Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 637 The Art of Pulling
The combat effectiveness of the fearless heavy-armored elephant soldiers far exceeded Hauge's expectations.
His original intention was actually to use the chariot legion to create chaos first, or to force the elephant soldiers to appear.
After all, such a large number of elephant soldiers are obviously the target that needs to be targeted first.
However, the fighting power of the fearless heavy-armored elephant soldiers completely exceeded Hauge's expectations. His carefully prepared super tank army was ruthlessly trampled and destroyed by the elephants before it had a chance to shine.
"A double-talented elephant?"
After observing for a while, Hauge discovered the problem. He felt it was ridiculous and then uncontrollably moved his gaze to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the subsequent Peacock Cavalry. His face became truly ugly.
To be honest, at the beginning, he really didn't take Meng Huo seriously.
After all, the problem of the organization of the barbarian elite troops was solved by relying on Meng Huo's talent as a monarch, as well as the problem of music.
But in the end they could only stop at the level of dual talents. Only a few people could refine their talents and become the Royal Guards, while most of them started to develop in the direction of intensive cultivation.
So from a distance, one could tell that the formation of the barbarian soldiers under Meng Huo was loose. Even though they were individually strong, they were clearly at an absolute disadvantage in a battlefield involving such a large army.
Therefore, Haoge did not take Meng Huo seriously at the beginning, and even regarded the beast soldiers under Meng Huo as a joke. It was not like the Qing Dynasty had not tried to use other wild beasts as mounts, but in the end only a few of them were successful.
Tigers and leopards are absolutely not suitable as mounts. This is something that Hauge has personally experimented with, so Hauge did not take Meng Huo seriously at all. He just thought that elephant soldiers were more troublesome.
This behemoth is simply a crusher for the heavy infantry who are good at defense.
No matter how thick your armor is, if you get stepped on by this thing, you will definitely have internal bleeding.
But after realizing that the opponent's mounts might have dual talents, Hauge quickly understood that it was not only the elephants that were tricky, but also those strange beast soldiers that he needed to pay attention to.
"Send someone to inform Marshal Duoduo that the enemy's beast mounts have dual talents, so be extremely careful when dealing with them."
After sending someone to inform Duoduo of his discovery, Haoge took a deep breath and faced Meng Huo with a completely serious attitude.
"Order the Eight Banners Battalion to begin advancing. All crossbows and catapults must aim at the giant elephants and attack. The Eight Banners cavalry must leave the camp and be ready to charge at any time."
Under Hauge's command, all the soldiers in the camp rushed out and rushed towards Meng Huo. Facing a powerful individual opponent, the best option was to drag him into the battle of the army.
Hauge is still quite confident in his command ability.
"Your Majesty, the army formation on the opposite side is not simple. It is a bit like the absorption type army formation mentioned by His Excellency Sun Wu, but this army formation is more like absorbing cloud energy?"
Madam Zhu Rong spoke to Meng Huo with a serious face. She was smarter than Meng Huo and had learned a lot about military formations in Luoyang. She could tell the type and effect of the opposing formation at a glance.
"Don't be afraid. Marshal Zhou has helped us adjust our military formation. It is the most suitable for us to perform. It is comparable to the enemy's formation. Send all your troops forward. Since the enemy has decided to launch a general attack against us, then we will fight them!"
"All troops advance!"
Meng Huo turned over and rode on his mount, raised his weapon, and roared the order for the entire army to charge.
He knew his disadvantages in command, so he chose the simplest and most brutal way of playing.
With the elite legions as the vanguard, they formed several triangular formations and charged towards the army led by Hauge.
I won't compete with you in command, but will use my unstoppable force to force you to fight me head-on. Otherwise, I will just wait to break through your formation and tear you into pieces.
"Hahahaha, the king has ordered, charge!"
Upon receiving the order, King Mulu laughed wildly, controlled the war elephants to step over the wreckage of the chariot corps, and charged directly towards the Qing army.
Although the elephants were not very fast, they were on the front line and were the first to rush to the Qing army under the rain of arrows and stones.
The trunk of the war elephant was like a giant hammer. Any soldier that was hit would have his bones and muscles broken, and then be rolled up and thrown away by the elephant soldiers.
"Push it to me!"
King Mulu roared loudly and urged the war elephants under his command to charge. Relying on their super heavy force, the war elephants easily overturned all the opponents in front of them and then drove straight forward.
