Chapter 381: The Great Elephant Breaker
Xiao Ding personally led his troops out of the city to meet the barbarian troops of the Vulturgia.
In the first two battles of the generals, Yang Yueling won, and in the third formation, the opponent's main general, Wu Tuya, personally went out and defeated Yang Yueling.
Then, Xiao Ding came on the field and played an evenly matched match with the vulture teeth.
In fact, most of these generals under Xiao Ding have never seen Xiao Ding's skills.
Since leading the troops to attack Jiaozhou, Xiao Ding has always played the role of behind-the-scenes commander, and he has basically assigned other generals to carry out the previous battles. Therefore, including many soldiers, today is the first time they have seen Xiao Ding's martial arts.
In fact, Xiao Ding's so-called martial arts are not real martial arts. There are no routines in his tricks at all, they are all free to fight as he wants.
Now that his exercises have reached the third level of qi training, his body is full of spiritual energy, and he is even more handy at using the mace.
In his opinion, the so-called martial arts are nothing more than hand-eye coordination, speed and strength, and if you play to the extreme, you can be invincible.
In fact, many martial arts routines are just shortcuts to some moves summarized by predecessors. The purpose of these shortcuts is nothing more than to maximize your strength and speed.
But once many things are in the program, there will inevitably be loopholes and flaws. Therefore, in Xiao Ding's opinion, his freewheeling style of play is the best martial arts.
You don't need to follow the routine to make moves and defend, you can change your moves at any time according to the situation, so that you won't be constrained.
What's more, he had learned the skills of hand-to-hand combat before crossing, as the saying goes, the world's martial arts are all in the world.
Many offensive and defensive principles are actually the same, and for a person like Xiaoding who is good at flexibility, it is not difficult to draw inferences.
Therefore, since he participated in the battle on the battlefield of Yongzhou, he has already honed a set of his own offensive and defensive methods. This kind of freewheeling play, whether on the horse or under the foot, he can now be handy and familiar with it.
In addition, now that his divine sense has been greatly improved, everything within a radius of a hundred zhang is covered by his divine sense, and he doesn't need to look with his eyes, he can sense whether the other party is making a move, and the way and where the move is coming and going are completely in his heart.
In this way, the advantages are immediately apparent.
At the beginning of the vulture teeth, with his exquisite martial arts and infinite strength, he could fight against Xiao Ding, and he could fight on a par.
However, after a long time, Xiao Ding's advantage was revealed, and with every move he made, Xiao Ding could fully grasp the landing point of his weapon route, and in addition, Xiao Ding's strength was slightly greater than him. The more the vulture teeth hit, the more strained they felt.
Every time the hammer in his hand touched Xiao Ding's mace, his arms were shocked and a little numb. Xiao Ding's elusive tricks also made him unable to find the rules of the routine at all, so he could only increase his vigilance ten thousand times to prevent Xiao Ding's surprise attack.
Gradually, he had fewer and fewer offensive moves and more and more defensive moves.
Xiao Ding saw his advantage, so he urged the spiritual power in his body even more, increasing the intensity of each attack, the sound of the two weapons colliding became louder and louder, and after connecting Xiao Ding with more than a dozen moves, he already felt that his arms could not lift the double hammer.
The fight has changed from attacking and defending each other at the beginning, to the current one-sided attack, and the other side defending alone. The clear-eyed generals have already seen the clues. So the voice of cheering for Xiao Ding became more high-pitched.
Just when the vulture felt that he was becoming more and more powerless, Xiao Ding smashed it on the head, and the vulture had no choice but to raise the hammer with both arms again to meet him.
Just listen to the loud sound of "dang", the sticks and hammers collide, and the sparks shoot in all directions. The vulture only felt that the top of his arms was like Mount Tai pressing down, which was worthy of holding this hammer.
Then the two horses staggered, and Xiao Ding slammed the mace towards the back of the vulture.
The vultures heard the strong wind behind him, and knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly raised his hammer to block behind him.
However, he parried the mace behind him, obviously unable to use all his strength.
As a result, his twin hammers were given directly to his own back by Xiao Ding's iron hammer.
The barbarian generals do not wear rattan armor like the barbarians, and the barbarian generals wear what looks like some kind of animal fur, which has a certain toughness and strength, and ordinary bows and arrows are not easy to shoot into, and ordinary swords are also difficult to cut. But for Xiao Ding's mace, its defense is a little lower.
If the vulture is wearing armor made of copper and iron, and there are heart goggles to protect his body in the back, Xiao Ding's stick can only shock his internal organs. However, the vulture was wearing leather armor at this time, and when the stick went down, the vulture only felt that the bones on his back were "clicking" and shattering. It was as if the chest cavity was bursting, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Fortunately, he blocked it with a double hammer, unloading a lot of force, and it was his own double hammer that was in contact with his back, otherwise, let Xiao Ding's thorny iron hammer be smashed directly, and he would have died at that time.
After the vulture tooth vomited blood, the inside of the melon seeds in his head was buzzing, and there was a feeling that he was about to fall unconscious. But he didn't dare to pass out now, and hurriedly turned his horse and fled in the direction of his team.
Xiao Ding saw that the vulture tooth was seriously injured by himself, and guessed that the other party would not send a military general to fight it alone, so he raised the mace in his hand and shouted: "The whole army charges!" ”
The generals and soldiers behind Xiao Ding, seeing that Xiao Ding had won, beat the opposing coach to a serious injury, all of them were emotional, their morale was high, and they shouted "Kill!" Kill! Kill! Forge ahead.
On the side of the barbarians, the commander was seriously injured and fell unconscious when he returned to the team. The barbarian general Dana hurriedly ordered someone to send the vulture back to the camp to find Lang Zhong for treatment.
Seeing the army on Xiao Ding's side rushing over, Dana would quickly command the soldiers to meet the enemy. It was still the rattan armor soldiers in front, resisting the bows and arrows, and the elephant soldiers then charged.
It's a pity that this time, Xiao Ding came prepared.
Today, the spear crossbows fired by their ballista are not the same as they were fired yesterday. Instead, it is soaked in tung oil, tied to a torch, and lit to fire a fire spear crossbow.
It has to be said that the resistance of the barbarian vine shield is indeed stronger than that of ordinary shields, and ordinary shields are usually unable to block the spears and crossbows fired by the repeater carts, and the spears and crossbows will easily penetrate the shield and injure the soldiers behind the shield. However, the rattan armor is completely effective in blocking spears and crossbows.
Even if it penetrates, the spear will get stuck in the shield, and the soldiers behind the shield are wearing rattan armor, so the spear crossbow will not be able to continue to hurt the soldiers.
Today, however, the situation is a little different.
As soon as the flaming spears and crossbows hit the rattan shield, the vine shield burst into flames. At the same time, it will also ignite the rattan armor on the soldier's body.
You must know that these rattan shields and rattan armor are also soaked in tung oil, so they are very flammable.
Therefore, not long after today's battle began, the barbarian generals immediately felt that the situation was not quite right. The fire spear crossbow shot by the other party directly ignited the rattan armor on the infantry in the front row, and the soldiers instantly fell into a sea of fire, and there was chaos all of a sudden. The soldiers in the back did not dare to step forward, but the soldiers in front ran around in a panic, and when they rushed into the formation, they would ignite the clothes or rattan armor on the other soldiers.
The elephants behind the infantry, the elephants they were riding on, saw a sea of fire in front of them, and they also began to panic, feared, and even fled backwards. The soldiers on the back of the elephant are desperately trying to stop the elephant from running away.
But that's just the beginning.
As Xiao Ding's troops fired more and more fire spear crossbows. More brutes were on fire. Gradually, it has spread to the vicinity of the elephant soldiers.
At this time, the elephant soldiers in front of the queue could no longer control the elephant sitting down.
When the elephants saw that the fire was about to burn to their side, they fled in panic, running and bumping in no direction.
Soon, because the infantry in front of them fell into the sea of fire, the rattan shield and rattan armor could no longer play a defensive role, and the fire spear crossbow could already shoot to the position of the elephant soldiers with the advance of Xiaoding's troops.
Some elephants were hit by fire spears and crossbows, and their bodies burned because they were wearing flammable materials such as saddle straps. The elephant was in pain, and went on a rampage even more frantically.
There are countless soldiers in the barbarian army who trample each other to death because of the indiscriminate invasion of elephants.
Seeing that the fire of the infantry and the panic of the elephant soldiers were out of control, Tana hurriedly issued the order to retreat, hoping to preserve most of the strength of the troops.
However, the elephant soldiers in the panic even hit the wall of their camp when they retreated. Those walls were simply made of wood for defense, and they couldn't resist the elephants' collision.
As a result, the wall of the camp was directly knocked down by many elephants.
Xiao Ding was still directing the soldiers behind, slowly advancing forward. He found the feeling he had when he burned Song Yinpan's camp last time.
The more panicked the Tanahui's side became, the slower the retreat became, and the elephant soldiers trampled each other to death countless soldiers.
Gradually, more and more elephants were shot by the fire spears and crossbows, and these injured behemoths became more and more crazy, not only scurrying around, but also using tusks and long noses to attack when they encountered obstacles in front of them. After some rushed into the camp, they even set fire to the tents inside the camp.
There were still 10,000 defenders left in the barbarian camp, and when they saw these elephants with fire on their bodies breaking into the camp and burning their tents, no one could stop them, so in order to prevent these elephants from setting the whole camp on fire, they had to take the initiative to shoot these elephants.
Although they used ordinary bows and arrows, there were more of them, and they could shoot elephants to death. It's just that shooting an elephant is also a very laborious task, and it takes a long time for the injured elephant to slowly die.
However, due to the knocking down of the wall, more and more elephants poured into the camp, and the defenders in the camp could no longer stop these crazy elephants.
You must know that there are as many as 60,000 soldiers out of the camp to meet the battle, and the soldiers who defend the camp are only 10,000 soldiers. With so many elephants rushing into the camp, how could their 10,000 defenders be able to resist it?
However, no matter how chaotic the barbarian camp was. Xiao Ding's side was still advancing slowly and methodically, step by step, steadily and steadily, with an army of 40,000 firing crossbow arrows in batches. In addition to the crossbows, there were other crossbows, all of which were constantly being fired.
This battle has been fought so far, and Xiao Ding knows that in today's battle, his fire attack plan has successfully broken the elephant soldiers of the barbarian army.
