Chapter 780: Restraint

The elephant was struck so hard that the halberd stuck deep into its right eye.

The giant beast did not die on the spot with its strong vitality, but it had lost its mind under the severe pain.

It first jumped on the spot, its thick hind limbs stepping on the Locke rider who had been thrown off by it.

The man could only let out a scream, and his stomach burst open as he stepped on his car, and red, white, and black flew in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the injured elephant ran like crazy and hit the butt of the elephant next to him, and the tail of the elephant that was hit was attacked, and in horror, he hit another elephant next to him.

Four or five elephants were affected, causing a brief period of confusion in the herd that had been lined up to charge.

Such a sight surprised everyone who paid attention to the battlefield here.

"What a strong man!"

Cao Shen praised it.

Being able to have the courage to face the elephant herd, and being able to throw a halberd thirty steps and hit the elephant's eye is enough to prove that this person is far beyond ordinary people in terms of skill and bravery, and this blow that disturbs the elephant herd alone is enough to record a great merit for him.

Of course, the premise is that this Qin army warrior who stands up and fights for the elephant can save his life.

"Damn the Qin people, you dare to hurt my giant elephant!"

King Luo also saw this scene, and instantly became furious, shouting: "Die, die! This king wants this Qin man to die, trample him to death for me! ”

Roar!

There are more than a dozen elephants in the Luo people, and at this moment, four or five elephants were affected by Xiang Ji's attack and messed up. But the remaining elephants, under the scolding and whipping of their backs, still rushed towards Xiang Ji and the right flank of the Qin army behind him.

"Brother Yu, run!"

Liu Bang shouted in the rear, and at the same time spread his legs and ran around.

At this moment, the order of the main general Cao Shen to let the right flank of the Qin army disperse and turn into a straggler formation to the enemy elephant soldiers has been conveyed by the loudspeaker, and the Qin soldiers on the right flank can openly dodge the charge of the elephant herd.

Of course, this is not to let them escape, but to stretch out the formation and reduce the damage from the impact of the herd. At the same time, the Qin soldiers also had to use their bows and crossbows and weapons to attack the elephant herd from all directions, leading them to the four directions, so as to avoid impacting the Qin army battle formation in the middle.

The Qin pawns in the rear could dodge, but Xiang Ji was too late.

Between him and the charging herd, there were only twenty or so steps left.

At this distance, it is impossible for a person to outrun an elephant under any circumstances, and once he turns around, he will be trampled into flesh by this group of giant beasts in an instant.

Xiang Ji did not choose to dodge, but faced the elephant herd head-on, holding the machete tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

No matter how brave he is, it is impossible for him to fight the elephants head-on, and the next scene can be imagined.

But he was not afraid, but his whole body was full of blood, and he roared: "Even if I die here, I can't kill Zhao Tuo, and I want that old thief to know my prestige!" ”

Xiang Ji stood in the dust, charging in a crowd alone, and this scene made countless people stunned.

There are such strong men in the world!

"Shoot me!"

"Shoot them in the face!"

Just in the midst of the lightning, behind the side of Xiang Ji, Han Xin had already rushed here with dozens of people, and at the same time gave the order to shoot.

These Qin soldiers brought by Han Xin raised special copper pipes one by one and aimed at the charging elephant herd.

Behind him, he lit the torch.

In an instant, one after another shrill sounds rang out.

Accompanied by these harsh sounds, colorful flames of light burst out of the brass pipes.

Smoke fills the air.

The speed of the light flame was very fast, and it instantly hit the elephant herd.

Brilliant brilliance exploded in the faces of these jungle behemoths.

"What is this, how can it shine!"

Alamo, the king of Xiou, who was holding his arms to watch a good show, changed slightly, he had never seen anything emitted from the brass pipe held by the Qin people, which made Alamo's heart swell with a bad premonition.

This Qin army is very different from the one they defeated before in terms of equipment.

Compared with the surprise of King Xiou, King Luo saw that his elephant was shot in the face by the Qin people with an inexplicable gadget, and he immediately jumped like thunder.

"It's useless, my giant elephant is invincible, it's useless to care about what you have, I'm going to crush you!"

King Luo is very confident, because the elephant has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is tenacious, even if it is shot by a bow and crossbow, it still has the strength to charge.

But the scene that appeared next made his eyes pop out in shock.

I saw that the elephants who were originally charging in groups under the command of the driver were shot in the face by the light and flame, and they instantly became a mess.

They howled in terror, or crashed into each other in fear, or strode in other directions,

No matter how much they scolded and whipped the camels on the elephant's back, they were useless.

At the same time, under Han Xin's orders, Qin pawn again conducted a second round of shooting.

As the screams rang out, brilliant flames of light bloomed, and the pungent smell of gunsmoke filled the herd.

All the elephants regarded the location of the Qin army as a dangerous place, and they turned around and ran wildly, even the elephant that had been inserted into the eye socket by Xiang Ji also crashed into the Luo army formation behind in a wail.

"It's a cloud-piercing arrow!"

There was a cheer from the Qin army.

Xiang Ji looked ahead in a daze, the herd of elephants that were about to rush towards him just now scattered and fled, and he didn't react for a while.

As far as he knew, Qin Jun's cloud-piercing arrows only had the function of reporting information, and they had no lethality, why did Luo Yue's elephants run away after being shot in the face, this thing was even more powerful than his halberd?

In the rear of the Qin army, the main general Cao Shen smiled.

"The general is right, although these elephants are infinitely powerful, they are actually very timid, and the cloud-piercing arrow is their nemesis."

"Luo Yue elephant soldiers, don't be afraid!"

The screeching sound of the cloud-piercing arrows when they were fired, the brilliance of the flames when they exploded, and the pungent smell of sulfur, even if a warrior like Xiang Ji was shot a few times in the face, he would still be terrified, let alone these elephants who were already timid by nature.

Seeing that the elephant herd was defeated, the Locke people in the rear fell into confusion.

Cao Shen immediately made a decision and immediately ordered a part of the right flank to attack those Luo Yue people, and the remaining part immediately pressed the Ou army in the center.

The Qin army wants to take advantage of the situation to counterattack!

The Ou people in front of the battle array saw that their friendly army with which they had pinned their hopes was defeated, and their morale collapsed in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Alamo, the king of Xiou, gave the order to retreat.

On the other side, Ah Tugu, who was responsible for attacking the left flank of the Qin army, also ran away with people when he saw that something was wrong.

"Kill me!"

Cao Shen raised his long sword and gave the order for an all-out attack.

The drums of war sounded, and the Qin soldiers of all departments began to chase the fleeing Yue people to the north, turning this surprise attack launched by the Yue people into a chase battle for the Qin army to chase and kill the remnants of the enemy.

……

At dusk, the Qin army withdrew its troops, and the whole battle came to an end.

After the military judge counted after the war.

In this battle, the Qin army suffered about 300 casualties and killed more than 2,000 Yue people, which can already be called a great victory.

After all, the Yue people have few soldiers, and the number of more than two thousand is already all the combat strength of some medium-sized tribes.

The biggest gain of this battle was that the Qin army broke Luo Yue's elephant soldiers with cloud-piercing arrows, which greatly improved the morale of the Qin soldiers, and at the same time dealt a huge blow to the alliance between Luo Yue and Xiou.

The Qin army, which is only 5,000 people, can obtain such a result, and when the general leads a large army to come, won't it be a crushing momentum?

When the results of the battle were cleared, the main general Cao Shen remembered the warrior who dared to face the elephant herd alone in the daytime.

He commanded the short soldiers, "Call the warrior who threw the halberd during the day." ”
