Chapter 115 Murong's Cavalry
"Moo..." The elephant group's cry of pain was far more penetrating than ordinary animals, but it did not stop rushing forward. The snow-white tusks were even more threatening on the elephants, even the long swords in the hands of natives.
"Scatter!" As the elephant group got closer, the captain of the crossbowman shouted to let the soldiers disperse. He believed in the quality of his shield, but would never take the initiative to try it with the elephant's hooves.
At this time, the imperial guards still ensured that the formation was complete, and the crossbowmen's escape was rather embarrassing. Tang Chen shouted shrillly in the rear, "Lancers, gather the formation to hold back. Your Highness said that the elephant is the weight of a few horses, and the back row is prepared. Didn't you practice it a few days ago? Don't panic!"
"Ha!" The spear army slowly advanced forward with a spear in hand, shouting a deep military horn, and was not fast but firmly facing the group of elephants running towards them.
"As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, there is nothing scary about the elephant herd, and primitive people can hunt elephants." Sima Ji's central army tent was full of horse resistance, and there were still two thousand cavalrymen who did not enter.
Judging from the scene, the entire camp has been surrounded. The King of Linyi looked at it and the King of Yan was like a sign selling his first place! But at present, there is only one breakthrough, so it is not difficult to block this breakthrough.
Boom..., the battle elephants who rushed in the front directly collided with the spear formation. Although the battle elephants were already covered with armor, Lin Yi itself was in this dimension and had no motivation to develop protective gear. The battle elephants were directly stabbed into sieves and cried out in a woe. They fell to the ground and hesitated. Of course, it was not over yet, and the battle elephants behind were still crowded up.
Sima Ji waved his hand to the Lingqi on the platform, and Lingqi issued an order to the military formation. Behind the spearheaded soldiers, the soldiers carrying the javelins, were like the most perfect javelin contestant, who had performed the hard training for several days. The javelin shot out turned the battle elephant behind them into moving hedgehogs. Soon these hedgehogs fell to the ground like their companions in front, soaking the land under their feet with their own blood.
"It seems that my luck is better than that of Alexander the Great!" Sima Ji frowned and stretched out. After all, India is the birthplace of war elephants. A country as small as Linyi is still incomparable to India. Moreover, the Greeks had never seen war elephants before when Alexander advanced to the east. Sima Ji knew that there were such specialties in the south, so it was natural that this result was achieved.
"Gathering together to block the gap!" Sima Ji raised his hand again and asked the order flag to issue the latest instructions. In this round of javelin, hundreds of war elephants fell down halfway and turned toward the cavalry around him, "You have sent out a thousand people, and the spear formation is incomplete by the war elephants. When close forces are connected, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties. It's time for you to go out!"
It is indeed very terrible to use cavalry to block the gap, but Sima Ji has no other soldiers. He can't let the newly retreated crossbowmen chop against the locals who have followed. With a command, thousands of cavalry rushed out, and each bent his bow and arrows shot at the locals outside the gap. The Linyi people at the gap were crowded. Unless they were just filling in the gap, they didn't have to consider the hit rate at all.
Then he pulled out his waist knife, passed through the corpses of the group of elephants, and harvested the lonely natives.
You said if you had the Vine Armored Soldier, wouldn't I have to work hard this time? What a pity! Sima Ji looked at the Linyi King Fan Yi who was just a figure, slowly raised his hand and stretched out his index finger and shouted, "Fan Yi, come here!"
"Fan Yi, come here!" The cavalry around the central army's tent shouted at the same time.
Fan Yi held the long sword in his hand tightly. He knew that the Jin army would never be allowed to block this gap. This was the key to whether the opponent's turtle shell could be broken. He said to Yi Shuai beside him, "Absolutely, you can't retreat, rush in!"
In this gap of less than 100 meters, the two armies collided fiercely, and no one fell to the ground every moment. The Jin army formed a dense army formation and advanced step by step. Every step was filled with broken limbs and broken arms, and the feet were stained with blood that had not yet cooled. "Today is the day when Lin Yi was destroyed!"
"The villages were robbed along the way, and this should not have been done by King Linyi himself. No one would attack his tribe unless it was when the tribe was split." The brigade of cavalry came all the way north. From an hour ago, they saw that all the villages they could see were empty. Duan Wuze, who was following Murong Yun, said, "This should have been done by the Jin army. It seems that we are not far from the battlefield."
"Of course it's the Jin army. Don't we do this every year as the commander of the King of Yan. Who is the current commander of the Jin army?" Murong Yun took out the sheepskin wine belt on his body and took a sip and said with a deep reminiscence, "Everyone is cheering me up. I've been marching for so long, so I should have had enough rest. No woman is so angry that I'll have a chance to release later. Murong's cavalry, change armor!"
"You go first, we will arrive later!" Murong Yun nodded to Duan Wuze, without explaining what he was doing.
A thousand Murong cavalry all stopped and pulled off the armor from the spare horses. They did not use it for the other three parts. Armor was the most important part on the spare horses of Murong. If it weren't for the hot climate in the south, they would have put the armor directly on their bodies.
When the Murong cavalry set out again, there was almost nothing on the reserved horses. All the Murong cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor, holding spears, and even the horses under their butts were already wearing armor, with only two eyes still exposed.
As the younger brother of the leader of the Murong clan, Murong Yun took the lead and soon caught up with other Hu cavalry. The appearance of Murong clan cavalry surprised everyone, including Duan Wuze.
The battle of Fan Yi's siege of Sima Ji's camp was far from over. As time went by, the corpses of the two armies at the gap were more and more piled up into mountain bags, which made it even more difficult for Lin Yi soldiers to rush in.
"I won't kneel here in the first battle, right? Isn't this the same as Zhao Kuo? The opponent is Bai Qi at least, and you can find a reason if you lose. How can I record me in the history books?" Fan Yi's crazy attack made Sima Ji not sure. On the surface, he was calm and he couldn't help but start to wonder.
