Chapter 81: What about the heavy armored elephant ride
As the heavy armored elephant cavalry of the Kansaro Kingdom continued to advance, when its vanguard was close to 200 zhang away from the Qin army's military array, all the men and horses in the rear team also entered the range of 350 zhang of the Qin army's hundred-man giant crossbow.

More than 10,000 crossbowmen in front of the Qin army released their arrows in unison, and a rain of arrows instantly became like a big black carpet, heading towards the heavily armored elephants of the Kansaro Kingdom.
Seeing this, Bi Liuli and the military advisor Hong Chou in the army of the Saluo Kingdom sneered again and again: "Hmph! Although your Qin army's bow and crossbow are powerful, my heavy-armored elephant team, whether it is an elephant or a rider, is all wearing heavy armor, I see how you shoot it"?
As these two expected, except for a few dozen cavalrymen of the Kansaro Kingdom, they were shot in the face by arrows and planted on the back of the elephant. The other cavalry were almost unharmed in the rain of arrows.
And those elephants, even if they are shot by arrows in places that are not covered by heavy armor, do not fall with them. These arrows only stimulated the ferocity of these beasts, and they rushed forward even more violently!
But how did they know that these crossbowmen were nothing more than a means used by Qin Feng to confuse them. After the crossbow arrow array, Li Tie looked at the heavily armored elephant rider in the distance and shouted: "Release"!
With a single order, 200 hundred-man giant crossbows fired 2,000 arrows in unison, roaring towards the front of the heavily armored elephants.
The cavalry of the Kansaro Kingdom riding on the back of the elephant saw that another arrow was being fired, and thought to himself that this group of Qin troops was really stupid, obviously the arrows they shot did not work, and they still did not give up! One by one, they smiled mockingly.
The commander of the Heavy Elephant Corps, Chaz, also laughed at the flying arrows.
At this moment, he saw a huge arrow about seven feet long coming towards him, and Chaz was taken aback and hurriedly dodged. But the hundred-man giant crossbow has an extremely high rate of fire, and when you see it, where else can you dodge.
The giant arrow "poofed" through Chaz's chest, and the remaining strength did not diminish in the slightest, flying him up and nailing him firmly to the ground behind him.
And his mount, the tall and mighty elephant, was pierced by a huge arrow, and he fell to the ground with one arrow, and lay on the ground wailing and wailing. The aimless salvo of these 2,000 arrows knocked over the heavily armored elephants and heavy cavalry, no less than hundreds.
Just when the sergeant of the Saluo Kingdom didn't know what was going on, Li Tie gave another order: "Release"!
The remaining 100-odd hundred-man giant crossbows shot more than 1,000 seven-foot arrows and roared towards the rear of the heavily armored elephants.
For a time, hundreds of elephants were shot over in the rear of the heavy armored elephants of the Saluo country, and only these two volleys were fired, and the heavy armored elephants of the Saluo country had already lost two percent.
The lord of the kingdom of Kansaro, Viliuli, and the military advisor Hong Chou were stupid, looking at the elephant that fell to the ground and wailed in front of them, what kind of arrow is this? What kind of bow is this? How is it possible to shoot through heavy armor? How is it possible to shoot an elephant to death?
You must know that the heavy armor of the elephant riding armor is extremely heavy, if you are not a strong person, after putting on the heavy armor, you can hardly stand, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy!
There is also the heavy armor worn by elephants, which is almost not armor, but pieces of iron, plus the elephant itself has thick skin and rough flesh, how can these arrows shoot through?
Only at this time did the lord of the state of Kansaro, Bi Liuli, know why the Qin army knew that he had 5,000 heavily armored elephant riders, and would agree to fight him in a decisive battle in the wild. Bi Liuli also understood why the Qin army set up an ambush last time and hid these giant crossbows without using them, they were waiting for their five thousand heavy armored elephant horsemen to be sent to the door!
The military advisor Hong Chou looked at the giant arrows, and looked at the heavily armored elephant rider who was hit by an arrow. Four big words came to mind - the hundred-man giant crossbow! It is a deadly weapon that only exists in the historical books of the Scriptures, and only exists in the legendary First Emperor Legion.
Legend has it that this hundred-man giant crossbow has a range of three or four hundred zhang, and the First Emperor's army has always used it to shoot enemy generals. It is precisely because of the appearance of this hundred-man giant crossbow that when the armies of the six countries of Shandong fought with the Qin army, the commanders of the three armies did not dare to approach the front of the battle, for fear of this sharp weapon for ultra-long-distance shooting.
How many hundred-person giant crossbows did this Qin army in front of him be equipped with, and they actually shot thousands of arrows at a time, it seems that he still underestimated the strength of this Qin army!
