An incredible scene appeared on the battlefield. The battle elephant, which had been beaten by the Zhou army, rushed towards the Zhou army's formation. Seeing the war in this way, the Grand Governor Wang Meng could not choose what strategy to adopt for a moment.

According to the previous plan, the official army he led was located on the east side, and the Liliao soldiers commanded by Lady Xian were located on the west side, and together with the Xiang army commanded by Chen Fozhi in the middle, they attacked the Zhou army in the north.

The current battlefield situation is indeed the case, but an accident occurred in the Xiangjun, which led to Wang Meng not knowing what measures should be taken to deal with the subsequent battle.

If the Xiang army collapsed and fled, they would probably not be able to defeat the Zhou army by relying solely on the left and right attacks by the government army and the Lijiao soldiers. The best result was to tie the game, and then call the gold and withdraw the troops and bring the Japanese.

So at this time, Wang Meng should lead his troops to stay still and confront the Zhou army with the Lijia soldiers in the west. When it was dark, they would withdraw their troops and return to the camp.

Such a result is the loss of the war elephant.

However, the fleeing war elephant ran towards the Zhou army formation, which was an opportunity to turn defeat into victory. If the war elephant really rushed into the Zhou army formation, as long as the official army arrived in time...

If you want to arrive in time, you have to let the official army march northward quickly. As long as the official army moves, the Lijiao soldiers in the west will inevitably follow.

But if the Elephant runs for a while and then goes in the wrong direction, or is hit by the Zhou army head-on, and turns around and runs south again, then it will be a waste of money for our side, and the situation of the official army will become dangerous by then.

Wang Meng led his troops out of the camp. Although he was attacking the Zhou army left and right with Li Liaobing, his position was attacked by the Zhou army left and right. The main force of the Zhou army to the northwest was on the left and the Zhou army, which began to attack the camp early in the morning, was still on the northeast side of his side, that is, on the right.

There is also the tenacious Zhou army formation. After the battle elephant has been driven away, it still stands on the west side of Wang Meng, just blocking between them and Li Liao soldiers, not to mention that the Zhou army cavalry now has an advantage on the battlefield and can concentrate their forces to attack the weak parts of the Chen army formation at any time.

Under such a battlefield situation, the Chen army would march towards the Zhou army in a hurry, which was basically a one-time deal: either a big victory or a big defeat.

Wang Meng thought about it carefully and felt that the chance of winning was still too low. If he was not careful, he would probably have lost all the entire army here, but if he could defeat the Zhou army, the situation would be reversed...

what to do?

......

"Grandma! If you don't rush up, you won't have such a good opportunity!"

Feng Xuan, who was disheveled, asked for a fight in front of Lady Xian. He was previously chased by the Zhou army and was embarrassed. It was Chen Fozhi's elephant army who had escaped the siege. He had just rushed back to his formation, but the elephant collapsed. He thought that this battle would be defeated, but the elephant rushed towards the Zhou army formation.

Seeing his grandmother covered in clothes without saying a word, he was so anxious that he blushed: "Grandmother! You must not lose your opportunity and never come again..."

"Erlang, let's see what happened to the governor."

"grandmother!"

"Um?"

Lady Xian glared at him and instantly captured Feng Xuan. The cave owners had no intention of echoing. Seeing that the war elephants were about to attack the Zhou army formation, they all had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

They have no confidence in confronting the Zhou army head-on, but as long as the battle elephant rushes into the opponent's formation and keeps trampling, it will always be easier to hit the dog in the water, right?

"Everyone, we must take the governor Ma Shizhan as the king, and we must not act without authorization!"

Lady Xian was not shirking responsibility. She had a clear understanding of the Lijiao soldiers she led. In front of the powerful Zhou army, she was actually a mob. She could fight with the best, but she absolutely could not fight a tough battle.

Of course she knew that it was a good opportunity now, but she also knew that as long as it was not handled properly, it would be a tragic defeat. When she thought of the consequences of the army's disastrous defeat, Lady Xian couldn't help but become cautious.

