Zhang Xutuo said decisively: "These war elephants are fierce beasts, no one's wisdom, the next time we fight, the enemy should still take the lead with these beasts, we can think of other ways to scare these beasts to retreat or run away, so that in turn they can step on the infantry behind them, our army will take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and it will be a big victory." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the generals changed, and there were many discussions, Shi Wansui said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dudu, the army has no jokes, you have also seen the madness and bloodlust of those war elephants, the crazy beast is rampaging among our army, it can trample many of us to death as long as it runs around, it is not child's play, what can you do to scare these war elephants into turning around and running away before they come into contact with our army, and turn to step on their soldiers?" ”

Zhang Xutuo's eyes flashed: "Beasts are often afraid of fire, our army can set up some roadblocks in front of it according to what General Yang said, slow down the impact of the war elephants, and pile dozens of firewood piles, pouring fire oil on them, and when the war elephants approach, they will use rockets to ignite the fire, and then beat the gongs and drums, presumably they can scare the war elephants away." ”

Shi Wansui's brows eased slightly, but there was still no joy on his face, he looked at Zhang Xutuo and asked: "Zhang Dudu, you are the closest to these beasts in today's battle, and you know them best, what Ben Shuai saw was that when you fought hand-to-hand with these beasts, they were crazy, can you make sure that this method can work?" Although most of the beasts are afraid of fire, this war elephant is not an ordinary beast, and if this method cannot stop them, it will be a big trouble. Besides, if the enemy saw a pyre in front of them, would they still let the war elephants rush forward like this? ”

Wang Shichong suddenly had an idea and gave a military salute: "Handsome." I have a way to make it impossible for the war elephants to rush up. ”

Shi Wansui looked at Wang Shichong: "General Wang, there is no joke in the army, you have to think about it and then say it, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, in case this idea doesn't work, it will be done by military law." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, Zhang Xutuo's words inspired him just now, and he only dared to speak out after he had a full grasp, only to hear him say unhurriedly: "The last general has seen Zhuge Cheng's method of dealing with this war elephant in the history books. Such a behemoth. We must not allow it to approach our army, or even if we can injure it with a lance and a bow and arrow, it will make it bloodthirsty and furious, and it will be extremely difficult to contain. Only let him turn around at a certain distance from our army. Zhang Dudu's vision. That's right. ”

Shi Wansui's face sank like water: "But General Wang, are you sure that Zhang Dudu's method will definitely work?" I'm afraid that even he doesn't dare to guarantee the ticket. Zhang Xutuo's face flushed slightly, and he bowed. Returned to his original position.

But Wang Shichong still looked calm: "Marshal Shi, back then, Prime Minister Zhuge used a war horse to put on a tiger skin, and then tied two horns on his head, so that he could scare those war elephants, in fact, it was the same reason as these barbarian soldiers who painted oil paint on their faces and wore animal bones, all in order to be able to scare their opponents.

The tiger is the king of the jungle, even if it is a war elephant, it is also fearful, this time our army went out, if the last general is not mistaken, there are dozens of tiger skins for equipment, and when the time comes, let the war horse be draped, it can make these giant beasts fearful and stop moving. ”

Shi Wansui's eyes flashed: "Did Zhuge Liang really defeat the war elephant like this back then?" General Wang, what kind of military book are you reading, and what kind of marshal has you never seen it? ”

Wang Shichong said secretly in his heart: Can I tell you that I watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? But he still replied: "Dashuai, the last general is also a remnant of a military book that I saw when I was a teenager on a study tour, the name is no longer examinable, but it seems to be a bamboo slip from the Shu Han period of the Three Kingdoms, and it says that Zhuge Wuhou used a war horse to wear a tiger skin, plus the method of igniting fire to scare off these giant beasts."

