Chapter 438 Breaking the Formation
Zhou Junyu saw that the big marshal on the other side was so polite to him, so he stopped embarrassing him, so he nodded and said: "Since the marshal is willing to trust us, then we will never let you down. My request is very simple. Please mobilize all the throwing vehicles of your army for us to use, and you must also equip each throwing vehicle with enough soldiers to be commanded by the subordinates, and the marshal must control your army and be ready to attack at any time, as long as we break the occupation After the human elephant formation, we immediately started to fight back, this battle is sure to win, if we fail to seize this opportunity, then it’s no wonder we didn’t try our best if we fail again!”

Seeing what Zhou Junyu said so firmly, it seemed that breaking Zhanren's elephant array was as simple as playing a house, and he didn't take it seriously at all, so Li Yuanfeng felt a little more at ease. The skeleton army is really powerful, and he just pulled out a person , they are so powerful, maybe they are really sure to break through the elephant formation, anyway, now they have no way out, and they can only give it a go as they asked, so they nodded and agreed: "In that case, then I Listen to your arrangement! Come on! Send the commander of the supply battalion to come..."

As a result, the entire Annan camp immediately became busy. More than a dozen double-stem cannons were set up in the defense line of the Chinese army. It also began to gather behind the defense line. For a while, the defense line of the Annan army was covered with clouds of battle, and it was only waiting for Zhan to attack.

Just after they made all preparations, the sound of rumbling war drums began to sound from the distant horizon, and a large number of black Zhan soldiers began to appear on the horizon, and in the middle were more than 200 Zhan soldiers armed to the teeth Under the guidance of this elephant soldier, the entire line of Zhanren soldiers and horses pressed towards the last line of defense of the Annan people. All the Annan army officers and soldiers became anxious and clenched their hands tightly. The weapon in hand.

Under the control of the elephant driver, the giant elephants lined up in a row and marched towards Annan's army step by step with heavy steps. The war elephant in the center had a luxuriously decorated elephant on its back, and the person riding this elephant was Chalibula, the general of the Champa Kingdom, has been friends with King Zhan since he was a child. In modern times, he is called Fa Xiao. He is very brave and good at fighting, and has made many contributions to Abu Alan.

And this time this elephant soldier was also built by him alone. In order to realize Abu Alan's ideal of recovering the country, he spent three years training this elephant soldier with [-] war elephants. It seems that there are no soldiers and horses in the world that are his opponents, and the previous appearance battle also fully demonstrated the power of his elephant soldiers. The so-called brave Annan army was attacked by his elephant soldiers , Didn't hold on to even half of the incense, and retreated across the board, and under the pursuit of the Zhanren army headed by him, he was defeated for a hundred miles, and now it is time for him to lead his elephant soldiers to make meritorious deeds again. In his eyes, the battle formation of the Annan people in front was like paper, and he could tear it apart at will.

His war elephants are different from ordinary war elephants. They are all selected middle-aged male elephants. The body of the elephant is covered with a thick layer of leather armor, and even the legs of the elephant are covered with a layer of leather armor. The thick-fleshed war elephant is not afraid of ordinary swords, guns, bows and arrows, and what is even more surprising is that a bed crossbow is surprisingly installed in the elephants of the two war elephants next to him. This is also his masterpiece. The combination of the terrifying bed crossbow and the war elephant makes the war elephant even more invincible. If Xu Yi were here, he would definitely applaud his invention. The elephant was armed into an armored vehicle. No wonder Annan's army had no choice but to retreat after encountering this elephant soldier. Under their impact, they had no choice but to retreat. The next big defeat and return.

If it weren't for the fact that he was helpless in the face of these terrifying elephant soldiers, Li Yuanfeng would never have lowered his face to ask for help from the skeleton army. He was really a donkey in Guizhou, and he had no choice but to make such a bad plan. Now he All hopes rested on the hundred soldiers of the skeleton army. If he lost this battle again, he would have no way out.

Li Yuanfeng was also fully clothed, sitting on the horse's back, looking at the terrifying elephant soldiers approaching them, although his face was calm, his heart began to feel uneasy.

When Zhou Junyu saw the huge elephant formation in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly startled. Last time in Huazhou, he only saw more than 20 war elephants of the Annan people, but the war elephants that appeared in front of them today Compared with the war elephants of the Annan people I saw last time, it was ten times stronger than the Annan elephant soldiers I saw before, and it was even more terrifying. These war elephants were all wrapped in thick armor, even Even their huge tusks are equipped with iron spikes, like an oversized mace, people will immediately feel a sense of fear and shudder after seeing them.

Now he also understands why the Annan people are so afraid of this elephant soldier occupying people, but this kind of fear only flashed in his mind, and he immediately calmed down. After following Xu Yi for so long, He has already seen all kinds of formations, and his psychological quality has already been very strong. Looking at this elephant formation that is gradually approaching, Zhou Junyu began to give orders calmly.

