Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 92 The War Elephant Breaks the Vine Armor

looked at the rattan armor in front of him in surprise, and then Wen Qin held the rattan armor from the corpse in his hand, and looked at the little trace.

"It's really impenetrable!" Wen Qin stroked the scratch and sighed, "But this rattan armor is really light. ”

Wen Qin gave the rattan armor in his hand to everyone, those barbarian generals are okay, many of them have seen rattan armor before, and those Han generals have never seen rattan armor, so this rattan armor is still very fresh for Han generals.

"This rattan armor is really a good thing, the toughness is not worse than the heavy armor, but it is much lighter."

"Yes, but light also has the disadvantage of light, this rattan armor is too light and too thin, if you encounter heavy weapons such as sledgehammers and axes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist, even if you wear rattan armor, you will be beaten to the bones and tendons."

"But I heard that this dong is made of repeated soaking in oil, and I am very afraid of fire.

"Well, I heard that this thing is soaked half at a time, taken out and then dried, and then soaked, it takes more than ten or twenty years to make such a pair, but it is troublesome enough, and a lot of heavy armor can be made with this effort."

The Han generals began to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of rattan armor.

Adou took the vine skin of a rattan armor and put it in his hand to look at it carefully. Adou This is also the first time to see rattan armor, this rattan armor is very light in weight, very tightly braided, and it is made of several layers, the rattan is shiny and shiny, with an oily color, coupled with the smell of oil, people know at a glance that things are often immersed in oil.

Adou gently touched the surface of the vine, the surface is very smooth, but it is not soft, on the contrary, it is a little hard, but this hardness is not the hardness of steel, but the kind of hardness that is unique to plants.

Adou gently poked the surface of the vine armor with his hand. I pondered in my heart: this rattan armor can resist the sharp blade of arrows. The protection is not worse than that of a specific carapace. But it's much lighter than heavy armor. After putting it on, it does not act in the slightest, although the rattan armor is afraid of fire. Moreover, the degree of defense against heavy weapons is not as good as that of heavy armor. But it's just lightweight. On the battlefield, the practicality is much stronger than that of heavy armor.

Speaking of costs. Heavy armor costs a lot of metal. Rattan armor, on the other hand, only requires rattan and handwork. However, it took more than ten or twenty years to make a pair of rattan armor, so in fact, the cost of manufacturing rattan armor is much higher than that of making heavy armor.

"Such a nice thing. It's a shame to burn it down! Adou sighed softly. Just thinking about this simple rattan armor would take more than ten or twenty years to make. Adou couldn't bear to burn it down.

Come to think of it. Adou asked Meng Huo next to him, "Meng Huo." Is there a place called the Valley of the Snake around here? ”

Meng Shu thought for a moment. opened his mouth and said, "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince." From Sanjiang City Road to the south. Indeed, there is a place in the earth called the Valley of the Serpent. The valley is shaped like a long snake. The meandering rocks are lined with light cliffs. And there are no trees. There was a land in front of the valley. Mingta Langdian. ”

"And what is the terrain of this Talangdian?" Adou then asked.

"The terrain of Talangdian is also flat." Meng replied

"Okay, vine armor soldiers, just rely on this snake valley.

……

At this time, the vulture bone is in high spirits.

"Those Wuxi barbarians are nothing more than that, and they can dominate Wuxi for so many years with this ability, in my opinion, they are just a group of earth dogs! It collapsed at the first touch, and he ran away without much fighting! The vulture said happily.

"That's what the king said." Tu'an, the general of the vulture bone next to him, hurriedly agreed.

On the other side, another general Xi Ni said: "King, that Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke is quite powerful, the thorny blade he took looks quite heavy and smashed on his body, it must have broken bones and tendons, and the few people we lost today were all folded in the hands of this Shamoke." ”

"Hmph, he's alone, what are you afraid of! Wait until tomorrow to come and compete with this Shamoko in person. The vulture snorted angrily. The vulture bone is two feet tall and infinitely powerful, and he is a fierce general.

