Chapter 914 The Power of the God of Thunder
Rishaman felt that Tang Jun’s reaction was a bit inappropriate...
Faced with the menacing attack of the enemy soldiers, shouldn't we panic and flee in all directions? Even if you are a Tang army with unparalleled bravery and invincible combat power, you are not stupid enough to be able to withstand the charge of an elephant with your flesh and blood, right?
An inexplicable sense of crisis arose in Risha's heart, and he subconsciously slowed down the charging speed of the elephant beneath him, while the elephant soldiers behind him rushed up from both sides like a rising tide.
The sense of crisis is getting stronger...
However, when the two armies were fighting, the opportunity was fleeting, and Rishaman had no time to think too much. It was a good thing that the Tang army did not run away. It would be much easier if the elephants would be trampled into a pulp if they trampled randomly!
The infantry used the cover of the elephant soldiers to follow behind and ducked to avoid the arrows fired by the Tang army. In this way, the casualties were greatly reduced, and they quickly approached the city gate. Although the Tang army was brave, they were not large in number. Rishaman believed that if thousands of his soldiers rushed forward, they could kill the Tang army even with one bite!
Putting aside his worries for a moment, Risha waited for the exciting moment when the elephant soldiers rushed into the Tang army's formation! The bravery of the Han people has long been spread as a myth among various countries. It does not mean that the Turks in the northwest dared to fight head-on with the Tang army. Countries such as Linyi, Funan, Chenla, and Siam all regarded the Han people as tigers and leopards. This was from the bottom of their hearts. of awe!
But now, am I about to annihilate a Tang army of hundreds of people?
Rishaman didn't know whether he was excited or afraid. He was excited that the myth of the Han people's invincibility would end in his own hands, and his name would definitely become the God of War in the hearts of the Zhenla people; he was afraid that the Tang army would retaliate.
If the Tang army was angered and then gathered forces to invade Chenla, Rizhaman had no doubt that the Tang army could march straight into Chenla, regardless of the Linyi area between the two countries. It is true that the Tang army cannot be stationed in Chenla for a long time, but as long as it breaks through the capital of Chenla, the neighboring countries surrounded by wolves will follow the Tang army and tear Chenla into pieces in minutes...
Just when Rishaman was extremely worried about gains and losses, the Tang army finally responded!
These hundreds of crossbowmen and sword and shield men did not change their formation, but more than a hundred red-tasseled Tang soldiers rushed out from the city gate behind them, some of them holding torches...
That's right, it's a torch.
Rishaman was puzzled. He had read several military books and knew that "fire attack" played an extremely important role in the Han people's art of war. Countless classic battles in history were won by fire attack. But this is the country of Linyi, with lush vegetation and plenty of water. Coupled with the heavy fog in the sky, the fire attack is of no use?
Then, he saw a scene that made him terrified...
The Tang troops holding torches stood behind the archers, while the other Tang troops took out a dark ball-shaped object from a bag they carried and placed it against the flame of the torch, as if they wanted to light it.
Rishaman watched helplessly as the spherical objects emitted light smoke in a blink of an eye, and were thrown by the Tang army in front of the charging elephant soldiers.
The next moment...
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosions sounded like the thunder god in the sky was angry, and the ground beneath his feet shook violently like an earth dragon turning over. His ears were buzzing from the huge roar, and his eyes were filled with fire and smoke like from hell.
Countless broken afterimages were scattered in the explosion, like arrows that effortlessly penetrated the elephant's thick flesh!
"Ouch - Ouch - Ouch -"
The elephants at the front let out a sharp roar, and blood spurted out from countless wounds on their bodies. They were frightened, frightened and in pain. The animal instincts keenly sensed the coming danger. They no longer ignored the urging of the soldiers on their bodies and turned around. run.
The elephant soldiers behind rushed forward, and the elephant soldiers in front ran back. As a result, hundreds of elephant soldiers suddenly collided with each other, trampling each other, and countless elephants screamed in agony. The screams were shrill, desolate, and tragic. , tragic...
Rizhaman was completely stupid!
What kind of weapon is this? !
It was as powerful as a divine thunder coming to the world. Even elephants could not withstand the violent explosion. How could the soldiers' flesh and blood resist it?
