Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...

These large cavalrymen fled in disregard for their own lives; these elephant cavalrymen were completely out of anyone's control.
Meanwhile, the heavily armored infantry and cavalry nearby suffered greatly, as the elephants could easily rampage through their ranks, scattering them in disarray.
"You large cavalry, hurry up and control your elephants."
"You elephant cavalry are charging at us everywhere?"
"Are you cavalry blind? Why are you charging at our infantry?"
These heavily armored infantrymen wore thick armor and held long spears. The armor on these heavily armored infantrymen weighed tens or even hundreds of kilograms thick.
This meant that when the medium-armored cavalry faced charging elephants, they had no way to escape quickly.
The heavily armored cavalrymen were all trampled to the ground by the elephants. Even if they weren't trampled, they would have been knocked to the ground by the elephants.
More heavily armored infantrymen fell to the ground one by one, fleeing in panic, but they couldn't escape at all.
All the heavily armored infantry and cavalry unleashed a torrent of curses at the elephant cavalry, but what good did their cursing do? No amount of cursing could solve the problem. Those already wounded fled in disarray; they couldn't stop them. With their flesh and blood, it was utterly impossible to hold back these elephants.
When the heavily armored cavalry saw the elephants charging towards them, they fought back fiercely, but no matter how hard they fought, it was all in vain.
The force of these elephants, weighing several tons or even tens of tons, when they charged was beyond their imagination. Everyone could only watch helplessly as these elephants charged towards them, and they were powerless to do anything about it.
"Damn it, what are they trying to do? Do they want to crush all of us? If that's the case, what can we do against them?"
"Damn it, we were in such a good position, but now it's all ruined."
At that moment, the festival king and his ministers, who were standing on the city wall, were all dumbfounded when they saw it.
In their view, they could have easily wiped these people out, but now the situation is completely different. They have no idea what's going to happen, and they have no idea what to do.
At this moment, the festival king and his ministers were filled with fear. They knew they were completely finished. They had hoped that the elephant cavalry would come out to quell the unrest, but the elephant cavalry's performance was utterly ineffective. These thousands, even tens of thousands, of elephants had long since fled in all directions amidst the booming cannon fire, with no one knowing where they had gone.
What angered them even more was that wherever these elephant cavalry went, both heavily armored cavalry and infantry were knocked to the ground. The heavily armored infantry, in particular, were unable to get up once they were thrown to the ground by the heavy elephants. Their armor, weighing tens or even hundreds of kilograms, was simply too heavy for them to get up.
Even if they managed to get up with difficulty, they didn't need those elephant ladders at all. They easily trampled the heavily armored cavalry and infantry into mincemeat.
The people behind them saw that there was already chaos ahead, and they all panicked. These people were not wearing any armor, and they were only carrying ordinary farm tools.
These people had hoped to rush forward and grab some bargains, but reality slapped them in the face. They gained nothing and could only flee in disarray. If they didn't run, the elephants would charge and trample half of the 200,000 people to death.
But there were people everywhere, and they had no idea where to escape to. By the time these 200,000 civilians rushed over, they had already gathered together. They were following closely behind the elephant cavalry and heavy infantry.
When these people were charging into battle, they only had one thing on their minds: more people meant more strength. This meant that most of them would gather together when they were charging into battle.
Gathering together emboldens them, and these people naively believe that gathering together can also bring them a huge advantage.
The soldiers supervising the people also gathered them together and showed them what to do. There was no other way.
The people were so densely packed that when the elephant cavalry charged, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
"Don't you all gather together! If we do, we're all doomed. Are you all stupid pigs?"
"Get out of the way! Scatter quickly, or we'll all be dead."
"Damn it, stop pushing! What are you all doing? If you keep pushing forward, we'll all be dead. Those elephants are coming for us. Spread out quickly, spread out quickly, or you'll survive. What are you all thinking?"
"Damn it, didn't any of you see these elephants charging at us? What are you doing blocking us here? You bastards, do you only want us to die?"
It's easy to gather 200,000 people together, but it's impossible to separate them in a short time. Once these elephants are enraged, they rampage and take all kinds of retaliatory measures against humans.
These elephants deliberately roam into crowds, charging into the densest areas. They are all covered in sharp armor, especially their long trunks, which are equipped with sharp bayonets and machetes.
In this way, when these elephants charge into battle, they only need to flick their trunks slightly, and the sharp blades on their trunks can easily cut their opponents in two.
In addition, these Indian soldiers also inserted sharp blades into the legs of the elephants, so that when the elephants charged into battle, they could use the blades on their legs to kill their opponents.
But they never expected that the weapons they equipped the elephants would not cause them any harm and instead be used against their own people.