"King, what we encountered today is only the Wuxi barbarian army, which is still a little worse than the Shu army. If you encounter the Shu army tomorrow, you will definitely be much stronger than this Wuxi barbarian army, and you still have to be careful tomorrow. Xi Ni continued.

"What are you afraid of! Our rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable, even if their Shu army comes, what if they are killed! Tuan said.

The vulture bone frowned, and said: "What Xi Ni said is that although our rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable, the Han people are cunning, and our rattan armor is most afraid of fire attacks, so we have to guard against it." You two will carefully survey the terrain tomorrow, and report back to me as soon as you find a place that is conducive to fire attack!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

……

In front of the two armies, the vulture was sitting on an elephant, wearing a set of large rattan armor, holding a long iron tuo in his hand, and was shouting in a bravaful manner. And behind the vultures, tens of thousands of vine armor soldiers were gathering together.

Shamoko pointed to the distant vultures with the thistle bones, and said, "The one riding the elephant over there is the vulture." ”

Next to Shamoke, King Mulu glanced at his mouth disdainfully, and said: "What a vulture bone, but so, look at the broken elephant he is riding, in our Ba Na Cave, it can only be regarded as food!" ”

After Meng surrendered, King Mulu also surrendered to Adou

Ban Na Cave is rich in war elephants, and the level of elephant raising and training in Ba Na Cave is the top. The elephants used in Ba Na Cave are all specially trained war elephants. These war elephants have been selected and trained since birth, and each of them is a very tall and strong male elephant with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

Looking at the entire barbarian land, there are many people who raise elephants and ride elephants, but only Ba Na Dong can train first-class war elephants, as for the elephants raised by other tribes, they can only be regarded as mounts at best. After all, elephants are wild beasts, born with a wild nature, and they are not so easy to tame, and the elephants ridden by the barbarians are mostly found to have docile personalities, rather than fierce war elephants like Ba Na Dong. In the entire barbarian land, there is only the king of Mulu in Ba Na Cave, who can be domesticated to produce war elephants that can fight. The elephant under the crotch of the vulture bone is just an ordinary elephant, far from the level of war elephants required by the Ba Na Cave, and the king of Mulu used is not impressed by the elephant ridden by the vulture bone.

"I said Mulu, your elephants are really good, give me one another day, I will also ride majestic!" Shamoko said with a grin.

Although they are both barbarians, Wuxi does not produce elephants, and these majestic war elephants in Ba Na Cave make Shamoke very envious.

King Mulu spread his hands: "If you want it, take something in exchange!" ”

"I said Mulu, don't be so stingy......"

While the two were bargaining, the vulture bone on the opposite side initiated

"Don't talk about it, you two, they're calling." Yang Feng said next to him.

"Yang Feng, you press the formation first to meet this vulture bone." Shamoko said and rushed forward.

The vulture's hand was holding a large iron top. The people of Ugo are good at weaving rattan armor, but they are not good at smelting metal, and the vulture bone is already powerful, and with its height of two feet, it is difficult to find a blade to take advantage of. Originally, the vulture bone was asked to be made for himself to make a big iron hammer, but the smelting technology of the Ugo people was too poor, and in the end the hammer was beaten into a large iron top, and the vulture bone could only be used improvised.

Shamoko's thistle bone is also a kind of Qimen weapon, and it is all densely covered with steel thorns, and at a glance, you can see that it takes a lot of effort to build, and only people with good craftsmanship can make it.

The vulture bone looked at Sha Ke's weapon, the long steel thorns on it emitted bursts of cold light, and then looked at the broken iron tuo he was holding in his hand, and suddenly felt that his face was dull. For a moment, the vultures had an urge to snatch Shamoko's weapon.

"Vulture bones, take it!" Shamoko shouted, and the thistle bone in his hand swept upward.