"Fix the gun for three hundred steps, adjust the left and right firing stone carts, and aim at the two wings of the enemy's elephant array!" He ordered an Annan officer who could speak Chinese next to him.

This Annan officer didn't dare to say much. At first, he was so frightened that his calves turned a little bit, but now after seeing the calm expression of this skeleton army general, he was more or less calmed down. He couldn't help admiring these skeleton soldiers in his heart. The soldiers of the army, just from this kind of calm and calm, have far exceeded the performance of these Annan soldiers, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly conveyed Zhou Junyu's order loudly to those Annan soldiers who were shooting guns. .

Originally, when these Annan soldiers saw so many war elephants appearing in front of them, they already started to squirm, but when they saw the fearless expressions of these black-armored skeleton soldiers standing behind each cart, they also They all began to calm down. Anyway, they are also Annan warriors. If they continue to panic, they will really lose the face of the Annan people. These Annan soldiers then began to adjust their guns according to the request of the general of the skeleton army. car angle.

"Brothers of the Fubo Army are preparing to send out the thunder! Throw the thunder into the bag!" Zhou Junyu nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the Annan people had faithfully carried out his order, and then spoke to the brothers he had brought. They issued an order, and when they came, they had agreed to change their thunderbolts to Tianlei, in order to make these Annan people fear them. Who let the Annan people say their thunderbolts themselves? And Lei Gongpao is Tianlei, so just call it that, just to scare them!
So these black-armored Fubo soldiers finally lifted the canvas of the two large carts parked beside them, revealing several large wooden boxes underneath, opened the lid, and took out black ones with engraved words on them. Notched iron bullets.

The surrounding Annan soldiers all set their eyes on these weird projectiles, and felt a palpitation in their hearts. The terrifying sky thunders that were used by the skeleton army to deal with them before finally appeared in front of their eyes. Many people unconsciously Taking a step back, he instinctively wanted to stay away from this terrifying thing.

Seeing the fear on the faces of these Annan people around, the soldiers of the Fubo Army showed a trace of disdain on their faces, and ignored them, but held these thunderbolts with solemn expressions on their faces, many People simply muttered words in their mouths. No one could understand what they were muttering, but it added a lot of mysterious atmosphere out of thin air, which surprised all the Annan people around them, so they became even more confused. Be in awe of them.

Zhou Junyu looked at the pretending appearance of the brothers he had brought, and secretly laughed in his heart, but he also showed a solemn look on his face, and began to mutter in his mouth. After doing this for a while, they These iron thunderbolts were carefully placed in the leather pockets of these thrown carts, and they picked up the torches and got ready.

Looking at the dozens of throwing cars in the Annan army's central army line, Qia Libula sneered again and again, laughing at the stupidity of Annan's people, and actually got a dozen of them to block the impact of his elephant formation, In his eyes, such a method is simply hitting a pebble against a rock, and the effect of bullshit will not be effective, so he waved the giant gun in his hand and ordered loudly: "The whole army speeds up, let's let the Annan dogs see our invincible war elephants!" Great!"

So the drummer behind him immediately started beating the war drum behind the elephant, and the rumbling sound of the drum began to spread all over the battlefield. All the elephant soldiers in heavy armor were ready to attack one after another. The bed crossbow was also stringed, and a big arrow was put on it, ready to be fired.

Driven by the elephant driver, these terrifying elephants began to speed up their pace, and rushed toward the Annan Army's line with their thick legs.

"Prepare the divine crossbow, let the people of Annan show how powerful our elephant crossbow is!" Seeing that they were close to the shooting range, Qia Libula yelled with a relaxed face, and put down the ferocious visor on the helmet, Only two eyes were exposed, full of contempt.

Seeing the Zhanren elephant formation getting closer and the Zhanren infantry cavalry and other troops advancing neatly behind the elephant formation, Annan's army began to commotion. They have encountered such a situation several times, but every time The result of this time is that their defense line was broken through by these war elephants in an instant, and then rushed into their formation to trample and kill wantonly, tearing all their efforts to pieces in an instant, and could only be killed or escape, but Today's situation seems to be the same as in the past. Annan's soldiers, who had already been frightened by the elephant formation, looked at the elephant formation in front of them again, filled with fear in their hearts, and began to retreat slowly involuntarily. .

"The marshal has an order, and if someone retreats half a step, he will be killed immediately! Hold on! Everyone hold on! We will win today!" The generals of all armies shouted loudly, and sternly reprimanded those subordinates who tried to retreat, and shouted They tried their best to boost their morale, but when they yelled, they were also full of doubts and fears. They wondered whether the hundred skeleton soldiers who came to help this time could destroy the Zhanren's elephant formation.

"Five hundred steps... 450 steps... [-] steps..." The fixed gunners of the Annan Army kept reporting the distance between the formation and the cart they threw. In his heart, it made people feel that even breathing began to be a little difficult.

"Steady! Get ready for launch!" Zhou Junyu shouted to everyone around him expressionlessly.

