Chapter 104: King of the Land
Adult elephants can weigh up to five tons, while rhinos weigh only about two tons. In general, there is no conflict between elephants and rhinos, and the water from the well does not interfere with the river water. But before crossing, as far as Liu Feng knew, the rhinoceros should not be the elephant's opponent. After all, there is a huge difference in weight, and the elephant's two long teeth are much longer than a rhinoceros's single horn.
However, in this era, this earthy gray rhinoceros is indeed worthy of the name of the king of the land. Probably related to the breed, the rhinoceros here is lighter, has a low center, is very fast, and has horns on the top of its head that are more than two feet long, although not as good as ivory, but not weak in attack.
The sergeants brought in a large number of rhinos, which at the moment seem to be docile. To prevent them from going berserk, put a baffle around the perimeter and remove the restraint from the rhinoceros. Throwing some food aside, the rhinos were free, and began to find food on the ground, and ate very quickly.
The elephant is getting closer and closer, and it seems that he can feel the shaking of the earth. Alarmed by the great movement, the rhinoceros looked up and looked around, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, and continued to look for something to eat.
Ivan took out a black whistle and made a short noise. These weird voices sound uncomfortable to people, and rhinos sound even worse.
Presumably, this sound will anger the rhinoceros and make them go crazy.
When the rhinoceros heard this, they stopped eating, their eyes began to turn red, and they began to show signs of madness. The soldiers were well-trained and stared at the baffle, and naturally, the rhinoceros began to lunge in the direction of the gap, and its mouth made a high-pitched "chirp" sound.
The earth shook even more violently, and they were all behemoths weighing several tons, running wildly, and the movement resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Liu Feng beckoned the sergeants to take advantage of the darkness to walk forward, the elephant was driven by Akash's troops on its back, and people couldn't deal with the elephant, but there was no problem in dealing with the soldiers on the elephant's back.
After rushing to the battlefield, followed by the hazy moonlight, Liu Feng saw a large group of behemoths, fighting to the death. Elephants are superior in size and strength, with long tusks and can attack from a distance.
However, the rhinoceros is also worthy of being the king of the land, and with a slight flicker, the elephant's powerful attack is invisible. Then he lowered his head and pressed the elephant hard with the horns above his head, and with one acceleration, the elephant, along with the Tanesha soldiers on the elephant's back, was flipped to the ground.
The behemoth fell to the ground with a dull loud noise. The Tanesha soldiers who fell to the ground let out a series of exclamations, followed by wails. Between so many red-eyed elephants and rhinos, man is like an ant, insignificant.
The fallen Tanesha soldiers quickly fell silent, presumably trampled into meat by rhinos or elephants that arrived later.
More and more elephants and rhinos join the fray, and the animals let out bursts of roars and wails. Ivan whistled behind him, his voice getting faster and faster, and the rhinoceros's eyes turned red, already in furious mode.
The Tanesha army stood in a basket behind the elephants and commanded the elephants to fight the rhinoceros with their spears.
Liu Feng gave an order, and the sergeants lit the torches together. The sudden light made the Tanesh army extremely uncomfortable, and they involuntarily bowed their heads or covered their eyes with their hands.
At this time, the arrows of the Southern Han army arrived as scheduled. In an instant, arrows rained down. Elephants and rhinoceros have thick skin, and arrows fall on them like tickles, and they have no effect.
But the Tanisha soldiers on the back of the elephant were unlucky. The target was very obvious, and the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty also shot very accurately. used to be condescending attacks and take advantage, but now they have become live targets. Many of the Tanesha soldiers were killed by arrows, threw out of bamboo baskets, fell to the ground, and turned into mud.
The collision and fighting of the behemoths continued, flesh to flesh, skin, fangs to horns, "bang" and the screams and wails of the animals.
The elephant is a docile animal after all, and frightened by these red-eyed rhinoceros, more and more of his companions fell to the ground, and the ground was everywhere, and gradually stopped obeying the soldiers' drive, and began to flee in all directions.
The Tanisha soldiers on the back of the elephant were in a hurry, and the elephant ran wildly, and they were bumped up and down on the back of the elephant, and many soldiers were upside down on the ground, and they were trampled to death by the caught rhinoceros.
One escaped, the second or the third, and after an hour, the battlefield was quiet, and the rhinos and elephants were gone, leaving only blood and rotten flesh all over the ground.
Ivan stopped whistling, looked at the tragic situation in front of him, shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, they are all good animals, and they hardly do evil, but they are being tended to be killed to the death, which is really miserable."
"This is also a helpless move, the elephants and rhinos have fled, so we will stop instigating them to fight in the future." Liu Feng said.
"If I don't whistle, the rhino will calm down and stop chasing the elephant. No one drives them, and they will not be wicked. Please let these rhinos go with your Majesty's permission. Ivan said.
"No problem, let them go. After all, human affairs still have to be solved by ourselves. Liu Feng nodded in agreement, and then arranged the scouts, and Suladare, and a few people, with the soldiers, returned to the camp to rest.
The night was calm, and the next morning, when it was dawning, the soldiers were beckoned to get up. Then feast on the feast and prepare to fight the Akashic soldiers to the death.
Liu Feng divided the 10,000 soldiers into five teams, led one team by himself, one team from Sula, one team from Dare, one team from Toule Mumu, and one team from Muletou, and five teams of men and horses marched from five directions at the same time and rushed to the Tanisha military camp.
There were already scouts in Tanisha's ranks, and Akashic sent the general Anlu to lead the army to meet the enemy. Anlu is a tall and strong, black-faced, big-headed man, with scars on his face, looking very ugly, this man is a strong martial artist, holding a large axe, and he is deeply trusted by Akash.
This guy led the team and gave an order to meet the Southern Han army.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the Southern Han army took out their bows and arrows one after another, and the long-range attack came first. The strong bow and sharp sword broke through the air, making bursts of sounds.
Before they could make contact, the Tanesha army fell first. But fortunately, the Tanesh were outnumbered, and Anru commanded loudly, and it didn't take long for him to stabilize his position and continue to attack.
Liu Feng rode a horse under his crotch, holding a Mo knife in his hand, stirrups on both feet, and rushed to the front. After arriving at the enemy camp, the advantages of the Mo knife were fully displayed, and the nearly one-meter-long sword god was extremely sharp. The man borrowed the horse's momentum, and the dwarf god swept away, and the Tanesha army went to the next large area.
Previously, the army had issued an announcement that the reward for killing Akashy was 500, and the reward for capturing Akashic alive was 1,000. His Majesty the King is the first to rush, so what else to say, rush. The Southern Han army held the ring-headed sword in hand, and quickly rushed forward and engaged the Tannisha army in close combat.
The Tanisha army has been on an expedition, and there has been a shortage of rice recently, and the morale is already very low. When he saw the group of people in front of him, he immediately panicked.
