Chapter 436: The Elephant Is Really Ruthless (First Update)
Bury the pot to cook.
In terms of time, compared with the normal situation, it has been pushed forward a lot.
Therefore, although the veterans in the barracks did not receive orders from above, they also felt the unusual atmosphere and began to fall silent.
Liu Feng's army has experienced many wars, and most of them are veterans. Therefore, when the soldiers were eating, the atmosphere in the camp was almost solemn and breathless.
However, this solemnity, silence is not simply dead silence, but carries some oppressive excitement. There are many warriors in the country of Chu, this sentence is absolutely true.
Ever since Liu Feng fought to restore the prestige of Chudi, the morale of the soldiers has been much higher, all the way.
"Broken barracks." The trump card in Liu Feng's trump card, every time he goes to battle, he must be a sharp knife, cut his throat, and kill it.
In a relatively Xiǎo camp tent, the soldiers of the broken barracks had a meal, and when they returned to the camp, they helped each other put on iron armor. Perennial eclipse ròu, as well as the amount of training that surpasses too many normal people, brings a burly body that is not only a great refreshment in strength, but also a negative gravity and explosive power.
When putting on the iron armor, the soldiers were unusually skilled and calm. Then it is accompanied by a Chu knife.
After dressing, the soldiers checked it. He began to sit on the ground and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, outside the camp, there was a whining horn.
The soldiers stood up almost at the same time, and they all came out of the tent one after another. Before he went to the school yard to assemble, Chen Da appeared, wearing a suit of armor and a murderous appearance.
"I broke a battalion of the army, and attacked the city for General Yang Wu, there are countless people, and today I will be the vanguard. Meet outside the camp mén. Chen Da glanced at the soldiers and didn't say much.
Chen Da believed that Liu Feng Caochuang and that the broken military camp he carried forward was the most sharp and perfect army, and there was no need for jī to boost morale before the war.
Immediately, Chen Da ordered the soldiers to finish lining up in front of the big tent and walked out neatly. I walked all the way and came to the outside of the camp.
What surprised the soldiers of the broken army camp a little was that at this moment, a strange scene appeared outside the camp, a neat group of elephants lined up.
On the body of each elephant is a large chair on which sit two heavily armed mahouts.
It seems to be following the charge.
"The elephants trampled on the enemy camp, and we took the opportunity to fight. Pave the way for General Yang Wu to destroy Zhou Yu. Chen Da was in front and shouted in a low voice.
"Spread out." In the end, Chen Da shouted again.
The soldiers immediately dispersed automatically, and behind each elephant, a xiǎo team was lined up. Although they had never cooperated with the elephants, the soldiers instinctively knew that it was impossible for this kind of big guy to advance in a charging formation all the time.
With these guys around, it's hard for them to stay in formation. The best way to do this is to spread out and fight.
"Woohoo." The sound of the trumpet became more and more poignant.
Behind Chen Da and them, a large number of soldiers also gathered. Wei Yan, Li Yan, and Shamoke wore armor and walked in front of the army under the escort of their own soldiers.
The order they received was to follow Chen Da forward, forward. Break through the camp of the Zhou army, don't have doubts.
Half an hour later, 46,000 people lined up in a huge phalanx in front of the camp.
Liu Feng and Xu Shu were surrounded by the guards, and they rode their horses to stand in the rear. On their side, there is a pole with the word "Chu", a big flag.
Since the beginning of the army, Liu Feng has experienced most of the wars that he has experienced rely on the sword to go sideways in order to win. This kind of large-scale battle formation is rarely experienced.
Therefore, Liu Feng felt a little strange, but quickly reined in his thoughts.
"Beat the drums and make a direct impact towards the Zhou camp." Liu Feng glanced at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu nodded slightly in response. Liu Feng was sure in his heart, waved his big hand, and shouted.
"Knock knock." In the barracks, two rows of about forty huge snare drums were erected. Under the desperate beating of the soldiers, there was an earth-shattering sound.
The soldiers' tense heartstrings suddenly broke with the sound of the drum.
"Kill." In front of him, Chen Da chōu took out the Chu knife on his waist and stepped forward to kill it. The soldiers immediately followed.
The elephants, under the guidance of the mahouts, raised their noses one after another, and suddenly burst out with a sound similar to the sound of a whistle.
And he took a rough step and rushed forward very happily.
After training for so long, the elephants instinctively knew that this was a sign to rush forward.
