Liu Dehai flew over from the rear, and Wang Yuan asked, "Did you bring anything?" ”

Liu Dehai pointed to the seven or eight large lanes pushed by hundreds of soldiers behind him: "It's all in the car." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Zhao Qing Tan Ping, act immediately." ”

Zhao Qing and Tan Ping promised loudly, and each led dozens of cavalry of the personal guard battalion to gallop away. Wang Yuan rode his horse and galloped to Gongsun Lan's side, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Lan jumped on the back of the horse and whispered: "How are you going to capture these elephants alive?" “

Wang Yuan rode his horse and galloped to a nearby elephant cavalryman, stretched out his mouth and said in Gongsun Lan's ear: "Wait and see." ”

Wang Yuan and hundreds of personal guards and cavalry rushed to the side of an elephant that was raging not far away, and Zhao Qing and Tan Ping also arrived with dozens of horses, and they had dozens of thick ropes on their shoulders. Zhao Qing shouted an order, and dozens of rope loops that were connected alive were thrown out and landed behind the front feet of the elephant. The elephant charged at the cavalry, and the crossbowmen above were tempted to shoot, but were overwhelmed by the numerous arrows that were fired at the elephant. Suddenly, one of the elephant's feet stepped into a loop. At the end of the rope loop, a guard immediately rode his horse and pulled the slipknot of the rope loop tight.

The elephant's footsteps were very powerful, and when the slipknot was tightened, the cavalry holding the other end of the rope did not have time to stop, and was suddenly dragged by the strength of the elephant's strides and fell off his horse. But soon, dozens of soldiers rushed forward and grabbed the end of the rope and began to pull. Dozens of soldiers were still dragged away by the elephant, but as the number increased, under the hard pull of hundreds of soldiers, one of the elephant's legs was pulled and could not stand. After a ferocious force, the elephant finally couldn't stand and fell to the ground with a bang. The elephant fortress fell heavily to the ground, and the barbarian crossbowmen inside fell to pieces, and before they could come to their senses, they were killed one by one by the Tang army that quickly rushed up.

After the elephant fell to the ground, a dozen or so cavalry guards immediately rushed forward and tied the elephant's four hooves firmly with long ropes.

"That's amazing!" Wang Yuan shouted, not knowing whether to praise his own method or marvel at the might of this elephant cavalry.

"Do you want to keep these elephant cavalry for yourself?" Gongsun Lan asked.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "This is the real heavy cavalry, I never dreamed of having such a heavy cavalry." Ge Luofeng sent it to the door, how could I not laugh. Even if they hurt many soldiers and horses, they will capture these monsters alive. ”

Gongsun Lan was speechless, and Wang Yuan loudly ordered Zhao Qing to use the same method to round up these elephant cavalry, and then set his eyes on the chaotic battlefield ahead. The Tang army had an absolute superiority in strength and had the upper hand in this melee. If it weren't for these elephant cavalry, I'm afraid they would have won long ago. But even so, most of the tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers who had been divided had already been killed or wounded. Although the losses of the Tang army were not small, the victory was basically decided.

"Let's go and kill and deal with these barbarians as soon as possible, otherwise Liu Jun's cavalry will not be able to parry." Wang Yuan rode his horse and galloped out, instantly rushing into the chaotic battle group in front of him, and with a raised hand, the long sword had already beheaded a barbarian. Gongsun Lan also screamed, the sword light in his hand, and the two of them rode into a no-man's land, rushing all the way to kill, leaving behind one brute corpse after another.

In the rear, as one elephant cavalry after another was captured, more Don soldiers were able to rush forward to join the battle group. Finally, after the tea, in the face of more and more fierce slashing of Jiannan soldiers and horses, the remaining more than 3,000 people in the front team of the Nanzhao barbarians began to collapse and flee. They fled to the rear, but Liu Jun saw the clue and ordered the cavalry to turn their horses and volley head-on. The front and rear flanking attacks quickly strangled the 3,000 barbarian soldiers, and Liu Jun's remaining 3,000 cavalry was able to smoothly join the army.

Ge Luofeng has been supervising the battle behind the barbarians, when the three hundred elephant cavalry rushed into the Tang army formation as if trampled into the land of no one, when the nearest 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed into the Tang army formation. At one point, Ge Luofeng smelled the smell of victory.