Seeing Sha Ke attacking, the vulture bone immediately waved the iron tuo in his hand to meet him. With a "bang", the two weapons collided together, and Mo Ke only felt that the hand holding the iron thistle bone was numb, and he almost didn't hold the blade in his hand.

"That's a lot of strength!" After losing the first move, Moko immediately turned and fled.

Shamoko is also very strong and poor, and he rarely meets someone who is stronger than himself. But the vultures in front of me are an outlier. The vulture is tall and has natural divine power to tear live bears. And when the confrontation just started, the vulture bone was riding on top of the elephant, and the position was relatively high, and the weapon that Shamoko wanted to hit the vulture bone must be a bottom-up attack, and the weapon of the vulture bone was attacking from the top down because of gravity, the acceleration of swinging downward is definitely much greater than that of swinging upward, so in the confrontation just now, the vulture bone took a big advantage.

"The thief will be repaired! Let's talk about weapons! The vultures shouted and rushed forward.

Sha Ke, who fled in front, secretly said in his heart, people say "leave your life", how come this vulture bone has become a weapon to leave here? When Shamoko secretly looked back at the black and tattered iron tuo in the vulture bone's hand, and then looked at the shiny iron thistle bone in his hand, Shamoke instantly understood that the vulture bone had taken a fancy to the blade in his hand.

The blade is the second life for the general, especially some famous generals, who value the blade in their hands more. Now that the vulture wants to take Shamoko's blade, where will Shamoko give it to him. At the same time, in that fight just now, Shamoko also felt that the vulture bone was stronger than himself, and the head-to-head confrontation Shamoke was not necessarily the opponent of the vulture bone, and then thought that the vulture bone wanted to rob his blade, Shamoke's pace was a little faster, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides opened up the distance.

At the same time, the Shu army also began to retreat, and Tu'an and Xi Ni, who were in command of the vine armor soldiers in the back, saw that the vultures rushed up, and hurriedly commanded the vine armor soldiers to rush forward.

The men and horses on both sides chased one and fled the other, and finally came to the vicinity of the Snake Valley.

The vulture naturally understood that the vine armor soldiers in his hands were most afraid of fire attacks, so when marching all the way, he tried to avoid some places where there were more trees and weeds, and chose to march in some open areas or near rivers. The trees in the Snake Valley are not very lush, and there is no grass in the Snake Valley, so the vulture bones rushed into the Snake Valley without the slightest hesitation.

"Brothers, follow me!" The vulture bone took the lead and rushed into the Snake Valley.

The terrain in the Snake Valley has nine bends and eighteen bends, as if it is a snake, so after the vulture bone enters the Snake Valley, Shamoke turns a few corners slightly, and the vulture bone loses the trace of Shamoke.

The vulture bone looked around, and found that there was not a trace of grass and trees in this snake valley, and even the cliffs on both sides were bare and grassless, and the vulture bone looked at the ground by himself, and then smelled the smell of the air, and did not find the smell of flammable materials such as fire oil and saltpeter.

"There's no problem here, brothers, follow me!" As soon as the vulture gave an order, the vine armor soldiers immediately rushed into the Snake Valley.

When the vine armor soldiers entered the Snake Valley, they found that there was no grass around, and everyone's hearts were immediately relieved, and they rushed into the Snake Valley without the slightest concern.

When all the rattan armor rushed into the Snake Valley, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the valley mouth suddenly fell on the crosswood and stones, blocking the valley mouth.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" The vulture screamed, and hurriedly sent someone to check back, and after a while, Tu'an reported that the mouth of the Coiling Snake Valley had been sealed, and if you want to get out, I am afraid it will take a day or two to carry the horizontal wood and stones blocked at the mouth of the valley.

"The king doesn't have to worry, there is no grass and trees in this valley, so there is no need to worry about fire attacks, if the Shu army dares to attack, they just give him a good taste. Let's first order someone to move away the rocks blocking the intersection. Xi Ni next to him hurriedly persuaded.