The momentum of the twenty elephants in the front row is almost comparable to the momentum of thousands of cavalry. Not to mention, elephants are not the same as cavalry.
It's taller and stronger. For the soldiers, it also seems to be more secure.
Plus raise your nose from time to time to send out. "Woohoo." The huge roar made the entire army shake up.
After the army moved, the steps of the soldiers were also very calm.
The charge of tens of thousands of people and twenty elephants shook the earth violently. The Zhou army camp three or four miles away could also clearly feel this tremor.
Before the horn sounded in Liu Feng's camp, Zhou Yu's order was to pack his bags and prepare to return to Calcium City. When the horn sounded in Liu Feng's camp, Zhou Yu just ordered the spies to investigate.
I didn't take it seriously. But the news that the spies came back surprised Zhou Yu. In front of Xu Shu's camp, there were at least forty or fifty thousand soldiers gathered.
This is the signal for a decisive battle.
How is this possible. There was no jiāo battle between the two sides to test xìng, and Xu Shu began to fight a decisive battle.
Did he really think that he could defeat his 60,000 army with only the 45,000 military horses in the camp, plus the Zhao Yun cavalry who was eyeing him closely?
Zhou Yu was taken aback, and suddenly sneered. His own army of 60,000 may not be defeated even if he is pulled out to fight with Xu Shu.
Not to mention the turtle cowering in the camp mén.
Since the enemy is stupid, then Zhou Yu doesn't mind crushing Xu Shu's army here and preparing for the coming day to enter the seven counties of Hannan.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Yugao sat on the handsome seat and issued several orders in a row.
Ordered the spies to find out the news. Then he ordered Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Lu Dai and other generals to guard their camps and wait for work.
Be sure to defeat Liu Feng under the battalion.
After giving the order, Zhou Yu took a breath.
"Gong Jin, Xu Shu is so aggressive, will there be some conspiracy among them?" Lu Su, who had been sitting next to him, said worriedly.
"I don't know." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, he really didn't know this. But then, Zhou Yu's face sneered: "But I know that if I can't even hold the camp, I'm too sorry to be a general for so many years." ”
Lu Su thought about it.
Some potholes were dug outside the camp. There are also huge deer, which can be guarded against cavalry. There are archers, shè killing foot soldiers.
Geographically, it is much higher than Xu Shu, who launched the attack.
The strength of the two sides is even more than 60,000. There's no reason why you can't win.
Just when Zhou Yu and Lu Su were full of confidence, a spy suddenly walked in. The spy was about thirty years old, short in stature, and dark-skinned.
Looking at the figure, he is obviously a good at hiding, and he is also a perennial and experienced spy.
This kind of spy is generally Kwai Bao in the army, and they are indispensable to march and fight. But at this moment, the spy was full of horror on his face, and he was very overwhelmed.
"The Grand Governor, the Grand Governor." Because he was at a loss, after the spies entered the tent, his voice was intermittent and speechless.
Zhou Yu, Lu Su's heart sank, and a bad premonition rose.
"What's the hell, what's going on?" While feeling bad in his heart, Zhou Yu scolded.
"Twenty strange beasts appeared in Liu Feng's army, tall and several zhang, majestic and mighty, with a nose like a long snake. He also wears armor-like iron armor. Rushing towards the camp. The spy was reprimanded by Zhou Yu, but he came to his senses and spoke very smoothly. But his face did not change his horror.
What the hell is that?
The spies are shallow, and of course they don't know what it is. And Zhou Yu and Lu Su were shocked, majestic and mighty, with a nose like a long snake. This? Could it be the elephant in the southern state of Jiāo?
Liu Feng was actually whimsical and domesticated this strange beast to charge into battle?
Zhou Yu, Lu Su's heart suddenly rose an incredible feeling. There are also a few elephants on the Jiangdong side, which are the history of Jiāo Prefecture Thorns, and Shi Xie gave them to Sun Quan.
But that thing, Sun Quan also used it for ornamental purposes, and he died the year before last.
No one would have thought of charging with an elephant at all. Liu Feng, he was able to domesticate this kind of strange beast to charge into battle, and he also forged armor.
Could it be that this person is really a whimsical person who is good at things that others can't think of?
Both were people who had seen elephants, and knew that if they were indeed domesticated and used as charges, then the trap in front of their camp would be equal to a pit and a deer would be equal to a bush.
