"Handsome! Your plan has worked! The Song army has already left the city! ”

Outside the city of Guangyuan, behind the burned bare woods, is the place where the Jiaozhi soldiers camped.

The Song army has set fire to it very much in the past few days, and there is still a forest in the south of Guangyuan City, which is not small, and in spring and autumn, local hunters can also go into the mountains to hunt.

Today, the south side of Guangyuan City is already full of devastation. Everywhere there were charred tree remains, and the people of Cochin were heartbroken but helpless.

Although I lost a piece of forest, my vision was much broader. It was the black smoke that came out after the combustion, which caused many Cochin soldiers to suffer from coughing.

The advisor received information from the scouts and immediately returned to the Great Horde. Now inside are Li Changjie and General Chen Zhiming, who led reinforcements.

Hearing the strategist speak, Li Changjie laughed and said, "Haha! The Song army is really a group of foolish people, if it weren't for the gunpowder in their hands, how could Ben Shuai allow them to make mistakes?

Pass the order down, and let the officers at all levels take people to the predetermined combat positions! Hmph, just this time, Ben Shuai wants them to be wiped out! ”

The strategist immediately retreated with the herald, and Chen Zhiming surrendered his hand with a happy heart: "The marshal is strategizing, and Zhiming admires it very much. Having a handsome man in charge is really my luck in Annan! ”

Li Changjie waved his hand, pretending to be modest and said: "Where Zhiming said, the old man is not so powerful. It's just that the Song people rely on their own gunpowder and have begun to use their brains.

Ben Shuai has been thinking about how to deal with them before, and now it seems that we have found a way! ”

Chen Zhiming smiled and nodded, the two finally looked at each other and smiled, Li Changjie took out a pair of chess from under the chair and said, "Let's play two games!" ”

"I can't ask for it!"

………………

It has been two days since the news of Li Changjie's death came, and although Tang Ning believed this information in his heart, he still cautiously kept observing for two days.

In the past two days, there was nothing unusual about the Cochin army observed by the scouts, and at most they had retreated a distance of three miles.

The soldiers sighed and looked depressed, this is the case when his mother and son died, Li Changjie's death should be true.

So two days later, Tangning finally decided to send troops. However, the way forward is still according to the previous tactic, that is, all living things in the line of sight must be cleared.

At the same time, Tang Ning also sent Xiaoshi to lead 200 cavalry to the front to investigate, in case of any abnormal movement of the enemy, immediately throw gunpowder to warn.

This set of demining tactics is the same way that Tang Ning dealt with Zhao Ren before coming to Jiaozhi, and the bandits who have been beaten all say yes.

Under this tactic, the side with inferior range has no room to fight back.

When he was still within five miles of the enemy, his face suddenly became solemn. He frowned

, as if he was muttering something to himself.

When Tang Ning turned his head to talk to Pei Xiantong, he happened to see this scene. Curious, he leaned over and asked, "Old Seed, have you found something?" ”

Chong Jianzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "I think something is wrong...... The distance of five miles is not long, and the cavalry encounters the enemy situation and begins to accelerate slightly, that is, from this distance.

Generally speaking, no matter who is in command, this should already be within the warning range. However, if you look ahead, the Cochin people are still standing still......

I can't figure out why they did this, because Li Changjie died, and the general who replaced him didn't think of it? It shouldn't be...... It's common sense......"

In the end, Chong Jianzhong fell into deep confusion, and after Chong Jianzhong mentioned this, Tang Ning also began to feel that something was wrong.

In the past, when they were fighting with the Dangxiang people in the northwest, those guys picked up their weapons when they were ten miles away, and they were heavily guarded and did not give face to the Song cavalry.

The terrain here in Jiaozhi is not destined to be the world of cavalry. There are also hillsides and woods, either mountains or bushes. Regardless of the terrain, cavalry is not capable of playing a role.

Tang Ning thought about it carefully, and felt that he was still too suspicious. The people of Jiaozhi have probably never seen how the cavalry fights, so they should not be vigilant.

