Mrs. Zhu Rong mentioned the rockets fired by the soldiers on both sides during the fighting in the past few days, and Meng Shucai was suddenly startled.

Of the war elephants he had ever seen, the most feared was fire.

Whenever they go to the battlefield, wherever there is flames, war elephants will scurry around, sometimes even jumping into their own arrays.

But the war elephants of the Han army were not panicked at all in the face of the flames.

They remained laid-back, as if waiting for the boss to give the order to rush forward and roll their enemies into the air with their long noses.

After swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, Meng Shu asked Mrs. Zhurong a little nervously: "If the Han army war elephant is really not afraid of fire, how can we break it?" ”

"I have ordered hundreds of war elephants to be brought from the south." Staring at the group of war elephants behind the Han army's array, Mrs. Zhu Rong said, "Presumably it will be here in these two days......"

"In order not to be discovered by the Han army, these two **** and others will no longer attack the Han army!" Hearing that Mrs. Zhurong had transferred hundreds of war elephants from the south, Meng Xu's heart suddenly relaxed, and he opened his mouth to say this.

It is no wonder that he will feel relieved, living in Nanban, elephants are one of the important domestic animals domesticated by people, Meng Shu, who is very familiar with the habits of elephants, of course, knows how much power war elephants can exert on the battlefield.

Hundreds of war elephants arrived on the battlefield, although they were not the opponent of the two thousand war elephants of the Han army, but they could also resist the barbarians for a while.

As long as the strategy is used properly, it is not impossible for the brute army with absolute superiority in numbers to defeat the Han army!

"Stupid!" I thought that Mrs. Zhurong would praise him twice, but I didn't expect to get a reprimand from her: "If we suddenly stop the attack, the Han people will definitely know that we have a backhand." If they send out war elephants, how can we defend ourselves? ”

After being reprimanded by her, Meng Shu swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and there was a burst of resentment in his heart.

Since marrying this lady, his status in the cave has plummeted, and every time he proposes a resolution, when it comes to his wife, he will be completely vetoed.

At first, he tolerated his wife only out of affection, but later, when he wanted to rebel and revive his strength, he found that it had become a habit to be controlled by his wife.

The habits he has developed over the years have made Meng Huo a veritable strict wife.

Mrs. Zhurong scolded him, Meng Shu lowered his head, but he really didn't dare to speak.

"Pass the order and immediately attack the Han army!" Rolling her eyes at him, Mrs. Zhurong glanced at Meng Shu, and then ordered the barbarians behind her: "Send 15,000 people to attack the Han army!" ”

After receiving the order, the brute soldier answered and ignored Meng Shu at all, turned around and left.

After a while, fifteen thousand people came out of the barbarians.

Fifteen thousand brutes, all shirtless and armed with shields and axes, shouted in an irregular manner as they advanced.

The barbarian soldiers advanced towards the Han army, and Zhuge Jun, who was stationed in the middle of the Han army, had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Xu Chu on the side: "General Xu, you can lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, can you break the enemy?" ”

"The last general will definitely be able to break the enemy!" Holding his fists and arching towards Zhuge Jun, Xu Chu responded with great ambition.

"General Zhuge !" As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, Dian Wei on the side said to Zhuge Jun with a depressed heart: "The elephant soldiers under the command of the last general have been standing in the rear for several days to watch our army fight with the barbarians, when will the general give the order to attack the enemy army?" ”

Turning his head to look at Dian Wei, Zhuge Jun pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to him: "General, don't worry, elephant soldiers are useful......

"The last general will lead the elephant soldiers, just a rush, you can scatter the barbarians, and this battle is over!" There was no chance to go to the battlefield to fight for several days, and the boredom in Dian Wei's heart had gathered to the peak, and when he heard that Zhuge Jun had not yet let them go into battle to kill the enemy, he suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "General Zhuge why don't you let the last general lead the troops to rush up and trample on these barbarians!" ”

"What General Dian said is not unreasonable!" Dian Wei just vented the resentment in his heart, and did not make a calculation that Zhuge Jun would promise, what he didn't expect was that Zhuge Jun nodded and said: "Since the general has this confidence, General Xu Chu will lead the troops to fight first, and wait until the front of the barbarians is broken, and then the general will lead the elephant soldiers to cover up and defeat the barbarians, how about it?" ”

Zhuge Jun proposed to let Dian Wei lead the elephant soldiers to attack the main formation of the barbarians, how could Dian Wei not agree!

His eyes were wide open, and he hadn't recovered from the joy of the sudden arrival, and Dian Wei actually forgot to thank Zhuge Jun.

Seeing his appearance, he also knew that he was depressed and ruthless, Zhuge Jun didn't care about him, smiled slightly, and said to Xu Chu: "The general led five thousand soldiers to fight immediately, and when the barbarians were broken, there was no need to return, cover up all the way, rush into the barbarian array, and wait for the elephant soldiers and the army to follow!" ”

"General rest assured!" From Zhuge Jun's words, Xu Chu heard that he was going to fight to the death with the barbarians, so he hurriedly responded with his fists, held the reins, and shouted behind the Han army array: "Soldiers, kill with this general!" ”

As soon as Xu Chu gave an order, the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command immediately followed him, walked out of the Han army's large array, and greeted the fifteen thousand barbarians.

