The commander of the Eastern Army was the main team, and the commander of the Eastern Army, Yuchi Youqi couldn't help but sweat from his forehead as he looked at the war elephants appearing in the Western Army. During the military controversy before the war, he and the generals speculated about the tactics that the enemy might have adopted, but they never expected that the other party could make a war elephant.

The war elephant was huge, and it rushed up and hit and stepped on it. The flesh and blood body could not be stopped at all. Although Yuchi Youqi, who was located in the main formation of the central army, could not see the specific situation of the battle, the soldiers who attacked the main formation of the enemy would not have little casualties, and it was likely that they had suffered heavy casualties.

The opponent's war elephant can keep rushing, not only defeating one's assault team, but also directly attacking one's central army. Once the central army is shaken, even if it takes a lot of effort to solve the war elephant, the enemy infantry and cavalry that come will be unable to stop it.

Yuchi Youqi's original plan was to use cavalry to make a breakthrough in the center, but he didn't expect that the opponent would make a breakthrough in the center.

At this moment, Yuchi Youqi's head was blank. He thought he could deal with various variables on the battlefield. As a result, when the opponent threw himself into the battle elephant, he was helpless in an instant.

Are these war elephants fake? Impossible.

Yuchi Youqi calmed down a little. He knew that Yuwen Wen attacked the Lingbiao area of ​​Chenguo last year, quelled the Jiaozhou rebellion, and even attacked the Linyi Kingdom and the Dianchong, so these war elephants should have been brought from Lingbiao or Jiaozhou.

However, the land distance from Lingbiao Guangzhou to Shannan Huangzhou is more than a thousand miles away. The road is rugged and difficult to travel. How much manpower and material resources will be spent and how much time it takes to transport so many elephants to Shannan?

Not to mention bringing elephants from Shannan to Huaibei, such crazy actions are to use war elephants to fight?

You might as well get more horses!

Madman, madman!!

Yuchi Youqi cursed in his heart, but now calling Yuwen Wen a madman is useless. He knew that if he did not find a way to stop the enemy's war elephant's charge, the situation of the battle would be bad.

If it really doesn't work, Yuchi Youqi decided to use someone's life to fill it. At this moment, a general said happily: "Shangshu Ling, don't worry! The enemy is seeking death, and it's not far from defeat!"

"How do you say this?"

"Does Shangshu Ling remember how Ma Fubo, the Later Han Dynasty, defeated the Xiang army?"

"Ma Fubo?"

Yuchi Youqi recited these three words, and after a moment, his eyes lit up, and his tight brows unfolded in an instant: "So that's it!"

Ma Fubo, the general of Fubo in the Later Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan, who was in the allusion of "Ma Liang's corpse is returned to the body". In the early Later Han Dynasty, there was a side of the Zheng side of the Zheng Er sister rebelled. Ma Yuan led the Han army south to suppress the rebellion. It is said that he had fought with the rebels in war elephants.

The battle elephant has a huge body and a wooden house on its back. In addition to the driver, there are soldiers, who use arrows to fight from afar, spears and spears to fight in close combat. The battle elephant itself is quite impactful, and once it rushes into groups, it can be said to be invincible.

However, such a giant was afraid of fire. The Han army used fire arrows to shoot battle elephants, which instantly caused these battle elephants to panic. They fled in scattered and directly chased their own military formations.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song army attacked Linyi Kingdom. The Linyi army was good at using war elephants. Song general Zong Que ordered people to be fake lions. When the two armies faced each other and Linyi was charged, the Song army's fake lions came on the field and scared the war elephants and fled everywhere.

Therefore, the war elephant just looks fierce, but in fact he is very brave and afraid of fire, and even fears huge sounds. He is as timid as a mouse.

Now, Yuwen Wen's side has been involved in the battle elephant, and it is too late to rush to make fake lions, but it is very convenient to shoot with fire arrows!

"You're right, fire! fire! fire!"

Yuchi Youqi was so excited that he said three words of "fire" in a row, and immediately ordered the mobilization of archers to move forward and set rockets at the approaching battle elephant, and the cavalry that were originally preparing to attack the enemy's own formation retreated.

When the war elephant was frightened by the fire arrow and panicked and frantically ran back, the cavalry only needed to follow behind and cover and kill, and they could easily defeat the enemy!

The generals took the order and left, Yuchi Youqi was still very excited. Looking at the enemy's formation ahead, he really hoped to see Yuwen Wen's panic look when the war elephant flew back.

Seeing that his troops were mobilized, Yuchi Youqi smiled slightly: "Do you think you can win by using the battle elephant? That is to destroy yourself!!"

......

Amid the heavy footsteps, the earth seemed to be trembling. The war elephants that had already gathered were advancing like a wall, trampling on all the things blocking the road in front of them, and all kinds of corpses were trampled into flesh mud by them. The Eastern Infantry, who had tenaciously resisted, could not stop these huge creatures, and the spear formations that had temporarily assembled were defeated one by one.

Each battle elephant's legs are covered with bright red blood, which looks shocking. The battle elephant is covered with armor, and is protected by armor on its head and chest. The Eastern Army soldiers can't beat it in a head-on battle. In addition to twitching like a whip, the battle elephant's nose can also roll people.

Unlucky Eastern Army soldiers were rolled up by the war elephant with their noses, and were raised into the air by them in screaming. Then the elephant's trunk was swung downwards, and the soldiers smashed to the ground and died on the spot. Such a terrifying scene scared the soldiers around them as white as paper.

How much does it cost to fight against such a giant beast to kill one?

Not to mention that there were archers constantly firing arrows on the elephant's back building. The soldiers of the East Army braved their arrows and tried their best to approach the battle elephant to chop the elephant's legs, but were stabbed by the soldiers on the small building with a spear. Even if they sacrificed their lives and cut the elephant's legs several times, it was completely useless.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army who broke into the Central Army of the Western Army could not withstand the impact of the opponent's war elephants and soon collapsed. The front gradually returned to its original starting point, and a large number of archers advanced towards the defeated soldiers.

Seeing the enemy's war elephants approaching, the Eastern Army archers inserted the torch in their hands on the ground, then bent their bows and put them on the rockets, ignited the flammable objects tied to the arrows, and shot towards the giants. At the same time, a knife, shield and hand protected the throwing hand and came out.

The fire arrow fell on the war elephant like a fireflies flying all over the sky, and the thrower ventured to approach the charge of the war elephant, ignited the few remaining thunders and threw them out. At the same time, a large number of soldiers beat gongs and drums behind the archers, causing huge movements.

Fires flashed in the elephant group, and explosions came one after another. A war elephant was injured by the blow, unable to bear the huge weight. The war elephant fell to the ground with a whine, and another war elephant was blown off its nose, and blood flowed.

Many war elephants were wearing fire arrows, and flames were lit to embellish them all with light. A large amount of blue smoke appeared on the fire arrows, making the war elephants look like lit incense burners.

The archers kept shooting out fire arrows, and the charge of battle elephants was shrouded in the firelight. The throwing hands that ventured closer looked at these giants with anticipation, waiting for the other party to turn around and run wildly.

"Ao!!!"

The war elephant roared and continued to rush forward, stepping on the East Army soldiers who could not dodge under their feet. Blood splattered in the screams. The war elephants, covered in bruises, moved faster and kept the direction unchanged.
