Chapter 144: Sending out guerrillas
In the past two months, because Lin Ji finally took over the entire Human, the management in the city was a little complacent. With-Dream- . lā
This is a big step forward for Lin Ji, and it also proves that the path everyone is taking is feasible. Therefore, everyone is honored, and all kinds of participation are enthusiastic, and of course, they are inevitably proud.
Many people may think that it is not difficult to destroy the deer.
Now listening to Lin Ji's words, everyone realized that the enemy is the enemy, and in fact, he is far ahead of everyone.
The more than 40,000 people in Jilu are nothing, and the current population in the city, plus the Human, Youda, Ji Lin, etc. outside the city, the population is also close to 40,000. The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and the surrounding tribes should have more people coming after the autumn harvest. For the time being, the population can be seen as flat.
But more than 6,000 adult bighorn deer are dangerous.
Six thousand bighorn deer are six thousand cavalry. There are cavalry on Chaolin's side. But now there are only 1,600 tamed elephants in and outside the city, plus baby elephants and bighorn deer, and about 2,000 can be gathered. Although it is said that this side has the advantage in terms of volume, the flexibility and quantity are far from enough.
Moreover, there seems to be something wrong with the elephant herd at the moment.
The most terrifying thing is the food problem and the geographical location.
The deer probably don't calculate to leave food for backup like the forest trails. And now many tribes may be able to get people into battle as long as they can give a bite to eat and find some reason.
"Why don't we go burn their fields?" Yuan Xiao remembered the fire barrier left by the forest trail in the middle of each field, and asked tentatively.
Since the beginning of farming here last year, the forest has allowed everyone to leave a fire barrier every few hundred meters in the fields. People don't understand it, but they keep doing it.
This is to prevent the deer from burning the fields.
Yuan Xiao felt that the people who were sick with deer would definitely not have this kind of prevention like Lin Ji.
Lin Ji also wanted to take the opportunity to beat these leaders more before releasing the way, but he didn't expect to be laughed out of the way all of a sudden. I had to accept the following words and changed my words: "How to get it, you can talk about it?" ”
Yuan smiled and said: "Send two hundred elephant soldiers, scatter and run north, and light fires all the way......"
Now that there are lighters in Chaolin City, the weather is also starting to dry out at this time, and it is too easy to light a fire.
"Who's leading the team? You go? ”
"Okay, okay, haha." Yuanxiao is also a commander now, but he is always pressed by broken teeth, and he also wants to be motivated.
"Two hundred people are gone, how many people are you going to bring back to me?" Lin Ji asked without a trace of emotion.
"Hmm...... Yes? Yuanxiao suddenly wanted to understand something, and the smiling face collapsed suddenly.
If you set fire to the north like this, it is tantamount to stabbing a knife in the chest of a deer, and the further north you go, the more enemies there will be. Not to mention 200 people, even 2,000 people will be killed by the angry deer people.
Regardless of whether this plan can be completed or not, it is estimated that the question of candidates alone will be a headache for a long time. After all, this is a send-off.
"Why don't we attack early?" Broken Tooth suggested.
Since it is not possible to dispatch 200 people, then directly dispatch 10,000 people, go all the way north, burn their fields, and then slowly retreat.
Under the surprise attack, there is an elephant array to rely on here, which may make the deer suffer a big loss.
Before, everyone didn't have much confidence in the array, but since Lin Ji defeated the three hundred new barbarian guards with more than two dozen elephants and those old and weak people who were digging the river, everyone completely changed their views on the elephant array.
Now everyone thinks that there are more than 1,000 elephants in Chaolin, and they should be able to deal with a team of 10,000 people.
"It's okay in advance, but I recommend not before the fall harvest." It was Stone Beak who spoke, "Something is wrong with our elephant." ”
Stone Beak has been following the dolphin and other systems to summarize the experience of elephant taming these days, in addition to quickly taking the rain and pocketing, he can also be regarded as quite experienced in elephant taming, and he is also very familiar with various things of elephant taming.
"What's wrong with our elephant?" Everyone tensed up and turned their heads to look at the middle dolphin that seemed to have disappeared recently.
Zhong Dolphin smiled bitterly and did not speak, and his black face looked black and small. This can't help but make everyone chuckle in their hearts, what happened to make the dolphin become like this?
