Nah, Hannibal brought those elephants for the lols.

yes but normally as a improvisation rather than a plan, animals handy to the battlefield being used, not the animals being brought along to a battle or a battlefield being selected specifically for the use of animals

I could have sworn that the Kievan Rus once used a deliberate cattle stampede to break a siege, but I'll be damned if I can find a source.

Stampede is when a herd is spooked and tries to flee. A tame mounted elephant would be pretty fucking useless if it fled in battle.

Yes but not often. Also a cavalry charge is basically a controlled stampede.

Also Song China in one siege funnily upped the ante by tying bombs & incendiaries to cattle.
