrow in the quiver, the war elephant also rushed up the mound. At this time, there were only me and Luo Rou on the mound, and all the rest of the people were evacuated. Luo Rou and I did a great job, and Long Xiangbu not only dodged the various killings of the war elephants, but also flexibly avoided the crossbow arrows fired by the archers.
After the war elephant rushed up the mountain, he did not fight with us, and chased after An Boya and the others. It seems that Amboya is their big target. I didn't get angry when I was despised, and teamed up with Luo Rou to pursue the dozen or so war elephants on foot.
Although the speed of the war elephant is fast, it is always inferior to the dragon steps of me and Luo Rou. The iron spear saw the butt of a war elephant and stabbed it hard, it seems that war elephants rarely turn their backs to the enemy, and the protection of the butt is not very sufficient, revealing a piece of the boss's fur. With my internal strength, the iron spear only pierced a few inches, and this guy can withstand two sets of armor with one skin.
The war elephant was in pain, let out a long cry, but ran faster, and the shooter did not pay attention and was thrown down at once. Luo Rou raised her gun and killed him.
I showed a wry smile, since the iron spear is not much lethality, it is better to give up, and the iron spear is shot at the crazy galloping war elephant, the iron spear is shot in the right leg, the war elephant's foot is painful, and it rushes out obliquely for more than ten zhang and falls, but it still wants to struggle to stand up, after some efforts to no avail, but the emperor is crushed into meat puree.
I had already drawn my invincible neck-leading sword and flew in pursuit, and Luo Rou followed closely behind me.
Maybe it's because I'm still thinking about the taste of the elephant's paw, and every time I drop my sword, I slash at the huge elephant's paw. Soon, three war elephants were cut off by me or fell to the ground with the soles of their feet cut off.
When I cut off the right hind foot of the fourth war elephant and dodged the elephant's body that fell like a hill, Luo Rou looked at me in amazement.
"Hey, hey! I haven't paid for the bear's paw, and I'll pay for the elephant's paw for a while! I laughed.
Luo Rou felt a chill, then pursed her lips and chuckled.
Although Luo Rou was not satisfied with my approach, she still followed me without stopping.
Soon, all these war elephants were cut down to the ground by me, and the guards and archers on them were all cut into flesh and blood by our soldiers if they were lucky enough not to die.
solved An Boya's crisis, and immediately led Luo Rou back to meet the enemy.
The golden-armored Ruan Weijia felt that I had injured more than a dozen of his war elephants, and he was furious, urging the war elephants to rush towards me.
An Boya praised him, and sure enough, he had some means. I pulled Luo Rou left and right to dodge his edge, and he could always urge the war elephant to rush the snow-white tusks at me. Being able to control a bulky war elephant is like riding a war horse, and his riding skills are really powerful.
As soon as he ate and drank, four war elephants suddenly came out and came from the left and right.
I was sure that I would take Luo Rou to dodge when the war elephant was in front of me, so I didn't rush to dodge, but Ruan Weijia had an ambush. My attention was already attracted by Ruan Weijia, and the four-headed war elephant came very suddenly, and I had no possibility of dodging at this time.
"Fight!" I said secretly, and suddenly pulled Luo Rou and flashed under the belly of the golden-armored war elephant, protecting her with my body. I know it's not very useful, and if we are trampled on by war elephants, it will be difficult for the two of us to survive. Let's just hope it doesn't step on us!
I lowered my head and kissed Luo Rou fiercely, I didn't want to take advantage, I just didn't want to have regrets, if I had to die, let us die sweetly!
Luo Rou obviously didn't expect me to be so bold, and stared at it with wide eyes and incredulity. Fortunately, it was dark when the two armies were killing, and others didn't have time to pay attention to us.
The cylindrical elephant's feet pressed against our heads, and immediately lifted them again, bringing up dirt on our faces.
I didn't have time to appreciate the sweetness of Luo Rou's lips, so I hurriedly admonished: "Be careful!" The man had turned over, grabbed the tail of the war elephant, pulled it down fiercely, and got on the elephant's back with a "Teng" sound.
Ruan Weijia was annoyed that he had lost my trace, and he didn't expect me to be behind him. The sound of "bump" was dropped by my foot. The war elephants were still galloping forward, and I, who had never been on an elephant before, was suddenly a little excited. It's a pity that I can't control it, this guy actually rushed towards our army, in order not to let myself be accidentally injured by our army, I had to sigh and jump down.
Sure enough, I came down wisely, and as soon as I gained my footing, dozens of arrows were fired at the war elephant. When it was young, it was hit by countless arrows in its ears and nose, and it fell to the ground with a roar.
Behind him, Luo Rou was unfolding the tiger penance and fighting with the iron spear in Ruan Weijia's hand.
