Most animals are afraid of fire, even behemoths like elephants.
Fifty or sixty wooden oxen and horses wrapped in artificial tiger skins rushed into the herd with raging flames, and the bamboo charcoal hidden inside made a crackling and burning sound with the help of sulfur and fire nitrate, which frightened the elephant herd into a mess, ignoring the command of the soldiers on the elephant's back, and turned around and left.
In a panic, hundreds of elephants crowded each other and trampled on each other, causing the sharp tusks to be broken violently, and the injured elephants let out a painful howl, which made the other elephants even more panicked, and turned around and fled in an orderly manner, like a swarm of headless flies.
Some of the smaller Siamese elephants were crushed to the ground and trampled by other strong elephants, unable to stand up again.
With the help of flammable materials such as sulfur, fire salt, and pine resin, the burning became more and more vigorous, and the skin of the elephant that knelt on the ground and could not get up was opened, and the animal fat made a "zizi" sound under the scorching fire, and the smell of braised pork wafted under the scorching sun, which made people's appetite move.
These elephants, who were first trampled on by their companions and seriously injured, and then roasted by the fire, let out an even more terrible wail, like a hundred ghosts crying at night, tearing their hearts and lungs, and frightened the other elephants one by one.
The soldiers on the back of the elephant tried to control the elephant, but they annoyed the frightened giant elephants, shook their bodies in anger, threw the owner who had been yelling on their backs to the soles of their feet, and continued to flee in panic.
Before the barbarian soldiers who had been thrown off the back of the elephant could get up, they were swept away by the swarming herd, and there were not even bones left.
Some of the more experienced soldiers, knowing that they could not disobey the elephant in this situation, leaned down and lay on the elephant's back, firmly holding their bodies to avoid falling off.
When the disaster comes, they fly separately, it is important to save their little lives first, and it is good for the elephant to go wherever it goes, and whoever tramples to death is unlucky Seeing the menacing elephant herd scattered by the 56 wooden oxen and horses, Yang Youji led the Han army crossbowmen to chase after them, pouring dense arrows on the injured elephants who could not walk, making their howls even more miserable, and not scaring the fleeing elephants out of mental illness, vowing not to give up Zhao Yun rode his horse and speared, led an elite cavalry to chase behind, and whenever he had the opportunity, he bent his bow and arrows to shoot down the barbarian soldiers on the elephant's back, and then made up for a shot and sent him to Elysium to enjoy happiness.
When he came, the king of Gozhuo Wu rushed to the front, and at this moment the elephant herd turned south, and naturally left him behind.
Relying on the huge body of the elephant under the crotch, it was not squeezed to the ground by other elephants, and desperately grabbed the elephant saddle and fled south.
I can't care about restraining the elephant soldiers, and it is important to save my life at a critical moment.
Zhao Yun rode like a fly, shining on the four hooves of the jade unicorn in the night, and soon caught up with the giant elephant ridden by the king of Ge Yaowu.
"Look at the gun" Just when the horse and the giant elephant were advancing side by side, Zhao Yun suddenly let go of the horse's reins, jumped on the saddle and stood straight, and the spear in his hand rushed to the king of Ge Yao Wu is thunder shot, the king of Ge Yao Wu was caught off guard, was stabbed in the throat by a shot, and fell from the elephant's back when he landed, and died with a whimper.
After the death of the king of Goyaowu, more than 200 elephant soldiers were even more leaderless, allowing the frightened elephants to run wildly, and happened to meet the 8,000 cavalry led by Yue Ji head-on.
Rushing into the cavalry group like a raging wave, his huge body knocked the cavalrymen on their backs and made a mess.
Eight thousand cavalry were struck by more than two hundred crazy elephants, and they were crushed, trampled to death and trampled on more than 1,000 horsemen, and wailed everywhere.
In a panic, the cavalry formation was in chaos, and the iron cavalry all over the mountains and fields were routed to the south, and the 15,000 infantry led by Zhou Yu and Zhou Dewei were turned on their backs, trampling on each other, with countless casualties and mourning soldiers everywhere.
The four generals Zhao Yun, Cheng Yanjin, Yang Youji, and He Qi then waved their troops to cover up and kill, harvesting good heads all the way, almost encountering little resistance, and after half a day of killing, they killed more than 5,000 Guishan soldiers in total.
