    Gan Ning left the military camp quickly with three thousand soldiers and horses. After asking where the scout Meng Huo's army was, he galloped over.  ¨J, Half a day later, three thousand troops and horses came and went like the wind, and they were soon to reach the location of Meng Huo's army. The scouts sent by Gan Ning came back to report that Meng Huo was about five miles ahead and was advancing.  It was driven by beasts he had never seen before.  Gan Ning made a prompt decision and knew that Meng Huo was going to the Han army's camp, so he set up an ambush on the only road he must pass, waiting for Meng Huo and others to enter the ambush circle, and then attack them unprepared.  After some preparations, Gan Ning and others were ready, waiting for Meng Huo and others to get into the ambush circle.  Gan Ning hid in the bushes on the side of the road, looking out through the gap, but thinking to himself: "Meng Huo, I will make it impossible for you to come back this time!" This is a hilly area with uneven terrain.  There are also dense woods on both sides of the road, which are very suitable for ambushing soldiers and horses. For Gan Ning, this is simply an excellent opportunity.  However, things often backfired. When Meng Huo gradually arrived here with his army, Gan Ning and others heard the roar of beasts before they saw anyone. The sound was rich and strange, which they had never heard before.  After that, I felt a chill in my heart.  After a while, a monster several meters high came into everyone's sight. The monster had a huge body, four thick hooves, and ears on both sides of its head that were bigger than cattail fans. Its nose was about one meter long, and there were two long ears on both sides of its nose.  It has two huge fangs, and although it walks slowly, every step is heavy.  Whenever your feet hit the ground.  The ground seemed to be shaking.     besides.  This monster carried something like a sedan on its back, and inside it sat three men holding bows and arrows, fully vigilant, scanning everything on the ground with their sharp eyes.  This is a behemoth that even Gan Ning has never seen before. Its weird appearance, strange cry, and huge body have left a shadow in people's hearts, and many soldiers have even become timid.  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom" More and more behemoths drove into everyone's sight, and the ground seemed to be shaking.  The soldiers of the Han army hid in the bushes and remained motionless, but cold sweat broke out on their backs. No one was sure that they could defeat such an army.  Even Gan Ning was shocked by this strange behemoth, and he lost his mind for a while.  Just when Gan Ning was still undecided whether to attack or not, the archers on the back of the giant creature looked down and suddenly spotted the soldiers hiding in the bushes.  "There is an ambush!" The rebels suddenly shouted. Several archers drew their bows and shot arrows. They launched the first attack, breaking the peace here.  Several Han soldiers who did not hide well fell down in response.  With a fatal arrow stuck in his chest, he fell into a pool of blood!  One stone stirs up a thousand waves.  In the face of the rebellion, Gan Ning and other ambush troops were completely exposed to the attacks of these rebels, and they had no choice but to rush into battle.  The ambush appeared, and they swarmed towards the rebels like a tide. But when they rushed in front of the behemoth, they didn't know how to attack. Instead, they were blown away by the behemoth's hard and long fangs.  stand up.  The rebels drove those behemoths forward. The Han soldiers were like ants in front of these behemoths. Some were trampled to death instantly, some were pierced by their fangs, and some were shot to death by arrows.  The army was decimated with casualties, and mourning was widespread.  The front Han army was defeated, and the rest of the Han army were frightened when they saw it. Even before the battle, they were already frightened and did not dare to approach these behemoths. Instead, the rebels drove the behemoths and scattered them.  When Gan Ning saw this, he was also frightened and didn't know how to proceed. In order to cause unnecessary casualties, Gan Ning ordered a retreat while letting archers cover the two wings.  But those behemoths were covered with a layer of iron armor, which could not be penetrated by arrows. Instead, they were easily angered. The rebel archers shot arrows from a high position. The Han army was passive and was immediately killed as soon as they clashed.  As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. At this moment, the Han army has no ability to resist at all and can only be slaughtered. If it does not escape desperately, it will be a dead end.  Finally, the morale of the Han army hit rock bottom and collapsed in an instant. All the soldiers had no choice but to flee for their lives Gan Ning and his men managed to escape back to the military camp. At this time, he no longer had the original ambitions and faced that terrifying behemoth.  , as soon as he returned to the military camp, he immediately reported to Zhang Liao the power of the rebels and the terror of those behemoths.  After Zhuge Liang listened to Gan Ning's report, he glanced at Yang Feng and asked, "General Yang, what exactly is the behemoth that General Gan mentioned?" "It's a big thing."?, unique to Funan Kingdom.  