Volume 5 Chapter 45 The Elephant Tide is Surging
The remaining Xuanyi tribal army was scattered at the mouth of the valley and the hills, closely monitoring the situation in the valley and preparing to respond at any time.
Fortunately, it is a valley surrounded by hills, but the terrain is not very complicated, even if there are hills on both sides, the inside is still flat, and the view is very good.
Looking at the Dongyi front army, which was already running out of the estimated ten miles away, Ji Fa was anxiously waiting for the spies to report the news, and muttered: "Alas, it would be nice to have a telescope!" ”
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Fei Lian to be so witty, he sent tens of thousands of people to fight with the Dongyi people, how could he have the manpower to arrange an ambush here?
However, no matter how you say that sentence, what you least want to happen, it prefers to happen! And this kind of bad thing often comes worse than expected!
Thundered~
In the distant sky in the middle of the valley, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly sounded, and then a black line emerged!
In just a few moments, the wriggling black line had already swept in dark clouds, heading straight for the Dongyi soldiers who were pursuing forward.
Ji Fa Huo Ran raised his head and squinted at the sky in the distance!
I saw that the black lines that were rolling around the sky gradually turned into black dots, and then became about the size of ants, and soon became the size of rabbits, and in a blink of an eye, I found that it was actually a row of giant elephants with long tusks! There were also people sitting on it, looking at the proportions of the man and the elephant, each giant elephant was estimated to be four or five meters high, rolling in a violent pace, and the huge body and so many numbers made it feel that the ground was trembling from afar, and it was becoming more and more violent.
"Not good!" , Witnessing this situation, Ji Fa couldn't help but gasp, and then felt a little bitter in his heart, it seems that he has lost this time!
No matter how much he pondered, he never expected that the merchant army actually hid such a huge giant elephant army, and he could feel the irresistible momentum of the surging tide from afar!
If it is the merchant army who is ambushed, then there is a lot of strength, but it is all these guys with rough skin and thick flesh, arrows can't be killed, and a single foot can definitely kill a large area, not to mention that there are still warriors sitting on those elephants, holding bows and arrows to wait for work, constantly pulling bows and arrows, the scene is unbearable to look at.
Ji Fa couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to himself, at this moment, I'm afraid that Zhong Chou, who is at the forefront, will probably cry!
What to do?
Ji Fa quickly woke up from the initial shock and began to think quickly about how to deal with it, in this case, defeat is definitely defeat, but only if there are people, there is still a chance, as for how to defeat the other party at this time, unless there is a miracle, even if he has three heads and six arms, he is only afraid that he will be weak.
At this time, there is no need to say hello to Shaofei in front of them and let them retreat quickly, there is such a big movement ahead, I believe they will not be unaware, they will definitely have to retreat, and the Dongyi soldiers who rushed to the front, Ji Fa no longer expects to be able to escape much.
But even if Ji Fa and the others were at the mouth of the valley, far away from those giant elephant corps, they couldn't be said to be safe.
According to the speed of those giant elephants, it must be impossible to run, although the speed does not seem to be fast, but the steps are big, and the jumping and jumping are not much slower than the Dongyi soldiers who are running wildly without their lives, not to mention that there is no obstacle on the smooth road from here to Huaishui, if you really want to escape with a raft, so many people will definitely be too late, you must block it!
How to block? Ji Fa was a little anxious.
Ji Fa was so anxious that he turned around, and after throwing a certain light at the wild grass at the mouth of the valley, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way.
Looking at the many soldiers who were still stunned, Ji Fa was anxious!
"Don't be stunned, come on, hurry, hurry up and pick up dry wood and flammable things with me, hurry up!" , Ji Fa shouted at the Xuan soldiers beside him.
The Xuanyi soldiers suddenly woke up from a dream, and hurriedly looked around in a panic to find what Ji Fa said, at this time it was a race against time, and no matter what they picked up, as long as it could catch fire and smoke, they would all take it back, and then pile it on both sides of the valley according to Ji Fa's command.
Dozens of soldiers were also urgently arranged to make clothes and fishing nets, ropes, strips of cloth, and other things that were more likely to catch fire, and wrapped them in wood to make temporary torches for a while.
Ji Fa also wanted to dig some trenches and other things at the mouth of the valley to see if he could make some simple traps and try to see if he could affect the giant elephants, but it was too late, so he could only pin his hopes on torches.
While he was busy, he still didn't forget to observe the situation in the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the Dongyi soldiers who rushed to the front had been hit by the giant elephant and the giant elephant soldier's bow and arrow, and they were crushed.
From the momentum of the pursuit just now to the defeat in the blink of an eye, it was just a short meal, and it was really too fast!
The elephant tide was surging, the sound shook the earth, and the Dongyi soldiers had no intention of fighting, let alone pursuing, so they turned around and fled wildly towards the road they came, and it was the pale Shaofei and the Yiyi soldiers he led who escaped from the valley mouth first.
Ji Faben's arrangement for him was to respond, but seeing that it was also aimed at the army, now seeing these behemoths, Shaofei, who knew that he couldn't resist it, retreated decisively and rushed out of the valley first.
"You're just in time!" , Ji Fa was originally very anxious and frustrated, but when he saw Shaofei coming out first, he was immediately overjoyed, and regardless of Shaofei's anxious expression, he quickly gave the same order to him and his team, that is, to do everything possible to quickly find something that could be burned.
"Childe, what's the use of you looking for these? Can we stop the elephant soldiers of the merchant army? Shaofei is really an excellent general, although he doesn't understand why Ji Fa did this, but he still meticulously carried out Ji Fa's orders, but only asked Ji Fa.
"What? Obstruct? Ji Fa was also busy putting on torches, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "It's impossible to block it, but we can find a way to create some chaos, so that we can have a chance to escape."
"That's right", Ji Fa said this, suddenly thought of something again, and then shouted at his own soldiers: "Quick, get those horn men, bone whistlers and other soldiers who can blow sounds together as much as possible, it will be useful to stay for a while, and don't forget to equip each soldier with a few anti-arrow cloaks."
The anti-arrow cloak is actually not a high-end thing, there is no armor like a merchant soldier, the anti-arrow suit is a thick shield woven from bamboo or grass, all kinds of materials are available, and it is also Ji Fa's masterpiece in Dongyi.
At this moment, no matter what it is, as long as it is useful, it will come in handy as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Ji Fa always maintained that calmness whether he was victorious or facing defeat, and although the time was extremely urgent, he still arranged various countermeasures in an orderly manner.
Yes, even if you lose, you have to fight, and you have never given up this statement, and you will not do it!
