Chapter 828 Taking Advantage of the Situation to Cover up the Killing

The two war elephants came into close contact, their skin touching each other, and the golden ring triple knot riding on the war elephant below had no time to scream, and his whole body was pressed together by the two war elephants, turning into flesh. .

The pit was not dug too deep, only three to four feet, so only five or six war elephants fell into the pit. The remaining war elephants bumped into each other one after another due to inertia. His body and figure were all stopped.

The whole scene was like a series of car accidents. The war elephant in front was motionless. The war elephant behind was bumped into it and fell to the ground with a thud. Most of the dozen war elephants fell to the ground, wailing and screaming, unable to move.

The Xiliang army in the front row finally felt relieved with their throats raised. If the trap could not stop the war elephants, they would have to be crushed by this group of war elephants.

"Charge forward and defeat the enemy!"

Ma Teng gave the order, and the Xiliang army in the front row suddenly let out thunderous cheers. Then they stepped forward one by one with steady steps, holding a carefully crafted short spear in their hands, only five feet long, with a spear head. A sharp triangular armor-piercing awl was used. If it was poked, even the armor would be broken open.

"cast!"

At the command, the thousand warriors in the front row raised their arms and projected the five-foot-long spearhead forward.

Whoosh whoosh!

The short spear tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and greeted the remaining war elephants who were still in shock.

"Roar!"

Several war elephants suddenly let out screams. These short spears were made of steel and were powerful, far beyond what ordinary arrows could compare to. As the saying goes, three arrows are not as good as one knife, and three knives are not as good as one shot. An arrow hitting the body is not as serious as one stabbing, and three knives are not as serious as the penetrating injury caused by one stabbing someone's body.

The short spears thrown out were like a spear piercing the body. Naturally, they were not comparable to the arrows shot by Matthew before.

Each of these war elephants screamed, but it also aroused their ferocity. They roared and rushed forward one by one, but in front of them were war elephants one after another. In normal times, they would naturally be able to avoid these war elephants, but under the severe pain, these war elephants had already lost their minds. Even Mu Lu, who was best at driving away beasts, could not control the war elephants on his crotch.

Boom!

More than a dozen war elephants collided in one place, and screams came one after another. The war elephants in the pit felt that the wooden thorns in the pit were inserted deeper into the wounds under the huge impact, and they let out feeble screams.

"What? This. How is this possible?"

The cheers of the Southern Barbarians stopped suddenly. Meng Huo and tens of thousands of Southern Barbarians stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence. They really didn't understand why the war elephants fell to the ground so quickly.

More than a dozen menacing war elephants fell down like this. The Xiliang army roared with joy, and their morale reached its peak.

Ma Teng laughed and said: "The whole army attacks and capture Meng Huo alive!"

"Capture Meng Huo alive!"

The 20,000 Xiliang army infantry and cavalry rushed out like fierce tigers descending the mountain. Everyone shouted "Capture Meng Huo alive" and rushed out like a torrent, like a black tide.

Before the Southern Barbarian Army could react, the Xiliang Army's vanguard had already charged forward aggressively and started fighting with the Southern Barbarian Army's vanguard.

"kill!"

Ma Teng had already made arrangements. The people placed in the front army formation were all brave men in the army, so they could still remain calm when facing the menacing war elephants. Now leading the army to charge, everyone is naturally unstoppable.

The southern barbarian soldiers in the front army let out screams one after another. Although they lived in the mountains and forests, they were brave by nature. But these Xiliang soldiers all rolled over in mountains of swords and seas of blood. Who is not proficient in killing skills?

The most important thing is that all the Xiliang soldiers are wearing armor and have strong protection. On the other hand, the Nanman soldiers on the opposite side are all bare-chested, and the oil paint on them cannot help them block the sharp weapons of the Xiliang army.

The production of the Southern Barbarians was backward, and their iron smelting technology could not keep up with that of the Central Plains. Many of the weapons held by the Barbarians were still made of stone. Even iron weapons could not be equipped for the entire army, let alone armor.

As a result, the troops of the Xiliang Army marched straight in, easily tearing apart the formation of the Southern Barbarians and killing all directions.

"Leader Meng, the enemy troops are brave, let's run!"

When Yong Kai saw how brave the Xiliang army was, his expression suddenly changed and he suggested to Meng Huo.

In fact, after the Xiliang army easily defeated tens of thousands of troops, Yong Kai was frightened. However, he did not expect that there were war elephant soldiers in the Southern Barbarian army. Therefore, Yong Kai followed Meng Huo. Behind him, he planned to use war elephant soldiers to deal with the Xiliang army.

Unexpectedly, the Xiliang army didn't even pay many casualties. They just dug a trap and killed the war elephant soldiers.

In fact, Meng Huo was still too young and had no experience in leading troops in combat, otherwise he would not have fallen for Ma Teng's tricks so easily.

"hateful!"

Meng Huo let out a low roar, and his eyes glowed red like wild beasts. He said in disbelief: "No, no, this is impossible. The War Elephant Soldiers are invincible in the world, how can they fail?"

While Meng Huo was speaking, the Xiliang army had already rampaged through the Nanman army, killing them until they were stunned and crying for their fathers and mothers.

"Come here, take Leader Meng away quickly!"

Yong Kai no longer had the ambition to rebel. He just wanted to save his life, so he turned around and ran away without saying a word.

When Yong Kai fled, he naturally had to take the three thousand soldiers under his command with him. When they all fled, the Southern Barbarian army was naturally infected quickly, and everyone lost their morale.

"Run quickly, it's important to save your life!"

Countless southern barbarian troops gave up resistance and ran away, not wanting any endless food, Shu brocade, or Han slaves. I just want to escape with my life.

"Damn it, whoever dares to escape, I will kill him!"

Seeing that the Nanman soldiers were trying to escape, Meng Huo was naturally very angry and hurriedly scolded his soldiers. However, the Nanman soldiers had a strong desire to survive and naturally ignored Meng Huo.

"Stop. Ouch!"

A tidal wave of Nanman soldiers came over. Meng Huo didn't pay attention. He was knocked to the ground by the tidal wave of Nanman soldiers and fell off his horse.

"Your Majesty!"

Dong Chana hurriedly helped Meng Huo up, and then advised: "The enemy's army is strong and they will be defeated today. It is better to escape back to Jianning for the time being and reorganize the troops."

Meng Huo was furious, but there were scattered soldiers and horses everywhere. He couldn't possibly defeat tens of thousands of Xiliang troops on his own, right?

Meng Huo said helplessly: "Okay, escape back to Jianning first, and then make plans."

So, under the protection of Dong Cha and other close associates, Meng Huo turned around and left.

But at this moment——

"Meng Huo, the thief, please stay alive!"
