Chapter 0654: Mekong River Tragedy
At present, the 200,000 war elephants in the Great Loop are basically anarchic. The elephant soldiers on the backs of these war elephants have not fallen or fallen, and they have already found an opportunity to slip off the elephant's backs by themselves. Elephants in estrus are extremely terrifying, plus so many elephants in estrus together, crazy plus elephant crazy, crazy and crazy, who has the courage to wade into this crazy water.
Now, the 200,000 war elephants in the Dahetao are driven by instinct. After being frustrated by the artificial river, the elephants turned to the Mekong. Of the 200,000 elephants, eight are trapped in the artificial river, and many others have come to test the Mekong River.
The upper reaches of the Mekong River are the Lancang River in China; In the northwest of Yongtian is the upper reach, from here to Pakse is the middle reach, now, nearly 200,000 war elephants want to go through this section of the river valley is wide, the water flow is calm in the middle of the river.
The Mekong River, before the elephants enter the water, flows quietly, shimmering with sparkling waves, reflecting the beauty of the river in early autumn. The water shimmered in the sunlight, and among the alders and willows on both banks, the flying stars splashed and flew around the loop, passing quietly with speed and grace.
The Mekong River is 14 kilometers wide at its widest point, 3 kilometers wide and more than 200 meters narrow. Elephants have very small eyes and poor eyesight, and without the guidance of elephant soldiers and slaves, they instinctively and with a keen sense of smell are looking for a place to return home, to find a place to have food and grass. The elephant is intelligent and, to some extent, timid about the unknown. For the wide Mekong River, they no longer have the madness of yesterday when they were called by the mother elephant, on the contrary, because of the artificial river, the war elephants are very cautious and carefully wade into the riverbed.
This section of the Mekong River is 5 meters at the shallowest point, more than 8 meters deep at the bottom, and the average tall elephant can reach 4 meters at the shoulder, so they can not escape the fate of being entangled in wire loops when they cross the Mekong River, whether they have waded in shallow water or swam in deep water.
The head elephant among the elephants is definitely a brave man, but also a wise and responsible elder. Herds of elephants crossing the Mekong River are moving forward in a wedge-shape, led by the heads of two groups of elephants, and these two war elephant heads, after training in battle formations and coordinated operations, are more organized and have a bigger picture than ordinary wild elephants. Now, the two heads are moving forward, but they don't know that they are approaching death.
Now, the first elephant first felt the wire loop. This head elephant is sneaking forward, its long nose in front of the way to feel the first foreign object, it habitually wants to roll and shake it, but how do you know that the roll is rolled, and it can't be shaken off!
The long trunk of the second elephant that followed it did not feel unusual, because when its trunk stretched and contracted, the wire loop of its expansion space was torn and sunk by the first elephant. So, the second elephant continued to swim forward. But your nose can go over the wire loop, and your long pointed tusks, your massive body, and your frequently scribbling legs will not be able to escape the wire loop. After a moment of confusion, the elephant's legs became entangled in the wire loop, unable to paddle, struggled a bit, exhausted, unable to resist, and began to sink.
Now, the body of the first elephant has not been entangled in a wire loop, but its trunk is entangled in a wire loop. This continuous wire loop, when the second elephant sinks, also sinks the nose of the first head wrapped around the wire loop. The nose was torn off the bottom of the river, and the elephant's head followed, so the first elephant was pressed alive by the water, and his consciousness became more and more blurred, choking on the water, causing the horn arch to reflex, and after a while, he suffocated to death.
The second elephant was dying when it sank, unable to move its legs, and its body was rolling, while its trunk was grabbing air; The first elephant struggled even more violently before suffocating to death, and the body of six or seven tons was reversed in an angular arch, one against the other, and the movement was huge. So, at that time, everywhere in the two elephants, the water splashed, the water surged, the miserable sound, the blood drops splashed, the calm Mekong River became turbulent, and the middle of the river rolled restlessness and dying struggle! ……
In the sky, a cloud floated in, obscuring the sun, and a shadow was cast, foreshadowing a sad outcome. The rest of the elephants were stunned and stopped moving. After a few minutes, after a few blood bubbles, the churning water gradually calmed down, and the bodies of the two elephants floated to the surface of the river. The full belly of the elephant, the swollen elephant body, the scarred trunk, the dead elephant eyes, and the bleeding strangulation marks are shocking and cringe. At this point, the war elephants screamed for a while at their fallen comrades, then turned back to the shore, gave up the initiative, and prepared to stay, resigned to fate. The elephant's memory is super strong, and these elephants remember that some elephant friends are on the expedition together, and they stopped in the middle of the road, hoping that they would come to us, so the mournful elephant cry came one after another, calling for friendly elephants, calling for brothers and fathers not far away, calling for hope......
Now, let's take a look at the other life forms in the Great Loop. The main army of war elephants in the Dahetao has been crazy for more than 30 hours, and after the failure of the escape plan from the surrounding rivers, they all retreated into the hinterland of the Dahetao listlessly, sitting on the ground with no strength and screaming one after another. In this process, in the process of these war elephants eating grass and becoming poisonous, the cows, horses, donkeys and mules of the other auxiliary soldiers are also herbivores, and they have also eaten some of the grass contaminated by aphrodisiacs, so they are also in heat, but in their formation, there are females and males, so their needs are digested by themselves. There is really some imbalance, horses and donkeys, horses and mules, horses and cows, and they are also improvised. It's the best pastime when these animals are making do with their housework, round after round, round after lap, round and Under the concentration of drugs that were supposed to deal with elephants, these livestock were aphrodisiac by high energy, and after this day and night, these livestock are now like those elephants, physically and mentally exhausted, hungry, and paralyzed into groups of people who fell to the ground and gasped. These animals are not as thoughtful as elephants, they can't think of escaping, they are really exhausted, so they lie on the ground and sigh and accept their fate.
When these animals are wild to their heart's content, when they are tumbling and squeezing, when they are desperate, when they are endless, when they are mad, when they are mad, the people who used to ride on them, and stand beside them, have fled. These JŪN people in the two countries, including Wu Liugui and Li Changjie, are now poor people who are hungry and cold. They now believe that this big river loop is the purgatory of the beast world, and we humans are redundant here, but if they want to let these people escape, these people don't dare. They didn't understand what kind of obstacles the war elephants would be prevented from escaping. They regretted dying, this little golden diamond is not a half-human and half-god, but a half-ghost and half-god, they winced and stared wide-eyed, looking at the other side of the river, looking, why is our logistics force gone? Those auxiliaries? What about the grain and grass? Those cavalrymen?
Wu Liugui is still thinking, I still have 50,000 elephant soldiers in ambush, I have a lot of scouts running, they should know our embarrassment, why can't they come to rescue us?
Li Changjie was thinking, I still have 60,000 elephant soldiers ready to fight the ambush, my scouts have been very diligent, don't they know our current situation? Why don't you come over and help? ……