Stonebeak continued, "I'll tell you. We now have 1,800 elephants in the vicinity of the city, distributed in eight elephant farms nearby, the nearest one is in the city, and the farthest one is 30 kilometers away from us. These are not the point, the point is the tamed 1,100 elephants, and now there are only about 600 of them, yes, these are what everyone in the city sees. Those outside the city are basically not able to run. ”
"Medium porpoise!" The arc jumped up first, "Can you explain what this is all about?!" ”
The other big leaders were also indignant one by one and glared at the dolphin.
In the eyes of everyone, the dolphin once again showed a wry smile and looked at the forest traces.
Lin Ji raised his hand to attract everyone's attention and said, "I know all these situations. The dolphin kept communicating with me again. I told him not to tell everyone. Stone beak, you continue. ”
Stone Beak continued: "You really can't blame the dolphin for this. I've been running around the city for the past few months, and I know everything. It's not the fault of the dolphin. There are two things that went wrong: first, the food problem. These elephants have to eat four or five hundred catties of food a day, and how much is four or five hundred catties of food, and everyone knows that these foods are enough for three hundred people to eat for a day. As I mentioned earlier, the elephant farm has extended thirty miles outside the city, so you should understand why. ”
"At first we thought that there were countless branches and grasses in the forest, enough for these elephants to eat. It's a big deal, just build the elephant farm farther away and transfer it in time. And when we did, the elephants still couldn't stop being emaciated. ”
"Later we thought it might be the second problem, that these elephants are not adapted to the heat."
"It's true that they don't adapt to high temperatures, and when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature, they eat very little and move very little. Even if we shaved them, it didn't have much effect. ”
"You may ask, why don't the elephants in the city seem to have these problems? There are two reasons for this. First, these elephants are in the best condition of all. We sent out the bad ones, and we picked the good ones back. You don't know what you just said and all of this because Keiko doesn't want everyone to worry. Second, these elephants are taken care of by Xiaobai. ”
"You may ask, why are there fewer elephants in the care of Xiaobai? Hehe, this question is also something that we have only recently figured out. ”
The stone beak and the middle dolphin glanced at each other, and they really couldn't say that they were laughing at themselves.
This is because as long as Xiaobai is in the city, he will feed these elephants with relatively cool well water, and for this reason, Lin Ji also installed a hand-cranked water pump near Xiaobai's elephant house.
In addition, Xiaobai will steal a lot of corn and sweet potato stocks every day to feed these elephants. Later, in order to prevent it from stealing, Lin Ji also damaged the granary, so he simply gave it a few hundred catties every day and let it feed the elephants.
As a result, it was found that the elephants fed well water were not prone to loss of appetite. And the elephant who goes to Xiaobai every day to eat a little grain can also maintain a better size.
After Lin Xi learned about these results, he did some further experiments. It was further concluded that if the elephants were properly fed some ice water in the summer, they would be able to maintain their vitality for a longer period of time. And they need to consume a certain amount of starch and protein in addition to plants and trees.
Knowing these truths, several elephant farms are improving the situation, but it is natural that it is not possible to achieve those weak elephants to the point of being able to fight.
Everyone understood this, and the eyes that looked at the dolphin again had become different. How much pressure has he been under to do this during this time? It's really embarrassing for him.
"So, we have to go back to the field where the deer burned. I think it's best to delay the plan to attack the deer until next year. Lin Ji pulled the topic back and looked at everyone.
Yuan Xiao met Lin Ji's gaze, smiled a little miserably, and looked at death as home: "I'd better go." Since there are not so many elephants, we do not have elephants. But this man ......"
"I'm still the same, how many people can you bring me back?" Lin Ji also laughed.
"I ...... I don't know. Yuanxiao almost cried. He could die there, but he didn't dare to let everyone who went with him die there.
Qiao Huan, who had a big belly, couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Qizi, don't embarrass him, what can you do to tell him." ”
Lin Ji had to sell the face of pregnant women, and said: "I said that everyone should use their brains more, but I don't want you to rush directly stupidly." Are they all leaders still like small soldiers? Today I will teach you a trick called guerrilla warfare ......"
