Chapter 407: Bloody Elephant Soldier

***

When Ke Changluo sent troops to Guizhou, Ruan Zhishun gave him a death order to recapture Guizhou no matter what. Ke Changluo has no way out, only to let go.

Although the Song army was able to blow up the ladder easily, he still made people constantly build the ladder siege, the main purpose of which was to contain the Song army's forces.

Its real killer is to base the soil on the city, this trick is very effective, Guizhou City is not high, even if the Song army in the city with arrows and grenades to stop, according to the current speed of the Vietnamese army, at most one day can level the city.

One by one, the grenades exploded one after another, the sound shook the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was filled under the city, and the Vietnamese army running with sandbags was only a vague figure, there were raindrops of arrows flying in the smoke, and the sound of poofing into the armor and flesh brought out a piece of terrible screams, after the two sides were desperate, the casualties of the Song army were also increasing, and the blood stained the city again.

God didn't seem to want to see this tragic scene, the sky was covered with layers of dark clouds, and then lightning pierced the dark sky, and the huge rumble even covered up the battle of war.

Seeing that a rainstorm was coming, Xu Wei rushed to Liu Wu's side and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, once this heavy rain comes, it will be extremely unfavorable for us to defend the city, general, the city is open, suitable for cavalry to kill, please ask the general to allow me 2,000 men and horses, and the last general will go out of the city to kill him a few times back and forth." ”

Xu Wei is like a cannon, he is really in a hurry, if it rains heavily, the grenade fuse is often not used when it gets wet, and the bow and arrow basically lose its lethality, because the bowstring is made of animal glue, which will become soft and elastic when it is wet. Without these two weapons, the Song army in the city could only watch the Vietnamese army build the ground.

How could Liu Wu not know this? He glared at me and replied: "You guard here, if you want to go out of the city, Lao Tzu will come, you want to rob me in this first battle, no way." ”

"General......

"You don't have to say more, this rain is not good for us, how can the other party's bow and arrow be used? It just so happened that we slipped back to the horse in the rain and watched Lao Tzu kill him ......"

Bang! A thunderclap blew down overhead, blowing up the second half of Liu Wu's words, and the gloomy sky immediately blew violently, and the heavy rain poured down, the heavens and the earth became miserable, and even the shouts and killings above and below the city were much quieter.

Liu Wu carried the horse lance in his hand and rushed down to the city, his majestic body skillfully turned over the war horse, and the three thousand horsemen behind him had been waiting for a long time, and the war horse kept neighing in the heavy rain.

"Open the gates!"

With Liu Wu's loud roar, the city gate slowly opened, and the heavy rain blurred the vision, so that the Vietnamese troops outside the city did not notice that the city gate was open for a while.

"Sons, kill me! Kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

A roar, followed by the war horse rushed out, the thunder cracked the sky, the sound of hooves broke the earth, Liu Wu took the lead, rushed out of the city, the misty rain curtain made the three thousand cavalry like the heavenly soldiers killed from the universe desolation, quickly ploughed to the enemy formation, tens of thousands of iron hooves densely knocked on the earth, splashing countless splashes, like a frenzied tide.

Because of the heavy rain, the bows and arrows on both sides lost their power, but the violent momentum of the war horses will not be weakened by the heavy rain, the high horse head, the straight tail of the horse, the snow bright steel knife, and the beast-like roar formed an invincible murderous aura, resolutely rushed into the Vietnamese army.

A pair of iron hooves stepped down in mid-air, crushing the Vietnamese troops blocking the way, and the long horse lance did not need to be stabbed hard, with the momentum of the war horse's galloping wildly, it could plow the Vietnamese army one by one to the belly and intestines, and there was no corpse.

In exchange for the blocking of bows and arrows, there was no cabinet horse and gun formation, and the light soldiers could only wait for slaughter in front of the rushing cavalry.

Jiaozhi does not produce horses, and only a very small number of them are obtained from Tubo through Dali, and there is no cavalry in Ke Changluo's army, and there is also a lack of experience in fighting cavalry.

Although Liu Wu was 3,000 to 20,000, the astonishing speed and overwhelming impact of the cavalry when they collectively charged made the Vietnamese army fearful, how could they dare to face the battle?

Liu Wu's 3,000 men and horses rolled up patches of water and blood in the torrential rain, intertwined like a curtain, and the cone-shaped cavalry formation plowed through the enemy formation like a giant ship chopping waves, flying heads, mutilated corpses, abandoned knives and guns, twisted broken arms, muddy flesh and blood, terrifying screams, and the wails of death, making the city of Guizhou instantly become a hell on earth.

Ke Changluo is not incompetent, Liu Wu suddenly killed, his infantry rushed to the battle, was plowed through the middle, although he suffered heavy casualties, but also won him a line of precious time, Jiaozhi has no war horses, but rich in elephants; Although the speed of the elephant is not as fast as that of the war horse, its huge body is invulnerable and unstoppable; Running like a tank, its long snout can roll people up and break them to pieces: the huge elephant's legs step on it, and instantly turn people into meatloaf. Armies that encounter elephant soldiers for the first time are often frightened and panicked.

This time, Ke Changluo brought three hundred elephant soldiers, these elephants can be used to transport grain and grass when marching, and can be used to charge into battle when fighting, seeing Liu Wu's three thousand cavalry chiseling through his infantry formation, Ke Changluo immediately let three hundred elephant soldiers rush forward.

Three hundred against three thousand, whether it is the size of the formation or the terrifying momentum, the three hundred elephant soldiers are better than Liu Wu's three thousand cavalry.

