The war elephant under their crotches was also shot directly through the abdomen by a huge crossbow arrow, rushed out to the side, and then fell to the ground.
The reduced tension brought by the pulley set allows two strong soldiers to easily wind the string. This allows them to have a string opening speed no less than that of a bow and arrow in a short period of time. Can you imagine a medium-sized, large-power crossbow with ordinary Is it the power of a recurve bow that fires arrows at such a high speed? !
The terrifying crossbow arrows are like modern anti-material sniper rifles hitting the human body!
The terrifying crossbow arrows opened holes as thick as wrists in these elephants, and the remaining distance of less than 200 meters was like a chasm of death! Except for a few elephants who were frightened and turned around and ran to the rear, killing many Linyi soldiers who were following behind, the other elephants fell directly here.
And an unlucky Linyi soldier was directly shot in the neck by the main crossbow arrow of the bed crossbow. The huge impact and damage caused by the cavity effect caused his neck to be shot directly by the crossbow arrow!
Some soldiers who were shot between the chest and abdomen had slightly better luck. The triangular armor-piercing steel arrow penetrated his body directly under the huge impact of the crossbow, leaving only a fist-sized hole on his body. The hole would not cause him to die immediately, and there would still be time for his brain to combine with the organs in his body to leave a final signal to the world.
As for the soldiers holding wooden shields in their hands, the shields in their hands could not provide them with any protection. Not only that, after shooting through the wooden shields, the huge impact of the crossbow arrows caused the wooden spikes that exploded on the shields to directly hit them. They disguised themselves as hedgehogs.
One thousand war elephants plus two thousand elephant soldiers, and two thousand infantrymen who accompanied the attack, completely collapsed after two hundred crossbows fired four rounds of arrows.
The bright red blood dyed the earth brown, and the strong smell of blood and the last wailing of the tenacious elephants stimulated everyone's nerves.
"Blow the charge!" Liu Yilong glanced at the thousand archers behind him. It seemed that they had no chance to play. The killing range of the arrows was within a hundred meters, and the enemy had no chance to rush into the hundred meters. It collapsed within the range. You must know that the arrows on these archers' arrows are also iron three-edged armor-piercing arrows.
"Dudududu..." The passionate trumpet sound echoed across the battlefield.
The soldier in the front row simply threw away his shield, stood up, held his spear and roared: "Kill!"
The shouts of killing soared into the sky, followed by the silver waves wearing armor rushing down.
"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender quickly!" Fan Fenzhi near Xianglin City was stunned. He was far away from the battlefield. He didn't know what was happening, but he could only see it from a distance. Lin Yiguo didn't know what he had accumulated. The thousand elephant soldiers who had been saved for many years fell down like cutting rice, and the remaining elephants went crazy and rushed towards their own camp.
The infantry following behind had fled!
Seeing that the situation was over, Fan Fenzhi had no other thoughts in his mind at the moment. He only knew that he could still survive if he surrendered! Because he knew that Jieli Khan, who had invaded the Tang Dynasty several times and even fought near Chang'an, was not killed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was even made king.
As long as he surrenders, he can still survive!
Liu Yilong was very disappointed because he didn't have time to cut anyone and they all surrendered. When they blew the charge horn and rushed down, Lin Yiguo's soldiers had no desire to fight at all. They either ran away wildly, or when they caught up, they dropped their weapons without saying a word and knelt down to surrender.
They are an army of the common people, and these soldiers are all from the common people, so His Highness has said that the Tang army will not massacre prisoners.
Anyone who surrenders will not be killed.
So Liu Yilong didn't kill anyone. Not only that, when they rushed in front of the enemy army, the king of Linyi had already knelt there and surrendered. The soldiers around him threw their weapons to the ground, and no one resisted.
…
Shi Lang stood on the guard tower and watched the war with his mouth agape and his blood boiling. Is this their army of the Tang Dynasty? !
This is too strong! One thousand battle elephants, two thousand elephant soldiers, and two thousand infantrymen did not even see the battle formations of the Tang Dynasty! It just collapsed! The subsequent counterattack by the Tang Army made these soldiers kneel on the ground.
Looking at the combat effectiveness of those Tang troops, Shi Lang was a little lucky. If they had attacked the city where these soldiers were stationed, not to mention that the opponent had more people than them, but that the opponent had only one or two hundred people. It was estimated that they had more than fifteen hundred people. It's impossible to defeat them at all.
"Quick! Raise the flag!" Seeing that the Lin Yi soldiers below had surrendered, Shi Lang immediately ordered the people around him to speak.
"Yes!" A soldier next to Shi Lang immediately rushed to the flagpole they had prepared and raised the Tang flag that had been prepared long ago.
Li Ke quickly saw their movements. Although they were quite far apart, the flag of the Tang Dynasty was still very conspicuous.
Seeing this scene, Li Ke shook his head. These rebels were quite smart.
"Let's go see Fan Fenzhi." Li Ke stood up from the chair he was sitting on.
"Your Highness, why don't you wait a moment? The bodies below haven't been cleaned yet." Huo Gang hesitated and said.
"Let's go, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dare to kill the enemy. As the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, don't I even dare to look at the corpse of an enemy?" Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Ke crossed the entire battlefield. When he reached the front line of the battlefield, no one was moving here. Only a few elephants who were in a state of death were still making faint whine from their mouths.
Li Ke looked at it silently, and Huo Gang and the others just stayed by the side quietly. No one disturbed His Highness until the elephant's eyes slowly closed and it stopped breathing. The blood flowing out of its body had already stopped. The surrounding ground was completely dyed red, and some blood even formed pools of blood.
The thick hole in its body was made by the murder weapon produced by Li Ke. Huo Gang secretly glanced at His Highness. He didn't know what His Highness was thinking, at least he couldn't see any emotion on His Highness's face.
Li Ke's feet stepped over corpses one after another, or passed by these corpses. He had been traveling through the Tang Dynasty for ten years. He had seen dead people, but this was the first time he faced a real battlefield, and It's not a large-scale battlefield yet.
The strong smell of blood filled the nostrils. Some of the crossbow arrows penetrated several people and finally pierced a soldier. The entire arrow shaft was covered with flesh and blood, and there were even some pieces of meat hanging on the broken arrow shaft.
Li Ke just walked across the entire battlefield and walked to Fan Fenzhi who was kneeling there.
