Forty miles north of Nanguang City.

The 100,000-strong army set up camp, just waiting for a night's rest, and continued to move south tomorrow, heading straight to Nanguang City.

In the imperial tent, Su Zhe drank a little wine and listened to the reports of the generals.

At this moment, Hu Che'er rushed in and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there is a new situation in Nanguang City, it seems that Meng Huo has invited reinforcements from that dog thief." ”

Since experiencing the variables of the Tengjia Army, Su Zhe has strengthened the intelligence reconnaissance of the barbarian army, and specially put Hu Che'er in charge, so as not to have the variables that caught him off guard again in the Fujijia Army.

"This time, what kind of helper did Meng Huo recruit again?" Su Zhe asked unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, that Meng Shu got hundreds of giant elephants from nowhere, and now he is using giant elephants to open the way and rush north."

Giant elephants!

Everyone present heard this fresh term, and their faces changed.

"Sure enough......" Su Zhe didn't have a trace of surprise, and a sarcastic sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected this.

Su Zhe is familiar with history, and of course he knows that in history, in addition to the invulnerable rattan armor soldiers, there is also a strong army of war elephants.

In the past, when Zhuge Liang was on his southern expedition, he fought with elephant soldiers and rattan armor soldiers successively, and when he came here, it was just that the order of the battle had changed.

Originally, Su Zhe actually didn't believe it, but since he fought with the rattan armor soldiers before, he believed that the elephant soldiers must also exist, and estimated that Meng Shu stayed in Nanguang City and did not leave, most likely secretly asking the elephant soldiers to come to help in the war.

Now it seems that everything is as he expected.

"Elephant soldiers? Can elephants still fight? Yan Liang looked shocked and disbelieving.

The rest of the generals were all surprised, and even a wise man like Lu Xun was very surprised when he heard about the existence of elephant soldiers for the first time.

At this time, Huang Quan suddenly woke up, and said: "The minister suddenly remembered that among the various departments of the Southern Barbarians, there is a Ba Na Cave, and it is rumored that there is indeed a giant elephant army, but it is just a rumor, I didn't expect it to really exist." ”

As soon as Huang Quan said this, the generals had to believe it.

Yan Liang snorted disdainfully: "What about the giant elephant, is it possible that we are still afraid that he will not succeed." ”

"General Ziyi doesn't know, this giant elephant is huge, hundreds of elephants are connected together, like a moving castle, and everything it passes is crushed."

"And the skin of the giant elephant is thick and rough, even the strongest bow and crossbow can't shoot through, it can be said that the attack and defense of this giant elephant soldier are the strongest in the world, if we really want to fight, even if we have a million army, we are not the opponent of those hundreds of giant elephant army."

Huang Quan's words made the strength of the giant elephant soldier clear, and even he shivered, and his tone became more and more solemn.

After listening to his description, the generals all secretly inhaled cold air, and their eyes showed a look of jealousy.

Lu Xun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The minister remembers that in order to please Sun Bofu, the merchants in Jiangdong once bought an elephant from the Southern Barbarians. ”

After a pause, Lu Xun said again: "But because of improper breeding, the elephant died not long after, Sun Bofu ordered the dead elephant to be skinned and slaughtered, and the cut elephant skin was as thick as five or six layers of cowhide, which was indeed enough to resist the strongest crossbow shooting in the world." ”

After Lu Xun's corroboration, the generals of the Great Wei present were all numb in their scalps when they listened, and they fought a cold war.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the big tent, and the generals had not seen this giant elephant soldier, so they became afraid and afraid.

"Your Majesty, since the power of this giant elephant soldier is so terrifying, should we withdraw our troops back to Yandao City for the time being to avoid its edge for the time being?" Huang Quan said.

Everyone looked at Su Zhe, waiting for him to make a choice.

There was a bit of worry hidden in the expressions of all the generals, only worried about whether their son of heaven would care about face and not have a wise choice to withdraw his troops.

Su Zhe was light and light, and he was not in a hurry and leisurely tasted the wine, until he drank the last wisp of wine in the glass, and then slowly put down the wine glass.

"Isn't it just a herd of animals, who have bluffed you like this, and even have to withdraw their troops back to Yandao City." Su Zhe disagreed, and was still sarcastic about the generals in his words.

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

Su Zhe didn't wait for them to question, then sneered: "Don't worry, I have my own clever plan for the Elephant Breaker." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in high spirits, and their eyes were full of surprise.

At the beginning, the vine armor soldiers were invulnerable, and everyone thought that they were invulnerable, but they were easily destroyed by Su Zhe's fire attack strategy.

At present, although the elephant soldiers are strong, the invincible Son of Heaven said that there is a way to clean up the elephant soldiers, and there must be a way.

The Son of Heaven cannot be wrong!

"I wonder what your majesty's plan is?" Lu Xun asked curiously.

"Heaven must not be divulged." Su Zhe's face flashed with a hint of mystery, but he beckoned to him again: "Since Bo Yan has asked, this errand will be handed over to you to handle." ”

Lu Xun was curious, stepped forward, and stepped forward with his ears.

Su Zhe lowered his voice and told Lu Xun all his strategies.

The more Lu Xun listened, the more strange his face became, and he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, this method is too strange, can it really deal with the giant elephant soldiers?" ”

"Whether you can deal with it or not, you will know when the time comes, you can just do it." Su Zhe waved his hand confidently.

Lu Xun didn't dare to question it anymore, and immediately said: "The minister understands, and the minister will start to prepare, and he will do it as soon as possible." ”

All the generals were full of curiosity, guessing what trick Su Zhe would come up with to crack the legendary giant elephant army.

Su Zhe didn't say anything, deliberately whetted their appetite, but temporarily pulled out the camp according to the army, and pretended to retreat in the direction of Yudao City in the north.

On the same day, 100,000 Wei troops returned to the north.

In order to create the illusion of fearing the giant elephants, Su Zhe ordered that while retreating, traps were set up everywhere along the way, ditches were dug, trees were cut down, and various obstacles were used to stumble the elephants' northward advance.

Su Zhe's withdrawal was also expected.

He had expected that Su Zhe would be afraid of the Giant Elephant Legion and would retreat without a fight, and the various obstacles set up by Su Zhe along the way convinced Meng Xu of his speculation.

As a result, Meng was so confident that he ordered the Giant Elephant Soldiers of Mulu to open the way, and the 30,000 barbarian army marched north again to try to recapture the city.

The two armies retreated, the other pursued, and within a few days, they retreated to the line of Lidao City.

If he retreated further, Su Zhe would have to surrender this pivotal town between the northern part of Yizhou and the seven counties in the south to the barbarians.

Su Zhe ordered the retreat to be stopped, and the 100,000 troops were stationed inside and outside the city, putting on a posture that they would not retreat and would fight to the death with the barbarian army here.

Meng Shu was also very arrogant, relying on the giant elephant army, he didn't take the Wei army in his eyes at all, and with less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, he dared to approach the city of Yandao.

On the same day, after the completion of the village, Meng Shu sent a very humiliating war letter written by him to Yandao City.
