The so-called wooden shields that the Burmese army temporarily made to block bullets are actually wooden doors that were removed from the homes of the people in the rear, but ordinary wooden planks were nailed to the doors to thicken the doors, otherwise the Burmese army would not have been able to make hundreds of door shields in such a quick time.

The war elephants chirped, and 290 war elephants, driven by the elephant riders behind them, ran and rushed towards the defensive positions on the south bank of the Ming army.

Two hundred and ninety war elephants ran at the same time, and the earth shook like an earthquake!

The war elephants were followed by Burmese soldiers with thickened door panels and shields in a three-person group.

In the case of the extreme lack of war horses, war elephants are undoubtedly the trump card troops in Southeast Asia and other subtropical regions, and their status is equivalent to the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty.

There are 2,000 war elephants in Myanmar and 1,500 war elephants in Siam, so it is always said that Myanmar is stronger than Siam.

As the largest animals on land, war elephants have a clear role in warfare and have great advantages, but they also have obvious disadvantages.

After all, war elephants are not only the largest of all land animals, but they are also among the most intelligent of any animal. Because of their intelligence, war elephants tend to be more likely to go uncontrolled when they are harmed.

The Ming soldiers in the defensive positions were watching the defeat of the Burmese army with disdain.

Suddenly, the sound of a thump was heard as the earth shook, and soon the first war elephants roared out of the jungle, followed by more war elephants rushing out of the crowd in all directions.

"Elephant!" The Ming soldiers recovered from their shock.

"Intercept these elephants and fire!"

"Da da da" The Ming soldiers hooked the trigger of the machine gun and fired at the group!

"Bang Bang Bang" rifles also fired intensively, forming a net of fire to kill the onrushing elephants.

For elephants, although the soldiers of the Ming army rarely saw them, the Central Plains Dynasty has been able to suppress Southeast Asian countries for thousands of years, and there are naturally many ways to deal with war elephants.

A single war elephant may be several times more powerful than a single enemy soldier, but after all, the number of war elephants cannot be compared with that of war horses, and the food is huge, and a large amount of food needs to be consumed every day, even if Myanmar, the current hegemon-level country in Southeast Asia, is only 2,000 heads.

Of course, even if a war elephant is powerful, it is flesh and blood, and it can't stop bullets.

"Poof! Burst! Poof"

The bullet hit the war elephant, and directly shot out wisps of blood.

War elephants scream in pain!

However, the war elephants are huge, with rough skin and thick flesh, and they are not so easy to be killed, and the dozens of war elephants that rushed in front of them, but three of them fell to the ground in an instant after being hit by too many bullets, and more war elephants were wild and scurrying around under the pain.

War elephants have this shortcoming, and after being injured, many of them often do not listen to the manipulation and run around, and may even hurt their own people.

No, with a click, a wounded war elephant slammed into a door shield behind him, directly knocking the door shield and the three Burmese soldiers behind him into the air, and a Burmese soldier fell to the ground and was stepped on the chest by an elephant's leg, and immediately vomited blood and died.

The defending Ming soldiers watched in amazement as the army of Burmese war elephants, which originally looked extremely fierce, were in disarray, and they didn't need to continue shooting for a while.

Wounded war elephants are running wildly, elephants on their backs are struggling to maneuver.

Although war elephants have such obvious shortcomings, the Burmese people, as a group of thousands of war elephants, naturally cannot be without some countermeasures to deal with this situation after so many years.

Sure enough, the elephant rider who saw the war elephant manipulating it saw that the manipulation was fruitless, and a black cloth came out of nowhere, and it immediately covered the eyes of the war elephant sitting down.

After a while, the elephant rider on the elephant's back controlled the direction of the war elephant's wild run, allowing the war elephant to continue to rush towards the direction of the Ming army's Annan position.

The other elephant riders also took out black cloths to blindfold the war elephants, and manipulated the war elephants to continue to rush in the direction where the Ming army was.

"The elephants are rushing over again and keep shooting!" The commander of the Ming army ordered.

"Da Da Da" The Ming soldiers once again hooked the trigger and strafed the elephant that rushed towards them.

The "Bang Bang Bang" rifle also fired intensively in unison, reforming the dense fire network with the machine gun to block the frantically rushing swarm.

Under such intensive blows by the Ming army, even if the war elephant was tenacious, he had to die if he was shot too much.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Many war elephants fell on the way.

However, after all, these war elephants are huge, rough skin and thick flesh, even if they fall on the way to charge and cannot rush into the Ming army's position, they finally rely on their body shape to block the bullets for the other war elephants behind, so that those living war elephants can continue to approach the Ming army's position.

In a short time, almost the Ming soldiers reacted, but the nearest war elephant had already rushed to a distance of only ten meters from the Ming army's position, and the Burmese soldiers with door shields who were charging with the war elephants also rushed to a distance of less than thirty meters.

The bullets hit the thickened wooden shields, although the wooden shields of the doors were blown to the point of sawdust, but the thickened and several wooden shields could not penetrate at one time, unless two or more bullets hit the same place at the same time, but these were a minority after all, and the Burmese soldiers holding these door shields were still approaching.

The Ming soldiers were taken aback and increased the speed of loading and firing, but they were still unable to effectively stop the situation.

"Still grenades!"

At the same time, there were generals who drank and used grenades.

The Ming soldiers reacted, quickly took off the grenade hanging from their waists, pulled the fuse and threw it out.

"Boom boom" grenades exploded, shrapnel and blazing heat killed the war elephants.

Hundreds of Ming artillery artillery pieces placed in the artillery positions on the north bank also opened fire under such circumstances, supporting the Ming soldiers in the positions on the south bank with heavy artillery fire.

"Boom, boom, boom" hundreds of cannons fired in unison.

The shells exploded dozens of meters in front of the Ming army's position, instantly turning it into a sea of fire.

However, even if the damage of grenades and shells is much more powerful than bullets, it is still impossible to kill all of so many huge war elephants at once, not to mention that many war elephants have rushed to a distance of ten meters from the Ming army's position.

Many of the war elephants who were not killed heard the explosion and rushed even more frantically.

And because they were blindfolded and couldn't distinguish the direction, many wounded war elephants still rushed to the Ming army's position.

After all, the Ming army only came over with more than 1,000 people, and there were not enough machine guns carried, even if they were assisted by grenades, there would eventually be war elephants that slipped through the net.

Finally, the first war elephant rushed into the Ming position.

On the spot, several Ming soldiers were knocked into the air or trampled to death by war elephants.
