The command post of the Fifth Reun is located north of the Dangyang River. It is a temporary earthen mountain, several meters high. Similar small man-made earthen mounds are everywhere in the rear. The staff members stood on the head with a "Thousand Mile Mile Mile" in hand, observing every detail of Liu Xiu's array and marking it on the battlefield map.

Of course, Liu Xiu captured Gaiyan and Yuyang Tuqi many years ago, and he had long known that Wei State had such a "military and national weapon". Although he was not able to imitate it, Liu Xiu's rear army relied on burning straw to produce smoke, or hid some soldiers in the village and woods, covering the eyes of the fifth reunion.

However, every arrangement of the left and right wings could not be hidden at all. Lang Guan Yinshi was ordered to stare at the fifteen giant elephants of Ma Cheng. These elephant soldiers were as if they were standing out in the flock of chickens, which was too conspicuous. He reported to the fifth reunion every half of the moment:

"Your Majesty, there are more than ten elephants in the Wu army's battle behind the formation, and they have not moved to this day."

"Liu Xiu probably doesn't plan to send the elephant soldiers into battle."

Wu Lun is very clear about the opponent's temperament, which is brave and timid. He dares to fight the fifth Lun, but he is cautious in every detail.

"It must have been the time when the attack on Nagasaka at night, our army used the 'swagger' to alert the snakes."

The so-called swarm is the weapon of Liu Long and Feng Yi that night. It is not a pure firearm. It is just a "transitional product" made by the way when the Fifth Rein ordered the craftsmen to test the "target product". Although the actual effect is not good, it can indeed be scary when it debuts for the first time, and it is better than nothing.

On the battlefield, there is also a "swarm" close relative weapon that happens to be used to deal with elephant soldiers. Unfortunately, it seems that it is useless now...

But soon, the judgment of the fifth reunion was slapped in the face:

"His Majesty.."

"The enemy's elephant soldiers have moved!"

...

The elephant soldiers attacked from the junction of the left and middle divisions of the Han army. Even the fifth reunion had to admit that when these giants appeared on the battlefield, they shocked both Han and Wei, far more than the semi-finished firearms that had been "flying around" a few days ago.

The elephant strides forward, with big ears on both sides like palm fan, roaring loudly, four legs like beams and pillars, and the Han army nearby preparing for war gives way to everyone, fearing that they will be stepped on.

Fear is right. When Ma Cheng followed Deng Yu to conquer Jiaozhou in the south, the governor of Jiaozhou launched Luoren and fought with elephants. The Han army was outside the Nanhai City. He was shocked by the group of giants. The horse was shocked when he saw the elephants. The infantry was even weaker. As a result, the Luoren rode the elephants into the formation. They killed all directions. The long nose gently rolled up the person, and then threw blood. The huge elephant hooves stepped on the man and smashed them to pieces. Although not many people actually killed, it caused great panic. The Luoren took the opportunity to cover up the killing, which led to a small defeat in the Han army.

In the end, it was through political inducement. Deng Yu asked Luo people to join the Han army, and then turned defeat into victory. He attached great importance to this army. He once said to Ma Cheng: "The Fifth Reun belongs to Hexi, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liaodong. Therefore, horses are endless. The cavalry in the north cannot defeat, but there are also giant elephants in the southeast. In the future, Your Majesty fought with the Fifth Reun in Lianghuai, Jianghan, and the elephant soldiers may be able to supplement the shortcomings of cavalry."

Ma Cheng listened and guarded Jiaozhou for several years. By stealing from Luo people, he had summarized a set of methods of application: Although Luo Yue domesticated wild elephants and even allowed them to farm for themselves, the tactics were still very primitive: there was no elephant carriage on the back of the war elephant, and only a driver tied himself to the back of the elephant.

After Ma Cheng joined the elephant soldiers under his command, Deng Yu helped him make a little improvement. He first set up an elephant carriage on the back of the battle elephant, and sat a archer and a spearman in the carriage. In front of the elephant, there were elephant control hands, and the fragile parts of the elephant were covered with cowhide, making it more difficult to attack. Next to the elephant, 72 Jiaozhou soldiers were arranged, and 25 disciples were supported by the elephant behind the elephant - it was like the "one-horse" configuration of the chariot soldiers in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period.

So, a total of 1,500 soldiers were advancing with the elephant formation, and they would assist the elephants, step on the enemy's army, and trap the enemy's formation!