"Hold on! Hold on! Get ready to launch!" The Annan officer next to him immediately shouted after hearing him.

All Annan's gunners clenched the thick ropes in their hands, and began to tighten the traction rope tied to the other end of the throwing pole, staring nervously ahead, and began to accumulate energy all over their bodies.

"350 steps... 330 steps... 320 steps... 310 steps... [-] steps" The fixed gunner reported the distance faster and faster. When he counted to [-] steps, he suddenly raised his voice and called out loudly. up.

"Ignite! Launch!" Zhou Junyu shouted loudly when he heard him report three hundred steps.

The Fubo soldiers holding the torches immediately ignited the fuses of the thunderbolts placed in their leather pockets. After the fuses were lit, there was a hissing sound and a puff of blue smoke came out. The rest of the Fubo soldiers who had nothing to do At this time, I didn't care about other things, and they stepped forward to grab the traction rope with the gunners. Following the shouts of the officers who threw the car and Annan's soldiers, they used all their strength to pull the traction rope. Pulled back abruptly.

Pulled by them, the throwing poles of more than a dozen carts immediately rose rapidly, and the leather pockets containing the thunderbolts also flew up immediately. Facing the rushing Zhanren Xiangzhen in the distance, it slammed out.

"Let me release the elephant crossbow! Let them see whether their throwing carts are stronger or our elephant crossbows are stronger!" Qia Libula's elephant array also entered the range of their bed crossbows at this time, so he stood upright The giant gun also roared loudly.

The elephants with bed crossbows on the backs of the surrounding war elephants knocked down their crossbows one after another under the control of the elephant soldiers above, and dozens of thick crossbow arrows flew away immediately with a piercing whistling sound. Going out, he rushed straight to the Annan army who was arrayed on the opposite side to meet them.

At this time, dozens of bed crossbows in the Annan army's formation also started to fire, and the same thick arrows also flew out, rushing towards Zhanren's battle formation.

The battle officially broke out amidst such mutual shooting. The first attack was the Zhanren's elephant soldiers. The huge arrows they shot reached the target before the crossbow arrows fired by the Annans, and a group of unlucky Annans were immediately captured by these The crossbow arrows fired from the back of the batch of elephants penetrated immediately, and driven by the huge force, they flew a certain distance and hit and wounded some Annan soldiers behind them before falling to the ground and dying. There was a bloodbath among the crowd, but the Zhanren War Elephant basically did not suffer any damage under this round of blows. After all, it is quite difficult to hit a moving elephant with a fixed bed crossbow , most of the arrows were shot by the Zhanren infantry following the elephant formation, and also killed a lot of Zhanren, but at this time Zhanren was not affected by this round of blows at all, but began to move towards Annan's army The front swarmed up.

And at this time, more than a dozen dark things roared and fell from the sky into Zhanren's elephant array, but it seemed that they were unlucky, none of these dark things hit an elephant, and all of them fell. When they landed on the ground, only two of them fell among the Chammen, killing two unlucky Chammen on the spot.

Looking at the things that fell to the ground but did not hit his elephant, Charibula laughed wildly, mocking the stupidity of the Annan people loudly, and urged the elephant driver to speed up and enter the formation of the Annan people. So that these eager elephant soldiers can have another addiction to slaughtering the Annan people, but before he finished speaking, these black things that fell on their elephant herd and the crowd suddenly sent out a series of noises. With a loud bang, a cloud of flames and smoke rose among them, and the flying fragments hit some war elephants or generals heavily.

Fragments at this speed basically ignore the armor draped on the elephants or humans, passing through the armor like pieces of paper, and nailing deeply into the flesh of the elephants or humans, and these huge bangs This is the real killing move, and the sound waves spread all over the battlefield.

Such a huge roar is deadly to these war elephants who have never been frightened before. Almost 200 war elephants fell into a panic at the same time as the roar sounded, so the elephant array that was attacking neatly was immediately confused When they got up, some frightened and injured war elephants jumped up crazily, and began to slam around wildly, while the elephant soldiers sitting on the elephants were caught off guard, and accidentally They fell off the war elephants one after another, and as a result, they were immediately trampled into a pile of unrecognizable flesh and blood by the crazy war elephants, and their deaths could not have been more miserable.

The crazy war elephant swung its huge head and rammed around desperately. As a result, it quickly bumped into some nearby war elephants. At this time, the iron spikes on their huge ivory finally played a role, although It is difficult for ordinary knives and guns to pierce the thick leather armor on their bodies, but these iron spikes on their ivory are not something that these leather armors can defend against. The sharp iron spikes immediately pierced the armor of these war elephants, deeply It pierced into the body of the war elephant next to it, and immediately the bright red elephant blood spurted out, staining their armor red, so more war elephants that had already been frightened also fell into an unstoppable madness, and never again Listening to the command of the elephant drivers riding on their necks, they started to turn around and bump around. How could they know who was the enemy and who was the friend?
