Yixin was woken up in the early hours of the morning by the hustle and bustle of the camp. The people in the camp were neighing, and the fire was everywhere. The cooks are busy cooking, the soldiers are dressing up their clothes and armor, and the logistics soldiers are distributing supplies, all of which look like they are ready to go to war.

After a brief moment of confusion, Yixin soon found that the two guards guarding him were gone, and a centurion had arrived outside the tent.

"You're Yixin?" The centurion asked.

"Yes." Yixin replied, vaguely remembering that this centurion used to be the little friend of the black jackal, and it turned out to be a member of the little elephant soldiers. Now it's supposed to be the centurion of the elephant cavalry.

"How's your archery going?"

"The recruits have achieved ten arrows and seventy rings."

Five out of ten arrows were mounted archery, so it was already an excellent result. Because the basic requirement of mounted archery is not to miss the target. This is the foundation laid by Yixin when he was messing around outside the elephant breeding field, and he took his friends to practice hard.

"Good. You are requisitioned. Come with me. The centurion shoved two pieces of paper into the novice's hand, turned and left.

Yixin took his bow and knife, buckled his shoes and jumped to follow, and when he passed a fire, he looked at the two pieces of paper in his hand by the light of the fire. On the piece of paper, a few lines were scribbled with small scratches: "Yixin has meritorious information in communication, and meritorious service is first-class." Hong Anying broke his teeth. ”

Yixin was stunned, looked around again, and quickly understood: This is the information he brought back has been proven, and now he is ready to fight?

Yixin was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly looked at the piece of paper below, which read: "Tiaoyixin entered the elephant cavalry and was responsible for leading the way first." Folded teeth. ”

"Hurry up." The centurion in front of him urged.

Yixin put away the two notes, chased after them and asked, "Have I slept for a long time?" How can the information be confirmed so quickly? ”

The centurion said, "I don't know how long you sleep. But I knew that the scout had been out for less than fourteen hours before the news came back. That is, half an hour ago. ”

"How fast?"

"I heard that it was still the way that the staff thought of, and they dragged the boat to make a beacon on the water. The news came back from the lake. ”

"Huh?" Yixin thought of Jin Yao, who made it difficult for him to death, and felt that it was strange how to think about it. Are these bastards really capable of it?

"Don't be stunned." The centurion said: "If what you said is correct, I heard that according to the General Staff, the Orca tribe is estimated to have been broken now, and we have to hurry." Moreover, we are already behind the Honored Soldiers. ”

"Honored soldiers?" Yixin naturally knows about the honored soldiers. I just couldn't understand why the Honored Soldiers ran ahead of them.

The centurion said: "Count Stonebeak has now been promoted to the rank of captain of ten thousand people, and he will cross the lake with the Rong soldiers to fight in the afternoon, and he may have killed a lot of people from the ten directions by now." ”

"Huh?" Yixin couldn't react a little. Why is the Honored Soldier still connected with the stone beak, and even the captain has appeared? He couldn't react, as if he had slept too long.

The kingdom did not abolish the habit of all the people being soldiers, so there were always few professional soldiers. Before, Stone Beak was only a commander with the honor of an earl. Above the commander of the thousand, there is a distinction between various branches of the army, which is generally crowned by the general, and there is no military rank of the commander of the thousand.

Stonebeak was the kingdom's first captain.

The centurion smiled and said, "I don't know how you kid is so lucky." Captain Wan said he believed what you said, so he set off with the Honored Soldier before the information was confirmed. As long as you can survive until the end of the war, it is estimated that the king will receive you. ”

"Just give me a bowl of broth, and I can live until the end of the war." Yixin touched his hungry stomach and felt that in addition to the lack of food, it was wrapped in infinite fighting spirit.

"The broth is there, it's ready. Hurry up, take advantage of the cool breeze in the early morning, we have to walk more and strive to get to the battlefield early. ”

At the centurion's urging, time seemed to be speeding up. Yixin hurriedly ate two bowls of rice, stuffed a few baked potatoes into his arms, and then he carried a heavy quiver and climbed onto the back of the elephant.

