Seeing that the elephant cavalry of the Han army had trampled through countless flesh and blood and was about to arrive at the Wuping camp, Li Yuan immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Fuyuan crossbow ready!" Crossbowmen prepare! ...... Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! ”

While Fu Yuan's crossbow kept roaring, I saw thousands of Wuping army crossbowmen bending their bows and arrows, and finally pouring the overwhelming rain of arrows into the herd of war elephants that entered the firing range. Covered by thousands of arrows, even the war elephants that are protected to the teeth are a little unbearable, after all, they still have some parts that cannot be protected, such as the most vulnerable eyes.

Under several rounds of intensive arrow rain attacks, five or six war elephants fell to the ground with a bang, like the collapse of small mountains, splashing dust on the ground. The soldiers of the Wuping Army cheered, it turned out that these elephant cavalry were not completely invincible, and they would also be shot.

The rain of arrows also killed many of the elephant trainers on the backs of the elephants, although the anti-arrow measures on the elephant seat were already very complete, the elastic green bamboo elephant constellation was surrounded by oak shields as armor to prevent arrows from falling from the sky.

But these protections can only withstand some mild to moderate attacks. Countless strong bows and crossbows hit the elephant seat, the oak shield began to burst, the wooden roof was also shot apart, and then the elephant trainers inevitably suffered a rain of arrows.

The power of the Tang crossbow is worthy of its name, and after more than ten war elephants fell in a row, the elephant herd finally slowed down, and most of them lost the instructions of the elephant trainers. The rest of the war elephants also echoed the sorrowful hisses and followed closely behind the elephants, turning around and rushing towards the front army of the Han army, which had finally escaped the ravages of the war elephants.

In the blink of an eye, the frenzied elephant herd once again waded through the same sea of blood, and in front of them, most of the 5,000 former soldiers of the Han Army were already mutilated corpses, or they were completely dead with arrows, or they were rolling on the ground with stumps and broken arms and bodies pierced by arrows.

But God did not show mercy to them because they had just experienced the catastrophe, but on the contrary, it was a second nightmare. The speed at which the elephant gallops is astonishing, and the speed of a short all-out sprint is comparable to that of a horse. In just a few moments, the war elephants were like meat grinders, rampage through the Han army again, until they completely destroyed one life after another.

Under the banner of the giant elephant green, Xie Gui, the commander of the Han army, looked at all this in the distance in a daze, and the shock in his heart was indescribable. At this time, it is impossible to express this kind of scene in words, in Xie Gui's view, it is a nightmare in front of him, and the situation that was originally a sure victory seems to be reversed again.

After the order was ordered to evacuate the front army, although thousands of soldiers were ruthlessly shot by the Wuping army on the way to escape, the remaining three or four thousand lucky ones were able to successfully escape, and now they died unbelievably under the feet of the Han army's own elephant herd, which made Xie Gui and the generals in the rear feel painful, and they could not be rescued at all.

Although there were not many of these war elephants in front of him, even though Xie Gui knew their habits well, he really couldn't think of a way to quickly kill all of these behemoths for a while. Most of the soldiers of the 5,000 former army died, and if they continued to let the war elephants rampant without trying to stop it, I am afraid that even these Han soldiers in the rear would not be spared. He could have thought in advance that there would be heavy casualties, but he definitely didn't expect to pay such a heavy price before he could enter the camp.

Can this battalion still be attacked? Can this battle still be fought? Looking at the sunset in the west and the messy battlefield, Xie Gui regretted it. And the reason for regret is that he provoked Li Yuan, and he was really stupid to come out and despise the enemy for the sake of meritorious service.

Although so far, Xie Dutong, who prides himself on being the victorious general of the Han Kingdom, is still dissatisfied with Li Yuan in his bones, he also has to admit that Li Yuan has incomparable luck in others......

