Han counter current

"Arrows,,,,,,"

Seeing that the enemy army had entered the range, Gao Zhong gave the order to fight, and the generals also issued orders to their subordinates.

Arrows roared out all over the sky, and the soldiers of the Funan Army felt that the sky darkened a lot at this moment. Soon, the rain of arrows continued to fall, and some soldiers of the Funan Army who did not have shield defenses were quickly shot into hedgehogs.

"Speed ​​up, go,,,,,,"

The elephant soldiers rushing to the forefront were calling for their companions. They had elephants as their support and their equipment was okay, so the first shower of arrows did not cause much damage to them.

However, dozens of arrows have been inserted into many elephants. Even if the elephants have thick skin and armor, they may not be able to hold such arrows if they shoot too many arrows.

"Command the crossbowman, stare at the enemy's elephant soldiers and shoot."

Seeing that the enemy's elephant soldiers were still advancing, Gao Zhong immediately issued an order: "Hmph, it's just a breakthrough with the help of the elephant soldiers. When I kill all your elephant soldiers, I'll see what you can show off in front of me."

In order to win, Fan Jian bet most of his wealth. As the overlord of Funan, he owns two hundred war elephants.

Before leaving the city, he left fifty of them in Temu City, and another twenty for the defense of Jin'ou Island in the rear.

That is to say, for this decisive battle, he brought 130 war elephants, such strength can definitely sweep Funan.

In the first wave of attack, ten war elephants charged in front, and the soldiers behind followed suit. This effect was very good. At least the Funan Army soldiers were almost approaching the enemy camp.

"Crossbowmen, shoot,,,,,"

Some of the large crossbows that were removed from the ship became the nemesis of elephants. Although there were not many such large crossbows, they were enough to deal with ten elephants.In addition, the elephant target is too large, and basically every arrow can hit the target.

"No, the enemy actually has such a sharp weapon."

Seeing his soldiers falling in front of him, Fan Jian didn't show any anxious expression, but when the opponent showed his huge crossbow and shot arrows, he felt that his ten war elephants were going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, almost every war elephant was shot with two or three arrows by the crossbow. These are not the carved feather arrows of ordinary archers, but any arrow hit by the crossbow will almost weaken the combat effectiveness of the war elephant by two times. Thirty percent.

"Never give the enemy a chance, come and send me another [-] war elephants to kill them..."

Seeing that some war elephants had already fallen on the way to charge, Fan Jian immediately ordered to replenish the war elephants to continue to charge. Once the charge started, it must not stop.

He clearly knew that the elephant soldiers he could rely on were the elephant soldiers. If there were no elephant soldiers to boost morale, the other soldiers might collapse halfway through the charge.

Therefore, on the battlefield ahead, there must be no shortage of war elephants. Even if they fall, they must be replaced immediately. Only in this way can our soldiers be encouraged to continue to fight the enemy bravely.

How many times of battle experience told Fan Jian, charge, just this once, must not slow down, nor relax, must go all out.

After thirty war elephants joined the charge, the soldiers of the Funan Army seemed more courageous, and they had every reason to believe that their side would win.

Don't look at how tall and strong the enemy army built the camp, as long as the war elephants on your side arrive near the enemy camp, and then use the tall and strong bodies of the war elephants to collide, the fences of those camps will be breached and the enemy will be killed. The camp is not too difficult.

"This war elephant is indeed a magical weapon for charging."

In the camp, Gao Zhong has been observing the situation on the battlefield: "Except for the shortcomings of slow movement and low defense.

It is best to use war elephants to attack the enemy's camp and formation. If it is against the other Funan army, Fan Jian may have a solid chance of winning by now.

Fortunately, I removed these giant crossbows from the warship, otherwise I really couldn't shoot those war elephants, hehe, after this battle, I will also form elephant soldiers, and then I will fight for my foster father. Very powerful. "

Under such circumstances, Gao Zhong still has the mood to think about the future.The newly joined war elephants moved forward slowly. In order to stabilize the occupation, Fan Jian sent another thirty war elephants to join the charge formation.

