Chengdu city. The city gate was already wide open. Yuan Fang sat on the red rabbit on his crotch, dragging Fang Tian's halberd with his hand, and slowly stepped into the huge city gate. On both sides of the street, there were many soldiers of the Qi army. On the ground beside the street, there were densely packed men, women, old and children kneeling. Today, one hundred thousand people in Chengdu are here to surrender to Yuan Fang. Yuan Fang, who entered the city with his head held high, was so high-spirited. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There were many battles, big and small, and many soldiers sacrificed their lives. Today, the prefecture of Yizhou, the core of the Kingdom of Abundance, finally planted Yuan Fang's battle flag. How can you not feel happy. After entering the city, Yuan Fang went straight to the luxurious Zhou Mufu. Liu Yan had always wanted to be emperor since he became the shepherd of Yizhou, so the city of Chengdu was built like an imperial palace. After more than ten years of construction by the Liu family and his son, the magnificence of the Chengdu capital has become the largest in the world. But now, the state capital that the Liu family and his son had worked hard to build has changed hands twice, and just when Cao Cao was still hot, it became Yuan Fang's palace again. After entering Chengdu without a fight, before Yuan Fang could enjoy the prosperity of Chengdu, he led his army south overnight and captured Guangdu City, a hundred miles south of Chengdu. Although Cao Cao was in panic and despair, leading his remaining troops to retreat to Jiangzhou in the east, another new force with high morale was approaching. One hundred thousand barbarian troops have conquered Wuyang and are heading towards Chengdu, and Guangdu City is the last barrier to the south of Chengdu. Yuan Fang has long known from intelligence that the barbarian army marched north and burned, killed, and looted all the counties they passed. Wherever they passed, there was a scorched earth. Facing such a greedy and cruel enemy. How could Yuan Fang allow them to approach the densely populated and economically prosperous hinterland of Chengdu. Fortunately, Chengdu fell without a fight, which saved Yuan Fang a lot of time. One day later, Yuan Fang led an army of 50,000. They captured Guangdu City before the barbarian army. The day after seizing the city, before Yuan Fang could take a breath, the scouts rushed into the city and sent the latest information about the barbarian army to Yuan Fang's case. Yuan Fang at this time. Zheng, Fazheng and other generals discussed strategies to deal with the barbarian army. The latest information from the barbarian army shocked everyone present. "Elephant soldiers?" Ma Chao was shocked and said in surprise: "When I was in Xiliang, I heard a businessman from Hanzhong mention that there is a giant beast in Nanzhong. It is called an elephant. I didn't expect that this elephant can go into battle? " "There are indeed giant beasts like elephants in Nanzhong. Many barbarians use elephants instead of horses. I have read records in ancient books that there are elephant soldiers in Nanzhong, but I have never seen them before." Fazheng Expo. Group of books. But the target soldiers didn't know much. Ju Yi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "So what if the elephant, I don't believe that thing can stop the strong bows and crossbows of our first climbers." "Although the strong bows and crossbows of the first climbers are powerful, but It's useless against soldiers." Fazheng shook his head and said solemnly, "It is recorded in ancient books that the elephant's skin is very thick, comparable to a layer of natural heavy armor. In addition, the Southern Barbarians are still large. Then wrap it with a layer of bone armor made of elephant bones. In this way, let alone the hard crossbow of the dead man, even the bed crossbow may not be able to hurt the elephant. " I heard this. All the generals present were in an uproar. The generals all know how powerful the bed crossbow is. That kind of powerful crossbow can shoot a thousand steps. After penetrating an iron shield, it can also penetrate two armored soldiers. Now, this elephant can't even be hurt by a crossbow, and its defense power is so terrifying that it has simply reached the level of sensationalism. "Giant elephant, giant elephant" Yuan Fang frowned slightly, thoughtfully. The generals in the hall quickly became quiet, each with solemn expressions and furrowed brows, as if it was difficult to think of a solution for a moment. The lobby fell into silence. At this moment, Li Yan, who had been silent, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although this elephant soldier is powerful, there may not be a way to defeat it." As soon as these words came out, Yuan Fang became energetic, and Fazheng and others in the hall Wenwu was also greatly surprised. No one expected that Li Yan, a newly surrendered general, would actually claim to have a plan to defeat the elephant soldiers. Even Yuan Fang, who was trying his best to capture Li Yan, did not expect that Li Yan would come in handy so quickly. "Let me tell you what clever plan you have to defeat the elephant soldiers." Yuan Fang's spirit perked up. Li Yan smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Actually, it's not a clever idea, but Yan served under Liu Zhang in his early years and served as an official in the seven counties of Nanzhong for several years. At that time, he had heard that there was an elephant soldier among the barbarians, and he saw Meng Huo was quite ambitious, so he thought that if one day Meng Huo led the Southern Barbarians to rebel, these elephant soldiers would be in great trouble, so Yan secretly found out the details of these elephant soldiers.He also figured out a way to deal with the elephant soldiers. " It seems that Li Yan is also very far-sighted. He had expected that the barbarians would rebel sooner or later. Yuan Fang secretly thought that his decision to surrender Li Yan was indeed the right one. Yuan Fang became