The vulture nodded, as long as the Shu army did not use fire to attack, then the vulture bone did not have the slightest need to fear. In the eyes of the vulture bones, the rattan armor soldiers in their hands are invulnerable, and the place in this snake valley is narrow, and the army cannot be spread out during the battle, and the advantage of the Shu army is gone, on the contrary, in such a terrain, these invulnerable rattan armor soldiers still occupy some advantages.

At that moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound in front of me, mixed with the neighing of some wild beasts.

The vultures had been living in the wilderness for a long time, and immediately heard that the beast that was being called was an elephant. And it's a lot of elephants.

"What's going on?" The vultures were stunned for a moment, and then Tu'an, who was beside him, said, "Tu'an, you go and find out what is going on with Fang immediately." ”

"The last will obey." After Tu'an finished speaking, he led a few people and ran forward.

As the elephant's louder and louder hiss came, a sense of foreboding rose in the vulture's heart, and soon, this ominous feeling became a reality.

Tu'an's cry came from afar: "King elephant, so many elephants!" Then I saw Tu'an running back with a disgraced face.

"What's going on in Tu'andi, why is it so messy?" The vulture asked.

"Oh no, oh no, run, there are all elephants in front of you, and there are nearly a hundred of them!"

"Nearly a hundred elephants!" The vultures immediately realized what was wrong.

In the Nanban rainforest, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts, and sometimes a small insect can be highly venomous. But for the barbarians, these poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are not invincible. And in the minds of the Southern Barbarians, there is only one thing that cannot be defeated, and that is the herd

The elephant is a social animal, and the strength of a single elephant itself is very strong, no animal in the jungle dares to provoke them, and after the herd of elephants, no one dares to provoke.

Elephants are huge in size and naturally have a lot of flesh on their bodies, so many barbarians will hunt elephants as food, and at the same time, the barbarians also deeply understand one thing, if they encounter herds of elephants when hunting, it is better to capture far away.

Hearing that more than 100 elephants came, the vulture bone was shocked, but soon the vulture bone's heart settled down again, and there were 30,000 people in his hands, even if a hundred elephants came, 300 people fought one, are you afraid that you won't be able to win!

"Don't be afraid, we have 30,000 people, I'm afraid those beasts won't make it!" As soon as the vulture's voice fell, he saw that at the corner far ahead, the elephant had already appeared in sight.

"This elephant is so big!" The vulture opened his mouth in surprise, the elephant that appeared in front of him was one size bigger than the elephant he was riding under his crotch, looking at the snow-white tusks glowing cold, what surprised the vultures even more was that there was a thick layer of leather armor on the elephant's body. And on top of the elephant sat a person, it was the king of Mulu.

It is not uncommon for barbarians to ride elephants, and at this time, the vulture bone is only slightly envious, the other party's mount is better than his own, but everything that appears next makes the vulture a little dumbfounded.

Every elephant is so strong and covered with leather armor, with a murderous look, and what makes the vulture bones even more amazing is that there are people sitting on top of each elephant!

"It's magnificent!" Brute sighed softly. Elephants eat a lot of food, even in the Ugo country of vulture bones, there are not a few of them, and the other party has made hundreds of them at once, and the vulture bones will naturally be surprised.

"King, I remember, they are the people of the Ba Na Cave, and the war elephants in the Ba Na Cave are very powerful!" Xi Ni said next to him.

"War elephants? No wonder it looks different! ”

"Woo ......" was here, and the horn of the attack on Ba Na-dong sounded.

Then, with the sound of the earth shaking, hundreds of heads pounced on the vine armor soldiers in front.

"Brothers, follow me!" The vulture bone shouted, and the vine armor soldiers behind him immediately swarmed up.

The narrow roads in the Snake Valley can only allow more than 100 people to walk side by side at the same time, and although there are a lot of vine armor soldiers, they cannot form a formation.

