Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Don't be a pity, war elephants are actually quite easy to train, but Nanyang people don't know how to summarize." Li Zhen comforted: "When the war is over, the whole Nanyang will be ours. We can train as much as we want. Anyway, elephants The cost of feeding them is not high, and you can’t starve to death in this area of ​​Nanyang.”

Just when Fang Yiai was about to say something, Xi Junmai, who had been observing the enemy's situation but did not join the discussion, suddenly reminded repeatedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the other party has entered our trap."

"Let me see." Fang Yiai quickly shut up, picked up the binoculars and looked towards the opposite side: "This Chenla man is really a thief, he even sent someone to scout the way ahead."

"Fortunately, Your Highness, you have been prepared, otherwise you might really find out something for them." Xue Rengui also said happily. Originally, according to his meaning, it would be fine after setting up the trap, but Li Zhen suggested adding an extra layer of protection. Now It seems that it is fortunate to have such a heavy guarantee, otherwise, if the other party is allowed to explore the way ahead, it may be possible for them to see something.

"Your Highness, do you want to release the safety now?" Du He grabbed a rope in front of him and asked a little excitedly.

Xue Rengui quickly stopped him: "Don't worry, wait until all the enemies have entered the trap."

Li Zhen was also a little excited: "Brothers, what follows will be a classic ambush battle, and it will also be an absolute victory for hot weapons against cold weapons. Are you ready?"

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Fang Yiai said excitedly, almost yelling, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time.

"I've been depressed for so many days, but it's suffocating me to death. I must kill a few people to have a good time." Xi Junmai also said a little out of control. The temperament of living, being suffocated by Li Zhen for so many days in the barracks, can be regarded as suffocated, and now I can finally vent it.

"We are all ready." Xue Rengui and Du He also suppressed their excitement and responded calmly.

"Are the brothers all in place?" Li Zhen asked again.

"A message has been sent just now, and everyone is already in position." Duan Rui said on the side: "All the artillery has been pulled to the prescribed position, so don't even think about running away from the 40 troops."

"Very good...everyone, get ready. Once the elephant cavalry enters the trap, unplug all the insurance, and let these six thousand war elephants go to hell." Li Zhen waved his hands excitedly, and he was also a little excited. Although he has also commanded several wars, most of them were small-scale battles. The only large-scale war was the war between Tang and Turks more than ten years ago, but Li Zhen was only a small-scale war in that war. The supervising army has no actual command right at all. As for the later battle between Xue Yantuo and Huihe, he used more tactics to make the two tribes fight with snipe and clam. What he did was just a profitable fisherman.

Therefore, it is the first time that he has commanded such a huge war, and he is still facing the 40 army in Chenla with [-] people. It would be false to say that he is not nervous.Fortunately, Xue Rengui and others were there to assist Li Zhen, which gave Li Zhen a little confidence. After a long period of planning, today is finally the time to verify the results. He is excited and nervous now.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." The rope in Du He's hand tightened even more, but he still followed Li Zhen's order and conveyed the original words without changing a word.

The atmosphere became more and more solemn, so that even the sensitive elephants became restless and hesitated to move forward, and some of them became irritable and irritable, and even started to attack the surrounding companions.As the leader of the elephant herd, the head elephant reacted particularly fiercely. Faced with the rider's constant urging, he stretched out his nose and rolled the rider off his back, and slammed him to the ground, killing him alive.

In the final analysis, these elephants are not qualified elephant soldiers. Although after Confucian training, the elephants are no longer afraid in the face of fright, but a qualified elephant soldier is not only not afraid of noise, it must at least be able to Understand some simple commands.It's a pity that the Confucianists didn't think of this at all, and Bafavalman was also crazy after seeing so many elephant soldiers. He just tested it briefly and found that the elephants were really no longer afraid of loud noises, so he hurriedly The elephant soldiers were sent to the army, how could they know that these elephant soldiers are just semi-finished products to deceive people?

However, Xiang Bing's performance at this time undoubtedly saved their lives, but it also brought Li Zhen a lot of trouble.

"Your Highness, what should we do? The elephant seems to want to retreat?" Fang Yiai held up the binoculars and asked anxiously: "How about we find a way to lure the elephant over?"

"It's too late." Seeing that the head elephant had turned its head, Li Zhen knew that if he didn't do anything, the elephants would really get out of the trap, so he grabbed the rope in front of him decisively, stood up and shouted: " Everyone, follow my orders and pull the rope."

The rope in his hand was pulled back violently, only a "boom" was heard, and a ball of flames with mud exploded on the ground ten feet in front of the elephant group. Unfortunately, although the explosion sound was loud, there was no sound. Any killing or damage caused by the target group only shocked the elephant group, and they retreated in panic.

