(93) Elephant warfare
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the war elephants that had been docile and leisurely just now, whether they were in the quagmire or about to go ashore, began to roar in the sky, and several close ones began to attack each other, and the cavalrymen above shouted angrily at their mounts, but they could not control it at all.
The mood of the elephant herd grew more and more irritable, and it let out an angry and desperate roar in the deep valley. The Yan dragoons drew their whips and tried to control their mounts, but they were knocked down by the elephants and fell directly into the swamp, and the people turned over on their backs.
The mighty Dragon Knight was no better than the rabbit before, and after only a few struggles on the surface of the quagmire, it was swallowed up.
It was a terrible scene, and the more frightened the cavalry became, the more they tried to contain the herd, the more fiercely they were attacked by the herd. The long whips whipped at the rough-fleshed war elephants as if they were scratching them.
Usually those good-natured big guys seem to have suddenly gone crazy, one by one, some of them rolled up their long noses and swept straight away, and threw their masters directly into the swamp, and some simply lay down and rolled, and when it stood up again, the knight on its back had disappeared without a trace.
The elephants of the silver and bronze crossbows were no better, and let out a low, angry roar, which did not lift them off their backs, but they could not restrain themselves from running wildly, and the two could only cling to the saddle to avoid the fate of being buried in the mire like those poor men.
The copper crossbow was stunned, unable to believe what was happening in front of him, and after a while, he shouted in panic: "Second brother, what's going on?
Silver was so close to the shore that he had struggled to climb onto the desk, covered in filthy mud and rotting leaves, hanging haphazardly from his body, making the otherwise hideous tattoos look ridiculous. Silver looked at the frantically angry war elephants and the warriors who were completely vulnerable in front of the herd, and muttered to himself in horror.
"Crazy! They're crazy!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Yanlong warriors who were still riding on the war elephant just now were mourning, some of them were still floating in the mire, and some were desperately holding on to the elephant's legs, delusionally trying to make a final struggle, but they were immediately lifted by the enraged elephant's huge elephant hooves and stepped directly into the quagmire until they were not topped.
The elephants also started attacking each other. Bulls, including young bulls, fight for a female elephant and use their sharp tusks to pluck at each other's soft bellies and pull out their entrails and intestines. They didn't know the pain, and as they rushed forward, the intestines in their stomachs crackled and fell out, and some of them had already collapsed into the mire before they could reach their opponents, becoming a dead corpse.
And the male elephant, who finally won after a bloody battle, finally staggered to the side of the female elephant, and was also raised by the female elephant and kicked to the ground. It was scarred, and no longer had the strength to fight the terrible suction in the mire, and finally sank like the bulls it had killed before.
The 100,000 cavalry, with the exception of a few close to the shore and nimble and struggling to climb ashore, were either killed by the elephants or swallowed up by the swamp. Of the 4,000 war elephants, less than a hundred remained, lay dying on the surface of the mire, with holes pierced by the tusks of their companions, and blood gushing silently from there. They finally fell silent, let out a low whining wail, and no longer had the strength to attack each other violently.
It was a swampy quagmire, and no matter how much blood flowed into it, there was no trace of it, and even all the corpses would slowly sink and eventually rot along with the dead leaves.
There were less than 2,000 people who climbed ashore with the silver and copper crossbows, and they were basically some small leaders and those who reacted a little faster and calmer. They climbed ashore in embarrassment, staring blankly at this momentary and thrilling scene, completely dumbfounded.
Four thousand Hongtian ancient elephants and more than 90,000 cavalry disappeared in front of them so tragically, but it was only two teas.
Finally, Yinlu seemed to react suddenly, jumped up, and said angrily: "It's a swamp! Third brother, there must be a ghost in the swamp! It's the swamp that makes the elephants crazy!"
The bronze crossbow also seemed to have suddenly returned to its place, and suddenly realized: "That's right! There must be something in this swamp, we have been tricked!"
Qinglan was young after all, and couldn't help laughing: "I said stupid, are you comfortable taking a bath? Do you want to continue rubbing your back?"
The copper crossbow was annoyed and ashamed, and his father handed over the most precious 4,000 war elephants and 100,000 iron horsemen to him and Yinlu, and in the blink of an eye, the other party didn't even raise his fingers, and he was wiped out! He was still immersed in shock just now and couldn't extricate himself, at this time he suddenly heard Qinglan's contemptuous ridicule, as if five thunders thundered on the top, and he woke up suddenly, thinking that he would be defeated without a fight today, if his father knew, he was afraid that he and his second brother would be shot to death!
