Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Wang Zhi is about to enter middle age, but his face is beardless, his skin is still fair and delicate, his red lips are very thin, and his whole person exudes a somewhat sinister air.

He never thought that he was a good person, but he also didn't think that anyone in this world except the emperor deserved to die.

Wang Zhi was wearing the imperial python robe today and was riding a tall horse on a hillside, with a cavalry from the northeast behind him.

Although there were only 10,000 troops in this expedition against the Baigu Kingdom, they were actually all elites mobilized, and even the all-conquering Northeast heavy cavalry were sent here.

boom……

Eight hundred war elephants, driven by the elephant soldiers, were rushing towards them, getting closer and closer to them.

Three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

…

Seeing the elephants getting closer and closer, even Wang Zhendong's son Wang Hu couldn't help but feel frightened. He was even more frightened than seeing the Mongolian cavalry.

Although the Northeast heavy cavalry has been successful in recent years, but this time they really have to face this 800 elephant cavalry, they really don't have much chance of winning.

Ye Mangan rode one of the few ancient white horses behind him, holding up his spear with a ferocious expression and saying: "Come on, trample all these Ming people into a pulp!"

Moo...

As if they could understand human speech, eight hundred elephants were roaring and charging towards the Ming Dynasty's military formation, trying to crush everything with their huge, thick-skinned bodies.

One hundred meters!

Ninety meters!

Eighty meters!

…

Although the mercenaries in front were already in disarray, and some had even fled, the main formation of the Ming army was as motionless as a mountain, facing the elephant herd that was shaking the ground.

"What are they going to do?"

"Then...what is that?"

"No, everyone, cum quickly!"

…

The elephant soldiers sat on the elephant's back, so the elephant soldiers in front had a good view. After observing the strange behavior of the Ming army in front, some elephant soldiers realized the danger and hid in the shelter on the elephant's back.

"Prepare!"

Wang Qingqing stood at the front of the team, holding the flag in his hand expressionlessly.

The well-trained Ming soldiers behind him have raised their flintlock guns, and the flintlock guns are shining with cold light. Each soldier is like a god of war made of steel, standing tall and staring ahead.

Although the herd of 800 elephants was approaching fiercely, they could feel the shaking of the earth when they raised their guns, but their hearts were not affected at all.

Countless drills and inhuman torture time and time again have already made them despise life and death. What's more, they now have a sharp weapon in their hands, but they may not lose.

On the opposite side, Bai Gu's elephant herd was like a moving city wall. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps shaking the earth and mountains, they were rolling towards the Ming army formation. Especially, they had already rushed in front of the shield soldiers.

"shooting!"

When Wang Qingwu saw that the elephants had entered his shooting range, he immediately waved the flag in his hand and looked fearlessly at the approaching elephant cavalry.

boom! boom! boom!

At the command a volley of flintlock muskets was fired.

In an instant, fire shot into the sky and the sound of gunshots was deafening.

"Hide quickly!"

The elephant soldiers usually used their own bows and arrows to cooperate with the elephants, but after seeing the Ming army's flintlock guns, they immediately retreated into the bunker, intending to use the bunker to block this weird hidden weapon.

Bullets poured out like a torrential rain, but the Elephant Cavalry obviously misjudged the situation.

puff! puff! puff!

Although many bullets hit the bunker, the bullets could not penetrate the iron-clad bunker, but more bullets accurately penetrated the eyes of the elephants.

Moo!

The eyeballs of the leading elephant exploded, blood spattered, and the elephant wailed. Those arrogant giant elephants struggled painfully under the gunfire of the Ming army and completely lost control.

Originally, the eight hundred war elephants were like a torrent of human shields, but after the Ming army's bullets blew out the eyeballs of the elephants in front, the elephants in front stood uncontrollably or turned around and collided.

No matter how domesticated these war elephants are, the animal's instinct is bestiality, and it is impossible for the war elephants at this moment to obey their master's instructions obediently.

ah……

The Elephant Cavalry, who was lucky enough to be hiding in the bunker just now, felt that he was suddenly in a stormy sea, and then his body rose into the air and was thrown out.

boom!

The elephant cavalry fell heavily to the ground, and their whole bodies seemed to fall apart. However, before they could call for help, they saw a huge black shadow falling from the sky.

Crunch…

An eight-ton war elephant was injured and went crazy. A thick leg stepped on the head of an elephant soldier thrown from nowhere, and then headed towards the royal city.

As the bullets continued, more and more elephants fell into madness, and more and more elephant soldiers were thrown to the ground.

