Gao pressed and led the troops out of the city to meet the barbarian generals, but suffered a big defeat, in a panic, he led the remnants of the defeated generals to retreat into the city, the armor was crooked, and he looked embarrassed.

Xiao Ding returned to the county hall and saw that everyone was sitting in the hall with their heads down. In addition to the Han brothers, the generals from the Gao family, the Luo family, and the Yue family also came to face the barbarian generals today, and they all returned defeated. Although the Yang family sisters and brothers did not go out of the city to fight, their martial arts were not much different from the martial arts of several other juniors. They know that even if they play, most of them will fail.

At this time, because of the big defeat in the battle, Gao Xuannei no longer had the spirit of the past, like a frosted eggplant, sitting silently on the side, not daring to look at Xiao Ding. The four or five attendants behind him were still standing behind him in a pretentious manner, all of them full of spirit.

Xiao Ding did not intend to hold Gao Zun accountable for the defeat. Because, he felt that if he led his troops to fight today, it should be difficult to win.

After all, the appearance of the other party's elephant soldiers was too surprising.

If you don't have enough preparation on your side, it will be difficult to beat the opponent's elephant soldiers.

In fact, the main reason for the defeat of today's battle should be traced to the scouts. Because of the rain for days and the laziness of the scouts, they did not find out the reality of the barbarians in time.

If you can't know yourself and your opponent, it is inevitable that you will lose the battle.

Therefore, for the leader Gao Jinnei, his responsibility is not too big. Whoever leads the team today will be difficult to win.

Gao Quannei originally wanted to strive for a meritorious service, but he didn't expect that he should be unlucky, and he didn't make a meritorious service, but gave him a demerit. Naturally, his mood was not happy.

Xiao Ding glanced at the generals and found that except for the Han brothers, who were not present, almost all the other generals were present.

So, Xiao Ding asked the generals how to crack the opponent's elephant soldiers?

Today's defeat is a very serious blow to the morale of the generals, most of them are new juniors of the palace, who have not been on the battlefield before, and this time they were recommended by several princes to come to the battlefield to experience. I have been winning battles with Xiao Ding before, and I have never encountered any powerful opponents, and I have fought against several generals of the king of Jiaozhou, but I have not made much effort. Therefore, they once thought that they were invincible on the battlefield, and they inevitably had a little pride in their hearts.

But in today's battle, against the barbarian generals, they immediately felt powerless. The other barbarian generals can't help but be superhuman, and their martial arts are also good. Even if they use all their martial arts, it will always be difficult to win.

Then, the appearance of the other elephant soldier surprised them even more. For the people of the Great Song Dynasty who grew up in the mainland, how could they have ever seen such a sacred thing as an elephant?

In their eyes, this huge, long-nosed behemoth must be a strange horse, otherwise how could the brutes ride them into battle?

This kind of soldier who rides an elephant to fight, these generals are helpless, the blade in his hand hits the past, the opponent's elephant trunk flicks, the general's blade can be easily snatched over, and then the soldier on the elephant's back uses weapons to attack, and his side is completely defenseless.

This time, these generals realized the truth that "there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky". It also made them realize the truth that "the world is so big that there are no surprises".

When Xiao Ding said that the name of the huge "horse" ridden by the other barbarian was called an elephant, they suddenly realized that this was the legendary elephant!

As a result, everyone admired Xiao Ding's erudition even more.

But when they heard Xiao Ding asking how to crack the other party's elephant soldiers, they were all speechless. For those of them who saw elephants for the first time, it was a bit difficult for them to come up with a way to crack it.

As soon as Xiao Ding saw everyone's expressions, he knew that they definitely couldn't come up with any good ideas.

It seems that you still have to use your own brains more in this matter.

At this time, Yang Yueling suddenly opened her mouth on the side and said: "Cockroach crawling deputy marshal, I was at the head of the city just now, and I saw those elephants on the other side, although the skin is thick, but it is also difficult to resist our crossbow carts. We can use the ballista against their elephants! ”

"No, I can see clearly in front of the formation, the opposing barbarians are holding rattan shields, which can block our army's crossbow carts. Moreover, most of their brute soldiers are wearing rattan armor, which is very tough and invulnerable. With the cover of rattan shields and rattan armor, our army's crossbow arrows pose little threat to the other side. Even if the spears and crossbows of our army's crossbow vehicles shoot through the opponent's rattan shield, most of them will be stuck on the shield, even if they are not stuck on the shield, after passing through, the strength is already much smaller, and the elephant's skin is rough and thick, and if it hits the body, it will not be able to hurt them. Gao Hongxiu, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth. He went to the front of the two armies, so he could see clearly.

Xiao Ding nodded, and when he heard Gao Hongxiu mention the words rattan shield and rattan armor, he suddenly remembered the story of Zhuge Liang burning Meng Shou's rattan armor soldiers before he crossed over. The vine armor described in the is born in the mountain forests of the southwest region, coiled on the stone wall, after the rattan armor is braided, soaked in oil, taken out and dried after half a year, and then soaked in oil after drying, repeated many times, so invulnerable.

Xiao Ding didn't know if the rattan armor and rattan shield he saw today were the same thing or the same production method as the rattan armor described in the barbarian soldiers on the other side.

However, it doesn't matter, because as long as it is made of vines, it will definitely be afraid of fire.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang ordered Wei Yan to lead the troops, and within half a month, he was defeated fifteen times in a row, and introduced the Southern Barbarian Army into the Snake Valley, and then used black oil tank trucks and a large amount of gunpowder to burn all the opponent's vine armor army in the Snake Valley.

And now, he has neither a large amount of gunpowder and black oil tank trucks, nor the terrain like Snake Valley to lure the other party into being fooled. Therefore, it is still a little difficult to imitate Zhuge Liang's strategy.

However, Xiao Ding is a person who is good at being flexible, and since he can't completely imitate it, it's okay to adapt it according to his actual situation.

Of course, the method of burning with fire is completely acceptable, but as for how to use this method of burning, it needs to be carefully considered.

So, Xiao Ding entered into contemplation, he was thinking, how to burn the other party's elephant soldiers?
