Chapter 190 Flanking Left and Right
"Elephant, it's an elephant!!"
"Don't quarrel! Whoever looks around anymore? Go chopping wood tomorrow, and there is no need to fight!!"
There were shouting sounds in the Hulin military formation. Why did this army, which has always been disciplined, have such a scene of people's hearts?
Shocked! The Hulin Army's spear quadron is about to collapse, but the reason is...
The enemy indeed dispatched the battle elephant!
Many soldiers have never seen an elephant. This kind of beast only exists in people's chats. The biggest animal that many people have seen is a cattle, or the "pig boss" that Huangzhou has selected every year. No one believes that it will be true.
Not to mention the long nose, limbs as thick as beams and pillars of the room, and the body as if it were a wall. Of course, two long ivory tusks have been seen by someone.
But now, it really appears in front of me!
When the pre-war mobilization was conducted yesterday, the generals mentioned that today they would likely meet the enemy elephants. Of course, the elephants on the battlefield were war elephants, and it is said that they rushed unstoppable.
One foot can kill a person. A long nose can roll up a person and throw it more than ten steps away, or throw it on an elephant trunk like a whip, which can cut off several people in the waist in one go!
There are also those long fangs that can stab several people at the same time with a sudden stab. The war elephant is wearing leather armor and even may even be wearing iron armor. The ordinary arrows and swords and spears cannot do anything.
So, as soon as the war elephant rushed up, almost no one could stop him, so I asked if you were afraid?
"Didn't it mean that the war elephant is afraid of loud noises and pain? Why is Zhou Changshi's troops ineffective in leading the attack?"
Don’t put Tian Zhengyue down the Qianlijing and talk to the generals around you. Commander Liu Boer touched his chin and said his judgment with uncertainty: “Can these beasts take drugs?”
"Uh, maybe..."
Several generals really couldn't figure out why the enemy's war elephants were so "abnormal", so they could only use the popular "drug use" in the army to explain, although they didn't know why the King of Xiyang liked to use this word to describe the abnormal behavior of some people.
Without having to worry too long, the sound of horns sounded in the Chen army's elephant formation, and the giants began to turn directions and came straight towards the Hulin Army formation.
"Come here, come here!"
Tian Zhengyue and others were extremely excited to see this. The opportunity to break the elephant formation was snatched away by Zhou Faming, but they did not expect it to fall into the hands of the Hulin Army. This time they attacked this time to do their job: waiting for the rabbit.
In other words, it is used as bait and has to withstand the left and right attacks of the enemy. Watching others make contributions, what is the result? A group of elephants come, all of which are military achievements!
Oh, it’s amazing to kill the war elephant. After you go back, you must brag with your relatives and friends for three days and three nights!
However, with an outsider like Cui Changshi, you can’t use a flame bottle to get a bad guy at the bottom of the box, you can only be hard!
"Zhanfeng!Zhanfeng is ready!!"
The shouts came one after another from the middle of the square formation. The soldiers of the Zhan Feng team who were resting on Hu's bed heard this and threw away the kettle in their hands, pulled off the big straw hat on their heads, took the deputy and handed it to the hood.
Long-handled axe, heavy-shaped spear, palladium, and slashing sabers are the most popular types of long soldiers that the soldiers of the War Strike Team use, as well as nail-headed hammers, short axes, T-shaped armor-breaking hoes and other armor-breaking short soldiers, all of which were taken up by the deputy soldiers to submit to the corresponding regular soldiers.
Mai Tiezhang looked at his partner's regular soldier with envy. Based on his conscience, he hoped that his comrades would be safe, but based on some selfish intentions, he hoped that his comrades would lose his combat effectiveness, so he could make up for the field.
The Zhanfeng team is the pioneer of the Hulin Army's formation breaking process. The casualty rate is extremely high, but the reward is also very high. Not to mention the treatment and pension, the chance of making meritorious contributions alone is much higher than that of others.
Many people joined the Hulin Army just to make contributions and be honored to protect their wives. Therefore, no matter how dangerous the Zhanfeng team is, the number of posts is very popular.
Mai Tiebang has made great contributions since the official army crossed Dayu Ridge, but he was not satisfied and was ready to make new contributions. But now the Hulin Army set up a formation to fight in a wilderness, so he has no chance to "appear" as a new recruit.
"Old Mai, don't worry, I won't give you a chance to play, hehe!"
