Chapter 413 The Siege Begins

Elephants are smart animals. They also realize the danger ahead and do not need to be tied up. Some of them turned around and ran before they stepped on the caltrops. This time, the Linyi army was in great danger. Facing the elephants, cavalry, chariots and infantry, they all rushed by like destruction, and countless people were trampled to death!

However, there were still about a dozen elephants crazy and continued to run forward, so Wei Feng shouted: "Let it go!"

The divine arm crossbow and the crossbow-arrow crossbow cannon fire at the same time. The eight-inch iron arrow can only kill horses and people, and generally will not cause fatal damage to the elephant, because the elephant's skin is thick and four to eight centimeters thick. However, the crossbow-arrow crossbow fires a three-foot giant arrow, which is powerful and has more than enough to kill. Elephants often only need to hit three or five, and they will immediately die on the spot!

It was a terrible sight in front of the formation. Elephants were piled up in a dense pile of flesh. But the elephant had sufficient blood, which not only made the ground flow into a small blood lake, but also dyed the elephant itself red. There were countless bloody corpses mixed in it. Julia had not killed anyone, but on the contrary, there were many people who died at her hands, but at this time, she couldn't control her chest and abdomen churned!

"Madam Julia, hurry up and follow me to chase me for a while!" Julia was still fighting against the vomiting desire, and Wei Feng turned around and greeted.

"Oh!" Julia came to her senses and stepped onto the pedal and flew up.

"Wuwuwu~~" The trumpet of pursuit sounded, and five thousand cavalry bypassed the caltrop formation and rushed towards the defeated Linyi people!

......

Fansuda dispatched a Jemu's elephant army to attack Weifeng's beachfront, but almost all the troops were wiped out. None of the 729 elephants came back, not to mention the injured. Because they lost their ability to walk, they could only die in pain. Some of them were not injured, but were shocked. The elephant hand could not control it at all!

Among all riding animals, except for mules, donkeys and other animals with no military value, only horses will not experience excessive ups and downs on their backs no matter how they run. The elephant is obviously not in this line. The maximum speed of its running can reach forty kilometers per hour. Running at such a speed, the huge bumps will knock down the elephant saddle and the soldiers on their backs in a short time. If you are lucky, you will be dizzy and have bad luck, and you will step on the spot into a pool of meat paste!

After being frightened, all the elephants fled to the mountains behind Linyi. There were about 200 elephants, and Wei Feng did not chase them. While chasing the defeated army, he also tried his best to gather the horses. Although the horses of the Linyi people were all southern ponies, with sufficient endurance and weak sprinting power, it would definitely not work to compete with the Huqi on the grassland, but they could pull carts and drag goods, which was not completely useless.

After being chased by cavalry, there were less than a thousand people in Linyi who were able to return to the city alive. More than 90% of them were killed in 10,935 people, and half of them were trampled to death by elephants!

The city became a slaughterhouse, and there was no sound on the city like silence. The people of Linyi never expected that the elephant soldiers they were proud of would be so vulnerable. Nearly 10,000 soldiers went to meet the great god Shiva in just one meeting. You know, this is 20% of the elite soldiers in the city, including the general Fan Jian!

"Kake!" Fan Suda's eldest son Fan Dizhen actually trembled, making him look extremely harsh. This sound also made Fan Suda come to his senses.

Fan Suda said angrily: "Baoshi. So what if you lose? Look at your bear, it's not embarrassing enough. Straighten your waist and back!"

Fan Dizhen shivered and forced his back straight. Fan Xuda glanced coldly and said, "This time the Jin people launched an attack, they must come to destroy our Linyi. But we have a city, how can we easily break the city made of mountains and rocks? He came from afar, and the food was difficult to support the difficulties. If we can't capture it for a long time, we will retreat. Then we can take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Then again, even if the city was unfortunately destroyed, we still have streets and alleys in Linyi, and there are still about 200,000 people in the city. As long as I, Linyi, are not dead, I will fight with him to the end!"

"Bloody battle to the end! Bloody battle to the end!" The defenders immediately increased their confidence, and they waved their weapons and shouted hard. The fear in their hearts also dissipated. Fan Suda nodded with satisfaction and walked down the city.

Outside the city, after killing the Linyi defeated army, the cavalry quickly gathered their guards. A large number of sailors rushed to the battlefield before. On the one hand, they killed the dead elephant and gave it a pleasure. But ivory is a good thing and must be cut off. On the other hand, they cleaned up the corpse, and at the same time they had to check whether there were gold and silver jewelry on the corpse, and then they threw it into the sea to feed the fish.

Wei Feng ordered Xian Enzhuo, who had just got off the boat, to take 10,000 Li people to the rear of Linyi and go down the village according to the mountain to prevent Linyi people from escaping to the mountainous areas. No one is more suitable for this task than Li people. Wei Feng's village is located on the south side of Linyi. The east side is the sea, and there is no need to go down the village. The north side is temporarily vacant. This location is left for Deng Yi. If the Linyi people take advantage of the gap, it would be a good thing.

The Qingshi work on the battlefield was extremely busy, and Julia's pretty face also had a hint of excitement. She had killed several people with her own hands before. The cavalry's wind-like speed and the spear tip pierced into the enemy and then provoked the heart to the distance. The cavalry's killing was even more exciting than her former killing of jumping gangs on the sea. She became more and more convinced that she was a competent Roman female general.

Julia suppressed her excitement and turned her head to praise, "Empression, I didn't expect that the elephant soldiers would be destroyed by you. More than four hundred years ago, Legurus of our Rome led the Roman warriors to expedition to Carthage. The Carthaginians fought with infantry and cavalry and war elephants. This was the first time that we Romans suffered. Most of the soldiers were trampled to death or killed by cavalry. Legurus and five thousand soldiers were captured, and only less than two thousand were able to escape. If we could think of throwing caltrops with crossbows at that time, Legurus would have conquered Carthage in the past."

Wei Feng smiled slightly and said, "Elephant soldiers are the lowest-priced-performance troops. In my opinion, except for fear of people with fast heads, they are useless. They can only deal with dense infantry phalanxes, which happens to be the nemesis of your Romans. But if you use cavalry to fight elephant soldiers, as long as you have sufficient patience, it will be enough to grind them to death."

"Oh!" Julia nodded in a vague way.

Wei Feng waved and said, "Let's go, we'll go back to the camp now. In a few days, we'll come to attack the city again. This time you can rest assured that the people of Linyi will never surrender without fighting. It will inevitably be a fierce siege."
