With the formal order, the first row of crossbowmen finally ignited the storm cartridge tied to the arrows on the crossbow. The lead was burning with a hissing sound, and as the crossbow was pulled, it shot out "buzzing".

This is the killing weapon that Li Su used to deal with war elephants. Strictly speaking, it is just a monkey that looks like a monkey that runs in fireworks, but it is not a "real monkey that runs in the sky".

Because according to the definition of the monkey, you have to rely on gunpowder to fuel gas to cause the arrow shaft to fly forward, and the main driving force for Li Su's flight of the cargo is the energy storage of the crossbow string itself.

The black gunpowder he made now is still very difficult to cause fatal damage to humans or beasts. Li Su never thought of creating muskets or cannons, but it was too easy to scare people.

What's more, Li Su, the monkey who flew into the sky, had already used it when he was playing "White rainbow piercing the moon, and the snake sword ascended to recognize the master" in the Taimiao of Chang'an. Therefore, if you have experience, you will improve it slightly this time, and the reliability is very high.

The experience of fighting war elephants over the past thousand years has shown that elephants are afraid of fire, explosions and loud noises, and these factors are all caused by monkeys.

Moreover, with Li Su's cowardly temperament, he would not put all the eggs in one basket.

Therefore, even if the monkey can't control the direction of the elephant's impact, he still has the last spare tire: before this battle, Li Su asked all the light infantry of the Han army to carry a bundle of hay and start the war to go to the front of his position to form a series of spacing hay piles. Once the elephants rushed within fifty steps, they would ignite the fire directly.

In addition, Li Su also brought a batch of "Lilotov cocktails" mobilizers. The thing was used to deal with Gan Ning and fight Zhang Lu in Langzhong Canyon. Now, it is necessary to quickly create local combustion belts to block the war elephant, or face a cluster of vine armored soldiers, and it is not a loss to prepare for it.

All the materials were previously stored in the warehouses of Dianchi County. They only needed to spend time to make finished products, rather than being allocated thousands of miles from the shu Road. Otherwise, the preparation time for more than ten days was not enough - because when Li Su first arrived in Nanzhong, he thought that he might have to face vine armored soldiers or war elephants. These things are so famous in the Romance, and they are indeed the elite combat power of Nanzhong. Not preparing is not Li Su's style.

Finally, a corridor was left in advance between the Han army's military formations to divert the elephant's trajectory after the madness - this move was created by the famous Roman general Sipia when he dealt with Hannibal, the commander of Carthage.

...

"Swoosh~Skeep~Skeep~Skeep~" With the shrill and sharp roars, the monkeys exploded one after another within fifty to one hundred steps in front of the Han army formation, and the momentum was like the roar of a group of evil ghosts. In the end, the sound of the explosion of the cartridge seemed to be less loud and lasting than the roar when flying.

The simple "segmented explosion" fuse is not very reliable. Some monkeys do not whistle during their flight, and they do not explode until they pierce the skin of the war elephant or shoot on the ground. Some of them whistle and explode directly in the air.

But whether it is blown up early or late, relying on the dense number of thousands of wires and the target of the war elephant is large enough, the shocking effect is still very impressive.

Giant elephants began to scream and howl, and some people even stood up and threw the elephant-controlling person on their backs down.

The arming of Ailaoyi against the battle elephant is not perfect, unlike the Carthaginians, there is an arrow tower on the back of the elephant, so Ailaoyi will not shoot arrows on the elephant. It is purely a person on each elephant, riding on the neck to control the direction. All killing output depends on trampling and collision, and the battle elephant will not be worn with armor.

Such extensive arming makes the war elephant increasingly lacks countermeasures when encountering the monkey crossbow arrows gathering fire.

The Mulu King, who was personally responsible for the vanguard of the central army and charged with the elephant herd, was originally riding on the back of the largest battle elephant. These were also the only battle elephants with simple arrow tower-shaped elephant saddles that could shoot arrows on the elephant's back. When witnessing all this, the Mulu King was stunned and bleeding in his heart.

He saw at least twenty or thirty battle elephants, and ran wildly, retreated, stood up, and threw down his driver. They were all elites in the clan!

"This is impossible! What kind of magic did the Han people use? Is Li Suzhen helping the gods?! My war elephant!"

The commander of the Ailao Alliance, who was watching the battle in the middle of the army, brought the cave master. Although the visual impact he suffered was not as direct as the Mulu King, because he stood high and looked far, he could grasp the overall situation at the first time, so his inner horror was not inferior at all.

"Such wind, thunder, heaven and fire, what kind of divine help does the Han people have? Will the heavens die and I am a prison?"

However, even at this moment, the generals of Ailao had not given up their last hope. They were still betting that the Han army was too slow to attack. Even if the Battle Elephant Formation exploded the camp, they would trample on the Han army to death more!

"The vine armored soldiers and the rear army continued to charge! The frightened place of the war elephant was less than fifty steps away from the Han army! Even if they stomped on them, they would kill more Han soldiers! The spear soldiers first took the lead and resisted the war elephant and refused to retreat!" The master of the cave brought the cave quickly gave several orders, trying to gamble for his life.

