In the city of Hua, Pulu Moyi IV learned that the Han army had only used 200,000 people to attack his own capital, and laughed in front of his ministers: "I have not heard from the Han for a long time, and twenty years ago I heard that the monks who went to the Han Kingdom said that the Han Dynasty was in civil strife, and the princes in various places were in dispute. Eighty-one? Chinese?? Net (1) ??.? 8. Can such a country accumulate strength in twenty years and dare to invade the place of my Great Tianzhu? With only 200,000 soldiers, how can they compete with the millions of soldiers in my Tianzhu Kingdom? The Han people are too ignorant and ignorant. ”

Prime Minister Namas said, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, today I received news from the Kushan Kingdom. The soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom had already besieged Früsha, and Vesudeva I ordered the soldiers and horses from all over the southern Kushan to assemble in Früsha. I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom entering the territory of Kushan have exceeded 300,000. ”

Purumi IV was surprised and said, "Is it possible for 300,000 horses to capture Kushan?" The population of Kushan is more than 10 million, and the soldiers are fierce, and there are millions of soldiers. ”

General Namashan said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Kushan and the newly emerging Sassanid Dynasty in Persia, as well as our great Tianzhu, have been fighting endless wars for many years, and the national strength has been seriously depleted. Our spies recently came to the information that the Han people captured the three cities in the north of Kushan, and only sent 150,000 horses, and General Pogu, the younger brother of Vesudeva I, led an army of 100,000 to the north to help, and was defeated by tens of thousands of Han troops, and Pogu was also taken prisoner by others. Your Majesty the Emperor, there are 200,000 troops in the three northern cities of Kushan, and although Hua Thorn Zimo is a vassal of Kushan, there are also more than 100,000 troops. From this point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Han army should not be underestimated. ”

Plamoyi IV was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close it, the Han army would not be so strong, the combat effectiveness of the Kushan people, compared with their own army, did not fall behind, but thinking about the strength of their country, Prumoyi still breathed a sigh of relief. Tianzhu is rich in products, and many dependent states have contributed a lot of things every year, and although the army has not been on the battlefield for many years, its strength is still good.

Purmoyi IV said: "Since the Kushan has transferred all the men and horses from the south to Flousha, I have ordered the army on the border of our country to send out and include the southern part of Kushan in my Tianzhu territory. ”

Namasian hurriedly said: "The Sassanid Ardashivan will not fail to see this, if our army goes to Kushan, I am afraid that there will be a conflict with the Sassanid Dynasty." ”

Namas said: "Over the years, Kushan has invaded a lot of land in the north of my Tianzhu Kingdom, and taking this opportunity to take it back can strengthen the prestige of our country, and let those slaves who rebelled against our great Emperor Majesty see how wise and powerful our Emperor Majesty is. ”

Namasyan said: "There are still 200,000 Han troops outside Hua's city, looking at us like tigers. If our country goes to war on both sides, in case it can't be supported, it will be exploited by the Han army. ”

Prumoyi IV said: "There are 400,000 troops in Hua's city, tens of thousands of war elephants, and there is a lot of spare strength to deal with 200,000 Han troops. No matter how bad it is, you can organize those damned slaves and let them fight with the Han army. By the way, the Brahgarni went out of the city to fight the Han army, but there was any news coming? ”

Namasjan said: "The Brahmani sent out 5,000 war elephants and 30,000 soldiers, and no news has yet reached the city. ”

Namas said: "How can the humble war horse of the Han army be the opponent of my Tianzhu war elephant. ”

Plamoi IV smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing how the great war elephants fight the war horses." ”

Namasyan said: "Why didn't His Majesty the Emperor personally go to the city gate tower to watch the battle? When our sergeants saw this, their morale was bound to rise sharply. ”

Purmoi IV laughed, "That's what I mean. ”

Shivadha looked at the vast area of thistle terrestris, and said to Brahavani with a bitter face: "General, when will so many black things be cleaned up?" ”

Bharjani shouted, "That's your business." ”

Deputy B clasped his hands together, muttered 'Amitabha', and said to Brahmani: "General, just now the Buddha gave me wisdom and said that there is a way to solve the black things on this earth. ”

Shivadha looked eagerly at Deputy B, and Bharjani said slowly, "What way? ”

Deputy B said: "General, although the spikes of this thing are sharp and limited in length, the Buddha said that as long as a thick plank is tied to the hooves of the war elephants, there will be no harm to our war elephants." ”

When the Brahgani heard this, the solution was good, and he took a deep look at Deputy B and said, "Great Buddha, wisdom is as deep as the sea. Shivadhara, go back to the city and bring the planks over. ”

Cao Cao stood on the wall, saw a group of men and horses leaving the rear of the enemy army, and said to the generals around him with a smile: "I guess, the enemy army has already thought of a way to deal with thistle." ”

The vultures asked, "How do you know?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The front army does not move, and the men and horses in the rear enter the city, they must take something to deal with the thistle." ”

The vultures said, "Why can't I guess? ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Lord of the Vulture Bone Country, the old man has been in battle for a long time, if he can't even guess this, how can he lead the army to fight?" ”

Meng Shu said: "If the enemy army has a way to deal with it, what should our army do? ”

Cao Cao said: "There are so many thistles, the enemy army is cleaned up, it is getting late, and when I come tomorrow, I have my own way." ”

Shivadhara's efficiency is still quite high, half a day's work, fetched the plank, and it is difficult for him to think of drilling small holes in each of the four corners of the plank and putting on a rope.

