Chapter 220: Nemesis

Several barbarian kings were called by Cao Cao to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Cao Cao said: "A few of you have been in Nanzhong for a long time, and you are familiar with the temperament of elephants, do you know what to restrain elephants?" ”

A few people look at me and I look at you, restraining the elephant's things, you Lao Cao knows, won't the elephant be scared away when he fights with the king of Mulu? But Cao Cao asked, it seems that the original method will not work.? Bayi Chinese Net = ≠.Several people all shook their heads and muttered that they didn't know. Joke, tigers and leopards have to hide when they see elephants, is there anything bigger than elephants in this world?

Zhuge Ke suddenly said next to him: "The Mulu King clan is good at driving elephants, I don't know if there are good elephant tamers under his command to follow?" ”

King Mulu nodded and said, "What's more, my people are almost born to domesticate elephants. ”

Zhuge Ke said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao and sit with a few kings, I will come when I go." ”

Zhuge Ke came to the camp of the Mulu King, started a local conversation, and talked with the soldiers for a long time, his heart was overjoyed, and he returned to the big tent and said loudly: "Cao Gong, I have found something to restrain the elephant." ”

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Xun speak quickly. ”

Zhuge Ke smiled: "This thing is very small, and its name is bees." ”

King Mulu jumped up and said loudly, "No, how can elephants be afraid of bees?" ”

Zhuge Ke said: "I just talked with the people of the Great Royal Family, and a soldier said: Once domesticated an elephant, accidentally, collided with a wild bee's nest, the wild bee poured out of the nest, and the elephant saw it and hurriedly ran away. As I guess, elephants are afraid of bees. ”

Cao Cao said: "There are a lot of wild bees in the mountains and forests, why not try them?" ”

With three points of surprise on his face, King Mulu volunteered and said, "Lord Cao, I'll go get a wild honeycomb, and try it tomorrow for the wild elephants in the woods." ”

Cao Cao said: "Wild bees are extremely poisonous, so the king should be careful. ”

Mulu grinned and said: "Hehe, don't hide it from Lord Cao, I loved to eat wild honey when I was a child, dig up a wild beehive, and bring it to my hand." ”

Cao Cao agreed with a smile, and the King of Mulu turned around and walked out of the big tent, shouted dozens of people's hands, lit torches, took a few pockets, and rushed away.

At dawn the next day, Mulu, who had a blue face and swollen nose, kept two big bags, happily came to Cao Cao, and shouted in a loud voice: "Lord Cao, I was fortunate to live up to that life last night, and my sons and I got two beehives. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "What about Yuan Xun? Hurry up and find Yuan Xun, accompany King Mulu to find the wild elephant herd, and see how the effect is? ”

The sleepy-eyed Zhuge Ke heard that Mulu had really come to the wild beehive, and he was busy accompanying Mulu out of the camp, asking Mulu how he got it along the way. Boast about how you drive away poisonous snakes, how you recognize the taste of wild honey, how you find your nest, how to do it, and so on. Hearing this, Zhuge Ke's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but praise Mulu for being brave and strategic.

In the territory of Tianzhu Kingdom, there are many elephants, and a group of people walked for a short time, and when they heard the sound of broken trees and 'moo' roaring in the dense forest, Mulu said: "There must be wild elephants eating inside." ”

Zhuge Ke said: "Let's go in and have a look?" ”

Mulu said: "Yuan Xun, you follow me, I will protect you." ”

Zhuge Ke said: "Thank you, King. But the king should not underestimate people, although I am not as tall and strong as you, and my courage is not smaller than yours. ”

Mu Lu smiled: "You misunderstood, in this dense forest, there are a lot of poisons, you thin skin and tender meat, you were bitten by poison, where is Lord Cao, how can I explain?" ”

Zhuge Ke smiled: "I drink realgar wine every day, and the poisonous snake doesn't dare to get close, as for other poisons, it's not a big deal." ”

Mu Lu smiled: "Once you enter the dense forest, you will know." ”

As he spoke, everyone slowly entered the dense forest, after all, Zhuge Ke went out with the army for the first time, although he was full of pride in his heart, but he had little contact with actual affairs. Seeing Mulu holding wooden sticks in both hands, two bags pinned to his waist, he also followed his example and took two sticks in his hands.

Mulu suddenly said: "Pay attention, this thorn can't be touched, and the spikes are poisonous." With that, he used his arms to separate the thorn bushes.

Zhuge Ke followed behind, the wooden stick was not skillful, and a thorn strip suddenly swept over his face, so panicked that Zhuge Ke threw away the stick and blocked it with his hand, and Mu Lu was just about to say: "Don't." Zhuge Ke's hand had already grasped the thorn strip. The hot stinging pain made Zhuge Ke can't help but scream, Mulu stretched out the stick, brushed aside the thorns, and advised: "Be careful." ”

Zhuge endured the pain and followed closely behind Mulu, for fear that he would be accidentally hit again.

As they go deeper, the herd is exposed. It's a small herd of elephants, with only a dozen of them. Zhuge Ke asked Mulu in a low voice: "How did the wild bees let it go?" ”

Mulu whispered, "Look at me." With that, he untied the two bags.

Zhuge Ke saw the wild elephant tamely eating leaves and weeds, and the long nose was relaxed, so he put the food in his mouth, and his huge body stood in the woods, chewing and swallowing slowly.

The wooden deer leaned down, quietly approached the herd, came to a big tree, untied the rope that tied the bag, threw it slowly, then shrank down, hid behind the tree, and crawled back on the ground.

