Chapter 180 Elephants on the battlefield
"Hold on, I will hold on!"
Luo Jia turned around and saw Meng Tian slowly moving forward. The big Mongolian character looked down at everything on the battlefield. Under the banner, Meng Tian looked at her cold eyes and Luo Jia suddenly felt the pressure in the air.
"Li Bi, lead your men and horses to come forward desperately and let the war horses run!"
Luo Jia turned over and got off the horse, took off the light round shield on the horse's back, and temporarily started his old career.
The heavy cavalry under Luo Jia was carefully built by Meng Tian. Even if he was riding, he could still be used as an elite infantry.
The collective suicide of the Zhao army in front of the death row prisoners shocked the Qin army, but aroused the Zhao army's bloodthirsty desire. As soon as the two armies confronted each other, the Zhao army was desperate and sacrificed their lives, and the Qin army was almost defeated.
Meng Tian decisively ordered Meng Hu and Meng Bao to join the battle group, and put the flag of the commander at the most intense battle, personally took charge, and suppressed the situation.
The so-called generals have no desire to live, and a soldier has the ambition to die. The Qin soldiers who seemed a little panicked at the beginning turned around and the figure of the chief general Meng Tian was clearly visible, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
From time to time, arrows flew past Meng Tian, but Meng Tian was unmoved at all. Occasionally, a few arrows flew to Meng Tian. The ring-headed sword in his hand easily resolved the sneak attack of Zhao army archers.
"Some military books are arrogantly promoted. Only when the general is in danger can the soldiers fight to the death. It's so fucking nonsense!"
Meng Tian witnessed the fierce battle ahead and recalled Wu Qi's words. In a truly disciplined army, the chief general only needs to issue orders to leave the dangerous situation far away and ensure the smooth operation of the command system.
In ancient times, war was no different from modern society. The general died. Even the army in the upper hand would often become disorganized due to the loss of command and inevitably lead to a failure.
The Lord General takes the initiative to be in danger regardless of his own safety, which is just because of the special needs of the battle situation, and does not necessarily require the Lord General to do so.
Fortunately, Meng Tian has excellent martial arts skills and has personal guards around her, so there is no danger for the time being.
After a long time, the infantry led by Luo Jia and Meng Hu finally stabilized the front and began to launch a counterattack against the Zhao army. Li Bi and Meng Bao took advantage of the gaps in the battlefield to gallop and face the last elite cavalry of the Zhao army.
"The Qin Dynasty will win!"
"The State of Zhao will last forever!"
The two cavalrymen, like flying dragons and Meng Tigers, collided fiercely. The swords and swords were flying, and the soldiers on both sides were red in their eyes.
"The Qin people are good at fighting and are truly well-known. King Goujian of Yue used 3,000 prisoners to commit suicide in front of the Wu army, and defeated the Wu army in one battle, and King Helu of Wu died because of this..."
Hu Zhe handed the drumsticks into the hands of his personal soldiers, turned around, staring at the flags of the generals in the Qin army camp, feeling unwilling.
"The general does not need to blame himself. The soldiers under King Goujian of Yue gathered the elites of the entire Yue Kingdom. What's more, in order to shock the Wu army, Goujian arranged a total of 3,000 people to commit suicide."
The captain Peng stood aside and saw that Zhao army gradually showed his defeat. He stood on the platform and saw clearly.
When the Qin and Zhao armies confront each other, if the Zhao people cut down with a sword, the Qin army's round shield would come up. But if the Qin people slashed over with a knife, the Zhao army used a shield to block it, and often the shield and people were cut in half by the Qin army's ring-headed sword.
The cavalry's rushing to the battlefield, with the cavalry of the Zhao army, it should have defeated the Qin army cavalry who became a monk halfway. However, the captain Peng was surprised to see that many elite cavalry of the Zhao army fell off their horses. Instead, the Qin army cavalry with poor cavalry swayed left and right, and finally stopped steadily on the horse's back.
