The scene of the elephants charging together is extremely shocking.
The tall figure is very impactful.
The soldiers on Dayuan's side were stunned with shock.
I have never seen such a huge creature so close.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
No one in the world realizes the seriousness of the matter.
Such a large animal is simply unable to resist.
Moreover, the elephant was covered in heavy armor, which could not be penetrated by arrows.
We can only retreat quickly to avoid the enemy's attack.
But the elephant's charging speed is very fast, and it runs from a high place to a low place.
Even the trees in front were easily broken, and the momentum was unstoppable.
The archers hurriedly shot arrows at the enemy.
The arrow hit the elephant's armor and was directly bounced off.
No action at all.
Qin Qingxue knew that she was no match for the enemy, so she quickly gave the order to retreat.
The momentum that was finally built up was gone at this moment.
All the soldiers were frightened and fled in panic.
Even the army's formation was in disarray.
Horseback soldiers are easier to deal with, as they can keep their distance.
But the fate of those infantrymen was horrible.
Soon he was caught up by the herd of elephants and trampled over.
Screams and wails were heard everywhere.
Qin Qingxue saw that if they continued to fight like this, their entire army would be wiped out.
The only thing they could do was give the order for the soldiers to escape on their own.
After returning home, we will get together again.
Hearing the screams of the soldiers being killed, Qin Qingxue's heart was bleeding.
I wonder how many of the tens of thousands of troops can be left.
I didn't expect that the first battle after arriving in the south would result in such a miserable defeat.
She couldn't accept it at all.
Especially the first time she saw the elephant cavalry, it left an indelible shadow in her heart.
With such a huge body, it is impossible to win if it cooperates with soldiers in combat.
How to fight the next battle?
Even the heavy cavalry was useless.
This is a completely unequal war.
By the time they desperately retreated back to the city, more than half of the 70,000-strong army had suffered casualties.
There are only more than 40,000 left.
Qin Qingxue immediately called the local generals over and scolded them.
"Why did no one tell me that the enemy had elephants on the battlefield?"
"If we had known that the enemy had such powerful cavalry, we could have prepared in advance.
It is impossible to suffer such a huge loss."
"Are you all trying to make fun of me by deliberately concealing the news and causing our army to suffer a defeat?"
"Okay, okay, Marshal, I'll let you know what will happen if you do this."
Qin Qingxue was already furious beyond measure.
"Someone, come and pull them all down and chop them up!"
"General, please spare us! We don't know why Annan suddenly sent out elephant cavalry, and we didn't know they had trained such a large number of elephants."
"Yes, we've been fighting the enemy for over two months! We haven't even seen a single elephant.
We naturally didn't know that they were training elephant cavalry to deal with the Marshal."
"It's unfair. If I had known this earlier, I would have told the commander-in-chief in advance."
It seems that many generals are crying out for injustice.
Qin Qingxue stopped the executioner's personal guards.
"You said it was all real? You didn't even see an elephant from the beginning?"
"Yes! We didn't expect Annan to be so hidden.
It’s really hard to predict.”
"Okay, I'll take your heads for now! The commander will send someone to investigate in detail.
Anyone who dares to lie will be killed.”
"Marshal, please investigate! If there's even a hint of a lie, I'll deal with you as I please."
After listening to the soldiers' words, Qin Qingxue had already believed most of them.
The penalty can only be cancelled first.
Then he asked, "You are guarding the border, so you should have some understanding of the Annan army.
Is there any way to deal with their elephants?"
"No!" A soldier shook his head.
“Elephants are huge, not only extremely strong, but also run as fast as war horses.
There is no way to resist a head-on confrontation.
The only drawback is that elephants need to rest after running for a distance.
After all, a large body consumes a lot of energy.
On the battlefield it is best to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and lure their elephants and cavalry away first.
Then launch an attack on their army."
Another general immediately said: "General, although the elephant cavalry is very powerful.
However, elephants consume a huge amount of food every day, so it is impossible to raise them in large numbers.
It is estimated that this is all the elephant cavalry that Annan can produce.
In future battles, we should avoid the enemy's sharp edge and focus on killing their infantry.
We can definitely win!"
"That's what you say, but if the enemy doesn't move forward and keeps attacking us, how are we going to defend ourselves?" Shi Wushuang said coldly.
"Well, if that's the case, then we can only rely on the city's defense.
At the same time, a small number of flexible cavalry were sent to the rear to harass the enemy's supply lines.
As long as we prevent the enemy from obtaining sufficient food and supplies, they will naturally retreat."
"This method won't work at all! The enemy has already occupied so many places, and they can sustain themselves for a long time just by looting food.
On the contrary, we can’t afford it!”
Shi Wushuang immediately pointed out the key point.
If we cannot deal with the enemy's elephant cavalry, we will only suffer repeated defeats.
"The enemy is well prepared. I'm afraid it won't be easy to win." Qin Qingxue felt that the situation in front of her was very tricky.
If we continue to lose battles, the military power will fall into the hands of Li Ye.
Her title of General Changying will not live up to her reputation.
I have finally achieved my current status and I am not willing to give it up.
"Don't rush. Victory and defeat are commonplace in war! We'll rely on layered defenses first, slowly searching for the enemy's weaknesses."
Shi Wushuang persuaded him softly.
He didn't care at all about the defeat of the army.
The main anti-Japanese army was trapped in the city, which made Shi Wushuang very happy.
I feel like this is a perfect opportunity to kill Li Ye.
All we need to do is provide information to the enemy and ask them to send troops to attack Li Ye.
With sufficient preparation, it would be easy to annihilate the entire army led by Li Ye.
What we need to do now is to stabilize Qin Qingxue first and plan this matter secretly.
At this moment, Li Ye was leading his men to attack a garrison in Annan.
Be careful along the way to avoid being discovered.
Only by a surprise attack can we wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
The talented players at Vulture Mountain played an important role.
In this complex mountain terrain, it is like a fish in water.
With them scout the way ahead, even if there are enemy spies, they can be easily found and dealt with.
Soon we arrived at the place where the enemy was stationed.
This is a key transportation hub, no wonder troops are specially sent to guard it.
Li Ye ordered a team of soldiers to surround the rear first.
He personally led the troops to launch an attack.
Surround the enemy silently.
After listening to the scout's report, Li Ye immediately gave the order to attack.
At the same time, he grabbed Princess Ruyue who was eager to try.
"You can't go anywhere, just stay by my side!
Even if you have great martial arts skills, you won't be able to play a big role on the battlefield.
A single arrow could seriously injure you."
