For the Jiaozhi people, the only benefit of this peace negotiation was that Feng Sanhu was grateful for the respectful attitude of their envoys, and instead of cutting everyone down as usual, he left three people behind, and let them return to Thang Long Mansion to report the Empire's attitude towards the negotiations:

Surrender unconditionally, waiting for the empire to dispose of it.

As a result, the last hope of the little emperor of Jiaozhi was shattered, and he can now only rely on the unreliable decisive battle plan of Li Changjie, who has been completely unreliable and has been defeated in consecutive battles.

"We still have a chance!"

Here's what he said:

"When the northern thieves crossed the Fuliang River, we took the initiative to attack them halfway, and we could drive them all into the Fuliang River and drown them in one fell swoop!"

As for how to do this......

"Relying on war elephants, of course!" Li Changjie swore an oath: "We have not used the elephant army before, so that the northern thieves are rampant!" Now they must have become arrogant, and it's time for us to turn the tide of battle with our war elephants! ”

In order to boost the morale of the negative number, Li Changjie even chanted a poem:

Nanguo Mountains and Henan Emperor's Residence,

It is clearly divided in the book of heaven.

How to invade against the captive,

Thou shalt wait for the sake of defeat.

Leaving aside how well the poem is written, this ability to brag about it in order to cheer himself up is breathtaking.

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Yue Kingdom, who also had no way out, were moved by Li Changjie's spirit of never giving up, and for the first time, regardless of the factional struggle, they complimented Master Taifu's poems together, and the excited little emperor even gave Li Changjie a glass of wine.

However, when they turned around, they went back to their respective mansions and had a final with their wives and concubines.

At the last moment of the Great Yue Kingdom, a lot of things happened in the palace of the Jiaozhi people and the mansions of aristocratic officials, not to mention others, just the 14-year-old little emperor Li Qiande, who was fortunate to be more than ten palace maids every day in the past few days, and even had some delicate-looking eunuchs.

The other ministers are actually similar, maybe only Li Changjie is still moderately sober and really preparing for the next war.

It must be said that this is really a tragedy.

It's just that this tragedy is what the conquerors want to see.

On December 20, the Chinese fleet landed on a shoal south of the Phu Liang River, and since Li Hongzhen had already led his troops back to Thang Long Province, the contingent of 4,000 marines and sailors ashore did not meet any resistance.

Immediately, a small fleet of 22 ship-borne sampans entered the Fura River and marched in the direction of Thang Long Province with the sailors on the shore.

On December 25, the Navy made contact with the Army on land, and the Marines temporarily halted their advance, while the ship-based sampan flotilla merged into the Army's improvised convoy on the north bank of the Fura River.

On December 27, the Chinese army began to cross the river, and the fleet involved in the crossing of the river included 22 large sampans, 200 improvised boats, and countless rafts.

The Cochin Naval Division had already been destroyed by artillery bombardment, so the operation was carried out smoothly without interference, and after the navy personnel transported the first batch of troops to the south bank of the Fuliang River, established a bridgehead, and immediately began to build a pontoon bridge over the Fuliang River using the sampan and materials that the army had already prepared.

There was a lot of good wood in Cochin, and when there was nothing to do, the army urged the captives to cut down a lot of materials and process them into suitable planks.

When the navy's shipboard sampans arrived, they were staggered on the ship, and a pontoon bridge for cavalry and artillery could soon be built.

Twenty-two sampans, two pontoons, and even a few boats were left free as parts for the pontoons.

At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, nearly half of the 40,000 Chinese troops had already crossed the Fuliang River!

On the contrary, there were no heavy weapons, no bridges, and only a few thousand people crossed the river by this time when the Dongman crossed the river on a raft - because the Dongman did not coordinate well with each other, which caused congestion on the raft river.

Of course, the cave barbarians could not cross the river, and it would not affect the overall situation at all for the Chinese army.

However, the Jiaozhi people suddenly discovered that the Chinese army had built two pontoon bridges on the Fuliang River in a few hours, and after transporting tens of thousands of people, they could only muster up the last courage and launch a counterattack against the Chinese army in the middle of the crossing according to Li Changjie's plan.

"Don't be afraid! The northern thief has not yet gained a firm foothold! The cannon certainly didn't come over either! ”

Li Changjie, who had a broken leg, sat on the chair and loudly encouraged the attacking Jiaozhi generals:

"We have elephants! A single charge can trample them all into the mud! Rush over! Don't be afraid! ”

Hundreds of war elephants rushed out of the city, their trunks neighing high-pitched, and their pillar-thick legs propped up tens of thousands of pounds of body and stepped heavily on the ground, making the whole earth tremble.

Not to mention anything else, the momentum of the elephant army is still a bit interesting.

Of course, it's just a bit of a sight.

"Elephants?" Xu Daizhuo, who crossed the river with the first army, looked at the elephant army that was gradually approaching the landing ground on the riverbank, and was stunned: "Are the Jiaozhi thieves crazy?" They actually want to charge the battle with an elephant army? ”

Elephants are sensitive and easily timid, and they are fine when they fight with the wind, but when they are faced head-on, they can break down more easily than humans and horses if they are given some fright.

What's worse is that once it collapses, the fleeing elephant is likely to directly roll over its own army formation, causing the whole army to collapse!

This is also the reason why the Central Plains army faced the army and almost never failed.

Sure enough, before the elephant army could charge, the light field artillery that had already crossed the river and the heavy artillery that had not yet crossed the river launched an artillery attack on the Jiaozhi thieves at the same time.

After only one round of attacks, the elephants who heard the deafening sound of cannons for the first time and saw their companions burst into brains smashed by iron balls let out an uncontrollable scream, and then turned and tried to flee the battlefield .......

The rider on the elephant's back immediately stabbed the elephant's brain stem with a short spear in his hand - a means of preventing the elephant from attacking his own army.

Several elephants collapsed to the ground screaming, but some lucky ones threw the rider off their backs in a hurry.

In addition, there are a few people who are reluctant to attack these companions who they get along with day and night.

As a result, almost 20 elephants rushed directly into the military formation of the Cochin people, and more than 20 flesh alleys were found from the heads of these thieves who had high hopes for them, and they could not see ...... in sight.

The last counterattack of the Cochin people ended completely before it began.

"It's over......, Da Yue is over......"

All the Jiaozhi people who saw this scene let out a lament in their hearts.

Well, not everyone, at least not Li Changjie.

"It's okay! We also have Thang Long Province! Our city is high and thick! We still have ......."

Before he finished speaking, Li Changjie's personal soldiers directly threw the chair on the ground, and the Taifu of Da Yue fell into the dust in embarrassment.

The soldiers screamed out of the open gates, and fled south regardless of it.

Outside the city, the Cochin Army suffered a general collapse.
