Volume 15 The Furious Waves of the South China Sea-South Vietnam Volume 3 Elephant War
Three days later, at a stream, 300,000 Qin troops were encamped.
Lingnan is in the subtropics, and there is not much chill in winter at all, so although it is winter, many of the Qin soldiers only wear single clothes and light armor! For the Qin army, who often fought in the cold areas of the north, this cold was simply incomprehensible!
At this time, on the busy and unhurried camp, Fusu Zheng and Ren Huan, Li Xin and other generals checked the terrain.
Seeing that the Qin soldiers were busy, Fu Su smiled: "I heard that Lingnan has a lot of miasma and often eats people, but haven't you encountered it much these days?" General Ren, what do you say?" Ren Huan said solemnly when he heard this: "Back to the king, now I have just entered Lingnan, and the water flow near is dense, and there is little jungle, so there is less miasma, and it may be possible to go west." Lingnan is a wild land, the miasma is very dangerous, there are large poisonous miasma can easily devour hundreds of people, do not be careless!"
Fusu was also a little frightened, thought for a while, and asked: "General Ren, when and where does miasma usually occur, and how to prevent it?"
Ren Huan thought for a while and said: "It was once said in ancient books: there are two kinds of poisonous miasma in Lingnan, green and yellow, similar to typhoid fever in Lingbei. The south is warm, even in winter, the grass and trees do not wither and yellow, and the poisonous insects do not hide, and miscellaneous poisons will also be born due to the warmth. Therefore, in the land of Lingnan, from mid-spring to mid-summer, the grass miasma is green, and the summer is yellow and miasma from the summer to the Mengdong. These miasma generally occur in deep forests and dense grasses, and sometimes some rivers also appear more hidden miasma! Once inhaled, the two poisonous miasma, green and yellow, will be killed immediately within three or two hours. In light cases, it will also invade the skin in a day or two, causing headaches and chills, and a strong lower back; For more than three days, it will make people feel stuffy and have chest congestion and weakness in their limbs; After more than five days, the miasma will invade the internal organs, making the abdomen distended and heavy. On one’s last legs! Therefore, according to the difference between the middle and green and yellow miasma of the patient, the depth of poisoning and the time of poisoning, the cure methods are also different! However, fortunately, the ancestral living area of the last general is close to Wuling, and there is an ancestral prescription, which can be detoxified according to the different conditions of the Chinese poem!"
Hearing this, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Great, General Ren is so familiar with the customs and geography of Lingnan, and he has no worries!" That's right. Can there be enough herbs to treat qi in the army?" Ren Huan shook his head and said: "It's not enough, after the Ling Canal is repaired, the last general once asked General Fan Tianshi to rush to transport a batch, but it was just a hasty preparation, far from enough!"
Fusu frowned and said: "How is it good, according to what General Ren said, there is a yellow miasma prevailing now, there are not enough herbs, in case there are more miasma among the soldiers, wouldn't there be a prescription!?" Ren Huan was annoyed when he saw Fusu. smiled and relieved: "You don't have to worry too much, there is a lot of miasma in Lingnan, but there must be an antidote near the miasma!" These herbs will be basically recognized. As long as you usually send someone to pay attention to more collection, it should be enough. It's just a bit of trouble!"
Fusu smiled: "Trouble is not important, as long as you can maintain the combat strength of the army, it is worth paying a big price!" Well, the military medic there. It's time for General Ren to make detailed arrangements!" Whoa!" Let the hustle and bustle!
While everyone was talking, suddenly a detective rode from outside the gate of the village, shouting from afar: "Urgent report! Urgent!" Seeing this, the soldiers along the way got out of the way. Avoid the galloping horses! The horse scout saw Fusu and the others from a distance, so he rode his horse and galloped, came to Fusu and leaped off the horse, knelt on the ground and gasped for two breaths, relieved his nerves, and then hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, generals." Fifty miles to the west, I found that about 100,000 South Vietnamese troops were defending themselves and blocking our westward path! Please, your lord!"
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha, God really helps me!" Ben Jun is worried that the South Vietnamese will go into the deep mountains and jungles to play hide and seek with Ben Jun, this is good, he sent it to the door! 100,000 people, half of South Vietnam's troops, this piece of fat must not be let go!"
