However, there are always mistakes in calculations, and I haven't used arithmetic for a long time. So Tang Ning thought about it for a while and decided to let the infantry run first, and all the soldiers on horseback stayed, using gunpowder or crossbows, to find a way to delay the speed of the elephant soldiers.

But a new problem arose, and most of the Song army came from the mainland. The local people in Yongzhou rarely even see elephants, and now, fully armed elephants appear in front of them, and those who are not determined are on the verge of collapse at this time.

When Tang Ning was ordered to go back to plan the trip to Jiaozhi, Zeng Bu personally came to the door to ask Tang Ning if there was any way to deal with the elephant soldiers.

To this, Downing's answer was gunpowder.

Elephants are very delicate creatures at heart, and just like introverts, they are very frightened and cranky.

The explosion of gunpowder is not only a physical attack for them, but also a magical attack, which will cause damage to their spirits.

After listening to Tang Ning's explanation, Zeng Bu was skeptical, but the Privy Council had no other way to deal with the elephant soldiers. Because fighting against elephant soldiers requires the soldiers to have incomparable faith and will, otherwise just such a behemoth appears above their heads, and the loss of fighting spirit is simply a normal physiological reaction.

"Cavalry obey orders!" Shen Qian turned his head to look at the infantry corps that was running farther and farther, and then at the elephant soldiers who were getting closer and closer: "Bow up!" ”

Cavalry archery is also a compulsory course for the cavalry of the Zhenjiang Army.

However, the cavalry of the Zhenjiang army is not much, and there are only 300 people. And a hundred of them are still scouts, but now they come in handy.

Shen Qian gave an order, and the cavalry immediately took off the longbows on their backs. There are also those who use their hands ~ crossbows, it all depends on their habits, what they are good at, and what they are good at, Tang Ning has no hard requirements.

"Gunpowder arrows ready!" The dive shouted again, but the elephant's roar was getting closer. Tang Ning squinted his eyes and looked over, the elephant was only six hundred meters away from this side at most.

"Put!" The god dive roared.

As soon as the words were spoken, the heavy breathing cavalrymen immediately lit the fuse and let go of the hand holding the bowstring.

"Facing north! Speed One! Shen Qian took out a small flag and shouted while gesturing, the cavalry had waited too long for this moment. Shen Qian just said that they were facing north, and they had already anointed the soles of their feet with oil.

"Grandma's! Don't listen to commands, do you? Suddenly, the god who was left behind cursed, and hurriedly followed.

The sound of crackling gunpowder explosions sounded from behind, followed by the mournful screams of elephants.

Pei Xiantong turned his head to look at it, twisted his head back again, and didn't say anything. This made Tang Ning, who had been staring at her vigilantly, breathe a sigh of relief, if Pei Xiantong suddenly said that Xiang Xiang is so cute, why should he be so Xiang Xiang, Tang Ning really didn't know how to answer.

can only say that this loser can't ask for it, and she has to find a way to get rid of her......

The first round of gunpowder arrows seemed to have had some effect, and the sound of the elephant's neighing continued.

So Shen Qian ordered the cavalry to stop, turned his head and continued to be on guard.

The elephant soldiers are still in pursuit, but this time the gods have prepared a big one for them. The crockpot filled with gunpowder had an elongated lead, which was tested and burned for about fifteen seconds before it ignited the gunpowder and then exploded.

This moment is the moment to play with the heartbeat, and people with poor psychological quality will definitely not be able to stay and take on this important responsibility.

Shen Qian selected twenty cavalrymen, and the rest were thirty paces behind.

These twenty people were all scouts in the Zhenjiang army, and after burying the gunpowder, the knights got on their horses. Then he pinched the lead with one hand and grabbed the fire fold with the other.

"Xiao Liu, your hands are shaking, are you okay? If you're afraid, just say it, there's no need to hold on here. ”

"Mohu said! I'm excited and my hands are shaking! What am I afraid of, isn't it just a rat who is a little bigger? What is there to be afraid of! I think you're scared! ”

"You call this a mouse?"

"You don't care what I call it, I call him dad and don't do your business!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Liu, whose hands were shaking, was also happy.

