He successfully repelled the attack of the elephant soldiers, but left behind a camp riddled with holes. All the strong walls were scrapped and many defensive facilities were completely destroyed. Qin Tian looked at the military camp that looked like a refugee camp and looked a little ugly.
If Zhang Ning had not taken action, his more than 100,000 troops would have suffered heavy losses even if they were not defeated.
The losses on the battlefield were quickly counted, and the numbers made a group of generals who had just been excited about repelling the war elephants look gloomy.
Not counting the losses in morale, materials, etc., more than 5,000 people were killed in this battle just due to the attrition. You must know that the battle lasted for less than an hour, and the generals present, including Qin Tian,
Everyone wears the hat of a famous general on their head, and among these fallen soldiers, how many of them trampled on each other to death?
On the messy ground, the blood gradually solidified, showing a terrifying dark red color, giving the air a strong smell of blood. Near the collapsed city wall, there were piles of corpses trampled beyond recognition by war elephants, telling the story.
The cruelty of this battle.
"Lord..." Zhou Tai's voice was a little dry. He said two words, but he didn't know what to say next. In the final analysis, he still failed to block these elephant soldiers in the first place.
"Stop talking, this is not a crime of war." Qin Tian shook his head, feeling a little panicked: "Repair the defense as soon as possible, dig more trenches, dig deeper, I don't want to see these things rushing to the door again.
It will be rewarded.”
"Here." Zhou Tai nodded and retreated. Dragging his tired body, he and Guan Hai and others directed the soldiers to clear the battlefield and build defenses.
Qin Tian stopped in the camp for a while, and then walked towards Zhang Ning with Yue Xi. Huang Tianweilin could count on him once, but he couldn't count on him forever. Looking at Zhang Ning's look, he knew how much this move would put a heavy load on him.
Although the elephant soldiers are more exaggerated, they always have weaknesses.
"Lord, how many of these monsters do you think those southern barbarians have in their hands?" Yue Xi suddenly said in a muffled voice on the way. The appearance of the giant elephant stimulated him. Even when facing the rattan-armored war bull of Zhurong Cave Master,
He had never felt this powerless before, but when facing the war elephant, he really felt like he had no idea what to do.
"Not too much." Qin Tian shook his head: "Do you think that thing doesn't need to be eaten? With that kind of size, the consumption required to feed one head is an astronomical figure. If there are hundreds of heads, it should be burned highly.
"
Having said that, Qin Tian is really not optimistic. Even if there are not many in number, with the size of these war elephants and their exaggerated defenses, monsters that cannot even be killed by lightning strikes, and the impact force when they move, ordinary city walls may not be able to withstand them.
They can't stand the torment. If they are put on the battlefield, unless they have an equal number of first- and second-grade generals in their hands, there is nothing they can do. But is this possible?
"By the way, send someone to keep an eye on the unconscious giant elephant. Maybe we can work out a way to deal with these freaks." Qin Tian looked back. Even though he had gone far away, he could still see the unconscious elephant when he looked back.
The body of the war elephant could not be blocked by the originally spacious military camp. It lay across the camp like a hill, which felt very strange.
"Here" Yue Xi looked back at the giant elephant with a grimace, and his face twitched. It's okay for such a big man to be dizzy. If he wakes up and wants to watch, it will be worse than fighting two first-grade generals.
Effortless.
In the military camp of Luanfeng Camp, Qin Tian arrived just as Zou Yulan came out of Zhang Ning's tent. A cold mask covered her face, making her expression unclear.
"How is it?" Qin Tian walked up and took Zou Yulan's hand.
Zou Yulan struggled instinctively, but then she calmed down, but her cheeks felt a little hot. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask so others couldn't see it. She lowered her head and said: "It's okay, it's just excessive mental exertion. You can recover in a few days of rest, but
I’m afraid I won’t be able to help each other any more these days.”….
Qin Tian waved his hand: "As long as it's okay, as for these giant elephants, I can deal with them myself."
"Master, is there any solution?" Zou Yulan's eyes lit up and she looked at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian's face froze when he heard this, and he shook his head in embarrassment: "I haven't figured it out yet."
If it's a wild elephant, it's easy to say. In reality, it's completely possible to find out how to catch an elephant. Even though the giant elephants in Samsara Three Kingdoms are a bit too big, it should be possible with slight modifications.
But it's hard to say these tamed elephants. The trained war elephants have agility that is incompatible with their bulky bodies. Especially when charging, they are even faster than war horses. Coupled with the impact brought by their huge bodies,
On the ancient battlefield, it is definitely a well-deserved tank.
"My subordinates have thought of a way, but it requires the cooperation of this giant elephant." Zou Yulan had a smile in her eyes, pointed at the huge elephant in the distance, and said softly.
…
In Yinkeng Cave, looking at the fifteen war elephants and the barbarian army who returned in defeat, Zhu Rong Cave Master, Zhu Rong Madam, Meng Huo, King Mulu and others could not help but be shocked.
