Chapter 153: Flying Cowhide
When the elders heard this, they were excited, and Leng Yan also smiled and nodded, among the twelve elders below, only the eldest elder Xi Bing, the eighth elder Xi Yan and the youngest elder Xi Candle were mature and stable.
Elder Bing said, "The primeval forest is sinister, but it also provides us with countless foreign beasts that can be domesticated, and the Gu Eagle we borrowed from the Blood Dynasty before is one of them. Elder Candle has already organized the domesticated alien beasts into a team, and together with the war, these are one of our strange soldiers. ”
The elders looked at Xi Candle, although this person was the youngest, he was calm and capable, and he smiled silently.
"Bingzhou is indeed the most troublesome level, the city wall is 100 feet high, and it is covered with arrow towers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xi Bing said this, deliberately pausing.
"It's simple, let's go to the base of the wall and put a fire on it, and burn it down. Seventh Elder Xi Ju said.
"The best thing to do, naturally, is to smash the bottom and make it collapse. But between the wall and us is separated by thousands of cows roaring in the primeval forest, there are many monsters, mysterious, we have been here for more than 20 years, and the forest we have set foot in is not half of it, if you rush in, I am afraid that you will be bitten all over the body before you get close to the root of the wall. The third elder Xi Feng waved his hand again and again, thinking that it was not feasible.
Elder Torch said, "What then? ”
"What Elder Feng said is right, what Elder Ju said is also right, we really shouldn't rush into the primeval forest, not only are there countless demon beasts, but the terrain is even more complicated, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, so the best way to deal with this high wall is to fly over. With a deep smile on his face, Elder Bing looked at the other elders who were stunned, and continued, "Peel off the skin of a cow completely, tie it tightly, hang the hanging basket, make a round hole in the abdomen, use your fists to light a fire in the round hole, and the heat can be driven by the upsurge of heat, and the leather feet of a cow can fly over that wall with three strong men, and we have named it the Flying Cowhide." Elder Yan's treasury already has tens of thousands of cowhides prepared, enough for our entire clan to use. ”
Elder Rong danced excitedly, and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"
"Wait for the wind. Elder Bing said calmly, "The only power of the Flying Cowhide is the wind, and the Bingzhou is in our northwest, and it can only be advanced when the southeast wind blows, and in addition, it takes time to prepare the materials and make the soldiers proficient." ”
"When will there be wind?" Elder Rong asked anxiously.
"Three days later, so I'm going to start preparing tomorrow. Elder Bing said, all the elders were excited and eager to try, the round platform was full of people, Elder Bing turned his gaze to Leng Yan, the latter nodded, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The audience was silent for a moment, and Leng Yan said: "Elders, since the battle with Chixian Shenzhou, our clan has been living in this corner, living in peace, the old patriarch can't be relieved, depressed, and has been unconscious. Since I became the patriarch, I have never dared to forget my mission, and after meeting with the Blood King twenty years ago and making a plan to fight back, I have been thinking about ways to break the siege of Bingzhou, and let Elder Bing, Elder Yan and Elder Candle prepare secretly. The reason why I didn't inform the elders and the Yanshang clan was because I was afraid that everyone would take revenge and attack in advance, although there were 20,000 people in my Yanshang clan, but the collision with the million-strong army of Duanguo still seemed to hit a stone with an egg, and there was no chance of victory. Now that the time is ripe, all ethnic groups will issue a unified order to attack at the same time, and the king of Duan will be difficult to take care of, and he will definitely be defeated. Time is running out, and I hope that all the elders can uphold the will of their ancestors and complete the great cause of our people's recovery. ”
The twelve elders Huo Ran stood up and said indignantly: "I will obey the orders of the leader, and I will not give up when I go to the soup." ”
"Good. Leng Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Then please go and prepare, tomorrow Elder Yan will distribute cowhides to each village and teach everyone how to manipulate it." ”
"Yes!" the elders said in unison, and the fish rushed out. After everyone else had left the round platform, Elder Bing, who was walking last, turned around and asked, "Chief, I see that your eagle eyebrows are frowning, and you seem to have something on your mind, I wonder if you can share your worries below?"
Leng Yan motioned for Elder Bing to sit down, and sighed: "In order to strictly guard against our clan, King Duan has stationed 100,000 Fu soldiers in Bingzhou, with strong bows and arrows, and there is no shortage of people who are good at shooting, even if we cross the high wall, it is not easy to land, and the clansmen who can land safely are also facing a bloody battle with many enemies and outnumbered enemies, and the casualties are immeasurable, how can I give orders with peace of mind and be indifferent to the sacrifice of the clansmen." ”
"Having this leader is really a blessing for my Yan Shang clan. Elder Bing stood up and saluted, then waved his hand to let the guards exit the round platform, and then said softly, "There is a plan for the future, but you can do your best to protect our clan." ”
"Oh, come on. Leng Yan's eyes flashed, he had always relied on the Great Elder very much, and he would definitely not let himself down.