The war elephant snorted and roared, and followed the torches held in front of it and rushed towards the darkness outside the camp.

Five hundred elephants led a thousand men to open the way, and as the vanguard, although they knew the dangers of war, the danger ahead was still beyond their imagination. Because of all the estimates of the General Staff, because the General Staff - or the whole of China - lack of understanding of this newly formed Ten Fang Tribe, the response to the emergence of the Ten Fang Tribes is not accurate enough.

In fact, as a horde of people who have been driven out of their territory to flee for their lives, their mechanics are just as fast and efficient.

After the 41st ship appeared in Lot 292 and then went south to another river to check, the Ten Directions realized that their actions might have been exposed.

The tribal structure of the Shifang people is not quite the same as the traditional tribal structure. Some of them specialize in delivering messages, and they have their own mounts.

It turned out that one of the tribes of the Ten Directions lived in symbiosis with wild boars, so they domesticated hundreds of wild boars. Their mounts are also those big black boars of four or five hundred pounds.

——These contents are completely unknown and unknown to the Chinese side.

Wild boars may not have the same endurance as horses or deer, but they have a brute force and can run up to sixty or seventy kilometers in a day. This makes riding them much less effort than using human legs. As a result, the people of Shifang have established their own communication network.

The 41st ship spent about a day and a half inspecting the ferry port that was being built by the Ten Fangren. The vigilant Shifang people quickly sent their boar riders to report to their leader.

In just one day, these wild boar riders gathered in the core stronghold of the Ten Directions.

The leaders of the Ten Directions lived in a hidden ravine, and they used the trunks of trees the thickness of their hands and feet to build wooden houses similar to those in Huaxia among the trees.

While the news came, the chiefs dyed the hair of some twelve or thirteen-year-old boys with madder, plant ash, animal blood, and some mineral pigments.

Only warriors who could go into battle wore red hair, and children and women generally had black hair.

"We're going to speed up and go south. Otherwise, they'll come across. The leaders of the ten directions were deliberating in the room.

"But we haven't finished harvesting our sweet potatoes yet." The rest of the grain they got from Huaxia was basically burned, but the sweet potatoes couldn't be burned. It's just that it takes a certain amount of time to dig the sweet potatoes out of the ground.

"It's too late. There will be no shortage of food when we get to the territory of the killer whales. I have calculated the speed of their ship, and if it is fast, it may only take three days to come to us. Their ships are coming, our bridges will be cut off, and we won't be able to use even rafts. ”

"I still don't think we should go down this path. We're a little further east, where their boats won't get there. And it's hard for their livestock to come over, so we don't have to rush. ”

"I said it at the time of the last resolution. The east side will be directly facing the grandfather who is riding fish, and we can't beat him. And there are more rivers to the east, so it's more troublesome for us to let children and women cross the river. Also, our goal is to go to the west of the killer whales, grab enough food, and then go south to find territory in the wilderness. Don't dwell on them. ”

“…… They don't dare to hit the bridge, right? ”

"I shouldn't dare. I went to their boats and saw them, which were also made of wood. It's pretty much how these houses are put together. ”

"Then why don't we build a bridge at the mouth of the river...... Or we don't have to build bridges, just put these big logs in the water and let them hit them, and they won't be able to get here. ”

"Yes. We'll send some more warriors. Their boats are generally not manpowered, and when they stop, their big animals won't be able to get here anyway. So that gives us a little more time. ”

"But their cattle can come along the lake."

"That's why we're going to keep as many people as possible near the killer whales. And before the killer whales find out, occupy one or two of their kind of sturdy stockades. ”

……

After the discussion, the big wild boar of the people of the ten directions ran out with all kinds of information, and after some preparations, the soldiers of Huaxia were soon ushered in, and the bloody battle on both sides soon began tragically.