As the war elephant went berserk, the elephant soldiers on the ground could not escape at all. Each of the elephant soldiers could only watch the war elephant's feet falling from the sky, and then completely lost all consciousness.

Moo!

The war elephant herd has completely lost control. The particularly blind war elephants want to destroy the world, and even target the humans on their backs.

Some elephant soldiers used straw ropes to tie themselves tightly to the backs of their tusks. This was originally a smart idea, but when the war elephants went berserk, many elephant soldiers were thrown to the ground and then dragged alive by their own war elephants. die.

The elephants fell into chaos, and blood spread from the elephants.

"kill!"

Suddenly, a war elephant appeared to be particularly brave and broke through the rain of bullets set by the Ming army. It had already broken out of the chaos and was heading towards the Ming fusilier army with a spear in hand.

not good!

When he saw this unusual number, Lin Cheng's heart immediately rose to his throat.

puff!

This is an elephant rider, wearing armor, holding a spear and thrusting it at a Japanese samurai who came up, piercing the chest of the Japanese samurai, and blood scattered on the ground.

"Northeast Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world, kill!"

Faced with this anomaly, Wang Zhendong immediately asked Wang Zhi for help, and then led his Northeast Cavalry to charge forward.

He was originally a general, and his father was only one step away from the earl. This time he was ordered to come to the Indian Ocean for reinforcements, not only to promote the prestige of the Northeast Iron Cavalry, but also to show his demeanor as a royal general.

Now faced with this anomaly, he didn't mind risking his life and killed this person directly.

"court death!"

The one who broke in was General Xiangqi, one of the leaders of this Xiangqi army. Now that he saw the Ming Dynasty cavalry approaching, he snorted disdainfully and put on his bow and arrow to meet Wang Hu.

Countless battles have proven that their elephant cavalry is stronger than their cavalry, and can even absolutely crush the cavalry.

call out!

Wang Hu knew very well that the eyes were the weak point of the war elephant, and he also knew the subtlety of shooting men first and horses. When he saw the giant elephant's copper bell-like eyes, he drew his bow and prepared to shoot hard.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiangqi will see through the opponent's intention and immediately stand up and shoot at Wang Hu first.

call out!

Facing the threat of death, Wang Hu was also confused. Although he hastily shot an arrow at the war elephant's eye, it was far from the war elephant's eye.

It can be seen that Burmese soldiers and war elephants are more like combat partners, cooperating with each other.

Bang!

The elephant rider drew his bow and shot an arrow one step ahead of Wang Hu, and the arrow hit Wang Hu's body.

Fortunately, Wang Hu's armor was thick enough. After feeling the impact of the arrow, the arrow only left a mark on the armor.

Although the body is covered with armor, the armor of heavy cavalry has always been of excellence. This is also a factor that few dynasties can afford to maintain heavy cavalry armies.

puff!

An arrow came without any warning, but before the pride on the elephant rider's face dissipated, the arrow penetrated his neck, and he fell down with reluctance in his eyes.

In terms of individual combat power alone, the Elephant Cavalry Commander is stronger.

It's just that the Ming heavy cavalry now occupies an absolute numerical advantage, and the Ming heavy cavalry has no shortage of sharp archers. Just one war elephant general rushing towards them will simply lead to death.

After losing the command of the war elephant general, the war elephant did not dare to continue charging towards the flintlock formation. Instead, its right eyeball was shot open.

Moo!

After letting out a scream, the war elephant threw the war elephant on its back to the ground, then turned around and fled.

"No, don't turn around, don't let the war elephant turn around!"

Yemangan fought according to tradition and was leading 20,000 infantrymen to follow the war elephant herd. However, when he saw the war elephant herd suddenly turning back, he shouted in panic.

Everyone else knew how terrifying it was for the war elephants to change direction, so the elephant soldiers in the rear also arranged the emotions of the war elephants, hoping to calm the war elephants down.

Boom!

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise on the hillside in front.

The dark barrel spurted out tongues of flame, and eight shells rose into the air one after another, and then hit the herd fiercely.

A lead bullet weighing fifteen kilograms rose into the air, as if it had eyes. The lead bullet fell heavily into the herd of elephants and hit a war elephant on the head.

boom!

The lead bullet hit the ear of a war elephant. This giant was not an iron wall, but blood spattered on the left side of its face, and then it fell heavily.

Moo...

War elephants are all spiritual. Seeing their companions fall, the war elephants immediately fell into chaos and realized that the danger was getting closer and closer to them.

