Chapter 146: Zhao Yu: Nine-Rank Grandmaster...... Well, you're talking about me?

After the Burmese army held out for nearly two hours, as the former army commander Li Miao was beheaded by Wu Song, the morale of the former sergeants plummeted, and finally they could no longer stop the counter-charge of the Chu army, and gradually collapsed.

Fortunately, Wu Jianning saw the opportunity quickly and issued an early order for the front army to retreat to the left and right flanks, but Rao was like this, and many soldiers were chased by the Chu army in a panic and fled in the direction of the Chinese army.

But they were greeted by a rain of arrows from their own army.

On the handsome platform, looking at the soldiers who fell in front of the battle, Wu Jianning's face did not change in the slightest, and he was still as cold as ever.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

This is the principle that every general should abide by.

"Let the war elephants go out!"

Looking at the Chu army, which launched a counter-charge and was less than 300 steps away from the Burmese army's military formation, Wu Jianning gave an order in a deep voice.

Under the wave of the flag, the position of the Burmese army changed in the middle of the battle, and as a famous soldier moved to the left and right under the command of the general, a road six feet wide was revealed in the middle of the battle formation.

"Aang!"

The roar of the elephant came from the rear of the military formation, and in the tremor of the earthquake, a huge war elephant appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers of the Chu army.

Whether it was the nearly 10,000 former troops led by Wu Song who rushed to the front, or Zhao Yu and Qu Zhen who were sitting in the Chinese army, they all gasped almost instinctively when they saw the behemoth that came out of the Burmese army.

This is the instinctive fear of human beings for giant beasts.

As the huge war elephants, which were as large as mountains and covered with heavy armor, and even the huge war elephants with armor reinforced with their long sharp tusks slowly walked out of the army formation under the command of the elephant slaves, the morale of the Burmese army reached its peak in an instant.

"It's a big problem......

On the handsome platform of the Chu Army, looking at the former sergeant who became hesitant, Qu Zhen couldn't help but say out loud.

Seeing Zhao Yu looking at him suspiciously, Qu Zhen explained in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the minister has been dealing with Burma for many years, and the spies have also found out some information about war elephants. There are two types of war elephants in Burma. One is an ordinary war elephant that has been domesticated and is about one zhang tall, with a total of two legions, about 1,000 or so, belonging to the elite arms of Burma. The other is the giant elephant in front of him that has been cultivated through secret methods, and the entire Burma country has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and only about 200 of them have been cultivated. Not only are these elephants thicker than ordinary war elephants, and the weapons of ordinary soldiers can barely break through their hard skins, but they are also greatly less afraid of the flame elephants, which can be said to be the strongest combat force in Burma, and can play a decisive role in the battle situation. This time, 30 of them were sent, and it seems that Myanmar is determined to win. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, somewhat understood.

If an ordinary war elephant is a tank on the battlefield, then this giant elephant belongs to the category of heavy tanks.

In addition to their heavy armor, these giant elephants also have a watchtower on their backs, and in addition to the elephant slaves who control the war elephants, there are two shield men, two pikemen, four crossbowmen and four archers, and even a small stone thrower, which can be called a small mobile fortress.

Just when Zhao Yu and Qu Zhen were discussing countermeasures, thirty giant elephants had already walked out of the military formation and lined up in front of the formation.

Although the number of war elephants is small, due to their large size and the fact that they are far enough away from each other, they have a positive and wide coverage.

From the perspective of the Chu army, these thirty or so giant elephants were like a moving city wall, crushing towards them with an unrivaled posture.

As the Chu army got closer and closer, the elephant slaves who were responsible for controlling the war elephants also began to command the war elephants to speed up.

In the smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, more than 30 giant elephants rushed towards the Chu army formation like tanks.

Feeling the vibration from the soles of his feet, and looking at the giant beasts that were getting closer and closer to him, the heartbeat of the former soldiers couldn't help but speed up a little.

A heart was nervous and almost jumped out of his chest, and the palm of the hand that clenched the sword was also full of sweat because of the fear in his heart.

At a distance of 300 meters, more than 30 giant elephants charged at the same time, and in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, it was a terrifying scene that they had never dreamed of.

Even though the officers and men of the Chu army won several battles in a row under the leadership of Zhao Yu, both their morale and courage have improved greatly, but they still can't contain the instinctive fear born from the bottom of their hearts.

"Guards, come with me!"

Seeing that the front army was frightened by the charging momentum of the war elephants, Wu Song was angry in his heart and shouted loudly.