The god glanced at his hand that was not trembling, and shook his head with a smile.

The elephant soldiers in front of them had reached a very close distance, and Shen Qian pursed his mouth to ask everyone not to be distracted, and after waiting for a while, he shouted: "This is now!" Light the fire and run! ”

When the knights heard this, they blew a mouthful of fire, turned and fled.

Xiao Liu was still nervous, and the lead fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

At this time, the more nervous he is, the more likely he is to have an accident, Xiao Liu jumped off the horse and wanted to pick up the lead, but whether it was gunpowder or elephant soldiers, he would not give him this time anymore.

Messed up...... Xiao Liu wanted to cry without tears, and the moment he got off the horse, he messed up. At this moment, he gave up thinking, closed his eyes, and the marquee of this short life came to his mind.

At the last moment, a person sprang out of the oblique ground and scooped up Xiao Liu. Then a sharp whistle blew out, and Xiao Liu's mount, which remained in place, also followed.

With a muffled bang, one of the elephant's thick front legs landed in the position where Xiao Liu was in a daze just now.

"What are you doing? Do you have a problem with your brain? Why dismount? Shen submerged and shouted at Xiao Liu, who was carrying his neck, "Lao Tzu was almost killed by fucking you!" Get back to your own right away! ”

As he spoke, Shen Qian slowed down a little and put Xiao Liu on his own horse.

Xiao Liu seemed to have returned to his soul, hugging the neck of the mount, his face full of tears.

"I really can't stand you recruits, one by one when you encounter danger, you will only wait for death...... In the end, it's still your own stupidity to push yourself to a dead end, and the next time there is such a time, Lao Tzu will watch you die on the side!

Lao Tzu no

Just to watch you die, Lao Tzu still applauds, and Lao Tzu still says that death is good! ”

The chatter and complaints came from the front, but Xiao Liu's heart was a warm current.

Bang...... Bang...... Thundered......

A loud bang came from behind him, the earth trembled, and the explosion of gunpowder stopped all the elephants. Frightened, they began to go berserk, and began to run wildly in all directions uncontrollably, and seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, the knights on the elephant soldiers had no choice but to put down their chisels and curse fiercely.

The gunpowder of the Song people was so powerful that it suddenly exploded when they passed by that place, and two elephants were even torn to pieces in the explosion just now.

In the end, the Jiaozhi people did not pursue, and the Song army also retreated to Guangyuan City without danger.

With the exception of a stampede during the escape, which killed one person and injured dozens more, there was no attrition due to the fighting.

Speaking of which, I didn't fight with the Cochin people at all. The small stone walking in front of the path was too crucial, not only scaring the Jiaozhi people, but also reminding themselves that there was an ambush ahead.

"Little Stone has a credit!" After returning to the camp, Tang Ning said: "The two hundred cavalry who went to the front to explore the road have all taken a credit!" ”

"Yay!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

“……”

……………………

"Fuck, what's going on?! How so?! Li Changjie was very angry, although he knew that all this was because the Song army sent scouts to detect his elephant soldiers in the valley at a long distance from their main formation, but he didn't want to admit that this was caused by the other party being stronger than him.

He must find a back-and-forth boy among his own people.

"Come! What's going on! Li Changjie pointed to the elephant commander and asked loudly.

"Dashuai, the humble duty is wronged, the humble duty is really helpless!" The elephant commander said with a look of grievance: "The Song army immediately lost gunpowder when they saw the elephants, and our archers failed to keep them.

The elephant was frightened and chased after him on the spot. There was no choice but to drive the elephant to chase after him. Results ......"

"That's your problem." Li Changjie said with great certainty.

"Dashuai, this doesn't make sense......"

"You didn't take care of your elephants, it's not your problem or whose problem? Do you want to blame the Song people for seducing you? ”

“…… Handsome! Wronged, handsome! ”

"In special times, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Go to the overseer and order ten spine rods yourself! ”

“……”

The depressed elephant commander retreated, and Li Changjie picked up the cup on the table and threw it on the ground.

"The surname is Tang! You wait! Between the two of us, either you die or I live! ”