Qiang Kui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, there is no reason not to eat the fat meat sent to the door!" Let the last general fight tomorrow, there has been no war for more than a year, and the last general is about to suffocate to death!"
Fusu smiled: "What an urgent son! Well, let's talk about it depending on the situation at that time, as long as possible, I will let General Qiang kill him happily!" Thank you!" Qiang Kui was so happy that his bull's eyes widened!
"Woo woo woo woo ......" a dull horn sound came from far to the west!
"Knock knock knock......" The rumbling war drums also came out of the eastern sky!
These two murderous voices echoed over the battlefield, making the air seem to burn and fill with tension!
Gradually, a long black line appeared in the eastern sky, and a large group of Qin soldiers began to march to the battlefield: the resolute face, the strict military appearance, and the silent solemnity were so thrilling, and this Qin army was still as strong as steel like its predecessors. In the distance, the sharp bronze weapons flashed with a cold cold light in the sunlight, and in the somewhat bleak autumn wind, they exuded a strong murderous aura!
And when the South Vietnamese troops on the western battlefield appeared on the battlefield, the atmosphere was completely different: the South Vietnamese troops dressed in animal skins and painted on their faces were a mess, they squeezed me, I pushed you, and they were chaotic like a flock of ducks, and there was no queue at all; And they all jumped and jumped in strange postures, and they were screaming in their mouths, singing and dancing all the way to the battlefield! From a distance, the South Vietnamese soldiers looked more like a group of dancing gods than soldiers who were about to fall into the position! However, these people still have at least swords, spears, and bows and arrows in their hands, making them look like they barely fit the status!
With the arrival of this group of South Vietnamese soldiers on the battlefield, it suddenly became lively! For a while, the majestic atmosphere created by the solemn Qin army was destroyed, and the air on the battlefield was obviously a little weird!
The Qin soldiers were stunned at first, and then the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a sneer: "A group of barbarians! The army is the most heavily engaged in military discipline and formation, and judging by your virtue, even Korea, the worst of the six Kwantung countries, is much stronger than you! No, no, even Dongou and Minyue are several times stronger than you! Don't look at you dancing happily now, we will fight later, it's strange if I don't kill you to the ground, I dare to be so rampant in front of my invincible Great Qin Xiongshi! Hehe, it looks like I'm going to win the battle again today, if I can ##一个首级, then I'm going to be knighted again!" Seeing that the enemy army was completely like a rabble, the Qin army was overjoyed. A look of contempt!
Even Fusu and the generals looked a little stunned, and looked at each other for a while!
Fusu swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, it turns out that the South Vietnamese Army's way of fighting is like this, ingenuity, ingenuity!" The generals were immediately happy!
Qiang Kui also laughed at this time: "Your Majesty, what a rabble like this! Seeing that the enemy soldiers are only 50,000 or 60,000 people, please draw 30,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and see that the last general will cut the enemy within a charge and return to the formation!"
Fusu smiled: "Okay! With the courage of a general, there is no problem in breaking the enemy! That Benjun and the generals are behind the battle to see the general's might!" Whoa!" Qiang Kui was so happy. The black face is a little red, and the hard mane on the face is even more excited to get up!
"Brothers, kill with me!" Qiang Kui wielded a huge mace, let out a long roar, and drove the war horse under his seat to roll towards the enemy.
In the snare drum of "dong dong dong dong ......", the command flag of the Chinese army waved, and 30,000 warriors from the 100,000 Qin vanguard army shouted and followed Qiang Kui to rush towards the enemy!
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves and human feet struck on the land of Lingnan, bringing a trace of intense excitement to this foreign land that had been quiet for hundreds of years!
The. The Qin army, which had always met the enemy with a strict multi-arm joint battle formation, gave up this perfect battle formation comparable to the Macedonian army formation, and only rushed towards the Qin army in a small phalanx! In Qiang Kui's view, these South Vietnamese soldiers did not need the Qin army to form a multi-arm joint battle formation. Just use the usual small phalanx and urge the three armies of horses and infantry to charge with a charge, and you can solve the problem! And even Fusu and the generals think so!