The wild bees saw the light and flew out along the mouth of the loose bag, the wild bees gathered more and more, and made a 'buzzing' sound, and the herd of elephants that were eating, heard the sound, turned their heads and saw the flying wild bees, as if they were not dying, they ran away, and the mother elephant kept driving the baby elephant with her nose, and when she saw that the baby elephant was crooked, she hurriedly rolled up, straightened her body, and continued to run.

Zhuge Ke saw that the wild elephant herd was really scared away by the wild bees, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up, and said loudly to Mulu: "We succeeded. ”

Back in the camp, Zhuge Ke and Mulu reported, Cao Cao laughed: "It's really heaven helping the big man." Pass the order down, and let the King of Mulu personally teach the whole army how to get the wild beehive, and there must be no mistakes. ”

King Mulu was careless, because of a little hobby when he was a child, in front of the whole army, he showed his face greatly, and excitedly taught his experience everywhere without black or white, and his voice was hoarse, and he didn't regret it.

The Han army came to a general mobilization of the whole army, taking turns to look for wild beehives in the mountains and forests, and it is estimated that in this area, there will be no more wild bees to build nests in ten or eight years.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at the countless pockets proudly, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the King of Mulu: "King Mulu, will this wild bee die in the pocket?" ”

Mulu smiled proudly: "As long as the honey in the nest can't be eaten, the wild bees will be safe and sound." "

With wild bees, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhang to lead 10,000 horses to Gogra to challenge and kill the enemy elephants; Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi each led 5,000 men and horses, waited until the elephant soldiers were defeated, and took advantage of the situation to attack the city; Zhuge Ke restrained the wild bees of the elephants, and made great contributions, leading 5,000 people to respond to the rear team.

Cao Zhang led 10,000 horses to the city of Gogra, and when Bedo saw the Han army coming again, he immediately asked Diega Ye for battle, and Diega Ye readily agreed.

When Bedo came out of the city, he saw the Han army in a formation in the distance, and he didn't say anything, but urged the elephant herd to rush forward. Cao Zhang saw that the elephant herd was close, and said loudly: "Attack quickly." ”

I saw fifty war horses, and the whirlwind met the herd of elephants, but the soldiers did not hold weapons in their hands, and each one carried bulging bags in their hands. Bei Duoyi wondered in his heart, what kind of tactics is this of the Han army? Do you want to throw thistles again? No, hurry up and rush over, and we must not let the Han army's conspiracy succeed.

Fifty soldiers saw that the elephants had quickened their degrees, and to see that they were almost within range of their bows and arrows, they controlled their horses with their left hands, rounded their right arms vigorously, and threw their bags towards the elephants. After throwing it away, he quickly turned the horse's head and beat the horse back to his own position.

Fifty pockets did not wait for the landing, and a swarm of wild bees flew out, and the wild bees were extremely aggressive, and loved to hold grudges, and when they saw the dense elephants running over, they mistakenly thought that they were these big guys, and made themselves stuffed in the bags. The wild bees stopped in the air for a moment, flew in strange patterns, and then, like a cloud of black smoke, rushed towards the herd.

The elephant herd suddenly braked suddenly, and the elephant in front of it turned around and ran, and the soldier on the elephant's back almost did not fall down. When the elephant behind was inexplicable, it collided with the elephant that turned back and ran, and the neat formation was scattered in an instant. Under the violent collision of the elephant, the elephant slave and the soldier fell into bad luck, were turned off the broad back of the elephant, and were trampled by the huge elephant's hooves and broke their tendons.

The flight degree of the wild bee must be faster than the elephant's run, and the elephant behind saw the wild bee, and began to turn around and run, and the surviving elephant slaves, shouting at the elephant, ran towards the city gate, but many uncontrolled elephants, because of habits, also ran to the city gate. The gate of the city is so wide, and it would be good to discharge three elephants side by side, so many elephants are crowded here, and it will become a pot of porridge, and you will hit the elephant's temper against me.

Diega Ye was stunned at the head of the city, and the Han army dispatched fifty people to defeat more than a thousand elephants with the help of wild bees, isn't it a myth?

Wild bees rushed to the herd, and some landed on the ears of the elephants, and began to release toxins and vent their anger. Some simply attacked the soldiers on the elephant's back, and the stinging soldiers yelled one by one.

Elephants are afraid of wild bees, probably because they are afraid that they will get into their ears and eyes, or elephants have keen hearing and are not interested in the sound of bees, the reason does not make sense for a while, interested friends can research, maybe get a Nobel Prize or something.

The elephant herd was stung by wild bees, and immediately went crazy, and did not care to enter the city, so they scattered and fled, and the wild bees pursued in the air. Outside the city of Gogra, a legendary picture of wild bees fighting elephant soldiers was staged.

Cao Zhang saw that the elephant soldiers were defeated, and commanded the men and horses to rush towards the city gate. Diejaya also cared about Bedoyun outside the city, and ordered the city gate to be closed.

The soldiers under the city couldn't help but curse at Diega Ye in their hearts, the cave in the city gate is crowded with crazy elephants, your grandmother drip it down and try it?

The gate of Gogra could not be closed for a while, and Cao Zhang had already come to the gate of the city, and when he saw dozens of elephants crowded in the cave of the city gate, he couldn't help grinning and shouting: "Gunpowder bag attack." ”

With the order, Cao Zhang's personal soldiers took out the longbow, put on the arrows, hung up the small gunpowder bag, lit it, drew the longbow, and the sharp arrows went to the city gate.
