Chapter 137: Can the Elephant Array Fight?

When the first cement pier that met the requirements appeared, the spring ploughing was nearing its end, and the stone beak had returned from the killer whale tribe at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

After Lin Ji finished looking at the cement pier and went out of the city, he saw a young man with inverted triangle muscles in his upper body, dark skin, and a big bow on his back rushing towards him.

Lin Ji stretched out his arms, and the dun mu beside him had already gone out to hug the young man. Lin Ji stepped forward to hug the two of them and slapped the stone beak on the back a few times.

"I've grown so much, isn't it just about building muscles?"

The stone beak punched the chest of the dun wood and the forest trace, and said, "I'm a thousand-commander, and you still say that I, you're not idle, right?" ”

Dunmu is still short, but he will exercise when he has nothing to do with Lin Ji, and now he is full of muscles, and his body size is close to that of boxing champion Tyson. Compared with the two of them, Lin Ji can only be said to be "slender", but in fact, there is no trace of fat on his body.

A few people turned into good young people in the blink of an eye, which made the people around them sigh a lot.

"How is the red monkey?" Lin Ji asked.

"Okay, I'm about to give birth to him." The stone beak replied casually, but his eyes were fixed on the city wall in front of him: "How did you do it?" I worked hard with the vermilion monkey to wipe out the Shijing tribe in winter, and I was in a hurry to come back to show you. I didn't expect you guys to be playing this kind of walled city. Zhu Monkey knew that he had to cry angrily. ”

"What are you crying about? As long as he has enough food, and the craftsmen here come back to practice, I will send him over and let him build one as well. Lin Ji said.

Shi Beak said indifferently: "I knew that I wouldn't come back, he said let me be the captain of ten thousand years." I just don't have that many people for me, or I won't come back. ”

"Dunmu, beat up this pretending guy, and then let him make up for the lessons he missed this year. It's been a year of lawlessness outside. Lin Ji called casually, ignored the stone beak, and went to the people behind.

Among the entourage, Dai Jia also returned. This old man who likes to wear a turtle shell on his chest and is very sorry for his life has been made into an iron master by Lin Ji. Now that the iron ore has begun to be mined, Lin Ji doesn't want to teach another iron master again, so he asks people to get him back.

The news was brought out by the last boat last fall, and one winter should be enough to wear armor to bring out a few more experienced apprentices over there, and it should be enough to deal with some things over there.

The turtle shell on Dai Jia's chest was missing, but judging by the stitch patterns of the clothes on his chest, there should have been a large inner pocket on his chest, apparently with a thin iron plate stuffed into his chest.

Lin Ji went over and knocked on his chest, and sure enough, there was a sound of knocking iron: "It's the road, how is your body?" ”

Dai Jia said respectfully: "There is a sailboat, the journey is smooth, and it is not hard." ”

The young man in front of him is the sea god who can take them out to sea and go down to the sea to ambush whales, and he must respect it. Now looking at the big city that rose out of thin air in front of him, he knew that this sea god was afraid that it was not just as simple as being able to go to the sea, and he admired it even more in his heart.

Lin Ji said: "The city is safe, you don't need to bring this iron plate in the future." ”

Dai Jia's old face flushed: "There is no danger all the way over, I'll take it down." ”

As he spoke, he really took out a thin iron plate from his clothes, which was still a kind of white iron plate in the iron material given by Lin Ji.

It was his instinct to carry it with him. But the tribes that came all the way were almost very friendly because they had ships from here to trade with them for a year, and the people who had asked Lin Ji to pick up Ji Lin had also returned. His iron plate is really in vain. Along the way, we didn't encounter a single battle.

led everyone into the city, and the roadside vegetable fields and farmlands have grown all kinds of green seedlings, which makes people feel comfortable.

On the west side of the road, an open space was set aside as a playground for elephant soldiers, where sergeants were riding elephants to train with infantry, and some were practicing archery on the back of elephants with newly made riding bows.

