Pan Chongche took a deep breath and said unhurriedly, "Tang Jun is afraid that he will get carried away for a while because of these beasts! Since the Tang army took the initiative to send them to death, Pontus will fulfill them!"

The general hurriedly said, "Dutong, what should we do with those elephant riders? It was all given to us by His Majesty, and it is very difficult to train one......

Pan Chongche shook his head with a gloomy face, and decisively ordered, "The crossbowmen are ready to meet the enemy immediately!" In any case, these brutes must not be left in the hands of the Tang Army!"

The general was distressed, but he had no choice but to give the order immediately. The pikemen immediately retreated, and then the Han army's crossbowmen were replaced everywhere around the battlements, and as if they were afraid that the crossbowmen would not have enough quivers, there were soldiers in the rear who were constantly carrying the arrows collected from the army back and forth.

In a short time, one hundred and thirty-five war elephants arrived at the city smoothly, and behind them were a large number of armored infantry of the Wuping army. With a terrible hissing sound, all the war elephants waved their noses and roared, and the sound resounded throughout the battlefield. Immediately after that, the tallest war elephant took its first step under the command of the elephant trainer.

As if ordered by the leader, all the war elephants immediately moved together, a little slow and clumsy at the beginning, but after a dozen steps, the elephants entered the full speed of running, don't look at these behemoths seem to be bulky, but the speed of running is not slow at all, one after another heavy elephant feet rumbled on the ground, and immediately a dull echo could be heard, and in an instant dust and gravel splashed sideways, rising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Behind the elephant herd, more than 10,000 Wuping troops also shouted loudly and rushed to Chenzhou City like a tide. All the ladders captured from the Han camp were carried and charged by the Wuping sergeants, and it seemed that Chai Kewu was going to use all the resources at his disposal to fight this great battle.

Seeing that these ferocious elephant cavalry ignored the obstruction of the iron wall in front of them, they came straight through the entire battlefield, and were about to appear a hundred paces away. The elephant trunk was waving, the ivory was high, this terrifying formation seemed to want to penetrate everything, Pan Chongche thought that these field killing weapons domesticated by the whole Han State were used by the Tang army so violently, and his heart was immediately indignant.

At the same time, the tidal wave of Sergeant Wuping also appeared in the rear of the elephant herd, about to enter the range of 100 paces.

"Crossbowmen ready!" Pan Chongche's face was serious, and he raised his long sword and shouted.

Three hundred strong bows and crossbows began to string arrows, and the city was full of solemn and murderous atmosphere, and the soldiers of the Han army naturally knew where to aim, and the only breakthrough to deal with these behemoths was their eyes.

It's not that elephant skins are inherently tough, no matter how tough the fur of a beast is, it is ultimately covered with flesh and blood, how can it withstand a strong bow and a crossbow?

It is only because the Han State has its own unique method of training elephant cavalry. Obviously, the cost of training an elephant cavalry is very high, not only to spend a lot of time training the passwords, but also to provide these war elephants with an astonishing amount of food, so that they can be raised to be extremely strong until they can become a solid fortress on the battlefield, and the flesh is strong, and the fur is naturally hard.

But just feeding in large quantities is far from being invulnerable. This is a unique secret method of domesticating war elephants in the Han Kingdom, which is to make the elephant soldiers smear a kind of extremely sticky soil from the deep mountains of Lingnan on the war elephants every day, and add a special seaweed to mash and mix it into a sticky slurry.

Applied day after day, the war elephant probably felt nothing like a bath. It is not until a month or two later that the effect of this secret method becomes amazing, and the sticky slurry applied to the epidermis eventually condenses into a thick layer of outer skin, which is tough and elastic. Not only is it waterproof and fireproof, but ordinary arrows are also difficult to penetrate......

Therefore, in order to deal with these war elephants with hard skin, the Han army, who knew the secret method of elephant training, naturally gave priority to attacking the most vulnerable position of the war elephants - the eyes.

As Pan Chongche gave a loud order, the screeching sound of the bow and crossbow was loud, and the overwhelming arrows immediately covered the charging elephant cavalry and Wuping soldiers like fast-moving dark clouds. In just an instant, the powerful rain of arrows was like cutting wheat, and the hundreds of Wuping soldiers who were charging forward were knocked down first.

As for the more than 100 elephant horses that seem to be unstoppable, after all, they were all targeted by the Han army, under the locust-like arrows and crossbow arrows, more than ten war elephants were inevitably pierced in the eye, and the loss of vision suddenly added to the huge pain, these injured war elephants suddenly seemed to go crazy, not only began to lose their way, but even waved their sharp tusks around, rolled their trunks, and threw the Wuping soldiers into the air.

Anyone who steps on any of these heavy elephant legs will crush them into a pulp in an instant. Coupled with the Han army's crossbowmen who kept shooting at the city, these more than 100 elephant cavalry soon became the most terrifying nightmare of the Wuping army, rampaging on the battlefield and invincible.

The battlefield was suddenly chaotic, the front armor of the Wuping army was ruthlessly trampled by the elephant cavalry, and the elephant training soldiers in the elephant fortress on the back of the war elephant were originally from the Han army, even if there was a Wuping sergeant behind him, but in the face of such a sudden thrilling situation, they were helpless, and at this time they could not control these huge beasts who lost their minds.

But how could the brave Wuping sergeant sit still and wait to be killed? I saw that dozens of sergeants quickly surrounded an elephant, and the sharp blades continued to poke and stab the body of the war elephant, but the result was unexpected, although the war elephant had more than a dozen shallow wounds on its body, and these dozens of soldiers of the Wuping Army were killed one by one under the savage collision of the war elephant, and the same scene was staged many times in a short period of time.

Chai Kewu, who witnessed all this tragedy, was already trembling, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

At present, the soldiers of Wuping are pouring into the city like a tide, and a head-on battle between the two sides is coming. The more than 100 war elephants in front of them could not play the role originally envisaged, but secondly, at this time, they rampaged in their own infantry formation, almost completely destroying the siege formation, how could they meet the upcoming siege battle? How can this battle be fought?

"Okay!" Pan Chongche, the commander of the Han army at the head of the city, saw this scene and was overjoyed in his heart.

The battlefield is changing, and in a short moment, the balance of the two sides seems to be tilting, and the Wuping army is obviously higher than the Han army in casualties at this time, and the Wuping army has about 300 casualties, but it has not even touched the head of the city guarded by the Han army.

"Damn!" Chai Kewu couldn't help but scold, and then seemed to be like a fish in his throat, but he pressed the saber on his waist tightly, and stood across the horse with a gloomy face.

The subordinate general beside him hurriedly stopped, "Envoy, those beasts have gone crazy, how can our sergeants be mortals, how can they resist it? Why don't you retreat for now?"

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was obviously out of control, and the number of casualties of the Wuping army soared rapidly, Chai Kewu could only give an order unwillingly, and all the soldiers immediately retreated, ordering the archers in the rear to step forward and fire arrows for cover. As for the war elephants, as long as they can still control nature, they can be withdrawn, and those beasts who have gone crazy can only watch them continue to rampage on the battlefield until they die of exhaustion......
