Chapter 498: The White Elephant Died Violently, and the Bright Flag Fluttered

Wang Zhi is about to enter middle age, but his face is beardless, his skin is still fair and delicate, his red lips are very thin, and the whole person exudes a bit of cruelty.

He never thought of himself as a good person, but he also didn't think that anyone in this world deserved to die except for the emperor.

Wang Zhi was wearing the python robe given by the emperor today, and was riding a tall horse on a small hillside, while behind him was an iron horse from the northeast.

Although the number of troops in this expedition to the White Ancient Kingdom is only 10,000, they are actually the elites who have been transferred, and even the invincible Northeast Heavy Cavalry have been sent here.

Rumble......

Eight hundred war elephants, driven by the elephant soldiers, were rushing towards this direction, getting closer and closer to them.

Three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

……

Seeing the elephant herd getting closer and closer, even Wang Zhendong's son Wang Hu couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, even more shocking than seeing the Mongolian cavalry.

Although the Northeast Heavy Cavalry has been invincible over the years, they really don't have much chance of winning this time if they really want to face this 800 elephant cavalry.

Yemangan rode one of the few white ancient horses behind, and raised his spear with a hideous face and said, "Rush, trample all these Ming people into meat paste!" ”

Moo......

Eight hundred elephants, as if they could understand human speech, roared and charged at the Ming army, trying to use their huge bodies with thick skin and flesh to crush everything.

One hundred meters!

Ninety meters!

Eighty meters!

……

Although the mercenaries in front of them had already thrown themselves into disarray, and some had even fled, the main array of the Ming army remained motionless, facing the elephant herd shaking from the ground and the mountain.

"What are they going to do?"

"That'...... What is that? ”

"Oh no, shoot away, everyone!"

……

The elephant soldiers sat on the back of the elephant, so the front elephant soldier had a good view, and after observing the strange behavior of the Ming army in front, some of the elephant soldiers realized the danger and hid in the cover on the elephant's back.

"Ready!"

Wang ruthlessly stood at the front of the team, looking expressionless and holding high the flag in his hand.

The well-trained Ming soldiers behind him had already raised the flintlock pistol in his hand, the flintlock pistol flashed with a cold light, and each soldier was like a god of war cast of steel, standing tall and staring ahead.

Although the herd of 800 elephants was menacing, and when they raised their guns, they could feel the shaking of the earth, but their hearts were not affected in the slightest.

Countless drills, inhuman torture after inhuman torture, have long made them despise life and death. What's more, they now have sharp weapons in their hands, but they may not necessarily lose.

On the opposite side, Baigu's elephant herd is like a moving city wall, accompanied by the footsteps of the earth shaking the mountains, rolling towards the Ming army array, especially in front of the shield soldiers.

"Shoot!"

Wang ruthlessly saw that the elephant herd had entered his shooting range, and when he waved the flag in his hand, his eyes looked at the elephant cavalry rolling in fearlessly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With an order, the flintlock pistol fired a volley.

Suddenly, the flames rose into the sky, and the gunfire was deafening.

"Hide!"

The elephant soldiers' usual combat methods combined with their bows and arrows to cooperate with the war elephants, but after seeing the Ming army's flintlock pistols, they immediately retracted into the bunker, intending to use the bunker to block this strange hidden weapon.

Bullets rained down like a torrent of bullets, but the elephant cavalry clearly misjudged the situation.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Although many bullets hit the bunker, the bullets did not penetrate the iron-clad bunker, but many more bullets pierced the eyes of the herd with precision.

Moo!

The eyes of the elephant at the head burst open, blood splattered, the elephant wailed, and those invincible giant elephants struggled in pain under the gunfire of the Ming army, completely out of control.

Originally, the 800 war elephants were like a torrent of meat shields, but after the bullets of the Ming army burst the eyeballs of the war elephants in front, the war elephants in front stood uncontrollably in place or turned around and collided.

No matter how domesticated these war elephants are, the instinct of the animals is bestial, and at this moment, how can the war elephants obediently obey the instructions of their masters.

Yes......

The elephant cavalry, who was still lucky to be hiding in the bunker just now, only felt that he was suddenly in a stormy wave, and then his body rose into the air and was thrown out.

Bang!

The elephant cavalry fell heavily to the ground, and its whole body seemed to fall apart, but before they could call for help, they saw a huge black shadow descending from the sky.

Crunch......

An eight-ton war elephant was wounded and frenzied, and a thick leg stepped on the head of an elephant soldier thrown out of nowhere, and then headed for the royal city.

