Great Song Pirate

Chapter 401 War Elephant
When this black-armored army headed for Huazhou City mightily, the city of Huazhou was already in chaos. Li Xiaowen put on his helmet and armor and climbed to the top of the city himself. His worries still became a reality.

The news from the sea surprised him. He did not expect such a problem. When his navy was defeated by this unknown fleet in the open sea yesterday, he sent scouts to patrol the river mouth. It's not that he doesn't want to set up defenses at the mouth of the river, but that he no longer has this ability. When he took stock of the forces he could mobilize yesterday, he found sadly that after all these troubles, he not only failed to catch this inexplicably appearing The enemy's tail, on the contrary, basically used up all the troops he could use.

In order to rescue Dazhanhaikou, he sent the most elite cavalry and elephant soldiers in Huazhou. The remaining soldiers and horses here are less than [-]. After being defeated by this fleet one after another, he is now able to mobilize only less than [-] troops in Huazhou. With his current strength, it is undoubtedly impossible to control the area around the river mouth. Ma, he feels that he can't even defend the city, let alone divide his troops to garrison the river mouth again?So he had no choice but to shrink his troops and fortify Huazhou City with all his strength. Apart from that, he was unable to carry out any sorties.

Now he knows how big the appetite of this Song people fleet is. It turns out that their targets are not only those coastal villages and towns, they will actually attack his Huazhou City on a large scale. Hurry up to the nearby counties and counties for help, now he just wants to drag these invading enemies here, buy some time for An Nanguo, and wipe out these thugs who harassed them under his Huazhou city in one fell swoop.

There is basically not enough preparation time for Huazhou City for a distance of more than ten miles. If it is a fast horse, it only takes an incense stick of time to go back and forth. When you get the Skeleton Army (Li Xiaowen can only call this fleet temporarily) After the news of the large-scale invasion, he immediately summoned all the soldiers and horses in Huazhou City, gathered in the direction near the sea, and made a posture of preparing for war. The city walls here are not thick, so he can only place most of the soldiers and horses in the Outside the city, guarding the main road leading to the city gate, he still has a glimmer of hope. This skeleton army is good at water warfare, but may not be good at land warfare. In this case, he still has a glimmer of hope. He wants to fight this skeleton army. The army fought decisively under the city, even if they could not defeat them, at least they must hold them back.

In addition, he immediately dispatched troops to mobilize all the ships at the wharf of Huazhou City and along the coast, and sailed out of the city. Of course, he would not expect to rely on these small ships to stop the huge fleet at In the Xiangjiang River, but he still hopes to rely on these messy ships to slow down the fleet, because he knows that many weapons they have never seen are installed on these ships. These terrifying weapons alone were enough to destroy the resistance of his army, so he had to send troops to drive these local ships out of Huazhou City, lined up on the Xiangjiang River, and scuttled them urgently in the river. Several larger ships hope to block the river, so that the opponent's fleet cannot quickly pass through the Xiangjiang River and approach Huazhou City.

When Huazhou City was busy, an army composed of [-] soldiers and horses had already appeared in Huazhou City's line of sight like a torrent. The hearts of the Annan defenders began to sink.

Yang Zaixing, Lin Xiong and other generals rode their horses and led the infantry and the navy troops mobilized from various ships to slowly press towards Huazhou City. When he saw an Annan soldier and horse appearing on the road, Yang Zaixing lifted his Putting the spear in his hand, the army behind him immediately spread out to the two wings, forming a number of horizontal formations, holding their ground, forming a formidable front like a forest of spears in front of the array, and the rest of them all took off their backs. The bow and crossbow are ready for battle, and the skull flag flutters in the wind.

A team of mules and horses dragged [-] bronze cannons and immediately deployed on the spot. The artillerymen immediately unloaded the mules and horses from the gun carriages, and began to quickly build a position on the spot.

Chen Huijie straightened his body on the back of his beloved elephant, raised his eyes to look at the black-armored army on the opposite side, and tried his best to comfort the sitting elephant. Today, he is very angry. Like all his subordinates, he does not know The identity of the army on the opposite side, but he knows that this army of unknown origin has brought great shame to the Annan people. It is this skeleton army that Annan has prepared for a long time to conquer Champa. He defeated them in one fell swoop and burned their Dazhanhaikou into ruins. He didn't know why the other party would do this, but he had no choice but to face this skeleton army head-on today.

As the commander of the Huazhou War Elephant Battalion, he has the responsibility to keep this army out of Huazhou City. Although his strength is far less than that of the opponent, he does not feel a little bit of fear, because he can rely on this army under his command. Thirty war elephants, in his opinion, no one can hinder the fierce offensive of his elephant camp. He has full confidence in the war elephants he has trained by himself. Before the two armies, as long as his war elephants urge After the attack, no one can stop their impact. He will command his war elephants and soldiers to drive this strange army that dared to invade their Annan Kingdom back into the sea. The thick elephant skin is naturally Their best armor is invulnerable. The tall and mighty elephant is built to be unstoppable by trampling on the enemy. On his war elephant, he is the master of the battlefield.

