Chapter 2356 Elephant Soldiers
Yong Kai knew how powerful the barbarian soldiers were. These barbarian soldiers may be deficient in attacking cities, but on the wild battlefield, their charge was enough to cause huge damage to the enemy, especially within the barbarian tribes.
There are such terrifying existences as elephant soldiers.
It is not that the army of Yizhou County had not thought about pacifying the barbarian tribes at the beginning, but the attack of the elephant soldiers brought about the defeat of the army. Under the deterrence of the elephant soldiers, the Han army became even more fearful of the barbarians.
Meng Huo's life outside the city was relatively comfortable. With the Han army providing food and grass, they did not need to worry about food and grass problems. The soldiers in the army also replaced the armor and weapons sent by the Han army. Meng Huo could feel that this time
The weapons and armor provided by the Han army were much more sophisticated than before. It can be seen that the Han army also paid a lot when facing enemy attacks.
Meng Huo did not have the slightest fear of the coming Chang'an army. In his opinion, the Han army was nothing more than that. As long as it was on a frontal battlefield, the warriors of the barbarian tribes could defeat the enemy.
The Chang'an army led by the King of Jin reached 40,000 in number. Meng Huo was confident that he could defeat the enemy with 500 war elephants. As long as the war elephants could tear the enemy's formation apart from the front, the barbarian tribesmen's soldiers
Take advantage of the situation and launch a charge, and this battle will be over.
A simple and violent fighting method was what Meng Huo wanted most. As for the Han people's plots and tricks, in the face of absolute strength, even if there were counselors in the enemy army, what could they do?
After learning that the enemy's cavalry appeared on the battlefield, Meng Huo was furious. Most of the enemy's troops were still far away from Dianchi Lake, but they sent scouts to come. It was clear that he was contemptuous of them. As a dignified person,
Meng Huo, the barbarian king, had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately ordered a hundred war elephants and headed towards the place where the enemy scouts appeared. He wanted to make the Han cavalry feel fearful through a head-on battle.
"Barbarian King, the Han army is cunning, so be careful." Dong Shena reminded. As an important figure under the Barbarian King, Dong Shena still has some understanding of the Han army's fighting methods. If he cannot respond in time on the battlefield,
If so, when facing the Han army, the warriors of the barbarian tribe are likely to suffer a loss.
Meng Huo waved his hand indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, they are just cavalry of the Han army. They are not worth mentioning. Let's see how I lead the army to defeat the enemy."
Dong She was hesitant to say, but in the process of interactions between barbarians and Han people, it was the barbarians who often suffered. The Han people were very resourceful. When they marched and fought, they often combined their resourcefulness with the bravery of their generals. Here,
In one point, the barbarian soldiers were far inferior. They relied on their personal bravery on the battlefield.
After Meng Huo led the elephant soldiers to leave, Dong Shena immediately ordered thousands of soldiers in the army to be ready. If the situation on the battlefield went wrong, he would immediately have the soldiers in the army come forward to rescue Meng Huo.
After killing many of the enemy's scouts, Zhao Yun knew that the enemy would definitely get the news, and Yong Kai must know the reputation of his own cavalry. Under such circumstances, it is possible that Meng Huo's soldiers would be dispatched.
.
"Send the order to the scouts to inquire about the enemy's information in detail. There must be no slack in the matter. The so-called elephant soldiers of the barbarian tribe are very likely to arrive soon," Zhao Yundao said.
When the flying cavalry heard this, they were shocked. They had never seen the elephant soldiers before. This could not stop their belief in victory. No matter how powerful the elephant soldiers were on the battlefield, it could still stop the scimitars and sharp swords in their hands.
The arrow failed.
When Meng Huo led his elephant soldiers to the battlefield, the flying cavalry soldiers were shocked. With such a huge body, the ground was shaking slightly while walking. The most important thing was that the enemy's elephant soldiers occupied a high altitude.
This means that if the Flying Cavalry fights against the enemy under such circumstances, it can only be in a state of looking up.
Even the elite flying cavalry were a little surprised when they saw this situation. The appearance of the elephant soldiers gave people a shocking feeling.
Zhao Yun immediately ordered: "Flying cavalry are not allowed to come forward. Just kill the enemy with arrows."
After receiving the order, the flying cavalry rushed forward. They only needed to keep more than a hundred steps away from these so-called elephant soldiers. The war elephants were indeed extremely shocking during the march, but they were faster than the war horses.
It's much worse. This is the opportunity for the flying knight. As long as he uses the bow and arrow in his hand, he can continuously cause damage to the enemy from a distance, and he can also achieve the goal of victory.
Flying cavalry who have experienced hundreds of battles will not be frightened by the sudden appearance of elephant soldiers from the enemy. They are elites on the battlefield. They have stood out in countless fierce battles, even when facing elephant soldiers.
Meng Huo was the only one on the war elephant to show his status as the emperor. When he saw the Han cavalry charging towards him, Meng Huo burst out laughing. The cavalry was indeed powerful on the battlefield. With their collision, they could
It causes huge damage to the enemy, but in terms of impact strength, the cavalry is much inferior to the elephant soldiers.
The elephant soldiers were invincible on the battlefield, at least in Meng Huo's eyes.
In the past, the Han army had not thought about dealing with these war elephants, but their methods were of little use in front of the war elephants. Whether it was loud noises or rockets, they did not have a great impact on the war elephants.
The situation gave Meng Huo greater confidence.
Under Meng Huo's order, the elephant soldiers launched an attack. The momentum of a hundred war elephants charging on the battlefield completely covered up the momentum of the charge of more than 400 cavalry.
At a distance of nearly a hundred steps, the flying cavalry released the arrows in their hands, then turned their horses' heads without hesitation and galloped forward.
Hundreds of arrows came towards the elephant soldiers on Meng Huo's side, and more arrows hit the war elephants, but the war elephants were rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and it was difficult for these arrows to cause harm to them.
Zhao Yun, who noticed this scene, trembled in his heart. If the elephant soldiers were not even afraid of bows and arrows, and the cavalry did not dare to fight these elephant soldiers, what a terrifying scene it would be if they appeared on the battlefield. No team in the army could
Block the charge of the elephant soldiers.
Moreover, the height advantage of the war elephant makes it difficult for our own soldiers to hit the enemy soldiers on the war elephant. In this way, it will be even more difficult to defeat the barbarian soldiers.
However, Zhao Yun will not give up like this. Any army will have weaknesses, just like the Flying Cavalry. Although it has a strong charging ability on the battlefield, its speed is much worse than that of the Sun Archer Cavalry.
The speed of the elephant soldiers is relatively slow, but it is much faster than the speed of the infantry.
After some testing, Zhao Yun saw that he did not get much effect, so he led the flying cavalry away.
