Chapter 368: The enemy battle is like a true dragon

Although the First Infantry Corps led by Spartacus has not been in the army for a long time, only three or four years, this army has won every battle along the way, and has long cultivated an unyielding military spirit.

All the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment were originally slaves enslaved by the cochin nobles and landlords.

Originally, they did not have enough food and clothing, but since they joined the army, not to mention eating and drinking, everyone has their own land and houses, and even many people have wives and children, which is a good thing that they could never dream of before.

Now that the army of the Zhenla Empire has invaded on a large scale, burning and looting everywhere, which is tantamount to destroying their homeland, how can these soldiers endure it?

Every soldier who rushed into the camp of Zhenla rushed to kill with all his might, and their minds involuntarily recalled the impassioned words of General Spartacus before setting off.

"The 1st Infantry Regiment is the pride of Cochin, and we have never been defeated! But not long ago, we faced those bastards of the Zhenla Empire, we didn't defend our homeland, and countless compatriots were killed! Countless women and children have been taken away and humiliated! This is an eternal shame for our First Legion! Now we have a chance to clear the shame and tell me, what are we going to do? ”

"Kill all the real people!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

All the soldiers of the First Legion chanted with red eyes.

The infantrymen, who were like being beaten with chicken blood, waved their weapons in their hands and turned off their weapons, killing every enemy that appeared in their field of vision, and the Zhenla warriors who were awakened were completely lost their fighting spirit in the face of these crazy enemies, and they could only run wolf-like, and the screams in the camp were endless.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps from the rear of the camp of Chenla, and then under the light of the sparkling fire, hundreds of war elephants with sharp blades tied to their tusks and armor were driven out by the elephant soldiers.

On the flat ground, as long as the war elephant herd began to charge, there was nothing to stop them, Spartacus saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Come with me!" ”

Hundreds of spear-wielding soldiers followed Spartacus, with the clear aim of stopping the charge of the elephant herd as quickly as possible.

Zhenla's elephant soldiers also knew the other party's intentions, so the general led by him gave a vicious order, and all the elephant soldiers drew their conical daggers and stuck them in the buttocks of the war elephants.

In normal times, the Chenla people cherish their elephants, but now is the time of the race, so they choose to stimulate these elephants with blood and pain.

The wounded war elephants hissed in pain, and they began to run forward from slow to fast in a frenzy, and not far in front of them were Spartacus and the others who were galloping over.

"Throw a spear!" Seeing that the charge of the war elephant herd was unstoppable, Spartacus did not retreat but advanced, and shouted loudly.

Spears were thrown at the charging war elephants, and these soldiers, who had been taught spear throwing skills by Spartacus himself, killed dozens of war elephants in an instant, but unfortunately, the remaining war elephants were still accelerating their charge.

Spartacus gritted his teeth, brandished the short sword of both hands and was about to continue to charge, no matter how powerful a human wanted to hedge against the war elephant, without thinking too much, the consequences would not be too good.

Just as Spartacus and the soldiers who followed him were only more than ten meters away from the galloping war elephants, several strange cries suddenly sounded from behind them.

Although the sound of these strange cries was not loud, but in this noisy battlefield it was clear and abnormal, after hearing this majestic and immature voice, the furious charging war elephant herd suddenly froze, and then immediately stopped the pace, the huge inertia made the elephant feet of these war elephants leave countless deep ditches on the mud ground.

Spartacus and the soldiers also stopped, and they looked at the herd of war elephants that were close at hand but suddenly stopped, not knowing what was really happening.

Everyone looked back, only to see Li Nan, who was wearing Valyrian black armor, striding forward, and on his shoulders stood two strange animals with fleshy wings, only about half a meter long.

Li Nan stopped in front of the herd of war elephants, stretched out his hand to point at these tall and mighty war elephants, and whispered to the two young dragons, and then the two little ones roared forward with some anger.

The war elephants that stood still and did not dare to move, when they heard their calls, immediately trembled, turned around and fled for their lives.

The Zhenla people, who thought they could rely on the war elephants to charge and defeat the Song army, saw that the war elephants they had domesticated suddenly rushed back, and they suddenly showed a look of horror, and hurriedly shouted loudly, wanting them to stop, but unfortunately the war elephants that had been frightened did not have any intention of stopping, and rushed past......

