Chapter 71 The Sultan of Delhi’s army of elephant soldiers? (Please give me monthly votes and readers)
However, the last group of people went to a city far away, so it was normal for them to come back later.

Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong didn't pay too much attention and began to distribute the spoils.Give various rewards to these returning soldiers.

Of course, those captains and centurions could not forget the benefits, and even some slaves who followed Khwarezm received some rewards.

Then Wokuotai ordered the entire army to eat food that was easily expired and spoiled as soon as possible, and to preserve some live livestock and food that was easy to carry and could be stored for a long time.

Then they waited quietly for the return of the other team. This wait lasted for three days, until the early morning of the third day.

Only three or four defeated soldiers ran back. These defeated soldiers were covered in stains, their faces were covered with blood, and two of them even had several bows and arrows stuck in their bodies.

"What's going on? Where are the rest of you?" After receiving the news, Wo Kuotai rushed over immediately, looked at the broken soldiers on the ground, and asked.

"Lord Wokuotai, we, our whole army has been wiped out. The commander and all the centurions are dead. Only a few of us escaped." A defeated soldier covered his wound and looked at Wokuo Tai spoke.

"What? Your entire army was wiped out. Didn't I tell you not to launch a siege?
If the enemy doesn't give you money or food, you can just come back. What's going on?If it's a field battle, even if there are ten thousand infantry, they shouldn't be your opponents, right? "Wo Kuotai asked angrily.

Before that, he and Zhang Yong had discussed a detailed battle plan, which should basically be foolproof. Even the largest city here couldn't pull out a decent cavalry.

If the infantry goes out of the city and the cavalry fights in the field, even if the enemy is ten times larger, a thousand-man Mongolian cavalry can annihilate them all.

This is the gap between cavalry and infantry, not to mention that they are still Mongolian cavalry, and all of them are horse archers. Even if they fly kites in a war of attrition, they will not lose so miserably, and the entire army will be wiped out.

This is the worst news that Ogodei has received since the western expedition to the Delhi Sultanate.

"Master Wokuotai, our operation was actually very smooth. We did not launch a siege. After we arrived in that city, the city lord obediently paid us and did not conflict with us. We pulled him Something happened on the way back to the loot.

We met the army of the Delhi Sultanate that came to attack us. They drove a giant monster with two huge ears and a long nose, which was bigger than four or five horses. Our horses were severely frightened. , and then he was defeated. "A defeated soldier knelt on the ground and said.

In fact, more people could have escaped and even retreated safely.

As a result, the horses were severely frightened. Coupled with the enemy's bow and arrow shooting, the roar of the huge monster, and the almost terrifying impact, they were completely annihilated.

"What kind of monster did you encounter? Tell me clearly." Wo Kuotai asked.

Monsters, the men on the grasslands have never been afraid of any monsters!They had never seen any jackals, tigers or leopards anywhere.

"Those monsters are very huge, with two big ears, a long nose, so long that it can wrap up a whole horse, and can crush a person with one foot. There are also two long noses in its mouth. They have huge fangs and are covered with golden heavy armor. Our bows, arrows and sabers did not cause any harm to them.

This monster also made a terrifying roar, which frightened our horses and did not obey the command at all, which led to our defeat. "The defeated soldiers said.

"Are you talking about elephants? They are the elephant soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate." Zhang Yong came over and said.

"Elephant troops? Elephants! Master Military Advisor, they are the kind of elephants you mentioned, but they are different from the ones we saw in the river before. These ones are larger, and have tusks in their mouths, and they are also covered with Wearing golden heavy armor." The defeated soldier said to Zhang Yong.

When they just crossed the Shen River, they also encountered a monster with a long nose and two big ears in the grass.Many Mongolian soldiers were frightened at that time because they had never seen anything so huge.

Finally, military counselor Zhang Yong said that this is an elephant. Like a horse, it is a grass-eating animal and will not actively attack people. As long as everyone does not provoke it, it will be fine.

But the elephant commanded by the army they saw a few days ago was much larger than the one they saw in the river before.

"The one we saw was considered a minor, just a baby elephant. What you encountered should be a real adult elephant.

The ones with two huge tusks are from the male elephant, the female elephant and the calf. The ones that don’t have tusks are the trophies we got in the past few days. The huge teeth decorated with jewelry are the teeth of the male elephant. "Zhang Yong said.

That's right. We have been making trouble in your land for more than a month, attacking cities and territories. If you, the Sultan, don't show some expression, it will be unjustifiable.

Finally some decent troops were sent over.

But this time it’s a blast!
The elephant soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate are considered ace.

If an elephant appears head-on on the battlefield, it will form a huge deterrent to the cavalry.

It would be fine if the horse had seen an elephant before, but if not, it would be a huge fright, just like when the horse was scared to death by his own car when he just crossed over.

The defeat of these Mongolian soldiers was not unjust at all.

"Let me ask you, how many people did they come in total? How many soldiers and horses were there? How many of the monsters you mentioned?" Zhang Yong asked.

Escape without fighting is definitely not their style nor the style of the Mongolian army, so a fight is necessary, and then you must know some specific information about the enemy.

"Did you hear that? Tell me quickly, how many troops did you encounter, and how many of those monsters were there? Did they defeat you? You must bring me some information about the enemy, right?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"Master Wo Kuotai, Master Military Advisor, they have five to sixty thousand infantry, about 6 cavalry, and as for those giant monsters, there are probably more than 1 of them! In addition, they are also equipped with A large number of archers and spearmen." said the defeated soldiers.

"I understand. You should go down and rest first. Recuperate well and let the military doctor take a look at you." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

After hearing this, a group of defeated soldiers saluted Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong, and then returned to the camp to heal their wounds.

After a group of soldiers broke up and left, Wo Kuotai looked at Zhang Yong and asked. :
"Master Military Advisor, what do you think we should do? Should we fight or not?"

"Of course I have to fight! I just happened to catch a few elephants and bring them back to the Khan." Zhang Yong said with a smile.