It turned out that he also saw that although the battle elephant fled four times, it was already very close to the Han army's front. If the crossbow arrow was not tied to the Sky Monkey Cartridge, the crossbow could have easily shot targets two hundred steps away.

The binding of the cartridge causes the arrow to become heavier, and the streamlined aerodynamic structure is destroyed, so it can only shoot at a hundred steps at most. If the arrow flies too fast, it may extinguish the leads because the wind is too strong. All of this causes the elephant's frying pot to occur within a range of 100 to 50 steps from the Han army.

The elephants will not all retreat after being frightened. Even if the frontal firepower is strong, the elephants who lack IQ judgment do not know which direction to escape will be safer, so the elephants' running around is completely "true. random incident".

He rushed to the Han army for dozens of steps and broke the formation!

Such a large bait was placed there, so that the generals of Ailao did not want to completely waste their efforts - if they retreated at this time, they would lose 30% of the chips that had been put on the poker table, and the Han army would take it in vain! And if they tried hard and all the chips were pushed onto the gambling table, they would have a chance to make a profit and make a profit!

How can you not follow this time?

Thousands of barbarian spear soldiers without armor were ordered to change their original formation and rushed to a position like the vine armored soldiers, and set up spears to resist the retreating elephants.

And in this brief chaos, all the more than 200 battle elephants went crazy on the whole, and they were still calm and rushed forward less than one-tenth.

"Wow——" After the Han army's monkeys who used the same amount of use, they had to keep their last strategic reserves, and instead ignited all the haystacks in front of the formation to form a wall of fire that directed the flow.

Even if there were a very small number of people who were still panicking and rushing towards the fire wall, the Han army also had their last killer weapon to shoot with ordinary arrows and to throw away the viscous flaming oil and brown sugar bottles within twenty steps.

"Ao--" With a series of shrill long howls, the war elephant rushing in front was finally burned by the sticking of the moor bottle and immediately turned around.

More elephants rushed along the corridor to the back of the Han army array under the force of the horse-slaying sword array and firewall, and fled directly to the battlefield. The Han army also took advantage of the elephant's passage through the corridor, aiming at the driver on the back of the elephant with a bow and arrow at the driver on the back of the elephant, shooting dozens of drivers down and assassinated.

More than 200 battle elephants, twenty or thirty of them fell dead like hedgehogs in front of the formation, and about twenty of them were hit by a mobilizer and rushed to the distance with fire, running and dying.

There were 170 to 80 war elephants left, and about 80 were indeed as expected by the Lord of the Guidong and Mulu. "Although it exploded, it was also blown up towards the Han army array." Unfortunately, they all escaped from the battlefield along the corridor and did not step on a few Han soldiers at all.

There were a hundred war elephants who turned 80 degrees firmly and charged and trampled wildly towards the barbarian array behind them.

"Kala——" The sound of vine armored soldiers being trampled to death by the elephant legs and being trampled to death with their shields, and the soldiers were broken and broken in their bones.

"Puchi phuchi--" Hundreds of thick spears were used by barbarian light infantry in the barbarian battle against the retreating elephants. However, as the Han army's crossbow formation completed the mission of shocking the enemy, it was changed to using ordinary crossbow arrows, and a round of arrow rain could shoot the armorless spear soldiers trying to resist the elephants into pieces.

This kind of shooting occurs within a distance of seventy or eighty steps. The person who was shot didn't even have clothes, which was simply cruel.

What's even more terrible is that the barbarian soldiers' natural fear of gunpowder weapons has long damaged their morale. When the Han army was shooting, if one or two monkeys were caught in dozens of lethal crossbows, not only the elephants would become more and more shocked, but even many ordinary soldiers would put down their spears and flee directly.

Hundreds of collapsed elephants stepped out dozens of bloody paths in the barbarian formation. Many of them had their tusks hanging on the barbarian soldiers. They would occasionally shake their heads and flew out the strings on their teeth.

"The barbarian light soldiers who shot on both wings! Let Meng Xin lead his troops to charge along the slope of Cangshan Mountain! The camp formed a formation to fight against the vine armored soldiers!" Guan Yu, who was in the central army, felt a sense of pride and awe in his heart as he watched these exciting results. In the past seven or eight years, there had been such a refreshing and fierce battle, so he also issued military orders to demand a counterattack.

The barbarian light soldiers on the opposite side had been trampled and the double blow of the monkey, almost collapsed. Only the vine armored soldiers who were not trampled to death were still relied on their excellent equipment, and they would not be shot to death by crossbow arrows with Teng Shield and insisted on fighting. The key to Guan Yu's attack was the turn of the vine armored soldiers.