And the soldiers who were trampled to death by elephants, trampled to death by war horses, and crowded with each other to die are innumerable.
I wanted to use the terrifying impact of the elephant to charge in front of the road and hit the Han army under Zhuge Liang, but I didn't expect to be repaid by the other party in his own way and burn the elephant, causing the elephants to trample on the cavalry and the cavalry to trample on the infantry, and the army was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
When the Kushan army retreated to Huai'an, the number of people was counted, and the 8,000 cavalry lost more than 3,000, and less than half of the 15,000 infantry remained, and as for the more than 300 elephants, they had already run away without a trace.
Zhou Yu was heartbroken and wrote a letter to Meng Tian to plead guilty.
Meng Tian didn't expect that his own people and horses would be overwhelmed by the elephant soldiers, causing huge casualties, so he didn't let Zhou Yu carry the black pot. led 100,000 horses to the city of Huai'an, and formed a team with the only remaining 50,000 horses under Zhou Yu's command, and surrounded the Wu Qi army in Huai'an City.
The combined forces of Meng Tian and Zhou Yu totaled 150,000, of which in addition to the 30,000 remnants of the Sun clan and 50,000 Guishan soldiers, the other 70,000 were Taiping Dao believers, as well as the rabble of Linyi and Siam, and their equipment was backward.
Zhuge Liang ordered the scouts to spy on him, but he didn't take Meng Tian's army in his eyes, and waved his troops straight to Huai'an, camping ten miles away from the county seat, and forming a horn with the Wu Qi army in the city, preparing to attack inside and outside.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not afraid of his own army, but feared being attacked from the front and back, Meng Tian ordered to remove the siege of Huai'an City, and the whole army retreated five miles to set up camp, waiting for Wang Ben's main army to arrive, and then launched a general attack on the Han army.
The siege of Huai'an was temporarily lifted, and Zhuge Liang was about to send Zhao Yun to Hepu with 20,000 horses to support Xu Huang, but he received a report from the messenger that the vanguard team led by the virtuous concubine Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua and Zhende had arrived in the north of Hepu City.
With Xu Huang, Su Lie and others attacking inside and outside, Pei Yuanqing, who was killed, retreated twenty miles, and the siege of Hepu was also resolved.
Since Xu Huang had no worries on his side, Zhuge Liang and Wu Qi concentrated all their efforts to confront Meng Tian's army, and sent Zhao Yun to lead 500 light cavalry to escort Cleopatra to Cangwu to meet the Son of Heaven, and wait for the main force led by the emperor to arrive before formulating a battle strategy.
After trekking for more than 40 days, Liu Wei's army arrived at Guangxin, the seat of Cangwu County, which was still 300 miles away from Huai'an, the front line.
Hearing that the Son of Heaven led the arrival of reinforcements, Wang Shouren, the assassin of Jiaozhou, and Bei Jie Xin Ping led his staff out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and he went to the ground: "The ministers are late to welcome the holy car, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."
Liu Wei helped Wang Shouren up with a smile, comforted him, and introduced the accompanying Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Tian Feng, Kuai Yue, Shang Shifu, Zhao Kuo, Zhang He, Ma Zhong, etc., who had never met Wang Shouren.
Everyone bowed their hands to greet each other and admired each other, and Xin Ping met with Zhang He, Tian Feng and other old colleagues again, and they were even more affectionate and held hands to greet each other.
The army was stationed outside the city, and Liu Wei brought civil and military forces into the city to pacify the people, and attended Wang Shouren's reception.
After the banquet dispersed, Liu Wei ordered Wang Shouren to settle down in the mansion for the accompanying Da Qiao, Zhang Chuchen, Sun Shangxiang and other female dependents.
As soon as Wang Shouren arranged a place for his female dependents to stay, Zhao Yun took Cleopatra into Cangwu City and went straight to the Assassin's Mansion to ask for the Son of Heaven.
Liu Wei was overjoyed, and immediately announced that Zhao Yun brought Cleopatra to meet him.
