More than a dozen war elephants fell to the ground in succession, and a huge ravine appeared nearly a thousand meters across the entire battlefield. The ravine was five meters deep. The war elephants fell into it and were unable to get out on their own.
Behind them, Zhu Rong Cave Master and others, who had just gathered the defeated troops and were preparing to make a comeback, looked at this scene with their mouths open.
"What's going on? When did they dig it?" Mrs. Zhu Rong frowned slightly and turned to look at the others, only to see that everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
Because of the abundance of products, the Yinkengdong area is the most prosperous among the Southern Barbarians. Many players even built a city here. Unfortunately, it was later destroyed by Mrs. Zhu Rong. After countless wars, if there were any holes under the ground, they should have been discovered long ago.
That is to say, there was no such underground ravine here originally, it was just dug out artificially. As for who dug it, it is self-evident.
"What a cunning Han people. They have been standing still these days, presumably for this reason." Meng Huo's face was extremely gloomy, and the corners of his eyes were constantly twitching. He looked at the war elephants stuck in the potholes, and felt extremely bored in his heart.
"No, our people have been monitoring the other side's camp these days. If there is such a big movement, how could we not detect it?" the cave master who brought him frowned.
"Brother is confused." Mrs. Zhu Rong's pretty face turned cold. She looked at the scene in front of her and thought of the strange performance of Qingtian City's army. Everything was already clear. She said in a deep voice: "They have been practicing these days, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky.
These sounds can be completely covered up, and the security is so tight that our people can't get in at all. If I guessed correctly, their military camps must be filled with excavated soil now, and we were deceived by them."
"It's too late to say anything now, boys, prepare to fight." Zhu Rong Cave Master waved his hand to stop everyone's speculation. Now even if they know the opponent's conspiracy, it will not help. He snorted coldly. Now the war elephant has been broken.
, and can only have a decisive battle with the opponent.
"Yin~"
In the Qingtian Army, the Nine Heavenly Dragon Soul in General Qin Tian's hand shook, and he let out an exciting dragon roar that resounded throughout the countryside. Qin Tianlang said loudly: "Soldiers, you have made great achievements, and you will kill with me today."
"Ho~"
One hundred thousand Qingtian troops let out earth-shattering roars, with wild expressions on their faces. They waved their swords, guns, swords and halberds and charged towards each other under the command of the generals of each battalion. Although there were still a few war elephants
They didn't fall into the ravine, but it doesn't matter now. A collective charge of a hundred war elephants does have extraordinary effects, but with only a few, in a battle of 100,000 people, especially the two sides caught in a melee,
It is difficult to exert its own power.
"Kill" Cave Master Zhu Rong groaned, drew the sword in his hand, and rushed out first with the vine-armored war bull under his crotch and four hooves like the wind. Behind him, the major cave masters led their own men and horses to follow closely. The war elephant had been broken.
They lost their last support, and only these 100,000 barbarians were left.
Regardless of their training level or equipment, the Nanman people are far from being comparable to Qingtian's soldiers. Although there are also barbarians in Qingtian's army, after this period of integration and the equipment sent from the rear, not to mention other things,
In terms of equipment, it is more than one level behind Qingtian City.
Coupled with the defeat of the war elephant, the confidence originally built up by the addition of the war elephant was immediately shattered. In addition, the undefeated image created by the previous victories of Qingtian City's army rose again.
This station lasted from noon to dusk. The fierce fighting lasted for several hours. From the beginning, there was a mutual victory. Later, Qin Tian gradually controlled the rhythm of the war. The last hundred thousand barbarians gathered in the southern barbarian land finally
After being dispersed, countless barbarian cave masters saw no hope of victory and chose to surrender, including several of the eight cave masters. Cave master Zhu Rong and others resisted stubbornly, but the situation was over. With the help of a few of them, they could no longer recover.
, had no choice but to break out with the remnants of Yinkengdong and retreat to the direction of Yinkengdong...
"My lord, Zhu Rong Cave Master and others are leading the remaining army to withdraw to the direction of Yinkeng Cave. Do you want to continue the pursuit?" Yang Feng hurriedly came to Qin Tian's side with an anxious look on his face.
"There's no rush, let's clean up the results first." Qin Tian said with a sneer on his lips, shaking his head.
"But..." Yang Feng was anxious and didn't understand why Qin Tian would give up such a good opportunity. Now that the Nanman caves have descended, it can be said that Qingtian City's plan to take over Nanzhong was basically successful, so why should he stay?
Such a trouble?
Qin Tian turned his head and glanced at Yang Feng, but said nothing. However, Yang Feng felt a chill in his heart for no reason and did not dare to say anything more.
Military prestige is the most important in the army. Qin Tian is now the commander-in-chief of the three armies. His prestige cannot be questioned. However, Yang Feng is questioning Qin Tian's decision. Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, it will shake the morale of the army.
"Jiang Qin" Qin Tian snorted coldly and turned around.
"exist"
"Lead the troops and rein in the surrendered troops, but those who resist will be killed without mercy." A murderous look flashed across Qin Tian's face. Now that his kindness to the Southern Barbarians has been completed, the overall situation of the Southern Barbarians has been decided. The next step is to govern.
Just giving kindness is not enough. You don’t know what kind of people you will cultivate. Giving both kindness and power is the way to go.