The Tang army moved neatly and without a trace of chaos. Thunderous thunder exploded one after another in front of the elephant soldiers, driving them back. Never dare to throw thunder into the middle of the elephant soldiers' array, otherwise the frightened elephant will not care about the east, west, north or south. If the violent size and strength rush into the formation on your side, it will be tragic...
In just the blink of an eye, the elephant soldiers who were charging like an overwhelming force just now were defeated. Animals are naturally afraid of fire and violent noises. Under the roar of thunder, hundreds of elephant soldiers were completely thrown into chaos, almost in one fell swoop. Complete collapse in an instant. The violent elephant turned around and ran away in fear, bursting out at a speed no less than that of a galloping horse. Its huge size became a disaster for the Chenla infantry following behind. Then he was trampled into a pulp...
The whole army was in chaos with loud cries.
Rishaman sadly discovered that the army he had been so proud of just now had completely collapsed. Even if gods and Buddhas came to the world, it would be impossible to turn defeat into victory.
Fortunately, he just hesitated and fell behind instead of rushing ahead, so he was not trampled to pieces by the crazy elephant.
Now that the defeat was certain, Rishaman made a decisive decision, turned the elephant around, turned around and ran away!
Without the threat of the elephant soldiers, the Tang Army's crossbowmen began to advance slowly under the cover of the sword and shield men. As they advanced, they used their crossbows to shoot down the Zhenla infantry who were not covered by the elephant soldiers.
The protective power of Zhenla's army was extremely low. The entire army did not even have a few pieces of leather armor, let alone iron armor that could withstand bows and arrows. One after another, the wolf-fang arrows soared into the air, and the white feathers at the end drew a perfect trajectory in the air, and then plunged into the bodies of Zhenla soldiers.
A howl!
Rishaman almost broke his teeth and felt so remorseful that he wanted to vomit blood!
Why didn't you listen to Chen Jingshuo, reorganize it a little, find out the reality of Sangha Buluo City, and then launch an attack? If he had known that there was such a Tang army helping Lin Yi to defend the city, he would not have dared to attack the city even if he was killed!
But now it was too late to regret it. The screams and screams coming from behind made him feel frightened. He could only keep urging the elephant under him to escape from this place quickly, and then return to Zhenla without stopping!
The frightened elephant was very fast, and Rishaman felt a little relieved. All the countries in the southeast are short of horses. The elephants with increased speed are the fastest means of transportation. People will definitely not be able to catch up!
Rizhaman, who felt a little at ease in his heart, suddenly felt his body swaying. The undulating mountains and forests in the distance just before him suddenly turned into soft earth, and then he hit the ground head first...
Rishaman, who fell into a daze, was woken up by several shrill elephant cries. Only then did he realize that one of the elephant legs beneath him had fallen into a deep pit. The running speed plus the elephant itself The huge weight caused the entire elephant leg to be broken in one fell swoop, and blood spurted out from the broken leg like a fountain.
Under the severe pain, the elephant rolled all over the ground, and its shrill screams were so loud that Risha's ears almost broke.
Looking around, countless pits were trampled by the fleeing elephants. The ground was full of rolling and wailing elephants. Many elephant soldiers were thrown directly to the ground and then smashed into meat patties by the elephants' huge bodies.
The miserable scene is like hell!
Lisha was so frightened that he remembered why Lin Yi's army had turned a corner while escaping...
Just to avoid this pit that was dug in advance!
When the elephant soldiers are chasing, they can follow Lin Yiguo's army in a circle, but when they escape, they naturally have to take the shortest route. What route is closest? Of course it’s the closest straight line!
So, as expected, I accidentally fell into a trap...
Rizhaman wanted to stand up and continue running away, he didn't want to die here! But as soon as I moved, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh! Risha was sweating profusely in pain. He struggled hard and found in despair that both of his legs were broken.
Looking up at the sky, the sun cannot be seen in the gray sky. The light mist has not completely dissipated. My ears are filled with the screams of soldiers and the roar of elephants. The expected victory has not come, but instead In an instant, the situation of the battle was reversed and turned into a devastating defeat.
A cold arrow flew from nowhere and penetrated Rishaman's broken thigh, nailing him to the ground so hard that he could not move at all.
Suddenly I remembered a cry of surprise and joy: "Come on, come on, I've caught a big fish. This is the prime minister of Zhenla Kingdom..."
Risha felt like crying but had no tears, and his heart was filled with sadness...
Where did you all take the tickets, cry to death...
