"Haha, although it's not enough to kill them with a single roar, this method can truly destroy Mengshe Zhao's White Elephant Corps."
Wang Chong held his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face. As he spoke, he turned to Zhao Hong.
"General Zhao, are you ready?"
"I will follow Young Master's orders."
Zhao Hong took out several arrows from his back and held them between his fingers. At almost the same time, the row of master archers behind him formed a cylindrical formation, all of them drawing arrows from their backs and nocking them on their bows.
"General Chen!"
Wang Chong turned his gaze back to Chen Guanshun and the other elite generals of the Annan Prefectural Army. His expression was frigid and brooked no rebuttal.
"Yes, Young Master!"
This time, the generals quickly chose to obey.
Wang Chong was not the kind of scion who would put on airs. Even though he had Protector-General Zhangchou Jianqiong's token, Wang Chong had never put on any airs. But after interacting with Wang Chong for some time, the generals had gradually come to understand that Wang Chong was not the kind of person who would lightly make decisions, but once he did, he would not allow any rebuttal.
In an instant, everyone's gaze was focused on the foot of the mountain.
Rumble! Smoke and dust billowed as one steel wall after another was pulled down. Wang Chong's gaze was like lightning as he scanned the area, quickly locking onto a few mountainous elephants that were walking toward him.
"Begin!"
A cold light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes as he suddenly swung his arm down. As if on some sort of signal, six or seven elite generals of the Annam Protectorate attacked at the same time.
Roar! — —
A furious roar exploded like thunder in the spring, splitting the earth and collapsing the mountains, shaking the entire battlefield. When six or seven elite generals of the Annam Protectorate gathered their energy in their dantian and roared at the several dozen elephants in the east, the power was unimaginable.
Rumble!
It was as if a storm had passed through the earth. Sand and gravel were sent flying more than ten zhang into the air. The Mengshe Zhao soldiers were so frightened that they retreated one after another. However, the most unexpected thing was yet to come.
"Ang!"
Without any signs, those gigantic elephants with terrifying strength that could easily pull a six to seven thousand jin steel wall suddenly stood up and cried out in fear, as if they had been greatly frightened.
Pang! Pang!
The bowstrings vibrated, and the moment these elephants suddenly jumped out of the protective shield, sharp arrows instantly pierced into their eyeballs. Some of the arrows had even pierced deep into the mammoths' brains.
Rumble! The earth cracked and the mountains crumbled. Under the horrified gazes of countless people, these gigantic elephants with incomparably tenacious vitality suddenly collapsed like mountains of flesh.
"Whizz!!"
Shock, endless shock!
The sight of these elephants toppling to the ground left all the Mengshe Zhao soldiers of the White Elephant Corps dumbstruck.
"This is impossible!"
At this moment, the soldiers around the elephant were filled with terror, their minds blank. In Erhai's Six Zhao, the elephants had an extremely important and transcendent status.
All the soldiers of the White Elephant Corps revered the elephants like they were gods.
Their inconceivably enormous divine power had left an indelible impression on all the Mengshe Zhao soldiers.
But no one had expected that after being covered in such thick and hard white elephant armor, these enormous elephants would still be so easily killed by a single arrow.
But death was far from the end.
For some people, not all the elephants had been shot through the head. Some elephants had used their thick eyelids to block the arrows, but this was only the beginning of the tragedy.
"Ah!"
An elephant trumpeted, and a Mengshe Zhao soldier's face was covered in fear as he watched the massive foot of an elephant grow in size and stomp down. In an instant, the soldier was crushed into a pile of meat paste.
"Ang!"
The severe wounds had caused the elephants to instantly go berserk, entering a fatal and blind berserk state. No one could imagine that an elephant weighing more than ten thousand jin in its berserk state could move so quickly and nimbly.
Bangbangbang! In the blink of an eye, several hundred soldiers of the White Elephant Corps, unable to dodge in time, were trampled into meat paste. The closer they were, the faster they died.
The soldiers that had been set up to protect the elephants had instead become the earliest victims.
"How could this be? These elephants really are afraid of noise! "
On the summit, Lin Wushu, Luoji, Chen Guanshun, and the others were incredibly excited, all of them shocked and delighted, hardly daring to believe their eyes.
"Quick! There's very little time. Seize this chance! "
A voice rang out in their ears, its tone incomparably calm.
Everything was just as he had expected. Although the giant elephant was huge, its tolerance for loud noises was exactly the same as an elephant's. But although the tactics were effective, Wang Chong was not the slightest bit perturbed.
As a general, one should always maintain a calm and rational heart, never to be moved by the outside world. Only by maintaining calm could one make the wisest choice at the crucial moment.
"Roar! — "
The world swayed and the winds howled. This time, without needing Wang Chong's orders, Chen Guanshun and the others quickly made their decision. Six or seven of the best generals of the Annam Protectorate gathered their energy into a massive beam that enveloped a group of elephants to the southwest.
