    The elephant soldiers are the only military unit in Tianzhu that can catch the attention of the Tang army. They have unparalleled impact. This is the weapon that Tianzhu relied on to establish its country. The king of Western Tianzhu was full of confidence and thought that he could trample the Tang army into a pulp with the terrifying charge of the elephant soldiers.  But he didn¡¯t expect that the elephant soldiers would suffer heavy casualties before they even rushed to the Tang army¡¯s formation.  He had never seen so many casualties in his memory. He was so shocked that he almost dropped his eyes to the ground.  "Impossible! Impossible!" King Xi Tianzhu rubbed his eyes, his eyes widened, and he looked around the battlefield desperately. Yes, the elephant soldiers suffered heavy casualties.  Not only the King of Western Tianzhu had delusions, but also the officials and soldiers were all rubbing their eyes desperately and looking at the battlefield.  If you don¡¯t believe it, the wailing and screaming elephant soldiers are the irrefutable proof; if you believe it, this has never happened in the history of Tianzhu, so they are shocked and doubtful.  "How could this happen? How could this happen?" Then, they muttered loudly, looking confused.  The powerful crossbow was a weapon that was unique in the world in ancient China. Our ancestors relied on the powerful crossbow to suppress the riding and archery of the nomads, and successively defeated powerful nomads such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks.  For the people of Tianzhu, such a powerful crossbow array is a new thing, and it is difficult for them to turn around at once.  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Just when they were in shock and doubt, the crossbow continued to exert its power and fired in turn.  The dense crossbow bolts covered the elephant soldiers again and again, causing countless dead and wounded elephant soldiers.  "Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!" Zhang Yu, the king of Xizai Zhu, came to his senses and ordered the elephant soldiers to retreat.  It¡¯s a pity that the war has reached this point.  Can the elephant soldiers be able to withdraw?  When the elephant soldiers charge.  The crossbows are shooting; the elephant soldiers are retreating.  The crossbow is still shooting.  It didn't take long for all the elephant soldiers in this round of attack to be killed.  "" This round of charging elephant soldiers were completely lost, but they didn't even touch the corners of the Tang army's clothes. This was so unbelievable that the monarchs and ministers of Western Tianzhu were so shocked that they were speechless.  "Your Majesty, the situation is not good." A minister reacted and warned.  ??Does it even need to be said?  The elephant soldiers had nothing to do with the Tang army. What could Western Tianzhu use to fight the Tang army?  "Your Majesty, please think of a way quickly." A minister said hurriedly.  Think of a way, think of a way, in this situation, what else can the King of Western Tianzhu think of?  "Attack!" At this moment, Xue Zhi waved his right hand and shouted an order.  The Tang army began to launch an overwhelming offensive against the Western Tianzhu army.  First, the cavalry was dispatched and galloped away, directly inserting into the back of the Western Tianzhu army, successfully cutting off the retreat of the Western Tianzhu army.  Then, it¡¯s time to open the way with a strong crossbow.  Cover the advancement of Mo Dao's battle formation.  The crossbow is so terrifying, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.  The troops of Western Tianzhu fell in pieces.  The progress of the Modao Battle Formation is extremely smooth. No matter whether it is a human or an elephant, they will finish the game when encountering the Modao Battle Formation.  Not long after, the Western Tianzhu army suffered heavy casualties and was divided by the Tang army. The Tang army was like a greedy meat grinder, devouring the lives of the Western Tianzhu army.  There are more and more corpses on the ground, and the blood has no time to soak into the soil, forming a blood lake, shining in the sun, indescribably charming and strange.  "Your Majesty, surrender." Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, some ministers were frightened and thought of surrender.  "Yes, Your Majesty. If you don't surrender, you will be killed." "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as we survive, there is hope." Immediately, some ministers agreed.  In this situation, Xi Tianzhu has no other way out except surrender.  If you fight, you will definitely be killed by the Tang army; if you run, you will have no way to escape, and you will have to surrender if you don't surrender.  "Surrender." The King of Western Tianzhu took a long breath, sighed, and had no choice but to surrender.  "Tang Army, please stop attacking, we surrender." The King of Western Tianzhu shouted loudly.  The ministers opened their eyes wide, raised their ears, and looked at Xue Zhi, very nervous and expectant.  What is nervous is that they are afraid that the Tang army will not accept their surrender. In that case, they will be dead.  The hope is that if the Tang army can accept their surrender, they will have a way to survive.  "King of Western Tianzhu, I gave you the opportunity, but you missed it yourself. Don't blame me for not predicting what I said." Xue Zhi said coldly: "The Tang Dynasty will practice what it says! I said, if you dare to resist  , I will slaughter the army. Now, I will kill you all! "The march into Tianzhu went so smoothly, far beyond Li Longji's expectations.  Smoothness is both a good thing and a bad thing.  The advantage is that you canCapture Tianzhu quickly at a small price.  The disadvantage is that there is no tough battle, no power can be established, and no way to deter Tianzhu.  It is from this consideration that Li Longji wants to use Western Tianzhu and Southern Tianzhu to establish his authority.  Xue Zhi was well aware of Li Longji's intentions and had long made up his mind to massacre the army. Asking the King of Western Tianzhu to surrender was just a formality. Knowing that he would not surrender, he deliberately gave him an opportunity that seemed to exist but actually did not exist.  "This" If Xue Zhi said this before the war started, they would definitely listen to it as a joke.  Now that he said this, the monarchs and ministers of Western Tianzhu were frightened.  