Chapter 410: The Death of a War Elephant

Under the city of Guizhou, both sides are planning, accumulating, and preparing to destroy each other in one fell swoop.

At this time, Yang Yi suddenly summoned Guizhou that it was very likely that there would be wind and rain in recent days, and asked Liu Wu and others to analyze the pros and cons and draw up a combat plan to deal with extreme weather.

Legend has it that Kong Ming can borrow the east wind, but Yang Yi can also predict the wind and rain?

If someone else is changed, there may be doubts, but Liu Wu and Yu Xing will not, who dares to doubt Yang Yi's words, they will definitely clean up first.

Although Yang Yi did not give Liu Wu a very clear order this time, considering that the rain would seriously affect the use of flintlock pistols and grenades, after several people discussed, they decided to immediately launch a strong attack on Ke Changluo.

Su Qingliang's remaining troops were 6,000, plus Liu Wu and his more than 5,000 horses. After leaving a small number to defend the city, 10,000 troops marched out of the south gate, covering the sun with flags, and 10,000 horses roaring, and rushed to Ke Changluo's camp with murderous spirit.

Ke Changluo's camp was ten miles away from the city, facing the mountains in the west, facing the river in the east, and running through the north and south, in fact, Liu Wu and they could only attack from the north.

And the north side of the camp is a slope of 45 degrees, and the wall is made of logs, which is condescending, which is very unfavorable to Liu Wu and them. It can be seen from the camping site chosen by Ke Changluo that this person is not a military man.

Knowing that the Song army took the initiative to attack, Ke Changluo was secretly happy, although his battalion was not as strong as Guizhou City, it was definitely not easy to break, and Ke Changluo was confident that the blood of the Song army would stain the Xijiang River again. He personally arranged his troops and sat in the north camp, where there were many swords and guns on the wall, and thousands of archers were listed inside the wall. The arrows are full of pots, the bow is in hand, and when the Song army attacks, they can shoot an overwhelming rain of arrows......

In terms of the Song army, Liu Wu had the highest rank and was given command by Yang Yi, while Su Qingliang and others could only follow orders. The cavalry was not suitable for attacking the city, and the task of the main attack undoubtedly fell on Su Qingliang again.

The cowhide drum rumbled, and the beat of the drum became more and more urgent. The sound shook the world, and a killing aura suddenly filled the four fields.

The soldiers in charge of the main attack formed a long formation of 100 men, and the shields of one man high were tightly blocked in front and overhead. Like an iron wall, it is difficult to penetrate through the wind and rain, except for catapults and beds, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to inflict fatal damage on such a shield array.

As the beat of the drum changed, the soldiers took a solid and neat step under the command of the head of the capital, and the entire shield array began to advance slowly......

At this time, Yu Xing's 1,000 men and horses were already lined up on both sides, Yu Xing held a treasure knife in his hand, pointed at the enemy's camp, and shouted: "First row, aim." Shoot! ”

Bang! Bang! Bang......

"Second row, shoot!"

Bang! Bang! Bang......

With Yu Ju's order, the flintlock pistol was the first to attack, opening the curtain of the war, and bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the air. Rows of bullets whistled away, and the Vietnamese soldiers on the walled wall were caught off guard, and many people fell to the ground before they could even scream.

"Get down! Get down! Nguyen Binh, the adjutant general of the Vietnamese army on the wall, shouted incessantly. The trajectory of the bullet was straight, and the Vietnamese army hid under the wall. Yu Xing had no choice but to order the shooting to stop, and the battlefield was calm again, except for the choking smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

As soon as Yu Xing's side stopped, Su Qingliang's side began to roar again: "Shoot!" ”

"Buzz!"

The huge buzzing sound shook people's ear drums, a thousand powerful arrows shot by the bow of the god arm were even more amazing, the dense arrows were like a black cloud, shooting towards the camp of the Vietnamese army, the sound of a burst of rain hitting the plantain came, the wall of the Vietnamese army was suddenly nailed with arrows, and at the same time there were bursts of screams in the village, you can imagine what the situation was inside.

With the Song army's shield array into the range of bows and arrows, it was finally time for the Vietnamese army to exert its might, and thousands of Vietnamese troops behind the village once rushed arrows, that is, the arrows in the sky rose into the air, covering the sky and the sun, people who have not seen the war can not imagine how scary the scene of so many powerful arrows is to shoot, it can be said that a thorny jungle can grow on the ground in an instant, making it difficult for people to stand up; …,

As long as there is a slight gap in the shield array, there will be strong arrows to drill in, shoot the soldiers behind the shield, revealing more gaps from the surface, if the gap cannot be filled in time, the next wave of arrows will harvest more lives.

In addition to the rain of arrows one after another, Ke Changluo ordered people to roll down huge logs from the wall according to the oblique terrain in front of the wall, and the Song army could not dodge, and they would be knocked over, and the subsequent rain of arrows would nail the knocked down soldier to the ground, almost no physiology.

The Song army paid a lot of casualties, and finally approached the wall, and the Vietnamese army's arrow salvo could no longer threaten them, so they could only stand on the wall and shoot downward, or throw stones and spears at Zheng, so that they had to show their figures.

