Chapter 505: Beat the third brother into the fourth brother
Magadha, located in the northwest of Tianzhu and famous for its abundance of Tianzhu elixir and Uzi steel, was conquered by the Great Eclipse decades ago, just like other nearby small countries, but the Great Cannibals are now too busy with civil war to take care of them, so that they have begun to dream of being the Three Worlds again.
The meaning of the third in the world is that except for the first and second cannot be provoked, the rest should be its vassals, and they should all come to pay tribute, or cede land, or sacrifice princesses to show their loyalty. However, the attitude of the neighbors, especially the countries in the river valley represented by the loss of secrets, was too arrogant, and they even regarded the unspoken rules as nothing, which seriously hurt the dignity of the third brother.
At the instigation of the Great Cannibal, Magadha brazenly waged war against a secret secret, and two successive victories proved that Tianzhu was the third in the world.
"It has nothing to do with combat effectiveness," Ba Tie was studious, and quickly learned the action of Li Huaitang spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, "Tianzhu people have elephants, well, they are the kind of big elephants, much taller than war horses, and their noses are very long......"
Worried that Li Huaitang would not understand, Ba Tie kept gesturing to explain, as if he was introducing a monster. Indeed, for almost all of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry soldiers, elephants that they had never seen or even heard of had something in common with monsters.
"It's just an animal that's smarter than a horse." Li Huaitang smiled, his expression was calm, and he was not at all worried about the terrifying elephant described by Pakistan Tie.
In the era of cold weapons, I only heard that the iron hooves of war horses dominated the battlefield of the world, and I had never heard of the brilliant elephant array, on the contrary, there were many examples of armies with elephants as mounts to achieve the prestige of others.
Far from it, in the era of Taizong, Wang Xuance was ordered to send an envoy to the Magadha country that unified Tianzhu at that time, but the country trusted the monarch and did not have long eyes, Yelang was arrogant, and actually killed Wang Dada's entourage and detained Wang Dada, and later Wang Dada found an opportunity to escape to the vassal state of Songtsen Gampo, which is now Nepal, and borrowed thousands of troops from the country to conquer Magadha. The Magadha people thought that the old king was so frightened that he returned to China, and everyone was happy to see that he actually brought their former defeated soldiers to take revenge. Magadha decided to teach Wang Da a lesson, and discharged his most proud elephant array, but was defeated by Wang Da's slight tricks, and Wang Mahayana pursued after the victory, Magadha was ruined from then on, and the king was captured in Chang'an.
As a result, the world's third-largest Tianzhu people created a historical record, which was wiped out by one person. It seems that the people of Tianzhu either do not have a long memory, or have a strong elephant plot, and still insist on using the elephant cavalry that is not useful.
The way to deal with the elephant array was very simple, Li Huaitang summoned Wei Anguo and attached it to his ear to give him advice.
Wei Anguo laughed when he heard this, and left as ordered.
"Cross the river and beat the third brother into the fourth brother!" Li Huaitang was arrogant, and his bold order startled Ba Tie.
Ba Tie was fortunate enough to have seen the power of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, but he was not sure if they would be able to defeat the seemingly powerful Tianzhu people.
"General, the art of war, wait for work, and attack halfway, why don't we wait for the Tianzhu people to come?" Ba Tie didn't know when he was holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War published by Ning Yuancheng.
Li Huaitang laughed at it, only by fighting a decisive battle in the enemy's territory can the country's losses be reduced, and the land of the river valley has become Li Huaitang's forbidden territory, how can the Tianzhu people be allowed to destroy it?
Accompanied by Ning Yuan's iron cavalry across the river to meet the river valley coalition army, with the assistance of Pakistan Tie, the six monkeys have recruited another 5,000 soldiers in a secret place in the past few days. The coalition forces, which are mainly recruits, are not yet able to fight, but it is helpful to see the battle up close, feel the atmosphere of the battle, and clean up the battlefield and experience the bloody field to face their growth.
The speed of the Tianzhu people surprised Li Huaitang, and as soon as Ning Yuan's iron cavalry had crossed the river, their forward figure had appeared dozens of miles away.
As a pioneer, Jeppel prides himself on being competent, and his 3,000 men are marching hundreds of miles a day as they approach the Indus River, which crosses the rich valley kingdoms, and according to past experience, it is not difficult to defeat the terrified enemy, whose wealth will be at their disposal. Therefore, the vanguard is a fat poor, I don't know how many people deliberately seek it but can't, Jepur is a close confidant of the monarch to be honored to hold this position.
"Quick, speed up!" Jepur sat on a chair on the back of an elephant, gesturing at his men. The scent of the Indus River was already floating in the air, and the riches on the other side were so close that he longed to put wings on his mount and fly to his destination.
The speed of the elephant soldier increased again, and the earth trembled with the huge elephant's hooves smashing wide and deep footprints in their path.
Jepur had no scruples at his command, and he commanded more than 800 elephants, each carrying three or four soldiers, one of whom was responsible for driving the elephants, and the rest of the men were responsible for throwing short spears to feed the enemy on both wings. With this force, even if the valley countries set up an ambush of 100,000 troops, they would not be afraid. Besides, the enemy does not have the audacity.
As he approached the Indus River, Jeppel was surprised to discover that his usually cowardly enemy had crossed the river for the first time.
"Kill them!" Jepoel was furious, the enemy's actions were a challenge to his dignity, these cowardly and incompetent people who had taken the wrong medicine to dare to launch an offensive against the world's third-largest Tianzhu army? They only deserve to be trampled into flesh by the furious elephant's hooves under their own pursuit.
The elephant array turned around and charged head-on at the enemy's cavalry. The attackers were all cavalrymen, numbering thousands, and so fast that Jeppel thought it was unreal, so fast that he didn't have time to think about it.
Close, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...... The elephant's hoof was about to step on the dwarf enemy horsemen and trample them into meatloaf, when Jepur smirked, and suddenly, his smile froze, and the attacker did not give him a chance to charge, but separated from the left and right. The furious elephant array rushed through the dust and smashed into the dust in the air, and the attack was unfocused, making the elephant soldiers extremely uncomfortable. Soon, they found that even more uncomfortable was to come.
The attackers let off their arrows! Arrows were fired methodically on the two wings of the elephant array, and the accuracy of the arrows caused the elephant soldiers to scream in a scream.
Jepur was in a panic, and in the thick of the dust, he couldn't see the wings clearly, but all he could hear was the screams and screams of his own men.
"Stop, stop, stop!" It took Jepur a lot of effort to bring the whole elephant army to a halt.
The chaotic cries died away, the dust cleared, and Jeppur hurried back to look for the enemy. Hundreds of paces behind him, enemy cavalry stood by and ready to launch a second charge.
"Who are they? More powerful than the Great Eater Cavalry! Jeppel muttered, his third belief in the world was wavering, and there were signs of collapse. At this moment, he hadn't even touched the skin of his opponent, and there were as many as 300 people who had landed with arrows on his side.
Before the hazard elephants could turn their heads, the attackers rode up again......