Boom!

There was another loud bang, and the lead bullet caught everyone's attention because it was heading towards the distinctive figure among the elephants.

White elephant is not only a rare species, but also a belief of the Burmese people.

The reason why the white elephant appears on the battlefield this time is to use the white elephant to boost morale, trying to stimulate the Baigu army to annihilate the Ming army with minimal battle losses.

boom!

The lead bullet seemed to have long eyes. The lead bullet headed towards the white elephant's forehead, causing the white elephant's forehead to burst immediately and blood splattered.

This attack was even stronger. It could at least let out a cry just now, but after being hit this time, the sacred white elephant fell silently.

The white elephant's skull was shattered, and a piece of blood spilled from its mouth and ears. It was almost impossible for a god to save him.

"The sacred elephant was hit?"

"No... the Holy Elephant can't die!"

"There must be something wrong, Holy Elephant is invincible!"

…

The Baigu Kingdom is a country filled with the light of faith, and everyone in the Baigu Army has faith, and has always regarded the Baixiang as a sacred object.

But now they suddenly saw the holy elephant they had always believed in fall on the battlefield, and was killed in one blow, as if the whole person had been sucked out of his soul.

The death of Bai Xiang left them with no hope of winning.

"How can this be?"

Yemangan, who was riding on horseback, saw the white elephant collapse with his own eyes. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he just muttered to himself.

"The elephants are going crazy!"

"We can't escape if we don't run away!"

"Quick, the elephants are coming back towards us!"

…

After seeing the elephant herd being bombarded by artillery shells, the 20,000 Baigu soldiers turned around and rushed back uncontrollably.

Originally, they were still hesitant to retreat. When they made the decision, the speed of the elephants exceeded their imagination and they were rushing towards them in groups.

"kill!"

Lin Cheng did not miss this opportunity. Instead, he borrowed Burmese traditional warfare methods and used the elephant herd to defeat the enemy's battle formation, and then followed the elephant herd to harvest lives.

The mercenaries who had fled away were well aware of Wang Zhi's methods. When they saw the situation of the battle suddenly turning around, they all ran back to harvest the lives of Bai Gu soldiers.

puff!

puff!

puff!

The slow-running Baigu soldiers were trampled under the feet of the elephants one after another. Even if these people were lucky enough to escape a war elephant, hundreds of elephants came from behind and crushed them, and they soon turned into piles of meat.

The reason why elephants are regarded as magic weapons by the Burmese people is because of their terrifying trampling ability. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be paralyzed.

Screams continued to be heard.

The military formation, which had just a total of 20,000 people, was trampled by the elephants and their own people, and the number of casualties exceeded 5,000. Although the 15,000 troops still had the upper hand, the military formation had already been routed.

kill!

Wang Hu led the Northeast heavy cavalry and was acting as a vanguard to kill the fleeing Baigu soldiers.

In the northern battlefield, their heavy cavalry could only serve as the main force, but now facing the two-legged Bai Gu soldiers, their mobility advantage was also demonstrated.

The Northeast heavy cavalry had never fought such an easy battle. They had heavy armor on their bodies for defense, and a long sword in their hands. They could easily chase down the two-legged Bai Gu soldiers on horseback.

The Baigu soldiers had already been overheard, and the situation was now one-sided. The 10,000 Ming troops were frantically harvesting the remaining 15,000 Baigu infantry, like a wolf entering the flock of sheep.

puff!

Yemangan knew that he had no way to save his life, but he chose to commit suicide.

The fewer and fewer Baigu soldiers were terrified. They wanted to escape, but in this chaotic trampling, countless lives were harvested as easily as ears of wheat.

The 20,000-strong army that had set off for the expedition seemed so vulnerable to the iron hooves of the Ming army at this moment. After only half an hour, they were almost completely wiped out.

Baigucheng, royal palace.

A group of important ministers were waiting for news here. When they learned that two infantry soldiers had been almost completely wiped out by the Ming army, their eyes widened with disbelief and despair on their faces.

"Amitabha!"

Knowing that there was nothing he could do to save himself this time, the ancient king Bodhidharma Siti first spurted out a mouthful of blood, then clasped his hands together, and then died on the throne.

Wang Zhi took advantage of the emptiness of the royal city and personally led his troops into the royal city.

But what the Ming Dynasty needed was the Indian Ocean Governor's Palace. This royal city was still too far from the port, so after supporting a six-year-old puppet Queen Baigu, he led his troops back to Motama Bay. (End of chapter)