As the bullets continued, more and more war elephants fell into madness, and more and more elephant soldiers were thrown to the ground.

As the war elephants went violent, the elephant soldiers on the ground could not escape at all, and one by one the elephants could only watch the feet of the war elephants fall from the sky, and then completely lost all consciousness.

Moo!

The herd of war elephants has completely lost control, and the blind war elephants are eager to destroy the world, and even target the humans on their backs.

Some elephant soldiers tied themselves firmly to the back of the ivory with straw ropes, which was originally a clever practice, but under the rampage of the war elephants, many elephants were thrown to the ground and then dragged to death by their own war elephants.

The herd was thrown into confusion, and blood was pouring from the herd.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a war elephant appeared to be particularly heroic to break through the rain of bullets and medicines set up by the Ming army, and had already been killed from the chaos, and was holding a spear towards the Ming flintlock army.

Not good!

When he saw this anomaly, Lin Cheng's heart immediately raised his voice.

Burst!

It was an elephant rider, dressed in armor and holding a spear into an oncoming Japanese samurai, piercing the Japanese warrior's chest and strewling blood on the ground.

"Northeast Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world, kill!"

In the face of this anomaly, Wang Zhendong also took the initiative to ask Wang Zhi for help, and then led his Northeast Iron Cavalry to rush up.

He was originally behind the gate, and his father was only one step away from the earl. This time, he was ordered to come to the Indian Ocean for reinforcements, not only to promote the prestige of the Northeast Iron Cavalry, but also to show his demeanor as a royal general.

Now faced with this anomaly, he doesn't mind risking his life and cutting this person down directly.

"Look for death!"

It was the elephant cavalry who broke in, one of the leaders of this elephant cavalry army, and now when he saw the Daming iron cavalry surrounding, he snorted coldly with disdain, and then changed his bow and arrow to meet Wang Hu.

Numerous engagements have proven that their elephant cavalry is stronger than the cavalry, and can even reach an absolute crushing posture against the cavalry.

Shout!

Wang Hu knew that the eyes were the weak point of the war elephant, and he also knew the subtlety of shooting people and horses first.

"Don't think!"

The elephant rider will see through the opponent's attempt, and even stand up and shoot at Wang Hu first.

Shout!

Facing the threat of death, Wang Hu was also distracted, and although he hurriedly shot an arrow into the eyes of the war elephant, it was far from the eyes of the war elephant.

It can be seen that Burmese soldiers and war elephants are more like combat partners, cooperating with each other.

Syllable!

The elephant rider took a step ahead of Wang Hu to draw his bow and shoot arrows, and the arrows hit Wang Hu's body.

Fortunately, the armor on Wang Hu's body was thick enough, and after feeling the impact of the arrow, the arrow only left a mark on the armor.

Although the body is full of armor, the armor of the heavy cavalry has always been refined, which is also a factor that few dynasties can afford to raise heavy cavalry.

Burst!

An arrow came without warning, but before the smugness on the horseman's face dissipated, the arrow pierced through his neck, and his eyes fell unwillingly.

In terms of individual combat power alone, the strength of the elephant cavalry is stronger.

It's just that now the Ming heavy cavalry occupies an absolute numerical advantage, and the Ming heavy cavalry is not short of archers, just a war elephant will rush to death.

After losing the command of the war elephant general, the war elephant did not dare to continue to charge at the flintlock army, but its right eye was shot open.

Moo!

With a scream, the elephant threw the elephant to the ground and fled.

"Don't, don't turn around, don't let the war elephant turn around!"

Yemangan was fighting according to tradition, and was leading 20,000 infantry to follow behind the herd of war elephants, but when he saw the herd suddenly turn back, he immediately shouted in panic.

Everyone else knew how terrible it was for the war elephant herd to turn around, so the elephant soldiers in the rear also arranged the mood of the war elephants, trying to calm down the war elephant herd.

Bang!

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the hillside in front of me.

The swarthy barrel spewed tongues of fire, and eight shells rose into the air one after another, and then slammed into the herd.

A lead bullet weighing fifteen pounds rose into the air, as if it had eyes, and the lead bullet fell heavily into the herd and smashed on the head of a war elephant.

Bang!

The buckshot hit the ear of a war elephant, and the behemoth was not a wall of iron, but a splash of blood from the left side of the face, and then fell down with a heavy fall.

Moo......

War elephants are spiritual, and when they see their companions fall, the herd is immediately thrown into confusion and realizes that danger is getting closer to them.

