At the foot of Haiyun Ridge, the Chinese army set up camp and captured Annan people nearby, trying to understand the landform pattern of Haiyun Ridge.

It was a pity that Ruan's troops fled south and tricked the people into fleeing together. Those who did not escape were full of hostility towards the Chinese army. After long inquiries to no avail, the main attack direction could only be at Haiyun Pass.

The soldiers and horses came from a long distance, and this place was already in the extreme south. They had left the gathering place. The Chinese army had very little understanding of the surrounding environment. There were swamps and miasma forests everywhere, and many of the soldiers were not accustomed to the local environment.

After resting for two days, the Chinese army reorganized their troops and began to attack Haiyunguan, led by Zhang Wuyang. Wan Jun led Zheng Chenggong, Wei Kuangguo and others to advance with the Chinese army.

The mountains in Haiyunling are steep and the mountain roads are difficult to navigate. Not long after the march, there were sudden roars and curses from the front of the team. Soon soldiers came to report, and many bodies were hung on the trees in front of them.

When Wan Jun and others passed by, they found that there were indeed many corpses hanging on the trees. Many of the corpses were mutilated and were left behind when the Zheng army attacked Haiyun Pass a few days ago.

Zheng Chenggong recognized the hanging soldiers and became furious, "Damn it, I swear I won't be a human unless I take revenge!"

Wanjun ordered people to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers. At this moment, the forward was suddenly attacked by the Annamites. The two armies fought in one place. The two sides fought with swords on the mountain road. There were also many Annamites hiding in the jungle.

arrow.

Three or five musketeers gathered together and fired into the forest. Unfortunately, due to the terrain, the firepower could not be used. Zhang Wuyang rushed forward with his guards, waving long swords, and fought with the Annan people.

The Huaxia Army was not like the Zheng Army. Although the terrain was narrow, after the fight, the soldiers who were close together still gathered together to form a formation. The Annan soldiers who rushed up were often unable to resist and were killed by weapons slashed from left to right. After a while, the Annan soldiers fought

Seeing that they couldn't take advantage, they quickly retreated into the dense forest after leaving the corpses on the ground.

Zhang Wuyang rectified his troops and stopped advancing. He protected the Chinese army and collected the fallen soldiers. Seeing the corpses of the Annan people, he became furious and ordered his men to drag all the Annan people on the ground over and hang them in the same place.

After everything was done, Zhang Wuyang spat, "What a stupid Annan monkey!"

After waiting for more than half an hour, everyone headed up the mountain again. When they arrived at a mountain pass, the ground was faintly tinged with blood. Zheng Chenggong said, "Be careful, this is where we were. The Annan people killed and injured many brothers here in the past few days!"

Before he finished speaking, a large group of Annan people came out. This time Zhang Wuyang had experience and ordered the spearmen in front. Three or two people assisted each other in attacking from behind, and the musketeers shot at the Annan people from behind.

The Annan soldiers leaned on the ground and rushed towards the Chinese army. The Chinese soldiers were not afraid and fought bloody battles close to the Annan soldiers. The spearmen raised their guns at an angle and stabbed the Annan soldiers in the chest.

The distance was only about ten steps. At this distance, the musketeers could hit almost wherever they pointed. Every time a gunshot was fired, an Annamite would fall to the ground and roll down the slope.

The Chinese army will not be polite. No matter whether they are dead or not, as long as they come close, they will stab them directly in the neck.

The Annan people could not resist and began to retreat one after another. The Chinese army took advantage of the situation and rushed up from the narrow road. The terrain on the mountain road was slightly gentler and the mountain road was much wider. A large group of Chinese army rushed up with shouts.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar of animals, and fifteen or six elephants rushed out from the road blocked by the dense forest. There were two or three Annan people sitting on each elephant, and some of them were facing the Chinese army.

Throwing short spears, some fired guns at the Chinese army.

Here is the mountain

Although the road was slightly spacious, fifteen or six elephants rushed up and it instantly became crowded. The Annamites followed the elephants and attacked the Chinese army together.

The Chinese army wielded their spears and stabbed at the elephants, but the elephants had rough skin and thick flesh, and the spear points could only sting the elephants, but instead angered the elephants, making them more ferocious!

The Chinese troops in the vanguard could not resist. Some were trampled to death by elephants, and some were pushed down the mountain. They were immediately defeated and retreated to the rear. Upon seeing this, Zhang Wuyang hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw. Ten thousand troops had no choice but to retreat with the Chinese army.

.

After retreating below, the musketeers lined up in front of the Chinese army and fired in vain into the mountains. The branches in the mountains were broken and earth and rocks were scattered.

Zheng Chenggong said, "It's a pity that our success fell short. Our army did not see the elephant soldiers in the past few days!"

Wan Jun said, "The mountain road below is difficult to navigate, and the elephant soldiers are of limited use, so naturally they will not be used. The elephant soldiers on the hillside are blocked and it is impossible to pass. We must find a way to defeat the enemy."

Everyone was lost in thought for a moment, and Zheng Chenggong said, "Elephants are timid. If they are on flat ground, the sound of a round of gunfire can scare away the elephants."

Zhang Wuyang was guarding Yunnan and naturally understood the target soldiers, "But the musketeers on the mountain road were unable to line up and fire a volley. The sound of our muskets just now couldn't scare the elephants at all!"

Wei Kuangguo suddenly said, "I remembered that when Alexander the Great went on an expedition to India, he fought with the Indian elephant soldiers. It is said that they threw spears to kill the people riding the elephants. The elephants lost control and then died.