"Here~"
"Zhou Tai"
"exist"
"Find some people to get these war elephants out. They will be of great use in the next few days." Qin Tian looked at the war elephants that were trapped in the pit. This thing on the plain is simply an ancient version of a tank. There are hundreds of war elephants.
As he charged forward, his momentum alone was enough to make people frightened. Even the most elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the Samsara Three Kingdoms would probably not dare to confront him head-on, let alone other infantry units.
"Well..." Zhou Tai nodded, and then looked at the five-meter-deep ravines, his face suddenly turned bitter. When he dug the trenches, he just regretted that there was not enough time to dig deeper, but now he has to dig deeper.
When these giant beasts came up, Zhou Tai suddenly felt that he was trapped in a cocoon.
"Lord, how do you get this thing out?" Zhou Tai looked at Qin Tian with a bitter look on his face.
Qin Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly and was about to speak when Zhang Ning smiled and said: "General Zhou can have someone dig a slope next to the gully and let these war elephants walk up on their own."
"You're stupid enough to lead an army." Qin Tian rolled his eyes at Zhou Tai, and the surroundings became more and more crowded. Guan Hai and others also looked like you are an idiot, and moved their bodies away calmly, pretending not to recognize Zhou Tai.
Tai was filled with hatred and could not complain to Qin Tian. He could only glare at Yue Xi, Guan Hai and others, thanked Zhang Ning and ran away. Those looks were really hurtful.
Qin Tian was so happy that he obtained more than a hundred well-trained war elephants at once. Regardless of the darkness, he led a group of generals to watch.
These war elephants are obedient. Although they are huge in size, they are extremely docile when no one is commanding them. Generally speaking, herbivorous animals are not aggressive. Although these war elephants have been trained, they do not have the command of their owners.
, and will not actively attack people. After being brought out of the trench, he just stood there quietly. Because he has been tamed, he is not afraid of people.
Although there is a war elephant in the military camp, in order to prevent it from being taken advantage of by the enemy, the war elephant is still anesthetized and is still lying in the military camp. No one dares to touch it.
Zhou Tai walked up to an elephant and boldly touched the elephant's body with his hands. The soldiers next to him also stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhou Tai's movements with curiosity. War elephants are rare even in Nanman.
It rarely appears. Although Qin Tian has many barbarian soldiers, for most of the elephants, except for the half-dead one in the camp, it is the first time to observe this thing at close range. For the soldiers of the three armies, this thing
It is undoubtedly a novel thing.
Zhou Tai wiped his hand on the war elephant's leg. Seeing that the war elephant didn't react at all, he suddenly became more courageous. He ran around the war elephant twice, and finally climbed on the war elephant's back...
"My lord, it's so wide up here. You can set up a siege crossbow. And at this height, if you attack an ordinary city, you won't even need a siege ladder." Zhou Tai stood on the head of the war elephant with an excited look.
As a general, the first thing that comes to mind is how to use these things in the army. Compared with the crude military skills of the Southern Barbarians, Zhou Tai is a well-deserved famous general. In just a moment, based on the height of the war elephant,
Many feasible methods have been explored.
Guan Hai looked at Zhou Tai who was standing on the head of the war elephant. He was originally a tall man, but now he looked very small standing on the head of the war elephant. He swallowed his saliva and said dryly to Yue Xi on the side: "What do you mean?
How heavy does it have to be?”
Yue Xi looked at the war elephant, scratched his head, and couldn't imagine it at all: "How about I go find a steelyard and you weigh it?"
"Fart, how can it be called such a big thing? Besides, even if it is, can you lift it up?" Guan Hai's eyes widened, he looked at Yue Xi and cursed with a smile.
Qin Tian laughed when he heard this and said: "Old manager, you still don't believe it, someone has actually weighed this thing."
"My lord, who has such strength? Where did he find such a big scale?" Yue Xi, Guan Hai, Zhang Ning and even Zhou Tai, who had just gotten off the elephant's back, looked at Qin Tian with disbelief.
How do you call such a big guy?
"Cao Cao has a son named Cao Chong..." Qin Tian told the story about Cao Chong calling him an elephant, but he was unsure. At this time, he didn't know whether Cao Chong was born or not, but the method was true, and Qin Tian didn't lie to them.
"Damn, I didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a son. My lord, he might be a powerful enemy in the future." The generals were amazed, but Zhou Tai frowned and said, "If you are so powerful at such a young age, how can you handle it when you grow up?"
Zhang Ning shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If a tree is as beautiful as Lin Feng, it will be destroyed. Cao Chong is too young."
Qin Tian nodded and then stopped discussing this topic. Cao Cao is still far away from Qin Tian now. It is uncertain whether he can dominate the north as he did in history. At least for now, the territory is not as big as Qin Tian's, but Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains.
, the population density is much greater than that of Jiangdong and Jiaozhou. Qin Tian secretly estimated that today's Cao Cao should be no worse than him in terms of overall strength. Moreover, the current Cao Cao has not yet blackmailed the emperor to order the princes, and is surrounded by allies. Strictly speaking,
If it weren't for the Yangtze River's natural moat, the current Qingtian City would probably not be as good as Cao Cao. Of course, it would be another matter if Qin Tian could capture Yizhou as soon as possible.