The Tang army has already demonstrated its strong combat power, and it will definitely be possible to massacre the army.  In that case, they would all die, who wouldn't be surprised?  "Tang Jun, blame me for being blind, not knowing how powerful Tang Jun is, and talking nonsense. Please don't blame Tang Jun." Xi Tianzhu's face was as white as snow, without a trace of blood, as if he had been buried in the soil.  "Kill all the Tianzhu dogs!" This was Xue Zhi's answer to him.  "Kill all the Tianzhu dogs!" The Tang army carried out this order very well and massacred so much that the Western Tianzhu army flowed with blood and piled up mountains of corpses.  The Western Tianzhu army wanted to escape back to the city, but the Tang army cut off its retreat and was unable to enter the city.  If you want to escape elsewhere, the cavalry of the Tang Army are chasing you everywhere. How many of them can escape?  What followed was a massacre, a one-sided massacre.  The Tang army faithfully carried out the order to "slaughter the army" and killed all the troops in Western Tianzhu.  "The King of Western Tianzhu saw that the army he had worked so hard to build was completely dead and wounded, and he even wanted to die. What could he do?  If only I had known this.  Why not surrender early?  "I am a sinner. I am ashamed of my ancestors. I can only apologize with death." The King of Western Tianzhu wanted to wipe his neck, but he put the knife on his neck and did not dare to wipe it off.  "Crack." His hand shook and the knife fell to the ground.  "You don't even have the courage to die, I will help you." Xue Zhi came on horseback, as if he was looking at a dead dog, without any pity, and waved the knife in his hand.  The king of Western Tianzhu died.  His head was rolling on the ground, and his mouth kept opening and closing, as if asking Xue Zhi, why don't you capture me?  He is not even qualified to be a prisoner. He, the King of Western Tianzhu, is too cowardly.  At this point, Western Tianzhu was destroyed. ? ? xxxxxxxxxx At the same time, the battle to destroy Southern Tianzhu also started.  After the King of Nantianzhu received the news that the Tang army had entered Nantianzhu, he convened his ministers for discussion.  "The Tang army has entered our country in large numbers. Please tell us how we should respond." King Nan Tianzhu glanced at the ministers.  asked loudly.  "Your Majesty, the Tang army is fierce and good at fighting. Even our elephant soldiers are no match for us. We must not accept the challenge." The Tang army is famous and they have to be afraid.  "That's right. The elephant soldiers are no match for the Tang army. I didn't believe it at first, but as the news became more and more, I had to believe it. We can't fight the Tang army. That would be death." "If we don't fight, will we lose our country?"  Giving up? This is not possible. "No one will be willing to give up a great country.  "What you said makes sense. In my opinion, we still have to fight this battle. As long as we don't fight in the field and fight with the Tang army in the wild, we are not afraid of the Tang army. The elephant soldiers are no match for the Tang army, so we don't need to send elephant soldiers."  We go to war, don't we still have a city? Our capital is a fortified city with high walls and we should defend it." "This is a good idea. The Tang army comes from a long distance, which is conducive to a quick victory but not a protracted war.  We have the right time, place, and people, and we can drag it on. As long as we drag it on and let the Tang army be defeated by the fortified city, the Tang army's prestige will be greatly damaged, and our prestige will greatly increase.  It is extremely beneficial to us. " "Also, if the Tang army is frustrated, there will be an uprising elsewhere. If we continue to add fuel to the flames, we will eventually attack in groups. No matter how hard the Tang army fights, it will inevitably be destroyed. " Some ministers are still there.  He was quite shrewd and came up with a good idea.  "That's right! That's right! You guys came up with a good idea, let's do it like this." King Nan Tianzhu was very happy.  I have to say that this idea was really cruel and hit the Tang Army's vitals.  The Tang army is well-equipped, well-trained, has strict orders, advanced tactics and tactics, and is extremely powerful. In a field battle with the Tang army, even the elephant soldiers are no match, and Nan Tianzhu will definitely lose.  If Nan Tianzhu holds the city and defends it, using the strong city to consume the Tang army will be enough to drag down the Tang army. By then, if Nan Tianzhu seizes the opportunity to attack again, he will definitely defeat the Tang army.  If the news of the defeat of the Tang army spreads, it will be a disaster for the Tang army, because those who have been conquered by the Tang army willThe land of Tianzhu will rise up, and the Tang army will fall into passivity.  Having made the right decision, King Nan Tianzhu gave an order, and the troops of Nan Tianzhu went to the city to defend themselves, hoping to overwhelm the Tang army.  When Yang Sixu led his army to the capital of South Tianzhu, the King of South India climbed to the top of the city, pointed at Yang Sixu, and mocked: "Tang General, listen. I know that you are very powerful and have strong fighting power. If we fight in the field, we  If we can't defeat you, our elephant soldiers will be slaughtered by you. It doesn't matter. I won't fight with you. I will defend the city. Come on, attack the city quickly!  !¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The officials laughed and mocked Tang Jun.  The royal city of Nan Tianzhu is very strong. The city is tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Tang army attacks the city, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties. They have absolute confidence that they can defend the city.  "Everyone in the city, listen: I am Yang Sixu, and I order you to surrender immediately to save the lives of your family. If you dare to say no, I will massacre the city! Anyone who is more than three feet tall will be killed!" Yang Sixu came with a horse.  The people below the city shouted loudly.  He was a eunuch, and his voice was shrill and harsh, like the cry of a night owl, which was very unpleasant to hear.  "Anyone who is more than three feet tall will be killed. That's a big statement. How do you kill it?" King Nan Tianzhu sneered.  Yang Sixu glanced at King Nan Tianzhu coldly, rode his horse back to the formation, and said: "Pull up the crossbow."