In the distance, the South Vietnamese soldiers, who were originally cheering, suddenly saw the Qin army of the brigade slamming the trembling earth with a vicious look. I couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while. The confidence in victory and powerful murderous aura exuded by the Qin army's hundred-battle heroic division at this time, coupled with the strict military appearance that was still intact during the rapid charge, made the Qin army look like a raging black giant wave that was roaring madly and sweeping the ground. This astonishing momentum suddenly frightened the South Vietnamese soldiers, who had never seen such a military appearance, and their legs couldn't help but tremble slightly!
Oulong, the king of Ouyue, who led the army in front of the battle, also suddenly felt three points of fear and seven points of regret. The confidence in victory immediately began to waver! But at this time, he was already riding a tiger, and he could only advance but not retreat, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth and ordered: "Urgent order." Let go of the war elephants!" Yes, my lord!"
"Woo woo woo ......! The intermittent and slightly strange sound of horns and trumpets suddenly hovered over the South Vietnamese soldiers, and then, I saw a huge dust cloud that was both high and dense suddenly rising from behind the South Vietnamese soldiers, like a rolling giant thunder roaring, and the momentum was quite amazing for a while!
"Well, there are still cavalry hidden behind the South Vietnamese formation?" Fusu couldn't help but be surprised: in the Lingnan area, there is an extreme shortage of horses, and even if there are, they are just some short pack horses, which are not suitable for war horses at all! What's going on with this thunderous hoof?
Fusu didn't dare to be careless, waved his hand, and ordered: "Order, 'break the army' is ready, if the battle situation is unfavorable, be ready to meet the front army at any time!" Whoa!"
As soon as Fusu's military order was handed down, there was a sudden huge agitation in front of the army that was about to fight!
The sound of hooves in the west was like thunder, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust rolled in: in the distance, some huge black shadows loomed in the smoke and dust, and a deafening hissing sound came from their mouths, this strange scene suddenly made the soldiers of the Qin army stunned suddenly, and the steps of the forward rush quickly stopped!
Soon, tens of thousands of South Vietnamese soldiers in front of the battle divided to the left and right, opening a wide passage. And in the smoke and dust, those huge black shadows also revealed the true face of Lushan: it was a group of monsters with huge bodies, long noses, hooves like wooden pillars, and fangs! On their backs, a small tower was built, on which several South Vietnamese soldiers were screaming and manipulating some of these terrifying behemoths to roar and rush towards the Qin army!
"Elephant !??" Fusu was taken aback and knew to himself: "Oh no! The Qin army has never set foot in Lingnan, and they don't know what the elephant is, this time it's miserable!"
Sure enough, the Qin army, who was rushing with great energy, was suddenly frightened by this giant beast that they had never seen before, and they stopped in unison, looking at the group of 'Grim Reapers' rushing over in front of them in horror!
Humans always have a visceral fear of the danger of the end, let alone this seemingly fierce and huge elephant! This point, the Qin army, who is brave in the world, is no exception!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded in mid-air, and the huge power made the invincible Qin army couldn't help but feel a little trembling, and their faces immediately turned pale. If it weren't for the strict military discipline. I'm afraid that the Qin army would have fled in fright!
Qiang Kui was also stunned just now as he looked at the behemoths protruding from the clouds and mist in front of him, and thought he was dreaming for a while: Could it be that this is a divine beast descending from the sky helping the South Vietnamese people to fight!? For a while, Qiang Kui, who was as bold as a cow and had never had the idea of being afraid, was also a little timid at this time!
Just when the Qin army was in a collective daze, the wild elephant herd was killed: with a long roar, the huge elephant trunk flung up, cutting a beautiful and powerful arc in mid-air, like sweeping garbage, and suddenly smashed dozens of Qin soldiers like trapeze; Then the elephant's huge body exerted a powerful kinetic energy, knocking the rows of closely arranged Qin soldiers into rolling east and west, and the chaos was not formed; Moreover. When the elephants were so happy, they even lifted the thick elephant legs and stepped on them like madmen, and immediately the flesh and blood flew and the corpses rolled everywhere!
