In the tent of the commander of the Han army, Zhuge Jun ordered everyone to prepare early, just waiting for Dian Wei to lead the elephant soldiers, scatter the array of the Han army, and immediately wave his troops to fight.

Everyone stood up and responded with their fists clasped together.

When Zhuge Jun pressed his hand twice to everyone and asked them to sit down, Gao Shun maintained a fist-hugging posture and said to Zhuge Jun: "Does the general know about Prime Minister Xu Cheng's trip to Chengdu?" ”

Looking at Gao Shun, Zhuge Jun nodded and said, "You know, why did the general ask this?" ”

"I don't know if the general has gotten the news that the prime minister is going to Chengdu, what happened?" Putting down his hands, Gao Shun asked again.

Shaking his head, Zhuge Jun said: "I haven't gotten any news about the prime minister's trip, and I don't know yet." Could it be that General Gao knows? ”

"Nope! The last general does not know! Grinning, Gao Shun clenched his fists again, arched towards Zhuge Jun and said: "The last general just thinks that the prime minister rushed from Luoyang to Chengdu, there should be something extremely important, otherwise why should he come in person?" ”

After listening to Gao Shun's analysis, Zhuge had no words.

Yizhou is now pacified, and the soldiers and horses of Yizhou have also been reorganized by Zhuge Jun, although the Yizhou army has not yet been dispersed, and they have been completely integrated into the Han army sequence, but the generals' deployment is very frequent.

After the adjustment, the Yizhou generals were not familiar with the soldiers and horses under their command, and they were not able to gather soldiers and horses to make trouble.

In the entire Yizhou, there should be nothing worthy of Xu Shu coming to deal with it personally.

If Xu Shu came to Sichuan to crusade against Zhang Lu, he should have rushed directly to the battlefield, and he would not have gone to Chengdu first.

Xu Shu's demeanor really made Zhuge Jun unable to figure it out.

couldn't figure it out, so Zhuge Jun didn't think about it anymore, and said to everyone in the tent: "Generals, the prime minister came to Sichuan, thinking that he came to supervise our battles. How can we lose face in front of the prime minister? In today's battle, we must defeat Zhang Lu in one fell swoop and raise the prestige of our Han army! ”

"Defeat Zhang Lu and raise the prestige of our army!" Everyone got up in unison, clenched their fists in response, and then left the tent one after another.

The soldiers reported to Zhang Lu that the Han army was a monster riding a monster with big ears and a long nose, and in Zhang Lu's mind, he imagined the appearance of the Han army's mount as a sturdy black-haired pig.

Riding a war horse and looking forward to the direction where the Han army was about to appear, Zhang Lu had an inexplicable feeling of anticipation in his heart.

It's been years since he occupied Hanzhong, and he'd never seen that army ride pigs to fight!

The Han army that entered Hanzhong really subverted his cognition.

Looking into the distance, gradually, some scattered cavalry appeared in Zhang Lu's field of vision, and among the chaotic fleeing cavalry, there were also some war horses that had lost their owners and ran with them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lu's brows tightened, and he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, the cavalry will fight!" ”

A personal soldier responded and shouted loudly: "The master has an order, and the cavalry is ready for battle!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the pro-soldiers, the cavalry of the Hanzhong Army advanced forward in a neat formation.

The cavalry of the Hanzhong army, the war horse under the crotch is not as tall as the cavalry of the Han army.

Most of the war horses they rode were small ponies from the south.

Platoons of cavalry advanced to the front, not blocking the view of the infantry behind.

I wondered how the Han army could ride pigs into battle to fight, and the officers and soldiers of the Hanzhong army stretched their necks one by one, looking into the distance, waiting for the appearance of the Han army.

Seeing that Zhang Lu had formed a large formation, the fleeing cavalry went around to both sides, and did not return to the formation, but fled all the way to the distance, obviously frightened by the Han army.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lu's brows gradually locked.

How could a Han army riding pigs beat the cavalry under his command to the point that they didn't even have the courage to fight again?

At the end of the horizon, a black line gradually appeared.

The black line is getting thicker and thicker, and when Zhang Lu sees the behemoth walking in the front, he is also taken aback.

Where is the pig, it is obviously the war elephant of the Southern Barbarians!

Seeing the black war elephants pressing towards the army, Zhang Lu shouted loudly: "Rocket ready!" ”

Although he had never fought with the Nanban, Zhang Lu also knew that wild beasts were generally afraid of flames, and firing rockets at the Han elephants was likely to make the war elephants fearful, so that they would not fight.

Seeing the war elephants advancing towards the main formation from a distance, the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were already in a panic in their hearts.

The archers, who had received Zhang Lu's order, ran to the front of the queue with their longbows and set up arrows wrapped in oilcloth on the bowstrings.

The arrows were on the bowstring and aimed at the elephants of the Han army who were getting closer and closer, but the archers of the Han army could not suppress the panic in their hearts.

One of the archers put the arrow on the bowstring, and when another soldier helped him to set the arrow on fire, he gave up his hand and let go of the hand holding the bowstring.

A rocket flew out.

The rocket made a brilliant arc and fell to the ground.

