Chapter 817:The Elephant's Long Nose

The strength of the force is large enough to offset the land of the city, the Chu army's strength is almost ten times that of the Western army, in the three walls at the same time launched an onslaught, the city's defenders immediately feel the left and right, the pressure is huge, after two days of vicious fighting, struggling to retreat the Chu army after many attacks, the city's defenders gradually exhausted, finally by the Chu army on the city, and then standing firm, opened the breakthrough.

The city was both broken and surrounded by three, leaving a way to escape, and the Western army in the city gave up its resistance, escaped from the south gate, and was chased by the Chu army, and stopped in front of Guansuoling.

Guansorling is a mountain, the north of the mountain is Yilongbao, the mountain castle is connected to the blockade "into the east of Dian Road", the terrain here is very dangerous, the ancient road from the valley of Guansorling through, and by the Yilong Fort blocked the road, although the Chu army has a hundred thousand troops, but can only send thousands of people into the valley, the Yilong Fort launched an attack, the back of the large force is the audience.

Yilongbao is not too big, can only accommodate more than two thousand defenders, but this small town-like fortress built on the mountain, completely covered the rear of the ancient road, Qi Sansheng can be sent to Yilongbao reinforcements at any time, Zhou Guodong and Liu Junjun to find out the nearby terrain, are very difficult, Yilongbao in front of the force can be expanded limited, it is difficult to break it all at once, if like the currant slowly and it consumes it, it can be used at any time, Yilong Fort can be used at any time, but it can be used at any time.Without a head.

In fact, a month later, Wang Kefan saw the detailed war report of Yilongbao, and blurted out at that time, saying a word that no one could understand.

“It’s like Stalingrad!”

In the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II, the Germans initially had a clear advantage, but the commander, General Paulus, made a serious mistake, not concentrating his forces to cut off the supply lines of the Volga, so that the Soviet army in Stalingrad could be supported by a steady stream, and was unable to completely eliminate it, and finally lost the whole battle and lost the whole war (the German army lost the Battle of Stalingrad, of course, the reason is not so simple, but please focus and understand what the terrain advantage of Elrondburg is).

This battle is not good to fight.

If you put aside Yilong Fort, first of all, this steep mountain is not good to fight, secondly, the use of this mountain is not very useful, into the east of the road must pass through Yilongbao, Chu army occupied Guansuoling, back or to play Yilong Fort, at most do not worry about the safety of the flanks, each attack, you can invest one or two thousand people in the force.

Zhou Guodong and Liu Jun repeatedly discussed, can not think of a better way, is in the process of no development, leading the way party to build a strange work.

“At the end of the day, you will know a path that will bypass Guansor Ridge.”

Zhou Wuding picked up the pen and paper and drew a simple map: "This path is very secret, and the end will be inadvertently known, although the road is difficult to walk, but not too far away, if you walk on foot, you can go around the back of Yilongbao in two days..."

That night, Liu Junjun led thousands of elites, with Zhou Wu as the pioneer, into a remote mountain path.

Two days later, Liu appeared in the back of Yilongbao, forcibly cut off the ancient road, and divided Yilongbao from the rear.

Before this, Zhou Guodong launched an onslaught on Yilongbao, Yilongbao only two thousand defenders, killing one less, as long as Liu Junjun can block the three-liter reinforcements, Zhou Guodong side can certainly pull off the nails of Yilongbao, and now the fight is to see who can get the first hand.

Yunnan is vast, the road is difficult, the western army from remote areas is still in the land to Kunming, this time is the front line and Kunming two run, Liu body pure cut off the ancient road, he is in the rabbit gate, heard Chu Jun around the back of Yilongbao came, immediately aware of the threat, rushed to mobilize the troops, the momentum to kill Liu Jun.

Because to transfer troops from Kunming, Qi Sansheng's movement was slow, when he arrived near Yilongbao, Yilongbao and Guansorling urgent call for help signal has been very urgent, according to fireworks summons, only in the past day more than a day, Yilongbao's defenders have been hundreds of casualties, if not no way to escape, may have collapsed, although still struggling to resist, I am afraid it will not last long.

Attack immediately and get rid of the Iron Fort!

Qian Sansheng commanded the army and launched an onslaught against Liu Junjun.

Guiyang Tuyun Guan before the nightmare, staged again, Liu Jun pure after taking the path to copy the enemy, know that there will be a vicious battle, the most elite three thousand musketeers brought, Qi three liters of thousands of soldiers were successive platoons of fire, just a quarter of an hour, the casualties of thousands of people.

“Soldier, give it to me!”