For a time, under the control of the South Vietnamese soldiers, the wild elephant herd charged in the Qin army's formation like a group of raging tanks: with their noses, with their bodies, with their feet, they were invincible as if they were devastating! Originally, the Qin army in the world was as weak as a group of broken dolls made of paper in front of these elephants!
The 30,000 men of the Qin army collapsed in an instant, and the frightened soldiers of the Qin army shouted, they had no intention of fighting, turned around and ran, and for a while, the Qin army on the front line broke out the largest absconding in nearly ten years!
Qiang Kui could barely believe his eyes at this time: "The 30,000 Great Qin Male Divisions who dominate the world have collapsed in just a moment!" Enraged, the Qiang Kui screamed and broke free from the resistance of his own soldiers. Wow whoa scream rushed towards an elephant! At this time, even if the enemy is an immortal, Qiang Kui swears to smash him flat!
It's a pity. Although Qiang Kui can be called an elephant in front of ordinary people, he is just a slightly stronger mortal in front of a real elephant! A South Vietnamese soldier on the back of an elephant suddenly whistled. The war elephant suddenly hissed when he heard the order, and the sound was like a huge thunder, and the huge elephant's trunk was thrown horizontally, and the unprepared Qiang Kui was swept out of the way!
"Plop-" where blood spurted wildly. After receiving a heavy blow, Qiang Kui suddenly fell to the ground, and the mace was thrown somewhere!
"General!" Qiang Kui's own soldiers shouted and rushed forward one after another, risking their lives to rob Qiang Kui in the chaotic army of elephants. Turn around and look at the wind! And seeing that the brave generals of the mighty army couldn't stop the elephant's blow, the Qin army lost the courage to face it, and the girl ran faster!
For a while, a huge black tide quickly rolled back in front of Fusu!
Ou Long, who was still a little weak and short of breath, was overjoyed when he saw this: it turned out that the Qin army seemed to be brave, but in fact, it was also vulnerable! I couldn't help waving the bronze long sword in my hand, and shouted: "Sons, kill me ......"
"Whew! Oh! How...... "Tens of thousands of South Vietnamese troops screamed, with 10,000 Ou Vietnamese soldiers as the lead, and the rest followed, swept over! The crazy shouting and killing momentum is quite amazing!
For an army like South Vietnam, which has no concept of military discipline or military appearance, a tailwind battle is the easiest to fight!
Seeing this, Fusu sighed, and seeing that all the generals were in a daze, he hurriedly ordered: "Pass my general's order, and all the crossbowmen will go to the front of the formation to cover the army!" There are those who dare to flee in battle!" Whoa!"
"Knock knock knock......! In the sound of war drums, more than 10,000 Qin army crossbowmen hulala all pushed to the front of the formation, and the three-stage chain crossbow formation was quickly lined up, and the blue and shining crossbow arrows were aimed at the sky, just waiting for the order to shoot immediately!
"Send my general order again, order the herald to rush forward, command the defeated army to withdraw from both flanks, and those who dare to rush into this formation will be killed!" Whoa!"
Several heralds rushed out, came to the front of the formation, waved the command flag, and shouted wildly: "Wu Anjun has an order, the defeated army retreats from both wings, and those who retreat and collide with this formation will be killed......
The retreating Qin army is well-trained, and it is not good to know it when they see this: if they break up their own formation, I am afraid that the defeat will continue to the entire front army! Most of the people hurriedly changed direction and scattered towards the two wings of the Qin army's main formation!
But there are also a small number of people who are in a panic, and they actually run straight to the main formation with shouts! Seeing that the rebel army was about to rush in, and the herd of elephants following the impact behind him also swept in, Fusu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ten thousand crossbows are fired in unison, covering the battlefield!" Whoa!"
The war drums sounded, and the crossbow was fired, without the slightest hesitation: in the strange sound, a cyan cloud rose up from the Qin army's array. Shaded the sun in the sky, and followed the cold wind to cover the battlefield!