Facing the Qing soldiers, the fearless heavily-armored elephants were like steamrollers, either throwing with their trunks or trampling with their feet, easily trampling out a path for the Qing army's well-arranged troops.
"The Xunfeng Camp will set up a cyclone to defend against the rain of arrows, the Zedui Camp will provide support, and the Lihuo Camp will charge forward to chop down these troublesome things!" Seeing the war elephants advance closer, Hauge immediately sent out elite troops to block and kill them.
He didn't have any good way to deal with these behemoths, and could only rely on the cooperation of the legion to kill them. Fortunately, they had the powerful weapon Lihuoying.
When attacking other camps, the Lihuo Camp may not be able to exert its full strength due to its fragile body, but in its own camp, with the protection of the Xunfeng Camp and the support of the Zedui Camp, the attack power they can unleash is stronger than that of the Qiantian Camp.
Unlike the previous group led by Haoge which was a mixture of new and old soldiers, this group of Lihuo Camp was made up of real guards.
"Ow~"
The giant elephant was hit by the flaming swords. Not to mention the damage it suffered, what was more important was the fire that went straight to its soul and broke down its fragile nerves.
Even if the giant elephants are trained to be fearless, they still cannot overcome their fear of fire. To be more precise, all mounts are afraid of this thing.
However, after the elephant soldiers became frightened, the riders on their backs were completely unable to control the existence of the giant elephants, because fear induced instinctive reactions, causing these giant elephants to panic and not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.
Ordinary flames may not be a big deal to these fearless elephants, but this kind of flame that goes straight to the soul completely fills the elephants with fear.
"Qi!" King Mulu looked at the out-of-control giant elephant under his mount and angrily threw a short spear, piercing a soldier from the Lihuo Camp.
Before he died, he cut off one of the elephant's front legs with a knife. The elephant fell to the ground wailing, crushing several Qing soldiers to death and throwing King Mulu away.
"Damn it!"
King Mulu rolled on the ground for several times. When he turned over, he saw the soldiers of the Fiery Camp inserted the knife directly into the brain of the giant elephant through the eyes, killing his mount completely.
King Mulu's heart was bleeding, because he was the one who raised this child.
Looking around, he found that the thousands of war elephants that he and his tribesmen had trained with great difficulty were all destroyed.
Even for those who were still alive, most had their legs chopped off, which disrupted their balance and made them unable to continue fighting.
It was not until this moment that King Mulu understood why Rahul had such a strange expression on his face when he saw him training close combat elephant cavalry.
"Rain of arrows, rain of arrows, pour a rain of arrows towards the Flame Legion!"
The moment Meng Huo saw the Lihuo Camp take action, he immediately realized that this was a legion of sharp warriors, and their lethality must be terrifying to the extreme, so he immediately ordered a rain of arrows to cover the attack.
Anyway, war elephants have thick skin and flesh, and can defend against most arrows even without heavy armor, not to mention that they have the heavy armor talent and are equipped with a layer of heavy armor.
Dense arrows fell from the sky, but when they landed on Lihuoying's head, they suddenly changed direction and stabbed into the ground, and less than one percent of the arrows hit the target.
"Xunfeng Camp..." Meng Huo's face looked ugly. He knew that the War Elephant Corps was most likely dead.
"Peacock Legion, prepare to attack, keep an eye on the Xunfeng Battalion. As soon as there is a chance, immediately shoot three times in a row to destroy that legion. Do not let that legion survive."
Meng Huo issued a kill order. Each legion of the Eight Banners Camp was not very strong when taken individually, and some even had obvious flaws.
For example, the Xunfeng Camp's lethality is insufficient, and the Lihuo Camp's body is too fragile...
However, when these legions were combined, the strength they demonstrated immediately surpassed that of most legions.
The once-mighty giant elephant army didn't even hold out for a quarter of an hour before they were all chopped down.
However, the sacrifice of war elephants was meaningful.
The charge of the fearless heavily-armored elephant soldiers directly disrupted the Qing army's front camp. The barbarians easily followed the gaps created by the elephant soldiers and tore through the first line of defense.
"Barbarian warriors, invincible!"
Taking advantage of the momentum of breaking through the defense line, Meng Huo instantly roared and activated his monarch talent.
From only having a bonus to organizational ability in the past, it can now even release some of the potential of the barbarian elite soldiers and convert the untapped potential into a bonus to physical fitness.