Nearly a hundred guards followed Wu Song and rushed towards the behemoth in front of him without hesitation.

However, the first thing that greeted them was a rain of stones thrown by the stone thrower mounted on the elephant's back, followed by crossbows and bows and arrows.

Although Wu Song's personal guards were the elites he carefully selected, they were still a little unable to resist in the face of such a head-splitting attack, and in the end, only half of them followed Wu Song's footsteps and rushed to the giant elephant.

But what is even more desperate is that in the face of the giant elephant more than two feet high, even if they jump up, they can only hit the root of the giant elephant's thigh with the weapon in their hands, and they are still helpless against the Burmese army on the elephant's back.

Moreover, the heavy armor worn by the giant elephant and its thick skin also greatly weakened the lethality of the weapons in their hands.

Cutting down with all his strength can only inflict a slight injury to the giant elephant's leg that does not hurt or itch.

Faced with the attack of Wu Song and his guards, the elephant slave commanded the giant elephant to launch a counterattack.

Or trample your enemies with your hooves, slam them down with your long trunk, or stab them with your tusks.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of Wu Song's guards fell in a pool of blood.

When Wu Song saw this scene, he couldn't help but tear his eyes, and the martial arts true flames all over his body rose wildly, faintly turning into the image of a silent roaring tiger.

With the blessing of his own characteristics [Heaven and Man Descending to Earth], Wu Song temporarily reached the Pseudo-Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm.

Wu Song stepped on his feet suddenly, and the earthy yellow smoke and dust spread out in a circle around him.

The whole person borrowed his strength to rise, and instantly jumped to a height of about two zhang, and the green dragon and white tiger double knives in his hands threw out countless sharp knife qi, and slashed wildly towards the Burmese army on the back of the giant elephant.

The faces of the shield soldiers guarding on both sides of the elephant slave changed, and they each held a large iron shield in front of the elephant slave, and the giant elephant under the seat also shook its head violently under the call of the elephant slave, and the elephant trunk about one and a half feet long exploded in the air with a muffled thunderous sound, bringing a heavy afterimage towards Wu Song's back.

Feeling the terrible sound of the wind coming from behind him, Wu Song's face changed, and he didn't care about continuing to attack, and subconsciously backhanded the Qinglong and White Tiger double knives in his back.

In the next moment, an incomparable force was transmitted from the blade to Wu Song's body, even if Wu Song's muscles and bones were so strong, he couldn't help but open his mouth and spew out a stream of blood mist.

The whole person was smoked to the ground by the giant elephant's nose, splashing a large cloud of smoke and dust.

"General!"

Several nearby guards didn't care much, and hurriedly helped Wu Song up, turned around and ran in the direction of the Chu army's military formation.

"Ahem, this beast is so powerful...... If you let them rush into the formation, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Wu Song's face was like gold paper, and he spit out these words with difficulty.

The Chu army is in a large array.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, General Wu was seriously injured by that giant elephant!"

On the lookout, the lookout who was in charge of observing the battle situation shouted loudly to Zhao Yu and Qu Zhen.

Zhao Yu's eyes froze, and he was quite surprised.

From his qi induction, Fang Cai Wu Song had already reached the level of quasi-grandmaster, and he was still hit hard by the giant elephant?

It is no wonder that these fierce beasts are regarded as the weapons of the country by the Burmese state.

Qu Zhen, who got the news, became more and more serious.

But soon, he made a decision.

"Inform the front army and let them slowly retreat from both flanks!"

For now, the only way to stop these fierce beasts is to rely on a strict military formation and a large number of crossbow arrows!

After the front army counter-charged, the military formation became no longer tight, and it was easy to be scattered and overwhelmed by these giant elephants, and even in turn to attack their own military formation.

Hearing Qu Zhen's military order, Zhao Yu just glanced at him and didn't speak.

Now the commander of the army is not him, the son of heaven, but the veteran general beside him, unless there is a critical moment, he cannot damage the authority of the commander!

"Withdraw!"

Wu Song, who received the order of the Chinese general, said this word with difficulty from his mouth.

"Great Marshal, the front army of the Chu army has begun to retreat to the two wings! At the same time, General Lang also sent a banner, saying that the elephant herd had seriously injured the former general of the Chu army! ”

The standard-bearer reported to Wu Jianning.

"Well done!"

Wu Jianning looked overjoyed.

"Tell General Lang not to care about the retreating soldiers, let the elephant herd continue to attack the Chu army! There is no real Nine-Rank Grandmaster, Ben Shuai wants to see what the little emperor of Chu will use to stop the invincible giant elephant of my Great Burma! ”

On the battlefield.

