Chapter 776: Great Victory!

At this time, when Huang Zhong couldn't stop the cavalry attack, he finally remembered Liu Zheng's instructions.

decided to use the killer weapon given to him by Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's killer weapon is actually nothing else, but some war elephants carefully raised by his subordinates.

A troop of war elephants specializing in restraining cavalry.

Liu Zheng had a cavalry under his command, which was obtained from the remnants of Linyi County before.

Later, he defeated the army of the Funan Kingdom and captured some war elephants from the remnants of the Funan Kingdom, and these war elephants took refuge in Liu Zheng's A Guduo and trained all the time.

A Guduo himself was born in training war elephants, but after being captured by Liu Zheng, in order to survive, he took refuge in Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng knew that he had a little ability to train the war elephant troops, but he didn't kill Ah Guduo, so Ah Guduo had been training war elephants in Jiaozhou.

Now when he knew that he was going to fight with Ding Yuan, Liu Zheng naturally took Aguduo from Jiaozhou with the war elephant corps, felt the Jingzhou area, cooperated with Huang Zhong, and prepared to use their army of war elephants to annihilate Ding Yuan's cavalry.

Although the number of elephant soldiers was small, only 1,000.

But because each war elephant is very large, in comparison, a thousand-headed war elephant army can already be as magnificent as a few thousand cavalry.

After Huang Zhong's order was issued, the army of these war elephants in the rear of the battlefield had already begun to move.

Aguduo commanded these war elephants, starting from the rear and slowly rushing to the front line of the battlefield.

The war elephants let out a long and long roar.

Those war horses didn't hear what these sounds were at first, and those soldiers didn't know that there was such a creature as an elephant in this heaven and earth.

After all, they are all people from the state, who live close to the nomads all the year round, and are used to seeing horses, how can they see elephants?

The speed of the war elephant troops is not fast, and even their advance cannot be called running, but only faster.

Dozens of elephants took the lead in rushing to Huang Zhong's rear, and Huang Zhong gave an order to let the soldiers behind him let go of a way. This allows these elephant troops to pass completely through the middle road.

The rumbling horses trampled on it, and after the elephants appeared, it began to seem a little small.

In terms of size, the size of these war horses is not very large, even if they are tall, they are only about two meters, and those elephants, any one of them is three meters tall, and some remind them that they are huge, close to four meters, as if they are twice as large as these war horses.

These horses were not large enough to collide with the elephants, and these elephants could not be shaken in any way.

On the contrary, it will provoke these war elephants and provoke the impact of these war elephants, and dozens of war elephants that are the first to come out will run wild on this battlefield, tearing open a hole in those dense wolf horses of the state at once.

In addition, there are two or three people in the army of these war elephants, constantly shooting with bows and crossbows.

For a time, those wolf riders in the state suffered huge casualties, and there was a wail.

Originally, those wolf cavalry had already recovered some of their disadvantages, as long as they defeated those infantry at the front, they could directly kill the core of the battlefield and kill these archers behind Huang Zhong.

Killed Huang Zhong's shooter, in this battle, Ding Yuan can be regarded as victorious.

But Ding Yuan never expected that behind Huang Zhong, there were such things that he had never seen before.

As soon as these war elephants appeared, they were like a heart booster, giving Huang Zhong confidence and at the same time bringing Ding Yuan despair.

Ding Yuan did not take the lead in the charge, it was his lieutenant who charged, but Ding Yuan himself was also on this battlefield, commanding his army to rush forward.

At the beginning, Ding Yuan didn't realize that something was wrong, but he felt that the enemy's sniping was a bit powerful, but there were cavalry, and rushing over was a victory.

Ding Yuan wantonly let the cavalry under his command charge, trampling these vulnerable soldiers with powerful horse hooves.

But as soon as the war elephants and horses appeared, Ding Yuan was dumbfounded.

"That'...... What's that? ”

"General, we don't know, we don't know where Liu Zheng got the beast, it's bigger than the war horse, it's not afraid of the charge of the war horse at all, our war horse has no advantage in front of those things, but it was crushed by them."

The soldiers who fled back from the front line immediately reported the situation at the front to Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan looked at those elephants dumbfounded, this was a scene that he could never forget in his life, the cavalry he trusted, under the impact of some fierce beasts, was actually beaten without the ability to parry.

In this way, the fifteen thousand cavalry, under the onslaught of war elephants, soon lost more than half of their casualties.

And those elephants, there are more and more, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of elephants have appeared here, and they have forced their war horses here to retreat one after another.

Rao is Ding Yuan, and he also knows that the victory or defeat of the battle has been decided.

These cavalry under his command were no longer able to break through the defenses of Huang Zhong and others.

Ding Yuan looked at the large camp in the distance, and then looked at the cavalry beside him who had suffered heavy losses.

In the end, he sighed and gave the order to retreat.

"The battle situation has been decided, and it still hasn't been able to break through after all, these armies under Liu Zheng!"

"Withdraw, now that you can save some of your strength, continue to challenge them here, there is only one way for the whole army to be wiped out!"

Ding Yuan's analysis was very clear, and after he saw those war elephant troops appear, he already understood that the situation was completely unfavorable to them.

It would be futile and wasted to continue fighting.

If he retreats now, the more than 10,000 cavalry under his command should still be able to retain three or four percent.

Not to be wiped out here.

The clarion call for retreat began to spread throughout the battlefield with Ding Yuan's order.

When the cavalrymen who were charging forward heard the sound of the order to retreat, they began to turn the dock one by one like a life-saving straw, and receded like a tide.

The cavalry came fast and dispersed quickly.

Except for a few who were pinned down by Huang Zhong's men and could not leave the battlefield directly, most of the cavalry was able to quickly withdraw from here.

Of course, when they retreated, they were not less shot by Huang Zhong's shooters.

The cavalry phalanx of 15,000 people can really be evacuated from the battlefield unscathed, but I am afraid that even 5,000 people will be a problem.

Look at the cavalry fleeing in disarray. Huang Zhong's face finally showed a smile at this moment.

They won this leg up completely.

Although he lost some foot soldiers, he was able to defeat Ding Yuan's cavalry. It can already be said that it is a great victory.

After all, these cavalry are the soldiers and horses that Ding Yuan relies on the most, and without these cavalry, Ding Yuan would not have to worry.

For this reason, Liu Zhen was also able to sit back and relax and attack Hanyang with confidence.