Bang!

There was another loud bang, and the buckshot caught everyone's attention as it headed towards the unusual figure in the herd.

White elephants, this is not only a rare species, but also a belief of their Burmese people.

This time, the White Elephant appeared on the battlefield, hoping to boost morale through the White Elephant, trying to stimulate the White Ancient Army to annihilate the Ming army with very little battle damage.

Bang!

The lead bullet seemed to have long eyes, and the lead bullet went towards the white elephant's head, smashing the white elephant's head and bursting immediately, and blood splattered.

This attack was even stronger, and at least a wail could be made just now, but after being hit this time, the sacred white elephant fell silently.

The white elephant's skull was shattered, and a patch of blood overflowed from its mouth and ears, which was simply beyond the rescue of the gods.

"The icon was hit?"

"No...... The icon can't die! ”

"Something must have gone wrong, the icon is invincible!"

……

The White Ancient Kingdom is a country full of the light of faith, and everyone in the White Ancient Army has a belief, and the White Elephant has always been regarded as a holy object.

It's just that now they suddenly saw that the holy elephant they had always believed in fell on the battlefield, and they were killed by a single blow, and the whole person seemed to be drained.

The death of the white elephant has made them have no hope of victory.

"This ...... How can it be? ”

Yemangan, who was sitting on horseback, saw the white elephant fall with his own eyes, and couldn't believe his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"The elephants are crazy!"

"If we don't run away, we won't be able to escape!"

"Quick, the elephants are coming back to us!"

……

After the 20,000 white ancient soldiers saw that the elephant herd had been bombarded by artillery shells, they had already turned around and rushed back uncontrollably this time.

They had been hesitant to retreat, but as they made their decision, the elephants were rushing towards them faster than they had imagined.

"Kill!"

Lin Cheng did not miss this opportunity, and in turn borrowed the traditional tactics of Burma, using the elephant herd to break the enemy's battle formation for himself, and then followed the elephant herd to harvest his life.

The mercenaries, who had already fled far away, knew Wang Zhi's methods very well, and when they saw the sudden reversal of the tide of the battle, they also ran back one after another to harvest the lives of the Bai Gu soldiers.

Burst!

Burst!

Burst!

The slower-running white soldiers were trampled under the feet of the elephants, and even if these people narrowly escaped a war elephant, hundreds of elephants smashed them from behind, and soon became piles of meat and mud.

The reason why the elephant herd is regarded as a magic weapon by the Burmese is precisely the terrifying trampling ability of the elephant herd.

The screams kept coming out.

The army, which had just numbered 20,000 people, had been trampled by elephants and their own people, and the number of dead and wounded had exceeded 5,000. Although 15,000 troops still had the advantage, the army formation had already been crushed.

Kill!

Wang Hu led the Northeast Heavy Cavalry, and was acting as a vanguard to kill the fleeing Baigu soldiers.

In the battlefield in the north, their heavy cavalry can only serve as the main force, but now in the face of the two-legged white ancient soldiers, their mobility advantage is also shown.

The Northeast Heavy Cavalry had never fought such an easy battle, with heavy armor on his body, and a big long knife in his hand, and he rode a horse to easily chase and kill the two-legged white ancient soldiers.

The Bai Gu soldiers had already heard of it, and they were presenting a one-sided situation, and the 10,000 Ming army was frantically harvesting the remaining 15,000 Bai Gu infantry, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

Burst!

Yemangan knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, but he chose to kill himself.

The dwindling Baigu soldiers were terrified, and they wanted to dodge, but in this chaotic trampling, countless lives were easily harvested like ears of wheat.

The 20,000-strong army at the time of the expedition looked so vulnerable under the iron hooves of the Ming army at this moment, and after only half an hour, they were almost completely annihilated.

White Ancient City, Royal Palace.

A group of important ministers waited for news here, only to learn that the two infantry had almost been completely annihilated by the Ming army, and their eyes were round, and their faces were full of disbelief and despair.

"Amitabha!"

The White Ancient King Dharma Siti knew that he was powerless to return to the sky this time, so he first spurted out a mouthful of blood, then clasped his hands together, and then breathed on the throne.

Wang Zhi took advantage of the emptiness of the royal city, and personally led his troops to enter the royal city.

It's just that what the Ming Dynasty needs is the Indian Ocean Governor's Palace, and this royal city is still too far away from the port, so after supporting a six-year-old puppet White Gu Queen, he led his troops back to Motama Bay. (End of chapter)