Luck is naturally part of the strength, Xie Gui is now kicked to the iron plate, the Wuping army camp in the distance is still standing in the sunset, and Li Yuan, who is under the Chinese army, must be grinning and laughing at himself for being self-defeating. What should I do now? Do you want to stop there, or do you fight to the death?

Xie Gui, who was originally frightened in his heart, suddenly had the idea of fighting with all his might, turned around and ordered loudly: "Array to meet the enemy!" Crossbowmen, shoot arrows at the elephant herd for Pontus! ”

"Dutong, that's our own war elephant! Besides, there are still some of our brothers alive there, and this arrow must be shot at his own people. A general reminded.

Xie Gui opened his eyes and scolded loudly: "Are those beasts important or our lives important?" I can't care so much, even if the former army is all martyred, we still have an advantage in numbers! Shoot arrows! ”

The generals didn't dare to say more, they saw that Xie Gui's eyes were blood-red, and they were afraid that Xie Dutong was already about to go crazy.

In desperation, the crossbowmen of the Han army finally violated the rules of the battlefield, regardless of the fact that their former soldiers were mixed with the war elephants not far away and began to raise their hands and release arrows.

This is the cruelty of war, in fact, the Han army has been accustomed to ignoring the arrows whistling overhead, and the comrades who fell around them are accustomed to it, at this moment, the most common thing is death, everything is like gambling on luck, so although most people are dissatisfied with the ruthless cold-bloodedness of Xie Gui's military order, they gradually let go of the worries in their minds, after all, war is actually a bet on whether they can live a little longer than others.

"Meng, Meng! Don't stop for a moment! Xie Gui stood anxiously, and the guards around him immediately conveyed his orders to all departments of the army. When looking ahead, he found that the war elephants who had just been frightened and driven back by the Wuping army were poured with a rain of arrows on their heads at this time, and they also seemed to have stopped in front of the Han army.

Seeing this, Xie Gui laughed, and a general beside him also said excitedly: "All are wise!" Those brutes were restrained by us after all! The Wuping camp can't hold on for a long time! ”

Xie Gui's brows soothed, nodded and stroked his beard and said, "See, this Li Yuan is just luck, and he still can't crack the trick of Bendutong!" Remember, as a partial general of the Pontus, the Pontus sincerely hopes that you can learn something from this battle, and will definitely give you more opportunities to fight and make meritorious contributions in the future......"

This war is not over yet, but Xie Gui seems to be winning, and has even begun to summarize after the war...... I saw that the lieutenant general showed an embarrassed smile, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the kindness of the last general!" The last general will definitely sum up the experience from this, and continue to fight for the capital in the future! ”

After all, he is his confidant general, and if he has no ability, he is also his old subordinate. Xie Gui was waiting for Wen Yan to comfort him a few words, when he suddenly heard the guards beside him exclaim, "What is that?" ”

Xie Gui frowned and said, "What are you shouting about?" Scared the whole of Bendu jumped. ”

The guard hurriedly confessed, pointed to the south and shouted, "Xie Dutong! Is the villain dazzled? How can I see that something is wrong in the south. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they all burst into surprise.

"That's ...... It seems to be cavalry. ”

"It's the Tang Army, it's the cavalry of the Tang Army, coming at us."

Xie Gui hurriedly looked to the south, and sure enough, with the thunderous roar of hooves in his ears, countless figures were moving quickly on horseback. Soon, the sunset on the horizon clearly shone on the banner of this cavalry, and it was the countless cavalry of the Wuping Army who were galloping on horseback, their armor and blades shining in the setting sun, the horses' hooves rising and falling, and the ground shaking, like thunder.

"This ...... What's going on? Reinforcements from the Don Army? Xie Gui said dumbly.

"Could it be the cavalry of the Wuping Army who turned around and harassed them?" The adjutant general suddenly said in a deep voice: "All the generals! This time, I'm afraid they're going to do it again! At this time, I must know that our army is attacking the camp of the Wuping army with all its might, and this is to sneak attack the rear of our army......"
