Chapter 827 Trapping the Enemy

"Hahaha! What Xiliang cavalry is nothing more than that in front of my elephant soldiers!"

Meng Huo laughed heartily. The morale of the tens of thousands of Nanman soldiers was high, and they cheered. Even Yongkai breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the Nanman elephant soldiers were so powerful. It seemed that he had to find a way to buy a few elephants, and then Wouldn't it be possible to train as war elephant soldiers to run rampant in Shu and imitate Gongsun Shu in the past and dominate Bashu?

The war elephant soldiers under Meng Huo galloped forward, making even the earth tremble. Although Ma Xiu and the Xiliang cavalry were brave, they were not fools. There was no way they could really charge forward and fight with these house-like war elephants. , isn’t that seeking death?

As a result, the war elephant soldiers marched straight in and chased for more than thirty miles. The Xiliang cavalry was so frightened that they ran away in confusion. The morale of the Southern Barbarians was greatly boosted for a while. Meng Huo ordered the entire army to set up camp and continue to march tomorrow.

At this time, the infantry of the Xiliang Army led by Ma Teng also gathered with Ma Xiu's three thousand cavalry. When Ma Xiu talked to Ma Teng about the Southern Barbarians' war with the elephant soldiers, Ma Xiu still had palpitations in his heart.

"The southern barbarian soldiers drove the war elephants, and they rushed towards each other like tall buildings. I shot them with bows and arrows, but they couldn't penetrate their skin. These southern barbarian war elephants are really difficult to match."

"How many war elephant soldiers are there in Meng Huo's army?" Ma Teng asked with a frown.

"About a dozen of them."

"Um"

Ma Teng didn't say anything, just fell into deep thought.

The second day.

On a field, two armies faced each other head-on. Their numbers were close, both around 20,000.

On one side was the Xiliang army in black clothes and armor, full of murderous intent, while on the opposite side was the Nanman army, covered in oil paint, naked and basically without armor.

"Chief Meng, opposite is General Ma Teng of the Xiliang Army, who is highly regarded by General Liu Yuqing." Yong Kai rode on his horse and introduced Meng Huo.

Meng Huo said arrogantly: "Hmph, let alone this Ma Teng, even if Liu Yuqing comes in person today, it will be self-destruction!"

Hearing Meng Huo's loud tone, Yong Kai didn't know what to say. He just said flatteringly: "The war elephant soldiers are invincible in the world. Leader Meng is really powerful."

"Hahaha, Mulu!"

Meng Huo ordered: "You lead the elephant soldiers as the vanguard and flatten the enemy's formation. I will lead the army to cover up and kill you. Do you understand?"

"Hey, look at me."

The wooden deer riding on the back of the war elephant laughed and ordered: "The war elephant attacks and crushes the enemy."

Boom!

Only a dozen elephants were seen slowly coming out of the formation. Each elephant was two stories tall, had a long nose and sharp teeth, and was very powerful. Facing such a tall war elephant soldier, even though Ma Teng's subordinates are all Xiliang elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, their expressions suddenly changed drastically. If they were replaced by yellow scarf thieves, they would probably turn around and leave in fright.

Ma Teng was riding on the horse with a determined look on his face, waving his command flag: "Act as planned."

"Here!"

Although the Xiliang soldiers in the front row showed fear on their faces, they all clenched their teeth and remained motionless as they watched the approaching war elephant soldiers from the opposite side.

"Hey, these guys are really stupid. They didn't know how to move when they saw my elephant soldiers rushing over."

Mulu shook his head and said loudly: "Continue to attack and crush them all!"

Driven by the Nanman soldiers, more than a dozen war elephants continued to charge forward. Each war elephant roared, and the violent factors in their bodies seemed to jump out, trampling all the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side into flesh. mud.

However, the Xiliang army faced the impact of the war elephants, but their figures remained motionless, as if they were scarecrows, unable to move. In fact, the Xiliang soldiers in the front row also clenched their fists. If these war elephant soldiers really rushed over, no matter how powerful warriors they were, they would be trampled to death.

However, the war elephant soldiers may not be able to rush over.

Jinhuan Sanjie was riding on a war elephant. He looked enthusiastic, grabbed the reins and shouted: "Kill!" As a barbarian general, Jinhuan Sanjie was naturally eager to make achievements and gain Meng Huo's important use.

The war elephant under the three-knotted golden ring is also the most majestic among the group of war elephants. Driven by his master, he strides forward with four hooves and is about to rush into the Xiliang army. Suddenly, Suddenly, he felt that his feet were in the air, and his feet were not firmly planted. His body was still driven forward by inertia, and as a result, his whole body fell into a huge pit.

Poof!

"Roar!"

It turned out that in order to deal with the war elephants, Ma Teng ordered thousands of soldiers to dig a large pit overnight and cover it with green turf. The war elephants rushed over. They were huge and weighed several tons. It was natural that they would miss the mark with one foot. Fell into a pit.

The pit is several feet deep, and there are a considerable number of spikes and sharp blades in it. If the war elephant falls into the pit, the sharp wooden thorns will naturally penetrate its skin and pierce into the flesh. Suddenly, countless streams of blood flowed out of the wounds, and the war elephant naturally screamed.

The Golden Ring Three Knots, who was in high spirits just now, also screamed. The war elephant fell into the pit, and the Golden Ring Three Knots naturally fell down as well. Fortunately, he subconsciously held on to the elephant saddle and did not fall to the bottom of the pit. , otherwise if it falls on those sharp thorns, it will be pierced through.

You must know that these spikes are used to deal with war elephants, so each one is cut with a weapon and is as thick as an arm, pricking fist-sized wounds on the elephant's body. If someone fell on it and had only one wound, they would probably not be able to survive.

"It was so dangerous, I almost died."

Jin Huan Sanjie clung to the elephant saddle tightly, breathing rapidly, and at the same time secretly rejoicing in his heart.

At this moment, Jinhuan Sanjie heard a scream, and his expression suddenly changed.

"There is a trap here, don't go through it!"

"There's a trap ahead, stop right there!"

Mulu was naturally frightened when he saw that the war elephant under the golden ring triple knot suddenly fell into the pit, so he ordered the surrounding war elephant soldiers to stop. However, these elephants did not understand human speech, and even more What's more, the inertia of running with all one's strength cannot be restrained in an instant.

So Mulu could only watch helplessly as the war elephants continued to run forward and rushed towards the pit.

"Roar!"

One by one, the war elephants fell into the pit. Their huge bodies fell hard, and their skin was pierced by the spikes at the bottom of the pit. The pungent smell of blood spurted out. The war elephants' wails were so loud that both armies could hear them. .

The top of the head of the golden ring triple knot was suddenly shrouded in a shadow. He looked up in horror and saw a war elephant falling down. He opened his mouth wide, but before he had time to scream, the shadow above his head became bigger and bigger. , and finally pressed down heavily, pressing on the war elephant under his crotch.
