However, these war elephants are also gradually speeding up, which can be regarded as moving targets, and the elephant's often raised snout will also interfere with the vision.

But even so, more than a dozen mahouts were killed by the snipers in the head, and the archers behind them were too scrambling to control the elephants.

In the past, when there was a war, how could it be attacked from such a distance? Also specialized in playing mahouts.

Some of the elephants were kicked by the mahouts before they died, and they ran diagonally, knocking the Scythian cavalry into one piece, while others rushed straight towards the wall.

Who made these elephants blindfolded and their ears gagged?

Eventually, the mortars began their attack, and the shells exploded in front of the elephants, but they were not afraid because they were blindfolded and their ears were gagged.

Unless it is a fragment of a shell that scratches their body, it will make them feel pain.

The Scythian cavalry had long since dispersed far away, bowed down, and began to charge.

However, they wondered, even if they were lucky enough to rush under the wall, what would they do against the enemy?

Do you use your body to hit the wall? I'm not one of those stupid elephants.

With a bow and arrow? The range is too short, and it's hard to hit your opponent from the bottom up.

With a spear? His spear is only more than a foot long, and it is not as high as the wall.

When charging, the Scythian cavalry also had to be careful of rampage war elephants, which they could not stand if they were hit.

Fortunately, the clever man finally remembered to remove the black cloth that had blindfolded the elephants, and some of the elephants turned around and ran back on their own.

However, two elephants slammed into the wall, and more of the big ones who ran around filled the trenches, and the cavalry of Khorasan only filled a few passages, but not the entire trench.

Such a huge object collided with a certain speed, and the sturdy wall shook violently, and the supporting wooden pillars where they were hit were really broken.

The walled wall was really knocked down a short section of two zhang wide, and several soldiers of the Central Army were knocked up and flew up and fell off the wall. The charging Scythian cavalry immediately swarmed towards this gap.

Mortars are still a great threat to cavalry, the distance is close, grenades and repeaters can also hurt Scythian heavy cavalry, muskets are even more fine, and lead bullets have more penetration than crossbow arrows.

A salvo of five hundred flintlock muskets could not withstand the well-protected Scythian cavalry.

What's more, after many elephants were injured, they went on a rampage on the battlefield, and the heavy cavalry around them first felt the power of the elephants.

Without waiting for the prince to order the troops to be collected, the remaining war elephants and Scythian cavalry had already fled back to their camp.

In the open space in front of the camp were the corpses of dozens of war elephants, or wounded war elephants that were dying.

The heavy cavalry also lost nearly a thousand horsemen, except for the achievement of knocking a hole in the wall, which was to fill in the trench and use the carcasses of elephants and heavy cavalry.

The prince was very angry, he thought that the impact of the war elephant was still very threatening to the camp, and it was the mahouts who should be able to break through the wall, but the mahouts were timid and cowering.

He asked the war elephants and heavy cavalry to launch another assault, and the heavy cavalry emphasized that they had no good way to deal with the defenders on the wall, and were only passively beaten.

In the end, the prince agreed that the heavy cavalry would send only 1,500 cavalry for this charge, and that he would send 2,000 Kushan archers to suppress the defenders at the head of the city.

So war elephants, heavy cavalry, and archers attacked again.

Sima Yi gave the order unhurriedly, "Order the artillery battalion of the 10th Cavalry Division to join the shelling, and the second regiment of the musket brigade to join the defense of the wall." ”

As a result, the mortar attack was more intense than the previous ones, and the density of shells was greater.

Five hundred Han soldiers with muskets appeared on the wall, which was twice as many.

In this way, the ending of the story is not difficult to imagine, and the Kushan cavalry charges faster than the last one.

Although the archers were fast, how could they stop the fragments of cannonballs and sharp crossbows when they were running naked?

The musketeers simply didn't shoot them, wasting bullets.

In the end, it was the big ones who caused damage to the wall, and their second charge finally widened the gap in the wall from two zhang to ten zhang wide.

Two of the war elephants even stormed the camp, but that was all there was to it, and a flintlock shot from a close-range flintlock could be fatal to the elephants.

When the war elephants and Scythian cavalry were once again lost, the Kushan cavalry's charge was once again declared a failure.

The prince of Bo is also at a loss, and a small camp that he captured in the plan has now become a hot potato or a hedgehog covered in thorns?

After losing so many people, he couldn't take it, and he knew that his desire to deplete these local provinces had to be stopped in moderation, otherwise it would provoke a mutiny.

In order to balance the mood of the many provincial legions, he ordered an attack by Rawalpindi's mounted cavalry division, and this time the main division of the Kushan Empire went into battle in person.

The other provincial legions are waiting to see how they will perform?

Of course, there will be no surprises in the result, a salvo of the Han army is a thousand muskets, plus a complete firepower configuration of mortars and grenades, and it is against the danger.

The 3,000 mounted cavalry barely rushed to the edge of the camp, and their protection was inferior to that of war elephants and Scythian cavalry, and similar to that of the Khorasan cavalry.

At this moment, the face of the prince of Bo Tiao can't be hung up, and the performance of the three thousand main cavalry is not as good as that of the local provinces, which is really a very faceless thing!

But there was no way to attack again, and the camp of the Han army was piled up with the corpses of the soldiers of the Kushan Empire, the corpses of war horses, and the corpses of war elephants, and there was no place to put their feet down.

Just when the prince of Bo was ruthless, planning to clean up the battlefield first, make room for it, and continue to attack, a unique horn sounded on the east and west sides of the battlefield at the same time.

This is the trumpet of the Han army, and the Han army has begun to use the trumpet instead of the horn to convey the message, so as long as you hear the trumpet, you will know that the Han army is coming.

The sudden appearance of the Han army caught Prince Bo off guard a little, although he had been looking for the main force of the Han army for a decisive battle, but it should not be on this occasion, this time!

The scouts of the damn waste didn't even send back any warning information, and it seemed that they had been wiped out by the Han army.

In the end, on his way home, a large group of Han cavalry also appeared in the southern field of vision, and looking at this posture, he actually surrounded himself.

It seems that this is the decisive battlefield chosen by the Han army for itself, and it took a lot of effort to set up a trap for himself, and he obediently got in.

However, he was not worried, according to the information he had, the Han army was only about 100,000, and the cavalry of Kangju did not exceed 200,000.