This kind of animal is not very brave originally, but it was trained by the people of Funan Kingdom and became their war tool. With the tall body of these animals, galloping back and forth on the battlefield is like entering no man's land. This is also  The fundamental reason why Funan Kingdom, which only has more than 10,000 soldiers, is based there.  Yang Feng said. Zhuge Liang thought for a while and asked: "All things are mutually reinforcing. Since the elephant is an animal, there must be something that scares him. Does General Yang know what the elephant's natural enemy is?"  ?  " "There are no natural enemies of elephants here, elephants are invincible!  Yang Feng said. Zhuge Liang said: "Nothing is absolute. Even if he has no natural enemies, he must be afraid of some animal, right?"  I don't believe it, this elephant is really that invincible!  " As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Liao for orders to take a few people to observe the elephant in person. Zhang Liao did not let Zhuge Liang go for safety reasons, but Zhuge Liang insisted on doing so. Zhang Liao and the generals could not persuade him.  In the end, Zhang Liao had no choice but to agree to Zhuge Liang's request and sent Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others to go with Zhuge Liang to protect Zhuge Liang. So Zhuge Liang, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others left the camp and followed the instructions.  We searched for the location provided by the scouts. When we were about to get close to the enemy, we sent scouts to investigate first. Only then did we find out that the rebels did not continue to advance, but stayed at a nearby small river to rest.  The others quietly slipped to the river and observed these giant beasts called elephants from a distance. At this moment, the rebels stayed by the river to rest. Groups of elephants stood in the water and played with their long legs.  The long trunks sucked water from the river, and then sprayed the water out with their trunks, while the rebels were camping on the bank. Seeing that it was getting dark, the elephants played in the water for a while before being driven ashore.  Specialized people came to feed the elephants food, which was mostly bananas, apples and other things, but they didn't see any meat. After the elephants finished foraging, they were herded together and enclosed in a fence to rest, while outside they were surrounded by food.  Some soldiers responsible for guarding the elephants. In the distance, Zhuge Liang and others carefully watched everything happening on the other side of the river. It was not until night fell that Zhuge Liang asked everyone to return to the camp. On the way back, Zhuge Liang reviewed what he saw.  After sorting it out again, after arriving at the military camp, a faint smile appeared on his face and he said to himself: "So that's it" "Military advisor, why is that so?  "Xu Huang was closest to Zhuge Liang. After hearing Zhuge Liang muttering to himself, he felt strange, so he asked. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Xu Huang: "I have a way to deal with these behemoths!  " Xu Huang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is it true or false?  "Zhuge Liang said: "Let's go see the governor!  " The group of people returned to the military camp and saw Zhang Liao. It was getting late at this time, but Zhang Liao was anxiously waiting for the return of Zhuge Liang and others. After seeing Zhuge Liang and others return, he breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Zhuge Liang and the others would  "Military advisor, you are finally back!"  What can be gained from this trip?  Zhang Liao asked. Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The harvest is quite rich!"  I've found a way to deal with those behemoths!  " Zhang Liao said in surprise: "Tell me about it!  " Zhuge Liang said: "My generals and I have been observing these behemoths for most of the day. It was not until the enemy fed them that I discovered the clues. Based on what Yang Feng said before, I can roughly draw a conclusion.  " "What conclusion?  "Zhang Liao asked. Zhuge Liang said: "Although these behemoths are tall, they are not carnivorous animals. They only eat some seasonal fruits. Combined with what Yang Feng said before, these animals called elephants are originally relatively docile.  From the words, it is not difficult to see their habits.  " After hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a while, and they were all dubious about Zhuge Liang's words. "Military advisor, although these elephants eat some seasonal fruits, it does not prove that they do not eat meat. If such a ferocious animal does not eat meat,  So how do you get a foothold in the forest?  Gan Ning retorted. Zhuge Liang said: "If these elephants are carnivores, then the people who feed them will definitely feed them meat instead of fruits."  I would like to ask, does a carnivore have to have meat in every meal?  The tigers, wolves and other animals we commonly see are carnivores. When have you ever seen them eating fruit?  From this I can conclude that these elephants are definitely not carnivores.  " "Even if they are not carnivores, these behemoths are very powerful when driven by the rebels. We??I can't compete for a while.  The rebels are not far from here, and they might come to kill them tomorrow. What can we do to resist them then?  "Gan Ning said. Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "The enemy will be defeated tonight. When the sun rises tomorrow, the whole territory of Nanzhong will be pacified!  "(To be continued)
