The crescent moon is like a hook, and the cold moonlight pours down, sprinkling the silver glow all over the place, creating a cold night environment for Kunlun Pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the moonlight is cold, Lingnan in October is still only a little cold at night, and there is still no trace of winter during the day, and the weather is still hot and humid.

If it is in the northwest, in late October, it will already be a cold wind, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow in the northern scenery.

Standing on the towering Kunlun Gate Tower at night, the stars in the sky seem to be really low, and it seems that you can reach out and grab them. The Kunlun Pass standing on the Ancient Leak Mountain was silent at this time, except for the occasional patrol and movement of the soldiers on duty and the knocking sound of the fighting, there was no other sound.

"The galaxy is connected, and the mountains are quiet", which seems to be the most accurate description of Kunlun Pass at this time.

…………

The soldiers of the vanguard army are all resting in peace, and they are all seizing this rare and stable time to recuperate. Today, Di Shuai's messenger has come to report, tomorrow the Western army will be able to reach Kunlun Pass, a big battle is imminent, and it will be a big battle in the near future.

The soldiers have already rested, but Zhong Hao has not rested at this time, because Di Shuai will come tomorrow, so he must hurry up and write out the instructions on how to deal with the elephant soldiers, and present it to Di Shuai tomorrow.

Now he is not only the marching deputy Sima of the vanguard army, but he also has the dispatch of the Shuai Mansion Zanhua arranged by Di Shuai! You can't just hang on to your name and don't do anything, besides, this matter may be very revealing and will definitely win a lot of extra points in front of Di Shuai.

Zhong Hao sat at a small broken table in the small room he was in, closed his eyes and groaned, carefully recalling the article about elephants that later generations had learned. During the day, he only remembered a part of it, but when he calmed down, he remembered a lot.

The article says that elephants are afraid of unfamiliar things. If you see something you don't know about beasts, you will panic, and you will also cite a real example of war in the history of our country.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Zhenwu general of the Liu Song regime of the Southern Dynasty fought at Xiangpu with the state of Linyi in Vietnam. The war elephants of the Linyi Kingdom are numerous and powerful. So Zhenwu general Zongyu ordered his subordinates to make fake lions to resist the war elephants. Their fake lions are made of very high craftsmanship, and they can even confuse the real with the fake, and these war elephants think that the real lions are coming, so they scatter and flee. The Zhenwu general Zong Wei thus defeated the army of Linyi State.

The reason why Zhenwu's general Zongyu's method worked was because there were no lions in Southeast Asia, and these elephants had never seen a fierce beast like lions, so they would be subconsciously afraid.

In fact, it is not too accurate to say that elephants are afraid of lions, and it should be an active avoidance of danger. Because the elephant has a higher intelligence and is more intelligent, because when he sees something dangerous, he will take the initiative to dodge.

Elephants are different from horses in this regard.

The intelligence of the war horse is relatively low, and it is often able to spare no effort to charge into battle, even if the war horse in front is killed, the war horse in the rear can still charge continuously, as long as the training is good, even if it encounters a terrifying explosion and other loud noises, the war horse can still charge more than once!

The reason why war horses are like this is because horses in nature have the habit of following the leader to charge, and the horse's intelligence is not enough to judge what is happening in front of them, so they only care about charging like other horses.

But because the elephant is more intelligent, it is very sensitive to the battlefield environment, and its intelligence is enough to judge what is happening in front of it, and it will not continue to charge to die. At the same time, it is easy to be attracted by unfamiliar sounds, easily disturbed by various reasons, and then scatter and flee.

But elephants have higher intelligence, but relatively speaking, they are only higher than animals such as horses and cows, far inferior to primates such as monkeys and apes, and even less comparable to humans.

If the elephant were a little smarter, it might know that this was an illusion created by the enemy, but unfortunately, the elephant's intelligence was only enough for it to judge that there was an abnormality ahead, not enough to judge that it was deliberately made by the enemy on the other side. If the fake lion is realistic enough, the elephant will think it is real and develop a sense of fear.

If you make fake lions, fake tigers and other beasts to scare war horses, it will not work. Because the horses were stupid, they saw the horses in front of them charging, and they followed suit. At the same time, because the war horse is stupid, it is not sensitive to the battlefield environment, and even if the horse senses a change, it will follow the leader of the horse herd, so that the cavalry formation will not be chaotic. But this method is used to scare elephants, but it can be used completely. Because elephants are smarter than horses, they are more sensitive when they are smart, so there are more ways to deal with elephants, and it is easier to prescribe the right medicine.

In addition to using fake lions against war elephants, the article lists a number of other methods. For example, let the warriors cut the hamstrings of elephants with sharp short knives. Once an elephant's hamstring is cut, the elephant immediately falls down and loses its ability to fight. But sending soldiers close to the elephant soldiers and then cutting the hamstrings of the elephant is tantamount to the age of hot weapons, and having the soldiers blow up the enemy's tank tracks with explosives packs is a determination to die, and it takes several people in a row to rush up to abolish the elephant.

This is undoubtedly a very tragic method, Zhong Hao feels that it is better to not use it.

In fact, Zhong Hao felt that using the earth-shaking thunder and explosives bags to deal with the elephant troops of the Nong Army was the most effective way. Because he remembered that the information mentioned that in the era of hot weapons, war elephants could no longer charge on the battlefield, because elephants were more sensitive, and when they heard the sound of cannons, guns, and explosions, they would lose their formation and flee in all directions. Moreover, after the elephant is frightened, it will become confused and do not know its owner, so it will trample on the enemy and its own people equally. Therefore, since entering the era of hot weapons, elephant soldiers have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

During the day today, when Yang Huaiyu asked himself how to deal with the elephant soldiers, although Zhong Hao said that he might be able to use the sky-shaking thunder to deal with them, he was not very sure about the effect of this sky-shaking thunder against the nongjun elephants. After thinking of these materials, Zhong Hao is now very sure that the earth-shaking thunder and explosives package can deal with the elephant soldiers.

After sorting out the clue, Zhong Hao picked up the pen and began to write to Di Shuai.

Zhong Haotiao Chen Zhong proposed a method to deal with elephant soldiers, which should be based on earth-shaking thunder and explosives packs. In order to complete the strategy, it is also necessary to create some fake lions and other large beasts, and put them in front of the formation at that time to prevent war elephants from rushing into the formation of the Western army and causing damage.

As for the method of letting the warriors rush under the elephant and cut the hamstrings of the elephant with a sharp short knife, Zhong Hao thought about it and decided to write it. He is just a praise painting of the Shuaifu, just one of the staff officers. The staff officers thought of writing all the methods, and showed their own skills, as for whether to use it or not is the matter of the commander, the staff officers are only responsible for making as many ideas as possible. When the time comes, Di Shuai will definitely discuss with other counselors, and it will be their business to use this tragedy.

At that moment, Zhong Hao lowered his head and took this Chen in one fell swoop.