Someone shot an arrow, and the rest of the archers didn't know what to do, thinking that Zhang Lu had given the order to release the arrows, and they shot the arrows one after another.

Pieces of rockets flew out, but the Han elephants were still far away from the main formation of the Hanzhong army, and the arrows could not shoot where they were, so they lost their strength and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" The enemy was still far away, and the archers had already shot the arrows, Zhang Lu suddenly felt bored in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Rockets meet the enemy, if anyone releases arrows indiscriminately, there will be no mercy!" ”

Zhang Lu's roar, the archers of the Hanzhong Army understood one after another, he didn't give the order to release the arrow at all, and it was only because someone was nervous that he didn't pull the bowstring, so that an arrow flew out.

The archers of the Hanzhong army lined up in formation, spread their bowstrings, lit rockets and aimed at the Han elephants who were rushing towards them.

When he led the elephant soldiers to a place fifty or sixty steps away from the Hanzhong army, Dian Wei raised his arm and shouted: "Strong crossbow to meet the enemy!" ”

The soldiers of the Han army on the back of the elephant took off the strong crossbow from their backs, set up arrows on the strong crossbow, and aimed at the bow and arrow array of the Han army on the opposite side.

Compared with the bow and arrow, the range of the strong crossbow is much farther, this distance, the archers of the Han army can not shoot the Han army, but the strong crossbow of the Han army can get them!

With his arms held high, looking at the Hanzhong army array opposite, Dian Wei pressed his hand down and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

On the back of each war elephant, there were two Han soldiers, and with Dian Wei's order, the Han soldiers on the back of the elephant pulled off the reeds of the strong crossbow one after another, and shot a lot of arrows at the archers of the Hanzhong army.

Thousands of feathered arrows flew into the array of archers of the Hanzhong army, and immediately a large number of archers fell to the ground.

Zhang Lu only cared about guarding against the war elephants of the Han army, but he didn't expect that the Han army would never use bows and arrows as long-range weapons, and always used strong crossbows.

The Hanzhong army suffered a loss because they did not know the Han army's combat methods very well like Cao Jun.

Pieces of arrows flew into the array of archers of the Hanzhong army, and as the arrows flew in, countless archers fell.

"Infantry!" Seeing the archers fall in pieces, Zhang Lu hurriedly shouted again.

With his shout, the heavy infantry waiting behind hurriedly ran up with their shields.

The heavy infantry ran through the array of archers, and the shields in their hands blocked most of the arrows fired by the Han army.

The archers, who were already in disarray, only stabilized a little after the heavy infantry blocked the arrows for them.

"Kill!" Seeing that the Hanzhong army was constantly changing formations, Dian Wei knew that they were already out of order, so he took off the double halberd from behind, pointed forward, and shouted, urging the soldiers of the royal elephant to set up the war elephant and rush towards the Hanzhong army.

Two thousand war elephants immediately poured into the large array of the Hanzhong army like a tide.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Han army launched a charge, and Zhang Lu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly issued an order to release the arrows.

The archers of the Hanzhong Army, who had finally stabilized their dìng, immediately opened their bowstrings and shot patches of feathered arrows at the Han army.

War elephants have rough skin and thick flesh, and their bodies are wrapped in battle armor specially made for them by the Han army, and most of the arrows are broken into two and fall to the ground.

There were also a few arrows that pierced into the skin of the war elephants, shooting out bloody holes in their bodies that were not very inconspicuous.

The Han army on the back of the elephant, holding a shield, urged the war elephant to charge, and at the same time blocked the rockets flying out of the Hanzhong army array.

The rocket fell into the Han army, and the war elephant did not become chaotic as Zhang Lu imagined, but seemed to be crazy, speeding up the speed of the impact.

The tide of war elephants rushed towards the array of the Hanzhong army.

The infantry of the Hanzhong Army, who were holding shields in front of the array, watched the war elephants rush towards them, and their hearts jumped to their throats with nervousness.

With a loud crashing sound, the Han elephants crashed into the array of the Han army.

Even if the cavalry charged head-on, it was difficult to break through the gap in front of a tight formation.

But the war elephants were huge in size and powerful, and they crashed into the Hanzhong army, their thick thighs trampled on the overturned enemy army, and their long noses also deftly rolled up, rolling up the Hanzhong army in front of them one by one, and then throwing them into the air.

Just a rush to kill, the large array of the Hanzhong army was a mess.

Seeing that the large array was rushed away by the Han army elephants, Zhang Lu was about to order the reserve soldiers to immediately go forward to fight, when suddenly there was another shout of killing from the side.

Turning his head to look at the side, Zhang Lu suddenly gasped.

The Han army, which was confronting him, beat the drums of war and launched a general attack on the Hanzhong army at the same time that his army was knocked out of the gap!

The war horses galloped, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust, and the infantry soldiers held blades and shields, followed behind the cavalry, shouting and rushing towards the Hanzhong army.

The array has been dispersed, even if the reserve soldiers immediately stepped forward, they may not be able to stop the Han army elephants, and the Han army on the other side launched an attack at this time, Zhang Lu suddenly understood that he was completely defeated in this battle!