In front of that huge beast, it was almost as fragile as a mustard. Defense is gone.
And the visual impact brought by that kind of alien beast will also cause panic in the army, a huge panic. In other words, Xu Shu's side really planned to defeat his camp in one fell swoop.
Being looked down upon. Zhou Yu has never been looked down upon, never. Even if he lost to Liu Feng that day, Zhou Yu didn't feel that Liu Feng looked down on him.
But at this moment, Zhou Yu felt that Xu Shu, no, or Liu Feng was really alive, and Liu Feng looked down on him.
The old hatred and hatred of the past suddenly surged into his heart, and Zhou Yu's face became hideous.
"Even if you do have such a beast. I fill it with my life. Saying that, Zhou Yu shouted loudly and said, "Zijing, go with me to see how Liu Feng used an elephant to charge into battle." ”
"No." Lu Su promised.
The two of them walked together, escorted by their own soldiers, with their hands on the hilt of their swords.
When Jiangdong raised troops, there were no more than 40,000 soldiers, but Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cào, gathered the remnants, and the army jumped to 780,000.
After a few months of fighting Jiāo, Zhou Yu's army was reduced to only about 60,000. The reduction of the army has brought about an increase in the quality of the army.
But at this moment, in front of the large camp in the south, a group of soldiers hid in the camp, looking cautiously ahead. Although there was a wall separating them, a monstrous murderous aura was stolen in from the wooden fence.
The soldiers were nervous.
Coupled with the whining and whining of elephants, the roar of the elephant made the soldiers even more nervous.
The camp to the south bore the brunt. The guard general is Jiangdong general Huang Gai. But its prestige still can't contain the tension.
When Zhou Yu and Lu Su arrived, the soldiers were a little more relieved.
Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cào at Chibi, and his prestige was much higher than that of Huang Gai. It can also deter soldiers. The person who can defeat Cao Cào can of course defeat Xu Shu.
This is the most basic judgment of the soldiers.
"The Grand Governor." When Zhou Yu approached, Huang Gai said to Zhou Yu.
"How's it going?" Unable to greet him, Zhou Yu asked directly.
"Not good. The Governor of the Metropolitan climbed up and took a look. Huang Gai smiled bitterly and said. The elephant, Huang Gai glanced at it from a distance, and the twenty heads were lined up together, which really gave people the feeling of a monstrous flood.
Zhou Yu's big camp is like a renovated city wall. Archers, through ladders, climb the fence, and stare ahead.
On both sides, there are also arrow towers, which can be used as lookouts.
Zhou Yu climbed the arrow tower and looked into the distance. In just such a short time, the twenty elephants had rushed to a place about three or four hundred meters away from the camp.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su had seen elephants, but they still couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of them. After several miles of running, the formation of the elephants was somewhat scattered.
However, the strong visual impact it brings cannot be ignored. And the iron armor full of body is even more terrifying.
With such a large elephant, it is very difficult to deal with. The skin is rough and thick, and the sword is difficult to hurt. Plus this full of iron armor. This, how to deal with this.
It's hard to block, it's really hard to block. Unless there is a city wall, no, even if there is a city wall, it must be that tall and heavy, otherwise under the impact of the elephant, it will soon collapse.
Unless.
Unless.
There were large catapults, but they were bulky and useless, and they were not often used in war.
There is some stock in Koto side. But Zhou Yu went north in a hurry and didn't bring it at all.
Zhou Yu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"The spearmen stepped forward and filled it with human lives. This elephant must be extremely difficult to control, and if it is injured, it will go berserk. There will be no distinction between friend and foe. Also, look for the archers, shè kill the eyes of elephants. But a moment later, Zhou Yu quickly ordered Huang Gai again.
Fortunately, years of fighting have exercised Zhou Yu's nerves, and after a while, Zhou Yu has found the best way to deal with elephants at the moment.
"No." Huang Gai promised loudly, and immediately took the soldiers to arrange.
But despite this, Zhou Yu and Lu Su's worries did not decrease at all. It's really hard to say whether the elephant can be stopped or not.
If you can't stop it, the camp is big.
What will happen to their army? Jiangdong is known as having 100,000 armor, but the most sharp part is this army. If this military power is lost.
Where will Jiangdong go?
Zhou Yu and Lu Su got off the arrow tower and went to the rear. But it is still difficult to calm down, and my heart is terrible.
Elephant. It's really ruthless......
