Chapter 505: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot (Second Update)
But at this moment, behind almost every one of them, a dark figure suddenly appeared, holding a short blade unique to the Huns.
Just as the people sitting on the back of the elephant were about to put the flute to their mouths again, they only felt as if there was some sound behind them, but before they could turn back, most of them had already ended up with a separation.
Aren't these people the same dragon who braved a very big crisis to pull out his teeth in the tiger's mouth and his two hundred cronies?
According to Long Ji's previous arrangement, these two hundred people are a group, Long Ji himself also participated, they lay in ambush in a corner, waiting for the elephants to pass one by one, when the elephants pass by and just slow down to change direction, they have to desperately climb onto the elephant's body, and then not be discovered by the enemy, waiting for the right opportunity to kill the people on the elephant's back.
Although this plan does not seem to be very difficult, it is very difficult to climb up from the elephant's legs, and it is not necessary to arouse the elephant's alarm when going up, otherwise if one person is discovered, it may affect his comrades.
In this process, even those warriors who were very agile in their hands, some did not grasp the fleeting opportunity, and dozens of people failed to successfully climb the body of the elephant, and dozens of people died tragically in the trampling of the elephant.
But even so, sixty or seventy elephants were still occupied by the dragon and his warriors. And they waited for the moment they wanted, and that was when the elephants were about to block the Huns' cavalry between the elephants and the enemy's infantry.
At this time, the elephant was still a little far away from the cavalry, and according to the idea of these elephant manipulators of the Mauryan Dynasty, at this time, as soon as the flute was played, the elephant began to slow down, and it happened to clamp these cavalry.
But the commander of the entire seventy elephants was directly killed on the back of the elephant by Long Ji and others.
At this time, Long Ji's lieutenant general is leading the rest of the cavalry to the other party's waiting foot soldiers, according to Long Ji's statement, you must be within a stone's throw before you can turn around and run to the periphery, although the deputy general doesn't know why, let alone know whether Long Ji's actions can be successful, but he knows that he must do what Long Ji tells him.
The lieutenant also knew that if the elephants had stopped not far away when he turned with the cavalry, he would block the route of some of his sergeants, and once that situation occurred, the infantry on the opposite side would also be relieved to attack him boldly, and once such a situation appeared, the cavalry that could run out would probably not even have 10,000.
But just as he ordered all the cavalry to turn their horses, all of a sudden, the neighing of the elephants behind him was a little wrong, and he hurriedly looked back to see that the elephants that had been chasing after the soldiers under his command were running forward even faster, except for a few twenty or thirty who gradually slowed down.
"Quickly turn and retreat, retreat quickly!"
The lieutenant general of the dragon gave the order, and at the same time was excited to retreat first, this time difference was really good, when most of the cavalry turned around and ran, those elephants who didn't know why blindly rushed forward would only rush into the ranks of those Peacock Empire's foot soldiers, and this situation was undoubtedly what they wanted to see the most.
Indeed, seventy or eighty elephants were running forward in a frenzy, their eyes filled with anger that they had never felt before, as if they were about to destroy everything they could touch.
And isn't it Long Ji and his elite team that caused such a result?
After killing the person who commanded the elephant on the elephant's back, Long Ji and the others simply did not stop using the blade to cut several scars on the elephant's body, although the scars were not very deep, but they could make the elephant go crazy, and then run madly in front of him, and then destroy almost everything in front of him.
After doing this, Long Ji and the others had already jumped off the back of the elephant, although this separation from the elephant also caused many soldiers to suffer some injuries, but they were still gathering together after breaking away from the elephant, because according to Long Ji, he had other plans.
There were originally 200 people, and after completing this mission, there were almost 112 people left, and many of them were injured, which is enough to see the arduousness of this mission.
"This plan has been considered a success, but this mere hundred elephants, for these Mauryan Dynasty soldiers can not cause a very big blow, Shan Yu and Daqin's General Han Xin are watching us not far away at this time, once they get my signal, they will lead the remaining 80,000 troops to attack here, but before that, I still have an idea, if it can really be realized, we can capture the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty tonight!"
After hearing Long Ji's words, all the remaining soldiers were very shocked, and they agreed to Long Ji without any hesitation.
Then. Long and told his plan, and then the group quietly disappeared into the night.
At this time, the battle was obviously reversed again, and the Mauryan army, which had planned to see how the 20,000 Hun cavalry was attacked from both sides, suddenly found that they were almost enough to enter their own attack range and turned around.
Not only that, but the elephants behind them were still running forward desperately even though the enemy had already begun to flee, and the targets of these two attacks were gone, but it became a hard confrontation between the elephants and the foot soldiers of the Mauryan Empire.
"What, a hundred elephants suddenly burst into our own ranks of foot soldiers out of control?"
What happened outside the city would be passed to the relics every short period of time, and the previous few times, all of them were how the invading cavalry was chased by the elephants of the Mauryan Dynasty, and how the invading cavalry was shot by the archers on the arrow tower, but this time, all of a sudden, it became a great situation, and the elephants suddenly lost control and rushed directly into the formation of their own infantry.