When the opposite army holding the skeleton flag stopped, Chen Huijie raised his six-meter-long spear on his elephant, and the messenger sitting behind him immediately blew the horn, a low-pitched horn The sound immediately resounded in front of the two armies, and after hearing the sound of the horn, the war elephants immediately let out a huge roar, and the elephant legs as thick as trees stepped forward. They stepped down and slowly moved towards the line of the black-armored army opposite them. Immediately behind these war elephants were five hundred Annan soldiers holding javelins. Under the cover of these war elephants, they moved towards the opposite The Fubo army rushed over.

The soldiers of the Fubo Army who had just set up their positions immediately began to commotion when they saw these weird things that suddenly appeared in front of them. For them, it was the first time in their lives that they saw such things being used in combat They just saw an animal like an elephant just a few days ago, but they just landed today, and they met such a guy. Seeing these war elephants pressing down like a mountain of meat, everyone started to panic Get up, involuntarily began to slowly back up.

Both Yang Zaixing and Lin Xiong saw this strange elephant array charging towards them, and they couldn't help being surprised. Neither of them had seen such a thing before, and when they saw these elephants appearing, they both secretly He was startled, if it was a cavalry rushing from the opposite side, Yang Zaixing thought he had enough ways to deal with them, but he never thought that he would encounter such a difficult opponent when he first arrived here, obviously he underestimated this place before coming here Annan's army.

These war elephants are more than ten feet tall, and they carry something like a large sedan chair on their backs. On the back of each war elephant are seven Annanites wearing heavy robes. Each war elephant has one or two people holding A giant spear that was two feet long, the rest of the people were all holding a horn bow, and the war elephant was covered with a layer of leather armor. Faced with such a monster, even Yang Zaixing felt a little at a loss.

"Hold on! Hold on! Don't panic! Retreat and slash against orders!" Although Yang Zaixing felt a headache, he immediately realized the crisis in front of him. If the troops were allowed to panic, then if these monsters rushed over, their The battle formation will be broken in an instant, and they will be in vain today!Yang Zaixing knew how important the morale before the battle was. From the corner of his eye, he saw the terrified expressions of the two wings and the subordinates behind him, so he raised his gun and roared loudly.

Following Yang Zaixing's roar, the Fubo army's line immediately stabilized. Although everyone was still a little frightened, when they saw Yang Zaixing standing still in front of the formation, everyone somewhat calmed down.

Looking at the elephant soldiers slowly approaching from the opponent, Yang Zaixing's thoughts changed rapidly, and after only a moment of thinking, he immediately sent an order: "The artillery is ready, these monsters on the opposite side of the target will swarm to the front of the formation, and we will also let them Let them see our amazing stuff!"

Chen Huijie urged the elephants who were sitting down, looked at the array that was starting to commotion on the opposite side, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was already familiar with the battle elephants, and in his impression, no army could bear it. With the impact of his war elephant battalion, these ignorant skeleton army, it's time for them to see how powerful we Annan people are!He let out a roar on the elephant: "Annan warriors! Let this damn army see how powerful we are! Rush up and trample them to death!"

Following his roar, his subordinates immediately whipped the war elephants at the same time, and the whipped war elephants immediately sped up, let out a roar that shook the sky, and rushed towards the Fubo army array frantically, followed by Those Annan soldiers holding javelins also let out a cry at the same time, and started to run wildly. They thought that as long as the war elephants rushed into the opponent's battle formation, the opponent would immediately collapse, and victory was for them , is within reach!
On the ground, as the war elephants went crazy, there was a dull vibration. Yang Zaixing's face was tense, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. The spear he held up high immediately waved down, and let out a loud roar: "Lei Gong Pao! I put!"

Following Yang Zaixing's stern roar, flames erupted from the artillery formations that had already been prepared, and then a sky-shattering roar erupted. Twenty Leigong cannons shot out a ball of flames almost at the same time, and the hot iron bullets Flying out of the gun barrel with a whistling sound, they rushed straight towards the group of war elephants that were rushing in the distance.

Chen Huijie looked at the Black Armored Army approaching gradually, a sense of pride gradually rose in his heart, he even began to despise Li Xiaowen, isn't it just a bunch of pirates who have never seen the world?He actually made him feel like he was facing a great enemy, mobilizing his troops to make Huazhou City full of wind and rain!If he had immediately dispatched his war elephant battalion to attack when the enemy army landed, I am afraid that these lifeless skeleton troops would have been driven into the sea by his war elephant battalion by now!He began to tighten his grip on the spear in his hand, and locked his target on the generals on horseback in front of the opposing formation. As long as he killed them, he would basically be sure to win this battle!The war elephant he was sitting on seemed to sense his excitement, and began to pick up his pace...

