Li Cunxiao nodded. Huo Qubing was right. The sound of these cannons was enough to make all these elephant cavalrymen tremble with fear.
"It's not too late for you to launch your attack after we've finished our charge."
“We need to make these Indians understand that their idea of opposing us is simply wishful thinking. They're dreaming. We have 1,000 ways, 10,000 ways to kill them.”
"General Li, we will start firing before you charge. We must make the enemy lose their composure first. When you attack, you will surely defeat them and make them flee in disarray."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao nodded. At that moment, Han Xin's troops had already turned their cannons to deal with the elephant cavalry. Han Xin's idea was exactly the same as Huo Qubing's: as long as the elephant cavalry were terrified and the other cavalrymen fled in disarray, they could easily win this battle.
Those standing on the city walls—the King and Queen Mother of India—all had their eyes fixed on Chengdu. These scoundrels naively believed they would surely achieve a great victory this time; in their eyes, with such a massive elephant cavalry charging ahead, no one else could stand a chance.
"Beat the drums a little louder, blow the horns a little louder, we need to make them understand that it's wishful thinking for them to oppose us. They're daydreaming. We can kill them all."
At King Harsha's command, the war drums sounded once more. This time, the drums were even louder than before.
The Indians' horns rang out, and all the soldiers blowing the horns puffed out their cheeks. In their eyes, they were sure to achieve a complete victory this time, and no matter who the enemy was, nothing could stop them from winning.
Accompanied by deafening war drums and horns.
All the 23s were as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and even the 200,000 people behind them were all in high spirits at this moment.
"We never imagined that after we went to the battlefield, we would be able to charge alongside the regular army."
"Once we launch an attack, we can easily kill the enemy."
"The enemy only sent tens of thousands of men this time, and that wasn't enough. The elephant cavalry and the heavy infantry on the side fought the battle. We can only pick up the pieces."
"Whether we pick up what's already there or wipe them out, our abilities should not be underestimated. Since these bastards have come all the way here, we can wipe them out completely. We need to let them know that coming here is simply courting death."
The people who came down from the mountain picked up everything they could and charged with the regular army. None of the Indians were empty-handed; some carried carrying poles, some carried hoes, and some carried sickles.
Most of the 23 men were carrying wooden sticks. They charged forward, howling. These dark-skinned Indians looked like barbarians from the north. And indeed, they were uncivilized people.
Seeing all 23 soldiers rushing towards Han Xin and Huo Qubing's troops like a tidal wave, King Jie Ri was overjoyed when he saw this from the city wall. At this moment, on this festive occasion, the king thought to himself that as long as there were many people, their strength would surely be great.
However, fighting on the battlefield is not like ordinary civilians fighting. In ordinary civilian fights, the greater strength and numbers might allow them to win. But the situation on the battlefield is far more complex than a simple civilian brawl.
"The soldiers rushed forward and chopped the enemy down."
"
"We want to show them our power, we want to crush them all into mincemeat, we want them all to die under the iron hooves of our elephants."
These bastards charged forward, howling as they went, but little did they know that at that very moment, hundreds of cannons were already aimed at the elephant cavalry charging ahead.
Han Xin and Huo Qubing waited for each other, getting closer and closer.
"Artillerymen, give it your all!" With this command, hundreds of cannons opened fire almost simultaneously, creating a deafening roar.
Before the elephant cavalry could even realize what was happening, they heard a series of whooshing sounds as the cannonballs hurtled towards them. Seconds later, the cannonballs exploded violently among the elephant cavalry.
The deafening explosions were truly earth-shattering; the simultaneous explosions of hundreds of shells were simply unbelievable to them.
The elephant riders were blown to pieces, their limbs and torsos scattered everywhere. They had no idea what was happening. They only felt that everything around them was changing.
The explosion was deafening, and the ground shook as if a major earthquake had occurred.
The elephants were horribly damaged by the bombing. Large numbers of elephants fell to the ground amidst the deafening roar of the cannons, and once they fell, it was not easy for them to get up again.
Just moments ago, these elephant riders were full of confidence, believing they would surely win this battle. However, when they clearly saw the elephants fall to the ground, they all panicked.
Another volley of shells flew over, followed by a series of booming sounds as hot, sharp shrapnel flew through the air.
These shrapnel projectiles were incredibly sharp and could easily pierce through the elephants and the cavalrymen on their backs.
The elephants were horribly damaged by the bombing, and the cavalrymen on their backs were also horribly damaged, their flesh mangled and bloody.
Many cavalrymen were propelled tens of meters into the air by the shockwave of the explosion. When they crashed to the ground, the elephants behind them were already in disarray, and the elephants behind them easily trampled over the cavalrymen.
These elephants weighed seven tons, or even more than ten tons. When these elephants trampled over their backs, the people who were thrown to the ground were all completely at a loss.
As the elephants trampled over their backs, everyone was crushed into a bloody pulp, screaming in agony. Not only were they coughing up blood, but every bone in their bodies was broken.
The scene was horrific. What surprised them even more was that the deafening explosion terrified all the elephants. Once startled, the elephants went completely berserk and became uncontrollable.