"General, it's time for me to lead the Xiang army to attack." Captain Peng came to his senses and asked Hu Zhe for battle: "The Qin army has the upper hand now. It is the time when he is full of ambition. The sudden attack of the Xiang army will definitely have a surprising victory."
"Success or failure, this is a success or failure. Peng, go and prepare first and wait for my order."
Hu Zhe patted the shoulder of the captain Peng and nodded solemnly. Captain Peng has followed Hu Zhe for more than ten years and is his confidant. If possible, Hu Zhe did not want Peng to take the risk.
"Transfer my order, and the infantry slowly retreated to the camp. The infantry located in the center was responsible for cutting off the rear and entangling the Qin army!"
Ci Bu is in charge of the soldiers, and Hu Zhe's eyes flashed with cold light, looking at everything on the battlefield calmly. The Zhao army soldiers died one by one on the battlefield. The Qin army roared and pressed towards the Zhao army camp step by step.
"It's close, it's close..."
Hu Zhe looked at the distance between the Qin army formation and the Zhao army camp. When the Qin army stepped fifty steps away, Hu Zhe suddenly pulled out the iron sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Peng, attack forward!"
The Zhao army's military camp only formed a circle of fences around it, which was not as good as the Qin army's fortress-style military camp. If the Qin army really came close to it, it would not be able to defend it at all. Hu Zhe could see clearly in his heart, and he had made up his mind to defeat the Qin army, and pressed on the huge creatures from the south.
"Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-D
The gate of the Zhao army camp suddenly opened wide, and the five elephants, as if drunk, shaking, swaying towards the battlefield where the two armies were fighting.
"Just rush forward and don't stop!"
The captain Peng Qi was on the back of a fat elephant, controlling the direction of the elephant's advance, and facing the Qin army's formation.
Zhao Jun, who was in charge of the rear, did not react at all. Under the thick thighs of the elephant, he became a pool of meat paste.
After trampling on the Zhao army soldiers standing in front of him, the elephant of the captain Peng fell from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of the Qin army.
The Zhao army, who was broken behind, blocked the Qin army's view. When the Qin army's vision reflected the huge body of an elephant, its thick and long nose was thrown up like a python.
The soldiers of the Zhao army rode on the back of an elephant, holding a three-meter-long halberd, hooking or pulling, caught the Qin army off guard.
"Oh my god, what is this?" a Qin army soldier shouted.
"Can people Zhao hired a wizard and called a divine object from the Yellow Emperor era?"
According to legend, when Huangdi fought against Yandi and Chiyou, he had tigers, leopards, bears and wrinkles under his command, and followed Huangdi's command.
People often have fears about unknown things. People who live in the north have never seen elephants from the south for many years, and they don’t know how to deal with them for a while.
The Qin army hesitated and did not dare to step forward. They were frightened by the elephant's long nose and thick thighs.
At this time, Hu Zhe personally led the personal guards and came out of the military camp.
Following the elephant, the morale of the Zhao soldiers quickly increased. Many Zhao soldiers had never seen an elephant, but as of now, this big, ugly and strong monster seemed to be on the side of Zhao State.
"With the divine beasts helping the battle, Zhao State will win!"
Many Zhao army soldiers thought this in their hearts.
"General, no, there were a few strange behemoths suddenly appearing in Zhao's army's formation!"
The Qin army formation began to retreat. Although it did not collapse, it seemed a little confused. Meng Bao held his hands on the horse's neck and was so tired that he was panting. He ran to Meng Tian and pointed to the direction of the Zhao army formation, as if he was still a little scared.
The war horse meets a trained war elephant and throws it off with one nose. No matter how powerful the war horse is, it can be dizzy or even a comminuted fracture. Meng Bao saw with his own eyes how the war horse that had been following him for many years was trampled to death by the monsters of the Zhao army.
That look is really miserable...
