Löydetty 4 Tulokset: Elephant
These animals were distributed among the phalanxes, to each elephant being allocated a thousand men dressed in coats of mail with bronze helmets on their heads; five hundred picked horsemen were also assigned to each beast. (1 Maccabees 6, 35)
The horsemen anticipated every move their elephant made; wherever it went they went with it, never quitting it. (1 Maccabees 6, 36)
On each elephant, to protect it, was a stout wooden tower, kept in position by girths, each with its three combatants, as well as its mahout. (1 Maccabees 6, 37)
he darted in under the elephant, thrust at it from underneath, and killed it. The beast collapsed on top of him, and he died on the spot. (1 Maccabees 6, 46)