But Li Zhen was not disappointed. Although not all the elephants reached the trap circle, some of them entered the trap. As the young soldiers in ambush continued to pull the ropes, clusters of orange flames exploded on the elephants. Surroundings, especially inside the elephant herd, with every explosion, many elephants were killed and injured... This also made the elephant herd even more terrified, and retreated even more frantically. What did you step on?

Chapter 514

Chapter 287 The Elephant Charges

With this wave of charges, the [-] elites who accompanied the elephants to assist in the battle were in great trouble. Many of them didn't even have the time to react, and were trampled into a pulp by the rushing elephants.

The charging elephant herd is terrifying, especially the frightened elephant herd. They were rushed out of a huge gap, and those who survived by chance could only stare dumbfounded at five or six thousand elephants rushing towards the Taniguchi on a fast ride.

And what caused all this is landmines, a weapon that Li Zhen knew the principle long ago but didn't manufacture—if the power of cannons is more of a deterrent in this era, then landmines are really the most cost-effective weapons Yes, it is also a conventional weapon like a grenade.

The structure of the landmine is simpler than that of the grenade, and its effect is not worse than that of the grenade. Whether it is an infantry or a cavalry, as long as they step on a landmine, at least one leg will be reimbursed. The grenade is far from achieving such a lethal effect.

But it is precisely because it is too easy to imitate, so Li Zhen has never made it. This time it is not a regular landmine, but a part of the explosives that Xue Rengui took out to show the enemy a few days ago. It is also an ordinary jar, and even a part of it is directly modified with shells or grenades.As for regular landmine production, at least we have to wait until after the aristocratic family is wiped out.

Closer to home, the explosion is over at this time, Li Zhen was the first to kill with people, the less than 3 people in front of him is not his goal, Li Zhen's real purpose is to follow the elephant herd to completely destroy the Chenla army Chaos, let them collapse without a fight.

"Kill." Those who can be transferred to cooperate with the elephant herd to fight are naturally the elite among the elite, but it is a pity that these elites were first shocked by the explosion at this time, and then they were shocked by the elephant herd. Facing Li Zhen's [-]-year-old army, they couldn't organize an effective counterattack, so they were completely overwhelmed. Those who lost their armor and armor followed the direction of the elephants and fled, or simply knelt down and begged for surrender.

But how could Li Zhen have the time to take care of them at this time?As long as they meet those who surrender, they will go straight down with a knife, forcing the Zhenla people to continue to flee forward-and this is exactly what Li Zhen wants. The power of the elephant soldiers is indeed powerful, but this group of elephants obviously Already frightened, facing the Chenla army blocking the road, it will only cause a one-time kill. After rushing out of the crowd, it will disappear and leave. At most it will only cause chaos to the Chenla army, but I want to make them collapse Not yet possible.

At this time, the strength of this group of rout soldiers is needed. The rout soldiers are not as talkative as elephants. Once they rush into the army formation, the chaos they will cause will be unimaginable, especially after they have just been ravaged by elephant soldiers These defeated troops will be like the last straw, which can completely crush Chenla's army, and Li Zhen's fanning the flames next to him will definitely cause Chenla's great defeat.

Things were indeed as Li Zhen thought. At this time, the Chenla army was slowly dispersing, and it was the time when chaos was most feared. Otherwise, Li Zhen's surprise attack last time would not have caused the death of thousands of people.

Because of the lessons learned from last time, Chenla is extra careful this time, but sometimes some things are not enough to be cautious. In the face of absolute power, no matter how careful you are, it will eventually be useless... …

The exit of the canyon was still the place that was attacked by Li Zhen. This place was facing the entrance of the canyon, and the defense was particularly tight.

"Hey, did you hear anything?" A soldier who was guarding the mouth of the canyon suddenly moved his ears, as if he heard something, and quickly asked his companions next to him.

"So you heard it too. I thought I heard it wrong." The companion scratched his head and said doubtfully, "It's a bit like the roar of an elephant."

"When you said that, I also remembered. This is the voice of an elephant." The third companion who had been listening to the two of them clapped his hands and interrupted: "My family has raised elephants, and the voice of elephants is like this. Yes. Do you think our elephant soldiers and Tang soldiers have already done it?"

The first person hesitated and said: "It shouldn't be, this canyon is tens of miles long, and the elephant's speed is so fast?"

