Han counter current

They have clearly seen that the enemy army is left with such a barrier, and the sea is behind them. As long as they can break through this barrier, they can rely on elephants to drive the enemy army into the sea.

Fan Jian can naturally see what other elephant soldiers can see.At the same time, Fan Jian also saw that the enemy's warships were approaching like the sea. This posture seemed to be ready to receive enemy soldiers on board at any time.

"Kill, kill, the enemy army is vulnerable, kill,,,,,,"

The sound of Fan Jian's orders and the shouts of the Funan army spread across the battlefield. The morale of these Funan monkeys had reached the highest point, as if the world would surrender to them.

"Boom, boom,,,,,,"

There was a sound, and there was a huge change. The dozen or so elephants rushing to the front suddenly fell to the ground, and a burst of dust and smoke was raised all at once.

After the Funan soldiers at the back saw it clearly, they realized that the enemy had dug some huge traps specially.

Such a trap is covered with wooden boards and can carry a certain amount of weight. It is useless for ordinary soldiers, but it is most suitable for elephants.

Those elephants who rushed to the front were the most injured, but now they fell into the trap again and couldn't get up at all.

"Bastard, hateful, I have already lost more than 20 war elephants, this battle is not over yet, hateful, kill, continue to kill for me..."

It is not that Fan Jian has never experienced a tragic battle, but it is the first time that Fan Jian has encountered such a huge loss.

Now it's just breaking through the two lines of defense of the enemy army. Before killing many enemy troops, more than 20 war elephants have been lost.

Such a loss would be unbearable for any kingdom in Funan, that is to say, Fan Jian has such a family background, otherwise, who would be able to bear it.

Moreover, the enemy army seems to be retreating to the warship. If they are really allowed to retreat successfully, then what is the point of such a battle.

Fan Jian felt that a victory could only be achieved if a large number of enemy troops were killed, otherwise, the enemy troops would completely land away from the coast on their own side.

In this way, they can continue to build camps, continue to build fortifications, and then continue to harass Funan.

Then, everything went back to the way it was before the war. Fan Jian knew that the opponent he encountered this time was very difficult. Unless he wiped out all of them this time, he would have endless troubles on his side.

"Quick, don't let the enemy run away, quick, don't let them board the boat, kill, quick,,,,,,"

The impatient Funan Army soldiers could no longer care about the chaotic formation. Fan Jian was anxious, and they were also anxious.

They didn't get many enemy heads, and they didn't have much military exploits now. Even if they forced all the enemy troops onto the warship, it was only a temporary advantage.

But at this moment, the enemy army is retreating, and they will not fight head-on against their side at all. Such a smooth battle is the best time to gain military exploits.

Fan Jian's elite subordinates have experienced a lot of battles, so they naturally know what to do and how to do it at this time.

"You're bullying me because I don't have a sailor, so I won't let you get on the boat, never let you get on the boat. Hmph, even if I lose all the war elephants, I'll push you into the sea and drown you."

Fan Jian's voice came from a roar, and his expression seemed to wish to swallow the enemy's commander alive.

"All the war elephants, rush up to me, hurry up."

No matter how slow the war elephant was, it would definitely be faster than the Funan soldiers. Moreover, once the war elephant charged, it would not be stopped by manpower.

What the enemy army can rely on now is only a warship. However, with so many enemy troops, it is simply impossible to board the ship in a short time.

Fan Jian had reason to believe that as long as his war elephants charged, the enemy soldiers would be pushed into the sea.

At that time, it is not impossible to kill a large number of enemy troops.

Fan Jian, who has rich experience, knew that he had to seize this opportunity. Before the enemy troops retreated to the ship, he had to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops.

Chapter 356 Battlefield Confrontation 2

"General Qi, the enemy has entered the projectile range."

On the huge building ship, Lu Xun was staring at the battlefield on the shore indifferently. When the lieutenant beside him reported the situation to him, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Throw out all the fire oil you prepared, hurry up,,,,,,"

The simple trebuchet actually uses the principle of leverage to throw heavy objects. Such equipment appeared in the Central Plains as early as the Warring States Period.

Mohist students have studied this to some extent. Last time when the Youzhou Army fought against Yuan Shang's army, they also used it on a small scale.

Each clay pot is filled with kerosene, and each pot weighs about ten catties. In fact, the most important part of these kerosene is whale oil brought from Youzhou.

So many whales are hunted and killed every year. Since last year, only part of the whale fat has been processed into fuel and stored. This time, Chen Feng brought a lot, and now it just comes in handy.

"What is this, how did the stone fall from the sky."

The ignorant Funan people must be afraid of unknown affairs, but fortunately, these clay pots dropped from the sky are not too big, as long as they don't get hit on the head, they will basically not die.

"What smell, strange,,,,,,"

Thousands of clay pots were thrown out and landed on the side of the Funan Army. Many people could already see viscous liquid flowing out of those smashed pots, and at the same time exude a strange smell.

"Throwing coal,,,,,,"

Lu Xun moved under the command of the warship, and shovel after shovel after shovel of burnt red coals were packed into clay pots and then thrown out through the trebuchet.

It's not that Lu Xun doesn't want to set fire directly, the key is that there is no such condition, and only the burning coal is not easy to extinguish, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to ignite the kerosene.

Black smoke rose quickly on the battlefield. At the beginning, the Funan soldiers didn't pay attention to it. After all, they pushed a lot of braziers when they rushed in.

Some tents were also lit, but when the fire suddenly surrounded them, they realized that they had suffered.

"What, this, this,,,,,,"

Fan Jian was stunned, he was stunned by the battle situation in front of him.The Funan army, which was originally in the upper hand, became chaotic in a blink of an eye.

Animals have a natural fear of fire, and when the fire is also burning around those war elephants, these war elephants are no longer under control.

"No, no, I won't lose, how could this happen, don't quit,,,,,,"

When he saw the first elephant turn around and run wildly, Fan Jian knew that he had lost this time, and then, the second elephant, the third elephant,,,,,,

Gao Zhong, who had already retreated to the beach, was staring indifferently at the battlefield behind. The raging fire was gradually rising, and the Funan army didn't care about attacking now, and many people fled back in panic.

"Trap into camp, deploy defenses,,,,,,"

The rest of the soldiers were retreating to the warships, but Gao Zhong and his [-] camp stayed behind. With them behind, the rest of the soldiers would not panic when they retreated.

As the chief general, it may not be sensible to stay in the rear during the most dangerous time of the war, but this kind of behavior undoubtedly inspired all the soldiers.

Although most of the enemy troops were in chaos, some of them rushed over, and these people would be the targets of the camp.

On the sea, those huge warships were firing arrows. Although most of the Funan army had been surrounded by fire, Lu Xun did not intend to let them go just like that.

At the same time, the simple trebuchet still throws out the pottery pot containing kerosene, so that the fire in the distance will not be extinguished at all.

At this point in the battle, no one knew that the advantage of the Funan army had been destroyed by the fire.