"Wutugu, Shamoke, smash their battle line for me!"
Meng Huo roared and threw out the two strongest generals he had.
Upon hearing this, Wutugu and Shamoke rushed out roaring, wielding heavy bone clubs in both hands. They swept across the front of the army, and with a sonic explosion, they broke the Qing soldiers who were blocking their way in front of them into two pieces.
Accompanied by the extreme crushing with blood and flesh flying everywhere, the two men rushed into the battle line in the bloodiest and most violent way.
The elite soldiers in rattan armor who followed behind the two men also roared and followed the two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, madly hacking at the enemies on the opposite side under the rain of arrows.
In just a moment, two huge holes were torn in the second battle line arranged by Hauge, and then the entire second battle line was shattered together.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Wutugu roared and charged forward. Even several people with internal energy leaving their bodies could not stop him. His body that had broken through the realm of essence made him an absolute killing machine.
"How can I let you pass through here!"
A Qing army officer with the title of Baturu roared and led his personal guards to charge towards Wutugu, determined not to let Wutugu continue like this even if he died.
"clang!"
The roaring Qing army officers swung their swords at Wutugu, but they did not expect that Wutugu did not stop to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers, and was hit on the chest by the sword, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.
However, the next second, the Qing army officers became panicked. His knife was clamped by Wutugu's muscles and could not be pulled out at all.
Then he swung the bone club directly at the Qing army officer, smashing his head with just one blow, causing blood to splatter in all directions.
"Hey, hey, hey, a thousand cows!"
Meng Huo had promised Wutugu that if he could kill someone with internal energy leaving his body, he would reward him with an extra thousand cows.
So when facing the opponent, Wutugu chose the tactic of exchanging injury for life without hesitation, and used his well-cultivated and terrifying body to kill an officer with extremely powerful internal energy in a single encounter.
If we really fight the enemy slowly, who knows, this officer might be able to hold Wutugu back.
As a result, no one expected that Wutugu's first move would be to gamble his life.
Obviously, Qingting Baturu's head was not as strong as Wutugu's body, and it was smashed into pieces in one go.
Wutugu laughed and threw away the knife on his chest. The wound, which was deep enough to see the bone, recovered in the blink of an eye.
Seeing such a terrifying Wutugu, the morale of the surrounding Qing soldiers plummeted. They had no idea how to face such an unstoppable killing machine.
Almost in an instant, Meng Huo led a large army to break through Hauge's three lines of defense.
"Humph, do you really think you can defeat me in one breath?" Hauge sneered as he looked at the barbarian soldiers who were advancing like a hot knife through butter.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
He first used ordinary soldiers to consume the spirit of the barbarian elite troops, and then, by absorbing the effect of the military formation, he added all the cloud energy to his elite troops, waiting for the Manchu elite troops to jump into the pocket he had prepared in one breath.
From the very beginning, he had anticipated that Meng Huo would make such a choice.
After all, from the opponent's initial formation, it can be seen that Meng Huo is definitely not the commander of a large army.
Instead of commanding a large army that is beyond your ability, there is only one best way, and that is to make a sudden and powerful attack.
Hauge watched Meng Huo's charge coldly, waiting for the time to counterattack.
Unless Meng Huo could break through the ten lines of defense he had set up in one breath, the moment Meng Huo's momentum weakened, he would die without a burial place.
On the other side, Oboi looked at Zhang Fei with a grim face as he jumped out of his encirclement.
His arrangement was similar to Hauge's. They both planned to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and then defend and counterattack. This was also the strategy they had formulated from the beginning. After all, they had the advantage on the defensive side and did not need to rush to attack.
However, after Zhang Fei had pierced through seven of the ten lines of defense, he actually withdrew his troops.
When Aobai noticed this, he vomited blood. He couldn't imagine that Zhang Fei, who seemed like a brainless general just now, would retreat on his own initiative just one second before stepping into the trap.
In the process of tug-of-war, he lost tens of thousands of people in vain. Not only did he fail to wear down Zhang Fei's fighting spirit, but he directly brought the morale of his side to the freezing point.
After all, everyone could see that Zhang Fei left extremely calmly. He was not forced back by them but retreated on his own.
"The entire army, move forward!" Oboi was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but there was no other way now, so he could only bite the bullet and take the initiative to pursue.
If Zhang Fei really were to retreat and rest, their morale would really collapse.
