Section 29 North Wind (4)
The elephant soldiers, which had already broken through to only the last two trenches, seemed to have some problems. The servants who drove the elephant soldiers discovered this first. The elephants became a little irritable one after another. When the first or even several elephants had this condition, they did not attract everyone's attention. The servants only tried their best to restrain the giant elephant under them, but soon this irritable and uneasy mood quickly spread to almost the entire elephant herd like contagious. The situation became more and more serious, and gradually developed from general irritability to mania. The servants worked hard to restrain the elephant herd. Even the coalition infantrymen who were trying to flatten the last two trenches discovered this strange phenomenon.
At this moment, the army opposite the coalition, which had been blocking the coalition with guns, suddenly stopped the gun attack. Huge ghost masks were suddenly lifted out. The sharp and harsh metal impact sound was accompanied by the sound of huge firecrackers. The mouth of the huge mask on the opposite side was even sprayed with huge colorful smoke and dazzling fire. At the same time, another group of Gao Yue soldiers replaced bundles of alternative javelins, and the javelins were wrapped in various tubular objects. As the leads were ignited, the javelins were again projected madly. This sudden vision suddenly made the entire coalition army confused.
The coalition soldiers were stunned, but the giant elephant was not confused. The already manic elephant was completely motivated by the sudden light, smoke and the javelins thrown over with huge firecrackers. They ran and jumped wildly. With just a few bumps, the servants and the soldiers on the elephant's back were dropped and completely in chaos. The giant elephant troops were completely in chaos, but there were still two trenches that were nearly two meters wide in front of them, hindering the elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' elephants' heads turned around and rushed towards the back of their own team. Poor coalition soldiers were lined up with dozens of neatly arranged teams to launch the final attack on the Xijiang Army, who was already waiting to die, but they were completely ravaged by the sudden riot of the giant elephants.
It was like hundreds of crazy chariots crushing by, and the unprepared coalition infantry phalanx was instantly crushed. In order to avoid the giant elephant that rushed towards him, the square teams were completely in chaos. The soldiers cried and howled, and the wolf rushed. The collapse and chaos of one square after another. The officers were at a loss. The beautiful fantasy of victory in sight instantly turned into a bubble. This sudden shocking reversal even made the coalition generals unable to accept it for a while. You could only look at me, and I looked at you, but I could not make any correct reaction and response measures.
A desperate look appeared on Su Mu's face. There was no suspense in this battle. The sudden counter-surgence of hundreds of giant elephants completely disrupted his own deployment. All tactical arrangements and arrangements completely lost their meaning. He could even imagine that the Tanghe people's charge would immediately follow, and the entire coalition was facing the collapse of the entire army. However, he could not imagine how the formally trained war elephants would suddenly lose control and go crazy. Although the enemy used smoke, light, fire and loud noises to stimulate and intimidate war elephants, these war elephants had been trained for a long time, and such stimulating training had been imitated and adapted many times. These methods could only cause some war elephants to be rioted. As long as the command of the servant should be able to control it, how could this phenomenon occur?
Su Mu naturally didn't know that Li Wufeng had already considered the issue of intervening in the Peninsula Alliance as early as the beginning of the army's southward journey to Tiannan. The special army of elephant soldiers has long been included in the response scope of the Western Xinjiang military. The first plan proposed by the University of Science and Technology Development cannot satisfy Wufeng, because Wufeng believes that elephant conventional stimulation methods may not make war elephants crazy. After all, as a special weapon that often needs to be fought, the Peninsula Alliance will also consider the possibility of war elephants being stimulated and crazy. It will inevitably use various means to stimulate them in daily life to encourage war elephants to adapt to these various stimulations from the outside world and prevent accidents on the battlefield.
Then the UNSTTA introduced the necessary auxiliary means. They extracted a special drug from a juice contained in a tree in the forests in the Longdong area. This drug is extremely excited. If an animal is exposed to this plant juice, it will be so excited that it will not be able to return to normal for a few days. Then it is refined and purified by the UNSTTA. This stimulation ability is further improved. After experiments, a very small amount of drug liquid is applied to the arrow and stabbed a docile scalper. It can make a yellow cow violently and manic in a few minutes. The effect lasts for half an hour. This effect makes the military and the UNSTTA people very excited. They further mixed a drug that easily causes hallucinations and fears from animals. The two drugs were mixed and tested and achieved better results. This has become a secret weapon to crack the elephant soldiers of the Peninsula Alliance. The Third Division of the First Legion led by Shan Yao deserves to use this new weapon in this battle.
