Chapter Seventy-Five: The Battle of Changsha III

The elephant raised its trunk high, and its two long tusks, like two huge spears, slammed into it.

What wolf, what spear, and even the fire gun, are all based on the humanoid monster, for the sudden appearance of the giant beast, the mandarin duck array suddenly collapsed, especially as the front of the captain who served as the command, was picked up by the ivory, and then smashed heavily on the ground, and then the round like a hydraulic press like a leg smashed heavily on it, and immediately smashed the person into a piece of flesh.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen in one place, but in many places.

Even in front of Xu Du is no exception.

It seems that Xu Du's position is too far forward, so he is focused on attacking.

Xu Du was not flustered at all.

Although he didn't know what it meant to use the same trick not to use twice in front of the Saint Seiya, Xu Du was caught off guard by the war elephant last time, and after he went back, he learned from the pain and thought about how many ways to do it. Used against these war elephants. For the arrival of these war elephants, it can be said that they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Huh." With a bang, a short spear was fired.

Xu Du drew his sword violently, and the long sword cut off the short spear alive. But he also felt numbness in his wrists. The sword buzzed incessantly. As soon as he looked up, he saw a man standing on top of a war elephant, holding a javelin in his hand and throwing it again.

"My lord, let's withdraw first." Ding Ruzhang said.

"Shut up." Xu Du said sharply: "Among my Xia army, there are only generals who die in battle, and there is no one who escapes. ”

Xu Du said so, although there is a part of his character, but there is also the influence of the overall atmosphere of the Xia army, as a new dynasty, it can be said that the whole family is united, and they all want the Xia Dynasty to continue, and the generals at all levels are named marquis. is also the same, although the Great Xia army does not dare to say that it is a pure land, there are some flies and dogs, but the overall tone is upward.

They all took it as a great shame to flee from the battle.

Xu Du said: "Rocket preparation." Shoot. ”

"Woohoo." The sound of rockets breaking through the sky was heard, and one rocket after another shot into the elephant's eyes.

The rockets did not hit the elephant's eyes, but the elephant was also startled by the sudden fire in front of him, and suddenly his steps became hesitant.

This hesitation gave Xu Du a chance.

Under Xu Du's urging, all kinds of anti-war elephant weapons were used.

The first to come out is a volley of firearms.

However, these can only alarm the war elephant and make the war elephant suffer, but it is much worse to kill the war elephant. Zhang Xuan was already dissatisfied with the lack of power of the bird gun. Hitting someone within a few dozen steps may not be able to break the armor, but generally speaking, a person who is hit by a shot, even if he does not break the armor, is enough to shatter the internal organs.

But elephants are not people.

The elephant's physique is so strong, although he has no armor on his body, but his body is coated with a layer of mud, plus the skin and fat of the elephant's body, it is almost the same as the heavy armor, it is good that there is no need for heavy armor, unless these birds take turns to shoot several rounds, otherwise they will not be able to kill at all.

Still, ate a salvo. The elephant also began to get agitated.

A large number of jars were then smashed on the elephant and then ignited by rockets. A raging fire was ignited.

Swept away by the fire, these elephants were suddenly deserted and ran around.

One is the rampage, whether it is the Xia army or the Dian army, I don't know how many people were killed, but some were killed by the two sides.

This is just the use of fire, Xu Du is not prepared for this kind of means.

"Boom, boom, boom." The sound of explosions came, and for a while on the battlefield, there was a feeling of silence, louder than the sound of cannons. Isn't it, these gunpowder jars contain much more gunpowder than when a cannon is fired.

Whether it was the sound of the explosion or the power of the explosion, the elephant was stunned.

Elephants are intelligent animals, so they don't die for the two-legged beast. When he saw that the situation was not good and threatened his life, he immediately turned around and ran.

Xu Du was overjoyed, so he waited for the war elephants to rush backwards, and when the war elephants rushed over and broke the Ming army, he saw a war elephant screaming and falling to the ground, constantly convulsing, obviously unable to live.

Xu Du looked at it and said, "What a ruthless method." Even so, there is still admiration in my heart.

What he saw, he saw the man on the back of the elephant, with a long iron spike like a spear, piercing the side of the elephant's neck, and stabbing it down until it was stalked, and then the elephant fell to the ground, and his limbs twitched, and blood flowed. I can't move at all.

If you think about it, you must have pierced the elephant's heart. In order to be so decisive and fatal, it has reduced greater casualties.

Although it can be said that it is ungrateful for an elephant to do this, for a general, four or five hundred people will die when they say they will die, let alone four or five hundred elephants.

It was also Li Mingzhong's prior arrangement, so that the matter of the war elephant was just a small episode, and it did not affect the overall situation.

It's not without impact at all.

Many Xia soldiers found that these weapons used to deal with elephants were actually quite convenient and quick to use against people. So under the impact of the Jinhua army, the Yunnan army was defeated in successive battles, if it were not for Li Mingzhong, Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing, Pujia brothers, these large and small generals, regardless of their bodies, backlash, it can be regarded as stabilizing the position, and under the command of Yue Qijie, the various departments of the Hunan army also went into battle, and then under the command of Zhang Xuan, the Xia army in the back also fought with the Ming army.

The battle between the two sides can be regarded as a complete victory.

On the mile-long battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering, and the sun moved to the position of Zhongtian little by little. The sun is also getting hotter and hotter, and just standing under the sun makes people feel dizzy. Not to mention fighting the sun here.

Zhang Xuan just looked at it, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

However, although this situation is not good, Zhang Xuan believes that his subordinates, after all, the battles have been tempered, and the heat can still be resisted. Even so, Zhang Xuan began to make detailed arrangements, and the military camp prepared medicinal materials to cool down from the heat.

There are also some soups, such as mung bean soup and the like.

It's just that it can't be sent to the front line now, and it can only be used to reward the whole army when the battle in front of it is understood.

In such a situation, the Ming army was a little unable to hold on.

In addition to the same situation as Zhang Xuan's side, there is also a special reason, that is, the sun is a little southerly, and the sunlight is shining right on the faces of the Ming soldiers from the back of Xia Jun. There are some discomforts, and these discomforts can easily turn into fatal mistakes in the fight to the death.

"Your Majesty." Chen Xin said: "You can give General Liu an order." Otherwise, the situation will not be maintained. ”

Longwu also understands the situation on the battlefield. Knowing that the morale of the army has dropped to an extremely dangerous point, if you are not careful, a complete collapse will occur. The step he's hiding, it's time to let it go.

But he thought about it for a while, and still said: "The general will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be granted." Since I have ordered General Liu to make a decision on the spot, I believe him. Keep waiting. ”

When Chen Xin heard this, he was slightly moved in his heart and said: "Your Majesty is like the sea, and if you want to come to General Liu, you will definitely feel the guilt of the five." "Not every emperor can choose to trust a general at such a juncture. But Chen Xin was moved and thought of Liu Chengyin, and secretly said in his heart: "Can this Liu Tie stick withstand such trust?" ”

Chen Xin didn't know.

He immediately threw this idea aside and said secretly: "The king treats the ministers with faith, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty." Your Majesty is like this to General Liu, thinking that he has some heartfelt feelings, he will swear to serve His Majesty to the death. There will be no other thoughts. ”

It's just that at this time, where is Liu Chengyin, who pinned almost all the hopes of Longwu?

Just south of the Xia army, in a village.

There is a hill in the middle of the village, which is not high or deep, but there is a stream. The stream is also an ordinary stream, and there is no big deal about it, but the cave where the stream is located is a deep underground cave.

This is the reason why Liu Chengyin has been able to hide until now.