more and more excited and asked him how to defeat the elephant soldiers. . Li Hui explained his plan in an awkward manner. Everyone became more and more curious when they heard it, as if they thought this plan was too ridiculous. "Will this plan work?" Fazheng also expressed doubts. Li Yan said confidently: "Don't worry. When I was an official in Nanzhong, I bought an elephant from a barbarian tribe and kept it in my house. I used it to The method has been tried many times and it must be effective. " Yuan Fang didn't hesitate much, and he didn't have time to hesitate, so he said with emotion: "Since Zheng Fang is so confident, then I believe in you, and I will follow your method. Go and prepare quickly. " "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust. " Li Yan thanked him, but said with concern: "However, this method still requires some preparation time. Now Meng Huo's elephant soldiers are on their way north and will arrive in Guangdu in a few days. Time seems a bit rushed, I hope you will." I'm just afraid I won't be able to make it in time. " Yuan Fang told Li Yan not to worry and just prepare. He had his own way to delay the barbarian army's advance. Yuan Fang's delaying method was actually very simple. He ordered Wei Yan and Wu Yi to lead a force of troops south quickly. , digging gullies along the road from Wuyang to Guangdu to delay the enemy's advance. Although Meng Huo's elephant soldiers were huge, their movements were slow and inconvenient, and the barbarian army had to stop every time they encountered a ditch. They came down and filled up the ditch before they could drive the elephants through smoothly. Wei Yan and the others dug and retreated along the road. They dug countless ditches on the road of less than a hundred miles, which at least prevented the barbarian army from advancing. The speed slowed down by half. Meng Huo's army stopped and stopped all the way. It took a full ten days to reach the south of Guangdu. The 50,000 vanguard barbarian troops had finished descending on the stronghold, and Meng Huo did not wait for the rear troops to arrive. , immediately wrote a arrogant letter of war and sent people to Guangdu to challenge Yuan Fang. Meng Huokang was also crazy, because he had the most powerful offensive weapon in this era, and, in his opinion, The Qi army dug ditches along the way. This just showed that they were afraid of the strength of their own army, and the Qi army was afraid. Meng Huo's idea was very simple. He wanted to defeat Yuan Fang's army in a single battle. Then, he could ride the elephant and push all the way to Guangdu City. Yuan Fang received Meng Huo's arrogant letter of challenge and stood at the top of the city. He opened his telescope and saw that Yuan Fang could vaguely see. Yuan Fang had seen the giant moving elephants in the enemy camp seven miles away, but it was Yuan Fang who saw thousands of elephants gathering together at the same time. This was the first time I saw it. I couldn¡¯t imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if I saw it from a distance. Li Yan stepped into the city and said with a hand in his hand. : "Your Majesty, everything to defeat the enemy has been prepared. " Just in time. Yuan Fang waved his hand. He tore the arrogant war letter into pieces and said coldly: "Since Meng Huo, a barbarian, wants to die so much, I will grant him his wish and pass on the order. The whole army will be sent out tomorrow. , fight to the death with the barbarian army! "The next day. The sky was dawning. Nearly one hundred thousand soldiers of the Qi army lined up out of the city in an orderly manner and marched silently to the south of Guangdu City. Soon, according to the established plan, they formed a continuous line of troops, large and small. In several large central military formations, there are dozens of huge objects covered by black cloth. Although their true appearance cannot be seen clearly, from the appearance, they look a bit like thunderbolts. Yuan Fang is wearing a silver robe, sitting on a red rabbit, carrying a Fangtian painted halberd, standing in front of the formation, and standing next to him is Li Yan, who has just arrived. Seeing dark clouds coming from the south, Yuan Fang knew that countless barbarian troops were approaching, and there was a faint roar of "Woo-Woo" in the dark clouds. The sound was like thunder, which made people feel a little hairy. Behind Yuan Fang, the experienced soldiers of the Qi army couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, what they were about to face was something they had never seen before in their lives. War Elephant, such a powerful and strange opponent. The dark clouds gradually approached, and finally, the ferocious faces of the new enemies gradually emerged. Almost all the soldiers of the Qi army, including Yuan Fang himself, took a breath of cold air. The legendary war elephant finally appeared before our eyes. The war elephant, which was several people tall and as big as several cows, and clad in white bone armor, was approaching slowly with its huge huge legs and sharp tusks raised. Thousands of elephants, although the distance between them is wide, but overall, they are still a mass of darkness, like a huge black iron wall, pushing forward flatly. That kind of momentum gives people the illusion that Mount Tai is about to collapse and cannot be stopped by human power. And on the backs of thousands of giant elephants, tens of thousands of southern barbarian elephant soldiers were waving weapons, flaunting their bows and crossbows, roaring strange chants, and showing off their power to the Qi army on the opposite side. In the formation, on the largest war elephant, the leader of the elephant soldiers, King Mulu, was sitting cross-legged, his hideous and ugly face full of triumph. In Mulu's eyes, his war elephant is the largest creature on land, has the thickest armor, and is almost invincible. It seems that this will be a battle without any suspense. All Mulu has to do is to move his war elephant army forward, and then advance again. Crush the Qi army!