Of course, Ma Cheng knew that the Wei army was in a uniform array, and even if the Han army had cavalry, they could not rush at all. However, the battle elephants were different. When they were sprinting in a short distance, their speed was not much slower than horses. Their charge was by no means a simple spear formation that could stop it. The huge individual strength was enough to allow elephant soldiers to crash into the enemy formation like a chariot and a giant tree. In addition, they waved their teeth and fought, and rolled up the enemy with their long noses, which easily tear the gaps into the formation, allowing the soldiers who were traveling with them to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Ma Cheng put a betel nut in his mouth and chewed it. The red juice overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Then he held a spear and shouted loudly: "Han will win!"

The battle of the elephant soldiers did indeed bring some stimulation to the suppressed Han army array, and they also shouted and their morale was boosted.

The Wei army on the opposite side was not so relaxed, but saw fifteen elephant soldiers slowly stopping under the control of the driver, and then advanced in a horizontal formation, like a fast moving high wall, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

Facing these giant beasts with long noses and fangs, the faces of the soldiers in the front row of Wei army were blue and white, and they felt the ground tremble slightly. The small stones on the river beach behind them even danced, and the spear in their hands could not be held very steadily...

The light cavalry arranged in the array were even worse. Seeing that the elephant soldiers were approaching, the knights could still hold on, but they were shocked when they sat down. For horses from the north of the subway, this was a ferocious beast that had never been seen before. Their figure and smell made the war horses that could rush to the formation tremble and want to leave.

This is the effect Ma Cheng wants: the war elephants do not need to contact the enemy, which can cause panic. In front of their charge, even the Wei army will be invincible due to fear!

Seeing that the elephant soldiers who were shaking their heads were getting closer and closer to the enemy and were about to enter the range of crossbows, they saw the Wei formation suddenly separate. Ma Qian thought they wanted to pass the elephant by giving up the passage to avoid casualties and collapse, but soon after the Wei formation, things like "Wu Gang Car" were pushed out from behind, and placed in the front row...

Ma Cheng felt ridiculous. Can this thing block cavalry and block giant elephants? Just one need to swing the elephant trunk to throw a Wuhan steel car weighing several jin to the side.

However, when the Wei army engineers removed the baffle from the "chariot", Ma Cheng's face became solemn!

Those "chariots" were filled with strange tubes, and there was no idea what was stuffed inside. More than ten cars aimed at the elephant strolling forward. A Wei soldier stood behind him with torches. With a drum sound, the torches came to the back of the car...

At first, silent smoke came out of the car, and what happened next shocked everyone on the battlefield!

The fire suddenly appeared, accompanied by a whizzing sound, and "rockets" shot out rapidly from the van, crossing the horizon, like a thunderous attack!

This scene made Luo soldiers who followed the war elephant stop and were stunned. As for the Han soldiers who were fortunate to experience the night before, they almost exclaimed in unison: "Sunday meteor?"

Regardless of whether it was a meteor during the day or not, the smoke arrows were like rain for a moment. These rockets attacked the elephant formation more than 200 steps. They were lucky and thrust directly on the elephant's ears and noses, and were bleeding for a while. They became crazy and began to spin on the spot, shaking their bodies, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but they also threw the driver down and stepped to death.

As for those rockets that landed, some of them made crackling explosions. Although the damage was not great, they were enough to scare the elephant group. They no longer listened to the drivers and regarded the Wei formation that kept firing rockets as a dangerous road. They no longer just walked forward, but instead scattered, either running slanted towards the riverside, or turning around, and rushed towards the Han soldiers and Luo soldiers who were following behind...

For a time, the Jiaozhou soldiers were in chaos and were only concerned about escaping from the crazy elephant foot trampling. There were heavy casualties, so how could they have the intention to fight the Wei army?

Even though two or three elephants rushed towards the Wei soldiers, they lost their companions and infantry covers, and were just prey to be slaughtered under crossbows and spears. They quickly fell to the ground with a bang. The unethical Wei soldiers even rushed to cut their elephant trunks and ears, hoping to use as spoils.

However, in just half a moment, the elephant soldier, who was regarded as the magic weapon for victory, actually lost in the "small trick" of the fifth reunion, which became a joke. The betel nut in General Ma's mouth was not fragrant at all, and he just stared at this scene in a daze, which was difficult to accept for a while.

The morale of the Han army, which had previously inspired the war elephants, suddenly plummeted. On the contrary, after being shocked, the Wei army burst into cheers!

"The Great Wei Dynasty has the help of the Fire God Zhurong!"

This is very uncomfortable to the veterans of the Han army. The Han fire virtues are fire in the south. They fought under Yan for many years, but were defeated by the enemy's "Zhurong Divine Fire" repeatedly. Is this God's will?