"Pounce, pounce, pounce...... "three-stage chain crossbow and a salvo" The thousands of remnants of the Qin army who rushed to the formation in a panic were all shot in front of the formation! In an instant, the Qin army was bleeding like a river in front of the battle, and the corpses were piling up like a mountain!
Ou Long, who led the Ouyue soldiers to charge forward, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and a chill broke out in his heart: "This Qin person is really ruthless, even his own people can be killed!" But the more Qin people die, the happier they become!" So, two more wah-wow-wow-w shouted: "Sons, rush, cut off the head of the general of the Qin army and sacrifice to the ancestors of my Yue people!"
"Oh!" The Ou Yue soldiers shouted loudly, accompanied by a hundred war elephants charging forward.
"Shoot again, the rain of arrows is aimed at the enemy monsters, don't care about people for the time being!" Fusu has enough internal strength and shouts loudly!
The three-stage serial crossbow array of "Xiuxiuxiu......" stopped for a moment, and once again burst out with amazing power: the overwhelming arrows screamed wildly, tearing through the cold air, and landed in the Ouyue Formation!
"Pounce, pounce, pounce ......" The dozen or so war elephants that were charging forward suddenly hit dozens of arrows like thorns in their heads. Countless blood flowers bloomed! The Qin army's crossbow arrows were sharp, and although the elephants had rough skin and thick flesh, they couldn't help but strike like this for a while. Suddenly roared in pain, and turned his head to flee in the drenching of fresh meat. Along the way, there are countless flying Ou soldiers!
In the strange cry of "Xiu Xiu Xiu ......", a new round of crossbow arrows jumped into the air again, pounced on the Ouyue war elephants! In the chaos of arrows, I don't know which round of arrow rain has made a great achievement. Shot the head of the herd! The head elephant was hit by dozens of arrows, and the flesh and blood on his body were suddenly blurred, and he roared like thunder in pain, jumping wildly. He didn't control how the elephant people drove him, and he didn't dare to rush towards the Qin army anymore, so he turned around and fled!
This is terrible, the elephant herd, who has always obeyed the order of the head elephant, suddenly exploded the herd, no longer care how the Ou Yue soldiers on their backs whipped and shouted with leather whips, just follow the head elephant all the way back crazy, it is really trampling to death and injuring countless South Vietnamese soldiers, so that the Vietnamese soldiers have to get out of the way! The galloping elephants vanished in an instant, leaving only smoke and dust flying in the sky and wafting across the battlefield!
In ancient times, it was estimated that no army could resist such a fierce and tight rain of arrows from the Qin army head-on, and the South Vietnamese were no exception!
Seeing that the rain of arrows repelled the enemy elephant herd, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and they swept away the tense atmosphere just now, and moved the direction of the arrow rain attack to the South Vietnamese soldiers. "Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng ......" The Qin soldiers behind the formation shouted their military trumpets loudly to cheer for the heroic crossbowmen!
In the sound of "plop pounce ......", the Qin army's arrow rain once again exerted its might, and the Ouyue soldiers suddenly screamed and fell down frequently. It's just that the poor Yue Ren's thin leather clothes can't cover the sharp arrows at all, and from time to time bloom a beautiful blood flower. Suddenly, in front of the Qin army's main formation, the Ouyue soldiers were ambushed.
......The arrows continued to scream, and the Ouyue soldiers couldn't get close at all, so they were shot to the ground one by one by the rain of arrows of the Qin army! Seeing that the situation was not good, and there was no way to get any cheaper, Ou Long hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" Retreat!"
With the sound of drums and trumpets, the South Vietnamese soldiers came and went as fast as they came, and they flew like a tide!
"Stop the arrows!" Fusu waved, and suddenly the dense rain of arrows stopped!
"Your Majesty, let's chase it!" Several generals of the Broken Army have asked for battle, and all the generals are holding back an evil fire in their hearts!