When the Bharjani saw this, he was overjoyed, patted Shivadha on the shoulder and said, "Hard work. "Shivadhara's heart is so upset.

The five thousand war elephants were soon tied to the four hooves of the planks, and the brahgani shouted: "Attack! ”

The war elephant opened its four hooves and began to walk, and under the continuous urging of the elephant slaves, it slowly increased, surging towards the Han army camp. Cao Cao was also surprised when he heard that the Tianzhu people had solved the thistle terrestris so quickly, and hurriedly came to the walled wall again, and saw the elephant facing the tide, and secretly wondered, can this walled wall block the impact of the elephant?

Cao Zhang and the others were all shocked, and asked anxiously: "The enemy army is fierce, how to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao sneered: "You take a closer look, the elephant is running, have you ever been firm? ”

When the generals looked, they saw that the elephant had a wooden plank tied to its feet, and the wooden board was full of thistle, which was originally more than four fingers thick, and with the addition of thistle, the thickness increased to one palm, just like a person walking on stilts, running, crooked, quite laborious.

Cao Cao said: "The bed crossbow hangs a gunpowder bag to attack. ”

Cao Zhang asked, "Why don't you use wild bees anymore?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The time has not yet come. ”

The iron arrow screamed and pounced into the herd of war elephants, and the gunpowder exploded, and the war elephants were stunned for a moment, and then began to charge again.

Cao Cao said: "Stone-throwing carts, throwing fire bombs." ”

Fire bombs are made by wrapping a tarpaulin around a huge rock, lighting it and throwing it. With Cao Cao's order, hundreds of fireballs rose into the air and smashed into the running elephant. The boulder fell in the air, and no matter how huge the elephant's body was, it couldn't stand the impact of this huge force, and it fell into a large area, and the elephant that was not dead for a while let out a burst of wailing. After the fire bomb landed, it rolled in all directions, and although the war elephants had been trained, they also panicked when they saw this, and the formation began to disperse.

Under the double attack of bed crossbows and stone-throwing carts, the war elephants suffered thousands of casualties in less than an hour. Seeing that the Han army was well defended, the Brahgari had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army if they let the war elephants rush forward again, causing more casualties.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that although this elephant is powerful, there is still a way to defeat it except for the use of wild bees. Thinking that the enemy army would retreat, it would definitely come back, so he called King Mulu and told him carefully.

When Prumayi IV saw the defeat of the Brahmani retreating into the city, his heart was filled with anger and he said to Namasan: "There are so many elephant soldiers, why did that hateful Brahgani retreat?" ”

Namasyan said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the intention of the Brahgari to send troops is only to test the combat strength of the Han army. As you can see, the weapons of the Han army are also sharp, and in just one hour, the war elephants have lost so much, and if they don't retreat, I'm afraid they will lose more than half. Now that the purpose of the temptation has been achieved, there is no need to fight hard. Brahmani did this with courage and strategy. ”

Pulu Moyi IV turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you already have a plan to defeat the Han army, General?" ”

Namasyan said, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Han army camp stretches to such a large place, if the army in my city dispatches 300,000 and 30,000 war elephants to attack around the Han army's village, how can the Han army deal with it? Once a camp is broken through, with the impact of elephants, the Han army camp can be flattened in an instant. ”

Prumoyi IV laughed, "General Namasyan, if you defeat the Han army, I will reward you with 10,000 gold and 500 slave beauties." ”

Namath was overjoyed and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I promise with my head that tomorrow I will defeat these hateful Han troops and drive them to the far east. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, 30,000 war elephants and more than 200,000 foot soldiers poured out from the gates and caves in Hua's city, and after assembling in the wilderness, they came towards the Han army camp. The thistle terrestris in front of Dazhai has long been stuck to the wooden plank by yesterday's war elephants, or trampled into the mud. This time, Namasyan personally commanded, and it was necessary to complete the battle. When he came to the camp of the Han army, he commanded the men and elephants to attack separately.

Bharjani said, "General, this is not the case. ”

Namasyan said, "What's wrong? ”

Brahgani said: "How can there be no figure on the wooden wall of the Han army? ”

Namasjan said, "Let people come and see." ”

After a while, the person who checked it came back and said, "General, the Han army has withdrawn, leaving only an empty camp. ”

Riding on a tall war elephant, Namasian looked around, only to see that not far to the east, the flag was flashing, moving in a northeasterly direction. Brahgani said, "Could it be that the Han army was afraid of our army and withdrew its troops overnight?" ”

Namasyan said: "Pursue, be sure to drive the Han army out of my Tianzhu country." ”