"The ambition to trap the formation, die without life, kill—" Gao Shun led two thousand iron-armored soldiers who had not yet officially upgraded to trap the formation camp, carried two thousand five-foot long-blade thick-backed horse-slashing swords, and stepped forward in a murderous manner. Although the charge was not as fast as running for the battlefield, it was also much faster than the infantry arrays of other troops, and it was almost a "neatly trotting" killing attitude.

The discipline can still maintain the queue while trotting. This kind of discipline is itself a killer weapon on the ancient battlefield.

With the clash of weapons, some of the vine armored soldiers actually relied on the double protection of Teng Shield and Vine armor to block the slashing of the Mass Sword. However, because the barbarian soldiers did not line up, they could not form an effective counterattack. They could only be pushed and retreated by the soldiers who were trapped in the formation. If they were not careful, they were stabbed and trampled to death with all their might.

At the same time, the vine armored soldiers only have strong defense, but their quality of swords is also worse than the standard ring-headed swords of the Han army. Therefore, when encountering the iron armored soldiers of the Han army, they are at most "unable to break each other's defense", and Gao Shun is not afraid at all.

As the sporadic vine armored soldiers on the periphery were killed one after another, the King Ugo, who was commanding the vine armored soldiers, also realized the seriousness of the problem and shouted loudly to try to gather the vine armored soldiers under his command, so that the vine armored soldiers would also form a formation to fight.

Unfortunately, the camp was also waiting for the dense array of vine armored soldiers to fight. Seeing that more and more vine armored soldiers gathered under the flag of King Ugo, Gao Shun personally shouted to lead the team to charge, and ordered the iron armored soldiers to take out two cans of brown sugar and sticky turtle oil they distributed before the battle.

The fungus armor is not as easily ignited by a little Mars as written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so it is impossible to kill a large scale with rockets. However, it is absolutely fine with the addition of the moor bottle.

I didn't take out the moor bottle before because the enemy was too sparse and wasted with a bottle. If I couldn't smash it correctly, it would be in vain. Once I was in a group, even if I couldn't smash the target, I could accidentally hurt his teammates, and my efficiency would immediately double.

"Clang~Clang~Hula~" The crisp sounds of pottery and the rolling hiss of flames instantly caused countless wails. The vine armor and turbulent oil instantly turned into a human-shaped torch.

"Uh--Save me! Kill me!" Many vine armored soldiers were tragic howling like a pig, and they couldn't help but draw their swords and commit suicide to end the pain.

Countless soldiers tried to roll and take off their armor, even if they tear off large pieces of flesh and blood, they would not care about it. When they took off, they were stabbed to death by the Ma Jian with one sword.

Only a few of them were very brave enough to rush towards the Han army, hugged the Han army and rolled and burned to death together, but they were all stabbed by seven or eight horse-killing swords, and died even worse than Dong Tianbao's death in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".

There are many such tragic deaths. The only remaining are the soldiers who roll on the spot and wait for death, or the easternmost soldiers of a few fronts, because the battle lines are arranged close to Erhai Lake, they jumped into Erhai Lake and jumped into the lake to commit suicide in order to put out the fire. Drowning is more comfortable than burning to death.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu did not intend to let go. He immediately handed over the command of the central army to Li Su, who was supervising the battle. Then Guan Yu personally led a thousand cavalry from the Han army to search and charge along the shore of Erhai Lake. When he saw someone jumping into the lake and Erhai Lake, he directly charged and trampled and killed, and would not wait for anyone to gain a foothold. This was clearly a killing.

All the array of vine armored soldiers were broken and broken by the turbulent oil bottles, and the scattered soldiers were surrounded and killed by the soldiers who were trapped in the formation. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, King Wugo wanted to flee with his personal guards. Unfortunately, there were generally no war horses in the southern barbarians. At this time, he gave up the formation and fled, and was trampled and charged from behind by Guan Yu, and his death was extremely miserable.

King Wugo's helmet was decorated with peacock feathers that were even more gorgeous than Sun Wukong. It was so conspicuous. Guan Yu rushed from behind and personally swung the Qinglong sword to send him on the way.

A sword flashed, seven or eight peacock feathers splattered into the sky, and a big head rose up with a blood fountain. The barbarian kings, who had tens of thousands of residents, were nourished, even their blood pressure was particularly high. They were honored to suffer from the rare three high diseases of this era. The blood thrust in the neck was more than ten feet high, and they died so much that they were very ornamental.

Just before King Wugo was beheaded by Guan Yu himself, King Mulu had already been with his mount elephant. Because of its gorgeous decoration, he was greeted by hundreds of monkeys and dozens of tinea bottles, burning the bones to the point of nowhere.

"Quick, retreat quickly! Retreat and defend the city of Yu County!" At this point, the Lord of the Gui Cave knew that everything was going to be in full swing, and just wanted to escape with great disgrace.

Unfortunately, in this battle today, they were going out of the city and heading south for 20 miles. It was so difficult for them to return north twenty miles under Guan Yu's cavalry.

As the fewer and fewer personal guards around him killed, the soldiers scattered in groups. Guan Yu rushed to the back of the Lord of the Cave and slashed his head, ending his pain.