The last general thought that this method was feasible, and if he wanted to add another insurance, then dig some small pits near the firewood pile on the battlefield, the war elephants are bulky, and they will sink into these small pits, and then shoot them with a strong crossbow, plus the fire and tiger-skin war horses, they will definitely be able to scare these war elephants to turn around and run back. ”

The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded again and again, only Shi Wansui remained silent and asked: "General Wang, how can we dig pits and put firewood piles on the battlefield without attracting the attention of the enemy?" Your solution is good, but how to solve this problem? The enemy is not stupid, and will give us the opportunity to dig a pit and put a pyre on this flat land. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I have a plan to make the enemy army willingly take the initiative to attack our army's well-laid position." ”

Three days later, the battlefield between the two armies was flat, and the corpses left by the bloody battle a few days ago had been recovered and buried by their respective soldiers, and the blood stains were still left on the grass tips, and many blood clots that had been trampled into flesh by the war elephants congealed on the ground, piled up in the east and west, attracting swarms of mosquitoes and flies, and the smell of rotting flesh made people smell sick.

Behind them were more than 100 war elephants, as well as 40,000 or 50,000 densely packed, holding rattan shields and iron knives, white barbarian warriors wearing rattan armor and shirtless warriors waving broadswords in both hands.

He pointed to the other party's camp, and said to his brother next to him with a smile: "Big brother, it seems that the Sui people have been frightened, we have challenged again and again in the past few days, and they can only shrink into this camp. It's all thanks to you, big brother. ”

A hint of pride also flashed on his face: "Brother, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Leader Li of Jiaozhou lent me these two hundred war elephants, this battle would not have been fought like this, the Sui people don't know how powerful this war elephant is, and it was foggy that day, which gave us the maximum room for the war elephants, so we can break its front army in a battle, and I only hate that our army was also affected by the impact in the fog, otherwise the Sui army would have been defeated that day." But now that they are holding on to the camp like this, it is also troublesome, and it seems that they want to wait for reinforcements here. ”

He waved his hand: "This is our place, not afraid of dragging, and the Sui army has come from afar, and the grain road is thousands of miles, we only need to confront them here all the time, the Sui army will not last, and when the division veterans are tired, we will chase and kill the troops, and we will definitely win a big victory." ”

Jiao Zhen glanced at the Sui army camp in the distance, thoughtfully, he shook his head: "I think the Sui army doesn't seem to want to stick to and wait for help, but is ready to slip away, the war elephants are here, and they don't have a large number of ironclad cavalry, and they can't compete with us head-on on the plain, brother, if the Sui army starts to withdraw from the army, we will use war elephants to open the way, forcibly break through the guardrail of their camp, and then kill into the camp, and teach the Sui people not to return the armor!"

He smiled, and was about to speak, when the voice of the planing suddenly sounded from behind: "Big Chief, Big Chief, send troops quickly, the Sui people are running away!"

Fu Jin's face changed, and he turned his head to look behind him, only to see that Ji Jin was sweating profusely and panting from running, standing behind him.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked.

While wiping the sweat on his face, he said excitedly: "From last night to this morning, the Sui army has been transferring their wounded and Shu soldiers backwards, I have seen with my own eyes, there are six or seven thousand people who retreated from the avenue behind their camp to the rear, and I am afraid that there are only more than 10,000 northern soldiers left in their camp at this time, the big chief, give an order, eliminate these northern soldiers, and those Shu people will definitely collapse." ”

He smiled, turned his head and said to Zhen Zhen: "Big brother, hear it, it must be those timid Shu troops who dare not fight anymore, that day Shi Wansui let these Shu troops take the lead, but their front army was almost wiped out, so now the Shu soldiers have slipped away, the enemy army is not in harmony, and the morale of our army is like a rainbow, which is a good opportunity to annihilate the northern soldiers with all their spirit." Big brother, it's up to our brothers!"

Jian Zhen pulled out the big knife stuck in his back and pointed at the Sui army camp three miles away: "The war elephant is attacking!" The infantry will follow up, and with the blood of the Sui people, we will help my land!" (To be continued......)