People who wore armor and had no or rare mammoths were naturally amazed, and the stone beak, which was known for hunting, looked at it and focused on the tactical effect: "What are those people doing with elephants?" Can this be fought? And those short bows, can you shoot people? ”

The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River made the stone beak a lot more lively, and following the Zhu Monkey to lead the tribe also improved his vision a lot.

Lin Ji said: "Why don't you go in and try it and see if this elephant array has any effect?" ”

"Who's afraid?" Stonebeak said, taking the bow off his back and turning over into the wooden guardrail.

"Hey!" Dunmu felt as if something was wrong, and the matter of standing in front of the elephant array with a single bow was that he didn't dare, or that no one dared at present. He couldn't understand where Stone Beak was so bold.

Could it be that Stone Beak has improved so much in the past year, even more powerful than those barbarian guards here? Dunmu was skeptical.

"I'm going to show you my own bow and my peerless archery today. I'm not the same stone beak that I used to shoot incorrectly. The stone beak patted the bow in his hand in the wooden fence, and in full view of everyone, he bypassed the elephant formation that was stepping in, but ran towards the practice of riding and shooting.

Crowd outside the fence: "......"

On the side of practicing riding and shooting, Yu Ji just shot a three-arrow target, which attracted a lot of cheers from the people around him.

Suddenly, the sound of pruning and breaking through the air was heard, and Yuji hurriedly shrank his head into the elephant's shoulder socket. With a sweep of her eyes, she seemed to see three arrows shooting over her head, and also on the target she shot, but all three arrows hit the red heart.

"Enemy attack!" Yuji shouted, drew his arrow, drew his bow, and aimed in the direction of the stone beak.

The elephant soldiers beside her immediately drew their bows and headed in this direction.

Stone Beak hurriedly raised his bow: "Don't get me wrong, it's me, Xiaoyuji." ”

Yuji jumped down from the elephant by stepping on the tusks and reprimanded loudly: "In the training ground, shooting arrows without notification is equivalent to an enemy attack!" If it weren't for the fact that you had just come back from a long battle, I would have shot you. Moreover, who is Xiaoyu and? I'm the centurion here! ”

Stone Beak put down his hand and looked at Yu Ji with a smile in a hook sportswear. I haven't seen it for more than a year, and the rain and the size have risen a lot, which seems to be down and generous, and the stone beak is a little unexpected.

After looking at it twice, Shi Beak smiled and said, "Report to the centurion, your archery skills are good, I want to compete with you, okay?" ”

"Okay. Who's afraid of you? In the future, you will have to report to the training ground like this, do you know? ”

……

Lin Ji saw that the stone beak was playing well, so he left Dunmu to wait for him, and he took the others to arrange a place to live.

As he left, he glanced at the training site of the elephant step, and he was also a little distressed.

Now that the elephant step training has been in place for several months, everyone else will be training with the military.

The training here is to erect a stake straw figure in front, tie a wooden root to the ivory, let the elephant sweep down the stake, and the person who follows the elephant to cut down the straw man, and then let the elephant maintain a certain degree of cooperation with the human, and so on.

Lin Ji felt that there was no problem with this method. The cavalry or tank infantry training in later movies is basically like this.

But many leaders of the tribe have seen it, and they have shown the same worry as the stone beak: Does this elephant array have actual combat capabilities? Against a living person or a living beast, what is the combat power?

The Tiger Barbarians had killed so many mammoths that they weren't really optimistic about this tactic. This even affected the confidence of some of the leaders in this "stupid" tactic.

Lin Ji felt that the best way was to verify it in actual combat.

But it's harder. At this time, it is not wise to provoke the deer. At the same time, in the south of Gouhu, the tiger barbarians could not even find a hostile tribe.

The idea of actual combat had to be shelved. There is an invincible appearance of a master.

Lin Ji felt that if he really wanted to fight, he could only wait for some time to be free, and take the elephant team to the forest to the west to find those more backward tribes inside. But now it is clear that there is not enough time. Because the more recent tribes are now basically attached.

After arranging Dai Jiao and the others here, Stone Beak rushed to Lin Ji. He wants to marry Yuji.
