"It's now!" Zhuge Liang ignored the danger, suddenly stood up and shouted. He knew that he had to stand up, he was the soul banner of the Shu army, and with him, the army's heart would be stable.

The herald understands and fires the arrow into the sky. The arrow exploded in the air, sending out colored smoke that dispersed through the air.

Meng Yan excitedly raised his big silk high and waved. Brothers, the prime minister is still there, hold on!

The Shu army, which was still a little shaken just now, was full of fighting spirit at this time, Jiang Wei was overjoyed and shouted: "The prime minister is not dead, the Han will win!" Kill! ”

Cao Rui saw that Zhuge Liang was hit by an arrow, but now he was not dead, his angry eyes were on fire, and he roared even more frantically to command the Wei army to press all the way.

The two sides were fighting each other, and suddenly the ground seemed to shake, rumble, rumble!

Could it be an earthquake?! Cao Rui was in confusion, and a pro-soldier pointed to the rear and shouted, "Look, what is that?" ”

When everyone heard the sound, they saw dust flying in the distance, and a group of behemoths suddenly ran out and were rapidly moving towards this side. The movement is so big, the earth is shaking, and the earthquake just now was actually caused by them!

"Elephant!" The well-informed Liu Ye couldn't help but blurt out, he couldn't believe his eyes, this is the Central Plains Plain, how can there be such a mountain and jungle thing?

"What is an elephant?" Cao Rui, who was born in the court since he was a child, had certainly never seen such a creature, and had not even heard of it.

Liu Ye replied puzzledly: "Your Majesty, the minister has seen this kind of animal in a book, the elephant is two zhang long, one zhang high, the limbs are thick and strong, the skin is thick and wrinkled, and there are long tusks that can be used as a defensive weapon. It is produced in the southern barbarians, likes mountains and jungles, and feeds on plants and trees. It's just that I don't know why it's in this plain land. ”

"Oh, such a huge thing, it's terrifying, why is it here?" Cao Rui was also confused, could it be that the battle here angered the mountain god, and he released a fierce beast to punish everyone?

When the elephant gradually approached, Liu Ye seemed to see someone on top of the elephant from a distance, suddenly woke up, and shouted, "Oh no, Your Majesty, this is not an elephant, but a war elephant!" Look, there is someone on the back of the war elephant, there must be some control, I'm afraid it's coming for us! ”

Cao Rui followed Liu Ye's point, and sure enough, he found that there were four or five people sitting on the back of the elephant. The first person is Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians. It turned out that there were 500 war elephants and more than 2,000 elephants who went north with Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang didn't want people to know the truth and reality, so he kept people hiding the war elephant in the forest outside the city, and agreed with Meng to get a signal, and when he saw colored smoke in the sky, he led the army to kill.

"I see!" Liu Ye patted his head and suddenly said, "I understand!" This is Zhuge Liang's war elephant, and the sound and smoke just now are the signal for help! The minister once heard that Zhuge Liang went south to conquer Nanzhong, obtained a lot of Nanban materials, and recruited a large number of barbarian soldiers, and promoted many Nanban wealthy families to enter the Shu Han court to hold important positions. The Southern Barbarians are prolific war elephants, and this thing must have also been supplemented into the Shu army formation along with the barbarian soldiers! ”

Cao Rui was shocked, "Then why didn't I see him participate in the war just now!" ”

Liu Ye said hatefully, "This must be Zhuge Liang's reserved move, he saw that our army was attacking him with all his might, so he planned to induce our army to invest all its combat strength, until His Majesty transferred the Wuwei army around him......"

"Treat him in the way of others", Cao Rui read silently. Zhuge Liang is really treacherous, he expects that I will join the Armed Guards in a hurry, and when I am the weakest, I will throw a fatal blow! It's over, it's over...... The great cause of the Wei State...... There was a "buzz" sound in Cao Rui's head, and he began to go blank, and he fainted to the ground all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty!!" Man Chong, Liu Ye and others hurriedly called for the medical officer to treat Cao Rui, and a group of people were frightened and at a loss.

"Metropolitan Governor, what should I do!" Tunqi Captain Cao Zhao was anxious, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Manzhong's coat and asked.

"This ....." is quite difficult.

"The Metropolitan Governor does not need to hesitate, the most important thing at the moment is to defend His Majesty. Quickly gather all the generals to come back to help, as for Zhuge Liang....... Let's fight again in the future. Liu Ye obviously saw the difficulties of the full favor.

"Yes, yes, quickly summon all the generals to come back to help, if Your Majesty is unlucky, what kind of battle will we fight, I won't live anymore!" Cao Zhao actually cried as he spoke.

Full Favor is still a little embarrassed, Cao Rui is unconscious, and the highest official position at the moment is him, the governor. But if you really want to order back reinforcements, according to the current situation, this battle cannot be fought, and the next step is to withdraw the army. If Cao Rui wakes up and investigates this crime, I'm afraid that a few heads will not be enough to cut off.

"Please consider the three armies and the Great Wei, and give the order quickly. If His Majesty asks questions, I will bear the blame for it! Liu Ye finally said the key.

"What's that called?" Manzhong was excited by Liu Ye, and was filled with righteous indignation for a while, "How can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and disregards the safety of the country!" ”

Man Chong hesitated for a while, and finally ordered Cao Shuang, Xiahou Ba and Sun Li, the governor of the Chinese army, to come back to help, and ordered Chen Tai and Chen Qian, the governors of the left and right of the rear army, to change the rear team into the front team to cover the safe evacuation of the army, and the most important thing was to protect Cao Rui. Zhuge Liang dared to set an example as bait, but Man Zhong and others didn't dare to be sloppy with Cao Rui.

"Kill!" Meng Shu commanded the war elephants to rampage through the crowd of the Wei army, as if they were in a no-man's land. His Majesty has a weapon tied to each elephant and can hammer the enemy. The elephant was dressed in armor and carried five men on its back, one of whom drove the elephant and the other four were responsible for throwing short spears and firing arrows. The huge size of the war elephants caused a huge psychological shadow to the Wei army, and any shield phalanx was vulnerable in front of them, and with the thick elephant skin, the Wei army's bows and arrows and spears were not against them at all. The soldiers of the Wei army had never seen such a behemoth, and they were often terrified before the battle, so although the number of war elephants was small, it also caused a lot of impact on the Wei army.

"That's Cao Rui's Daxu, brothers, kill me!" Meng Shu saw Cao Rui's banner from a high place, and commanded the war elephant to rush over. The Wei army was shocked, organized a dense human wall, and used layers of shields and spears to stop the war elephants. After all, the Wei army was outnumbered, and the offensive of the war elephants was finally hindered. However, this also affected the retreat of the Wei army, and hundreds of thousands of troops began to mix together, blocking each other from front to back.