Zhao Yun paid homage to the Son of Heaven and reported the battle ahead, and Liu Wei instructed Zhao Yun to return immediately to assist Zhuge Liang: "Zilong is the number one general under Kong Ming, it is not appropriate to stay in Cangwu for a long time, go back to help the war quickly" "Obey the order" Zhao Yun agreed, and he said goodbye to the Son of Heaven and returned to the front.
Just as Zhao Yun was about to retire, Liu Wei smiled and said: "Zilong walks slowly, there is one thing I almost forgot, your son Wen Zhuo is gifted, his bones are amazing, he is a genius who practices martial arts, I have asked him to follow Wang Yue in the palace to practice swordsmanship, and he will become a pillar of talent in the future."
I also have a letter from Mrs.
Cai here, please take a look at it and reply a letter to Mrs.
Zhaoji as soon as possible, so that she can feel at ease. ” "Thank you Your Majesty for cultivating the child, my Zhao father and son swear to serve the Han Dynasty to the death" Zhao Yun thanked him, happily took his wife's letter, and left.
After Zhao Yun left, Liu Wei set his eyes on Cleopatra, and this beautiful, almost bewitching exotic woman was also looking at herself with a smile.

I saw that she had long brown hair, beautiful facial features that could almost bring disaster to the country and the people, a slender figure hot and graceful, and a pair of charming big eyes that kept discharging.
When Liu Wei set out from Jinling, he collected a lot of books that recorded the knowledge of Kushan, including history, language, and geography, and Liu Wei had mastered a lot of Kushan language along the way, and was able to communicate with Cleopatra independently.
After a simple greeting, Cleopatra was very happy, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she could see that she was very satisfied with Liu Wei's performance, and saluted with the etiquette of the Mauryan Dynasty: "Respected Emperor of the Han Dynasty, you are so good, more perfect than I imagined My brother asked me to travel thousands of miles to marry the Han, but unfortunately the dowry was robbed by Sun Quan on the way, I hope that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can take me into the harem and let me be your concubine."
Liu Wei laughed loudly: "Zi said that there are friends from afar, not to mention that there are beautiful women from afar to give them a hug, how can I be the kind of man who doesn't know the amorous style, I will reward you with the title of a beauty now, from today on, you will be my woman."
Cleopatra's smiling face blossomed, and she pouted and asked, "So, we can have sex together tonight."
"Haha, you Western women are really arrogant" Liu Wei was a little unexpected, "Since the beauty is so enthusiastic and unrestrained, how can I live up to your love, but your name is really a bit awkward, I will reward you with a Han name" Cleopatra flashed a pair of big eyes that were breathtaking: "My respected husband, I don't know what name you plan to reward me, please tell me about it" Cleopatra's real name is transliterated as Cleopatra VII, which is long and awkward, perhaps this is why the system directly implanted the name Cleopatra in her.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Wei clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes, I will give you the name Ke Lio, and the surname is Ke Leo."
"Thank you, husband, the little girl is at the disposal of Your Majesty, my people are all yours, let alone a name" Cleopatra bent down to thank her, and the mountains on her chest were turbulent, which made Liu Wei's blood flow speed up a lot It was already dark, and the official business had been taken care of, and the civil and military clubs had gone out of the city and returned to the camp to rest.
Since this Yanma is enthusiastic, Liu Wei is not polite, he hugged Corio's devilish body, strode towards the wing, and said in Chinese: "You Yanma is really a wave, I can't let you underestimate it, I slept with the queen of China, the queen of Japan, and this time I slept with the queen of Europe, and I have no regrets in this life."
Although Cleopatra didn't know what Liu Wei said, she could feel this man's strong fighting spirit, and her eyes couldn't wait to swallow herself alive, and she once again flirted amorously: "Great emperor, please conquer me, I am yours tonight."
It was night, and it was raining heavily outside the window, as if beating the drums of war for Liu Bian.
The sound of "popping" in the room was higher and higher, and the gasps of men and moans of women were intertwined, burning like dry wood meeting fire.
The heavy rain did not stop, the fierce battle continued, I don't know how long it tossed, the fairy-like Cleopatra slid the waist of the water snake and begged for mercy, but the murderous Han Emperor still did not give up, until the female goblin who was begging for hardship was weakly paralyzed on the bed, and then Mingjin withdrew the troops and fell asleep. t1706231537:
