Chapter 826 War Elephant Soldiers
Ma Xiu first beheaded Mongya Chang and then captured A Huinan alive, defeating two generals in a row in an instant.
"Our army will win!"
When the Xiliang cavalry saw how brave Ma Xiu was, they couldn't help but cheer in unison and cheer for Ma Xiu. Suddenly, the Xiliang army cheered like thunder. The fatigue caused by the long march was swept away, and their morale instantly increased. Reached the top.
On the other hand, the morale of the Southern Barbarian Army on the opposite side had dropped to freezing point. Tens of thousands of people were silent and no one dared to speak.
Meng Huo's heart became even more angry. The upper and lower rows of teeth clenched together, making a squeaking and rubbing sound. He wanted to crush the steel teeth in his teeth.
"I'm so mad at you, so mad at me!"
Yong Kai looked ugly and said: "Your Majesty, today's battle is unfavorable. We lost two generals and only damaged morale. How about retreating for the time being to reorganize our troops and fight again tomorrow?"
"You are talking nonsense and disrupting the morale of our army!"
Meng Huo said angrily: "The Han soldiers beheaded my general and killed my own brother. This is an irreconcilable hatred. Get out of my way!"
Pulling out the sharp knife from his waist, Meng Huo said angrily: "Where is Mulu? Lead the elephant soldiers to fight for me and crush the Xiliang soldiers into pulp!"
Meng Huo gave an order, and the 20,000 Nanman soldiers split into waves and separated a road. Immediately afterwards, only a dozen war elephants with a height of two feet, huge bodies, fangs and long arms were seen running out slowly. There is a seat on the back of these war elephants, on which sit the Nanman soldiers painted with oil paint.
"Um?"
Seeing the elephant soldiers who were two stories high, even Ma Xiu could not help but be stunned.
"What is this?"
There was a soldier on the side who was quite experienced and said in a trembling voice: "Captain, this is a strange beast from the south, called an elephant. The elephant is tall and strong and cannot be resisted. Let's retreat quickly!"
"Damn it, the whole army retreats. Send people to inform father about the elephant. Make preparations in advance!"
As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition, Ma Teng led an army of 20,000 people southward. Except for Ma Xiu's 3,000 cavalry, the rest were infantry. Facing the galloping war elephants, the cavalry could at least outrun due to their fast speed. If the infantry encountered the war elephants, they would probably be defeated.
Although Ma Xiu was brave, he was not a fool. It was naturally impossible for him to lead his cavalry into the enemy, give an order, turn around and leave. The rear group of three thousand cavalry changed into the front group and galloped away.
"Hahaha, these Xiliang soldiers are just showing up, kill them!"
Mulu, who was riding on the back of an elephant, saw that the Xiliang cavalry did not dare to fight and fled away. He couldn't help laughing and led more than ten war elephants as the vanguard to continue moving forward.
The morale of the southern barbarian army, which had been low because Ma Xiu killed two generals, quickly recovered, and everyone cheered loudly.
Meng Huo snorted coldly: "What Xiliang cavalry is nothing compared to my elephant soldiers!"
"Send orders to Mulu, pursue the enemy and trample these Xiliang cavalry into a pulp for me!"
Meng Huo gave an order, and a dozen war elephant soldiers rushed forward, while 20,000 southern barbarian soldiers followed behind the elephant soldiers with high morale, gearing up.
I saw that after the elephant soldiers went out to fight, the Xiliang cavalry didn't even fight and just ran away. Yong Kai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that the Southern Barbarian elephant soldiers were so brave. It seems that this time they might really be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat the enemy."
After that, Yong Kai also ordered: "Follow the Zhan Xiang soldiers and hunt down the Xiliang army!"
The more than 3,000 people under Yong Kai's command were also greatly boosted in morale. They followed closely behind the war elephant soldiers and chased forward.
As expected of the word "big" in its name, elephants are the largest animals on land. When they walk, they are like running buildings, and the ground shakes. Anything that stands in front of the war elephant is knocked away. This feeling is as if the gods from the sky have come to the world, and mortals cannot resist it at all.
"Go faster, don't let the war elephant catch up!"
However, Matthew personally followed at the back, urging the cavalry to escape, for fear that if any of them fell behind, they would be killed by the elephant soldiers.
"Ah!"
Suddenly there was a scream from behind. When Ma Xiu looked back, he saw that it was a Xiliang cavalry who was so nervous that his legs cramped and he fell off the horse.
"careful!"
Matthew was taken aback, and just as he was about to catch up and rescue him, he saw the elephant soldiers rushing forward.
"ah!"
The war elephant raised its front hooves as big as a tabletop without hesitation, then dropped them hard, trampling on the legs of the Xiliang soldiers. The power contained in the huge front hooves was so terrifying that it directly broke the bones of the Xiliang soldier's legs, and there was a sound of shattering. This unlucky Xiliang soldier was a fierce warrior on the battlefield, but now But he showed a painful expression.
The entire lower body was trampled into pulp. In the desire to survive, the Xiliang soldiers grabbed the ground with both arms and crawled forward. Blood flowed out from his legs, and he crawled on the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
boom!
Then he caught up with another war elephant, which also raised its front hooves and landed on his head. The Xiliang soldiers didn't even have time to scream in agony before their skulls were crushed.
"Damn."
Ma Xiu witnessed with his own eyes that the backward Xiliang soldiers were trampled to a pulp. He was shocked and angry for a moment. His nostrils were dilated and he was snorting with anger.
"I'm so angry!"
In anger, Ma Xiu stuck his spear on the ground, pulled out the bow and arrow from his back, pointed the bow and arrow at the war elephant nearest to him, and shot out an arrow with a whoosh.
Unlike humans, war elephants are extremely large, so Matthew only aimed slightly before shooting the arrow.
Whoosh!
"Roar!"
Clusters of arrows shot into the body of the elephant. The elephant's skin was rough and fleshy. Although the arrow was very powerful, it just broke through the skin and a trail of blood flowed out. It's like being pricked by a needle, but it doesn't cause much harm.
However, the elephant was in pain, its eyes were slightly red, and it rushed towards Matthew with all four hooves galloping, intending to trample this damn human into a pulp.
Matthew frowned. It seemed that this elephant was not easy to deal with. He put the bow and arrow behind his back and galloped away. He got off the horse, which was a fat and strong BMW. Under the urging of Ma Xiu, it naturally galloped out. Although the elephant speeded up in anger, it could not catch up with Ma Xiu's horse for a while. .
Thousands of cavalry ran in front, a dozen elephants chased behind, and behind the war elephants were 20,000 southern barbarian soldiers with high morale. They looked fanatical, and it seemed that the Han army was nothing more than that.
"Chase me, trample all these Han soldiers to death, and avenge my brother!"
Meng Huo's eyes were still blood red, and he was extremely angry at the death of his younger brother Meng You. He wanted these damn Xiliang soldiers to pay the price!
More than a dozen war elephants and thousands of war horses galloped on the ground, like Thor's chariot rolling across the earth. The ground shook slightly, and the surrounding small animals were frightened and fled here, not daring to stay.