Just as he was comforting himself, he suddenly heard a loud bang in front of him.

Soldiers with shields immediately stopped at the forefront, and pikemen held their spears diagonally over their heads. Behind the pikeman, there is the waist knife hand, and after that there is the crossbowman.

This formation was designed to deal with cavalry, as the main enemies of the Great Song were the Western Xia and Liao, two nomad-based states.

The Cochin side was purely accidental, and there was no formation specifically studied in advance to fight against the Cochin people, so I could only use this for the time being.

Downing sat on his horse, squinting his eyes and looking ahead. He felt that the power of the gunpowder just now seemed to be a little too great, and the ground under his feet was trembling.

"Old seed, don't you think it's ......" Tang Ning only opened his mouth, and saw that Chong Jianzhong's face was very ugly.

"What's wrong with you, old seed? Are you feeling unwell? ”

"Elephant Soldier ......"

"Vanguard? It's okay, everyone has fought a battle, they are all good brothers, it's really not good, let's let them be cannon fodder......"

"Elephant soldiers!" Chong Jianzhong gritted his teeth and said, "The elephant of the elephant!" ”

"I'm grass!"

As soon as Tang Ning's words fell, he saw a platoon of cavalry in the distance retreating towards this side. While retreating, he shouted something.

Immediately afterward, the tremor under my feet became more and more obvious. Downing sat on the horse, and he was unstable.

"What is an elephant?" Pei Xiantong grabbed Tang Ning's arm and asked very simply.

Tang Ning's face was also very ugly, and after taking a deep breath, he shouted: "Run!" Use your strength to feed me and run to Guangyuan City! ”

"......" The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army did not hesitate at all, put their weapons away and turned around and ran.

Isn't it just running? They're the best at it, running six kilometers every day, running? Mere trifle!

Seeing that the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army turned around and ran, the other soldiers also fled with their lives.

An elephant roar suddenly sounded in front of him, and the red horse beneath Tang Ning began to be restless.

Large gray ears with two curved white tusks. With a long and thick nose, the Vietnamese really sent elephant soldiers here.

"That's an elephant!" Pei Xiantong rode forward on horseback, but he didn't look back to see the excitement: "It's too majestic!" ”

To be honest, Tang Ning didn't know if this woman was relying on her high ability or lack of brains, every time someone else was nervous, she could always find something that could make her excited.

"Elephants are so big!"

"Nonsense, can't you call it an elephant? Wang Sunsin! Wang Sunsin! Tang Ning rolled his eyes at Pei Xiantong and shouted to his side.

"The last general!" Wang Sunchen rode over on his horse and said loudly: "What does the general command!" ”

"Can you shoot the elephant soldier down?" Tang Ning asked, "You don't need to force it, with our current speed, we can escape." ”

Wang Sunchen glanced at the elephant about three miles away behind him, and said with some embarrassment: "It's too far, if it's 700 steps, the end will be able to guarantee it." Now this distance, riding a horse again, is very difficult! ”

"Then forget it." Tang Ning nodded, and then kicked Wu Dazhuang in the back: "What are you in a daze?" Run! ”

"No! General, I want to protect you! ”

"You just run yours, Lao Tzu has six legs, you just two, why don't you run two more steps now?

Tell you that elephants kill people by rolling you up with their noses and throwing you into the sky, then opening their mouths and swallowing you in one bite when you fall. ”

"Mom!" Wu Dazhuang screamed, turned his head and ran.

Tang Ning urged the other soldiers: "Hurry up!" Run fast! The elephant behind the butt, the long-eyed ones have seen it, right? If you don't want to die, hurry up with both of your feet! Hurry up! ”

Although the elephant soldiers are very strong, the elephant is still not as fast as the horse. However, their speed of 20 kilometers per hour is more than enough to catch up with people. Fortunately, the Song army was not far from Guangyuan City, and it was not close to the place where the elephant soldiers appeared.

Tang Ning roughly calculated, even if these elephants ran at full speed, they would not be able to catch up with the Song army. By the time they arrived at Guangyuan City, the Song army should have already entered the city.
