"Boom~"

There was a burst of thunderous noises on the battlefield. This was not really thunder, nor was it Li Zhen's artillery firing, but the sound of thousands of elephants charging forward together. These elephants wearing rattan armor

The war elephants spread their thick legs and came like a wall of flesh. Their terrifying momentum could smash everything in front of them into pieces.

After Wang Xuance received Li Zhen's order, he immediately ordered the skitarii composed of Tianzhu people on both wings to make a detailed attack posture. However, the cavalry of the Chinese army did not move. As a result, the Chaori King side did not think much at all and immediately ordered their own cavalry.

The army took the initiative to attack, and the elephant soldiers in the front line also began to accelerate their attack, preparing to trample Li Zhen's central army into pulp in one fell swoop.

Seeing the herd of war elephants charging towards them like a mountain of meat, the Taiwanese military academy graduates behind Li Zhen all looked pale. No matter what cruel training they received in the military academy, compared with the situation on the real battlefield, they still looked pale.

Far inferior. Even if they are the elites of the military academy, when they face the battlefield for the first time, their performance may not be as good as that of a small soldier.

In fact, let alone those graduates, even Fang Yiai, who came from Xu Yongwu, couldn't help but change his face when he saw so many war elephants rushing towards him for the first time. Before, he only thought that the war elephants were huge.

But it seemed a little clumsy, but when the war elephants charged, they discovered that these huge war elephants were not clumsy at all. Instead, they ran very fast, and their long trunks were waving.

Unable to resist.

However, in comparison, Li Zhen and his cavalry seemed very calm, and even faced this kind of charge, they did not even frown. When the opponent's war elephant rushed within the range of the artillery, they ambush

The artillery units on both wings finally received the order. The artillery that had already adjusted its angle was ignited by the artillerymen, and then made a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of fiery solid cannonballs flew out and crashed into the elephant soldiers with extremely powerful kinetic energy. As a result, several blood-red passages suddenly appeared in the opponent's originally airtight elephant soldiers.

A shrill elephant cry kept ringing. Some unlucky elephants were pierced through the head by cannonballs. Their heavy bodies suddenly fell to the battlefield, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

However, the number of elephant deaths caused by artillery shells is only a small number. The key is the deafening roar when the artillery is fired. This loud noise like a thunderbolt from the blue has a great impact on war elephants, especially when the distance is not too far.

Under such circumstances, quite a few of the war elephants were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, and their forward pace also slowed down significantly.

But this was just the beginning. Under the command of the artillery commander, the second batch of artillery that had been prepared opened fire immediately. As a result, hundreds of artillery shells flew, causing considerable losses to the war elephant herd. Especially that kind of artillery.

The scene of flying flesh and blood has a strong impact on the war elephant.

Elephants are inherently very smart animals. Like humans, they know how to seek good luck and avoid disaster. Although this seems to be an advantage, it is a huge disadvantage on the battlefield because they know how to escape when faced with danger.

Therefore, when faced with a situation that threatens life and death but is unable to resist, these war elephants will no longer listen to the driving of the elephant slaves, but will start to retreat continuously, and may even go crazy. And as long as one war elephant goes crazy, then

It will trigger a chain reaction, causing more and more war elephants to go crazy together.

Li Zhen and his men have long understood the temper of elephants, so they are not optimistic about this traditional Tianzhu army. Although the Tianzhu army they annexed has many elephant soldiers, they are all regarded as logistics by them.

For military use, although elephants are not suitable for battlefields, they are still very qualified for transportation.

The army of King Chaori had not had much contact with Li Zhen's army before. Most of their understanding of Li Zhen's side was from the original Pallava dynasty. Although they had heard about the power of artillery

Some people, but they don't care much about it. After all, in their minds, they can't imagine the power of this super-era weapon.

In addition, during Li Zhen's early invasion of Central Tianzhu, all he encountered was resistance from small groups of troops, so it was not worth using artillery at all. It is precisely because of this that the Chaori King side seriously underestimated the power of artillery, and even more

Unexpectedly, the huge elephant soldiers that he had finally organized were restrained. King Chaori and his allies were in a state of confusion for a while.

However, Chaori King and the others understood it too late. The charging war elephants in front had been beaten into chaos by waves of shells. Soon some war elephants began to go crazy and started to attack those around them with their long tusks.

At the same time, the four thick elephant legs began to trample everywhere. As a result, from time to time, the bones and tendons of the unlucky soldiers were trampled, and the screams could be heard throughout the sky.

Wang Xuance, who was in command of the army, saw that the opponent's elephant soldiers were in chaos, but a cold smile appeared on his face. He handed a command flag to the messenger and said: "Fire rockets!"

In addition to the loud noise of artillery, elephants are also most afraid of fire. Therefore, the most effective weapon to deal with elephants is not only artillery, but also rockets, and rockets can explode. This is a threat to elephants.

Stronger, especially in this chaotic situation, can maximize the power of the rocket.