He was angry and afraid, and he was full of anger and anger at this person who made a shameful remark. At this time, he was only two or three zhang away from Qinglan, although he was in a mess, he was not injured like Yinlu, and immediately flew up and hit Qinglan is sky-cracking stone!
And as soon as he saw that his brother had already made a move, Yinlu immediately yelled at Kuai Fang without hesitation, and his fists condensed ten successes and sent out an earth-shattering blow!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, Jinghua will not just make an ordinary swamp out, and just use it to delay the progress of the elephant herd!
And how could he not know that the Hongtian Ancient Elephant is an ancient alien species, with thick skin and flesh, and it is extremely difficult to damage ordinary swords, and at the same time he is docile and loyal to his master, and he will not abandon his master unless he dies?
Fighting with his Pegasus cavalry, the hope of victory is extremely slim, and there are bound to be heavy casualties -
Well, of course he won't be tough!
Hearing the elephants stamping their feet, the panic on his side was just pretended, and Qinglan They were also pretended to be frightened when they saw the war elephants stepping into the swamp, in order to make Jiang Yinlu and Jiang Tonglu be complacent and fearless, that is, to lure all the war elephants into the swamp, so that the medicine could play its role.
The medicine is specially formulated with stone fungus, which is mixed in the mire, and can drill into the body along the pores of the war elephant's skin, stimulate their nervous system, and make the elephant herd estrus.
The elephant is actually a very gentle animal, except for the *estrus period.
Male elephants in heat are especially terrifying, irritable and irritable, attacking people they perceive as a threat for no apparent reason, and they will attack each other for any reason until one of them dies. The female elephant in heat is not much better, and is so bored with the fly-like male elephants that are staring at the back of the buttocks, and often even uses force to directly express their dissatisfaction and refusal to mate.
In order to prevent the estrus of the war elephants from affecting the battle, Jiang Chiyu also specially gave them all drugs to prevent estrus before setting out on the expedition. Shi Er is now just doing the opposite, not only to remove the antidote, but also to stimulate the war elephants several times, let them roll in the mud pool, and they will all be burned in the fire.
They made this plan, but Shi Er is not a veterinarian after all, and he doesn't know where to get so many drugs that can stimulate the elephant's estrus at one time. He received this task for a long time, thinking that if he really couldn't do it, he would either go and ask the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and ask where to find this magic medicine by his mount.
I didn't want Jinghua to cough lightly twice, and the color of Bai Jing Swen's face did not change: "Don't be so troublesome, just take the medicine." ”
Ah, the most beautiful of the hundred medicines!
Ah, Jinghua, you are the most genius in the country of generals!
As soon as these words came out, Kuai Fang couldn't help blushing, and Qinglan and the other men were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but lean forward and lean back with laughter.
At that moment, Shi Er sent his shadow guards out to collect hundreds of stones of the most powerful potions, mixed them in the swamp they had dug artificially. Although the pores on human skin are much more delicate than those of elephants, and even if they are touched at all, they will not penetrate into the body and have any particularly serious consequences, but everyone is still tightly wrapped when working, and even wears a mask and a towel to prevent accidents.
Qinglan and Kuai Fang saw that the plan was effective, and they admired Jinghua's clever calculations even more in their hearts. The most troublesome elephant herd has been completely disintegrated without a single soldier, and the morale of our generals has been greatly boosted, and one by one they raised their arms and shouted, "Second Highness Chitose Chitose", and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth.
Qinglan and the copper crossbow fought inextricably. The arm strength of both of them is very amazing, and it can be said that they have met opponents for the first time in their lives. Qinglan's twilight and the copper hammer of the copper crossbow collided again and again, the sound of ping-pong continued, and sparks splashed everywhere. If you come to the top of Mount Tai, I will pull out a thousand pounds. You come and go, and you don't give way.
Kuaifang also played very well. She fought a pair of giant axes against Yinlu with a long whip, one rigid and one soft, which was her natural nemesis. Several times, Yinlu tried to grab her long whip and cut it with a sharp axe, but instead Kuaikata made Jiu-Jitsu take the lead and entangle his axe.
Both brothers were red-eyed. They knew very well that 4,000 war elephants were the lifeblood of their father, and they were so gorgeously immersed in the quagmire, and the 100,000 cavalry were only left with only 2,000 people on the shore in front of them. Even if they escaped, they would have punished their father and the king miserably, and they couldn't hold their heads up in front of the brothers, so it was better to fight against the water and kill one or two of the main generals of his heavenly clan, so that they could overcome the merits! They used their strength to eat, fighting and screaming at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides were also busy waving their flags and shouting for the main generals, and the scene was very warm and hot.
No one noticed, and the small heavenly soldier sneaked to the edge of the mire.