"No, why is this sound getting closer and closer?" The team leader of several people also suddenly interjected, felt the stone wall around him with his hand, and even felt a slight vibration, and his complexion suddenly changed: "Not good , The elephants are frightened, they are not fighting the Tang army, they are running back... Everyone get out of here, the elephants rushing is not easy to provoke, I will report to the general."

In fact, there is no need for him to report. At this time, the elephant's voice has become louder and louder. Everyone near the canyon has heard the scream of the elephant galloping. Some people who don't know are still in the dark. I don't know why the elephants ran back, but some of the people who had seen the elephants go crazy suddenly changed their expressions, dropped their work, and hurriedly hid everywhere... However, it was too late.

While speaking, the elephant had already rushed out of the canyon, and this was the critical moment when the Chenla army separated from the main and the secondary, and it was also the most chaotic time. Coupled with the chaos unintentionally caused by the people startled by the elephant's sound, Chenla The camp was even more chaotic.

Faced with such a chaotic situation, even if the leading generals are capable, there is nothing they can do. They can only watch five or six thousand crazy elephants rushing into the crowd in a frenzied manner, setting off a bloody storm and closing their doors in despair. Eye.

"What's going on outside? Why is there such a big movement all of a sudden?" At this time, in the tent of the Chinese army, Baffarvarman is holding a banquet-in his eyes, Li Zhen is already a turtle in the urn, as long as he has [-] elephant cavalry After rushing in, Li Zhen, without the support of artillery, was no match for the elephant soldiers at all. He could only let the elephant soldiers slaughter him. He only needed to be responsible for the finishing touches at the last moment and clean up the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, he can send troops out of Tonglu City and set the battlefield in Linyi.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that no matter the victory or failure of this battle, this war will not affect the people of Chenla—although if you fail, the fate of the people of Chenla may not be better, but... What if I win... What if...

No matter what happens in the future, Bafavalman firmly believes that Li Zhen will lose this time. Facing [-] elite soldiers and [-] elephant soldiers, with Li Zhen's remnants of less than [-] soldiers defeated, Bafaval Mann didn't think he had the possibility of losing.

Chapter 515 Luo Tianyuan's Disdain

Chapter 288 Luo Tianyuan's Disdain

It is for this reason that Bafavalman decided to celebrate in advance after Zhu Yunrang's suggestion—besides, when Li Zhen is defeated, no matter how Li Zhen lives or dies, he will eventually face Datang's crazy revenge. There are not many opportunities to hold a banquet again, so I simply take advantage of this opportunity to have a good time.

However, when the atmosphere of the banquet was peaceful, the wine and meat were in full swing, and the singing and dancing were in full swing, a burst of noise from outside came into Bafarvalman's ears, and Bafavalman, whose interest had been greatly cut off, couldn't help asking displeasedly.

"My lord, it's not good." A guard rushed in anxiously: "I don't know what happened, the elephant soldiers we sent out suddenly went crazy, turned around and rushed towards our army camp... Our army suffered heavy casualties, and the scene It's horrible... the herd of elephants is already rushing in this direction, my lord, you'd better dodge as quickly as possible."

"What?" Baffavarman naturally knows how terrible the power of a herd of elephants going mad is. Facing a herd of elephants charging up, unless you have weapons of mass destruction, otherwise you can rely on manpower alone, no matter how many people you have. At most, it can only add a pile of meat paste.

At this time, his barracks was at its most chaotic, and he was simply unable to organize an effective counterattack in the face of the crowd's attack. He didn't need to look at the tragic situation in the barracks. awful.

"Luo! God! Yuan! This king needs an explanation." Bafavalman clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, suppressing the boundless anger in his heart, and razed his eyes to Luo Tianyuan.

Seeing the murderous intent in Bafavalman's eyes that had almost condensed into substance, Luo Tianyuan couldn't help but shudder, and was even more curious about why the elephant herd went crazy.But after all, he is a true Confucianist, and he still has the cultivation he should have.

Facing Bafavalman's aggressive killing intent, he pretended to be calm and poured himself a glass of wine. Luo Tianyuan smiled: "What does the king mean by this? What does this have to do with us?"

"Luo Tianyuan!" Bafavalman didn't expect that Luo Tianyuan would dare to refute. He drew out the precious sword with a "Zheng", waved his hand and cut the table in front of him into two pieces, and shouted sharply: "Do you think the king's sword Is it disadvantageous?"

"The king's knife is naturally sharp, but the student still said that, it has nothing to do with us." Luo Tianyuan said calmly: "When we handed over the elephant to the king, there was no problem at all. We have never had any contact with your elephant soldiers, and now that there is something wrong with the elephant soldiers, you come to trouble us——My lord, this seems a bit unreasonable, right?"
