Chapter 264: The Wonderful Use of Fireworks

'Aung ······'

With a high roar, when a tall war elephant with seven or eight crossbow arrows stuck in his body charged, suddenly his right eye was pierced from a distance by a long crossbow arrow, straight into the depths of his skull, and then with a mournful roar, he suddenly smashed to the ground together with the elephant luan on his body.

The tall war elephant fell to the ground with a bang, not only throwing several Funan elephant warriors who were fighting with the Chen soldiers to the ground and being trampled to death by the other war elephants next to them, but even the other Chen soldiers who were fighting with those elephant warriors just now were also crushed to death by the fallen war elephants because they couldn't dodge.

As the arrow of the attack of the indigenous coalition army, it is the weevil warrior of Funan country, on the one hand, with the support of elephants, they can attack condescendingly, taking a great advantage, and on the other hand, they are using a large team of war elephants to open up a way for the subsequent indigenous coalition to attack.

Of course, not all war elephants charge very smoothly, after all, elephants are long meat, and the flesh of the soles of elephants' feet is very soft, easy to be stabbed by various sharp objects, and later generations of Thailand once put shoes on elephants in order to protect some elephants.

Taking advantage of this weakness of elephants, under the command of Ouyang Wei, the soldiers of the Chen army quietly set up many sharp bamboo sticks that were only one inch long on the ground in front of the two armies, with an average of one at every one foot, and stretched to the west of the entire Ninghai county town with a width of three zhang.

As a result, the Funan Elephant Army did not notice when it charged, and was stabbed and wounded hundreds of war elephants during the first charge, which was even better than the effect of Wang Ze's use of grenades, which not only damaged the elephant army of the Nanyang Coalition Army, but also seriously damaged their morale.

Although the Chen army took some advantage at the beginning, the Nanyang coalition army quickly regained the upper hand, because of the weight advantage of the war elephants, some of the fortifications prepared by the original Chen army were finally washed down after resisting the impact of many war elephants, and then the Chen army and the Nanyang coalition soldiers were mixed together.

The soldiers of the Chen army were not very afraid of this kind of group battle, after all, they came from after the Hou Jing Rebellion, veterans who had been in battle formations, and in the melee, they used teams, gangs, and even combat units one by one, constantly cutting down a native soldier of Mingjiaozhou to the ground.

A veteran brandished a long knife and after slashing and killing an indigenous soldier in Jiaozhou, he was still in the mood to joke with others: "This weapon made in the East China Sea is easy to use, I have used this big knife to cut off the weapons of three indigenous people!" ”

Compared with the technical flow route style of Chen Jun's soldiers, the aborigines of Jiaozhou, who are the cannon fodder of Funan, are a violent soldier, and they invest almost all their troops in one go, wanting to use crowd tactics to fight with Chen Jun, but they are not lagging behind for a while.

Ouyang Yu and Mrs. Xian stood on the city wall in armor and looked out of the city, Mrs. Xian is now nearly forty years old after all, plus her identity is different from the past, even if she wants to go to the battlefield again, she will not have that chance, but when she sees her sons and daughters fighting with the natives of Nanyang with flesh and blood, she is still anxious.

Seeing Ouyang Yu, who was still very calm beside her, she asked anxiously, "Ouyang Dadudu, when will we be able to use that weapon?" ”

Ouyang Yi looked at the sky, at this time, the battle on the battlefield had lasted for an hour, and the physical strength of the natives of Jiaozhou was almost consumed, so he nodded to Mrs. Xian and smiled: "Mrs. Tai, don't worry, we can use it now!" ”

Saying that, Ouyang Yan gave an order to the guards beside him: "Beat the drum!" ”

I don't know when dozens of cowhide drums with a diameter of more than two meters were arranged on the city wall of Ninghai County, and after hearing Ouyang Yu's order, one by one the majestic drummers held drumsticks with thick wrists and began to wave vigorously.

The sound of the big drum with a diameter of two meters was already very loud, and when dozens of big drums were beaten together, the heavy sound of the drum gathering resounded in the sky, and it also spread to every corner of the battlefield, and all the soldiers of the Chen Army paid attention to it at this time.

With the sound of drums, I saw a large number of Chen soldiers appearing in the rear of the Chen army and on the city wall of Ninghai County, but these soldiers did not hold any weapons, but carried a strange thing in their hands that was fixed together with bamboo pipes.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Metropolitan Governor, the soldiers of the Chen army are all wearing their helmets and armor today under the orders of the commander, even if they are sweating from the heat, but still none of them dare to lose their helmets.

In the sound of drums, only listening to the screams in the sky, one after another gorgeous flowers bloomed impressively in the two armies in the battle, the density was so high, and the intensity of the sound was simply unbearable.

Knowledgeable soldiers don't know what this thing is, if Wang Ze is there, they will definitely tell them that this is a very beautiful salute flower. In this year's New Year, in order to shine in the temple ceremony of the Haotian God Sect, it was developed by Chen Kun and Chen Daochang of the Haotian God Sect.

Later, Wang Ze saw that Zhu Qingqing and the two daughters liked it very much, so in order to make Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan happy, he prepared more, and then Feng Fu also wanted to show his mother Mrs. Xian after seeing it, so he also brought a lot when he came, and this time it was just used to deal with the Funan Elephant Army. Goshoya

The soldiers of the Chen army are not bad, although they have never seen this thing, but because of Ouyang Yan's previous instructions, they are all wearing thick clothes and helmets, and most of them are facing away from the city wall, so they dodge, at most they burn their clothes, but the indigenous coalition army on the opposite side is miserable.