His own talent and ambition, is it really going to be cut off by this Qin army that came out of nowhere?
"Lord, quickly send the order of the heavy armored elephant to ride back! It's all over if it's late"!
Bi Liuli, who was still stunned, woke up when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the heavy armored elephant team to retreat, and ordered the army behind him to prepare for the Qin army's large-scale attack.
However, the inertia of the elephant is great when it runs, and with the heavy armor of the cavalry on its body and the elephant's back, the inertia is even greater. In the state of running at high speed, it is not so easy to turn around and run back, even stopping.
At this time, the 200 hundred-man giant crossbows launched by the Qin army in the first round had already been reloaded with arrows. I only listened to Li Tie's order: "Release"! Another 2,000 seven-foot arrows roared towards the heavily armored elephant riders of the Kanzaro Kingdom.
It's all a long story, but it's just a blink of an eye. I saw that these 2,000 seven-foot giant arrows shot hundreds of heavily armored elephant riders. Then there were more than 1,000 seven-foot arrows, and then 2,000 giant seven-foot arrows. In an instant, the Qin army's hundred-man giant crossbow had already fired five rounds of salvos.
At this time, the heavily armored elephant riders of the Sasolo Kingdom had been shot more than 6 percent. The remaining less than 2,000 heavily armored elephant riders, less than 50 zhang away from the Qin army's array, finally stopped their forward rush and began to turn around and retreat.
But the elephant is such a huge and bulky thing, and it is wearing heavy armor, and the acceleration must be slow, and the heavy armored cavalry on the back of the elephant is eager to use a knife to cut the elephant under the crotch, just begging him to run faster!
But since you are here, how can Qin Feng let you go. In addition to the hundred-man giant crossbow, the Qin army's more than 10,000-foot crossbowmen aimed and shot one after another. Although the range and power of the foot crossbow cannot be compared with the hundred-man giant crossbow, the effect of such a close shot is not much worse.
I saw a volley of crossbow arrows from the foot crossbow of the Qin army, and hundreds of heavily armored elephant riders of the Saluo Kingdom were hit by arrows and fell. Then came the second round, the third round.
With the cooperation of the Qin army's foot crossbow arrow array and the hundred-person giant crossbow, when these heavy-armored elephants of the Saluo Kingdom galloped out of 200 zhang, the five thousand heavy-armored elephants rode were already less than a hundred.
At this time, the Qin army's foot crossbow did not pose the slightest threat to these heavily armored elephant riders who fled for their lives. Li Tie smiled coldly and ordered more than 300 hundred-person giant crossbows to be loaded with a single arrow. No matter how much you can run on a heavy elephant ride, can you run within the range of 350 zhang?
As he spoke, he saw more than 300 seven-foot arrows shot from the Qin army's camp behind him, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "Because of the extremely high rate of fire, these long arrows tore through the air and roared.
The remaining hundred or so cavalry cavalry were startled, and they came? I didn't even dare to look back, I just desperately whipped the elephant under my crotch, please, you can run faster! If Lao Tzu can go back alive, he can offer you as an ancestor in the future!
More than 300 hundred-man giant crossbows were aimed at and then shot in a round, and there were already more than 30 left. Then another round of accurate shooting, the 5,000 heavily armored elephants of the Sazaro Kingdom were ridden, and only one of them was still running towards their own army.
This only living heavy armored elephant rider is more than 300 zhang away from the Qin army's military array, and less than 30 zhang away from the military array of the Saluo Kingdom.
The only living heavy armored cavalry of the Saluo Kingdom looked at the robes around him that fell to the ground one by one, listened to the sharp and piercing sound of long arrows breaking through the air behind him, and looked at the gradually approaching army formation of his own camp. I thought that Lao Tzu's life is really big, and when I go back, I will never be a fucking cavalryman again!
Li Tie looked at the only heavily armored elephant rider who had already run away, and smiled coldly. Personally controlling a hundred-person giant crossbow, after aiming with one eye slightly narrowed, the machine in his hand was loosened, and a seven-foot long arrow "swished", chasing the only living heavy armored elephant of the Saluo Kingdom to ride for his life.
At this time, the only lucky man had already rushed into his own military formation, and the elephant rushed forward with more than one momentum, killing dozens of soldiers of the Kansaro Kingdom.
At this moment, a seven-foot long arrow shot into the man's back with unmistakable accuracy, piercing through the back armor and then through the chest, and then penetrating the heavy armor on the chest. With no reduction in his strength, he flew forward with this person, and only stopped before the Chinese army of Biliuli and nailed this person to the ground.
And here, it is less than 3 zhang away from the location of the Chinese army in Biliuli.