"In the primeval forest, I found many ancient beasts, many of which were plague-bearing monsters, and they have been imprisoned in the cellar. If you send monsters into the city before the attack, so that Bingzhou is full of plagues, not only can the defenders be self-defeating, I am afraid that it will be easy to destroy the entire Bingzhou. And our clan can take precautions in advance, which can ensure that the plague does not invade and is safe. Although this plan is good, it is against the way of heaven, and at that time, the lives in Bingzhou City will be devastated, and wailing will be everywhere, and I am afraid that we will also be punished by heaven. ”
Leng Yan fell silent after hearing this, and hesitated in his heart, lit the maku and inhaled one after another, and the green smoke rolled in the round platform, like purgatory. After pondering for a long time, Leng Yan angrily took the case: "The earth dog has no virtue, and it is a pity to die, so according to this plan, if there is a curse, I will receive it." ”
"Yes, I am willing to fall into the hell with the leader!" "Elder Bing Huo Ran got up and said with a solemn expression, "We can set the flying cowhide into three echelons, the first echelon is two hundred, the hanging basket is loaded with plague beasts, flying over the wall will inevitably be discovered by the Fu soldiers, ten thousand arrows are shot angrily, the cowhide is broken and falls, the more angry and frightened the plague beast is, the heavier the plague aura it emits, and it can extinguish their momentum in one fell swoop." In addition, an additional 200 dead soldiers were dispatched to manipulate the cowhide, and at the same time throw fire downwards to attract the attention of the Fu soldiers, and they could burn the flying cowhide in time, so as to prevent the epidemic beast from falling into other states and causing more killing. ”
Leng Yan nodded and said, "Well, that's very good." ”
"The second echelon, for the main force of 3,000, each basket is loaded with a warrior and a strange beast, and we can wait for work with the strength of ten thousand jun to level the military state. The leaders and elders are the third echelon, and at this time, the Bingzhou may have become an empty city, and we can go straight to the Zhenzhou and join the Blood King. ”
Leng Yan is not a person who likes to kill, but the matter has come to this point, and the woman's kindness may only destroy the whole clan. He was going to move into the nest, but after much persuasion by Elder Bing, he finally agreed to let Elder Chan and Elder Shuo lead some of their clansmen, old and young women, and children to stay here, in case the hard-built family business was lost. Although Elder Shuo was a little cowardly and suspicious, he was thoughtful, and Elder Chan was upright, strict in law enforcement, and proficient in pharmacology, so it was most suitable for the two of them to stay here.
After Elder Bing left, Leng Yan walked out and walked into a round platform with slightly higher ground, and the arch was engraved with three oracle bone characters of "Emperor Xiutang". The four corners of the room were filled with lit red danmu, and the whole room was filled with a strange fragrance, and in the center was a bed made of Dixiu branches decorated with yellow flowers and black fruits, on which Leng Yu, the leader of the previous generation of Yanshang clan, was lying on it, his eyes closed, breathing calmly. Lang Zhong in the clan could not be healed, so he had to use these two things to stabilize his soul and maintain his life. Whenever Leng Yan was moved by compassion or pity, he would come and sit, and when he went out of here, he would become another person, his heart was like a hard stone, and his whole body exuded a cold breath.
Out of the Emperor's Rest Hall, Leng Yan came to another round platform engraved with the words "Yanzu Hall", which is a place to worship the ancestors of the Yanshang clan for generations, in addition to the leaders and elders, the clansmen who have contributed to the clan are also among them. The Yanshang tribe has practiced cremation since ancient times, and their ashes are placed here.
Leng Yan lit incense, knelt in it after three bows and nine knocks, and read in his mouth: "All the sages are above, the unfilial descendants will start a bloody battle in the name of revenge today, in order to restore the glory of our clan and avoid the sacrifice of our clan, extraordinary means will be used, which is contrary to the way of heaven and harmful to human morality, it is really a last resort, and I hope that the sages will not blame." After that, he prayed in the local language of the Yanshang tribe, praying that this expedition would be safe and smooth, and that the flag would be victorious.
......
Great Elder Xi Bing returned to his mansion, and under the round platform was a circular cellar, with a total of five floors, surrounded by iron cages, which imprisoned strange beasts, filled with a mixture of white, light green and light purple distemper, exuding a disgusting strange smell.
On the first floor, there are birds named Hook, with a mouse-like tail and short wings that cannot fly, and their two paws hook the barbed wire fence of the cage to keep their bodies upright.
On the second floor, he was imprisoned, with a body like a cow, a white head and a snake-like tail, and an eye in the middle of his face, exuding a turbid stench, most of them were sleeping on the wild grass, ignoring Elder Bing's entry, and occasionally two of them were awake and did not move, but just glared at him fiercely with one eye.
On the third level, he looked like an owl, but he only had a claw and a tail like a pig, and his eyes were always fixed on Elder Bing's body, with an expression on his face that wanted to fly out and eat him.
The fourth layer is closed, looking like a hedgehog, the whole body is red like a fire, the whole body is twisted and rolled on the iron bar of the cage, constantly biting, making a piercing "click" sound.
Elder Bing nodded with satisfaction, I didn't dare to treat you badly for so many years, for today. As long as there are you, my Yanshang clan will not be afraid of anything, haha.