Of course, Sarija knew that this was not a joke, he knew how powerful the elephant was, if the cavalry still had some room to escape, but if the infantry was over, it would be almost impossible to even have time and space to escape.
"Send the sergeants who train the elephants to stop the elephants! I, the Mauryan Empire, spend so much money on them every year, they have to make a difference in a moment like this! ”
The words of the relics are also very hard, but at such a time, hardness is useless.
In fact, when the elephants were just out of control, the remaining sergeants who trained the elephants had already received the news, but none of them could come up with any constructive suggestions to deal with the elephants that were driving away their own sergeants.
According to them, the problem will be solved by the time the hundred elephants run into the nearby forest, but even their own companions know that they are like farting.
A hundred elephants ran out, in fact, they were not very worried, so they dared to say these irresponsible words here, because in their hearts, these hundred were gone, and there were not seven or eight hundred left in the camp?
But a terrible news had already come when they had just said this.
"General, for some reason, the gate of our barracks with elephants suddenly opened, and the elephants in the camp suddenly became a mess, and many of them had already rushed out of the camp!"
"How can this be, hurry back to the camp to check!"
Suddenly, the general in charge of the elephant camp who was wandering around the front line got a message that made him shiver, because the cavalry in the battalion had been transferred out to cooperate with the elephants before, and they had been on the front line at this time to observe the loss of control of the hundred elephants, and there were basically no serious sergeants in the camp except for some elephants, if there was any problem in the camp at this time, the people inside would almost not be able to control anything.
This time, his worries had become a reality again, Long He took more than a hundred people under his command, and took advantage of the chaos to blend into the camp, what they had to do was actually very simple, that is, to open the fence and the gate of the camp where the elephants were closed, and then picked up the flutes in the hands of those who commanded the elephants, and blew them indiscriminately for a while.
Sure enough, the elephants became very manic after hearing some unknown sounds, and began to rampage through the camp one by one, and they observed for a while, and found that at least dozens of elephants had rushed out of the gate of the camp, and the gate had been almost destroyed, so they were relieved to leave with people and go to join their own army.
And at this time, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, who were hidden in the shadows, had already discovered the chaos outside Fahrenheit City, and their heartbeats had become very fast, they knew that this was the credit of Long Ji, and they also knew that this night was likely to be the moment when they made a feat that they had never thought of in their lives, and achieved an achievement that they had never thought of before in this life, but they couldn't rush out, according to the previous discussion of the three people, they had to wait for Long Ji's signal.
When Long Ji and his men and the Hun cavalry converged, the outside of Fahrenheit City was even more chaotic, with elephants rampage in all directions, and more elephants were about to join in.
Long He knew that even if this was the case, the cavalry he brought out this time would not be of much use, and now they only had fifteen thousand left, even with the help of elephants, it would be difficult to break through the gates of Fahrenheit City like this.
Faced with such an opportunity, Long He knew that he had to let Han Xin and Xiang Yu come over, he had been on the verge of life and death several times, and had completed all the things he could, and the next thing, his own human ability would not be able to do it, and he had to come over with those two characters who didn't know how much more powerful than himself.
And on paper, even if a cavalry of 15,000 is a strong kill, there is no possibility of killing 300,000 foot soldiers, but a cavalry of 100,000 is completely different, not to mention that they still have the cooperation of hundreds of elephants, right?
Long Ji weighed it slightly, then picked up a huge Qin crossbow, placed a special arrow on top of the Qin crossbow, and fired it in the direction where Han Xin and Xiang Yu were.
Xiang Yu and Han Xin were already about to suffocate, what they were waiting for was Long Ji's moment, after seeing the signal, they immediately ordered the cavalry under their command, this time, the whole army was dispatched.
Because according to Xiang Yu's previous order to Long Ji, if there is no possibility of breaking through Fahrenheit City, do not release such a signal, because such a signal will expose the entire strength of their wave of men and horses to the eyes of the enemy.
When Xiang Yu and Han Xin led their men down the mountain, they saw an unforgettable scene, the city that symbolized the supreme power of the Mauryan Dynasty was already in chaos.
A large number of Mauryan foot soldiers no longer know where to go, and behind them, there are one crazy elephant after another, these should be used to protect this city, but now, they are obviously bringing this city, or even this dynasty, to ruin.
Xiang Yu and Han Xin didn't rush to attack after seeing such a scene, but were ready to watch the good show that happened in front of their eyes, because at this time they really didn't need to get involved, and the elephant would help them accomplish many things they wanted to do.
Xiang Yu found Han Xin and Long Ji, because he had already seen that in such a situation, when they needed to make a move, 100,000 cavalry in one place would be much more effective than 20,000 or 30,000 people.
And Xiang Yu and Han Xin have already seen from each other's eyes that this night is likely to be a night that will be recorded in history, and at the same time, they also saw from each other's eyes the pity for this empire whose original strength was really no less than that of Great Qin, they really want to see what kind of mediocre monarch lives in this royal city, so that an empire can be given to Huo Huo like this, and after thinking about Yinggao, the expressions on their faces are different.
