Chapter 427: Clever Tricks to Break the Elephant Soldiers (1)

After this incident, it was somewhat inappropriate to continue to stay here to fish, and the henchmen hurriedly shook the oars and rowed the boat to the shore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But that fisherman is really powerful. Knowing that the matter was serious, he was afraid that he would be killed, so he dived into the water early, and in order to prevent being chased and killed, he kept hiding under this small boat. The most dangerous places are often the safest places.

As for Fang Cai's affairs, he heard it clearly, and knew that the person in front of him was Chen Zhuang, the seething usurper in the city. As for the person who came later, he was called a general, and he was also from Qin, it seems that these people were just trying to conspire to kill the magnates of Bashu. The fisherman heard it clearly.

Of course, there are also the traps they have set, but at this time, he seems very hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the city guards the news, or pretend not to know. The fisherman climbed onto the boat, rowed the boat to the center of the river, and took back all the black ghosts, these black ghosts are the capital of his family's life, and he dare not be careless.

"A few days ago, it was rumored in the city that the wife of the Jiangyou guard once sent a henchman to Chengdu to deliver a message, saying that she was on guard against the Qin army. But the king of Shu not only ignored it, but also ridiculed him, and this person had no choice but to die in the palace. If you go this time, I'm afraid you will follow in the footsteps of this person, it seems that it doesn't matter, as for whose world, for Xiao Lao'er, there is no difference! After all, the fisherman chose to remain silent.

Reluctant to come out and tell the people in the city what they know, most of them still have lessons from the past. To put it bluntly, when Du Yu, the king of Shu, ridiculed the person who sent the letter, he had already blocked the road for everyone to offer advice. No one is willing to risk their lives to send a letter again, it seems that this Bashu's dream of recovering the country.

Obviously, there is no longer the strength to continue, and the death of Du Yu, the king of Shu, has, to some extent, already foreshadowed the failure of this operation. At this time, although Chen Wan occupied Chengdu, it seemed that he still had great strength to entangle with the Qin army, but in fact, he was just dying. When Meng Shuo returned to the camp, everyone was waiting anxiously, and when Meng Shuo came back, he hurriedly stepped forward and reported:

"General Qiqi, the scout has important information delivered!"

"Oh! What's up? Meng said that along the way, he was still planning, how to lure Chen Wan, a cunning fox, out of the city, but at this moment, he heard the scouts on the periphery and had important news to report, and he couldn't help but be surprised, so he put down the plan in his heart first and asked.

"General Qiqi, the barbarian's reinforcements are only dozens of miles away from here, presumably they can rush here tonight, there are countless war elephants among the reinforcements, and the war horses of our army are afraid of war elephants and dare not come forward to fight!" The Ranger's scout reported.

The Ranger was a light infantry on the battlefield, and although it was simple but very well-equipped, it was used to protect crossbowmen from enemy attacks and to protect important siege equipment. Once the army is encamped, the Rangers will be scattered around the army to detect the enemy's attack, guard against the opponent's approaching reconnaissance, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of spying on the enemy.

It stands to reason that these rangers are all very elite warriors, and they actually heard such a description, which was really a surprise to Meng Shuo.

"What? Horses don't dare to come forward to fight? Meng Shuo was taken aback, for Meng Shuo, who was born in the north, naturally he didn't know how powerful the war elephant was, and there was no good way to crack it. The current situation is even more tense, and once these war elephants appear here, I am afraid that the entire army will collapse without a fight. On the battlefield, the cavalry, which plays a huge role, can't play any role at this time, which is really worrying.

Meng Shuo thought about countermeasures, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to do the bushido:

"Drumming Gathering!"

The war drums rumbled, and after a while, the generals and colonels came one after another, and Bai Qi had already woken up from his coma, knowing that the situation was urgent, so he insisted on rushing to the meeting. Meng said that when he saw that all the generals had come, he said above the big tent:

"The generals have gathered you today to discuss important matters! The scout came to report, saying that the barbarian reinforcements were only a few dozen miles away from here, and they would arrive at sunset at the latest! As he spoke, he looked at the generals and colonels in the stand.

After everyone heard the news, they were still a little panicked, at this moment, the strength in the military camp was still a little difficult to deal with the people in Chengdu City, not to mention that there was such a new force, and they couldn't help but mutter.

"General! With these barbarians, kill one by one, come with two, kill a pair! If there is anything to discuss, the last general is willing to lead his troops. One of the generals in the tent instinctively took the initiative to ask. In this way, other generals were also eager to try, but Meng Shuo shook his head and said:

"Generals, don't be anxious, there are still countless war elephants in this barbarian reinforcements!"

"War elephants?" Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what it was. War elephants, for these people, are very unfamiliar, elephants, because of their huge size, after training, when fighting, charge into battle, brave and invincible, can break the city gate, destroy the barracks, dismantle weapons, step on the enemy, trap the enemy, often cause great damage to the enemy.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, soldiers began to train elephants in the Yellow River valley to allow them to participate in warfare. But for the Qin people on the Longxi Plateau, the elephant is really unfamiliar, and it is impossible to describe this thing, just like a blind man touching an elephant, let alone fighting with this thing, and there is no experience in fighting it at all.

"The last general is willing to lead his cavalry to meet this war elephant for a while!" Another general stepped forward and said.

Seeing this, the scout stepped forward and said:

"Generals, this war elephant is huge, the horses are afraid of its height, and the smell of this war elephant is also unbearable for the horses, so I planned to take advantage of its unpreparedness and lead the crowd to attack, but the horses did not dare to move forward at all!" As soon as these words came out, everyone understood the seriousness of the situation, and it turned out that the war horse could not move forward at all.

"Why don't you shoot with a crossbow?" The general said with some unconvinced.

"War elephants have rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention bows and arrows, even swords may not be able to stab! The last general had seen with his own eyes that these barbarian generals were sharpening their swords on the bodies of war elephants as they walked. If it's fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand such friction. The scout continued.

When everyone heard this, they realized the seriousness of the problem, and they really didn't expect that this war elephant was so powerful, it was simply an invulnerable fortress of activity.

"How's that okay?" Everyone started to talk about it, and Meng Shuo saw that Bai Qi didn't say a word, knowing that at this time, he must be planning a method in his heart.

Then he asked:

"What is General Bai Qi's opinion?"

Bai Qi heard that Meng Shuo was shouting about himself, so he immediately stood up and said:

"The last general has no way at this time, but the soldiers have words, know themselves and know the enemy, in order to survive a hundred battles, although this war elephant is burly, but it is not without weaknesses. The scout came to report that these war elephants were huge, but they didn't know how big they were. And how does this elephant fight? ”