However, when the cavalry of the Tang army cut off the large charge of 20,000 barbarians in the rear from the flank, Ge Luofeng immediately realized that the Tang army was intending to swallow up all its elephant cavalry and 10,000 former troops. So he frantically ordered the rear team of soldiers and horses to break through the barrier formed by the six thousand cavalry, and the barbarians also rushed forward fearlessly under his urging. But the six thousand cavalry of the Tang Army were all elite, and under their trampling, every step had to pay a huge price.

Although relying on the advantage of numbers and the poisonous arrows of many blow archers, he successfully killed one Tang cavalry after another under the horse, but compared with it, the price paid was unequal. The cavalry charged back and forth like a torrent, and the Mo knives in their hands were extremely sharp, and the Nanzhao soldiers often had to stab them five or six times in their hard armor to kill them, while the other party only needed a slight wave of the Mo knife to make the brute soldiers disembowel, lose their arms, and break their legs. The gap in equipment is completely unequal.

Charge after charge, and be killed by the Tang cavalry again and again, and when nearly half of the Tang cavalry was killed, the barbarian rear team had already paid nearly half of the casualties. The number of dead and wounded has already exceeded eight thousand.

However, this is not the worst news, when the battle was raging, Ge Luofeng suddenly couldn't find his general. The great general Ah Hu was originally commanding the battle in front of the battle, but now he is nowhere to be seen.

Ge Luofeng sent people to look around, and on the other hand, he had to personally command the battle, but with Ah Hu by his side, Ge Luofeng lost the object to discuss, and he didn't know whether many decisions were right or wrong. In panic and anxiety, Ge Luofeng saw the complete annihilation of his own front army in front of him, and saw the yellow dust stirred up by the elephant cavalry falling to the ground one after another. He tried to command the elephant cavalry to turn around and charge again, but he soon found that it was in vain. The call of the horn did not work at all, because all the elephant cavalry was already under heavy encirclement of the Don army, and one by one they quickly fell.

However, when the cavalry of the Tang army quickly broke away from the battle and turned around and killed the Nanzhao soldiers and horses who had fled in front of them, as far as the eye could see, there was no longer a majestic figure of elephant cavalry in the Tang army's array. The 10,000 former troops and the 330 elephant cavalry were all destroyed. Moreover, only 12,000 of the 20,000 men in the rear army remained. In the camp of the Tang Army on the opposite side, there are still banners waving, swords and guns like a forest. The 3,000 cavalry before withdrawing to the Tang Army's formation were also reorganizing their formation, and a new round of attack was about to be launched soon.

"It's over, it's all over." It was only at this time that Ge Luofeng realized that victory was so far away, and how stupid it was to make the decision to face the enemy head-on today. When the battle began at noon, he still had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 300 elephant cavalry, and now, all this has come to naught. As long as the Tang army charges, the more than 10,000 people under his command will soon be dispersed.

"Lord, this battle can't be fought, and if it continues to fight, the whole army will be destroyed." A brute general shouted with blood on his face.

"Yes, my lord, withdraw it. Save these more than 10,000 brothers, and if you fight again, they will all be gone. Another barbarian general also said with a sad face.

"Withdraw, where to withdraw? Do you want to go back to the sheep and baa the city? Ge Luofeng looked back at the sheep and the city, the smoke in the city was still burning in full swing, and the flames had spread to every corner of the city, and it was already a ruined city.

"Lord, the sheep and the city must not be able to go back, it is already a dead place. And I can't hold it anymore. The bed crossbow at the head of the city has been dismantled, and we have lost too many men and horses, and we will die if we return. For now, we can only immediately retreat to the mountains and forests on both sides. As long as we retreat into the mountains and forests, the Tang army will not dare to chase after us no matter what. A barbarian general shouted.

Ge Luofeng hesitated, and subconsciously wanted to call Ah Hu to come up with an idea, but found that Ah Hu was no longer around. Ahead, the cavalry of the Tang Army had begun to move slowly, and the formation of the Tang Army was pressing over like a dark cloud, and he could no longer think too much.

"Okay, General Ajin, after you take 3,000 people, the rest will immediately retreat into the mountains and forests." Ge Luofeng said in a deep voice.

General Ah Jin, who was named by name, had a dead face, and after the break, he was going to be cannon fodder, and it was easy to survive, and it seems that he will not be spared.
