Chapter 44: The Elephant Army Rat Formation
Thousands of miles away at the border, the army officially engaged in war with the Moro Kingdom, because of the queen's strange formation, the first battle was won. It only took a few days to drive the Moro Kingdom out of the territory of the Celestial Empire and recover the city. When the whole country of the Celestial Empire was celebrating, news came that the queen and the regent decided to send troops to Moro in order to punish the Moro Kingdom for invading our Celestial Empire, and demanded that the king cede land and pay compensation for this unjust war.
The king of Moro was furious and ordered the general Heck to be the commander, commanding the elephant army and cavalry, and officially started a war with the Celestial Empire.
In the military tent, Xiao Mojue's face was gloomy, and he coldly glanced at the advent of the audience, and spoke majestically.
"What? All donkey skills are exhausted! ”
Sinan secretly glanced at the queen who was in deep thought, stood up, and said in a worried tone.
"The reason why we signed a peace treaty with Moro over the years and turned a blind eye to casual harassment of the border is that the other side is invincible to the elephant army, and if our army attacks rashly, it will only kill and wound countless people."
"No matter how powerful the elephant army is, there are natural enemies, so why not use the rat formation."
Feng Zhuo, who has always been silent, spoke.
Ming Yuanhou glanced at Feng Zhuo mockingly.
"Those elephant soldiers are specially trained, they are not afraid of fire, and they will not be confused because of rats, not to mention, rats are not natural enemies of elephants."
Feng Zhuo was robbed of white by Sinan, and sat down expressionlessly.
"No, what General Feng said is extremely true."
Ling Yuexi stood up suddenly, and said confidently: "No matter how well-trained an elephant is, it is nothing more than the word 'animal'. 'A swarm of ants can break the embankment, and a swarm of rats can break through an army of elephants. Marquis Mingyuan, immediately ordered someone to quietly catch 10,000 mice, and the palace will use it to defeat the enemy! ”
Sinan also heard that the little queen didn't pay attention to the regent at all, and when she saw it today, she was sure enough. It's just that he is a person who knows how to measure, so he immediately looked at Xiao Mojue and waited for the order.
After the night of the sneak attack, Xiao Mojue still admired Ling Yuexi's quick thinking, ability to be shocking and good at arranging formations, he glanced at Ling Yuexi lazily and gave a military order. He also wanted to know how Ling Yuexi would break the formation, including all the soldiers under his tent, who were all looking forward to it.
In order not to let the enemy suspect him, Xiao Mojue personally led his troops to battle, but every time the elephant army attacked, Xiao Mojue never loved to fight, and in this way, the stalemate between the two sides has passed for five days.
At the garrison of the army of Moro, Heck drank and had merry with his soldiers. All he did now was to defend the gates of Moro with an army of ironclad elephants. No matter how brave Xiao Mojue is, no matter how scheming the queen of the Celestial Empire is, she can't pass the second level. The stalemate between the two sides, the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be to the Celestial Empire. At that time, the grain and grass are far away and cannot be supplied on time, and the army will be disheartened, and it will be enough to win by surprise.
"General, the courier of the concubine has arrived."
Heck was visibly displeased when he heard the word "concubine".
I secretly thought in my heart that I was not the cowardly prince, and I had to obey the words of a concubine in everything when I fought and led the army. The victory she had previously made with her was nothing more than a fluke for Heck.
It's just that the concubine is about to be favored, and the king obeys this, and Heke is not convinced and does not dare to snub the messenger.
The letter said to be careful of the Celestial Empire using rats to break the formation. Although the elephant army is trained, if the rat carries the toxin, once it burrows into the trunk, the consequences are unimaginable.
Woman short-sighted!
Heck said a word of disdain in his heart, and replied to the messenger to reassure the king and princess, and she would be on guard.
Heck never imagined that on the night after the messenger left, his elephant army would completely collapse.
It was still Xiao Mojue who personally led the army to attack Moro at night.
Heck had already been prepared, and immediately led the cavalry to chase after him, and blocked the way, so that Xiao Mojue could only retreat from the Wind Valley. And in the Valley of the Listening Wind, there is an ironclad elephant army that ambushes him.