Spartacus, who fled for his life, knelt down on one knee and said to Li Nan: "Thank you master for saving your life!" ”

Although the rest of the soldiers didn't know what was going on, as soon as Li Nan appeared, he frightened away the fierce war elephant herd, and this unexplained miracle made many soldiers present immediately kneel on the ground, and kowtow again and again to thank Li Nan for saving him.

Li Nan raised his head and said: "Get up, the battle is not over yet, I hope everyone will fight with me to kill the enemy!" ”

The battle of the camp of the Zhenla army was fought from midnight to sunrise in the east, and finally ended.

The tents were in flames, the camp was in shambles, bloody corpses were everywhere, and thousands of soldiers were digging large pits with steel shovels.

Groups of soldiers carefully searched the battlefield with spears in hand, and when they encountered a Zhenla who still had a breath, they would make up for a spear, and then drag all the corpses of Zhenla to the edge of the pit and throw them down.

Li Nan sat in front of the fire, looking coldly at Miao Lun, the general of the Zhenla army, who was kneeling in front of him, and a few generals under him.

With his hands tied behind his back, Miao Lun, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head, big drops of cold sweat continued to drip from his face, and the single clothes on his body were also soaked with sweat.

As if he couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, Miao Lun raised his head and said with a forced smile: "General Li, as long as you are willing to raise your noble hand, I am willing to take out a hundred catties of gold to thank you." ”

"Huh."

Li Nan sneered a few times, grabbed a few packages found from Miao Lunshuai's tent, and returned them heavily.

In the loud noise, rings, earrings, necklaces, hairpins, and all kinds of ornaments made of gold were scattered in front of Miao Lun.

Pointing to these gold ornaments that were still stained with blood, Li Nanyu said with murderous intent: "Are you talking about the gold that you snatched from the hands of my Jiaozhi people?" ”

Seeing that it was no longer possible to ask for soft words, Miao Lun showed a hideous look on his face, and argued loudly: "War has been like this since ancient times, why should General Li pretend to be a good person, if your army invades my Zhenla Empire, won't it do the same?" ”

"No!"

Li Nan pointed to the soldiers around him and retorted: "We are different, after I led the troops to Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and Dali, I did not rape ** women like you, kill people and plunder property." All the people of these three lands in my realm are living better than before, otherwise these former slaves would not have fought to the death for me. You are an unforgivable sin! ”

Ignoring Miao Lun's plea for mercy, Li Nan shouted loudly: "Those who hurt my people will be killed!" ”

Hearing these blood-boiling words, whether it was Li Nan's followers or ordinary soldiers, everyone present shouted in unison: "Those who hurt my people will be killed!" ”

Spartacus dragged Miao Lun up, and the soldiers dragged the other Jinla generals away, and soon their screams rang out near the pit that was still being dug.

Soon after dawn, the details of casualties and prisoners on both sides of the battle were reported to Li Nan.

In this battle, more than 30,000 Zhenla war elephants and more than 4,000 elephant slaves were captured, and more than 75,000 Zhenla elephant soldiers who fought with the war elephants were all killed under Li Nan's killing order.

These elephant slaves are the lowest slaves in the Zhenla country, and their duty is to serve the war elephants, and the treatment of these humble elephant slaves in the Zhenla country is not even as good as those war elephants.

Because the elephant slaves did not directly participate in the battle, and there was no blood on their hands, and their lowly status in the army also made it impossible for them to touch the captive Jiaozhi and Great Song women, so Li Nan decided to spare their lives.

Spartacus's first army also lost nearly 2,000 men after several battles, but compared to the Zhenla, the battle of Shanluo City was an absolute victory.

The battle of tens of thousands of people could not hide from anyone, and the general Ge Danwei, who soon invaded the city, and the general Marato, who attacked Dali, all knew the news of the battle of Shanluo City.

The 40,000 war elephant army led by Miao Lun was completely annihilated, although they did not know the specific situation, but Godanway and Marato both retreated, and hurriedly led their troops to withdraw from Dali and Zhancheng, preparing to join forces and make plans again.

The Miao Lun War Elephant Army, which had just won the battle elephant army of the Zhenla Empire, was discussing the next battle plan with everyone in Shanluo City, when a team of messengers from Guangyuan Prefecture came here in a hurry.