Fusu shook his head and said, "No! The enemy and the enemy are similar in numbers, and the enemy is now only retreating, not fleeing, and it is not cheap to catch up! Moreover, our army's crossbow array can only be fixed to meet the enemy, and it cannot react quickly, and if it is pursued, the infantry will lose the protection of the crossbow array in the first place! In addition, the enemy giant beast is led by a beast, although it is panicked, in case it regains consciousness and counterattacks, our front army only has 20,000 cavalry, and the light cavalry crossbow they are equipped with has limited lethality against the Vietnamese giant beast, wouldn't it be too much loss!? It's better to retreat and go back first, and find a way to completely destroy the enemy beast!" Whoa!" Although the generals are a little reluctant, there is no way!
So, the Qin army formed a strict formation, broke it with a crossbowman, slowly retreated, cleaned up the defeated troops along the way, and retreated to Dazhai! Before entering the village, Li Xin led a large army to respond, and saw that there were many wounded in the front army, so he hurriedly called for help and welcomed the front army into the village!
Afterwards, the three armies were checked, and the 30,000 troops of Qiang Kui who went out to fight died in the chaos and those who were shot by the main formation. Tens of thousands! It is really a fiasco that the Qin army has not seen in more than ten years!
In the tent of the handsome, the frightened generals felt palpitations as soon as they thought of the roaring giant beast of the South Vietnamese army just now, and they were adjusting their breath, when suddenly a general strode into the tent, "pounced" and fell to the ground, and said bitterly: "Your Excellency, the last general is incompetent, causing our army to suffer a great defeat that has not been seen in the past years, the last general is guilty, please deal with it according to military regulations!"
The generals will take a look. But it's the general Qiang Kui!
It is estimated that he was not lightly pumped by the elephant's nose just now, and Qiang Kui's face is now a little pale, and there are faint traces of blood at the corners of his mouth!
You must know that according to the harsh military discipline of the Qin army, the defeated master can be killed immediately! And on weekdays, the generals have a good personal relationship with the straightforward Qiang Kui, and for a while, everyone can't help but worry about Qiang Kui.
Ren Huan looked at Fusu's somewhat ugly face, didn't know the depth, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, General Qiang Kui has accumulated military exploits in the past. Outstanding meritorious service, although today accidentally defeated, but please also ask the king to be outside the law. Open the net and let him make meritorious contributions!"
"Your Majesty!" The generals saw that there was a leader. Get up together and plead for Qiang Kui!
Fu Su sighed, got up and came to Qiang Kui, and said guiltily: "The defeat in this battle is not the general's fault. It's really that Benjun didn't anticipate the enemy, and if he wants to punish him, he will punish Benjun, what kind of crime does the general have! Hurry up!"
"Your Majesty!!" The thick and straight Qiang Kui was immediately moved to tears, hugged Fusudi's thighs and cried! Qiang Kui is wronged. Over the years, he has been charging into battle and invincible, how can he lose so badly as he does today!
Seeing this, the generals' eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, one was to admire Fusu's mind, and the other was to admire Qiang Kui's courage to bear the guilt!
Seeing that the five big and three thick Qiang Kui were crying like a child, Fusu couldn't help crying and laughing, and hurriedly said: "General, please get up quickly, just go back to the account and recuperate in peace!" The humiliation suffered by the general today will be brought back a hundredfold by the king of Japan! Come on, help General Qiang Kui to return to the tent to recuperate!" Whoa!" A few guards came in and picked up Qiang!
Qiang Kui wiped his tears and said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty, when you have a plan to break the enemy in the future, you must let the last general fight the vanguard, today's shame, the last general will not be asked back, and you will not die in this life!" Fusu comforted: "General rest assured, just rest assured that you can recuperate your injuries first, and there will be a time for revenge in the future!"
The guards helped Qiang Kui out, and peace was restored to the tent!
Li Xin asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, I heard from the defeated army that General Qiang Kui was defeated by a huge monster of the South Vietnamese army!" General Ren, you are familiar with the situation in South Vietnam, do you know what kind of monster this monster is?"
Ren Huan frowned when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "The last general only lived in the south of Chu when he was a child, and moved to the Qin State when he was a little older. And there is a behemoth called an elephant in these two barbarian countries, but the minister has never seen it with his own eyes, so I don't know if it is the giant beast I see today!"