This Ruan Weijia is full of brute strength, and his moves are hard and hard, although Luo Rou has exquisite marksmanship, but his strength is not enough, so he can only dodge with light skills and attack with gaps.
This is a war, but it is not a competition to win, and there is no constraint by the rules of martial arts. And I have never regarded myself as a person in the martial arts, which martial arts rules are a pile of cow to me. Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the neck sword and joined the battle group.
In the face of the joint attack of me and Luo Rou, no matter how strong Ruan Weijia's brute strength is, it is useless. When I stabbed the tiger with a move to cut off the iron spear in his hand, he was even more unbearable, and after a few moves, Luo Rou swept him in the chest with a shot.
Ruan Weijia couldn't get up in one breath, his eyes rolled and he fainted to the ground. I immediately called in a few soldiers to tie him up and escort him to the rear guard.
At this time, most of the elephant soldiers had been lost, and our army had also paid more than 10,000 casualties, and the bloody battle was still continuing. It's just that with the loss of troops and the capture of the commander, the enemy army is also afraid. After holding out for another quarter of an hour, the enemy troops, unable to fight any longer, surrendered one after another.
In just half an hour, the winner will be determined. Our army lost more than 7,000 casualties and 5,000 wounded, which was roughly the same as the enemy's casualties.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. The dead had no space to bury for the time being, and all of them were moved to a vacant lot by the West Lake for temporary placement, and the injured were quickly sent to the city for treatment. As for the surrender of troops, they will be bound by both sides and taken into Thang Long to imprison, so as to deter the restless elements in Thang Long - behold, your most elite elephant troops have also been defeated, what can you expect? Let's honestly prepare for the new king.
After being woken up by a basin of cold water, Nguyen Weijia was imprisoned with Lai Yat Tak. This is Ruan Weijia's most valued son, and with him in his hand, he has an extra hole card.
The sun shone lazily, and the bloody battlefield was devoid of dead bodies, wails, and the sound of soldiers, and a disgusting smell wafted from the blood-stained land.
The army is full of people who have experienced nine deaths and lives, and they are not very disgusted by these, and many people sit leisurely on the battlefield and look at the blood on the ground biting the dry food in their hands.
According to our estimates, four hours after the elephant soldiers arrived, Nguyen Zhaoqi's 100,000 troops should have arrived. After counting one casualty, the coalition forces only have 25,000 troops left, and the ratio of troops is 1 to 4, which means that we all know very well, now we just hope that Kang Yan will not disappoint us, and come sooner and sooner!
Who would have thought, people are not as good as heaven, I don't know if Kang Yan's speed of travel has increased, but Ruan Zhaoqi came quickly, and the arrival time was more than an hour earlier than we expected.
Although there are a large number of soldiers, they have run more than 200 miles in a day and a half on two legs, and the hardships can be imagined.
Nearly 100,000 enemy troops, infantry of one color. Although Ruan Zhaoqi's army of war elephants was annihilated in one fell swoop, he still had a large number of cavalry in his hands, why didn't these cavalry arrive? Could it be that their speed but the infantry can't keep up? The artillery also did not appear in the field of vision, the heavy cannon was not conducive to rapid maneuvering, and Ruan Zhaoqi would not be stupid enough to drag the artillery forward.
Looking at the scattered team in the distance, I said: "The army is not in order, the generals are tired, and the army has no fighting spirit, so we can take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and take the initiative to attack!" ”
Luo Zhendra said: "I agree, at this time the enemy army is arranging troops, our army can just take the opportunity to attack, if the enemy has finished the formation, with superior troops, strict formation to attack our army, our army is extremely unfavorable!" ”
"Yes, Song Xiangzhiren is very unkind to himself!" I said.
Amboya didn't have troops in hand, and he didn't have much to say in command of the battle, so it was up to me and Rajandra to decide the matter. Although Li Yide and Ruan Weijia were escorted behind, I am afraid that there is no chance to persuade Ruan Zhaoqi to surrender with them, the car in front of us is still there, and we can't fall down twice in a row in the same place, so everyone didn't mention the matter of persuasion.
Except for more than 2,000 lightly wounded people who stayed behind to protect Amboya, Razhendra and others, the rest were all under my command and attacked the enemy first.
The army had already rested enough, and at the sound of the order, it immediately opened its position, bypassed the dug pit and rushed to the enemy camp.
Ruan Zhaoqi had already anticipated what we were going to do when our army was assembled, and he desperately restrained his troops and lined up to prepare for the attack. However, his troops were too tired, and when they saw our troops coming from the attack, they were really powerless, and many of them were already afraid, and they could still form a formation there. I think Ruan Zhaoqi's mood at this time must be very rich.
