Chapter 86: Shocking Thunder Scared the Elephant Army, Vikas Died in the Formation (Part I)
The long river of history is rolling, like a seven-colored rainbow. Joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, horror, how many swords and swords! Every war has always been cruel, especially the war at the peak of cold weapons. The generals who have experienced the war have all cherished the lives of their soldiers, and only they understand the preciousness of life, and only they understand that it is better to live than anything else......
Wang Xuance's words were like a powerful bomb, and the 20,000 elephant army and 10,000 infantry of Alonashun were bombarded in an instant, whispering and discussing. Looking at this restless military heart, Aronashun didn't want to say anything more; So, the flag waved...... The 20,000 Vientiane Army, under the personal leadership of the Elephant Army General Vikas, struggled to crush the Tang Coalition Army......
The fundamental purpose of Alona Shun is to use the expertise of the elephant army to completely crush Wang Xuance's Tang coalition army in the open land of the Jiajia River, relying on the solidity of this tea horse and Luocheng; Then there will be the Tiger Army General personally leading 10,000 infantry to clean up the mess!
His ideas, though very sound, also seemed very desirable in the history of warfare in the Five Indians; But history is often played like this, and people who already feel infallible.
Every new weapon, when it is born, will always catch people off guard, and it will be unexpected. Surprisingly winning is a magic weapon hidden by these thoughtful generals.
These mighty and tall war elephants, under the skillful control of the drivers, are neat and skillful; It crushed like a huge, thick wall. If the other party is unarmed, no, even if it is a soldier with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, if there is no effective way, it will not be able to stop their impact and trampling!
But behold, the elephant general Vikas was dressed in armor, armed with a spear, and with a stiff bow at his waist; Under the control of the driver, Qi Yu stood on the chariot on the back of this war elephant, commanding these 4,000 Potti war elephants to rush towards the Tang Dynasty coalition army!
And Wang Xuance and the others, at the Uncovered Conference many years ago, also saw these elephant armies in person, which really made people who met for the first time tremble. However, it is precisely because of his strength and uniqueness that Wang Xuance has studied a lot and understood a lot on this issue. Originally, it was just a curious study, but I never thought that it would be used in this way for war!
Each war elephant basically has only one fixed driver (elephant trainer). It is precisely because the elephant is a very sensitive and intelligent animal that not only has a very strong memory, but also has this human-like emotion. Elephants are originally social animals, with females living in the herd with their mothers, while males leave the herd between the ages of 10 and 17 to live alone!
Of course, the war elephants led by Vikas were all males. In order to domesticate them, they had to be taken away by the mahogany shortly after they were born, and they were forced to separate mother and child. Then the elephant trainer will put them in a very small cage, where they can only stand, they cannot move freely, and they will use all kinds of cruel means to train them, torture their nature, and consume their minds!
If the male elephants did not listen to the elephant trainers, they would be beaten. For the baby elephant who stubbornly does not obey the instructions, the corporal punishment is constantly increased. The male elephant who left his mother in this way, after experiencing physical and mental devastation. With their unique memory function, they gradually gave up resistance and obeyed the instructions of the pilot. And when they reached adulthood, they became fierce war elephants, and then formed the elephant army.
Although the elephant and the rider have a deep affection and listen to them very much. But that doesn't mean they don't have the slightest weakness, just as war horses are often easily frightened, and so are war elephants. Because of elephants, the biggest weakness is that they are afraid of unfamiliar scenes and sounds!
As the war elephant rushed in unison, Vikas wore a look of relief and arrogance; Looking at the Tang coalition army, which was still unmoving, he was overjoyed. Suddenly, a change in the Tang Coalition not only made his heart tremble, but also made him feel quite surprised!
But seeing that Wang Xuance ordered the flag to wave, I saw that many soldiers on both sides of the military array, under the leadership of the Minister of State Sajai Khan, took out a lot of firecrackers from the cloth bags on their backs, and after lighting them one by one, they all threw them to the open space on the side, and suddenly crackled, and the crackling sound resounded in the sky, echoing for a long time over the tea horse and the Luocheng battlefield.
And Xiao Liu, who led hundreds of strong soldiers, came to this Mo swordsman in an orderly and clever manner, took out the small sky-shaking thunder that he carried with him, and after igniting it, he also threw these elephant troops to Vikas one by one. In an instant, a miscellaneous and disorderly barrage was formed!
The two armies faced each other, naturally separated from this wide open space, although none of these barrages and firecrackers blew up these war elephants. But it turned the tide of the war, and it was precisely because the elephant was frightened by unfamiliar sounds and scenes that instantly shocked Vikas, who had been riding the elephant for many years.
When the firecrackers rang off, these war elephants had already made a slight movement, and some of them had not listened to the pilot's control; When Xiao Liu, with many elite soldiers, threw one by one the earth-shaking thunders to the front of the formation, although some of these earth-shaking thunders were slightly delayed due to the long leads; Some of them exploded rapidly because the lead was too short; But this does not affect the earth-shattering sound that ensues.
As a result, the war elephants who had never seen this world were completely frightened by the scene in front of them. Coupled with the sound of explosions one after another, the sound shook the sky; Not only did these war elephants fear everything in front of them, but they also stopped moving, and at the same time, many war elephants had the momentum of retreating. Not long after, with the sound of earth-shattering, a frightened war elephant turned around like this and rushed towards the tea horse and Luo Cheng.
The elephant general, Vikas, stood atop the frightened war elephant, and was also staggered by its haphazard rampage. But the general is really a general, facing such a dangerous situation; still vigorously waved the command flag and commanded the elephant army; Command the driver to quickly correct his posture.
But it seemed that it was too late, looking at the elephant army that turned around, Wang Xuance then waved the flag again. Lipocri, Dunzhu Gongpot and others, led part of the horse army that had not been frightened, and rushed forward. They did not chase and kill this time, but at a certain distance, continuing to set off firecrackers and throwing earth-shaking thunder!
Hearing the sound of the explosion getting closer and closer, these war elephants rushed to the rear as if they had gone crazy......
The editor said: This should be the first time in history that gunpowder has been applied on the battlefield, although it is not lethal, but it has influenced the situation of the war!