The elephant herd, which had received the order, ignored the retreating Chu soldiers, and instead strode towards the Chu army.

However, in just a few breaths, the elephant herd was only more than 300 steps away from the Chinese army's formation.

"Put!"

Countless generals gave orders in unison.

In the next moment, tens of thousands of sharp arrows rose into the air, like meteors in the sky, shooting towards the elephant herd.

However, the result was a great disappointment for the soldiers of the Chu army, under the protection of heavy armor and thick skin, even if they used the best armor-piercing arrows, the damage to these giant elephants was only minimal.

The rain of arrows could not stop the charging of these giant elephants.

"Damn it!"

Looking at this scene, Qu Zhen's face was so ugly and ugly.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and said sadly:

"The minister can't stand Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to evacuate this place quickly......"

"Those giant elephants, non-Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm, can't be stopped at all. With the military formation, it can only be blocked for a while. The minister held on here, even if he died, to buy time for His Majesty to escape. ”

Looking at Qu Zhen with a desperate face, Zhao Yu was stunned, and Fang said in an uncertain tone:

"General Qu, do you mean the Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm?"

Qu Zhen nodded with difficulty.

"Yes, the Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm. As long as there is a Nine Rank Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, even if it is just one, he can block these ......"

In the end, he looked at the Martial Dao True Flame behind Zhao Yu that had almost condensed into substance, and he couldn't say any more words, so he stood in place dumbfounded.

"Nine-Rank Grandmaster...... Well, General Qu, are you talking about me? ”

Zhao Yu looked at Qu Zhen with a smile, and the martial arts behind him flashed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Qu Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't even finish his words.

In the past, when he heard the news from the Shenjing City that His Majesty was already a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm, he just sneered in his heart.

If Your Majesty is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he can reach the realm of a ninth-grade grandmaster, then wouldn't these veterans who are still cultivating at the eighth-rank level be ashamed of their shameless self-esteem?

His Majesty is only the son of a marquis, has he been cultivating since his mother's womb?

How is this possible?

Therefore, for this news, he just took it as a rumor and laughed it off.

However, when he witnessed it with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors he thought he had in the past were actually true!

It's true!!!

Cang Tianhe, sixteen or seventeen-year-old Nine-Rank Grandmaster, this is too crazy, isn't it......

At this moment, Zhao Yu's voice pulled his thoughts back.

"General Qu thinks that I personally led the elite cavalry to attack the elephant herd?"

Qu Zhen's eyes suddenly widened, his words were frightened, and he shook his head again and again:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is the body of ten thousand times, and the body of the country's military and civilians must not be lightly trapped!"

Let His Majesty lead the troops to charge into battle to stop the elephant herd of Burma, as a courtier, he would never dare to give such an order.

"I have said that in the army, the general is the commander, and I am just a pawn under the general, why not?"

Zhao Yu asked coldly.

Qu Zhen shook his head again.

"The minister would rather die than be in danger of His Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to evacuate quickly, and the ministers will fight to the death! ”

Boy!

When Zhao Yu heard this, he laughed angrily.

"Okay, since General Qu said so, then I will give you an order in the name of the Son of Heaven and let you order me to go out to meet the enemy!"

"The minister will not dare to obey this edict!"

Qu Zhen said with a stiff neck.

"Good, good!"

Being so angry by Qu Zhen's foolish loyalty that he even said a few "good" words, Zhao Yu turned to stare at Zhang Xiu, who was on standby not far away, and asked lightly:

"Youwei, do you dare to lead the Flying Bear Army to meet the enemy with me?"

"Minister, willing!"

Feeling Zhao Yu's gaze, Zhang Xiu's chest suddenly became arrogant, and he replied loudly.

"General Zhang!"

Qu Zhen looked at Zhang Xiu's eyes full of annoyance.

"General Qu, embroidery will die before Your Majesty! Please also ask General Qu to disperse the military formation, and he will lead the Flying Bear Army and His Majesty to meet the enemy! The elephant herd of the Burmese army is less than 200 steps away from the main formation, does General Qu not even believe His Majesty, and wants to watch the crushing defeat of our army and give this Annan Mansion to the Burmese people? ”

The three southwestern prefectures are the eternal pain in the hearts of the generals of the Chu army.

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words came out, Qu Zhen's heart was also aroused, and he said loudly:

"Ben would not have done such a thing even if he died! Okay, Zhang Youwei dares to rush into battle with His Majesty, why don't you dare? ”

After that, he bowed to Zhao Yu heavily.

