Chapter 608: This is the army of the Tang Dynasty!
The war elephant under their crotch was also shot directly through the abdomen by a huge crossbow arrow, rushed directly to the side, and then fell to the ground.
The reduced tension brought by the pulley set allows two strong soldiers to easily force the string, which allows them to have a speed that is no less than that of a bow and arrow in a short period of time, can you imagine the power of a medium-sized, large-powered bed crossbow that fires an arrow at the speed of an ordinary recurve bow?!
A terrifying crossbow is like a modern anti-materiel sniper rifle hitting a human body!
A series of terrifying crossbow arrows have carved out wrist-thick holes in these elephants, and the remaining distance of less than 200 meters is like a death trench! Except for a small number of elephants who were frightened and turned around and ran to the rear, killing many Linyi soldiers who followed behind, the other elephants fell directly here.
And an unlucky Linyi soldier was directly shot in the neck by the main crossbow arrow of the bed crossbow, and the huge impact and the damage caused by the cavity effect caused his neck to be directly shot by the crossbow arrow!
Some of the soldiers who were shot between the chest and abdomen were slightly more lucky, and the triangular armor-piercing steel arrows pierced his body directly under the huge impact of the crossbow arrows, leaving only a fist-sized hole in his body, so that he would not die immediately, and there was still time for the organs in his brain union to leave the last signal to the world.
And those soldiers with wooden shields in their hands, the shields in their hands also could not provide them with any protection, not only that, after shooting through the wooden shields, the huge impact of the crossbow arrows made the shields explode and the wooden thorns directly disguised them into hedgehogs.
1,000 war elephants, 2,000 elephants, and 2,000 infantry accompanying the attack, completely collapsed after four rounds of arrows from 200 bed crossbows.
The bright red blood stained the earth brown, and the rich smell of blood and the last wails of the tenacious elephant irritated everyone's nerves.
"Blow the trumpet!" Liu Yilong glanced at the thousand archers behind him, it seemed that they had no chance to play, the killing range of the arrows was within a hundred meters, and the enemy had no chance to rush into the range of a hundred meters before collapsing, you must know that the arrows on these archers were also iron triangular armor-piercing arrows.
The rousing trumpet sound of "Toot Toot ......" resounded throughout the battlefield.
The soldiers in the front row directly threw away their shields, stood up with their spears and let out a roar: "Kill!" ”
The shouts of killing rushed into the sky with the silver wave in armor.
"Vote! Surrender! Surrender! Fan Yanzhi near Xianglin City was stunned, he was far away from the battlefield here, he didn't know what was happening, but he could only see from a distance, Lin Yiguo didn't know how many years to accumulate before the thousand elephant soldiers fell like cutting rice, and the rest of the elephants went crazy and rushed to their own people's camp in reverse.
And the infantry that followed behind had already fled!
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Fan Yanzhi had no other thoughts in his mind at the moment, he only knew that he could still live if he surrendered! Because he knew that Jieli Khan, who had invaded the Tang Dynasty several times, and even hit near Chang'an, was not killed by the Tang Emperor, and he was crowned king.
As long as he surrenders, he will still live!
Liu Yilong was disappointed, because he didn't have time to cut a person, and they all surrendered. When they blew the trumpet of the charge and rushed down, the soldiers of Lin Yiguo did not have any desire to fight at all, they either ran and fled, or when they caught up, they directly threw away their weapons without saying a word, knelt down and surrendered.
They are a division of the people, and these soldiers are also from the people, so His Royal Highness said that the Tang army does not slaughter prisoners.
As long as he surrenders, he will not be killed.
So Liu Yilong didn't kill anyone, not only that, but when they rushed in front of the enemy army, the king of Linyi was already kneeling there and surrendering, and the soldiers around him threw their weapons to the ground, and none of them resisted.
……
Shi Lang stood on the watchtower and watched this war dumbfounded and enthusiastic, is this their Tang army?!
That's too strong, isn't it? 1,000 war elephants, 2,000 elephant soldiers, and 2,000 infantry didn't even see the battle formation of the Tang Dynasty! It just collapsed! And then the counter-charge of the Tang army made these soldiers kneel on the ground.
Looking at the combat effectiveness of those Tang troops, Shi Lang was a little lucky, if they were attacking the city where these soldiers were stationed, not to mention that the other party had more people than them, that is, the other party only had one or two hundred people, and it was estimated that their more than 1,500 people would not be able to attack it at all.
"Quick! Raise the flag! Seeing that the soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom below had surrendered, Shi Lang immediately ordered the people around him to speak.
"Yes!" A soldier next to Shi Lang immediately rushed to a flagpole they had prepared next to him, and raised the Datang National Flag that had been prepared long ago.
Li Ke quickly saw their movements, although they were far away, the national flag of Datang was still quite conspicuous.
Seeing this scene, Li Ke shook his head, these rebels are quite smart.
"Let's go, let's go meet Fan Yanzhi." Li Ke got up from the chair he was sitting on.
"Your Highness, why don't you wait a minute, the corpses below haven't been cleaned up." Huo Gang hesitated.
"Let's go, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dare to kill the enemy, as the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, don't I even dare to look at the corpse of an enemy?" Li Ke said with a smile on his face.
Li Ke traversed the entire battlefield, and by the time he reached the front line of the battlefield, there was no one moving here, only a few elephants that were in a near-death situation were still making faint wailing sounds from their mouths.
Li Ke looked at it silently, Huo Gang and the others were just quietly accompanying them, and no one disturbed His Highness, until the elephant's eyes slowly closed and stopped breathing, and the blood flowing out of its body had completely stained the surrounding ground red, and some of the blood even formed blood.
The thick hole on its body was made by the murder weapon produced by Li Ke, Huo Gang secretly glanced at His Highness, he didn't know what His Highness was thinking, at least he couldn't see any emotion from His Highness's face.
Li Ke's feet stepped over one corpse after another, or passed by these corpses, he had traveled through the Tang Dynasty for ten years, and the dead had seen it, but it was the first time he faced a real battlefield, and it was not a large-scale battlefield.
A strong smell of blood filled the nostrils, and some crossbow arrows pierced several people and finally pierced a soldier's body, and the entire shaft of the arrow was covered with flesh, and even some minced flesh was still hanging on the shaft of some cracked arrows.
Li Ke just crossed the entire battlefield and walked in front of Fan Yanzhi, who was kneeling there.
