With the official order, the first row of crossbowmen finally lit the Sky Monkey cartridge tied to the arrows on the crossbow, and the lead burned with a snort, and with the pull of the crossbow machine, it "buzzed" out.

This is the big killing weapon that Li Su used to deal with war elephants. Strictly speaking, it's just like the monkey in the fireworks, but it's not "real. Monkeys".

Because according to the definition of the Sky Monkey, you have to rely on gunpowder gas propulsion to cause the arrow shaft to fly forward, and the main power of Li Su's flight of this batch of goods is still the energy storage of the crossbow string itself.

The black powder he made now is still very difficult to cause fatal damage to people or beasts, and Li Su has never thought of making a musket or cannon, but it is too easy to use it to scare people.

What's more, Li Su, the monkey who channeled the sky, had already used it when he played "White Rainbow Through the Moon, Snake Sword Flying and Claiming the Lord" in Chang'an Taimiao, so if you have experience, you will improve it slightly this time, and the reliability is very high.

The experience of the East and the West in confronting war elephants for thousands of years shows that elephants are afraid of fire, deflagration and loud noises, and these factors are common to the monkeys.

And with Li Su's reluctant temperament, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.

So even if the monkey can't control the direction of the elephant's impact, he still has a spare tire: before this battle, Li Su asked all the Han light infantry to carry a bundle of hay, go to the front of their own position, form a row of spaced haystacks, and once the war elephant rushes to within fifty steps, it will be directly ignited.

In addition, Li Su also brought a batch of "Li Luotov cocktail" incendiary bottles, which were used against Gan Ning and Zhang Lu in the Langzhong Canyon, and now they want to quickly create local incendiary belts to block war elephants, or when facing a cluster of rattan armor soldiers, they may also be used, and it is not a loss to prepare some.

All the materials were stored in the warehouse in Dianchi County before, as long as it took time to manufacture them into finished products, rather than transferring them from thousands of miles away, otherwise the preparation time of more than ten days was not enough at all - because when Li Su first arrived in Nanzhong, he thought that he might have to face rattan armor soldiers or war elephants, these things are too famous in Romance, and they are indeed the elite combat power of Nanzhong, and it is not Li Su's style to not prepare.

In the end, there was also a corridor between the Han army's formations, in order to form a diversion of the trajectory of the crazy elephant - this trick was created by the famous Roman general Sipia when he dealt with the Carthaginian commander Hannibal.

……

"Whoosh~squeak~chirp~" With a terrible and sharp howl, a group of scurrying monkeys exploded one by one within a range of fifty to one hundred steps in front of the Han army's formation, and the sound was like a group of ghosts. In the end, the sound of the cartridge exploding seemed to be louder and more durable than the howling of the flying.

The simple "segmented deflagration" fuse is not very reliable, some of the monkeys do not howl during the flight, and do not explode until they are pierced into the skin of the war elephant or shot on the ground, and some explode directly in the air after whistling and flying.

But no matter whether it was blown up early or late, relying on the dense number of thousands of them, and the target of the war elephant was large enough, the terrifying effect was still very outstanding.

One giant elephant after another began to scream and howl, and even a few people with hind legs stood up and threw the elephant rider on their backs directly down.

The armament of the war elephants is not perfect, unlike the Carthaginians, who have arrow towers on the back of elephants, so the Ailaoyi will not put arrows on the elephants, purely each elephant is a person, riding on the neck to control the direction, all the damage output is trampling and ramming, and the war elephant will not be clothed with armor.

Such extensive armament makes the war elephant more and more lacking in countermeasures when encountering the crossbow arrows of the Sky Monkey to gather fire.

King Mulu, who was personally in charge of the vanguard of the Chinese army and led the elephant herd to charge, originally rode on the back of the largest war elephant. This is also the only war elephant with a simple arrow tower-like saddle that can put arrows on the back of an elephant, and when he witnessed all this, King Mulu was first stunned, and his heart was dripping blood.

He saw at least twenty or thirty war elephants, and at the first moment they ran wildly, retreated, fell down, and threw off their drivers, all of them were the elite of the clan!

"It can't be! What kind of demon method do the Han people use? Does Li Su really have the help of the gods?! My war elephants! ”

And the commander of the Ailao Coalition Army, who was watching the battle in the rear, brought the cave master, although the visual impact was not as direct as that of King Mulu, but because he stood high and saw far, he could grasp the overall situation at the first time, so the horror in his heart did not lose at all.

"With such a storm and thunder, what kind of divine help do the Han people have? Will I mourn when God dies? ”

However, even at this moment, the generals of the mourning prison have not given up their last hope, they are still betting that the Han army is too slow, and even if the war elephant array bombs the camp, the Han army will be trampled to death even more!

"The vine armor soldiers and the rear army continue to charge! The land where the war elephants were frightened was less than fifty paces away from the Han army! Even if you go crazy and step on it, you will trample on the Han soldiers more! The spearmen went up first, resisting the war elephants and not letting them retreat! The cave master quickly gave a few orders, trying to gamble for his life.

It turned out that he also saw that although the war elephants had fled from the camp, they were already very close to the Han army's front after all—if the crossbow arrows were not tied to the Monkey Pills, the crossbow could have easily shot at a target two hundred paces away.

The cartridge is tied to make the arrows heavier and the streamlined aerodynamic structure is destroyed, so it can only shoot up to 100 paces, and if the arrow flies too fast, it may lose the lead due to strong winds. All this led to the fact that the elephant's fryer was within a hundred to fifty paces away from the Han army.

And the elephant will not all retreat after being frightened, even if the frontal fire is fierce, the elephant that lacks IQ judgment does not know which direction to flee safely, so the elephant's scurrying is completely "true. Random Events".

Rush to the Han army a few dozen steps further and the formation will be broken!

Such a big bait is placed there, so that the generals of the mourning prison do not want to completely abandon their efforts - if they retreat at this time, it will be to lose 30% of the chips that have been put on the table, and it will be for the Han army to eat it all for nothing! And if you fight to the death, all the chips are pushed to the table, and you will have a chance to turn over the book with interest!

How can you not follow at this time!

Thousands of barbarian spearmen without armor were ordered to change their original position and rush to the same position as the vine armor soldiers, and they all raised their spears to resist the retreating elephants.

And in this brief chaos, almost all the more than 200 war elephants went berserk on all fronts, and less than a tenth of them were still calmly rushing forward.

"Wow-" After the Han army's Sky Monkey was almost used, it had to leave the last strategic reserve, and instead set fire to all the haystacks in front of the formation, forming a wall of fire that diverted the stream.

Even if there were a handful of people who still rushed to the wall of fire in a panic, the Han army still had the last killer weapon to shoot with a powerful crossbow with ordinary arrows, and to repel by throwing a fierce fire oil brown sugar viscous incendiary bottle within twenty steps.

"Whew-" There was a terrible howl, and the war elephant that was rushing at the front was finally burned by the sticking of the Molotov cocktail and turned around immediately.

More elephants, under the pressure of the sword array and the wall of fire, rushed to the back of the Han army array along the road, and fled directly from the battlefield. The Han army also took advantage of the elephant's passage through the road, and used bows and arrows to shoot the riders on the elephant's back at close range, shooting down dozens of riders and assassinating them.

Of the more than 200 war elephants, twenty or thirty fell directly in front of the battle like hedgehogs, and about twenty were hit by Molotov cocktails and ran wildly into the distance with fire, running and dying.

Of the remaining 1780 war elephants, about 80 of them were indeed as expected by the cave master and the king of Mulu, "although they were blown up, they were also blown up in the direction of the Han army's array", but unfortunately all of them fled from the battlefield along the Yongdao diversion and did not trample a few Han soldiers to death at all.

On the contrary, there were a hundred war elephants, sturdy and sturdy, making an eighty-degree turn, charging and trampling the barbarian array behind them.

"Kara-" The muffled sound of the vine armor soldier being trampled to death by the elephant's leg directly with the shield on his head was endless, and the soldiers broke their tendons and bones, like flesh and mud.

Hundreds of crude spears were used by the unarmored barbarian light infantry to fend off the retreating elephants, but as the Han army's stumbling crossbow array completed the task of frightening the enemy and switched to using ordinary crossbow arrows, a rain of arrows covered could shoot the unarmored spearmen trying to resist the elephants.

This kind of shooting took place at a distance of seventy or eighty paces, and the side that was shot did not even have clothes, which was simply brutal.

What's worse is that the brute's innate fear of gunpowder weapons has already greatly damaged their morale. When the Han army was accumulating, if there were dozens of lethal crossbow arrows with one or two monkeys, not only the elephants would become more and more frightened, but even many ordinary soldiers would put down their spears and throw their heads directly.

Hundreds of collapsed elephants directly stepped on dozens of bloody paths in the barbarian array, and many elephants still had the corpses of barbarians hanging on their tusks, and from time to time they had to shake their heads to throw the strings on their teeth out.

"Powerful crossbows shoot barbarian light soldiers on both wings! Let Meng Xin lead his troops to charge along the slopes of Cangshan Mountain! Trap the camp and line up to meet the vine armor soldiers! Guan Yu watched this exciting battle in the Chinese army, and he also felt a sense of pride in his chest, and in the past seven or eight years, he had never experienced such a hearty and fierce battle, so he also issued military orders again and again to ask for a counterattack.

And the barbarian light soldiers on the opposite side have long been trampled and the double blow of the Sky Monkey has almost collapsed, leaving only the vine armor soldiers who have not been trampled to death, still relying on their own excellent equipment, and Teng Dun will not be killed by crossbow arrows, insisting on fighting, Guan Yu's focus on the attack, and it is the turn of the vine armor soldiers.

