Chapter 505 Shooting yourself in the foot

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind almost each of them, holding a short blade unique to the Huns.

Just as the person sitting on the elephant's back was about to put the flute next to their mouths, they only felt that there was a sound of breaking through the air behind them, but before they could turn back, most of them had already achieved the result of their bodies and heads being separated.

Aren't these people just the dragon who risked a great crisis to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth and his two hundred confidants?

According to Long Qi's previous arrangement, the two hundred people were in a group, and Long Qi himself participated. They were ambushing in a corner, waiting for the elephants to pass one by one. When the elephants passed by and just slowed down and changed direction, they had to climb onto the elephants desperately, and then not be discovered by the enemy, waiting for the right opportunity to kill the person on the elephant's back.

Although this plan does not seem very difficult, it is very difficult to climb up from the legs of an elephant. Moreover, it cannot alert the elephant when going up, otherwise any person who is discovered may implicate his comrades.

In this process, even those soldiers who were very agile in reaching out their hands were not sure of the fleeting opportunity. Dozens of people failed to successfully climb onto the body of the elephant, and dozens of people died tragically under the trampling of the elephant.

But even so, sixty or seventy elephants were still occupied by Long Qi and their soldiers. And they waited for the opportunity they wanted, that is, when the elephants were about to block the Huns' cavalry between the elephants and the enemy's infantry.

At this time, the elephants were still a little far away from the cavalry. According to the thoughts of those who manipulated elephants in the Mauryan Dynasty, as soon as they played the flute, the elephants began to slow down and just caught the cavalry.

However, the commander on the entire seventy elephants was directly killed on the elephant's back by Long Qi and others.

At this time, Long Qi's deputy general was leading the remaining cavalry to the opponent's infantry waiting for him. According to Long Qi, he had to reach the ground within an arrow before he could turn around and run to the periphery. Although the deputy general didn't know why, and even more so, he didn't know whether Long Qi's actions could succeed, he knew that he had to do it according to Long Qi's instructions.

The deputy general also knew that if the elephants had stopped not far away when he led the cavalry to turn, they would block the turn routes of some of his soldiers. Once that happens, the infantry opposite would be relieved to attack him boldly. Once such a situation occurs, the cavalry who can run out will not even have a number of 10,000.

But just when he ordered all the cavalry to turn their horses' heads, suddenly, the neighing sound of the elephants behind him was a little wrong. He took a break from his busy schedule and looked back. Except for the few twenty or thirty who were chasing behind his soldiers, the rest actually ran forward faster.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

The deputy general of Long Qi issued an order and was excited to retreat first. The time difference was really good. When most of the cavalry turned around and ran away, the elephants who were running forward for no reason would only rush into the infantry team of the Mauryan Dynasty. This situation was undoubtedly what they wanted to see the most.

Indeed, seventy or eighty elephants were running forward like crazy, with anger that they had never felt before in their eyes, as if they were going to destroy everything they could reach.

And isn’t it the one who caused this result Long Qi and his elite team?

After killing the person who commanded the elephant on the back of the elephant, Long Qi and others simply used their sharp blade to cut several scars on the elephant's body. Although the scar was not very deep, it could make the elephant crazy and then run wildly towards itself, and then destroy almost everything in front of it.

After doing these things, Long Qi and others had already jumped off the elephant's back. Although this way, many soldiers were injured by leaving the elephant, they were still gathering together after leaving the elephant, because according to Long Qi, he had another plan.

The original 200 people, after completing this mission, almost 1120 people were left, and many of them were injured, which was enough to show the arduousness of this mission.

"This plan has been considered successful, but these mere 100 elephants cannot cause a 100-tenth blow to these Mauryan soldiers. Shanyu and General Han Xin of the Qin Dynasty were watching us not far away. Once I got my signal, they would lead the remaining 80,000 troops to attack here. But before that, I still have an idea. If it can be realized seriously, we can capture the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty tonight!"

After hearing Long Qi's words, all the remaining soldiers were very shocked and agreed to Long Qi without any hesitation.

Then Long Qi told his plan, and then, their group quietly disappeared into the night.

This time the battle was at this time, and it was obviously another reversal. The Mauryan army, who had originally planned to see how the 20,000 Hun cavalry were attacked by both sides, suddenly realized that they were almost at the moment when they entered their attack range and turned around.

Not only that, the elephant behind them was still running forward desperately as the enemy had already begun to escape. The targets attacked on both sides were gone, but it turned into a head-on battle between the elephant and the infantry of the Mauryan Dynasty.

"What, one hundred elephants suddenly lost control and rushed into our own infantry ranks?"

