General Qin

"elephant!"

"It's an elephant!"

Along with the earth-shattering roar of the elephant, Qin's soldiers screamed in horror.

The people of Qin have long known about the existence of elephants.

In the vast jungles of Fujian and South Vietnam, there are these giant beasts.

It's just that the Minyue and Nanyue people don't have the ability to tame elephants for fighting.

Therefore, when the Qin army conquered the two great Yue countries, they never fought against these giant beasts. At most, some people saw the passing elephants from a distance while marching in the jungle and exclaimed in surprise.

People who have never seen an elephant have heard Pao Ze talk about it and know that there is such a terrifying giant beast in Yue.

But I know, I know, I have seen it, I have seen it. At this moment, the Qin soldiers saw with their own eyes a dozen giant elephants swinging their huge bodies and crashing into them, and their majestic power seemed to crush everything.

Although the location where the elephant soldiers appeared was still hundreds of steps away from the Qin army's battle formation.

But the scene of these giant beasts standing in a line and charging towards the Qin army is still very scary.

Under this terrible pressure, the morale of the Qin soldiers who faced the charging elephants on the right wing of the Qin army immediately plummeted. Many people were trembling with fear, and some even instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.

This is a human's instinctive reaction when faced with an approaching giant beast.

Compared with the reactions of ordinary Qin soldiers, the two Qin generals in the rear had expressions that were indeed true.

"The general is really good at predicting things. After our army attacked Minyue and South Vietnam, the Luoyue people really couldn't sit still and brought these elephants to support Xiou." Cao Shen whispered.

When the Qin army went south to conquer Baiyue, it would naturally do a good job for several hundreds of countries.

They knew that there was a tribe in Baiyue that used elephants as their totem and was called the Xiang tribe.

These Yue people of the Elephant tribe have mastered the method of domesticating elephants, and the warriors of the tribe can control these giant beasts to fight. Its fighting power is extremely powerful and invincible.

The place ruled by the Xiang tribe was called Luoyue.

In addition to knowing some intelligence about Luo Yue in advance, the Qin army, the general Zhao Tuo, even judged that Luo Yue would be unable to hold back after witnessing the destruction of two large kingdoms by the Qin army and Xiou being crippled. If they come to support, they are likely to join forces with Xiou to fight the Qin army.

When Cao Shen's extraordinary troops came to the Ouyue border, they were actually tasked with detecting intelligence in order to prepare for the subsequent army conquest.

After this investigation, they indeed saw Luo Yue's elephant soldiers here.

The elephant soldiers charged into the formation with great momentum.

But since the general has judged that Luo Yue is likely to come to support, the Qin army will naturally formulate tactics to deal with Luo Yue's signature elephant soldiers.

"Han Xin!"

Cao Shen shouted that Han Xin had the means to deal with the elephant soldiers.

"clear!"

Han Xin responded loudly, and immediately turned around and took his personal guards to prepare methods to deal with the elephant soldiers.

But because of the sudden incident, they still need some time.

Cao Shen took a deep breath and turned to look at the battlefield. He needed to find a way to delay Han Xin's methods.

At this time, the Qin army's battle formation was locked in a fierce battle with the Ou people, but because Luo Yue's elephant soldiers rushed out of the forest on the right side of the Qin army, the Ou people who were entangled with the Qin army's right wing retreated after seeing this.

The Ou people were also afraid of being accidentally injured by friendly war elephants.

Their retreat completely exposed the Qin army's right wing.

As long as Luo Yue's elephant soldiers rush over, they will definitely scatter the Qin army's right wing, and the Qin people's dense phalanx will be broken.

Once the battle formation was broken, the elephant soldiers ran rampant in the Qin army's formation. They may not necessarily kill many Qin people, but the deterrence and destructive power were enough to collapse the morale of the Qin army and completely disrupt the Qin people's formation.

When the time comes, the Luo army following the Xiang soldiers will follow and rush into the formation. The Ou people who have retreated will also take the opportunity to cover up and attack, and they will definitely defeat the Qin army.

"Giant elephant, let me crush the Qin army!"

King Luo, who came out of the mountain forest, was very satisfied when he saw the galloping elephants and the fear of the people of Qin.

In addition to Luo Yue's elephant soldiers rushing towards the Qin army's right wing, tiger warriors led by A Tu Gu also emerged from the woods on the Qin army's left wing and took the opportunity to launch a charge.

When A Tu Gu saw the roar of the huge beast in the distance, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"This time we are attacking from three sides, and there are giant elephants helping us. Let me see what else you Qin people can do!"

As A Tu Gu said, the Qin army's battle formation at this moment was occupied by the Ou people on the front, the South Vietnamese Tigers on the left, and Luo Yue's elephant soldiers on the right. The situation was very unfavorable and almost in danger.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of Cao Shen, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it away.

"Shoot the elephants with your crossbow!"

"If the elephants are charging towards you, the right wing will spread out to form a skirmish formation and lure the elephants to go in other directions!"

Cao Shen issued orders one after another.

