He hugged the elephant's trunk, swayed it up and down, and shouted, "Put me down, let me down." ”

When the elephant trainer saw that the man had been found, he whistled his fingers, and the elephant slowly placed Tu Dengfu on the hillside.

Tu Dengfu stopped shouting at this time, and still lay on the grass on the hillside with palpitations.

At this time, two soldiers ran and lifted Tu Dengfu up and walked towards the viewing platform.

When the tribal leader saw Tu Dengfu, he said, "I told you to sit and watch, why do you have to go down and have trouble with the elephants?" ”

Tu Dengfu had to admit: "I was really worried about the disorder of the elephants, and as a result, they didn't give me face and almost killed me." Alas! ”

The head of the tribe pointed to the herd of elephants below and said, "Even though it is night, you can feel their loyalty, you see, the elephants are starting to exert their strength, they have passed the pass, how happy they are." He stood up, waved his hand at the elephant herd below, and said, "Chong, rush, rush into the Chu army camp, rush—"

On the Chu army's side, the Gouhan combat team led by Liu Huaibei had just been deployed not far from the pass, but unexpectedly, a large number of elephants had poured in.

Soldier A shouted: "Uncle Huaibei, elephant ......"

Liu Huaibei looked at it, took a breath and said, "I didn't expect them to come, everyone is in place." Dog, it's up to you. ”

Gou Han was already chasing the elephant that ran out of the cordon with a basin, and he ordered loudly: "Quickly pour spicy water on the elephant running in front, quickly, it will be effective." ”

The soldiers above carried pots of chili water and scrambled to chase the elephant to splash the chili water, but the effect was not as good as they thought. The elephants are all mixed with chili water on their butts, which is not very harmful to them.

Soldier A, chasing the elephant, may have spilled pepper water on the elephant's wound when he threw it on it, and the elephant kicked him over with one hoof, and then ran forward violently.

Liu Huaibei found the problem and immediately called Gou Han and said: "Gou Han, this doesn't work, it has no effect, you quickly adjust the splashing method, I will inform General Zhuang to move away and retreat." ”

Gou Han shouted: "Hey, don't worry, don't tell General Zhuang for the time being, don't worry, we will stop the elephant herd." ”

Tu Dengfu saw that the elephant herd had crossed the pass, and thought that the hope of victory had been greatly increased. He said to the leader: "We will send troops to follow the elephant herd, and after leveling their military camp, we will kill another group of his people, so that the Chu army can be completely driven away." ”

The tribal leader stretched out his thumb and praised: "Okay, he is worthy of being the commander of the Labor Baptist Army." ”

Tu Dengfu got the affirmation of the leader, and quickly set off to return to his house to gather the army, he must appear at the junction of the Chu army's retreat at the same time as the elephant herd steps on the Chu military camp to block their retreat.

Gou Han adjusted the way to stop the elephant herd, that is, from chasing the elephant to intercepting the later elephant herd.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately turned their heads and threw the chili water in the basin at the head of the elephant rushing towards them. The elephants, who smelled or got the chilli water, began to turn around and run back. As a result, there is an uncontrollable chaos in the elephant herd.

Cut down the elephant herd and splash it with chili pepper water to achieve unimaginable results.

Liu Huaibei saw that the chili water in this pot had such a miraculous effect on the unstoppable elephant herd, and said with great confidence: "Okay, the effect is out, but we must save water, and we must splash them all in key places, disrupt the rhythm of the attack of the tribal leaders, and keep the military camp until dawn." ”

At this time, the elephant that was splashed with water ran back, and the elephant that came behind squeezed forward desperately under the order of the trainer, and became a stalemate with considerable strength.

After seeing this situation, Gou Han said to the soldiers: "Treat them differently, or adhere to the principle of throwing head-on, pay attention, pay attention, break each one, and save weapons." ”

Liu Huaibei saw that the Jiaoshui troops quickly reversed the passive situation, so he sent Soldier A to run back to the barracks to report the battle situation to Zhuang Ji.

When Zhuang Ji learned that the military camp could be guaranteed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the traffic soldiers of Wu Shixun's department also came to report overnight, saying that the Wu tribe had cut off the route of the Mo tribe to send troops to aid Lao Bapt, and asked Zhuang Ji to concentrate his troops to attack Lao Baptism with confidence.

Jing Yin, who listened to the report, asked Zhan and said, "General Zhuang, I will lead a team of soldiers to the Touren's Mansion, what do you think?" ”

Zhuang Ji said with certainty: "This matter can really be considered, if he lifts our station, we can't copy his back?" Okay, the camp is stable, so let's take him by surprise. ”

After Jing Yin got the order, when she went out and saw that the morning star had risen, she ordered the soldiers: "You must occupy the Touren's Mansion before dawn and end the enemy's lair." ”

All the soldiers responded in unison: "Okay, take out the enemy's lair." ”

Jing Yin charged ahead, detouring to Yazikou, the real tribal leader's mansion.

It turned out that on the tribe's side, in order to cooperate with the elephant war, Tu Dengfu returned to his home and mobilized all the armed forces to Yazikou, and he had to keep up with the rhythm of the elephant's attack.

When he arrived with his troops, he was just in time for the elephants to turn around and run back after being stimulated by the chili water.

Tu Dengfu was taken aback and said, "How is this going on?" Aren't the elephant troops quite capable of entering? Could it be that the Chu army camp has already been destroyed? ”

An elephant trainer told Tu Dengfu: "What's the matter, the thing that our elephant troops are most afraid of, it is coming, they don't turn around and run back, what can they do?" ”

Tu Dengfu said with a confused face: "Didn't you say that the elephant army is invincible? How can there be anything they are afraid of? What are you afraid of, Chu Jun has it? ”

The trainer whispered: "This is a secret that can't be known to outsiders, Commander Tu, in fact, this so-called elephant army has its fatal weakness, that is, it is particularly afraid of the smell of chili peppers, not to mention splashing chili water on their faces or eyes, so that it will kill them, do you think, will the elephants rush forward desperately for you?" ”

Tu Dengfu seemed to say clearly: "Oh, I see, no wonder someone bought Chaotian pepper in the market a few days ago, it turns out that people have long known the weakness of elephants." ”

When the elephant trainer heard this, he was shocked and said, "Commander Tu has already received information that someone in the Chu army has purchased Chaotian Pepper?" Why haven't we heard of it? ”

Tu Dengfu explained casually: "I didn't know about the elephant army at the time, and I only thought that these things about buying chili peppers were eaten by other soldiers, because many of the Chu army were from Yingdu and liked to eat chili peppers, which is not surprising." You see, I have been in charge for so long, and not a single elephant trainer has told me about the weakness of elephants, but they have only boasted about how good they are and how they can be ten with one. It turns out that this is not the case in actual combat. ”
