On a battlefield in Bajun, soldiers of the Qin State saw a terrifying scene. Those strange barbarians, riding several giants, launched an attack on their own camp.
Those giants had skin the color of a city wall, big round ears, and long, thick noses. Every step they took made the earth shake and the mountains shook, and every sound was earth-shattering.
"Oh oh oh~"
The barbarians sang songs that the Qin people did not understand, followed behind the elephant god they worshiped, and brutally killed and wounded the Qin soldiers whose morale was weak, leaving limbs everywhere along the way.
The Qin army was defeated and began to flee. The barbarians howled and chased after them.
Among the people who were fleeing, there was a man and a woman, their steps were steady and steady, and they showed no fear on their faces.
Xuehan looked back and saw an elephant in his field of vision stepping down with his feet. Two Qin soldiers were unable to escape and were trampled into the ground on the spot. Their bodies were deformed and twisted by the terrible force. They must not survive.
Already.
She turned back and asked, "This thing, the elephant, what's the weakness of the elephant?"
"Weakness? It, it is regarded as a symbol of god by some barbarians, it has no weakness."
The man who spoke was the son of the governor of Bajun, Fu Ya. The entire army of Bashu and Shu counties were mobilized by Wang Jian. Wang Jian unified the county troops based on the principle of proximity, which happened to allow Xuehan and Fu Ya, the elders who had already made a verbal engagement.
A man and a woman got together.
Fu Ya is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. As the son of a county governor, he must learn all kinds of knowledge. He once learned about elephants, a special giant species, when he was studying.
No weaknesses?
Xuehan didn’t believe it.
She jumped out from the chaotic defeated soldiers and picked up a torch. She immediately focused her eyes on the torch and threw it with all her strength.
"Ang~"
The torch hit one of the elephants, but it only made it scream. Then the long trunk calmly flicked out the torch in the air and flew away.
"Xuehan! It's not afraid of fire~"
Fu Ya was shouting Churen's name, but she lowered her voice in embarrassment.
After Xuehan landed, she was targeted by some barbarians. She did not want to fight and ran away while fighting.
Fu Ya has also been accompanying him to protect him, although his martial arts are not as good as his opponent.
…
The Qin army lost this battle, with about three hundred casualties.
Xue Han felt very unhappy because of this defeat. As the commander-in-chief of this army, she visited the military camps after the war one by one to care about the wounded soldiers and their emotions.
When she returned to her tent, it was almost dawn.
She opened the curtain and saw a figure that was surprising but not so surprising.
I saw Fu Ya sitting at the main seat in the tent, lying on the table and falling asleep. There was also an exquisite food box on hand, presumably as a gift for herself.
Xuehan smiled.
But it's not touching.
But it feels ridiculous.
She was already exhausted both physically and mentally, but she didn't want to sleep at all at this moment, so she turned around and left.
The armor customized for her at home was light and convenient, but now it clearly had enough weight to make her feel really tired.
She looked around and found no one, so she sat down directly on the ground, held her head and thought.
The failure this time was because they did not expect that species called elephant. That giant appeared on the battlefield. The huge difference in size aroused people's instinctive fear. The Qin army was demoralized and was no match for them.
Elephants have rough skin and thick flesh, are huge in size, are extremely powerful, and are not afraid of fire. These simple points make most commonly used attack methods useless.
"Weaknesses, it definitely has weaknesses."
Xue Han began to review the entire battlefield, determined to think of a way to defeat the enemy. With a pair of strong peach blossom eyes, there was no trace of softness at all, but perseverance.
The roar of elephants appeared and the army was shaken. Several majestic beasts rushed out from behind the barbarians. The morale of the Qin army collapsed. After barely fighting, they were quickly defeated and fled in all directions.
The barbarians drove the elephants to chase after them, and killed those who caught up. Those who failed to catch up did not do much to catch up, but rushed to collect the spoils.
"Scattering, chasing... huh? Elephants don't seem to be able to turn, or rather, they can't turn on the battlefield."
She made some discoveries, but she was not sure about this discovery. From the battle between the two armies to the defeat of the Qin army, and the entire dynamic of the barbarian pursuit, no elephant was seen turning.
It is precisely because of this that in this defeat, not many people died, and most people escaped with their lives.
"We need to confirm whether it is difficult for the elephant to turn."
She stood up, dusted her butt, closed her eyes slightly, and took a deep breath of the dawn breeze.
The night has not yet awakened, and the line of the sky is still sinking. The bonfire in the camp flickers and illuminates Xuehan's moving face, and she is looking towards the sky.
The barbarians did not know the art of war, and the purpose of fighting was just to rob. Therefore, they did not pursue the victory and used elephants to break through the camp. It was a blessing among misfortunes.
The elephant makes the barbarians emboldened, and they will soon attack the camp. This is a good opportunity for an ambush. Let's take this opportunity to confirm the elephant's weakness.
Xuehan thought about it in her mind, but she still needed the help of maps and sandboxes to prepare an ambush based on the camp and terrain.
So, she hurried back to her tent. As soon as she stepped in, she heard Fu Ya's concerned voice.
"Xuehan, you are back, this is me——"
Xuehan had no expression on his face and went straight to the topic, "The barbarians will attack soon. You and I will figure it out and arrange an ambush."
She walked in, without even looking at the food box, spread out the map, and started to set up camp without warning.
Fu Ya stared blankly at the woman's cold face. She could not hide her fatigue, but she was acting so resolutely.
He blinked, his eyes fell to the map, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.
In this marriage, he is probably going to lose.
…
As expected, the barbarians relied on the destructive power of the elephants to quickly launch a strong attack on the camp.
However, the Qin army had already prepared. By using the layout of the camp to avoid the charging path of the elephants, they would kill the barbarians if they could, and they would never force them if they could not. They only fought the first wave, then they broke into pieces and withdrew from the camp.
.
Xue Han picked up his bow and arrow, and lit up the whole camp with a rocket!
The Qin army had already been defeated and retreated, but the barbarians stayed in the camp to search for loot. When the fire started, they suddenly became a mess.
"Ang~"
"Ang~"
The elephant couldn't help but be in the sea of fire. It became restless and completely disobedient. It rushed out of the military camp from all directions, thus creating an escape path for the barbarians.
Because of the presence of the elephants, the Qin army did not surround and kill them after the fire started. Otherwise, this barbarian group would have been completely destroyed in this battle.
Fu Ya sighed for Xue Han: "Oh, it's a pity that such a clever plan failed to work to its fullest, and it still allowed those southern barbarians to escape."
Xue Han ignored him and looked at the burned-out military camp, staring in deep thought.
Her goal has been achieved, with minimal casualties, confirming that elephants cannot turn, or in other words, it is very difficult to turn on the battlefield. This weakness will not be eliminated just because of the command of barbarians.
The morale of the Qin army also improved greatly.
The next step is to find a favorable terrain and take advantage of the elephant's weakness to lure the enemy deep into the area and completely annihilate the barbarians.
