Xue Rengui ordered, "Release the rockets and inform the elephant soldiers to attack."
With the order, the messengers immediately went to act.
If it was during the day, it would not be easy for Xue Rengui to use the rockets to send messages. First of all, under the illumination of the daytime sun, the fire produced when the rocket took off and exploded may not be discovered. Secondly, when the rockets exploded in the air, the sound would be immediately suppressed by the battle cries and would not be easy to hear.
Although it was not night yet, the sun had not risen. There was only a touch of white in the east. The explosion of the rockets was enough to be discovered by the elephant soldiers lying in ambush at Changbai Slope.
"Whoosh!"
The rockets rose into the air and exploded in the air.
To many soldiers who were fighting, they did not notice it at all. Because the explosion of the rockets was too weak, it was directly covered by the battle cries and no soldiers discovered it. Even many of the generals under Li Shimin did not discover it. Only the elephant soldiers lying in ambush in the distance had been staring at the sky, so they discovered it in time and rushed back to report it.
The main general of the elephant soldiers was Left Vanguard.
This time, he was going all out to attack. Therefore, when Left Vanguard received the message from the soldiers that there were rockets in the sky above Changbai Slope, he immediately gave the order to attack.
The elephant soldiers under Left Vanguard were lying in ambush on the left and right sides of the road on the east side of Changbai Slope. All the elephants were a few miles away from the battlefield. After all, they had pulled away so that they would not be discovered.
One by one, the elephants began to run.
Their huge elephant legs stomped on the ground, causing the ground to shake. This was especially true when over a thousand giant elephants were running. They spread across the entire land, and their momentum was even more majestic.
When the elephants trampled on the ground, the ground shook.
One giant elephant after another galloped, forming a vast offensive.
Because of the running of thousands of elephants, the ground shook very far. On the other side, the elephant soldiers also attacked at the same time. The mighty elephant soldiers came out and quickly headed for the Tang Army where Li Shimin was.
Now, there were actually quite a number of troops by Li Shimin's side. There were more than sixty to seventy thousand troops, and the combat strength of the army was not weak. Li Shimin even had the Black Armor Elite Cavalry, which was also the absolute elite on the battlefield.
The problem was that in front of the elephants, especially in front of a group of elephants, even if the cavalry was brave and good at fighting, it was useless.
The difference in size was too great.
Li Shimin also felt the tremors on the ground. His eyes turned cold as he said in a deep voice, "Du Qi really knows how to use his Elephant Soldiers. He's actually using the same trick again, sending Elephant Soldiers to attack the rear. Last time in Guazhou, my army was ambushed by the elephant soldiers and was defeated. Now that Du Qi is here again, it won't be so easy. "
"Pass down my order. All the troops are to press forward and kill them all."
"Both sides stand together. I don't believe that this giant elephant can break through our formation. The elephant's purpose is to charge and tear apart formations. If we all charge in, how is he going to charge in? "
"Kill!"
Li Shimin decisively gave the order.
Following the order, the army began to attack. This time, all of the soldiers charged forward. Under the mighty attack of the soldiers, they quickly entered the battlefield.
Only the Black Armor Elite Cavalry was left beside Li Shimin.
Li Shimin decisively gave the order, "Let's go to the west to avoid the elephant soldiers. These Du Qi's Elephant Soldiers are going all out in one go. After a while, they won't be able to attack anymore. "
After the order was given, Li Shimin's group quickly left and temporarily left the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.
With the help of the binoculars in his hand, Du Qi saw the attacking Tang army and also saw Li Shimin's group heading to the west. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Li Shimin seemed to be one step ahead and prevented his army from being attacked. But under such an arrangement, Li Shimin's army had already entered the battlefield, leaving only the Black Armor Elite Cavalry.
Li Shimin now had no more trump cards.
Du Qi looked at Xue Rengui and said in a deep voice, "The Tang army is already going all out. More than 100,000 soldiers are majestically filling the entire hillside. The hillside of Changbai Slope is full of Tang army. Now, you can send all the troops under your command to guard and block the enemy. "
After Xue Rengui agreed, he immediately made the arrangements.
The remaining troops under Xue Rengui's command were all sent up in a short time. Batch after batch of soldiers entered the trench and formed a resistance force. Both sides were constantly fighting on the Changbai Slope. Although Li Shimin's army was full of fighting spirit, the problem was that the attacks of Xia Xia's soldiers were even more ferocious. In terms of momentum, Xia Xia's soldiers were even stronger.
At this time, the elephant soldiers led by the left vanguard had already entered the battlefield from the rear. The giant elephants attacked and knocked away the Tang soldiers one by one. The elephant soldiers in the north kept stabbing out with their spears. The spears stabbed out and stabbed into the bodies of the Tang soldiers, killing them one by one.
Li Shimin's plan was to send all the soldiers under his command up. In this way, there would be no formation and the Tang army's formation would not be destroyed. But the problem was that the battle at the frontline was intense and there were still countless Tang soldiers at the rear.
These people were killed in a surprise attack.
As a result, they were attacked from both sides like a pincer.
At this time, the artillery bombardment stopped and the two sides started to fight hand to hand. Even though the Tang army had more soldiers, the problem was that under the pincer attack of the elephant soldiers and Xia Xia's soldiers, these Tang soldiers gradually lost their footing.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
Cheng Yaojin was also charging in the crowd. He held a Xuanhua Ax in his hand and waved it continuously.
The Xuanhua Ax was swung and chopped down, sweeping everything in its path.
Although Cheng Yaojin was brave and good at fighting, he was unable to form an offensive. He was unable to lead his soldiers to pierce Xia Xia's formation like a sharp awl and could not rush to the top of the mountain.
While Cheng Yaojin was fighting, Mordor on the top of the mountain was observing with his binoculars. When Mordor saw Cheng Yaojin charging and killing Xia Xia's soldiers, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Tang army's general is violent. I request to join the battle and kill this person. "
Du Qi looked in the direction of Mordor's hand and saw Cheng Yaojin through the binoculars. He nodded and said, "Go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Mordor immediately charged out.
Although the slope of the Changbai Slope was not steep and was quite vast, it would not affect riding a horse. However, Mordor did not ride a horse. He carried two iron hammers and quickly rushed forward.
In a short time, he had reached the front line.
"Those who block me will die!"
Mordor swung the iron hammers in his hands and smashed down. Only the sound of impact was heard. One by one, the Tang soldiers were killed. In the blink of an eye, Mordor's eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin because he was less than ten steps away from Cheng Yaojin.
"Get out of my way!"
"Don't block my way."
Mordor continued to move forward. He quickly rushed forward and arrived in front of Cheng Yaojin in the blink of an eye.
"Get down!"
Mordor growled.
He swung the iron hammers and fiercely smashed the buttocks of the horse behind Cheng Yaojin. The huge iron hammers fell and hit the horse's buttocks with a bang. Under the ferocious force, the warhorse screamed and fell to the ground.
Cheng Yaojin also fell from the horse's back. Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was a veteran general. He quickly turned over and stood up with the Xuan Hua ax. Then, he looked at Mordor's position.
It was Mordor!
Cheng Yaojin's heart froze. He knew Mordor. He was Du Qi's number one general.
His martial arts were tyrannical.
