"Boom~"

There was a loud thunderous sound on the battlefield, this was not really thunder, nor was Li Zhen's artillery exerting power, but the sound of thousands of elephants charging forward together, these war elephants wearing rattan armor stepped out of their thick elephant legs, like a wall of flesh, that terrifying momentum could simply smash everything in front of them into pieces.

After Wang Xuance received Li Zhen's order, he immediately ordered the cathars composed of Tianzhu people on both wings to make a detailed attack posture, but the cavalry of the Chinese army did not move, and as a result, the Chaori King did not think much about it at all, and immediately ordered his army to take the initiative to attack, and the elephant soldiers in the front also began to accelerate the impact, preparing to trample Li Zhen's Chinese army into meat in one fell swoop.

Seeing the herd of war elephants rushing over like a mountain of meat, the graduates of the Taiwan Military Academy behind Li Zhen were all pale, no matter what cruel training they received in the military academy, but compared with the situation on the real battlefield, it was still far inferior, even if they were the elite of the military academy, but for the first time they really faced the battlefield, their performance may not be as good as a small soldier.

In fact, not to mention those graduates, even Xiang Xiang from the brave Fang Yiai, when he saw so many war elephants rushing for the first time, his face couldn't help but change, before he only felt that the size of the war elephants was huge, but it seemed to be a little clumsy, but when the war elephants charged, he found that these huge war elephants were not clumsy at all, but ran very fast, and the long nose waved, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers could not resist at all.

However, in contrast, Li Zhen and his cavalry seemed very calm, even in the face of this charge. He didn't even frown. When the opposing war elephants rushed within range of the artillery, the artillery units lying in ambush on both flanks finally received the order. The artillery, which had already adjusted its angle, was ignited by the artillery, and then there was a deafening roar.

Immediately after that, hundreds of fiery solid shells flew out. With incomparably powerful kinetic energy, he crashed into the elephant soldiers, only to see that several blood-red passages suddenly appeared in the opponent's originally airtight elephant soldiers, and a terrible elephant chirp continued to sound, and some unlucky elephants were pierced through the brain by the cannonball, and their heavy bodies fell on the battlefield at once, and they never moved again after a few convulsions.

However, the death of the elephants caused by the cannonballs is only a small number, and the key is the deafening roar of the artillery when it is fired, which is like a thunderbolt on a clear day, which has a great impact on the war elephants, especially when the distance is not too far. A considerable number of war elephants were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, and the pace of rushing forward also slowed down significantly.

However, this was only the beginning, under the command of the artillery commander, the second batch of artillery that had already been prepared immediately opened fire, and as a result, hundreds of shells flew away, causing considerable losses to the war elephant herd, especially the kind of bloody scene, which had a strong impact on the war elephants.

Elephants are inherently intelligent animals, just like humans. Although this may seem like an advantage, it is a great disadvantage on the battlefield, because they know how to avoid danger when they are faced with danger. Therefore, when faced with a situation that threatens life and death and is powerless to resist, these war elephants will no longer listen to the drive of the elephant slaves, but will begin to retreat again and again. It may even go berserk, and only one war elephant will go berserk. Then it will set off a chain reaction, causing more and more war elephants to go berserk together.

For the temper of the elephant. Li Zhen and his subordinates have long figured it out, so they are not optimistic about this traditional type of Tianzhu troops, although they annexed the Tianzhu army has a lot of elephant soldiers, but they are all used by them as logistics troops, speaking of which elephants are not suitable for the battlefield, but they are still very qualified for transportation.

The army of the Chaori King's side did not have much contact with Li Zhen's army before, and most of their understanding of Li Zhen's side was learned from the original Pallava Dynasty, although they had heard some about the power of artillery, but they didn't care much about it, after all, in their minds, they couldn't imagine the power of this super era weapon.

In addition, in the process of Li Zhen's early invasion of Zhongtianzhu, he encountered a small force of resistance, so it was not worth using artillery at all, and it was precisely because of this that the Chaori King's side seriously underestimated the power of artillery, and he didn't expect that the huge elephant soldiers he had finally organized would be restrained, and for a while, the Chaori King and his allies were in a state of confusion.

However, the king of Chaori had already understood too late, the war elephants charging in front had been beaten into a mess by a wave of cannonballs, and soon some war elephants began to go crazy, holding long tusks and began to attack the war elephants around them, and at the same time, the four thick elephant legs also began to trample around, as a result, from time to time there were unlucky soldiers who were trampled on broken bones and tendons, and the sound of screams resounded through the sky.

Wang Xuance, who was in command of the army, saw that the elephant soldiers on the other side were in chaos, but a cold smile appeared on his face, and he handed a command flag to the herald and said, "Release the rocket!" ”

In addition to the loud noise of the artillery, the elephant is also most afraid of the fire, so the most effective weapon against the elephant is the artillery, there is also the rocket, and the rocket will explode, which is a stronger threat to the elephant, especially in the current chaotic situation, which can make the power of the rocket to the maximum.

