Ringing drums swept past the elephants, and the sounds of whistling came and went, but they did not have the desired effect of the Zhou army: the enemy war elephants were completely indifferent to these sounds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Faming, who had an arrow stuck in his body, looked at a group of behemoths in front of him in wonder, according to the records of the history books, the war elephants looked mighty but they were very timid, and they were afraid of loud noises, so it stands to reason that the whistling sound of the beetle can disturb the elephants.

In the Han Dynasty, the general Fubo Ma Yuan, the story of pacifying Jiaozhi is not to be said for the time being, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the general Zong Yu led the troops to crusade against the Linyi country, and fought a decisive battle with the king of Linyi, who was sitting on hundreds of war elephants, and the solution to the other party's war elephants was very simple: scare.

When the two armies fought, in the face of the tide of war elephants, the Song army posed as fake lions and then imitated the roar of the lion, which frightened the war elephants of Linyi Kingdom and fled, and collapsed directly.

Therefore, it is certain that the war elephants are timid and afraid of loud noises, why are these war elephants in front of them so 'calm and calm', and they are deaf to the whistling sound of the Ming Di?

Zhou Faming led the cavalry to roam around the periphery of the slowly advancing herd of war elephants, and had already fired several rounds of chirping, but with little success, and they kept blowing horns or special bamboo whistles, trying to scare the war elephants with a harsh sound, but still to no avail.

Zhou cavalry is attacking, Chen Jun war elephants on the back of the archers are not idle, they do not stop arrows to disperse these annoying "flies", because the hand is holding a foot bow, its range is farther than riding a bow, so after a pair of shots, Zhou cavalry almost everyone with arrows.

Although he had heavy armor and one or two arrows in his body was not a big problem for the cavalry, Zhou Faming still beckoned his subordinates to leave the battlefield, because he figured out that there was something wrong with the enemy's war elephants.

Either the ears of the war elephants are blocked, or the war elephants are simply deaf, so no matter how loud they make the noise, it is useless.

It's useless to scare with your voice, then make the war elephant hurt, the special long cone armor-piercing arrow, the arrow is two inches long, just ask if you are afraid!

The cavalry of the Zhou army adjusted their formation and continued to attack the war elephant herd, ignoring the arrows of the enemy's crossbowmen, and used special armor-piercing arrows to shoot the war elephants and elephant riders, but after shooting an unknown number of arrows, the effect was still very poor.

The war elephants of the Chen army came prepared, wearing heavy armor, and the enemy archers were specially sniping them, and some people were hit by several arrows but there was no major problem, and they were still handy in manipulating the war elephants.

Seeing that the effect was very poor, Zhou Faming hurriedly gathered his subordinates and retreated, and then changed to another tactic.

Chen Fozhi sat on the back of the elephant, watching the enemy cavalry around him constantly attack and harass, and all kinds of tricks were exhausted but there was nothing to be done but he could only retreat, and his heart was very happy

Although the number of war elephants is smaller, this is his treasure, and he will not be easily defeated by the other party.

Yes, elephants are timid and afraid of fire and loud noises, but trained war elephants always perform better than ordinary elephants when they go to battle, especially war elephants that have drunk anesthetic and have blocked ears!

The official army of the Central Plains occasionally defeated the elephant army in the south, and they proudly said that the war elephants were vulnerable, and as long as they put on a fake lion and ordered people to scream, they could scare hundreds of war elephants into turning around and running.

Can such a special case be taken seriously? Whoever believes will be unlucky!

What's so strange about elephants that don't have long-term training that perform poorly on the battlefield?

In the armies of all countries in the world, if the soldiers are ordinary people who have not been trained, and the next day after becoming a soldier, they have to go to the battlefield with weapons to cut people, what is the use of such soldiers?

The knife is not stable, the blood is faint, the arrow is shot in the face and the foot is weak, such a person will be scared away by the enemy when he shoots a few arrows or a charge!

You can't say that "people" are afraid of sound and pain, so it's easy to deal with, right? Untrained elephants will not be used on the battlefield!

When they train war elephants, they take into account the actual situation on the battlefield, so they often beat gongs and drums or make all kinds of strange noises to adapt the war elephants to various fright.

