Rishaman felt that Tang Jun's reaction was a bit inappropriate...
Faced with the menacing attack of the enemy soldiers, shouldn't you panic and flee in all directions? Even if you are a brave and invincible Tang army, you will not be so stupid that you can withstand the charge of an elephant with your flesh and blood, right?
An inexplicable sense of crisis arose in Risha's heart, and he subconsciously slowed down the charging speed of the elephant beneath him, while the elephant soldiers behind him rushed up from both sides like a rising tide.
The sense of crisis is getting stronger...
However, when the two armies were fighting, the opportunity was fleeting, and Rishaman did not have time to think too much. It was a good thing that the Tang army did not run away. It would have been much easier if the elephants would trample them into a pulp!
The infantry followed behind with the cover of the elephant soldiers and ducked to avoid the arrows fired by the Tang army. In this way, the casualties were greatly reduced and they quickly approached the city gate. Although the Tang army was brave, they were not many in number. Rishaman believed in himself.
If these thousands of soldiers rush forward, they can kill the Tang army even with one bite!
Letting go of his worries for a moment, Risha waited for the exciting moment when the elephant soldiers rushed into the Tang army's formation! The bravery of the Han people had long been spread among countries as a myth, and it was not used for the Turks in the northwest who dared to confront the Tang army head-on.
During the war, Linyi, Funan, Chenla, Siam and other countries all regarded the Han people as tigers and leopards. This was awe from the bottom of their hearts!
But now, am I about to annihilate a Tang army of hundreds of people?
Rizhaman didn't know whether he was excited or afraid. He was excited because the myth of the invincibility of the Han people would end in his own hands, and his name would definitely become the God of War in the hearts of the Zhenla people; he was afraid because he was afraid of the Tang army's revenge.
If the Tang army is angered and then gathers troops to attack Chenla, Rizhaman has no doubt that the Tang army can march straight into Chenla, regardless of the Linyi area between the two countries. It is true that the Tang army cannot station in Chenla for a long time, but as long as it breaks through the capital of Chenla
, the neighboring countries surrounded by wolves will follow the Tang army and tear Zhenla into pieces in minutes...
Just when Rishaman was extremely worried about gains and losses, the Tang army finally responded!
These hundreds of crossbowmen and sword and shield men did not change their formation, but more than a hundred red-tasseled Tang soldiers rushed out from the city gate behind them, some of them holding torches...
That's right, it's a torch.
Lishaman was puzzled. He had read several military books and knew that "fire attack" occupies an extremely important position in the Han people's art of war. Countless classic battles in history were won by fire attack. But this is the country of Linyi, with lush vegetation and sufficient water.
, coupled with the heavy fog in the sky, is the fire attack useless?
Then, he saw a scene that made his heart burst with fear and his soul was shattered...
The Tang troops holding torches stood behind the archers, while the other Tang troops took out a dark ball-shaped object from a belt they carried and placed it against the flame of the torch, as if they wanted to light it.
Rishaman watched helplessly as the spherical objects emitted light smoke in an instant, and were thrown by the Tang army in front of the charging elephant soldiers.
next moment……
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosions sounded like the thunder god in the sky was angry, the ground beneath his feet shook violently like an earth dragon turning over, his ears were buzzing with the huge roar, and his eyes were filled with fire and smoke like from hell.
Countless broken afterimages were scattered in the explosion, like arrows that effortlessly penetrated the elephant's thick flesh!
"Ouch - Ouch - Ouch -"
The elephants at the forefront let out a sharp roar, and blood spurted out from countless wounds on their bodies. They were frightened, frightened and in pain. The animal instincts keenly sensed the coming danger. They no longer ignored the urging of the soldiers on their bodies and turned around.
run.
The elephant soldiers behind rushed forward, and the elephant soldiers in front ran back. As a result, hundreds of elephant soldiers suddenly collided with each other, trampling each other, and countless elephants screamed. The screams were shrill, desolate, and miserable.
, tragic...
Rizhaman was completely stunned!
What kind of weapon is this?!
It was as powerful as a divine thunder coming into the world, and even the elephants could not withstand the violent explosion. How could the flesh and blood of the soldiers withstand it?
The Tang army moved neatly and without any chaos. One thunderbolt after another exploded in front of the elephant soldiers, driving them back. Never dare to throw the thunderbolt into the middle of the elephant soldiers' array, otherwise they will be frightened.
