Chapter 280 Five Thousand War Elephants, What a Big Stroke

However, Bafa Valman is a generation of heroes after all, and it is obviously not his character to sit back and wait for death, and it is his nature to rather be broken than broken.

Even if he is destined to be defeated, he must rise up and resist, and he must bite off a piece of Datang's meat, let Datang know what pain is, and let him know that he is not easy to mess with.

As for these people who reported to him, Bafa Valman naturally knew that they had bad intentions in reporting to him, and they wanted to kill Li Zhen with their own hands.

But Bafa Valman knows better that he has no choice, even if he doesn't kill Li Zhen, he will not be able to escape Datang's strangulation in the end, and even the sooner he shoots, the better - and this is what Luo Tianyuan and they mean, because the longer it drags on, the more prepared Datang will be, and the stronger Li Zhen's combat power will be.

Even now, more than 100,000 troops have landed in Linyi, and another 100,000 troops are on the way to come, once Li Zhen gathers these more than 200,000 troops, plus his 30,000 young troops...... At that time, it will not be a question of whether you take the initiative or not, but wait in the nest for when Datang will come to the door.

So in order to protect himself and give Datang a ruthless one, Bafa Valman quickly gathered the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and collected more than 200,000 troops through the big conscription, adding up to a total of 400,000 troops, which brought him a little confidence.

But this is still not enough, with less than 30,000 troops to sweep through Linyi, the strength of the young army under Li Zhen is not weak at all.

It was at this time that Bafa Valman shifted his attention to the group of uninvited 'allies' - I know that you and Li Zhen are mortal enemies, and I also know that you want to kill Li Zhen with my hands, but just relying on the love of a messenger, you want me and Li Zhen to fight to the death, but you are picking up the bargain behind your back...... How can there be such a good thing in this world?

If you don't show a little sincerity, then I'd rather bear the guilt and beg Datang for mercy...... At least in this way, there is still a possibility that our Zhenla will survive, and my family may also have a good end, which is better than launching a decisive charge against Datang, right?

In the face of Bafa Valman's implicit threat, Luo Tianyuan naturally didn't care, please, if you give in so easily, if you are really so easy to be soft. How can you still have the courage to borrow the knife of the Tang Dynasty to cut down Linyi? Where else can we annex Funan? Where do you still have the courage to gather an army of 400,000 and the Tang Dynasty? ……

However, although they knew that this was all a threat from Bafa Walman, the family and Confucianism (in the future, it will still be called the anti-Li Zhen Alliance, just the family and Confucianism say so, it seems a bit too lo, not to mention that there will be Buddhism and other forces to join in the future) still happily agreed, promising that they will definitely contribute to this war, and they will make a big contribution.

The reason why the anti-Li Zhen alliance so happily accepted the threat of Ba Favarman was because they knew very well that Li Zhen was not easy to mess with, although Zhenla had gathered an army of 400,000, but there were too many recruits in it, if it really fought, at most it would be to fight with Li Zhen for one and a half catties and eight taels - if they could fight Zhenla with 30,000 people and 400,000 people and still fight for one and a half catties and eight taels, even if Li Zhen finally failed, it would be a defeat and a glory.

After all, although there are examples of battles in history where fewer people win more and are outnumbered, most of them are completed by strategy, such as the famous Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Weishui.

And the one who really relied on the combat power of a small number of troops to fight hundreds of thousands of troops and won the battle, throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are only two cases, and all of them were completed by one person - that is, the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng.

In the former, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin general Zhang Han Wang Xin's 400,000 Qin army with tens of thousands of troops, and the latter Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 army in just half a day with 30,000 troops......

But there are only two examples, and there is only such a Xiang Yu, and the rest are controversial (such as the battle of Yin and Jin, this is also a battle of less and more, and it is also a battle of clear swords and guns, Wu Qi led the Wei army of 50,000 to defeat the Qin army of 500,000, but because this war was not included in the "Historical Records", the authenticity remains to be discussed, so I won't talk about it.) There is also the battle of Kunyang, the traverser Wang Mang fought against Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, this is even more outrageous, Wang Mang's hundreds of thousands of troops were purely stoned to death by Liu Xiu's meteorite summoning technique, what does it have to do with the army...... ）。

If Li Zhen can really rely on the 30,000 people and the 400,000 army of Zhenla to fight to the end, then even if the 30,000 youth army is really all killed, no one will say that Li Zhen is a loser, but will praise Li Zhen's pure masters, iron-blooded real men. Li Zhen's reputation will not only not be damaged, but will also increase his prestige a lot, which is not what the anti-Li Zhen alliance wants to see. They prefer Li Zhen to be ruined, so to hell with the same fate and half a catty or something.

So on the one hand, it is to damage Li Zhen's reputation, and on the other hand, it is also to appease Bafa Valman and let him fight with the Tang Dynasty well, first of all, Confucianism showed his killer weapon - a full 5,000 well-trained elephants.

As we all know, although the courage of elephants is not small, after all, the figure is there, but it is also a big mistake to say that elephants are as stupid and bold as Pingtou brothers, and no one is afraid. After all, elephants are vegetarians, and they usually like to be quiet, and they can't be frightened the most, otherwise they really make them rush wildly, that scene ...... You can imagine the scene when the tank charges.

Therefore, although there has always been a custom of raising elephants in Nanyang, there are also many people of insight who want to use elephants in military affairs, especially if they are concentrated to charge, in ancient times when there were no thermal weapons, only bed crossbows or trebuchets could threaten them.

But because of the shortcoming that elephants are timid and can not be frightened, the cultivation of elephant cavalry has always been half the effort, although occasionally there are successful cultivations, but the number is extremely rare, even if there are, it is only one hundred and eighty heads, and it cannot form a scale at all, and more often the elephants are used as baggage soldiers.

So as soon as he saw a full 5,000 well-trained war elephants standing in front of him, Bafa Valman, who was shocked by the momentum, collapsed in courage at that time, patted his chest and assured - you can rest assured, with these 5,000 elephant soldiers, if I don't beat Li Zhen's out, I will not be the king anymore, I will simply go back to the countryside to farm.

However, it can also be seen how bold the anti-Li Zhen alliance is, how strong the hatred for Li Zhen is, and the hard work of cultivating it will be sent, which is really a big stroke.