Following Wang Xuance's order, a sharp scream soon sounded in the military formation, and then thick rockets rose into the sky, rushing into the chaotic herd of elephants in the blink of an eye, and then exploded into a sea of ​​chaos.

, black smoke rose, and large black pits appeared on the ground, surrounded by blood and broken corpses, including people and elephants.

The rocket exploded in the elephant herd, which frightened the war elephants even more. They all backed away like crazy, not daring to rush forward at all. Although the elephant slaves scolded them desperately, it was a pity that the elephants not only did not listen, but instead

They started to go crazy, stomping and bumping into King Chaori's army with red eyes, and the entire front line was suddenly in chaos.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xuance, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, finally issued the order for a general attack. For a moment, the 20,000 cavalrymen of the Chinese army were like tigers emerging from the cage, quickly rushing through the already chaotic front line of the elephant soldiers. In the blink of an eye,

They met the cavalry of King Chaori.

Unfortunately, although they were all cavalry, the Chaori King's cavalry did not increase their speed at all because the elephant soldiers were in the front line. In addition, their weapons and equipment lagged behind Li Zhen's cavalry, so they were killed by the prairie cavalry as soon as they made contact.

The formation was in chaos, and even a few brave cavalrymen quickly penetrated the opponent's cavalry formation and began to kill the enemy's rearmost infantry.

In the age of cold weapons, the cavalry was undoubtedly the king of land warfare. Even in the age of firearms, the cavalry still existed for a long time. It was not until the emergence of tanks that the glory of the cavalry was ended.

Although the number of King Chaori's cavalry is large, their speed is not improved, and the cavalry without speed is not much better than the infantry. In addition, the quality and combat power of the army are problematic, so King Chaori's 30,000 cavalry are in trouble.

Against the 20,000 prairie cavalry, they had no power to fight back. As for the infantry at the rear, they became targets for the cavalry to charge.

It is precisely because of this that the 20,000 prairie cavalry quickly threw King Chaori's army into chaos. At this time, the 40,000 skitarii behind them also rushed up. They shouted the name of Shiva, the god of destruction,

Following the direction of Li Zhen's arm, he rushed into King Chaori's army like crazy, slashing at the enemy with the exquisite long knife in his hand, with a look of fanaticism on his face. If anyone familiar with history sees this,

They would probably shout in horror: Fanatics!

The Skitarii Corps established by Li Zhen was not a joke, but he really wanted to turn it into a trump card in his hand. After all, the little prairie cavalry he brought alone was not enough to rule the entire Tianzhu.

Therefore, from the beginning, Li Zhen paid close attention to the construction of the Skitarii Army, and he also followed Li Min's suggestion to brainwash the Xiao Jiaojun and educate them on the new Brahmin doctrine three times a day, so that they could remember it.

Li Zhen and Li Yun are their gods, and they cannot violate the will of the gods at any time and anywhere.

And in the Skitarii, every soldier needs to shout slogans praising Li Zhen and Li Yun many times, coupled with intensive training, which makes their bodies and wills in a state of fatigue, so it is easy to make these soldiers

Xiao Jiaojun lost his subjective judgment, and all he could think of was his loyalty to the two popes, which was similar to the pyramid schemes of later generations.

It is precisely because of this kind of brainwashing, and because they have been influenced by Brahmin teachings since they were young, that the Skitarii easily formed a fanatical worship of Li Zhen and Li Yun, and were even willing to sacrifice their lives for the gods.

Everything, naturally becomes more fanatical on the battlefield, and can be said to be brave and unafraid of death.

Moreover, King Chaori's army had already been attacked by the prairie cavalry. The 40,000 fanatic skitarii swarmed forward, which made King Chaori's army completely defeated. He soon lost the will to resist. More than 100,000 troops were defeated by Li Zhen's six soldiers.

Thousands of armies were killed, and rivers of blood flowed.

Because this war broke out in the southern part of the Watapi area, it was historically known as the Battle of Watapi. More than 100,000 troops organized by King Chaori were defeated. Finally, after statistics, the battle dead

There were more than 50,000 people, most of whom were King Chao Ri's troops. Most of the remaining King Chao Ri's troops chose to surrender, and only a few were lucky enough to escape. And it is worth mentioning that Chao Ri King's army

The Japanese king himself also died in the rebellion, a small number of his allies died in the battle, and the rest also chose to surrender.

The Battle of Vatapi marked that Li Zhen finally cleared the way to march into Central Tianzhu. At the same time, the New Brahmanism also began to officially enter the Central Tianzhu area. Coupled with the smooth missionary work in Northern Tianzhu, the teachings of the New Brahmanism finally covered the entire

Tianzhu has officially become a major religion that can be compared with the old Brahman and Buddhism.

The Deccan Plateau, which had not been unified for hundreds of years, was finally reunited by the foreign brothers Li Zhen and Li Yun. What stood in front of them was Northern Tianzhu, where chaos continued!