Qian Sansheng played the final card, sent more than 30 elephant soldiers, launched a second wave of attack, including Qi Sansheng himself, the Western army has been afraid of Chu's musketeers, continue to attack is difficult to work, they put all their hopes on the elephant soldiers, hope that these skin-thick behemoths can disperse the formation of Chu arms and gunmen.

“rush!”

There are many flaws in the single army, only by the elephant soldiers charge is not safe, Qi Sansheng personally led hundreds of cavalry, as well as two thousand armored soldiers and archers, followed by the elephant soldiers together, these elephants are equipped with huge baskets, can load three or four elephant soldiers, they hold fire and bows and arrows in their hands, attack the enemy close to the elephant, the elephant took a heavy step, slowly towards the opposite of the Chu arms gunner, thirty.

There is no zoo in this era, including Liu Junjun, the vast majority of Chu soldiers are the first time to see the elephant, Sun is expected to take some elephant soldiers to Hunan, but the number is too small, the Western army soldiers have been hidden in the shogun mountain training, and finally missed the elephant, suddenly saw these far higher than other animals of the beast, never like the mountain gun soldiers also appeared riots.

Is this an elephant?It’s a few thousand pounds, isn’t it?”

“Maybe 10,000 pounds!”

“Can a gun kill him?”

"There are people on the back of the elephants, hit people first, as long as the people are killed, these elephants are some big animals, there is nothing to fear."

“What a long nose...”

Seeing the elephant's heavy body, many muskets feel that the gun in their hands is like a toy, the small lead bullet must not kill such a big beast, some of the brain is fast, it is recommended to first hit the elephant soldier on the back, the commander of the musketeer Wang Yi hesitated, decided to try this method.

“Shoot!”

The gun set fire, aimed at the front row of a few elephants on the back of the basket, after the gunshot, the elephants suddenly issued an angry roar, like a moving hill to Chu soldiers rushed over, compared with the elephant, the Western army in the basket of the target is too small, the front also put two thick shields, the effect of this shot is not good, did not hit a few people, but angered those elephants.

The elephant ran up, the speed is not slow, the eyes see these behemoths approaching quickly, there is a riot in the ranks of the Chu arms and gunmen, some soldiers subconsciously want to escape, some soldiers touch the bayonet to the barrel, the arm is generally ready to fight with the elephant, at this time, the two elephants in front suddenly roared, fell to the ground, the huge elephant head, some small bullet holes are bleeding.

“Easy!The gun can kill it!”

Chu soldiers issued a cheer, just now they shot on the elephant's back basket, but the accuracy of the gun is limited, the elephant also hit a lot of bullets, run out not far to stick to, fell to the ground, issued a dying sad hist.

“Stupid!The gun can even be broken through the iron armor, and you can't kill these animals!"

Wang Yi wiped a cold sweat on his forehead, very afterwards scolded in the spirit of the cursive, I do not know whether to scold himself, or scold the officers who gave him a mess of ideas, the other officers also reacted, together commanding the musketeers, the remaining elephants to shoot, the huge body want to take a bias is difficult, continuous gunfire, an elephant was knocked down, much faster than just now.

“The skin is thick.”

Liu Junjun can see clearly in the telescope, these elephants shot, the wound will not splash blood, much stronger than the human body, but Chu Jun's firepower is too dense, each elephant instantly hit dozens of guns hundreds of guns, almost was hit into a sieve, and finally fell in the pool of blood.

In contrast, those who followed the elephant soldiers behind the Western army is very fragile, even if only one shot, it will fall to the ground in an instant, after a few rows of elephants were knocked down in front, the three liters of the golden armament and white horse became the target of Chu arms and gunmen, even people with several guns, the strong white horse jumped up, the injured three liters down, and then suddenly fell down, smashed him hard.

“Tsing Chen is dead!”

Chu Jun's death, regardless of the death of Qi Sansheng, the whole mouth is shouting that he is dead, the Western army's heart is in turmoil, together turn back to the defeat, several relatives snatched up the three-liter, put him on the back of the horse, followed the rout to the rabbit.

"Don't chase, it's the most important thing to block the back road of Yilongbao!"

Liu Junjun's men, in addition to three thousand musketeers, as well as Zhou Wuding's thousands of light A soldiers, followed by the Western Army after a while, saw the enemy fled, saw good, and returned to clean the battlefield, set up a village.

“I’ve got some meat tonight.”Although Wang Yi is already the division of the musketeer, in fact, he is not very old, and he came curiously to a dead elephant and stabbed him with a knife: "This guy is so big, the meat must be hard and old, not delicious."

"It's not good to eat more, it's a rare opportunity."Liu Junjun smiled and said, "I will eat roasted elephants tonight, let the brothers taste fresh, and after returning home, you can blow a lifetime in front of your wife and children."