With Wang Xuance's order, a sharp roar soon sounded in the military formation, and then a thick rocket rose into the air, rushing into the chaotic elephant herd in the blink of an eye, and then the explosion sounded, black smoke rose, black pits appeared on the ground, and the surrounding area was full of blood and broken corpses, and there were people and elephants.

The rocket exploded in the elephant herd, which made the war elephants even more frightened, and they retreated like crazy one by one, and did not dare to rush forward at all, and although the elephant slave desperately scolded, it was a pity that the elephant herd not only did not listen, but began to go crazy one by one, and the elephant's eyes were red and trampled and collided in the army of the king of Chaori, and the entire front was all chaotic at once.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xuance, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, finally launched the order for a general attack, and for a while, the 20,000 cavalry of the Chinese army were like tigers out of the cage, quickly rushing through the front line of the elephant soldiers that had been in chaos, and met the cavalry on the side of the Chaori King in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that although they are all cavalry, the cavalry of the Chaori King did not raise the speed at all because the front formation was elephant soldiers, and their weapons and equipment were also lagging behind Li Zhen's cavalry, so as soon as they came into contact, they were killed by the grassland cavalry in a big chaos, and even a few brave cavalry quickly chiseled through the opponent's cavalry formation, and began to slash and kill the enemy's rearmost foot soldiers.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was undoubtedly the king of land warfare, and even in the age of firearms, cavalry still existed for quite a while, until the appearance of tanks finally ended the glory of cavalry.

Although the number of cavalry of the king of Chaori is large, but the speed is not mentioned, and the cavalry without speed is not much stronger than the infantry, coupled with the quality and combat power of the army, so the 30,000 cavalry of the king of the super sun has no power to fight back when facing the 20,000 grassland iron cavalry, and as for the foot soldiers at the rear, they have become the target of the cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that the 20,000 steppe iron cavalry quickly stirred up the Chaori King's army, and at this time, the 40,000 cathars behind also rushed up, they chanted the name of Shiva, the god of destruction, and rushed into the Chaori King's army like crazy as Li Zhen's arm pointed, and the exquisite long knife in his hand slashed at the enemy, his face was full of fanaticism. If someone familiar with history saw them, he would probably shout in horror: Zeals!

The Guardian Army established by Li Zhen is not a joke, but really wants to make it a trump card in his hands, after all, the little grassland cavalry he brought is not enough to rule the entire Tianzhu.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Zhen grasped the construction of the apologists very tightly, and he also followed Li Su's advice to brainwash these apologists and educate them in the doctrine of the new Brahmins three times a day, so that they could remember that Li Zhen and Li Yun were their gods, and they could not go against the will of the gods at any time and place.

And in the apologetic army, each soldier needs to shout many slogans praising Li Zhen and Li Yun, coupled with the intensive training, so that their bodies and wills are in a state of fatigue, so it is easy for these apologists to lose their subjective judgment, and their minds are only left with the belief of loyalty to the two popes, which is similar to the pyramid scheme methods of later generations.

It is precisely under this kind of brainwashing, coupled with the fact that they have also been influenced by Brahmin teachings since childhood, so the cathars can easily form a fanatical worship of Li Zhen and Li Yun, and are even willing to give everything for God.

Moreover, the army of the Chaori King had already been killed by the grassland iron cavalry, and the 40,000 fanatical cathars rushed up, which made the Chaori King's army collapse, and soon lost the will to resist, and the more than 100,000 troops were killed by Li Zhen's 60,000 troops in a river of blood.

Because the outbreak of this war is located in the south of the Watapi region, it is known in history as the Battle of Watapi, the defeat of more than 100,000 troops organized by the Chaori King was killed, and finally after statistics, the number of dead reached more than 50,000 people, most of which were the army of the Chaori King, and most of the remaining Chaori King's army chose to surrender, and only a small number of lucky people were able to escape. And it is worth mentioning that King Chaori himself also died in the chaos, and a small number of his allies around him died in battle, and the rest also chose to surrender.

The battle of Vatapi marked that Li Zhen finally cleared the way to enter Zhongtianzhu, and at the same time, the new Brahmanism also began to officially enter the Zhongtianzhu region, coupled with the smooth mission of Northern Tianzhu, so that the teachings of the new Brahmanism finally covered the entire Tianzhu, and officially became a big religion that can be compared with the old Brahmans and Buddhism.

And the Deccan Plateau region, which has not been unified for hundreds of years, was finally unified again by Li Zhen and Li Yun, two foreign brothers, and then in front of them, only a chaotic North Tianzhu remained! (To be continued......)