However, the various questions in Sumu's mind were meaningless to the entire battle situation. When dozens or hundreds of war elephants became crazy, it immediately triggered a riot among the entire war elephant herd. The elephant herd was rushing back and shook the servants and soldiers on their backs and stepped them into meat paste. Then, it poured into the infantry phalanx that was advancing forward. In just half an hour, dozens of infantry phalanxes were ravaged into a terrible sight.
In panic, the coalition generals could only escape with the chaos. None Sumu was reluctant, but the development of the war situation was beyond his control. The two soldiers of Gao Yue, who had already been ready to stop, jumped out of the trenches when the war elephant rushed backwards. The wooden board quickly built the trenches and launched a counterattack along the rear of the fleeing coalition. The coalition, which had been hit by the war elephant's rebellion, could not organize a decent defense at all, and could only escape in scattered evasion from the culprits of these warriors from the Great Hengduan Mountains.
The battle between the Third Division and the coalition was written into various military textbooks as a classic example of defeating the strong with the weak, and defeated 120,000 enemy troops with more than 20,000 troops. The loss of one side was only less than a thousand people. This result was enough to surprise anyone. This also once again proved the outstanding performance of new technology in military affairs. After the end of this battle, Wufeng also without hesitation independent of the Science and Technology Development Agency from the Economic Development Agency and upgraded it to the Xijiang Science and Technology Development Department. The status of the Science and Technology Development Department has since flourished and become the darling in the minds of His Highness the King of Qin.
With this battle, Shanyao led the Third Division to successfully consolidate control in the margins of the dense forest area in the northern Duchy of Sulawesi, and also won three precious days for the Fourth Legion to successfully leave the forest. However, the coalition forces were beaten to pieces in this battle. Although the loss of the 120,000 troops was not very large, and there were only three or four thousand soldiers who were trampled by elephants to cause casualties, Gao Yue's soldiers who were subsequently covered up annihilated more than 20,000 coalition forces. The biggest loss was the morale of being completely defeated. No matter how the coalition generals wanted to break their heads, they couldn't figure out how the war elephants that had undergone various training and tempering were frightened by some sounds and firelights. Now it is not possible to re-contract the broken troops again.
On November 5, 698, the second day after the war, after more than twenty days of hard work, the Engineer Division finally overcomes all difficulties and opens the tunnel in the dense forest area. On November 6, the three divisions of the Fourth Legion, which followed closely, also rushed out of the dense forest area and entered the control area of the Third Division in the northern Duchy of Sulawesi, and obtained a safe and stable base for rest. On November 7, the subsequent two divisions of the Fourth Legion also arrived at the base area through the dense forest area.
On November 9, two divisions of the Fifth Legion also arrived in the northern part of the Principality of Sulawesi. At the same time, the five divisions of the Fourth Legion had already divided into two groups with the cooperation of the Third Division of the First Legion and Gao Yue militia. One of them was formed by the main force of the Gao Yue militia and the Third Division of the Fourth Legion to form the Western Front troops, bypassing Yada City, and quickly heading south along the eastern foot of the Da Hengduan Mountains to the west, with the target directed to the Duchy of Baliya, a neighboring country south of the Principality of Sulawesi.
Su Mu sat tiredly in the conference hall, closed his eyes and said nothing, and let the generals in the hall complain and quarrel with each other. A cool autumn wind swept through the window, causing a sound of falling trees. A thought suddenly jumped into Su Mu's heart, the morale of the army was dispersed and the defeat was decided. Could this be the sign of the end of the entire Peninsula Alliance?
The Baliians withdrew from the coalition forces at the first moment when they heard that the enemy had divided their troops and rushed back to their country overnight with a group of defeated generals. The departure of the Baliians made the coalition generals feel panic all day long. The intelligence has proved that a passage was successfully opened by the engineers of the Xijiang people, and the army of the Tanghe people can finally drive south along this passage. In fact, Sumu had already held a piece of intelligence in his hand. The Western Xinjiang infantry of the three divisions had passed the dense forest area and entered the northern part of the Sulawesi Principality, and met with the Gaoyue people division. The fighter planes have been lost. The plan to solve the Tanghe people in the Sulawesi Principality has lost its value of existence. Now it is necessary to ensure that the living forces are not eliminated by the Tanghe people.
A soldier hurried into the conference hall, came to Sumu and then whispered a few words. The coalition generals all calmed down suddenly, and their suspicious and worried eyes fell on Sumu's face, which was expressionless.
