Chapter 504

This made Long Qi's heart stutter. He thought to himself, could these people really be able to communicate with the elephant? If that was true, I would be a little trouble this time.

When Long Qi thought of this, he couldn't help but look back and found that the infantrymen of the Mauryan Dynasty, who were chasing their own people, had basically stopped in place, silently watching the scene of the elephants slaughtering one after another in front of him. Obviously, they were also very panicked about these elephants.

At this time, he relied heavily on a general's on-the-spot judgment ability. Long Qi observed the current situation he was facing and combined with the goals set by Xiang Yu for himself before. He knew that this was where Xiang Yu and Han Xin were ambushing in the subsequent battles. He also knew that there were countless possibilities for the battle this night. He might be wiped out and he might return in vain, so that the true strength of the 100,000 cavalry was exposed to the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty.

Of course, it is also possible to cause great losses to the other party’s army of 300,000. It is also possible to end this war this night, break through the gate of the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, and capture the king in the city alive!

Which result you achieve depends on your decision, whether you can achieve the effect you expected in Xiang Yu, causing the other party to suffer heavy losses before Xiang Yu and Han Xin intervened.

"Speed ​​the order quickly. You must wait until the elephants that came out of the barracks rushed out before escaping. Once the elephants rushed up, they would go around from the direction of the city and go behind the infantry chasing us! At the same time, they should carefully observe how those sergeants of the Mauryan Dynasty were using to control the elephants, and quickly inform me once they found out!"

Long Qi had already set a strategy for the 20,000 Hun cavalry he led, and shouted loudly at the several deputy generals behind him.

"General, if we go around the side of the city, I'm afraid that the people on the arrow tower will shoot arrows at us. If they enter their range, they will definitely be damaged!"

Everyone has already seen the current form very clearly. A deputy general couldn't help but remind that the several arrow towers around the capital are not just for observation. Each towering arrow tower has several floors, and each floor is a small team of archers. At this time, the battle is ready.

The cavalry that Long Qi was carrying had been cruising outside their range before, but this time, if Long Qi really said, it would definitely be within his range. If he ran like this, there would definitely be any killing. If the Mauryan Dynasty had objects similar to the Qin crossbow of the Great Qin Dynasty, the killing would not be small.

But the reason why Long Qi made such a decision was naturally his purpose. In the face of his deputy general's doubts, he just refuted coldly, then waved his hand and signaled several deputy generals to quickly convey his meaning.

Soon, one by one, the elephants walked out of the camp, and Long Qi kept counting, with a total of about a hundred. These elephants were all adult wild elephants, and all with long fangs. Once they touched, they didn't know how they died.

After the elephant came out, a low voice suddenly came from the direction of the elephant. Long Qi was stunned at first, and then hurriedly gave the order. Many cavalrymen turned their horse's heads and ran towards the direction that Long Qi had set before.

The sound was indeed blown by every person riding on the back of an elephant. The purpose was naturally to command the elephants. The cavalry responded so quickly, but they didn't expect that these elephants had not been pulled out for a long time. At this time, they were very physically strong. They believed that in no time, the cavalry of Long Qi would be hit by their elephants and scattered.

The direction of Long Qi running with the team was approaching the direction of an arrow tower? When the people on the arrow tower saw this situation, they all set their bows and arrows, ready to shoot. And many generals of the Mauryan Dynasty who were watching this scene from afar were relieved, thinking that this elephant was really different.

Originally, these cavalry were so powerful, but when they saw the elephant, they started to run away in panic before they could wait for anything. They ran to the range of the Arrow Tower. Can they still have good fruits to eat? Before the elephant could catch up, they were shot to death by the Arrow Tower first.

But what they didn't see clearly was that Long Qi's deputy generals had already ordered that their team might suffer from arrow rain. Almost every Hun cavalry was blocking their heads with a small shield. These were the standard equipment in the six thousand sets of armor that Ying Gao sponsored to Xiang Yu.

When the six thousand sets of armor arrived, Xiang Yu asked Yu Ziqi to choose useful things according to the needs of his cavalry, and this exquisite little shield was one of them. Unexpectedly, it was really useful at this time.

If Ying Gao was here, he would really find that the foundation of the Mauryan Dynasty was actually better than that of himself. Although the armor and weapons in their hands had not developed much for decades, they were actually not inferior to those equipped by the elite Qin Dynasty today. However, the only difference was that even the crossbow was the bow and crossbow. The Mauryan Dynasty did not have as much effort and exquisite as the Qin crossbow, so the rain of arrows came even smaller than the dragon and imagined.

But even so, even though many cavalry had already done a lot of protection in advance, many people still did not escape this wave of arrow rain. After all, the arrows shot from high altitude are not a joke. If they really hit a person, the impact force alone could bring the person from the horse to the ground. So at this time, the cavalry under Long Qi began to suffer casualties.

This scene also made the Mauryan dynasty soldiers breathe a sigh of relief, because the 20,000 cavalry had killed their infantry so much that they were not left behind. In their eyes, such a cavalry was very difficult to defeat. But now, in just half an hour, such a myth was shattered.

