In this test, considering the strong collision force of the elephant herd, Li Nan specially ordered people to arrange three rejection horses, and also arranged fifty crossbowmen and fifty grenadiers on both sides of the hillside. Ｘ

At the beginning of the battle, the crossbowmen fired continuously, but with the exception of a few powerful arrows from the crossbows that hit the elephant's vital points, the rest of the attack was completely blocked by the elephant's hard skin, and the wounded elephant began to become angry.

The grenadiers then threw a large number of grenades, and although they broke the legs of several elephants on the spot, the other elephants went berserk and suddenly began to charge at a speed of 30 km/h.

The power of the elephant charge lies in their tremendous strength, and the remaining few frantic elephants easily broke the three rejection horses and galloped all the way along the road.

Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, looking at the elephants in the distance, everyone could imagine that if any army was rejected from the horse, they would be trampled into meat by the mad herd.

After half a ring, Li Nan sighed faintly: "The power of this elephant is a little unexpected!" ”

Lu Zhishen pointed to the winding road and said: "That's true, and the mountain roads in this southern area are narrow, although the elephants after going crazy don't recognize their six relatives, they will give priority to attacking forward, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

Everyone paid attention to different points, and looked at the fragments of the horse rejection stakes that flew more than ten meters away, Spartacus said: "Such an elephant herd impact, not to mention the infantry without armor protection, even the heavy infantry can't stop it. ”

Li Nan shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible to fight like this, once our formation is broken, then we will be defeated, bring the map!" ”

After putting the map on the ground and carefully examining it for a long time, Li Nan moved his finger to a place more than 20 miles south of Guangping City and said, "What do you think of this place as a battlefield? ”

Everyone looked at the place pointed by Li Nan, and after a moment of silence, Lin Chong said: "There is a narrow road more than thirty meters long between the two hills here, which is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, but if the enemy directly sends an elephant herd to attack, it can easily break our formation. ”

When Li Nan heard this, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, I just want them to attack with elephants!" ”

Then Li Nan explained to the generals in detail, and when they heard his plan, everyone praised in unison, and hurriedly took people to this pre-booked battlefield to prepare.

Time passed slowly, and the 50,000 army led by Li Changjie slowly approached Guangyuan Prefecture, and Li Nan's side was also in full swing in pre-war mobilization.

The captured Cochins and other slaves who took refuge showed great enthusiasm for battle.

In fact, it is no wonder that they were originally enslaved in every way under the rule of the Li Dynasty, living a life without dignity, without private property, and in precariousness.

And here in Li Nan, although they have to serve in the military and labor, they eat well and sleep well, and everyone now has several acres of precious private land, which they couldn't think of before, are enough for them to work hard.

The rat king Xiaobai caught by Li Nan is not a waste that can only eat and drink for nothing, it has eaten a lot of good things from Li Nan during this time, and it is also a little embarrassed, so it took the initiative to undertake the reconnaissance task.

A large number of rats were sent out by Xiaobai, and except for a few unlucky ones who were eaten by natural predators such as snakes and owls, most of the rats were working hard.

With these little secret scouts, Li Nan knows all the moves of the Jiaozhi army now, and even the secret matter of whether Li Changjie is standing or squatting to pee has been passed back, after all, no one will guard against those extremely ordinary mice.

Although knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent cannot be said to be invincible in a hundred battles, at least the winning rate has increased a lot.

Li Nan, who was fully prepared, took the generals and all the soldiers to the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain pass just now, set up three large camps, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Jiaozhi army.

----------------

Standing in front of the camp on the left side of the mountaintop, Li Nan and the others watched the Jiaozhi army.

This time, the army led by Li Changjie should be the elite of the Li Dynasty.

From a distance, tens of thousands of Jiaozhi infantry are protected by armor and helmets, and their swords and guns are bright, far from being comparable to the kind of slave soldiers who only hold bamboo spears, and there are thousands of archers in the team, and Li Nan even saw thousands of precious cavalry.

What shocked everyone the most was not these legions, but the army of war elephants that slowly walked in front of the Cochin army, numbering more than a thousand.

The behemoth, which is five or six meters long, about three meters tall, and weighs four or five tons, is armed like a war fortress by the Cochins.

These elephants are tied with sharp knives on the two fangs that are more than a meter long on the side of their mouths, and they are protected by armor at the vital points of their abdomen, and they carry a wooden elephant that can carry three warriors.

Hearing and seeing are two different things, and it was the first time Li Nan had seen such a docile large animal, artificially transformed into a fierce war machine.

Just by imagining, you can know what kind of situation will happen when these thousand elephants charge wildly, and maybe only tanks that do not exist in this era can fight them face to face.

At this time, he was on the verge of the city, and it was too late to say anything, Li Nan only hoped that the battle plan he had designated could succeed, otherwise he would have only one way to escape.

After all, Li Changjie is a veteran of the battlefield, so he first sent worthless slave soldiers to tentatively attack the three large camps on the hills on both sides and the mountain pass in the middle.

Although Li Nan felt some pity for these slaves who were used as cannon fodder, now was not the time for mercy, and the condescending archers began to exert their might, and countless arrows were fired at the unprotected slave soldiers, followed by grenades thrown by the grenadiers......

The role of 5,000 slave soldiers was to consume tens of thousands of arrows and hundreds of grenades in Li Nan's army, and in this era, a person's life was so humble and cheap.

After testing the defensive capability of Li Nan's army, Li Changjie issued a new order, and the herd of war elephants at the forefront of the army began to prepare for an attack.

Obviously, Li Changjie plans to make a quick decision, and directly use the War Elephant Legion to break through the mountain pass and rush into the hinterland of Guangyuan Prefecture at any cost, which is equivalent to cutting off Li Nan's rear, and then Li Nan and everyone will become turtles in the urn, and there is no way to retreat at all.

This Jiaozhi military god does have a set, he is experienced and vicious in his soldiers, and he is decisive in killing, but Li Nan is not an ordinary person, he has thousands of years of knowledge more than all the people in this era.

The herd of war elephants slowly began to move, and the dull footsteps resounded on both sides of the pass, like war drums.

The Cochin people were also afraid that the war elephants would turn around and recoil if they were frightened, so they lit a semi-circular ring of fire as soon as the elephants left, which could both force the herd forward and prevent them from turning back.

Thousands of war elephants, under the persecution of elephant slaves, ran from slow to fast, and rushed straight to the camp of Li Nanjun between the two mountains...... r
