In fact, in this field battle, the Donglai Navy is still mainly defensive.

The shield-bearer is in front of the wings, the spearmen are behind, and the crossbowmen are in the middle.

In the face of the rushing Funan army, the shooting distance was visually measured, and the standard-bearer waved down the green flag, and suddenly countless arrows flew out.

The Han army's bow and crossbow helped the people of the south to be taught, and it was useless to be afraid, so they could only rush to the front of the Han army in one breath and fight with the Han army in close combat.

The soldiers of Funan Country continued to fall, and they did not stand up anymore, and once they were injured, countless comrades-in-arms would trample themselves to death.

Because there is nothing to save lives in Funan, the medical system in Funanguo is extremely poor, or in this era, except for the rule of Xu Ding of the Han Dynasty, most regions are like this, once injured, they can only be lifted aside and wait for death.

After surviving it, he continued to fight as a soldier, and when he died, he would dig a pit and bury it, and those who could be buried were not bad, and some of them were directly violent corpses in the wilderness and fed to the wolves, tigers and leopards.

Therefore, after the arrow fell to the ground, there was no sympathy and no one to lend a hand, and the overseers behind did not allow the soldiers in front to pause, and did not allow them to do the act of rescue.

The only thing they could do was to rush, to the countless arrows of the enemy formation, and then raise their machetes and kill the Han army.

Therefore, this price was tragic, and the Funan people helped out huge casualties, which finally advanced the foot soldiers to the front of the Han army.

"Array, gun!"

I don't know who gave an order, the Han army shield soldiers and spearmen cooperated separately, and one of them stood behind the shield on the ground, and his body was in a bow shape to support the shield.

The spearmen put the glittering iron spear head between the shield and the shield, and the Funan people who rushed forward were blocked by the shield and pushed back.

Unable to retract or unlucky, he hit the head of the gun directly, stabbing a scar or a bloody hole in his face or shoulder.

"Thorn!"

This is not over, under the unified command and slogan, the Han army spearmen rushed forward with the barrel of the gun, stabbed the head of the gun outward, and then retracted, and then continued to stab, and so on.

The Funan people who rushed up were stabbed down one after another, and the Funan people behind were also frantically stepping on the corpses of their accomplices and waving machetes forward, wiping the pictures to take the lives of one or two Han soldiers, even if it hurt a Han army, it was good to make a breakthrough.

Shoot, shoot!

With the protection of the shield, the Han army could calmly stab and stab to death the Funan people who rushed up one by one.

Occasionally, the Funan people who climbed up with the help of corpses and wanted to leap into the Han army were also shot by the crossbowmen who had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that there were many Funan people killed and injured before the battle, and the piled corpses were about to put up their shields, Gan Ning and others decisively ordered the army to move back as a whole, pulling out a broken distance, and the Funan people who were rushing forward suddenly lost their target and fell in front of the accumulation of corpses.

I don't know if this is a false impression for the people of Funan, the Han army was afraid, and they retreated and fought timidly.

Immediately, the generals of the Funan people were inspired, and their orders were more diligent and resolute.

Attack, keep attacking, storm.

Soon, however, the situation was repeated.

The people of Funan stopped in front of their shields, and countless soldiers were stabbed to death or shot to death.

Then the Han army played this routine several times, that is, not to give the Funan people the opportunity to form a wall to occupy the high ground, dragging them back step by step, and weakening their strength step by step.

Soon 7,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and although the number of soldiers and horses was not as good as yesterday, the momentum of Funan was not as good as yesterday.

It is reasonable to say that the siege war cannot take the city, and the field battle cannot break through the Han army's military formation, which is too undeserved.

"Substitution! Give this king an elephant soldier! I still don't believe that their shield array can stop my invincible elephant. Seeing that he still couldn't take it down, he was a little impatient, so he had to dispatch his most elite and special troops.

This is a trump card, the most suitable for field battles, originally mixed plate wanted to be kept as a hole card, after all, after playing this wave of Han army, the ghost knows if there will be the next batch.

The hole cards are used up, and the next time the Han army knows, they will take more precautions, but their own foot soldiers are not strong enough to eat the other party.

Soon, elephant soldiers composed of elephants slowly approached the Han army's position.

"What's that?"

Many of the Donglai navy did not know what an elephant was, and they were shocked to see an elephant that was only bigger than a hut coming out of the jungle behind the enemy.

Is there such a colossal animal in the matter?

The most important thing is that each elephant has a small tower built on it, on which are six to ten archers and spearmen.

"This should be the barbarian elephant soldier that the lord told us to be especially careful?"

It turned out that Xu Ding had already explained to Gan Ning and others some of the scenery and landforms near the South China Sea, and this elephant soldier paid more attention to the object, because this is a major specialty of the Indochina Peninsula.

It is not only the country of Funan that has elephant soldiers, but almost all countries of all sizes have domestication.

Because the elephant soldiers are not only a sharp weapon for rushing into battle, but also a good help to carry grain and grass over the mountains and mountains, and they are the existence of unobtainable logistics support.

Moreover, this behemoth has a gentle temperament, is very easy to domesticate, eats miscellaneous food, and is mainly grass, so it is very cost-effective to raise them.

The elephant soldiers came forward step by step, and the ground trembled like an earthquake, and people who met for the first time or were unfamiliar with it first ran away in fear just by seeing this scene.

At this time, the soldiers of the Han army were also beating drums in their hearts, and the barbarians of Funanguo could drive monsters to fight, and there were some evil sects.

However, Gan Ning looked at it for a long time, but said with confidence: "Isn't it just to grow big to meet the enemy, there is nothing to be afraid of, transfer our army's bed crossbow to the front, and put the iron bucket in front." The gong and drum trumpeter also gave me to the front. ”

It turned out that Gan Ning had already been accurate, and he couldn't deal with elephants brutally, and it was impossible to marry in a frontal hard battle, so it was best not to let the elephant soldiers rush into the army, otherwise they would be trampled and rushed across.

"The gongs and drums are beating, the suona is rushing, and the iron bucket is shaking for me!"

The soldiers did as Gan Ning said, and suddenly, a murmur followed.

The sudden noise made the advancing elephant stop, and the two big ears of the banana fanned forward vigorously, as if to block out these sounds.

Funan, who was above the elephant, steered the elephant vigorously and ordered them to move forward, but the elephant was in danger of doing something, and he moved forward under the whipping of the traffickers.

"Shoot me with a crossbow!"

The elephant stopped and was a live target, how could Gan Ning miss this opportunity, all the soldiers, immediately shoot crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows shot at the tower above the elephant at a small elevation angle, and an arrow pierced through, knocking the soldiers of the Funan Kingdom above over the elephant and hitting the ground heavily.

Some of them directly killed the driver, and the elephant that no one controlled, let out a strange scream, turned his head and ran back.

More elephants were also disturbed by the shooting wounds and ran backwards.

"Keep up, continue to beat the gongs and drums, and shake the bucket for me." Seeing that this method worked, Gan Ning worshipped Xu Ding again, and then commanded the soldiers in front to rush forward with noise equipment and follow behind the elephants, making all kinds of noises vigorously, driving the enemy's elephant soldiers to attack the military formation of Funanguo.