After hearing what his partner said, Mai Tiebang laughed dryly, and a harsh creaking sound came from beside him. Turning his head, he saw that it was the crossbowman shaking the winch handle and wound the crossbow.
The iron crossbow is made of iron, and the strength required to be used to wind the string is imagined. Therefore, the winch winding provided by the crossbow body is the more common the power and range of the handheld crossbow.
Several rows of archers came out, and they set out about fifty steps forward. The archers were divided into four rows, setting a distance between them and setting a distance between them, inserting the long wooden sticks they held in their hands on the ground, then taking out the ignition sickle they carried with them, igniting the flammable thing wrapped on the top of the wooden stick.
This is the preparation for the archers before shooting rockets. Just as the Hulin Army had just finished the arrangement, the Chen army's battle elephant had approached from the west, and the Chen army, who was attacking the east camp, had also approached the east side of the Hulin Army's formation.
They were attacked from both sides and left and right, but the soldiers of the Hulin Army were not afraid, because the long spear formation that had been hard-working for many years was the greatest guarantee of their confidence, and their mission was to stab the enemy as a thorn.
Amid the roar, the war elephant that had approached eighty steps began to increase. The Hulin Army archers watched silently as they approached themselves, and ignited the arrows on the bow in an orderly manner.
At seventy steps, the first round of rockets was shot out, and the rockets shot out by four rows of archers in turn enveloped the marching battle elephants like rain of fire. Many battle elephants were caught in arrows, but the burning arrows did not panic the battle elephants.
The thick cowhide armor made the rockets that were infiltrated into it unable to burn quickly, but a little Mars and a wisp of blue smoke emerged. The Chen army's battle elephant continued to move forward, and its pace became significantly faster.
At a distance of fifty-five steps, the second round of rockets was shot out, but it still failed to panic. At the same time, the Chen army attacked on the east side had already advanced towards the Hulin Army formation. The Zhou army formation was silent, and the retreating cavalry did not intend to come for reinforcements.
At a distance of 40 steps, the third round of rockets were shot out. The Chen army's battle elephant on the west side began to panic, but the driver quickly controlled the mount, while the Chen army cavalry on the east side were ready to raid the Hulin military formation by cavalry.
At twenty-five steps, facing the battle elephant that was close at hand, the Hulin Army archers calmly shot out the fourth round of rockets. Some battle elephants had already begun to fire, and blood was also flowing from the arrows. The elephant group was a little restless, but they were suppressed by the drivers.
"shoot!!"
The archers of the Hulin Army no longer ignited the arrows, but instead shot two rounds of arrows. Just as the battle elephant was about to rush to the front, they ran backwards.
Where they stood, rows of pointed bamboos were exposed. As the rope was pulled, they suddenly stood up, just facing the battle elephant that was sprinting towards them.
The unstoppable elephant herd crashed into the bamboo formation without any warning. The harsh sound of bamboo breaking aroused countless whine.
The heavy body made the war elephant rush towards the bamboo pointing at it. Some of the bamboos directly pierced the cowhide armor and pierced into the head, mouth, and front scapula of the war elephant. Some bamboos failed to penetrate the armor, but successfully delayed the progress of the war elephant.
The retreating archers were like the tide of sea water, while many burly men went against the trend. They were the war vanguard of the Hulin Army, charging on foot towards the war elephant blocked by the bamboo formation. Following behind them were spearmen attacking as cover.
At a distance of thirty steps, some people threw heavy spears at the battle elephant. These well-crafted spears were the most reliable armor-breaking weapons of the Battle Front team before the outbreak. They could easily penetrate iron armor. No matter how thick the cowhide armor was, it was shaped like cloth in front of it.
With the squirting sound, huge war elephants on their bodies were pierced by spears. Each spear was deeply pierced into the elephant's body. Blood was like a spring in the wound. The effect of the anesthetic could no longer suppress the huge pain. The second round of spear throwing aggravated the pain of the war elephants.
Fear arises naturally.
"Battlehead! Break the formation!!!"
Amid howling, the soldiers of the Zhanfeng team held long soldiers and charged towards the giants trapped in the bamboo formation. They took the lead, waved their axes and halberds and slashed hard, breaking the elephant's trunk in front of them.
Blood splattered everywhere, and a shrill cry resounded over the battlefield.
On the east side of the Hulin Army's staggered squatted down in front of the lancers, revealing the crossbow soldiers behind them. They were divided into three rows, holding winch crossbows flat, and unanimously aimed at Chen Jun in front.