Cen Peng, who was in charge of the Central Army for the Fifth Reun, also secretly called out. He was confident that he could curb the elephant formation without firearms, but the emperor was too able to hide. How many good things did the Central Army from Guanzhong not share with the local border troops?

Cen Peng sent someone to congratulate the fifth reunion and asked by the way, what is the name of this surprisingly winning "Zhurong Car".

The fifth Lun, who was sitting firmly in the central army, laughed: "It is not Zhurong to go back to the general of the expedition to the south, but a firearm! This thing is called a fire van. The gunpowder made by the alchemist is a guide, tied to an arrow, and dozens of pieces are stuffed into a barrel, then placed on the car, ignited by a bus, and burst out at the same time."

The fifth ren, who was firmly sitting in the central army, laughed: "Of course, it can also be called the 'Shen Ji Arrow'!"

Although Cen Peng and the Wei army soldiers regarded it as a "magic weapon", Di Wulun didn't care about this thing. It was just a "transition firearm" similar to the "flying" on the eve of the past. It was only because it happened to be incompatible with the Xiang soldiers, which made the enemy familiar, and that was the case.

"Like the opponent is like a soldier, he is strong on the outside and does not rely on him."

The fifth reunion gave Cen Peng a clue: "Tell the General of the Conquest South that although the firearms carried by the Beijing Army today are numerous, regardless of fireworks or horns, or fire vans, they are all killing chickens and small knives. They can only kill 'ox'!"

After getting the reward, Cen Peng glanced at the back. Are there those heavy guys who were pulled by ox carts and were always covered in cloth to be careful to prevent water and rain?

Just as the fifth reunion was busy circulating messages with generals from various departments, he observed the yin consciousness of the Han army in the thousand-mile mirror, and once again reported:

"Your Majesty! The enemy's central army is advancing!"

...

It is undeniable that the two were first elephant soldiers and then fire vans. The two took turns to fight, which shocked the soldiers on the front. Even the Wei army was not familiar with the advance and retreat of the fire vans and became disorderly.

The Han army had 20,000 troops, and they suddenly advanced under this situation. They approached Cen Peng's troops who were facing Dangyang River. Although they were fired several times, the visual effect was eliminated, and the Han army did not collapse and went straight forward to fight with the Wei army.

The enemy acted as a general attack on Soha, and the fifth replies transferred more than 10,000 people to assist Cen Peng...

Just when the battle was in full swing in the middle of the city, under the shadow of burning straw smoke, another Han army quietly set off from the base camp two minutes ago, traveling through the sparse woods north of Dangyang County, and meeting with Jia Fu, who had been waiting here.

"His Majesty……"

Although Jia Fu had received Liu Xiu's gift bag and was ordered to wait here, when the Han Emperor himself appeared in front of him in military uniform, Jia Junwen was still unbelievable.

When he was in Western Shu, he was already used to Gongsun Shu's arrogant and cowardly. His son, who was a daughter, could not sit in the palace. As the emperor, he should have been in charge of the central government and could retreat calmly even if he was defeated, but Liu Xiu wanted to fight himself?

The chaos caused by the elephant soldiers and the gamble that the central army put in one fell swoop were just the arrangements made by Liu Xiu to attract the Fifth Reservoir Team. He knew very well that in the case of a total disadvantage, there was only one way left to turn defeat into victory.

"General Jia has the courage to be inappropriate, so how can he drive me forward and shock the enemy with a strange edge?"

Liu Xiu was still talking and laughing. His hands crossed over the two sides of the Dangyang River for more than ten miles, pointing to the Fifth Reunification Base Camp where some gaps appeared after the reserve team sent it out.

There are at most more than 10,000 guards there and more than 1,000 light cavalry cruising. Even if the fifth reunion is buried with ambush, as long as there are Danyang elite soldiers and Jia Fu, Liu Xiu is confident that he can fight one against two and three!

"I want to personally general Danyang soldiers and take the enemy's head. As long as I force Wei Wu to retreat, the crisis will be resolved!"

Jia Fu looked at Liu Xiu in a daze, impressed by his courage.

The blood that had been cooling in his chest for a long time began to boil. Gongsun Shu and the fifth reunion were all cowardly rats. This is what he, Jia Fu, has been looking for for his life, heroic master!

"I would like to follow Your Majesty's tail!"

Jia Fu Yingnuo, he was praised by Liu Xiu and Feng Yi as "a thousand miles away", so what is Liu Xiu?

Jia Junwen raised his head, looked at Liu Xiu's fearless bearded eyebrows, and thought to himself: "Maybe it called..."