"If Your Majesty does not give up, the criminal minister is willing to go with Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Qu Zhen deeply.

"Okay, I'll let you and I break the Burmese thieves together!"

"Knock knock!"

The rapid sound of drums accompanied by the sound of desolate trumpets sounded in the main formation of the Chu army.

Then, it was Lux who roared with all his might.

"Your Majesty is out of battle!"

Amid the sound of drums and horns, the soldiers of the Chu army's main formation retreated to both sides like a red tide, giving way to a wide road.

Zhao Yu leaned over the war horse, with a look of disdain on his face, taking the lead and killing from the formation.

A heavy but gorgeous red heavy armor, a white robe embroidered with dragon and phoenix double patterns fluttering in the wind, and the long red feather tassels on the golden dragon helmet are particularly eye-catching.

Zhang Xiu and Qu Zhen shot and stabbed Zhao Yu's wings, and behind the three of them were more than 3,000 flying bear troops wearing iron helmets, throwing spears on their backs, and silent.

The main general will take the lead in the killing, which is a very morale-boosting move.

At this time, Zhao Yu, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, personally led the troops to rush and kill, such a move was enough to make the 30,000 Chu soldiers behind him feel all the blood boiling.

"Your Majesty wins!"

"Your Majesty wins!"

For a time, the roar of "Your Majesty Wansheng" resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the morale of the Chu army once again climbed to the highest peak.

Zhao Yu galloped on his horse, feeling the sound of hunting, his heart was full of pride, he pulled out the Red Dragon Divine Sword, raised it high, and shouted:

"Soldiers, kill the enemy with me!"

"Kill!"

Whether it was Zhang Xiuqu Zhen or the Three Thousand Flying Bear Army, seeing Zhao Yu's actions, he only felt that the blood was boiling in his chest, shouting the slogan of killing the enemy, and followed Zhao Yu towards the elephant herd.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu, who was the leader, was less than a hundred steps away from the elephant herd.

"Give me, die!"

Zhao Yu's tongue fought the spring thunder, and his strong and domineering true qi kept surging like a rolling river and sea, and his murderous aura soared into the sky.

The Blazing Martial Arts True Flame wrapped him and the war horse under his crotch together, and turned into the image of a nine-headed divine bird behind Zhao Yu.

Jiufeng!

The face of the phoenix, which the Chu people worship the most, when it is angry.

Zhao Yu's right hand holding the knife shook, and the true qi poured into the red dragon knife like a mountain and a sea.

The blade of the Red Dragon Knife trembled suddenly, emitting a burst of humming sounds like joy, and an illusory Red Dragon couldn't help but swim and hover on the blade.

In the next moment, Zhao Yu slashed out towards the elephant herd.

A brilliant sword burst out of the sword, with a tyrannical murderous aura, and struck towards the giant elephant led by it.

Even if there was an elephant slave manipulation, the huge giant elephant could not dodge this knife at all, and was slashed by the knife.

At the same time, in the space of the giant elephant within a radius of three zhang, the vitality of heaven and earth was stimulated by the sword, turning into endless sword qi, breaking through the surface of the earth, penetrating the soil layer, from bottom to top, and blasting wildly towards the giant elephant and the Burmese army on its back.

The sword qi was endless, making people unable to see the scene clearly, and only a mournful elephant sound could be heard from the place where the sword qi was shrouded.

Oh!

After a few breaths, the sword qi dispersed into the air, leaving behind only a huge white skeleton.

The pile of blood-stained flesh and tattered nail leaves on the ground proved to people that this huge skeleton was the giant elephant that was more than two feet tall.

Rise!

Seeing the tragic death of their kind, the rest of the giant elephants slowed down and let out a frightened roar.

These beasts are about as intelligent as seven-year-olds, and they know what fear is.

Zhao Yulema stood in place, looked at the elephants, and raised his right hand holding the knife again.

Seeing this, those giant elephants suddenly screamed, even if the elephant slave on their backs urged repeatedly, they didn't dare to take half a step forward, and even some of them were timid, and quietly took a few steps back.

But for such a behemoth, even a slight movement would cause a huge movement, so almost everyone on both sides of the battlefield saw the scene of the giant elephant retreating.

Zhao Yu rode his horse further, and the elephant herd retreated in unison while making a threatening elephant chirp.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Seeing that Zhao Yu single-handedly frightened those fierce beasts to retreat one after another, the Chu army suddenly let out a cheer of mountains and tsunamis.

Xiong Xiong wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!

After eating, continue to code, there is a more 6000 words, it is estimated that it will be around the early hours of the morning......