The sudden roar was like rolling thunder from the ground, and immediately spread across the battlefield. Unfortunately, several war elephants were hit by this sudden iron rain, and a blood mist immediately rose from the huge elephant's body. The broken flesh All of them soared into the air, and these war elephants that were running quickly stopped suddenly as if they had hit a mountain. The huge body immediately fell down, and the Annan soldiers carried on it would be heavy from the elephants on their backs. The Annan elephant soldiers who were caught off guard had not figured out what had happened, and they were thrown in a mess. They had no time to get up, and they were thrown by the elephants who continued to charge. It hit the ground heavily, and immediately the bones were broken, and it became a team of flesh and blood.

The remaining elephants had never been frightened like this before, so they immediately panicked. These war elephants were originally afraid of being frightened, but today they were suddenly hit by such a blow and heard such a loud noise, so they immediately became mad The riders above were also frightened half to death by the sudden roar, and when they saw the bloody elephants of the shot elephants around them, the riders also immediately panicked. He became flustered, he didn't know what the opponent used to beat these elephants so badly, the originally neat elephant formation suddenly became chaotic as if it had been stabbed into a hornet's nest.

Chen Huijie did not expect such a situation at all, the war elephant under his seat suddenly stopped frantically, then turned around suddenly, and rushed back in the direction he came from, he was caught off guard and was almost not thrown off the elephant immediately, The long spear in his hand had to fall down, but the subordinates behind him were not so lucky. The two of them immediately couldn't stand still, and fell headlong into the war elephant. Before they could get up, they were frantically The war elephant was trampled into a meat pie, and the death was as miserable as it could be.

And those Annan infantry who followed the elephant team did not expect such a situation to happen. Before they could figure out what happened in front of them, these frightened war elephants ran around frantically, and some elephants They turned back and rushed into their crowd, those Annan infantrymen who followed were immediately unlucky, many were trampled to death on the spot, and the elephant's trunk was whipped around like a giant whip, blocking them Annan's soldiers flew up into the air, and when they landed again, they were already dying. A few elephants panicked and rushed out sideways. The thick and long tusks immediately poked the waist and belly of the nearby war elephants. Inserted into the bodies of these war elephants, the pained war elephants became even more crazy, jumping wildly, and no one could control them anymore. A group of majestic elephants suddenly fell under this round of bombardment. The earth collapsed and became a piece of loose sand.

Seeing the Annan Elephant Soldiers in chaos, the Fubo Army members who were still extremely nervous cheered immediately. This elephant soldier looked extremely powerful. Who knew that they would be defeated immediately after only being greeted by a Thunder Cannon. Dude It's just bumpkins, of course they can't stand such a high-level stuff!As a result, the morale of the Fubo army, which was somewhat low just now, immediately rose, and the morale just now was swept away.

"Let me release the swarm!" Yang Zaixing immediately seized this opportunity and ordered again loudly.

As a result, the front covers of the round wooden barrels that were carried to the front of the array were immediately opened, and the fuses were lit with tinder, and the rockets in these barrels immediately swarmed out like a swarm of bees, and the sky was full of rockets flying by. Smoke trails, this rain of arrows was also extremely shocking, those Annan soldiers who rushed into the range were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground. In an instant, the Annan elephant soldiers collapsed and scattered like birds and beasts.

A war elephant was obviously in a daze, and the rider on it had been led to nowhere, and there were only three panicked Annan elephant soldiers left on the whole elephant, with at least ten rockets stuck in the elephant. , but because of its thick skin, it was not able to cause fatal damage to it. Under the pain of this war elephant, it has long been unable to distinguish east, west, north and south. Later, the Fubo army, who was rushing towards Huazhou City, was shocked when they heard that, they all stopped and shot arrows at the crazy war elephant, hoping to knock it to the ground.

But these arrows shot at the war elephant, like scratching its boots, and could not seriously injure it at all, but shot the last three Annan soldiers who stayed in the elephant's back, which aroused its ferocity even more , and rushed towards the battle formation of the Fubo army even more swiftly. If it was allowed to rush into the battle formation, the Fubo army would definitely be overwhelmed by it. The cannon didn't even hit the war elephant. Amidst the huge cannon sound, the war elephant howled, frantically swung its long trunk, and continued to rush towards the Fubo army.

At this moment, Yang Zaixing let out a stern roar, and straightened his body like Yue Zhiyuan's hesitation. He swung the bright silver steel spear in his hand, urged the horse under his crotch, and charged towards this place like thunder and lightning. The mad elephant rushed forward, and there was a voice of exclamation behind him: "General, be careful...!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiong also swung the big knife in his hand, urged the mount under his crotch to rush out, and attacked the mad elephant and Yang Zaixing, one left and one right...