Because the flintlock pistol uses a relatively soft lead bullet, the bullet will explode when it encounters resistance after entering the flesh, making the wound extremely large, and the Vietnamese soldiers who were shot looked bloody and frightening, and some were hit by multiple bullets, and the whole head would even burst open, like a watermelon smashed by a hammer, and the cerebral plasma and blood were sprinkled like rain.

A thousand flintlock musketeers were able to reach beyond the range of the Vietnamese arrows, and this distance greatly increased the hit rate of the bullets, and the outcropping Vietnamese soldiers were shot down in rows and fell under the wall;

With the cover of flintlock pistols, the threat to the Song army with the main attack on the shield was greatly reduced, so they lit torches and threw lit grenades from the gaps in the shields.

A huge explosion sounded in the village, the rushing firelight, the billowing smoke made the vision blurred, and some severed limbs and stumps that were scorched black by the fire flew out of the firelight, exuding bursts of barbecue smell.

In the first round, twenty or thirty grenades were thrown, and the Vietnamese troops inside were killed, and the wall was crumbling.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang that shook the sky, and the wall built of wood was shaken away by a strong shock wave, revealing a gap several zhang wide, and the Song army made persistent efforts to prepare to blow up the gap again, so as to facilitate the impact of the army behind.

The Vietnamese army inside was blown up, Ke Changluo led a team of personal soldiers to constantly slash and kill the retreating Vietnamese soldiers, and roared like thunder in his mouth: "Go up, we can only fight to the end, half of the Song army is cavalry, you just want to escape, you can't escape the four legs of others, all fucking top, who dares to retreat, there is no forgiveness!" ”

In addition, he also asked people to rush the remaining more than 100 war elephants, the war elephants were afraid of fire, and they tried their best to make them move forward......

Liu Wu was about to order the army to charge, when he saw elephants rushing out of the Vietnamese army camp, the tall figure, the dull footsteps, like a giant tank pressed down from the slope, the amazing momentum made people not doubt its invincibility.

Behind the elephant herd, there was a surging Vietnamese army, roaring, brandishing knives and guns, ready to wait for the Song army to be dispersed by the war elephants, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and bury the Song army here.

Although Liu Wu at the bottom of the slope is accustomed to seeing life and death, he can do it without chaos, but this sudden change made him unexpected, the elephant is afraid of fire, in the case of the wall was blown up to the sky, Liu Wu never expected the elephant to dare to rush out.

His cavalry was far away, and there would be no danger for a while, and the divine arm archers in front and Yu Xing's flintlock pistol array were overwhelming, and it was too late to give another order, so it was up to Yu Xing to deal with it on their own.

"Shoot! Hurry up, shoot! Don't mess around, shoot ......"...,

Yu Xing and Su Qingliang were both roaring non-stop, but the momentum of more than a hundred elephants rushing down the slope was too terrifying, and many of Su Qingliang's divine arm archers couldn't resist the terrifying momentum and began to flee backwards.

Fortunately, Yu Xing's 1,000 centaurs were personally trained by Yang Yi, even if they were under the knife, Yang Yi didn't let them move, they didn't dare to move a little, and their position was on the left and right, and they were not under the pressure of direct impact for the time being, under Yu Xing's command, rows of gunfire echoed endlessly, and whistling bullets erupted.

Those elephants were not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, but they couldn't resist the whistling bullets, plus Su Qingliang's middle ground and the half-close Divine Arm Archers withstood a huge panic, and the strong penetrating power of the Divine Arm Bow could also penetrate the flesh. Under the intensive blows of the three sides, one war elephant after another fell to the ground,

The war elephant in front of them falls to the ground, and the war elephant behind them often trips over the war elephant in front of them because they are blindfolded and cannot see clearly.

1,000 flintlock pistols, more than 500 divine arm bows, under the heavy rain of bullets and arrows, more than 100 elephants finally only three rushed into the Song army's formation, and were soon killed by the Song army's grenades, and the Vietnamese army that followed the war elephants rushed down, was blocked by the corpses of elephants, the speed was stagnant, and they couldn't help but be heartbroken.

Yu Xing ordered the soldiers to shoot a platoon, retreat a platoon, and try to widen the distance from the Vietnamese army, which was originally intended to be used to crush the Song army, but at this time it became a wall of flesh, a wall of flesh that made the Vietnamese army pay a heavy price.

The Vietnamese army can only spread to both sides, and once this formation is dispersed, it often means that the army's spirit is broken. In the face of huge casualties, many Vietnamese troops no longer rushed towards the Song army, but turned around and fled.

At this time, Su Qingliang's divine arm archers gave way to both sides, and the sound of huge horses' hooves sounded immediately, and the cavalry led by Liu Wu was like a torrent that broke the embankment, rolling in, the earth was trembling, and the Vietnamese army was trembling.

From this moment on, this war completely evolved into a one-sided pursuit, Liu Wu and their horses rushed wildly, the running Vietnamese army rushed to pieces, anyone who did not kneel to surrender, the head was a knife, if the smoke of gunpowder did not dissipate, the desperate Vietnamese army has knelt to the ground.

And this is just a prelude to the Song-Yue War, and more tragic wars are still waiting.
