The owner of the cave only knew that there were explosions, and he didn't understand why there were explosions.

It wasn't until he saw the cannon at the head of the city spewing fire that he realized that the explosion had been fired from the city.

Believing that it was a cannonball exploding, he didn't pay much attention to the Wei troops who were squatting at the gate of the city.

More and more Wei troops arrived at the gate of the city, they seemed to be disorganized, but if you look closely, you can find that in fact, the position they are squatting in is very particular.

Wei Jun was in groups of three or two, squatting in groups of people every two or three steps, fiddling with something there.

After looking at them for a while, he felt that the Wei army had not noticed them at all, and brought the cave master to jump on the broad back of a war elephant with the help of two barbarians.

He raised his weapon and pointed forward: "Kill me!" ”

Three thousand barbarian warriors followed him closely and rushed towards the city gates.

Ahead of the barbarian warriors were the five hundred war elephants.

The sudden appearance of the barbarians surprised the Wei army outside the city gate, and they hurriedly turned around and ran into the city, closing the city gate tightly.

"Huang Zhong is not here, take advantage of this time to take Wanghai for me!" Bring the cave master and shouted.

It was the war elephants who first flocked to the gates.

The war elephant howled, and rushed to the city gate with the barbarian elephant knight on his back.

Although the city gate is heavy, it can't last long under the impact of war elephants.

The barbarians attacked the city, and if they couldn't break through from the city, they would most likely choose to use war elephants to break open the city gates and go directly into the city.

Seeing that he was about to rush to the city gate, a loud noise suddenly sounded under the feet of a war elephant in front of the cave master.

The fire burst out with a loud bang beneath the war elephant.

The heavy war elephant was actually pushed up by the force of the firelight, and then its huge body fell and fell to the ground.

The explosion began, followed by a second and a third sound.

The warriors who saw the artillery bombarding the barbarian barracks themselves fell into the center of the explosion, and they all panicked.

Especially those war elephants.

On the battlefield, they are invincible, but the sound of the explosion startles them.

The frightened war elephants ran around, trampling on the other barbarian warriors.

The huge footboards of the war elephants stepped on the ground, like a minesweeper made of meat, and stepped on the mines at the city gates.

When the explosion no longer sounded, there were already many war elephants and corpses of people and horses lying outside the gate of Wanghai City.

Zhuge Liang's plan was to let the cave master attack the city gate, but when the cave master was attacking the city, he quickly found that if he didn't lead the barbarian warriors to withdraw, maybe all these people would have to be outside Wanghai City.

The cave master did bring a lot of barbarians, but soon, he took them all away.

Huang Zhong did not meet the barbarians who intercepted and killed him head-on, and Wanghai was not attacked by the barbarians.

Zhuge Liang's strategy can be said to be seamless, but he was defeated by the new weapons possessed by the Wei army......

Returning to the outside of Wanghai City with two hundred elites, Huang Zhong found that the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.

The carcasses of barbarians and horses were easy to dispose of, and it was the elephants that were blown up and killed that made it difficult for the soldiers.

The elephant's body is so heavy that it is not something they can shake.

Huang Zhong came to the gate of the city, and the captain greeted him.

Looking at the mess everywhere, Huang Zhong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Return to the general!" The lieutenant replied: "Just as the general guessed, the barbarians really have another group of men and horses hiding nearby, and they actually have five or six hundred elephants, and they are trying to break the city gate with the elephants. ”

Wanghai City is still there, and the city gate is intact, so you don't need to ask to know that the purpose of the barbarians has not been achieved.

"So many elephants?" Looking at the elephant corpse lying on the ground, Huang Zhong also subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

If he encountered these behemoths on the battlefield, he was really not sure that he would be able to win.

He is not afraid of any fierce enemy, but the war elephant is a creature that not only has a huge physique, but also has a strength that cannot be matched by humans.

If he encountered them on the battlefield, Huang Zhong couldn't think of any better way than to escape.

"How many of them came?" Knowing that the other party had war elephants, Huang Zhong asked the captain.

"If you don't count the people on your back, there must be about three or four thousand." The lieutenant replied.

"There are so many people here, obviously trying to take advantage of my absence to take Wanghai into my hands." Huang Zhong said: "As long as they get Wanghai and send war elephants to intercept me head-on, we will not only lose the city, but I am afraid that even the burial place will be gone!" ”

"That's what the general said." The lieutenant replied: "If it weren't for mines and artillery, today's battle would not be easy. ”

"The lord has a great foresight, and he has long seen that mines and artillery can play a role in determining success or failure on the battlefield." Huang Zhong said: "Otherwise, how could he deliberately go to Penglai and stare at the craftsman's workshop to make such things?" ”

"Ever since I followed my lord, I've often heard people say that he has come up with some novelties." The lieutenant said: "In the past, the novelty that the lord came up with was already staggering, who would have thought that he could actually make such killing weapons as mines and cannons." ”

"Aren't you glad?" Huang Zhong smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

The lieutenant looked dazed: "Happy? Rejoice in what? ”

"Fortunately, I chose to follow the lord in the first place, otherwise it would be us who were blown up by artillery and mines, regardless of north and south." Huang Zhong said with a smile.

The captain smiled: "When the general said this, I really felt it, fortunately I followed the lord at the beginning, if I hadn't followed him, maybe I would have died on the battlefield without knowing when!" ”

"This is not the place to talk." After a few words with the captain, Huang Zhong said, "Let's go to the city first." ”

The captain agreed, and accompanied him into Wanghai City.

After entering the city, Huang Zhong asked the captain, "How long will it take for the lord to come here?" ”

"The scout also sent news, saying that the lord has only entered the border of Jiaozhou now, and the army will come here, to say the least, it will be ten days later." The lieutenant replied.

"Ten days later!" Huang Zhong's brows furrowed slightly.

They can defeat the barbarians in one day, and the barbarians will have a day to make a new attack.

Ten days is indeed too long for the battlefield.

"How many shells and mines do we have?" Huang Zhong asked again.

The lieutenant replied: "There are still a lot of shells, and there are indeed not many mines. If they were to be used today, they would only be used two or three more times at most. ”

"Keep all the shells and mines in check." Huang Zhong commanded: "There are far more barbarians than we imagined, and before the lord comes here, we still have to count on those things to guard Wanghai!" ”
