Chapter 1332: Capture the Southern Barbarian King alive

Riding on the back of a broad elephant, Dian Wei held a crossbow arrow in his hand, and as he advanced, he fired arrows at the barbarians.

The double halberds he is good at using are simply unusable on the back of tall elephants, and he has also learned to use strong crossbows in the days of training war elephants.

The elephants of the Han army who followed Dian Wei also charged while firing feather arrows at the barbarians with crossbow arrows.

Arrows flew towards the barbarians, and the barbarians, who were fighting with the Han infantry, had no time to defend against the feathered arrows flying from the side, and as the arrows flew, they fell in pieces.

The war elephants in the charge ran quickly, and the Han soldiers on the back of the elephants, seeing that they were about to rush to the barbarian array, carried their crossbows back to their bodies, took out the spears hanging beside the war elephants, and waited for the barbarians to rush into the middle, and then stabbed them with their spears.

The physique of a war elephant is not comparable to that of a war horse.

The two armies fought, and although the charge of the war horse would bring a lot of trouble to the enemy, the damage that could be caused to the enemy by virtue of the impact force was not very large.

In particular, once the enemy infantry is arranged in a neat array, the effect of the charging war horses is very limited.

Compared with war horses, war elephants are much burlier, and their impact is much greater than that of war horses.

Two thousand war elephants ran fast, their thick soles on the ground, and clouds of smoke and dust were raised.

Looking at the war elephants that were getting closer and closer, the barbarians who were fighting with the Han army were already panicked, and many of the people behind the array had already begun to retreat.

"Kill!" Rushing to the front of the barbarian formation, Dian Wei held a strong crossbow and shouted as he fired arrows at the barbarians.

The Han army officer who was riding a war elephant with him had already taken out his spear and put on a posture of stabbing at the barbarians.

With a loud sound of war elephants colliding with human flesh and skin, in the miserable howl of the brute soldiers, the barbarians in the front row were trampled over by the war elephants.

A brute soldier with a shield in his hand, when the war elephant rushed at him, he was probably a little frightened, not only did not dodge, but roared and strode back at the war elephant.

The shield can only block the sharp weapon, the impact of the war elephant, but not the piercing power of the sharp weapon, hit a war elephant, the brute was immediately knocked to the ground.

Before he could roll over and get up, a stout elephant's foot had already stepped on the back of his head.

The elephant's feet fell, and the brute who fell to the ground didn't even have time to howl miserably, and his head was like a condom filled with water, and red and white juice splashed everywhere.

Bands of brutes were knocked to the ground, and some of the fallen brutes were not trampled by the front of the war elephants, but they were trying to escape from the herd, and the war elephants that came up like a tide behind them knocked the brutes who had already risen to the ground and trampled them under the heavy feet of the elephants.

The charging war elephant, with its long nose fluttering, slammed forward as it rolled up the brute soldiers running past it and threw them high into the air.

One by one, the tossed brutes let out a miserable howl, danced and flew into the air, and when they reached the top, they fell to the ground like dumplings.

The brute soldiers who fell to the ground, whether they fell to their death on the spot or not, what awaited them were heavy war elephant footboards.

The barbarians in front were knocked to the ground by the war elephants in pieces, and the barbarians in the back looked at the chaos in front of them, and listened to the miserable howl in their ears, and they were already frightened.

The reason why the barbarian soldiers, who have completely lost their will to fight, are still supporting is nothing more than being a little afraid of Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong.

The Han army's war elephants were so numerous that they rushed into the barbarians, and one war elephant only had to deal with ten barbarians, and it didn't take long to wipe out half of the 25,000 barbarians.

Seeing that the war elephants were almost not damaged, but their companions were killed and wounded countless times, the barbarians behind the array did not know who shouted, and a rout immediately began.

Having defeated the barbarian army that Xu Chu dealt with, Dian Wei did not delay for a moment, and shouted to the Han elephant soldiers behind him: "Soldiers! The barbarians retreated! Rush with General Ben and capture their king! ”

Dian Wei gave the order to rush and kill, and the two thousand war elephants immediately turned around and rushed towards the barbarians led by Meng Shu and Lady Zhu Rong.

Seeing the elephant soldiers rushing out, Xu Chu also shouted to the Han soldiers under his command: "The elephant soldiers have already been killed, and we don't want to let them compete for the limelight, and kill them with this general!" ”

With the strength of 5,000 people, the Han army, which resisted 25,000 barbarians, heard Xu Chu's shout, and also let out a cry in unison, followed closely behind him, and rushed towards the barbarians.

Standing in the Chinese army, staring at the battlefield from afar, a faint smile appeared on Zhuge Jun's face.

He had been confronted with the barbarians for days, and this was the day he had been waiting for.

The barbarians were numerous, and if they ordered the elephant soldiers to charge at the beginning, Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong would definitely be on guard, although they could still be defeated in the end, but the elephant soldiers would definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

It took Liu Wei several years to domesticate the war elephants, and in order to wait for them to come of age, Dian Wei was left in Luoyang City and did not go to the battlefield for many years.

