Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 760

"It turns out that such a long elephant can be controlled by people. It's really amazing," Shamoke murmured.

People in the Han Dynasty were no strangers to objects. Ancient elephants also existed in the Yellow River Basin during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. However, as the climate changed and the forest area decreased, the elephants gradually disappeared from the human-inhabited areas of the Central Plains.

Elephants have been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, and they only hear their names but not their shapes. The Wuxi barbarians live in the remote mountainous area of ​​Wuling County. They have never even heard of elephants, so they are very frightened during the day.

"The impact of fifty or sixty elephants is so strong. It would be difficult to deal with more elephants." Lan Yuan frowned.

"Can our army be defeated?" Gao Ling asked curiously.

Lan Yuan shook his head: "Wild elephants may be hunted and killed by siege, but the opponent is obviously controlled by humans, and the heavy armor of the soldiers in the formation is useless in the face of absolute power."

Sha Moke nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, those elephants are invulnerable, and they run like a landslide at the same time."

Gao Ling swallowed, lowered his head and murmured: "Is it so powerful?"

"Uncle Gao, you have led the army for many years, have you ever encountered such a situation? Is there a good way to deal with it?" Lan Yuan turned to Gao Shun for advice.

Gao Shun put his left hand on his chin, his face was full of seriousness, he frowned and replied: "I have met tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, and I have only heard about elephants. Maybe you have a lot of experience and can find a way."

"Then what should we do? Our southern expedition is like a broken bamboo, and we are about to reach the capital of Linyi. We can't be blocked by these beasts, right? There are such beasts in this poor place." Shamoke looked very anxious.

"The original name of Linyi King's Capital is Xianglin. Isn't that name obvious enough?" Lan Yuan shook his head after speaking. The critical situation before him was the biggest difficulty he had encountered since he joined the army.

"Elephant forest, elephant forest, elephant forest?" Samoke suddenly realized.

Gao Shun saw that Lan Yuan's brows were frowning, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter how powerful an elephant is, it's still a beast. The Zhan people can control them, which means that this thing must have a weakness. Let's see if we can take advantage of the cavalry tomorrow and find a way to break it." Get rid of the beast army of the Cham people."

"Prefect Yu once stayed in Rinan when he was young. He might know the habits of elephants. Chu Sima, you immediately send someone to Lu Rong overnight and ask him for advice on how to break the elephant army." Lan Yuan thought in his mind. Suddenly a flash of inspiration came.

"Wei." Chu Qing cupped his fists and left.

"I'll also ask some prisoners of war to see if these elephants have any weaknesses. You go back to rest first, and order the battalions to keep vigilant at night, so as to prevent people from taking advantage of the victory to rob the camp." Lan Yuan waved his hand.

"Wei." All the generals clasped their fists together.

After Lan Yuan ordered all the generals, he walked out of the main tent with Gao Shun, and the two went straight to the prisoner-of-war camp.

At noon the next day, Linyi's army slowly marched northward, and 'caught up' to Jiaozhou's Southern Expeditionary Army in the wilderness twenty miles south of the Hoi An River, and Ou Jin finally met his real opponent.

Seeing the banners and flags of the Han army unfurling, and the bright armor shining in the sun, Lan Yuan ordered the soldiers to form a fish-scale formation under Gao Shun's suggestion. When in formation, let the soldiers have enough distance to retreat, so that they will not collide with each other because of panic.

Seeing the large number of Han troops, Qu Jin did not rush to let the war elephants charge into battle. After all, it would be a matter of time before the Han Dynasty came to prosecute the division.

Seeing that Lan Yuan was eager to try, Sha Moke reminded in a low voice: "Young General, beware of fraud, why don't I go for you?"

Lan Yuan stretched out his hand to stop, and said seriously: "We represent the kingdom of heaven, how can we be underestimated by this small barbarian country? Just relax, I will meet them alone."

"Still." Sha Moke was worried about the other party's drive, and when he was about to continue persuading, Gao Shun next to him gave him a sharp look, so he moved back and had to stop talking.

The guards in front of the formation immediately gave way to a passage, and Lan Yuan in golden armor straddled the steed and held his halberd. You can’t get a strong general, so you can only use wild animals as a supplement, don’t forget Bo Yang’s martial arts, if he claims to be the second in Jiaozhou now, who can compete for the first?”

"Father is right. The major general was able to fight back and forth with the third general two years ago. May I ask who has such ability?" Gao Ling also echoed from the side.

"Uh, I confused the major general with the master." Shamoke scratched his head, and Lan Yuan sat in the middle army and gave orders, so he had no chance to show his bravery.

Gao Shunshu had to say to himself: "Maybe Zhongling can compete with Boyang, but as a younger brother, Zhongling will definitely not compete with his elder brother."

"Father, no matter how powerful Zhong Ling is, he is still compared to the generals of Jingzhou. We are talking about the generals of Jiaozhou now. Besides, Zhong Ling has not been allowed to fight by Mr. Gao Ling." Gao Ling joked with a smile.

Gao Shun frowned and replied: "The Huben Martial Arts Hall opened in July, and the youth camp under Zhongling and his command is the first batch of students appointed by Mr. The children in the youth camp are all descended from generals, and their physical foundation is far better than ordinary teenagers. I think it will be enough to study for a year or so, and then my father will intercede with my husband."

"Huh? Zhongling wants to bring so many people to Jiaozhou? Then my ranking will definitely drop." Gao Ling said bitterly.

Gao Ling's words made Sha Moke confused, but Gao Shun understood what his son was talking about. When the recruits of the army were selected at the grassroots level, they mainly used force duels to select them. Rank the generals of each state and county by force.

With his formidable strength, Lan Yuan easily became the first in the recruit competition, so he can become the new commander of the fallen army. Apart from his own background and Gao Shun's support, his strong force is also an important reason for his convincing.

"Practice more if you don't want to drop down. Usually, Boyang will teach you tricks. If you can't rank up, it's your own fault." Gao Shun glared at Gao Ling.

"Understood." Gao Ling answered without daring to refute, bowing his head, thinking that you can see my hard work, and some things can't be obtained without hard work.

Sha Moke was about to ask the question, when Gao Shun suddenly ordered: "Although Boyang is excellent in martial arts, he must not be taken lightly. General Sha, you will be responsible for the response later. The rest of the generals should restrain their teams and don't panic. Look at my flag order later." act."

"Wei." All the generals cupped their fists in response.

Escorted by several personal guards, Ou Jin walked to the front of the formation, but saw a young general of the Han army riding alone in the formation. His clothes, the horse under his crotch, and the long painted halberd looked like Lin Yi's soldiers. Ashamed of myself.

"Who is here? How dare you invade my Linyi." Ou Jin pointed at Lan Yuan in Chinese and scolded him.

With a cold light in Lan Yuan's eyes, he replied coldly: "I am the general of Shangbang, and I was ordered to fight against rebels. Why don't you tell me your name first?"