"The will to be trapped, there is death or life, kill-" Gao Shun took two thousand ironclad soldiers who had not yet been officially upgraded to the trapping camp, carrying two thousand thick-backed sword swords with five-foot long blades, and marched forward in a solemn formation, although the pace of the charge was not as fast as running wildly for each battlefield, but it was also much faster than the infantry formation of other arms, almost a "neat trot" posture of slaughter.

Trotting and still being able to maintain a queue, this kind of discipline is itself a kind of big killing weapon on the ancient battlefield.

With the resonance of bursts of weapons, some of the rattan armor soldiers actually relied on the double protection of Teng Dun and rattan armor to block the slashing of the horse sword, but because the barbarians did not form a formation, they could not form an effective counterattack, so they could only be pushed and retreated by the trapped soldiers, and they were stabbed and trampled by all their strength without paying attention.

At the same time, the rattan armor soldiers are only strong in defense, but the quality of their combat knives is also worse than the Han army's standard ring-headed knife, so when encountering the Han army's ironclad soldiers, at most, they "can't break each other's defenses", and Gao Shun is not afraid at all.

As the sporadic vine armor soldiers on the periphery were killed one after another, King Ugo, who commanded the vine armor soldiers, also realized the seriousness of the problem, and shouted loudly to try to gather his vine armor soldiers, so that the vine armor soldiers also lined up to fight.

It's a pity that the trapped camp is also waiting for the dense formation of vine armor soldiers to fight. After seeing more and more vine armor soldiers gathered under the banner of King Ugo, Gao Shun personally led the charge with a shout, and ordered the ironclad soldiers to take out the two jars of brown sugar viscous fire oil they had each given out before the battle.

Fujijia is not as easy to be ignited by a little spark as written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so it cannot be mass-killed by rockets. However, with the addition of Molotov cocktails, it is absolutely fine.

I didn't take out the Molotov cocktail before, because the enemy was too sparse, and it was wasted with bottles, and if I couldn't hit it, it would be smashed in vain. And once they are in a formation, even if they can't hit the target they are aiming at, they can accidentally injure the teammates around him, and the efficiency is suddenly doubled.

"Qiang Chang ~ Qiang Chang ~ Hula ~" The crisp sound of pottery and the hissing of flames instantly led to countless wails. The rattan armor is added with fire oil, and it is a human-shaped torch in an instant.

"Uh-help me! Kill me! "Many rattan armor soldiers screamed like killing pigs, and they couldn't help the pain, and they actually pulled out their knives directly to end the pain.

Countless soldiers tried to roll and take off their armor, even if they tore off large pieces of flesh and blood, they didn't hesitate to take them off, and they couldn't care less if they were directly stabbed to death by a sword when they took off.

Only a few people were very brave and wanted to rush towards the Han army, hugging the Han army and rolling together and burning to death, but they were all stabbed by seven or eight swords, and their deaths were worse than the death of Dong Tianbao in "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng".

There are many such tragic deaths, and the only thing left is to roll on the spot and wait for death, or a small number of soldiers at the easternmost end of the front, because the arrangement of the battle line is already close to Erhai Lake, jump directly into Erhai Lake to commit suicide in order to extinguish the fire, and drowning is more comfortable than burning to death.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu didn't intend to let it go, he immediately handed over the command of the Chinese army to Li Su, who supervised the battle, and then Guan Yu personally took a thousand cavalry of the Han army to search and kill along the shore of Erhai.

All the arrays of rattan armor soldiers were all broken and shattered by fire oil bottles, scattered soldiers were surrounded and killed by trapping soldiers, King Ugo saw that the general trend had gone, and wanted to flee with the vine armor soldiers who guarded him, but unfortunately there were no war horses in the southern barbarians, and at this time he gave up the formation and fled, and was trampled and charged by Guan Yu from behind, and his death was extremely miserable.

King Ugo's helmet was embellished with peacock feathers that were more gorgeous than Sun Wukong, which was too conspicuous, Guan Yu rushed from behind and personally picked up the Qinglong knife and sent him on the road.

The knife flashed, seven or eight peacock feathers splashed into the sky, a good head rose with a blood spring, and there were tens of thousands of barbarian kings with good nutrition, and even blood pressure was particularly high, and it was an honor to suffer from the rare three high diseases of this era, and the neck blood shot more than a foot high, and the death was called an ornamental.

And just before King Ugo was personally beheaded by Guan Yu, King Mulu had already been with his mount elephant, because of the gorgeous decoration, he was greeted by hundreds of sky-piercing monkeys and dozens of fire oil bottles, and his bones were burned.

"Quick, get out! Return to the city of Yuyu County! "The matter has come to this, and the cave master knows that everything is gone, and he just wants to flee for his life in great disgrace.

It's a pity that in today's battle, they were going out of the city twenty miles south to take the initiative to meet the attitude, and how difficult it was to return twenty miles north under the pursuit of Guan Yu's cavalry.

As the guards around him killed fewer and fewer, and the soldiers scattered one by one, Guan Yu rushed to the back of the cave master, and stabbed his head, ending his pain.

"Hmph, insert the label to sell the first ear, and dare to resist the heavenly soldiers."
