As far as the eye can see, the mountains are stacked, between the peaks and valleys, the narrow flat place is crowded with the Siamese army's large and small, all kinds of military formations, and in front of the main force of the Siamese Chinese army, dozens of elephant soldiers are on display at this moment.

Elephants are large and large, and although they move slowly, they are not clumsy. On the contrary, they trekked through mountains and rivers as if they were walking on flat ground, even if the road was steep and uneven.

At the same time, the elephant is intelligent and humane by nature, coupled with its formidable physical strength, it is trained as a soldier and used in charging into battle, and often receives unexpected results.

In the third year of the Ming Dynasty, during the Thai-Burmese War, the royal city of Siam, Ayutthaya, was captured by the Burmese army, and Siam was reduced to a Burmese subject state for 15 years.

Unwilling to be humiliated by the country, the Siamese prince Na Li Xuan tried his courage and accumulated strength, and with the support of the patriotic relics, he finally established himself as the king in the city of Ken in Siam in the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, declared independence from the rule of Burma, and led the Siamese army and people to compete with Burma again.

In the battles that followed Siam's resurgence, the importance of the elephant soldiers to Siam was indispensable.

In the twenty-third year of Wanli, with the continuous participation of Siamese elephant soldiers, Siam even hit the capital of Burma Bago for a time, which also made Siam turn defeat into victory, and then there is now a powerful Siam.

The Elephant Soldier is the most powerful class of troops in Siam. However, because elephant soldiers were difficult to train, Siam did not have many elephant soldiers.

However, don't look at Siam now looks tough, it seems that no one dares to mess with it, but as a Siamese general, where does Marogo not know, these are just the calm before the storm.

Today, the Burmese Yong have almost unified Burma, with more and more Mon people (1) fleeing to Siam. Marogo knew that a full-scale outbreak of the Thai-Burmese War could happen at any time, and in order to ensure the safety of the royal city of Ayuthaya, Marogo preferred to keep more elephant soldiers in the royal capital as military guards.

Moreover, Marogo thought that if he could not defeat the war with 30,000 Siamese warriors, thousands of cavalry, and dozens of powerful elephant soldiers, then he would be too defeated.

"It's really unthinkable, this elephant soldier who was originally intended to be used against the Annan army is now used to help them solve the enemy. Annam waste, if you can fight a little, you will not want our army to go to the battlefield now. Looking at the elephant soldiers in front of the Chinese army, Ma Luoguo couldn't help but say proudly.

"Someone, give me a notice, order the Chinese army to move forward, and attack the enemy army immediately."

"Yes, General..."

……

"Uh-huh..."

Soon, the trumpets sounded all over the mountains and fields of the Siamese army.

The elephants placed in front of the Siamese army were also officially driven by the elephant soldiers, and the speed was constantly accelerating. The elephants were followed by a dense Siamese legion, tens of thousands of troops lined up in a narrow stretch of ancient land, as close as migrating ants.

On the other hand, the Yi army's position only built several trenches in the shape of the mountain and put on a defensive posture.

"Just a few small ditches, thinking they can stop the charge of my Siamese elephants? The generals of the Yi army on the opposite side are not enough brains. As if he had seen the enemy trembling under the attack of the elephant soldiers, Marogo was in a good mood and laughed and said. caused the people around him to laugh out loud.

"The general is right, I see that the enemy on the other side has never seen our elephant at all, and he doesn't know what to do, so he thought of digging a few ditches, thinking that in this way he could stop the elephant soldiers. I don't know it, it's completely useless. ”

"I see, this battle can be over with a stick of incense. Let's wait to receive the captives! ”

"Haha... That's right..."

"Woo... Woo......"

As the Siamese army continued to approach, at this time, a long horn sound was also heard from the Yi army's position.

"Everyone, look at it, the show is about to begin," said a general beside Ma Luoguo.

"Haha..."

…………

"Jumping ......"

"Jump... Jump... Jump..."

As soon as these people's words fell, in an instant, a loud voice sounded in the advancing army of Siam, and groups of cremation continued to rise on the battlefield, and thick gunpowder smoke and dust rose.

"Bouncing ......"

The loud noise broke out instantly, continuously, and the Siamese Chinese army was already in chaos. Affected by the powerful explosion, the elephant soldiers who could still walk in front of them were also uncontrollable, and they retreated to the Siamese army behind them, trampling on the Siamese army scattered around.

Under the continuous sound of explosions, there seemed to be a neat sound of firecrackers again.

"Bang... Bang... Bang bang bang..."

Looking at the tragedy of the Siamese army on the battlefield, Ma Luoguo and the others froze with smiles before they understood.

"How so, what is this, why is this happening? Why is there thunder rolling in the sky, is it because we are not devout enough to the Buddha? ”

"My Buddha! Withdraw the thunder! ”

Someone was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the battlefield.

"No, it's not a thunderbolt, it's supposed to be a cannon..."Although the well-informed Marogo didn't understand what the situation was, he vaguely seemed to guess it.

Cannons, which are rare in Siam, are a problem of process production, and the land is a mountainous place, and there is no need to use this "gold-swallowing beast" to deal with surrounding countries.

Although cannons are rare in Siam, they are not uncommon, after all, Myanmar uses cannons, and Siam, as a perennial opponent of Myanmar, naturally has to try his best to get some to make the generals familiar with the DPRK and China.

"But aren't all cannons fired slowly, and fired stones or iron balls? How could this powerful explosion come from a cannon? Someone didn't understand and muttered to himself.

"If this is a cannon, how many cannons do you have to have such a formation!"

……

The explosion didn't last long, but after a short cup of tea, it stopped. On the battlefield at this time, only the sound of "banging" platoon robbery is still ringing.

Many Siamese sergeants who were still on the battlefield at the moment did not even understand what was happening. The severed limbs flying everywhere under the sound of the explosion, and the smell of blood in the smoke of gunpowder constantly irritated them.

Every time the guns were fired, people kept falling, and the original morale of the Siamese army was instantly low to freezing.

"Run... Flee, it's the devil, it's the devil's flame..."

"Run..."

……

The advancing soldiers of the Siamese Chinese army could not bear the fear in their hearts, and fled with shouts and shouts.

The Siamese army fled in a crowd, and soon the army was trampled with casualties. However, for the Siamese soldiers, who were bent on escaping from this human defense, no one cared whether they were stepping on the bodies of their companions.

……

"Our army is defeated, order the two wings to cover the defeated Chinese army, Mingjin retreats." Looking at the fleeing army, Marogo reluctantly commanded the adjutant beside him.