The government army did not attack, and only relied on the Lijiao soldiers to follow the war elephant to attack the dogs. If the Zhou army was chasing the battlefield by the war elephant, it would be fine, but what if the war elephant was beaten away by it again, what would the Lijiao soldiers rushed up?

If you can't beat it, you can withdraw?

Retreatment before the enemy has always been the most difficult thing. With the military discipline of Liliao soldiers, as long as they start to retreat, they will be a great defeat. At that time, more than a hundred cavalry of the enemy were blocked and killed. I wonder how many men would be ruined here.

After all, the problem lies with the elephant.

Mrs. Xian had seen the battle elephant many years ago. To be honest, she thought this animal was just a sign of its appearance. Although the elephant was huge, it was not very brave. The most important thing was that the elephant was still very smart, so it would run away when facing danger.

Just like humans, the smarter they are, the more they think, and the harder they are to fool them. When encountering danger, they will not come forward recklessly, but will seek good luck and avoid misfortune. This is true for people and elephants.

The previous Zhou soldiers had already fought the battle elephants and fled in panic. They rushed to the north in a panic way. There were more Zhou soldiers there, and they would definitely be able to drive the battle elephants away, so the "war elephants rushing forward" that was most likely to be born in front of them, but it was actually impossible to live.

Not to mention that the Zhou army's cavalry has the advantage and can cut off everyone's back path at any time!

Mrs. Xian had made up her mind, but she could not directly order the troops to remain unmoved. She had to wait for the movement of the government army to make a decision. If the Grand Governor Wang Meng decided to take a risk to attack, then she could only act according to the opportunity.

Mrs. Xian knew that her grandson Feng Xuan was eager to go to war, and another reason was that he and Chen Fozhi were good friends, so she couldn't bear to sacrifice each other. Mrs. Xian also knew that if her side did not send troops, Chen Fozhi would be afraid that there would be a lot of danger, but for the sake of the overall situation, she could only make choices.

The horn sound of "Wuwuwuwu" sounded from the Chen army formation in the east, with a special rhythm. It was a signal that Wang Meng and Lady Xian agreed in advance, meaning "hold the troops without moving."

......

"What are you doing? Don't they want to take the opportunity to attack?"

"I won't even have such a good opportunity, coward!"

The discussions were heard one after another, mixed with regret and sigh. The marching chief Yang Ji couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

Why are you not moved? The battle elephant is obviously about to rush into our army’s formation!

I thought so, but Yang Ji didn't dare to delay. The battle elephant had approached less than a hundred steps away from his own formation. If he dragged it on, he would really "play out". Since the other party did not take the bait, don't pretend.

"Strike!"

With his order, several teams of cavalry had already prepared to march out of the battle. Many people were holding torches in their hands. The teams that were coming out were like fire dragons, facing the approaching battle elephants.

Since these war elephants have been beaten to flee, they definitely do not have the courage to attack the more vigilant formation. The reason they rushed here was that they were shocked, so the Zhou army had to point them in the direction of escape.

It is said that elephants are afraid of fire, so the Zhou army planned to use fire to drive away these scared war elephants, but the remaining soldiers on the war elephants shot arrows at them like crazy.

Then he was shot into a hedgehog by Zhou cavalry.

Chen Fozhi, who had more than ten arrows in his body, was approaching the brink of collapse. Seeing that the Zhou army formation was less than fifty steps away, the battle elephant under his seat was frightened by the Zhou cavalry with a torch, and turned around and ran back. The final chance of winning had disappeared. His elephant army was over, and the battle was over.

The bow and arrow he carried had already shot light. He pulled out the feather arrow inserted into his body and picked up the bow to reflect it back, but because of too many archery, his arms were already soft and he could not shoot the arrow.

His outfit was eye-catching, so he became the best target of Zhou Bing, who was eager to make contributions. Someone took the risk of riding a horse close to the battle elephant and chopped the rope tied to the small building with a knife. Soon, Xiaolou fell from the elephant's back and Chen Fozhi fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up, pulled out his dagger and waved it wildly, watching the Zhou cavalry surrounded him in despair. When he was knocked unconscious, Chen Fozhi saw his war elephants being attacked by the Zhou cavalry, and drove them with torches, running towards the Liliao soldiers in the southwest.