Jiaozhou was originally extremely hot and humid, and the natives there didn't wear much clothes, usually some powerful and powerful leaders with status and status wore modified clothes like the Han people, and most of the indigenous soldiers wore shorts, small coats, and bare arms.

It was really cool to wear it like this in the past, but now it was blown open by the ceremonial flowers that exploded in the crowd, let alone open your eyes to fight Chen Jun.

Relatively speaking, the aborigines of Jiaozhou are not more miserable, and even more miserable is the elephant army of Funan, as we all know, elephants have extremely keen hearing (just look at those two big ears), and they are afraid of fire and fright.

As a result, this time, Ouyang Yu used the fireworks provided by Wang Ze to set off like this, and suddenly all the indigenous soldiers in Jiaozhou were staggered into a formation, not to mention that even the war elephants of the original and extremely brave Funan Elephant Army were all frightened.

These frightened war elephants no longer paid attention to the orders of the elephant man on their backs, and ran wildly in all directions, and from time to time there were elephants because they were in a panic, and they collided with each other, and the elephants themselves might just take a break, but all the warriors of the Funan Kingdom in the elephant luan above were killed on it.

The Funan elephant warriors riding the war elephants all ended up in such a fate, and the Funan infantry and Jiaozhou natives who followed the war elephants were even more stepped out of the flesh and blood paved roads by the war elephants.

Seeing that the fireworks provided by Wang Ze had such a good effect, Ouyang Wei, who was already very confident, was also surprised, but he still pretended to smile calmly and said to Mrs. Xian beside him: "It's still a young man who has ideas, I can't imagine that Xiahou's newly invented weapon is so wonderful!" ”

Seeing the Nanyang coalition soldiers on the battlefield running wildly, and the slang soldiers and Chen soldiers chasing and killing frantically behind, Mrs. Xian was also relieved, it turned out that she was still being pressed and beaten by the Nanyang indigenous coalition army, and she didn't expect to rely on this weapon to turn the tables in a blink of an eye.

So Mrs. Xian also nodded slightly and said: "That's true, last year, my servant went to Xiahou in the East China Sea to study for a year, and after coming back, it turned out that his knowledge has risen greatly, although he is not the Confucian knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, but now he is already mature and sensible!" ”

Saying that, Mrs. Xian told Ouyang Ze some things about Wang Ze in the East China Sea, although Wang Ze did not pay attention to Confucianism, but the Mohist doctrine was carried forward a lot, but all the workshops in the East China Sea had machinery that could use water power as power.

A wind-powered mill, a water-powered iron workshop, an animal-powered or water-powered textile workshop, and so on, even Ouyang is itching in his heart.

He had also heard of the name Wang Ze and the Xia Kingdom of the East China Sea before, but Ouyang Wei didn't care about it at that time, thinking that it was just a small country with a slightly stronger army, but he didn't know that Wang Ze was able to destroy the Wa Kingdom in just a few years, and even swept away the original East China Sea powers Baekje and Silla.

At present, the Xia Kingdom has become the de facto overlord of the East China Sea, and Goguryeo is a land overlord and a sea overlord, I heard that even Goguryeo is extremely afraid of the rapid rise of the Xia Kingdom, which makes Ouyang have more and more thoughts of wanting to go to the East China Sea.

Although there are still many things I want to continue to ask Mrs. Xian, after all, there is more important things to do, that is, to prepare a good place for the upcoming Nanyang Allied prisoners of war.

Although Ouyang Yi had made a lot of preparations for the battle, but he did not prepare a camp that could hold many prisoners of war, and now that he had won, he simply imprisoned all the prisoners of war in a workshop in Ninghai County, which was surrounded by a wall, and closed the door of the workshop was a ready-made independent space.

The battlefield was densely covered with a large number of corpses killed in battle, and the wounded Chen soldiers had been sent to the city in time, where there was a medical force composed of those doctors brought by Wang Ze, which could treat the injured Nan Chen soldiers, and also restored hope to many soldiers who were ready to die.

But Ouyang Yan looked at the battlefield in front of him and sighed: "This land is ruined, and I won't dare to arrange people to live here for the next one or two decades!" ”

Although the soldiers who died in the previous battle were buried in deep pits, the corpse gas emitted by the high temperature and humidity environment still made people easily infected with the plague, which also made the place unsuitable for human habitation.

Mrs. Xian heard Ouyang Wei's sigh but laughed back: "The Metropolitan Governor has forgotten, since we have won a big victory now, then we can take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and then we can naturally completely pacify the entire Jiaozhou, so that not only Jiaozhou, but even the Rinan County lost in the former Han Dynasty can be recovered!" ”

Hearing Mrs. Xian's words, Ouyang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, now Wang Ze, Zhou Wenhua, A Niu and others have led the coalition army to conquer the capital of Linyi Kingdom, and this time he happened to continue to go south to join Wang Ze and others after occupying Jiaozhou by chasing and killing the natives of Jiaozhou.

In this way, the Linyi Kingdom, which has been separated from China for more than 300 years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, will be recovered by itself, which is a great contribution to history!