The charge of sixty or seventy war elephants is a spectacular scene. Although there is no galloping posture of thousands of horses when thousands of cavalry charge, but dozens of war elephants are dispatched together, which also makes the battlefield appear quaking. The feeling of shaking.

Funan's terrain is not suitable for galloping war horses. It is difficult for thousands of troops to spread out, but war elephants are different. There is no need to invest too much, and it is sufficient for the battlefield situation in a small area.

"Come on, come on, send out all the war elephants..."

Gao Zhong stared at the battlefield all the time, facing the enemy's war elephants, all he could do was defend.

"Not good, the enemy war elephants are approaching the camp..."

Finally, after losing more than a dozen war elephants, the soldiers of the Funan Army approached Gaozhong's camp. The elephants used their bodies, trunks, and tusks to constantly destroy the camp, and gaps appeared in some places.

"Okay, let's go in, hahaha, come on, charge, rush into the enemy's camp, press all the war elephants on me, and crush them..."

Seeing the enemy's camp being breached under his own attack, Fan Jian was excited, and the next battle would be much easier.

With elephant soldiers around, it is impossible for the enemy to hold the camp. At this moment, Fan Jian felt the joy of victory again, just like he had been in Funan all these years. He firmly believed that this time, he would still win.

After entering the enemy's camp, the soldiers on his side can engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's soldiers, and the enemy's bows and arrows will lose their effect.

In addition, there are war elephants on my side, no matter how many enemy troops come, they can't stop the war elephants, and defeating the enemy is a breeze.

At this moment, Fan Jian had already seen the dawn of victory. He believed that tonight, he and his generals could enjoy the bow of the enemy commander in the camp.

Chapter 355 Battlefield Confrontation 1

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the morale of the Funan army was high. They drove the war elephants into Gaozhong's camp one after another. Those simple fortifications were quickly reduced to pieces after being destroyed by the elephants.

Gao Zhong's subordinates are also considered elite, compared to the enemy army, their performance is not bad at all, but unfortunately, the enemy army is full of vigor, and there are war elephants charging into the battle, it is really hard to resist.

"withdraw,,,,,,"

Faced with such a battle situation, Gao Zhong continued to issue orders in an orderly manner.The enemy's war elephant is indeed a magic weapon in the battle, at least, Gao Zhong can't resist it.

Moreover, this Fan Jian was quite courageous. After all the dozen or so war elephants in the front were killed in battle, he didn't hesitate at all, but continued to fight with the war elephants.

You must know that although war elephants are relatively common in Funan, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to train a war elephant.

The death of more than a dozen war elephants would be unacceptable in an ordinary small kingdom, so even Gao Zhong admired Fan Jian's decisiveness.

"Retreat into the second barrier, everyone, don't panic. The enemy can't advance so fast, don't panic."

If there are experienced generals here, it is estimated that Gao Zhong's subordinates have strict military discipline, and there is no confusion among the soldiers on the battlefield.

Even under such circumstances, they didn't panic. The rear team was entangled with the enemy, and the rest of the team quickly entered the second line of defense to prepare.

"Unexpectedly, there is a second line of defense. This baby is really powerful. Fortunately, I was not the one who retreated, otherwise my subordinates would be in chaos."

Fan Jian sat on the back of the elephant and could clearly see the scene in the distance.He observed every move of the enemy army very carefully.

If Fan Jian could be smarter, if his thinking could expand a bit, maybe he could understand why Gao Zhong sent all those pirates out.

Because the Pirate Legion has no discipline at all, Gao Zhong doesn't look down on them at all, and if the Pirate Legion is kept by his side, it is estimated that such a strategic retreat will definitely cause a lot of trouble for his side.

Therefore, as an excellent commander, Gao Zhong understands the truth that soldiers are more expensive than many, so he would rather send so many pirates out than keep such dangerous elements by his side to help out.

After entering the second line of defense, Gao Zhong's subordinates still entangled with the Funan army by virtue of the fortifications.

The battle has been going on for almost two hours. After a charge, the elephant soldiers of the Funan Army lost a little bit of physical strength, but they were not exhausted.

Under Fan Jian's command, dozens of elephants continued to rush forward, and the soldiers riding on the backs of the elephants had a wide view.