Fusu nodded and said, "That's right, the real name of these giant beasts is 'elephant', and they are a kind of beast that lives in the hot area of the Southern Wasteland!" Actually, you see that these elephants are huge and vicious, but they eat grass and do not eat meat!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and Li Xin was surprised: "Your Excellency seems to know more about this giant beast called 'elephant'!" Have you seen it with your own eyes? And it's strange that this elephant is so big that it eats grass and not meat!"
Fusu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "General Li has not seen it, don't you know that Benjun likes to study some ancient books and contact some strange people from other tribes on weekdays!" Benjun has heard of this beast called an elephant, and today's comparison is exactly the same as what the book says, so it should be right!"
Ren Huan was overjoyed and said: "The king is really studious and tireless, and the last general will admire him!" I just don't know if the king knows the weakness of these giant elephants?"
Fusu nodded, and a chill flashed in his eyes: "I know!" It is the tip of every beast that is not afraid of loud noises and fires, and elephants are no exception, and our army can break the enemy according to this! In addition, elephants also have a natural predator, which will be frightened and flee when they see it, and our army can also take advantage of it!"
The generals are surprised: This pet beast still has natural enemies? Could it be that there is a more vicious beast in this world? Shi Lu was also a curious person, and hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, I don't know what kind of giant beast it is, can this elephant be so afraid today?"
"Mouse!" Fusu said lightly!
"Rat, rat is something? What, the king is talking about rats!" Shi Lu's mouth opened wide in shock!
The generals also looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe it.
Ren Huanqi said: "Your Majesty, this giant elephant is so huge, how can it be afraid of a mouse?"
Fusu smiled: "The so-called 'one thing descends one thing'. There are few beasts in this world that can put the lives of giant elephants in danger, but they are only afraid of this little mouse! When the time comes, we only need to catch tens of thousands of rats, and then soak them in fire oil, and set fire to them in front of the two armies, and the elephants will inevitably panic and flee in chaos, and there will be no possibility of any gathering in the short term. At that time, our army will gather all the iron cavalry to follow and pursue the enemy, and we will win a complete victory in one battle!"
"Great!" The generals are happy, don't be afraid of the giant elephant anymore!
"That's good. In the past few days, our army will not be able to avoid the battle! If the generals are free, they will lead the troops to catch mice, and those who have more will be rewarded, and those who have less will be punished!" Fusu said with a smile!
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and responded with an ugly face: "Oh!"
Pitiful, the Qin army is now mixed up to the point where they can only catch mice!
So, within three days, the Qin army sent a large number of soldiers to catch rats everywhere while avoiding the battle, which was really unseen in ancient times!
Three days later. After the Qin army was ready, it immediately mobilized 60,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 crossbowmen in the army to fight against the South Vietnamese!
Volunteers, Ou Long, and Luo Ying heard the report. Urgent report drum and bugle gathering.
The volunteer said: "The Qin army avoided the battle and did not come out for three days. If you suddenly go to war today, there will be a deceit, so it's better not to go out!"
Ou Long said disappreciatively: "The king is too worried! According to the detailed report, Qin Jun is different from last time. Except for 10,000 crossbowmen, the rest are cavalry! Presumably, he wants to destroy our war elephant offensive with crossbowmen first, and then the column of iron cavalry will pursue it, so that we can win a steady victory without losing!"
The volunteer asked, "Brother Xian knows this." Is there a way to deal with it?"
Ou Long smiled triumphantly: "Last time, more than twenty war elephants were injured, but it was just an accident, because Xiao Wang didn't expect the Qin army's crossbow arrows to be so sharp. Now it's different, this time I've put on a thick leather armor for the war elephant, and I'm no longer afraid of the rain of arrows from the Qin army! This time, we must be angry and break the Qin army, and we can't let it be abandoned halfway like last time!"
The volunteer was overjoyed and said, "Great! Then please take the 20,000 Ouyue soldiers as the vanguard, and this king and Luo Yingxian will lead the main force to help!" Yes, my lord!" The generals of the South Vietnamese State were also full of confidence.
The dull sound of horns and rumbling war drums sounded on the battlefield again, and the black Qin army and the various South Vietnamese troops quickly entered the battlefield in the east and west, and the air instantly became tense!