The power of the elephant herd's charge was so terrifying that even if the Qin army formed a battle formation, it would never be able to withstand it. It would be better to disperse on their own before being charged by the opponent, which would reduce casualties.

He hoped that after the right wing dispersed, he could hold the elephant herd for a while so that they would not rush straight into the middle of the Qin army, and at the same time buy Han Xin corresponding time.

However, before Cao Shen's order could be conveyed, something happened on the right wing of the Qin army.

First of all, without waiting for Cao Shen's order, the Qin army on the right wing was in fear. Many crossbowmen had already cocked their bows and fired at the elephant herd that was about a hundred paces away.

But something happened suddenly, and many Qin soldiers were frightened. The hands they used to string the bows were trembling, so the arrows they fired were sparse.

Some arrows hit the elephant. Not only did the thick-skinned beast not suffer much damage, but it was enraged by the arrows that penetrated its flesh. It opened its mouth and let out an angry roar, and at the same time ran faster.

Smoke and dust filled the air, the earth trembled, and the elephant herd was only about ninety steps away from the soldiers on the right wing of the Qin army.

"You can't stop it, run!"

Finally, someone in the Qin army couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts, shouted and prepared to turn around and run away.

Not everyone has the courage to resist the charge of a giant beast with their flesh and blood body.

But just as the fugitive turned around, a machete swung from behind and struck him directly on the back of the neck.

Bones were broken and blood spurted out.

"Military orders are like mountains. Anyone who dares to escape will die!"

Xiang Ji stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face and shouted: "Liu Bang, if anyone dares to escape without those elephants rushing over, you have to kill him first!"

Hearing this roar, he saw the deserter being beheaded by Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang trembled, took back his steps to escape, and shouted: "Nai Gong hates deserters the most. Whoever dares to escape will take Nai Gong's halberd first!"

After calming down his men who were trying to escape, Xiang Yu turned his head and stared at the elephants approaching eighty paces.

These giant beasts are nearly two people tall, with strong bodies and four legs that look like pillars supporting a house. Their long noses are waving powerfully in the air, and the huge fangs at the corners of their mouths are so dazzling that it hurts your eyes.

No wonder those Qin soldiers wanted to escape. Such terrifying beasts were not something ordinary people could deal with.

But Xiang Ji was not only not afraid, but also felt extremely excited.

"If I can kill an elephant, I will definitely be famous among the Qin army. Even Zhao Tuo will notice me then! Even if I don't have Gao Jue, I can still get close to him!"

Thinking of this, Xiang Ji felt that the blood in his body was burning.

Seeing that the giant elephant had approached seventy steps, the surrounding Qin soldiers once again had the idea of ​​​​escape in fear.

At the same time, an order came from General Cao Shen for the right-wing Qin army to prepare to disperse.

Xiang Ji didn't care, he only saw the figures of the giant beasts in the distance.

"I want to see Zhao Tuo and kill the elephant!"

He growled, reached out and grabbed a short halberd from the hand of a Qin soldier next to him.

Xiang Ji held a machete in one hand and a halberd in the other and took the initiative to meet the charging elephants.

"Yu... Chief! What are you doing?"

Liu Bang was shocked when he saw this scene, and secretly thought that his brother had gone crazy?

When the elephant herd was charging and the Qin troops on the right wing wanted to retreat, suddenly a Qin army commander wearing a plate crown rushed out and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

General Cao Shen looked at this scene with some surprise.

"There is such a brave man in our army. Does he want to use his flesh and blood to stop the elephants?"

On the other side, King Alamo of Xiou saw this scene and said with a sneer: "Charging at the elephants? It seems that this Qin man has been frightened. Haha, I didn't expect that there are such fools in the world."

King Luo also saw this scene, patted his belly and laughed: "Hahaha, look, this Qin man is about to turn into meat. My king's giant elephant is invincible!"

The next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly.

In the middle of the battlefield, the Qin army commander who took the initiative to run against the elephants suddenly let out a loud roar when he was about thirty steps closer to the giant elephants.

"I want to make a contribution!"

Xiang Ji roared angrily, his eyes wide open, clearly reflecting the giant elephant directly opposite him, as well as the figure of the Luo Yue warrior on the elephant's back.

"Die!"

With a roar, Xiang Ji waved his right arm and used all his strength to throw the short halberd he grabbed at the giant elephant.

Whoosh!

The short halberd flew through the air with strong wind under the huge force, and shot into the eye socket of the giant elephant in an instant.

Ouch.

This giant elephant's eyes were blown out and it let out a loud wail.

Stimulated by severe pain and fear, it stood up and threw the Luo driver off its back.

Everyone watching this scene was stunned.

He shot his halberd at thirty steps and exploded the elephant's eye with one blow.

Han Xin, who had already prepared some means to deal with the elephants with his short-term soldiers, was on his way. When he saw this scene from a distance, he was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Han Xin looked at the tall and strong body in front of the elephants and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Whose subordinate is this, so brave!"