The heads of those war elephants were tied with round shields, two long fangs were cold, and they carried a large wooden frame on their backs, in which one man was riding an elephant, one was holding a bow and arrows, and one was holding a spear to assassinate the enemy.

The three hundred elephants ran, shaking the earth, and as soon as Liu Wu's three thousand cavalry rushed through the infantry formation, they met the three hundred elephant soldiers, and for a moment it was like a huge wave hitting the mountain cliff.

If Liu Wu, who rushed to the front, had not been in battle for a long time and was skilled in riding horses, he was afraid that he had been picked up by an ivory, and even so, he was also carried by the long trunk, and the horse lance in his hand was swept away, and the person also fell sideways...... What a Liu Laohu, the moment he landed, he flicked his toes, and jumped back to the horse, he pulled out his waist knife and yelled loudly: "Spread out, spread out, don't hedge head-on......"

Punch the fart! The horse's hooves are like thunder, and the elephant's legs are like ...... It was indescribable, anyway, the huge sound tore Liu Wu's roar to pieces, and few people could hear his voice at all, and in a hurry, he relied on the experience of the soldiers to deal with the crisis in front of him.

Fortunately, Liu Wu's cavalry was killed from the sea of corpses and blood in the northwest, and they were extremely experienced in the battle and had a strong ability to adapt.

It's just that the first part is the same as Liu Wu, it's too late, and can only rush into the elephant array dangerously, and some war horses hit elephants, as if they hit mountain rocks, and the war horses screamed and fell to the ground with a bang, and then they were stepped on by huge elephant legs, the horse's bones were shattered, and the flesh and blood splashed like a screen.

Some of the war horses were picked up by the ivory, and suddenly rolled out several feet away in a somersault, and the people and horses fell into a ball, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Some of the unscrupulous soldiers were not afraid of death, and rushed to the elephant to slash wildly, but at most they could inflict some skin wounds on the elephant, and even the wounds were not left, and most of their weapons could not reach the enemy on the elephant's back, but had to defend against the opponent's special spears for life.

The torrential rain was flying, the sound of killing was like a tide, and in the misty sight, one by one the robes fell to the ground, and there was no corpse, which made Liu Wu look at him with tears in his eyes, and he rushed left and right in the war elephant, like a wanderer in the wind and waves.

"What's the matter with death, I'll cut your mother! I'll cut you motherfucker! Liu Wu's whole person was in an extremely violent state, roaring again and again in his mouth, every time he made a knife, he did it with all his might, even so, it was still in vain to slash on the elephant, and it was impossible to cause fatal damage to the elephant at all.

"Kill!"

A long elephant trunk rolled up, Liu Wu quickly pounced on the horse's back, and suddenly burst out after dodging, the big knife rolled up the rain and split out, just cut on the elephant's trunk, the elephant's trunk is the most soft and sensitive, by Liu Wu's crazy knife arm, the elephant's trunk suddenly blood gushed like a spring, and the huge pain made the elephant crazy, no longer listening to the control of the elephant soldiers, rushing around.

Liu Wu came back to his senses, and laughed wildly at the sky, and the Song soldiers who saw this scene immediately followed the same example, and cut at the elephant's trunk, everyone was red-eyed, and some even sacrificed their lives to seek righteousness, jumping out of the war horse to cut the elephant's trunk, just to win a glimmer of life for their comrades.

There are more and more war elephants with their noses cut, and the frenzied elephants don't care about what's in front of them, running wildly, sometimes two or three heads collide together, throwing the Vietnamese soldiers on the elephant's back and flying down, and it is usually difficult for those who land to leave all the corpses.

The fear among the animals is contagious, and as the number of frantic war elephants increases, the other war elephants also become irritable, Liu Wu and the others are lucky enough to rush through the elephant array, but the losses are also extremely heavy, at least 300 comrades died tragically in the elephant array.

Although it is said that life and death are fateful in the charge, these robes have been inseparable for several years, and they have fought thousands of miles together, but now they are dead and dead, so how can Liu Wu accept them!

The infantry of the Vietnamese army has reorganized its formation, and as soon as Liu Wuyi gathered up his men and horses, he still rushed forward in disregard!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The rainstorm has not been collected, the roar shook the sky, the snowy steel knife continued to beat the horse's back, and the war horse was in pain, and the hooves were neighing, and the castration was like lightning...... After avoiding the enemy's elephants, Liu Wu and the others once again entered the infantry formation, and the Vietnamese army did not have a big shield to resist the horse, and the small shields were put together, how could they withstand the huge impact of the war horses.

The cavalry sacrificed a dozen or so horses at most, which was enough to break through a gap in the opponent's formation, and the cavalry behind was rushed along this gap, trampled by horses' hooves, chopped with long knives, and most of all, those who made maces, when they smashed their heads, their skulls would be cracked, and their brains would be splashed.

The bloody slaughter began again, only the blood of the enemy could pour out the raging anger in the cold chest, the rain and thunder, the water was misty, looking down from the city, it was impossible to see the situation in the distance, but the thick smell of blood and the awe-inspiring murderous aura could not be blocked by the rain curtain.

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge your dead brother! Kill! ”

"Revenge ......"

The city was full of tyrannical roars, so that the Song army in the city heard the blood swelling, the heart boiled, Xu Wei could no longer sit still, he asked Su Qingliang to defend the city, and he rushed out with the remaining two thousand cavalry, in the pouring rain, like another violent torrent rushed towards the enemy formation.