In the distance, the two armies were still more than a mile apart, and they stopped on the flat ground and glared at each other.
On the South Vietnamese army, Ou Long led 20,000 Ou Yue soldiers as the front team, and nearly 100 war elephants were all wearing thick leather armor and standing in the formation like a hill!
Ou Long also rode on a war elephant, looking down on the battlefield condescendingly, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied and proud for a while!
With a sound of "Cangchang", Ou Long pulled out his long sword, pointed diagonally forward, and shouted: "My sons and daughters of Ouyue obey the order, kill all the Qin people for me, and defend the homeland!"
"Kill ——!"
The Ouyue soldiers shouted, swarming towards the Qin army, and the Ouyue riders on the war elephants also shook the reins, destroyed the war elephants, and rushed towards the Qin army! Suddenly, the huge earth like hooves stepped on the earth, shaking the ground violently like a swing, and the huge momentum of the ground couldn't help but make the Qin army, who had already been mentally prepared, still change color slightly!
Fusu didn't panic, just said lightly: "The front army is ready!" Whoa!"
There were 1,000 Qin soldiers carrying big boxes and quickly putting them in front of the battle, and another 1,000 Qin soldiers and Qin soldiers were holding torches and standing by at any time!
Looking at the wild elephant herd that took the lead in rolling up to three or four hundred steps in front of the Qin army's formation, Fu Su shouted: "Set fire rats!" Whoa!"
A thousand Qin soldiers holding torches suddenly opened the lid of the wooden box and put the torches inside. "Whew" where the flames splashed, a stream of flames rose from the top of the wooden box, and a "squeak" scream suddenly sounded!
Immediately after, a thousand Qin soldiers suddenly pulled out the plug board at the front end of the wooden box, and tens of thousands of small fireballs suddenly squeaked and rushed forward!
"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng ...... "The Qin soldiers shouted loudly, and the huge sound suddenly frightened the fire rats into swarming forward, and they didn't dare to turn their heads back!"
When the war elephants of the Ouyue Army were rushing forward violently, they suddenly saw a large fireball sweeping in front of them, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and their footsteps slowed down quickly!
Elephants are afraid of fire, this is their inherent habit!
Soon, when the fireball was approaching, the overwhelming squeaking sound suddenly made the elephants scatter, and the war elephants screamed loudly, and immediately lost their minds, hesitated for only a few seconds, and immediately couldn't resist the fear in their hearts, turned the elephant's head, and ran wildly towards the way they came!
The war elephants completely lost control, and fled frantically to the north, west, and south without rats, and the Ouyue soldiers who were caught off guard were knocked over on their backs, and countless casualties were imposed! In the blink of an eye, the elephants scattered and fled cleanly, never to gather again! Even the menacing King Ou Long of Xiou didn't know where he was pulled by the elephant!
Seeing this, Fusu was overjoyed and shouted: "I, Daqin's heroic soldiers, the time has come to kill the enemy's bloody shame, kill me!"
"Kill ——!" The 60,000 iron horsemen shouted, and the horses galloped, like a huge black cloud, and the momentum of the 10,000 horses galloping was like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracked!
The Ouyue soldiers had no master, the South Vietnamese soldiers had no courage, they were shocked when they saw this, and they were defeated and lost after a brief engagement, losing their armor all the way, and fleeing frantically!
How can the Nanyue foot soldiers, who have basically not received any formal training, be a well-trained Qin cavalry opponent, and engage head-on, of course, they will be defeated at the first touch!
Look at the Vietnamese soldiers fleeing frantically, how the Qin cavalry are willing to give up! The blazing flame in the heart of the Qin army, who regarded honor as more important than life, burned vigorously, and could not help but chase after the horses, and the South Vietnamese soldiers scattered and fled, with countless casualties. In the end, the remnants fled into the camp, closed the gates, and refused to come out!
The Qin cavalry did not dare to give up, and galloped wildly around the South Vietnamese battalion, shooting indiscriminately into it before turning around and retreating.
In this battle, after checking the results of the battle, more than 20,000 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, more than 10,000 prisoners were captured, and countless wounded were counted.
On the same day, Fusu rewarded the three armies, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted!
