Volume 5 Chapter 46 Defeat Huaishui
The elephant herd is getting closer!
Pig-shaped, long-snouted, pot-bellied, four-hoofed, tailed!
Ji Fa, who was far away in Taniguchi, could clearly see the culprit who made them fail this time, and gave an accurate description in the most concise words!
No one is unaware of the horror of giant elephants, and even though they look stupid and slow, this kind of guy who is already at the top of the food chain on land is really difficult to deal with.
There are no natural predators, and even the legendary statement that elephants are afraid of rats is actually nonsense, even if it is true, where can we find so many rats at this time?
What's more, the deployment of the merchant army is not only like this, every thing like a saddle is tied to the back, and there are soldiers who can shoot arrows sitting on it, and from time to time they draw arrows and shoot an arrow at the ground, which is really invincible and invincible.
Taking people in front of the block is really a response to the sentence mantis arm as a car! So Ji Fa didn't think about using people to resist at all.
No matter what kind of preparation is insufficient, I can only do my best, hoping to have some effect.
After a while, most of the Dongyi soldiers who were defeated by the elephant herd had already rushed from the valley, and it was estimated that they would soon reach the mouth of the valley, and dozens of meters behind them, closely following the elephant herd.
Ji Fa stopped what he was doing and stared carefully into the distance, ready to give orders at any time, but at this glance, he made a new discovery.
I saw that farther back from the elephant herd, at some point, rows of large flags appeared, each of which was held by a soldier, and was coming unhurriedly in the direction of the valley mouth. And those under the banner, there are several carriages, although the faces on the carriages are not clear for the time being, but it can be judged from the surrounding stars holding the moon-like posture, it is definitely not an ordinary person.
Is it Fei Lian?
Ji Fa was pondering there when he heard someone next to him exclaim
"Di Xin, it's Di Xin! Didn't you say there was still a long way to go, I didn't expect him to arrive so soon! ”
"Fei Lian is also there, he is with Di Xin!"
……
Di Xin, Ji Fa was suddenly startled, and then all kinds of tastes came to his heart, he stared at the direction where Di Xin came, maybe because he was too hard, his eyes were a little sour.
The Dongyi soldiers who fled from the valley finally rushed out of the valley, and the screams and lamentations were endless, so that Ji Fa woke up from the trance of indulging in hatred, knowing that this was not the best time to take revenge, it was better to take care of the immediate matters first, so he didn't look at the distance anymore, raised his right hand high, and then waved it suddenly.
"Ignition"
Countless torches were thrown onto the large and small fires that had been hastily piled up, and in an instant flames rose into the sky, blocking the way out from the valley mouth.
The fires piled up at the mouth of the valley did succeed in delaying the route of the merchant army's attack, those elephant herds faced the fire and smoke, despite the constant urging of the beast taming soldiers, but the nature of the animals was helpless, some began to circle in place, some ran to the sides, and even some of the giant elephants that rushed to the front, were startled by the sudden fire that rose into the sky, turned around and rushed towards the merchant army behind them, and suddenly the valley was also chaotic.
Staying in the valley, Ji Fa slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little apologetic.
At this moment, even if there are still Dongyi soldiers who have not escaped, they can't care about it, I hope they can be smarter, if they are lucky enough to escape from the elephant's hooves, they can run along the hills on both sides to survive instead of being trapped in it and waiting for death.
"Quickly retreat to the shore of Huaishui!" , Ji Fa quickly gave the second command, and then glanced at the valley with an indifferent face, and then turned and headed east.
At this time, there is no need and no time to do a detailed check, in fact, there is no need to command, as long as you point out the direction, the Dongyi army that has already messed up the rules and regulations will only have to flee for their lives, in the face of the elephant soldiers who are at a loss, it is already very remarkable to be able to retreat with their whole body, no one will go to death in vain! So it's no longer a question of whether the Dongyi soldiers have the courage or not, it's important to escape!
Ji Fa led the Xuanyi soldiers who had been behind to be the last, and while using bows, arrows, knives and axes to kill the fire net, they leaked over to pursue the merchant army, giving the Dongyi team time to flee for their lives, and on the other hand, they also quickly approached the shore of Huaishui.
The fire in Taniguchi was originally a coping strategy that was hurriedly thought of, which could only be emergency but not life-saving, and it could also stop the merchant army for a while, and when the merchant army reacted, it could still continue to pursue, so time was still pressing.
Fortunately, the god of luck stood on Ji Fa's side this time, and when the last group of Dongyi soldiers took the bamboo raft, they saw that the Shang Dynasty army led by the giant elephant also rushed to the shore, but at this moment they were just looking at the river and Xinghan.
Although it is not easy, there is also an element of tricks, but it is more about luck, all in all, at this moment, the Dongyi troops are finally safe for the time being!
The Dongyi soldiers who escaped with their lives and temporarily settled their hearts were in the mood at this moment, and began to talk to each other in twos and threes.
"Alas, I was proud to kill four merchant soldiers at noon today, and I was about to kill the fifth one in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to have to flee for my life in a blink of an eye!"
"No, I killed no fewer people than you, but I didn't run away as fast as you, haha!"
"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about the wind and cold, just rush at those giant elephants, anyway, Lao Tzu has no choice, you can only save your life first, you still have the face to laugh at me, and you are not slower than me at all!"
"At this time, of course, you can only run as fast as you can, don't say it, we must be able to kill the merchant army, but I don't know where the merchant army found these giant elephants, it's really ...... Tut-tut! ”
"If the merchant army keeps using these giant elephants, then it will be really difficult for us to fight with the merchant army!"
"Hey, don't say those frustrating words, it's hard to say anything else, the second son must have a way, we can escape with our lives this time, didn't we rely on the second son's cleverness to think that the elephant army could be stopped with fire?"
"That's right, that's right, the second son is not only high in force, but the most important thing is that the brain is good, you look at the weapons we use, the raft used to cross the river and the fire that blocks the elephant soldiers, which one didn't the second son come up with?"
"That's it, I think those guys from other clans are purely jealous, otherwise, like our big leader, agree to let the second prince command, wouldn't we have such a defeat at all!"
"Shhhh
"I'm afraid of a ball, I dare to say this in front of the leaders of other tribes, you see that our Xuanyi and Yiyi are better, and the others are not good things!"
"Okay, okay......"
……
Listening to the whispers of those soldiers, Ji Fa didn't seem to hear it
Standing on the raft, let the river breeze blow the already tattered clothes and hair.
"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!"
Ji Fa gritted his teeth and uttered the famous phrase that recurred in a certain action movie and a certain cartoon:
"I'll be back!"
