In the era of cold weapons, the superiority of war elephants is incomparable to that of other arms. In the land of the five Indias, because of the mild climate, lush vegetation and abundant food, it is suitable for elephants to breed. Therefore, the elephant has not only become a status symbol, but also a standard configuration for major powers.

In the war, it plays a role like a tank in a modern army, a trained war elephant, under the control of a driver, charging into battle and being brave and invincible. It can break through city gates, destroy barracks, dismantle weapons, trample on enemy troops, trap enemy formations, and often cause great damage to the enemy. In the years when the king of the sun conquered the south and the north, it was with these war elephants that he became the leader of the five Indias.

The main role of the war elephant is to trample and break through the enemy line as it charges. War elephants rushing towards the enemy can not only create panic and panic among the enemy army; In addition, the horse is not accustomed to the smell of elephants, which can cause the enemy horse to be frightened and stumble.

Unlike cavalry horses, on the one hand, war elephants have thick skins, making it extremely difficult to kill or defeat them on the battlefield of the Age of Weapons. It is precisely because of its invulnerable nature that it is difficult for infantry spear formations to stop it.

On the other hand, the usual war elephants are bulls, so why should they be? Because bulls are faster and more aggressive, they can kill more enemies. In other words, war elephants may be regarded as the earliest horror weapons used on the battlefield of cold weapons.

The power of the war elephant charge lies on the one hand in his destructive power, and on the other hand in its momentum. Under the impact of its huge power, it can not only easily break down the enemy's formation and trample the enemy's soldiers, but also wield its fangs to destroy and kill. In view of such a horrific scene, the part of the enemy army that was not crushed would at least be driven aside by the charge of the war elephants, or retreat under its oppression.

In addition, one of the great characteristics of the war elephant is its momentum, in the face of such a behemoth, it does not need to come into contact with the enemy to cause panic, and the enemy will flee in fear in the face of their charge! And this is the morale that is emphasized in the ancient Chinese art of war; In other words, the earliest psychological warfare and psychological weapons.

On the stage of history in the seventh century, the war elephant not only showed his unparalleled exploits, but also brought this unparalleled exploit to its climax. However, when the two civilizations collided with each other in this simple way, this splendor came to an abrupt end; In the long history of the future, it is difficult to find its trace!

Of course, in the face of the advantages and disadvantages of war elephants, Wang Xuance, a person who is full of curiosity about new things, will naturally understand it clearly, and the head is the way. And the way to understand it is not only what he has seen and heard during his two missions to India. More often than not, Master Xuanzang, a monk who has lived in India for more than ten years.

Master Xuanzang is not only quite familiar with the customs and habits of the five Indians, but he is also a good hand at controlling war elephants. Because of this, when the king of Kumora set off on his return home, he gave him a green elephant as a prayer.

Therefore, when Wang Xuance decided to go on another expedition from the kingdom of Vilojuna, he had already made some preparations, but he had not yet verified whether these preparations worked.

At this time, Alona Shun had already led a large army into this tea horse and Luo City. Because of the evil deeds of Prad slaughtering the city half a year ago, there is not much population in this tea and Luo city at this time, and the royal palace is already in ruins. Seeing such a situation, he also said to the two generals with regret: "I never thought that this change would be so great, it is really unpredictable!" ”

"Since ancient times, there have been countless successes and defeats, rises and falls, so the king does not have to feel nostalgic," Lagarde, the general of the Tiger Army, replied casually.

"Yes, this is all the queen's own sin, and he doesn't enjoy the good fortune, but wants to rebel, which he deserves!" The elephant army general Vikas also chimed in!

At this time, Aronashun didn't say anything more. However, in the face of an empty city with a small population, it is just possible to use the remaining houses to house the soldiers. So he immediately ordered all the sergeants to enter the private house to rest, and he chose the former office as a temporary submersion residence to prepare for war!

A few days later, Wang Xuance had already led the Tang Dynasty coalition army to the outside of this tea and Luo city, chose a high ground, and set up camp. A big war is about to break out. Since the other party is ready to fight, he will take command and fight in person; Wang Xuance was also not to be outdone, and led the army in person!

It was another gloomy first half of the day, and Wang Xuance personally led 20,000 Tang Dynasty coalition troops to line up outside this tea and Luo Cheng. I saw that in front of this military formation, there was still a Mo swordsman sitting on the ground led by Zhou Zeng as the front formation; The 1,000 crossbowmen led by Chen Maocai followed, and the 3,000-horned archers led by Prapad were in the rear; The cavalry led by Kampot Dhondrup and Lippo Capricorn was distributed on both flanks; The rest of the generals followed Wang Xuance and surrounded them all under the banner of this coalition army! However, the only special thing is that the Minister of State, Sajai Khan and Xiaoliu, with a lot of soldiers, carrying a bulging cloth bag and holding a fire-starting object in their hands, lined up at the outermost part of the military formation, waiting for the battle......

And here, Alonashun personally piloted this white elephant of his own, and lined up majestically in front of the battle; The Tiger General Lagarde and the Elephant General Vikas personally defended him. Thousands of war elephants relied on Cha Yu and Luo Cheng to set up a good formation, a magnificent momentum, which made people frightened!

Although the two armies faced each other, hundreds of battles apart; But in the face of such a situation, many war horses who have never seen war elephants smell this smell, and they are also a little flustered. Seeing such a scene, Alonashun was also overjoyed, and felt quite disdainfully: With your method of arranging troops, I played the leftovers; Look at me and take your life, and I will succeed in the first battle!

"King, we have to pay more attention, you look at the hundreds of heavily armored soldiers sitting on the ground in front of you, although they are very loose; But I heard that it is called a Mo swordsman, and his combat effectiveness is quite good, and General Sawar was defeated by their sword! The Tiger Army General Lagarde looked at the military formation from afar, and cautiously reminded Arona to take the way.

"Brother Xian is too worried, since the formation of our elephant army, I haven't heard of any war knife that can destroy it, so don't worry!" Alonashun casually returned.

"Yes, the Tiger Army General, who is usually so majestic, how can he be so arrogant and destroy his own prestige today" Vikas, the general of the Elephant Army, also looked at Wang Xuance's army formation from a distance with disdain, and said to him.

In light of this, Garrard didn't have much to say. It's just quite clever to watch every move of the opponent's military array!

What happens next? Will Wang Xuance's army be able to restrain Alonashun's elephant army?