He also made all kinds of strange-shaped "monsters", dancing in front of the war elephants with sounds, and "training the courage" of the war elephants through these means.

Just in case, in the training on weekdays, the elephant's ears are also plugged so that they can adapt to obey the control of the rider in the case of deafness.

The elephant riders that Chen invited back from Funan were able to concoct a peculiar anesthetic, and after the war elephants drank water mixed with this anesthetic before going to battle, they were less sensitive to ordinary wounds.

With the thick leather armor, ordinary arrows cannot cause much damage to war elephants at all, and war elephants who drink anesthetic will not be frightened by some skin trauma, and the driver can control them normally.

Such a war elephant is not something that can be scared away by yelling or shooting a few arrows!

Therefore, the officers and troops of the Central Plains, when they encountered the kind of elephant army that was temporarily pulled out, could easily win, and they took advantage of the fact that the elephant army had not undergone long-term training, so they thought that the war elephants were all waste, so they were easy to bully.

Funan has been fighting with war elephants for hundreds of years, and has a lot of experience in the training and use of war elephants.

Beat a gong and drum and shoot a few arrows to drive away a war elephant? War elephants are really so easy to deal with, and Funan is full of food and supports thousands of war elephants to be the main force?

Thinking of this, Chen Fozhi looked at the periphery, the cavalry of the Zhou army had little effect in repeated attacks, and now he had retreated, but he did not rashly order to approach the large array of the Zhou army in the north, because his own war elephants still had weaknesses.

First of all, the effect of anesthetic is very short, and the combat time cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise the elephants will have to be fed water mixed with anesthetic on the spot.

Secondly, the crossbow is very lethal to war elephants, especially the fire bolts that are lit are even more powerful.

He had to beware that there was a big crossbow in the Zhou army's big array, that is, a big crossbow similar to the Chen army's Wanjun Divine Crossbow, which could easily penetrate the cowhide armor with arrows shot at a suitable distance, and the damage and pain it caused could not be tolerated by the war elephants who drank the anesthetic.

Therefore, Chen Fozhi did not dare to rashly let the war elephant advance north, once his elephant army entered the range of the Zhou army's crossbow, it would definitely not be able to withstand the concentrated shooting of the crossbow, and once the war elephant collapsed, a well-planned drama would be ruined.

Chen Fozhi's elephant army had already been stationed in the south of the woods between the east and west camps, and in order to keep the secret, he sent many soldiers to camp on the periphery to drive away the scouts of the Zhou army, in order to carry out the battle strategy drawn up by the governor Wang Meng and Madame Xian.

Now the official army led by Wang Meng is in the east, the slang soldiers led by Mrs. Xian are in the west, and the Zhou army in the north forms the word "product", and Chen Fozhi's elephant army is in the middle, everything is the same as the planned strategy, and the self-righteous Zhou army has taken the bait.

His elephant army had to wait for friendly troops on the east and west flanks to approach, and only after they had flank cover could they rush forward with confidence.

After all, no matter how much the war elephant is trained, the problem of fear of fire cannot be changed.

Chen Fozhi knew the weakness of his elephant army, so he was very cautious, and his wishful thinking was also crackling: when the friendly troops on the east and west wings bit the Zhou army's large array, a melee could make the big crossbow in the opponent's formation unable to fire, and his elephant army would be able to break through from the middle and trample on the enemy army more refreshingly.

This is also just in case, even if the war elephants are frightened out of control by the opponent's fire attack, but when they turn and flee backwards, that is, when they run south, their backs will be empty, and they will not rush their own people, and they will not harm the friendly troops on the left and right flanks.

The well-formulated combat strategy took into account the hidden dangers and details of all sides, and Chen Fozhi also participated in the formulation of the strategy, so he was very confident that his side would win in the end.

Then, one-legged bronze man Yu Wenwen, I will cast your corpse into a real one-legged bronze man!

With his mind decided, he looked at the battlefield again, and the cavalry of the Zhou army retreated, but the infantry of the Zhou army that had chased Feng Xuan had not retreated.

Is it a tiger head flag? Then I'll pull this thorn out first!