For the Han army, which lacks fierce generals, this investment is not high.

I know in my heart that the status of elephant soldiers in Liu Bian's heart is absolutely supreme, and they are also Liu Bian's strong capital to conquer the world in the future, and Zhuge certainly does not dare to use it lightly.

In order to avoid mass casualties among the elephant soldiers, all he could do was to make small fights for days and days to make the barbarians negligent, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the barbarians in one fell swoop without losing too many elephant soldiers.

On the battlefield, the barbarians retreated like a tide.

Staring at the battlefield, the look on Zhuge Jun's face was indifferent.

As he watched the battle between the two armies, several war elephants withdrew from the battlefield.

Seeing several war elephants rushing towards the main formation, Zhuge Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his neck couldn't help but stretch a little.

The war elephants rushed into the barbarians, and the advantage of the Han army was already extremely obvious, and it was absolutely impossible for a few war elephants to be removed from the battlefield unless there was something urgent.

Seeing that the war elephants were getting closer and closer, Zhuge Jun soon found that there seemed to be a person rolling around the nose of the war elephant at the front.

Seeing the man who was caught in the trunk of the war elephant, a smile appeared on his lips.

The war elephants were getting closer and closer, and the Han army on the back of the elephant was not Dian Wei, but just a few elephant soldiers.

Since he saw the person with the war elephant's nose rolled up in the front, Zhuge Jun's gaze always stayed on that person.

Most of the ordinary barbarians were shirtless, and even chieftains, generals, and the like were only dressed in deerskin and sheepskin.

The man who was swept by the war elephant in his nose was wearing a tiger skin.

The powerful trunk of the elephant curled around him, and he kept kicking his legs, and screaming and cursing something in his mouth.

From the tiger skin that this person wears, Zhuge Jun has already seen that his status among the barbarians is definitely not low, even if he is not a barbarian king, he must be a cave master of the barbarians.

When they arrived at a place more than ten steps away from Zhuge Jun, several war elephants on the side stopped one after another, and the Han soldiers on the back of the elephants all turned their heads to look back, as if they were worried that the barbarians would suddenly rush forward.

The war elephant at the front quickly ran in front of Zhuge Jun, and the Han army riding in front of the elephant's back raised his fists and saluted him and said, "General Qiqi, we have captured the barbarian king!" ”

"The Barbarian King?" I thought that it was just a barbarian cave master who was captured, but I didn't expect it to be their king, Zhuge Jun hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Twist him and let General Ben take a look!" ”

It was none other than the barbarian king Meng Shu who was swept up in the nose by the war elephant.

To say that Meng Shu is really full of moldy words on his face, when the Han army rushed towards him, in order to protect Mrs. Zhurong, he led a group of relatives to counterattack the Han army.

He thought that he would be able to inspire the courage of the barbarians, but what he did not expect was that the barbarians, who had been killed and had been cold, retreated back one after another when the Han elephants rushed closer, and there were not many people following him to launch a counterattack.

Before he could realize that he had been completely defeated, the nose of a war elephant had already rolled up his waist.

While being curled up by the war elephant's nose, the blade in his hand was also snatched away by an ugly-looking Han general.

Without a blade and being tightly curled by a war elephant with its nose, the only thing Meng Shu could do was to desperately kick his legs and let out a desperate scolding.

Meng Shu, who only cared about shouting and scolding, and didn't think of a way to get out at all, just felt that the war elephant had stopped, and heard the Han soldiers on the elephant's back say something to a person.

has been fighting with the Han people for many years, but he doesn't understand the Han people very well.

He didn't understand much about what the soldier said, but vaguely understood the phrase "general".

Turning his head to glare at Zhuge Junyi, Meng Shu shouted sharply: "The two armies are fighting, using war elephants, what kind of hero is it?" If you have the ability, let go of a certain one, and then fight a decisive battle in the future! ”

He originally wanted to use the method of agitation to urge Zhuge Jun to let him go, but he never thought that Zhuge Jun, as the commander of the Han army, did not understand the Southern Barbarian dialect.

Hearing Meng Shu yelling at him, Zhuge Jun blinked his eyes twice and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Who knows what he said?" ”

All the pro-soldiers pouted and shook their heads, and none of them could understand what Meng Shu was saying.

Seeing that Zhuge Jun didn't seem to understand what he said, Meng Shu was about to shout again, but the two Han soldiers who had been ordered to twist him had already stepped forward, each with one arm, and pulled him out of the elephant's trunk.

Both feet landed, Meng Shu stiffened up, the two Han soldiers grabbed his shoulders and did not let go, and the other two Han soldiers ran behind him quickly, one of them raised his foot and kicked him on the crook of the leg, and the other took out a hemp rope and quickly coiled it around him.

Tied up by the soldiers of the Han army like zongzi, Meng Shu held his chest and shouted at Zhuge Jun, but Zhuge Jun waved his hand and said lightly to the Han army who twisted him: "Take him into custody for the time being!" ”