"What's going on?" Zhu Rong Cave Master frowned and looked at a barbarian who was in a state of embarrassment. There was uncontrollable anger in his voice. With the help of war elephants, he could still be beaten to such a degree of virtue.
Zhu Rong Cave Master believed that a dozen war elephants were not enough to force Qin Tian back, but he never thought that he would be in such an embarrassing situation.
"Old Wang, it's none of our business. There are people in the Qingtian Army who know sorcery," the barbarian general said with a bitter smile.
"Witchcraft?" Cave Master Zhu Rong and others couldn't help but frown when they heard this. Ordinary barbarians don't know magic, but they do know some. For example, King Mulu, who is not very strong, knows a lot of witchcraft and can
He can kill people invisible and can control the wind and rain. However, it takes too much energy to cast spells, so they are rarely used. Moreover, most of King Mulu's spells are used in conjunction with animal taming spells.
The barbarian general did not dare to conceal the story of his trip, and told Zhu Rong Cave Master and others word for word. Everyone couldn't help but fell silent after hearing the words. Meng Huo looked at King Mulu and said: "Mulu
, how is it?" He inadvertently glanced at the returning war elephants, a look of greed flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of heat in his eyes when he looked at King Mulu.
"The man who can display such divine power is not as good as me." King Mulu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. King Mulu continued: "But don't worry, everyone, such a powerful spell must consume a lot of money.
They won't be needed in a short time, so just get rid of them before then."
King Mulu's words made Meng Huo and others' hearts drop back into their stomachs. If the other party could summon the thunder for free, then the war elephants they had finally summoned would no longer have any use.
This time, Mrs. Zhu Rong didn't know how to convince King Mulu. King Mulu actually brought all the hundreds of war elephants from Bana Cave, which made the gradually clear balance of war once again become uncertain.
"It's a pity that the other party took one away." Meng Huo said with regret, his words full of disappointment.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter where they are. There is no way to control an elephant. As long as I want, I can make that war elephant go crazy at any time." King Mulu sneered indifferently.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. King Mulu’s unintentional words made Cave Master Zhu Rong, Mrs. Zhu Rong and Meng Huo’s eyes light up. The three of them were all knowledgeable soldiers among the Southern Barbarians, so they would naturally be able to
Thinking of many things, if nothing else, if the war elephant in the opponent's military camp suddenly riots when the war is stalemate, it can completely determine the outcome of a war.
"Without further delay, we will send troops immediately," Meng Huo said impatiently, and the other three people also nodded.
"Report~"
At this moment, a barbarian soldier suddenly rushed over, knelt down in front of the four of them and said: "Old Wang, the Qingtian Army suddenly raised a stronghold, retreated thirty miles, and settled down at the mouth of the Laotan River"...
Laotan River Mouth is what the Nanman people call it. It is actually a tributary of the Lushui River. It is not very wide, but the geology is soft. In terms of terrain, it is not suitable for a village.
"Laotan River Mouth?" The cave master who brought him frowned slightly, looked at Zhu Rong Cave Master and said, "Father, are they crazy?" Even if he brought the cave master, he knew that Laotan River Mouth was not suitable for camping. Since it is
The water level of the beach is naturally not deep, and it can be crossed without a boat at all, which does not play a protective role. The soft geology also makes many fortifications impossible to build and can easily be blown down by the wind.
"No, they are not crazy." King Mulu shook his head and said: "It is indeed not suitable for going to the village, but it can stop our war elephants. The weight of the war elephants is extremely heavy, and the soft soil makes it difficult to walk, so they cannot
If you launch a charge, you might get trapped if you don't do it right."
"Since the war elephants cannot enter, then we will not enter. We only need to cut off their food and grass and surround them without attacking. Without food, it will not take long before they are defeated." Meng Huo said with a sneer in his eyes:
"The Han people in Guizhou are exhausted."
"Then what should they do if they want to break through?" Mrs. Zhu Rong frowned when she heard this. Without the help of the elephant soldiers, ordinary barbarian soldiers are no match for the Qingtian Army, and their military strength is not much different from the opponent's. How can they cut off other people's food and grass?
"Then divide the elephant soldiers into several teams and intercept them on all sides." King Mulu thought for a while and said.
After everyone thought about it, they also felt that this method was feasible. A dozen of them almost flattened Qin Tian's camp by beheading them. Now, if the hundred war elephants are separated into a few teams, if each team has more than 20 elephants, they can still defeat Qin Tian.
The heavenly army forced them back.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Bring me here. You can inform the other cave masters that tomorrow we will prepare for a decisive battle with Qingtian Army so that everyone can be prepared." Cave Master Zhu Rong nodded, and then looked to the side to bring cave masters aside and said,
At this moment, Zhurong Cave Master's haze disappeared.
At the same time, the people of Sanjiang City who had been lingering in Sanjiang City and refused to leave also found out what was going on here. Wutugu finally decided to raise troops to gain some profit from this final battle.