Trample each other."

Zhang Wuyang thought about it and said, "It seems like this. There were several Annan people on the elephant just now, some with guns and spears, and one with nothing."

Wei Kuangguodao, "The one who does not hold a weapon is the one who controls the elephant!"

Zhang Wuyang said happily, "Let's stew some meat tonight if I don't dismantle these elephants!"

After knowing the method, Zhang Wuyang quickly returned to the front army, reorganized his troops and horses, and came to the musketeer formation. Zhang Wuyang said loudly, "Brothers, the time for revenge has come. Remember when you go to kill, don't kill the elephant when you see it."

If you are afraid, the person controlling the elephant is sitting on the back of the elephant. If one of the two or three people is not holding a weapon, you just kill that person first. If no one controls the elephant, the elephant soldier will be defeated!"

The musketeers immediately shouted, "This is your order!"

"Kill the fucking elephant!"

Zhang Wuyang gave an order, and the Chinese army marched towards the mountain road again.

Probably because they did not expect the second wave of offensive to come so soon, the Annan people panicked and resisted in the narrow place for a while, and then hurriedly retreated to the mountain road.

The Chinese army moved towards the mountain road and Zhang Wuyang squeezed forward from the crowd and followed them to the mountain road.

As expected, the Annan people repeated their old tricks and sent out elephant soldiers once again. The Annan soldiers who retreated were greatly boosted in morale. They shouted and followed the elephant soldiers and came towards the Chinese army.

Zhang Wuyang raised his eyes and took a closer look. There were two or three Annan soldiers on the elephant. There was indeed a manipulator who was not holding a weapon. He was pulling the reins and driving the war elephant forward.

Zhang Wuyang pointed at the person on Xiang's body, "That's the one, the musketeers beat him down!"

In order to ensure the hit rate, two musketeers aimed at one control hand and fired at the same time!

"Bang bang" two gunshots were heard, and Zhang Wuyang saw the Annan man who was controlling the elephant, with two flowers of blood bursting out from his chest, his mouth wide open in disbelief, his head tilted, and he fell down.

But expected

The scene in the video did not happen. The elephant did not lose control and was still rushing towards this direction. Zhang Wuyang asked strangely, "How could it not work?"

But soon, Zhang Wuyang discovered some clues. The elephant was somewhat different from the surrounding elephant soldiers. The route was closer to the right. It was crowded next to the elephant next to it, and its long trunk was waving anxiously at its back.

.

Zhang Wuyang understood that it was not that they were ineffective, but that these elephants had been tamed for a long time. Although the control hand was dead, they still followed the instructions just now. Now that there is no control hand, the elephants will soon follow the instructions without new instructions.

Act on your own instinct.

After discovering this, Zhang Wuyang was overjoyed, "It's useful. Knock off all the other controllers!"

As the gunshots continued to sound, more and more elephants began to lose control, walking left and right on the mountain road based on instinct, trying to find a way to avoid these vicious humans.

The Annan soldiers following the elephants noticed something unusual and began to stop. Several Annan soldiers wanted to regain control of the elephants and rushed forward to climb on the elephant's back.

Unfortunately, the elephants were already on the verge of going berserk. Their actions only irritated the elephants even more. With a wave of their long trunks, an Annamite was swept away and hit a tree. A mouthful of blood spurted out and he was already half dead.

Zhang Wuyang said anxiously, "Hit the elephants and make them go crazy!"

"Bang bang bang", gunshots rang out, and the pained elephant was completely furious, waving its long trunk wildly, charging left and right among the Annan soldiers, trampling many Annan soldiers to death.

The entire herd of elephants was affected and could no longer control it. They turned around and chased the Annamites toward the mountain road.

Zhang Wuyang saw a great opportunity in front of him and shouted, "Take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill him!"

The Chinese army kept their distance, followed the elephant herd, and fought their way forward.

Four or five seriously injured elephants, after charging for a while, couldn't hold on and fell on the road one after another. The remaining elephants rushed over a mountain ridge, then turned into the dense forest and disappeared.

Zhang Wuyang led people to follow and found a gate city made of large stones, which lay across the mountains. Above the gate, there were three large Chinese characters "Haiyunguan" engraved on the plaque on the gate.

Before Zhang Wuyang could give the order, there was a sudden sound of a cannon above the door, and blue smoke rose up. The Annan people were already firing in Zhang Wuyang's direction.

Fortunately, the shot was not accurate. The shot drew an arc and hit the stone path in front of Zhang Wuyang. The impact caused gravel to scatter, then bounced up and rushed into the dense forest, breaking all the branches after the impact.

After one vigorous effort, it failed again and again, Zhang Wuyang would give the Annan people a chance to reorganize their forces. He shouted, "Brothers, follow me and win the battle!"

First, brandishing a long knife, he rushed towards Haiyun Pass. There were many Annan people crowded in front of the gate, and they were running towards the gate. At this time, it was too late to close the gate, so they could only fire cannons and fire at the Chinese army from the gate!

The large group of Chinese troops behind them ignored the sound of gunfire and rushed toward the closed door. They chased after the fleeing Annan people and slashed at them with their knives. The Annan people they killed instantly cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.

Rushing into the city, Zhang Wuyang rushed straight to the guns and artillery soldiers without caring about them. The Annan people who were loading ammunition were frightened. The guns and artillery without ammunition were just fire sticks.

Zhang Wuyang slashed the person in front of him to death with a knife. The rest of the Annan people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The Chinese army followed and controlled the entire pass.