"Ang!"
The elephants bellowed. Half of them collapsed, while the other half once more went berserk. If these elephants still had their eyes, they would definitely accept the orders of the White Elephant Corps soldiers.
But under the intense pain, their eyes couldn't see anything. All the elephants subconsciously treated the humans closest to them as enemies to vent their anger on. When a Xuan realm elephant went berserk, and this elephant was even equipped with heavy elephant armor, that kind of terrifying power was hard to imagine.
"Ah!"
"Ah!!"
"Ah!!" "Ah!!"
Shrill screams echoed across the entire battlefield. When the mountain-sized elephants went berserk in the dense battlefield, the soldiers were like wheat in the fields, falling down in large groups. Blood and flesh were squeezed out from under their armors like mud, while the armors were flattened like cans that had been squeezed out of a can.
The entire battlefield instantly turned into an Asura hell.
"Quick! Stop them! "
The faces of the soldiers were filled with terror. Some of them tried to band together and attack the charging elephants in a frenzy. But the spears and spears were like scratching an itch.
Stabbing the elephant's body with his saber was like scratching an itch through his boot. Not only did he fail to stab the elephant to death, but he was also sent flying by the rebounding force of the attack.
"Ang!"
The trumpeting of the giant elephants rose and fell one after another. The entire battlefield was in chaos.
On the summit, Wang Chong, the top generals of the Annam Protectorate, and the master archers led by Zhao Hong were constantly adjusting their direction, seizing the opportunity to quickly attack.
"Southeast!"
"Southwest!"
"Quick!"
"There's not much time. While they're in chaos, this is the best opportunity!"
… …
In a short period of time, Wang Chong and the others had fired at least a dozen volleys of arrows, not pausing at all in between. They were extremely efficient. The advantage of Wang Chong's choice of a mountain range for the decisive battle was now fully revealed.
Because of the obstruction of the towering mountains, their vision was limited, and they simply couldn't see what was happening on the other side. Many of the White Elephant Corps soldiers could only hear the screams and the angry trumpeting of the elephants. Before they could react, they had already been hit.
The same strategy, the same method of attack, but it didn't work.
"Ang!"
The entire earth trembled. East, West, North, South, Southwest, Northwest … The trembling sounds of mountains collapsing could be heard. Every tremble meant that an elephant had been struck by an arrow and fallen to the ground.
In a short period of time, at least two hundred elephants had fallen!
Animals were animals, after all. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't compare to humans. As long as one could find their weakness, even a giant beast like the Giant Elephant, which weighed more than ten thousand kilograms and had the strength to lift a mountain, could be easily killed.
"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! "
On the back of the elephant, Duan Yangyan was both shocked and enraged, his entire body dumbfounded. The Tang people had watched helplessly as he tore down their outermost steel walls, and now the rain of arrows had caused the army to lose two-hundred-some elephants. This change was far too great.
"Hurry!"
Duan Yangyan shouted these last words with almost all his strength.
Even more shocked than Duan Yangyan were the assembled group of Mengshe Zhao generals, Gelofeng, Fengjiayi, Duan Gequan, and Duan Gequan. When the elephants fell to the ground with a mournful wail, everyone was dumbfounded.
The surroundings were deathly still, the atmosphere suffocating.
"Hurry and tell General Duan to retreat!"
The first to break the silence was Crown Prince Fengjiayi. It had not been easy to build the White Elephant Corps. These thousand-some elephants had taken a great deal of Mengshe Zhao's energy and resources. Just capturing them was difficult enough, let alone decades of training.
If Wang Chong were allowed to continue shooting, the entire White Elephant Corps would exist only in name, destroyed in a single day.
"Roar! — — "
At this moment, a heaven-shaking roar came from the southeast, interrupting the shouts of Chen Guanshun and Lin Wushou.
At almost the same time, two other heaven-shaking roars, like those of prehistoric beasts, came from the mountain and collided with the roar from the southeast.
Huoshu Huizang, Wang Yan, and Xianyu Zhongtong had finally taken action.
On the battlefield, the elephants were restless, but with the intervention of Huoshu Huizang, Wang Yan, and Xianyu Zhongtong, the situation immediately improved.
"Okay, let's stop with this wave for now!"
On the summit, Wang Chong waved his hand as he watched the panicked retreat of the White Elephant Corps, ending this wave of attacks. The farther away a sound wave attack was, the less effective it would be.
Moreover, the crux of this kind of attack was the element of surprise. If they were prepared, everything would be completely different. And the effect would be greatly reduced.
"Mm?"
After saying this, Wang Chong's ears fell silent, as if there was no one behind him. Wang Chong froze and turned his head in astonishment. He immediately saw that everyone was staring at him in a daze. Chen Guanshun, Lin Wushou, Luoji, and even Chen Shusun.
"What's wrong?"