The two armies often fight on a similar scale these days, and every time they fight, the number of casualties on both sides will not be very large.

Looking at Xu Chu, who was approaching the barbarians, and the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command, Mrs. Zhurong had no expression on her face.

For many years, the struggle between the barbarians and the Han people never stopped.

In the past, although the barbarians were not as well-equipped as the Han people, the casualty ratio of the two sides was not much different.

This time, she and Meng Shu jointly led the army to advance to Yizhou, originally thinking that the resistance suffered along the way would be similar to the resistance of the Yizhou army in the past, but they did not expect that the Han army in front of them was unexpectedly strong.

There were only more than 20,000 people, blocking them 70,000 or 80,000 people, but the balance of the battle was still tilted towards the Han people.

If there is no miracle, if the follow-up elephant soldiers do not arrive in time, the outcome of this battle, Mrs. Zhurong can already be predicted.

She did not think about how to defeat the Han people, but the battle was at the end, and once the barbarians lost, she could resist the Han army with hundreds of war elephants.

Thinking of this, she was a little dissatisfied with Meng Huo.

In the past, when entering the territory of the Han people, due to the ordinary combat strength of the Yizhou army, the barbarians did not take them too seriously at all, so they never transferred war elephants into the battlefield.

Although war elephants are domesticated livestock by barbarians, the domestication cost of this kind of livestock is much higher than that of ploughing cattle and war horses.

But this time it was different, this time the barbarians did not send war elephants, but the Han people transferred 2,000 elephants.

Regarding the appearance of war elephants in the Han army array, Mrs. Zhu Rong was also full of puzzlement.

Elephants grow in the south, there is no one in the north, and where did the Han army from the north get so many war elephants?

I was puzzled, but after all, the war elephants of the Han army had already appeared on the battlefield, and what Mrs. Zhurong had to consider was not the origin of these elephants, but what kind of method she should use in the face of these elephants, so that the war elephants of the Han army could not exert their full combat power!

After staring at the soldiers and horses of the two sides approaching each other for a while, she turned her head to look at Meng Shu beside her.

Meng was born with a five-short body, although he was very stocky, he was not as tall as the Han generals.

In Mrs. Zhurong's opinion, this man is stupid by nature, and she and Bing Xue are smart, and they can't be called a pair at all.

Fortunately, Meng Shu is still considerate to her, and whenever there is a big or small matter, she mostly makes the final decision.

Marrying such a man, there won't be much passion every day, but it's not too bad.

Looking at Meng Shu, Mrs. Zhu Rong's face changed slightly, and she almost sighed softly.

Realizing that she was watching, Meng Shu turned his head to stare at her, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is Madam looking at me like this?" ”

"Nothing!" As soon as Meng Shu spoke, Mrs. Zhurong's face suddenly turned cold again, and she said to him expressionlessly: "I was just thinking, the king went out with tens of thousands of horses, so why didn't he order some war elephants?" ”

Standing beside her, what Meng Yu was afraid of was that she suddenly said such a sentence, and her cheeks turned red when she asked, and she didn't dare to say more.

Meng Shu didn't dare to say anything more, and Mrs. Zhurong also knew that there was not much point in dwelling on this matter, so she didn't say more.

In the open space between the Han army and the barbarians, two armies and horses were slowly approaching each other.

Neither side took out their longbows or crossbows, and the soldiers only held shields and blades and advanced towards each other in formation.

The array of the Han army was neat, and the large array of soldiers lined up looked like a piece of tofu cut with a knife from top to bottom.

Compared to the Han army array, the barbarian ranks were much more scattered.

The distance between each barbarian is not equal, and from a distance, they are more like a group of undisciplined outcasts, and both sides can tell which team is more diligent in their daily training as long as they look at the neatness of the team.

Leading the Han army towards the barbarian ranks, Xu Chu held the blade in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly with every step forward of the war horse.

In the battle a few days ago, the barbarians sent men and horses to attack the Han army's array, and Zhuge Jun only sent partial generals to meet the battle, and never ordered Xu Chu and others to lead the army to fight.

Today, he directly ordered Xu Chu to lead the troops forward, but Dian Wei got the order, just waiting for the barbarians to be killed by the Han army, and immediately led the elephant soldiers to attack the barbarians.

Although Xu Chu said that he was ordinary, he could also see that Zhuge Jun pinned his hopes on this battle, and perhaps this battle was the key to defeating the barbarians in front of him.

"Kill!" Seeing that he was only forty or fifty paces away from the barbarian, Xu Chu slammed his legs towards the horse's belly, and rushed forward with his horse, while letting out a roar of rage.