Elephants don't care about the north, south, east or west. If their violent size and strength rush into their own formation, it would be a tragedy...
In just the blink of an eye, the elephant soldiers who were charging like an overwhelming force just now were defeated. Animals are naturally afraid of fire and violent noises. Under the roar of thunder, hundreds of elephant soldiers were completely thrown into chaos, almost in one fell swoop.
It completely collapsed in an instant. The violent elephant turned around and fled out of fear, bursting out at a speed no less than that of a galloping horse. Its huge size became a disaster for the Chenla infantry following behind.
On the ground, he was immediately trampled into pulp...
The whole army was in chaos with cries that shook the sky.
Rishaman sadly discovered that the army he had been so proud of just now had completely collapsed. Even if gods and Buddhas came to the world, it would be impossible to turn defeat into victory.
Fortunately, he hesitated just now and fell behind instead of rushing ahead, so he was not trampled to pieces by the crazy elephant.
Now that the defeat was decided, Rishaman made a decisive decision, turned around and ran away!
Without the threat of the elephant soldiers, the Tang army's crossbowmen began to advance slowly under the cover of the sword and shield men. As they advanced, they used their bows and crossbows to kill the Zhenla infantry who were not covered by the elephant soldiers.
The protective power of Zhenla's army was extremely low. The entire army did not even have a few pieces of leather armor, let alone iron armor that could withstand bows and arrows. One after another, the wolf-fang arrows soared into the sky, and the white feathers at the end drew a perfect trajectory in the air, and then
He plunged headlong into the body of Zhenla soldiers.
A howl!
Rishaman almost broke his teeth and felt so remorseful that he wanted to vomit blood!
Why didn't you listen to Chen Jingshuo, reorganize a little, find out the reality of Sangha Buluo City before launching an attack? If he had known that there was such a Tang army to help Lin Yi defend the city, he would not have dared to attack the city even if he was killed!
But now it was too late to regret it. The shrill howls coming from behind made him frightened. He only knew to keep urging the elephant under him to escape from this place quickly, and then return to Chenla without stopping!
The frightened elephants were extremely fast, and Rishaman felt a little relieved. All the southeastern countries were short of horses, and the elephants that increased their speed were the fastest means of transportation, and people would definitely not be able to catch up!
Rizhaman, who felt a little at ease in his heart, suddenly felt his body swaying. The undulating mountains and forests in the distance just before his eyes suddenly turned into soft earth, and then he hit the ground...
Rishaman, who fell into a daze, was woken up by several shrill elephant cries. Only then did he realize that one of the legs of the elephant beneath him had fallen into a deep pit. The running speed plus the elephant itself
The huge weight caused the entire elephant leg to be broken in one fell swoop, and blood spurted out from the broken leg like a fountain.
Under the severe pain, the elephant rolled all over the ground, and its shrill screams were so loud that Risha's ears almost broke.
Looking around, there were countless pits trampled by the fleeing elephants. The ground was full of rolling and wailing elephants. Many elephant soldiers were thrown directly to the ground and then smashed into meat patties by the elephant's huge body.
The miserable scene is like hell!
Lisha was so frightened that he remembered why Lin Yi's army had turned a corner while escaping...
Just to avoid this pit that was dug in advance!
When the elephant soldiers are chasing, they can follow Lin Yiguo's army in a circle, but when they escape, they must take the shortest route. What route is closest? Of course, the shortest route is the straight line!
So, not surprisingly, I fell into a trap by mistake...
Rishaman wanted to stand up and continue running away, he didn't want to die here! But just as he moved, his thighs felt a sharp pain! Rishaman was sweating profusely in pain, struggled hard, and desperately found that his two
All the legs were broken.
Looking up at the sky, the sun could not be seen in the gray sky. The light mist had not completely dispersed. My ears were filled with the screams of soldiers and the roar of elephants. The expected victory did not come, but instead
In an instant, the situation of the battle was reversed and turned into a devastating defeat.
A cold arrow flew from nowhere and penetrated Rishaman's broken thigh, nailing him to the ground so hard that he could not move at all.
Suddenly I remembered a cry of surprise and joy: "Come on, come on, I've caught a big fish. This is the prime minister of Zhenla Kingdom..."
Risha felt like crying but had no tears, and his heart was filled with sadness...