What happened outside the city would be passed on to Sharishuga every short period of time. In the past few times, all the invading cavalry were chased by the elephants of the Mauryan Dynasty, and the invading cavalry were shot and killed by the archers on the archer tower. But this time, it suddenly became a very good situation and suddenly lost control and rushed into the formation of their own infantry.

Of course, Sharishuga knew that this was not a joke. He knew how powerful the elephant was. If the cavalry had some room to escape, but the infantry would be over, and there would be almost no time and space to escape.

"Quickly send the sergeants who train elephants to stop the elephants! My Mauryan Dynasty spent so much money on them every year that they had to make a difference at such a moment!"

Shari Suga said this very tough, but in this case, toughness is useless.

In fact, when the elephants just lost control, the remaining sergeants who trained elephants had already received news, but none of them could provide any constructive suggestions to solve the elephants who were driving their own sergeants.

According to them, when these hundred elephants ran into the nearby mountains and forests, the problem was naturally solved, but even their own companions knew that their statement was like farting.

One hundred elephants ran out. In fact, they were not very worried, so they dared to say these irresponsible words here, because in their hearts, if these hundred were gone, then there were still seven or eight hundred left in the camp?

But a terrifying news came when they just said this.

"General, for some reason, the gate of our barracks with elephants suddenly opened. The elephants in the camp suddenly became in chaos, and many of them had already rushed out of the camp!"

"How could this be? Go back to the camp to check!"

Suddenly, the general in charge of the Elephant Barracks, who was fooling the front line, received news that he was in a cold war, because the cavalry in the camp had been transferred out of cooperation with the elephant before, and they were already observing the hundreds of elephants out of control on the front line. There were basically no serious soldiers in the camp except for some elephants. If there was any problem with the camp at this time, almost no one could control anything.

This time, his concerns had become a reality again. Long Qi took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the camp. What they had to do was actually very simple. They opened the fences that closed the elephants and the gates of the camp, and then picked up the flutes in the hands of those who were commanding the elephants and blew them randomly for a while.

Sure enough, the elephants became very manic after hearing some unknown sounds, and began to rush around the camp one by one. Long Qi and the others observed for a while and found that at least dozens of elephants had rushed out of the gate of the camp, and had almost destroyed the gate. Then they took the people away with confidence and went to meet with their large troops.

At this time, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, who were hiding in the dark, had already discovered the chaos outside the city of Huafa City, and their hearts had already become very fast. They knew that this was Long Qi's contribution, and they also knew that this night was likely to be a moment when they made a merit they had never thought of in their lifetime and achieved an achievement they had never thought of in their lifetime. However, they could not go out rashly. According to the previous discussions of the three, they had to wait for Long Qi's signal.

When Long Qi and his men and the Hun cavalry were joined, the outside of Fahrenheit was even more chaotic, with elephants rushing around, and more elephants were about to participate.

Long Qi knew that even in this situation, the cavalry he brought out this time would not have much effect. Now they only have 15,000 numbers left. Even with the help of elephants, it would be difficult to break through the gates of Fahrenheit.

Faced with such an opportunity, Long Qi knew that Han Xin and Xiang Yu had to come. He had already tried on the brink of life and death several times and completed everything he could accomplish. His human ability would not be able to do the next thing, so he had to come over those two people who were much more powerful than him.

And on paper, even if a cavalry of 15,000 is constantly killing, there is no possibility of killing 300,000 infantry, but a cavalry of 100,000 is completely different, not to mention that they have hundreds of elephants to cooperate, right?

Long Qi weighed the pros and cons, then picked up a huge Qin crossbow, placed a special arrow on the Qin crossbow, and fired in the direction where Han Xin and Xiang Yu were.

Xiang Yu and Han Xin were already almost suffocating. They were waiting for Long Qi's moment. After seeing the signal, they immediately ordered the cavalry under their command. This time, the entire army was dispatched.

Because according to the previous order from Xiang Yu to Long Jie, if there is no possibility of breaking through Fahrenheit City, do not release such a signal, because such a signal will expose the entire strength of their troops to the eyes of the enemy.

When Xiang Yu and Han Xin led their men down the mountain, they saw an unforgettable scene. Under the city that symbolized the supreme power of the Mauryan Dynasty, it was already in chaos.

A large number of Mauryan infantry ran to nowhere, and behind them were crazy elephants. These were originally supposed to be used to protect this city, but now, they are obviously making this city, and even the dynasty go to an end.

After seeing this scene, Xiang Yu and Han Xin did not rush to attack, but were prepared to watch the good show that happened in front of them, because at this time there was no need to participate, and the elephant would help them accomplish many things they wanted to do.

Xiang Yu found Han Xin and Long Jue, because he had already seen that in this situation, when they needed to take action, the 100,000 cavalry united in one place would have a much greater effect than the 20,000 to 30,000 people.