But of course they didn't know that such casualties were prepared by Long Qi, so he was preparing to withstand this wave. Because after withstanding this wave, although the elephants behind him were closer to their cavalry, their location was closer to the walls of Fahrenheit City. More importantly, while chasing them, the elephants also approached Fahrenheit City, and at the same time approached the infantrymen who had been hiding far away and watching the lively feast.

At this time, neither the infantry on the arrow tower nor the underground did not feel their danger. In their eyes, this team of cavalry was already panicked. The next step would be to pass the next arrow tower and lose one or two thousand people. Then they would be caught up by the elephant, and then the impact would be broken, causing the cavalry of the Mauryan Dynasty following behind the elephant to become scavengers.

However, the dream scenes of the people of the Mauryan Dynasty did not appear. Although they suffered some losses and seemed to be extremely hasty, just after passing the Arrow Tower, under the leadership of Long Qi, the remaining cavalry's route suddenly changed.

Instead of continuing to go down to the range of another prepared arrow tower, they began to circle out of the city. If someone could sit on the helicopter and look down at this time, they would find that Long Qi was trying to go around behind the infantrymen who were watching the fun.

However, when such changes were just formed, neither the elephants following behind nor the infantrymen noticed it. One was that it was still quite dark outside at this time. Long Qi led the army to not light the torch, but just ran in the dark. The other was that they did not think that it was the route that Long Qi arranged in advance.

The impact of the elephant is indeed very powerful, but when the sergeant who controlled the elephant found that the dragon and had turned, he could only temporarily stop the elephant and then adjust the direction. This stop and adjustment undoubtedly wasted some time, making them farther away from the cavalry that was about to catch up with.

But not long after, the form of pursuit was formed again without such a situation.

At this time, Long Qi was very anxious. Half of his plan had passed, but he needed to know one thing. If he didn't know about it, the plan would basically not be completed.

Just as Long Qi was about to go to the back to perform this matter in person, a deputy general covered his arm and rode his horse to Long Qi with a grimace, but his face was very excited.

"General, those people from the Mauryan Dynasty controlled the direction of the elephant's progress by riding a musical instrument played by people on the back of an elephant. There was a person sitting on the back of each elephant. If this person could be killed, the elephant would immediately lose control!"

This discovery was made by the deputy general who led a team of dozens of people deliberately dragged behind and observed, and finally paid the lives of almost all the people who followed him, and finally saw how they controlled the elephant. After rushing over in the rain of arrows, he immediately informed Long Qie of the news.

After hearing this, Long Qi frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that the person who controlled the elephant would ride on the elephant's back. This was definitely a big challenge for what he wanted to do. But at this point, he knew that he was already in a difficult situation, so he thought for a while and said this to the deputy general.

"You will take everyone here to run away according to the route you have planned before. No matter what happens in the middle, you must take the team to the position I have set before!"

After saying this, Long Qi was anxious that his closest confidant two or three hundred cavalrymen gradually slowed down and left the team. Soon after, he reached the end of the team.

The deputy general thought carefully and suddenly understood what Long Qi was going to do, but it was too late to dissuade him. Seeing Long Qi and his group disappear into the night, he could only hope that Long Qi would complete this smoothly.

In a blink of an eye, Long Qi and his men arrived at the end of the team. At this time, the elephants had already started running again and were getting closer to their team. Long Qi summoned the two hundred people to him and told them about his thoughts, all these people showed a solemn expression on their faces, but none of them wanted to retreat.

"We have only had one chance to wait. If we cannot complete most of the 100 elephants, our 100,000 army will fail this time!"

Finally, after Long Qi said this, everyone beside him nodded. Obviously, they knew the importance of this attack and the responsibilities they were about to take on in the future.

After saying this, Long Qi and the two hundred people made an amazing move in the dark night. They gave up the most important thing for the cavalry, which was the war horse, and then hid their bodies in the darkness, looked at the direction behind them, and waited for the arrival of the elephants who were getting closer and closer.

At this time, the Mauryan sergeants who were observing the arrow tower found something wrong.

"If they follow their escape direction, wouldn't they lead the elephant to where my Mauryan infantry are?"

"It's okay, my Mauryan Dynasty has very proper control over the elephants. Now they only have less than 20,000 cavalry left. Even if they rush into the infantry, the elephants don't need to continue chasing them. My Mauryan Dynasty infantry can destroy them directly!"

As time goes by, many people have discovered this problem, but most of them have this idea and are extremely confident about the elephants of their dynasty.

In the end, the elephant became closer and closer to the Hun cavalry, but at the same time, the Hun cavalry also moved around the side of nearly 100,000 infantry who chased them before the Mauryan Dynasty. These infantry obviously had discovered the intentions of the Hun cavalry and were ready to fight one by one.

They all knew that the critical moment was coming, and at this time the soldiers who were riding on the elephant to control these giants were basically ready. Because it involved their own people, they just needed to use elephants to block the cavalry, and then let the cavalry behind them close the door and their infantry to fight the dogs, and it would be no problem to eliminate less than 20,000 cavalry.

However, the huge elephant's figure and the darkness of the night made them not discover a problem.

When the Hun cavalry really reached their crossroads, the Mauryan sergeants sitting on the elephant knew it was time and could not let the elephants run back and forth like this. So they picked up the flute in their hands and prepared to blow the order to stop the elephant from stopping.