Nearly thirty elephants roared in the front row and rushed towards the vine armor soldiers. The contact area of more than 100 people against more than 20 elephants rushing in front of them can be imagined.

Although elephants are not known for their speed, they run with all their might, and the speed is still not slow, and the impact force is enough to easily knock people away. Although the rattan armor can block sharp arrows and arrows, it is invulnerable, but it can't stop the powerful impact here, and the flesh and blood of the human flesh collide with the elephant sprinting at full speed, and the result can be imagined.

In fact, if it is on the plain, 30,000 people besieging a pure elephant without infantry on one side, it is completely possible to win. However, in this snake valley, there seem to be many rattan armor soldiers, but the battle with the elephant is always only more than 100 people in the front row.

Moreover, the elephant encountered by the vine armor soldiers this time was not an ordinary wild elephant, but an elite war elephant after special training, so no matter what aspect it was, the vine armor soldiers did not have the slightest advantage.

"Click!" The body of a rattan armor soldier was trampled by an elephant, and he suddenly broke his bones and tendons and died, and when the human chest was completely trampled deep by the elephant, the rattan armor was still intact.

The elephant was covered with thick leather armor, and the rattan armor soldier's weapon was not too sharp, and it would take several slashes in the same place to break through the heavy leather armor. Even if the elephant is injured by luck, but in the end, the injured elephant is in pain. After going berserk, the elephant naturally did not attack the same kind around him, but vented all his grievances on the vine armor soldiers in front.

This has never been the case with the vultures. Although the vulture bone also knew that the weapons of the vine armor soldiers were not very sharp, the people who had been fighting the vine armor soldiers all the time were nearby barbarians, and the weapons could only be average. Moreover, people have the strength of elephants, and elephants are wearing heavy leather armor all over their bodies, which has no effect in the slightest, and if people are wearing such heavy leather armor all over their bodies, I am afraid that it is very difficult to even walk.

Eventually, the rattan armor began to retreat. Fighting with these beasts in human flesh and blood is not worth it for everyone.

On the cliff next to him, Adou pointed to the vulture bone sitting on top of the war elephant and asked, "This vulture is hundreds of steps away from here, which of you can shoot him?" ”

"The last general is willing to give it a try!" Wen Qin immediately stood up and said.

"The last general is willing to give it a try!" Shamoko then said.

"The last general is willing to give it a try!"

"The last general is also willing!"

A group of generals who were good at archery immediately called for battle.

"Okay, one person and one arrow, all of them are on fire, and they will shoot him together in a while!" Adou said with a smile.

All the soldiers immediately bent their bows and arrows, and at the same time set the arrows on fire.

"Shoot me!" Adou gave an order, and more than a dozen rockets went straight to the vulture.

The vulture bone sits on the elephant, the target is the largest, although the distance is relatively far, but dare to come out in front of Adou to show off the archery, who is not a good shooter, at this distance, to shoot a big living person, in the eyes of these good archery generals, it is not difficult.

Sensing the danger coming, the vulture hurriedly swung the iron tuo in his hand to block the arrows. In normal times, the vultures might disdain this, after all, this vine armor can block sharp arrows, but now all the shots are rockets, and if they stick to themselves, they will immediately catch fire.

After a few crisp sounds of ",......", all the incoming rockets were swept away by the vultures.

"Shameless boy, you dare to sneak attack me!" The vulture shouted and remembered, and at this moment, a rocket suddenly flew in, and the vulture bone did not pay attention, and the rocket hit the vine armor on the vulture bone.

"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Shamoko put away his bow and said to Adou.

Adou nodded with satisfaction, this Shamoke's archery is really powerful, so many people can't shoot, only Shamoke can shoot, no wonder in the battle of Yiling, Gan Ning, who can shoot to death with excellent archery skills, it seems that Gan Ning's death is not unjust!
