This method Li Xiang still thought of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times, when Meng Shu appeared on the side of the beast, Zhuge Liang also used fire attacks.

Changsun Chong never appeared on the battlefield, just because he received this order from Li Xiang, he had to collect a large amount of lamp oil, otherwise it would not be enough.

"Can this burn an elephant to death?"

Changsun Ze said a little strangely, the power of the fire bottle is indeed not small, but if you want to burn the elephant to death, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Seeing Li Xiang shake, shaking his head, the people under his hands are even more stupid, since we can't burn the elephant to death, then why do we have to get so many fire bottles? It's not cheap, from mud bottles to lamp oil.

"I know what you are wondering about is that these things are also meant to stop the advance of the war elephant troops, and when they rush up, we must create a sea of fire in front of them, and no matter how the soldiers push the elephants, they will not continue to move forward, and this time will give us time to react, and when the war elephant troops turn in circles, you will have to kill the beast tamers as quickly as possible."

Li Xiang carefully explained the tactics to everyone, and when Li Xiang finished speaking, these people present also understood that it was too difficult to kill the elephant, even the current Tang army was not sure, but if the beast tamer was killed, then the elephant would become the original beast.

"And you have to understand that except for the cavalry, other armies can't touch the war elephant troops, after we kill the beast tamers, these elephants are in a state of madness, if the infantry gets too close, they may trample the cavalry to death at any time, and after killing the beast tamers, they must retreat as soon as possible."

Li Xiang continued to talk about his tactics, and everyone nodded beside him, without the beast tamers, these elephants would go crazy for a while, but the retreat speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the elephant's running speed could not keep up.

When the elephants ran out of strength, their army ceased to exist.

There are more elephants in the country of Pi, but they don't have so many beast tamers, and after losing a batch on the battlefield, it is not so easy for them to replenish it.

"I also brought a lot of animal trainers from Nanzhao this time, they are also confident to tame some elephants, we also have to follow the local customs, these elephants are not weak, if they are tamed, every day just for us to transport things, it is worth several war horses."

Changsun Chong pointed to a camp to the north, where there were already more than 200 beast tamers.

These people can't guarantee that they will be able to tame the elephants, but there are always some who will succeed.

"Then we can attack with confidence, and from tomorrow onwards you will sweep the surrounding unoccupied areas and exterminate all resistance forces."

Li Xiang has been worried in the past few days, if we encounter the war elephant troops, then our losses must be indispensable, now with these fire bottles, then there is nothing to worry about, each army has some, if we encounter the war elephant troops, directly surround them with flames, we can retreat calmly.

Of course, this is just a fighting style researched by Li Xiang, whether it can work on the real battlefield or not, it has to be seen slowly.

Under the encouragement of the king of the country of Pi, the troops in various regions moved relatively quickly, and in only seven or eight days, they had already gathered into a long river like a stream, and a total of more than 90,000 people had been gathered.

Together with the more than 30,000 people supported by Chenla, an army of 120,000 was formed, and under the leadership of General Mipon, they began to advance towards the north.

Coincidentally, the combat area chosen by the Bi State and the combat area chosen by Li Xiang basically coincided, and this place was located about fifty kilometers south of Wacheng, which was a flat plain.

According to the idea of the court of the state of Pi, they first concentrated their superior forces to carry out a devastating blow to the army of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the army of the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses, then the remaining army of the Tang Dynasty would definitely withdraw, even if it did not retreat, it would stick to the city of Wacheng, and would not cause too much damage to the south of the country of Pi.

When this strategy was announced, General Mipong also understood that the court of the Bi State did not even think of recovering the lost territory in the north, as long as it could make the Tang army stop, then the Bi State was even willing to cede the land in the north.

This made General Mipong very disappointed, but he couldn't screw the entire court alone, he could only think that this battle would be won beautifully, so that the Tang army could retreat a little farther.

Of course, this is a very difficult matter, don't look at the Tang army in the south of Wacheng only about 20,000 people, they have a full 120,000 people on their side, and the Tang army is even inferior to a fraction of theirs, but General Mi Peng understands that he can kill Wacheng in such a short time, do you think that the Tang army is all eating dry food? Our army on the northern frontier is much more elite than these men in the south.

The Bi Kingdom has always regarded the Tang Dynasty as their greatest threat, so the most elite army in the country is on the northern border.

According to their ideas, even if we can't win, but as the defensive side, Wacheng should be in our hands, at most, we will lose the land in the north of Wacheng, but who knew that Wacheng would fall in such a short time.

So when I went to the north, General Mipon frowned all the time, and the rest of the army was very optimistic, after receiving the support of 30,000 people from Zhenla, they thought that spitting and foaming could drown the Tang army, and we were six times their number.

For the optimism of his subordinates, General Topone doesn't know what to say, if the battlefield only depends on numbers, then the Tang Dynasty directly drove over 200,000 troops, we just admit defeat directly, why bother to fight for life and death on the battlefield? Wouldn't it be better to skip the process?

Of course, he can't say these words, the morale of his own soldiers is not high, if he says these words again, and he is also the commander of the army, then the morale of the entire army will drop sharply, I am afraid that there will be deserters in the front-line army.

Moo!

Just when the general of the honeyshed was thinking about the question, the cries of more than a dozen elephants next to him sounded, and the face of the general of the secret tent finally showed a smile, how could we forget our secret weapon?

This is something that the Tang army has never seen before, and it has never fought in Nanzhao......
