Chapter 2125: The War Elephant Goes Out of the City

Bring the cave master and ask to lead the elephant soldiers out of the city.

Zhu Rong thought for a moment, and then replied: "You go, remember, in case you lose, withdraw immediately." ”

He agreed, brought the cave master and then went down the city wall.

It wasn't long before hundreds of war elephants headed for the blasted open gates.

Zhuge Liang, who was arranging for the barbarian soldiers to hide, heard the howl of the war elephant and turned his head to look over.

When he found out that the war elephant was about to leave the city, he hurriedly mounted his horse and chased him to the gate of the city.

The cave master who was riding on an elephant was stopped by Zhuge Liang, frowned, and asked with a very bad face: "Mr. Kong Ming, what do you want to do?" ”

In front of him, Zhuge Liang asked, "Where is the cave master going?" ”

"The Wei cannons have shot and killed a lot of our warriors, I can't just watch the warriors being killed and not think of a way?" The cave master said, "I am going to lead the elephant soldiers out of the city and lift all their cannons." ”

"War elephants are behemoths, even if the Wei army is strong, they are also fearful." Zhuge Liang said: "Once the Wei army attacks the city and we have war elephants, we will have a few more chances of winning." The cave master took away all the war elephants, in case they were trapped by the Wei army, they came to attack the city again, who could stop them? ”

Although what Zhuge Liang said is reasonable, he has suffered losses in the hands of Wei Jun recently, and he still listens to what the cave master says.

"I went out of the city on my sister's orders, and I ask my husband not to stop me." The cave owner is a little impatient.

"Please wait a moment, the cave master, I'll go and explain the stakes." Zhuge Liang said: "The king will definitely take back his fate!" ”

Dropping these words, he turned around and left.

Wait until Zhuge Liang runs to the city wall, and brings the cave master to greet the elephant soldiers behind him: "Follow me out of the city!" ”

"Cave Master." A barbarian leader behind him reminded: "Zhuge Liang said that he was going to see the queen, in case he really persuaded ......"

"We're out of town, what's the use of him convincing the queen?" The cave master said: "When we break through the Wei army's artillery array, I will want him to look good!" ”

The lord who brought the cave was determined to leave the city, and the leader of the barbarians who reminded him did not dare to say anything more.

Hundreds of war elephants left the city.

Zhuge Liang, who went up to the top of the city, heard the sound of war elephants howling from outside the city, and hurriedly ran to the side facing the outside of the city to watch.

When he saw the hordes of war elephants open the city gate, he immediately sighed in annoyance.

Just when Zhuge Liang was annoyed that he couldn't stop the elephant soldiers from leaving the city, Zhu Rong came to his side: "Why is Mr. Kong Ming sighing here?" ”

"Bringing the cave master to lead the elephant soldiers out of the city, is it the king's intention?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"He said that he was going to break the Wei army's artillery array, and I thought it should be possible, so I agreed." Zhu Rong said: "The elephant soldiers are good at charging, even if the Wei army is strong, it may not be able to stop them. ”

"What the king said is indeed true, but the Wei army has cannons." Zhuge Liang said: "There are still three or four hundred steps from here to the Wei army's artillery array, and they have already made arrangements before the cave master rushes to arrive." I'm afraid that the war elephants will go out and never come back! ”

"Sir, don't worry, although the war elephant looks stupid, it is not slow to run." Zhu Rong said: "If they go out of the city this time, if they can destroy the Wei army's artillery array, this battle will still have to be fought." ”

Zhu Rong thought too well, Zhuge Liang was just full of chagrin, but he didn't know what to say.

The elephant soldiers have already left the city, and they can only hope that they will not be defeated by the Wei army on all fronts, and they will be able to come back to some extent.

The city gates were bombarded open by cannons, and the Wei army had been watching the movements of the barbarians.

The artillerymen also did not return to the camp tents, but fell asleep next to the artillery.

Finding that the barbarian elephant soldiers were out of the city, the Wei army camp suddenly heard the shout of "the barbarian elephant soldiers are coming".

Hearing the shouts, the artillerymen got up one after another, and without waiting for the order at all, they immediately began to prepare for firing.

Huang Zhong had told them during the day that as long as there were barbarians out of the city at night, they would not have to wait for orders to fire immediately.

The artillery was still reloading, and groups of Wei troops ran up from behind.

Each of these Wei soldiers carried a cloth bag in his hand, and the cloth bag contained a lot of things.

Running in front of the artillery array, these Wei troops arrived forty or fifty miles away from the cannon, and took out things from the cloth bags and placed them on the ground.

The barbarian war elephants that came out of the city were getting closer and closer to them, but the Wei army that placed things had no intention of retreating.

Seeing that the war elephants in front were within range of their bows and arrows, they began to fire arrows at them.

The officer who took the lead whistled and beckoned the soldiers to retreat.

They stepped back, and the artillerymen, who had already prepared, adjusted their muzzles and fired shells at the charging war elephants.

The silence of the night was shattered as the barbarian war elephants left the city.

In the rumbling of cannons, the charging war elephants were instantly drowned in the light of the fire and the smoke rising into the sky.

He once suffered the loss of a frightened war elephant, and when he went out of the city, he brought the cave master to order people to blindfold the war elephants, and the barbarians on the elephant's back drove them to charge.

Although the blindfolded war elephant could not see the fire, his ears were filled with the loud sound of cannonballs exploding.

Loud noises can still drive war elephants into madness.

Amid the sound of the cannons, many of the war elephants no longer obeyed the control of the barbarians on horseback and began to scatter in all directions.

There are also some relatively tame ones, under the control of the barbarians, who continue to rush forward.

The artillery continued to fire, and as the barbarian war elephants rushed closer and closer, the power of the cannon was actually limited by the proximity.

Seeing that the war elephant was about to rush to the front, the artillerymen did not know what to do, and there was a violent explosion where the soldiers had placed their belongings.

The explosions came one after another, and the war elephants that were still rushing forward suddenly became a mess.

Riding on the back of a war elephant, the owner of the cave was also stunned by the explosion.

He watched as the cannon on the other side didn't fire, but the explosion continued, and it seemed to be right under their feet.

It was only at this time that the owner of the cave realized that he had been blown up outside Wanghai City earlier, and it was also this kind of explosion that was initiated from under his feet.

The barbarian elephants were in disarray, and at this time, three or four thousand archers with longbows ran out from behind the Wei artillery.

The archers came out of battle, and they all took arrows and aimed at the elephant soldiers in the chaos.

In front of each column of archers, a Wei soldier with a torch ran by.

Running past the archer, he lit each arrow with a torch.

The arrows burned, and the archers aimed at the barbarian war elephants and loosened their bowstrings.

The flaming arrows pierced the night sky like meteors, flying towards the chaotic barbarian war elephants.

Covered by rockets in the sky, the barbarians on the elephant's back were hit by arrows and fell, and the war elephants also let out a desperate howl and fell to the ground with a bang. 2k reading web
