It's a war elephant.

On top of the huge war elephant, a wooden frame was fixed, with several crossbowmen on it to shoot.

These elephants have undergone special training and dare to charge and trample.

After rows of war elephants came out of the city gate, they immediately caused great damage to the Ming army.

This rampaging war elephant cannot be stopped by human power.

Especially siege ladders.

If the war elephant collides with it, it will completely fall apart.

These are adult elephants that have been trained for a long time. Each elephant weighs ten tons according to future calculations.

Coupled with its own impact force, whatever it hits will basically be destroyed.

The trunk of a war elephant is also a special weapon. Once the trunk is whipped off, people can be knocked away directly.

"woo woo woo woo!!!!"

A long horn sounded, which was the sound of Ming Dynasty's retreat.

There was no time to worry about the siege ladder, and a large number of soldiers began to retreat to the Ming army's base camp.

It is difficult for infantry to cause too many casualties to target soldiers.

At this time, there are still a steady stream of elephant soldiers coming out of the city.

The elephant soldiers who came out first, under the control of the animal trainer, were not in a hurry to attack the Ming army's camp.

Waiting to assemble.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

Hu Jiya, who was already on the city wall at this time, let out an arrogant laugh.

He looked at the scene below and felt extremely relaxed.

This wave alone caused at least thousands of damage to the Ming army.

In Hu Jiya's preparations, there were fully two hundred war elephants.

"Today I will let the Ming army know that our Annan is not someone to be trifled with."

"Speaking of which, the Ming army is quite powerful. When the Meng Yuan invaded, they didn't force out our elephant soldiers. Now the Ming army can still attack here."

"But this time, I want to let the Ming army know what a disastrous defeat is."

Hu Jishen, surrounded by local military commanders, said loudly on the top of the city.

At this moment, his heart was extremely happy.

The surrounding managers also laughed arrogantly.

"Let the Ming army be completely defeated tonight."

"If you don't give them some color, you really think that our Annan can be manipulated by the Ming Dynasty."

"This time, we must let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty know that not everyone can mess with Annan."

Some smart people have already begun to curry favor with Hu Jiya.

"Prime Minister Hu will definitely annihilate the Ming army tonight. Not only will it be recorded in the history of Annan, but it will also be recorded in the Ming Dynasty. This will go down in history."

"Seconds, summon the record officer quickly and ask him to write down tonight's details in detail. If Daming doesn't understand, we can also send a copy, hahaha!"

"The people opposite are two princes of the Ming Dynasty. I heard they were some of the founding heroes. After tonight, the Ming Dynasty will never dare to provoke me, Annan, easily again."

"From now on, in the whole territory of Annan, only Prime Minister Hu will follow his lead."

Listening to the flattering voices around him, Hu Ji-sao enjoyed it very much.

How tortured I was a few days ago, my thoughts are so clear now.

Thinking of the tremendous pressure he had endured before, Hu Jisao wanted to vent it all today.

But what he didn't notice was that although the Ming army in front was retreating frantically, there was no reason to panic in the Ming army's base camp.

"This guy really can't keep his temper. He sent out the elephant soldiers so quickly."

"I thought we would wait until we invaded before we would move out."

"There are quite a lot of them. Looking at their appearance, there must be two hundred of them. They are much more powerful than those guys in Yunnan."

Puding Marquis Chen Huan said calmly.

He had absolutely no scruples about the powerful elephant soldiers in front.

Annan hid the elephant soldiers, could Ming Dynasty know?

As far as Southeast Asia is concerned, what other secret weapons can there be?

Besides, the elephant soldiers are all leftover from our ancestors’ play.

In the past ten years or so, when we were fighting in Yunnan, we often encountered elephant soldiers, and we were already familiar with them.

The soldiers are indeed not used to this hot and muggy climate, but this does not mean that Ming Dynasty knows nothing about the Southeast District.

Zhu Yuanzhang had little interest in small countries like Nanyang, not because he didn't understand them, but because he understood them, so he felt there was no need to conquer them.

Even in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't pay much attention to it.

That is to say, Mu Ying was so powerful that he always guarded Yunnan, carried out education, cultivated fields, and suppressed rebellions. Otherwise, Yunnan would be no different from Annan today.

There are no reliable talents like Mu Ying or Mu Wangfu.

Annan, which was defeated by Zhu Di, was in such a situation that it would eventually split.

Hu Jiyou didn't know that during the expedition to Annan, the Central Plains Dynasty army had already fought against the elephant soldiers.

Puding Marquis Chen Huan had participated in it before.

I had already guessed the possibility of encountering elephant soldiers, and had made preparations and arrangements.

At this time, the elephant soldiers under Duobang City had already assembled, followed closely by the densely packed Annan army, estimated to number as many as 300,000.

This is intended to be a direct decisive battle.

Woo woo woo~~~~~

A long trumpet sound sounded in Annan, followed by a feeling like the earth was shaking.

The perspective impact brought by two hundred elephants is still very shocking. The morale of Ming Dynasty has obviously dropped greatly.

"Commander, it should be almost done." Puding Marquis Chen Huan said in a leisurely tone under such circumstances.

Ye Sheng also nodded with a smile, and then ordered: "Send out the lion soldiers."

Following Ye Sheng's order, a messenger immediately shouted: "The commander-in-chief ordered, send out the lion soldiers!"

Then each messenger began to shout: "The commander-in-chief ordered, send out the lion soldiers!"

The sound rippled, and the army spread out through a large number of passages.

I saw simple carts being dragged out one by one.

On the cart, there are carved lions.

There are hundreds of wooden lions.

These are the preparations for the Annamian elephant soldiers.

What elephants fear most is lions. This has been confirmed as early as on the battlefield in Yunnan.

In history, when Zhang Fu defeated the Annan elephant soldiers, he also put lion paintings on his horses to scare off the elephant soldiers.

Ye Sheng is even more ruthless here.

The big lion is directly carved, and because the elephant cannot see clearly, it is still an enlarged version.

Each wooden lion sculpture is two meters high, which is almost the same as the height of an elephant's back.

Of course, this lion is hollow inside.

Not only that.

Ye Sheng even ordered again: "Light the fire!"

Because it was night, these lions might not be seen clearly by the elephants, so the lions' bodies had already been smeared with a layer of grease.

After Ye Sheng's order was given, the soldiers quickly lit the wooden lions and turned them into fire lions.

The soldiers just pushed the fire lions and rushed directly towards the opponent's elephant array.

Behind the fire lion, a large number of infantry followed the charge, and there were cavalry auxiliary on the left and right wings.

The war is about to break out. Ka

Hu Jiya, who was on the city wall, saw the fire lion burning in the distance, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"How is it possible? How could they know that we have elephant soldiers? Who spread the news?"

Hu Jishen said in disbelief.
