General Qin

The elephant was severely beaten and his right eye was deeply penetrated by a halberd.

This giant beast did not die on the spot due to its strong vitality, but it had lost its mind under the severe pain.

It jumped on the spot first, and its thick hind limbs stepped on the Luo driver who was thrown off by it.

The man only let out a scream, and his stomach exploded under the foot of his car, with red, white, and black flying everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the injured elephant ran around like crazy and bumped into the butt of the elephant next to it. The bumped elephant's tail was attacked. In shock, it hit another elephant next to it.

Four or five elephants in a row were affected, causing a brief chaos in the elephant herd that was originally lined up to charge.

This scene shocked everyone who paid attention to the battlefield here.

"What a strong man!"

Counselor Cao praised greatly.

To have the courage to fight against a herd of elephants and to be able to throw a halberd thirty steps and hit an elephant in the eye is enough to prove that this person is far superior to ordinary people in terms of skill and courage. The single blow that disturbed the elephants is enough to mark him with a great merit.

Of course, the premise is that this Qin warrior who stands up to fight the elephant can save his life.

"Damn Qin people, how dare you hurt my giant elephant!"

King Luo also saw this scene, and he became furious instantly and shouted: "Death, die! I want this Qin man to die. I will trample him to death!"

Roar!

The Luo people had more than ten elephants in total. At this moment, four or five elephants were affected by Xiang Ji's attack and were disrupted. But the remaining elephants, scolded and whipped by their handlers, still rushed towards Xiang Ji and the right wing of the Qin army behind him.

"Brother Yu, run quickly!"

Liu Bang shouted from behind, and at the same time he spread his legs and ran around.

At this moment, the general Cao Shen asked the Qin army to disperse on the right wing and form a skirmish formation to fight against the elephant soldiers. The order of the enemy elephant soldiers had been conveyed by the loudspeaker. The Qin soldiers on the right wing could move around openly to avoid the charge of the elephant herds.

Of course, this is not to allow them to escape, but to spread out their formation and reduce the damage caused by the elephant herd. At the same time, the Qin soldiers also used their crossbows and weapons to attack the elephants from all directions and lead them to all directions to avoid impacting the Qin army's battle formation in the middle.

The Qin soldiers in the rear could escape, but Xiang Ji was too late.

There were only about twenty steps left between him and the charging elephants.

At this distance, it is impossible for a person to outrun an elephant. Once he turns around, he will be trampled into a pulp by these giant beasts in an instant.

Xiang Ji did not choose to dodge, but faced the elephants head-on, holding the machete tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

No matter how brave he is, he can't face the elephants head-on. You can imagine what will happen next.

But he was not afraid. Instead, his blood boiled all over and he roared: "Even if I, Xiang Ji, die here and cannot kill Zhao Tuo, I still want to let that old thief know my reputation!"

Xiang Ji stood in the dust, charging alone against the crowd. This scene fascinated countless people.

There are such strong men in the world!

"Cum for me!"

"Shoot them in the face!"

In that flash of lightning and flint, behind Xiang Ji, Han Xin had already rushed here with dozens of people, and at the same time issued the order to shoot.

The Qin soldiers brought by Han Xin raised special copper pipes and aimed at the charging elephants.

Behind him, Pao Ze lit the torch.

In an instant, sharp sounds sounded one after another.

Accompanying these harsh sounds, streaks of colorful flames burst out from the copper tubes.

Smoke filled the air.

The flames were very fast and hit the elephants instantly.

Brilliant brilliance exploded on the faces of these jungle beasts.

"What is this, how can it shine!"

King Alamo of Xiou, who was watching the show with his arms folded, changed his face slightly. He had never seen anything emitted from the copper tube held by the Qin people, which gave Alamo a bad premonition.

This Qin army was very different in equipment from the one they defeated before.

Compared with the surprise of King Xiou, King Luo became furious when he saw his elephant being shot in the face by a Qin man with an inexplicable object.

"It's useless. My giant elephant is invincible. It doesn't matter what you do. I will crush you!"

King Luo was very confident, because the elephant had thick skin and strong vitality. Even if it was shot by a crossbow, it would still have the strength to charge into battle.

But the scene that followed made him so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.

The elephants that were charging in groups under the command of their drivers were shot in the face by the flames, and instantly became a mess.

They howled in terror, or collided with each other in fear, or ran away in other directions.

No matter how much scolding and whipping the camel drivers on the elephant's back had, it had no effect.

At the same time, under Han Xin's order, Qin Zu fired a second round of shooting.

As screams sounded, brilliant flames bloomed, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the elephant herd.

All the elephants regarded the position of the Qin army as a dangerous place, and turned around and ran wildly. Even the elephant whose eye socket was inserted by Xiang Yu also crashed into the Luo army formation behind while wailing.

"It's a cloud-piercing arrow!"

There was a cheer from the Qin army formation.

Xiang Ji stared blankly ahead. The elephants that were charging towards him with great force just now scattered and fled, but he didn't react for a while.

As far as he knew, the Qin army's cloud-penetrating arrows only had the function of reporting a message and had no lethality. Why did Luo Yue's elephants all run away after being shot in the face? This thing was actually more powerful than his halberd. Still strong?

Behind the Qin army, General Cao Shen smiled.

"The general is right. Although these elephants are powerful, they are actually very timid. The cloud-piercing arrow is their nemesis."

"Luo Yue's elephant soldiers are nothing to be afraid of!"

The sharp sound when the cloud-piercing arrow is launched, the brilliance of the flames when it explodes, and the pungent smell of sulfur. Even if a warrior like Xiang Ji is shot a few times in the face, he will still be frightened, let alone These elephants are timid by nature.

Seeing that the elephant herd was defeated, the Luo people in the rear fell into chaos.

Cao Shen made a decisive decision and immediately ordered a part of the right wing to attack the Luo Yue people, and the remaining part immediately pressed against the Ou army in the center.

The Qin army will take advantage of the situation to counterattack!

The Ou people in front of the battle formation saw that the friendly forces they had placed hope in were defeated, and their morale collapsed instantly.

King Alamo of Xiou saw that the situation was not good and issued an order to retreat.

On the other side, Atu Gu, who was responsible for attacking the left wing of the Qin army, also ran away with his men when he saw that something was wrong.

"Kill me!"

Cao Shen raised his sword high and gave the order for a full-scale attack.

As the war drums beat, the Qin soldiers of various tribes began to chase the fleeing Yue people northward, turning the surprise attack launched by the Yue people into a pursuit battle for the Qin army to hunt down the remaining enemies.

…

At dusk, the Qin army withdrew its troops, and the whole battle came to an end.

After the military law officials counted after the war.

In this battle, the Qin army suffered about 300 casualties, and more than 2,000 Yue people were killed. This ratio can be called a great victory.

After all, Yue has a small number of soldiers, and a number of more than two thousand is already the entire combat strength of some medium-sized tribes.

The biggest gain of this battle was that the Qin army defeated Luo Yue's elephant soldiers with cloud-piercing arrows, which greatly improved the morale of the Qin soldiers and dealt a huge blow to the alliance between Luo Yue and Xiou.

The Qin army of only 5,000 men can achieve such results. When the general leads the army, won't it be overwhelming?

After the results of the battle were cleared up, General Cao Shen thought of the warrior who dared to fight against the elephants alone during the day.

He ordered the short halberd: "Call over the warrior who threw the short halberd during the day."
