Chapter 69: God Helps
Hongxia'er smiled bitterly in her heart: Could it be that I have to 'reincarnate' again this time?
Suddenly, a fox ran in and reported that the enemy had extinguished the fire wall and began to officially attack the cottage.
Hongxia'er immediately got up and said to everyone, "Everyone go out with me to have a look." ”
Soon Hongxia'er led a group of cottage leaders to the front line.
It doesn't matter, wow! Good guys, it's a big surprise.
A swarm of jackals swooped down on the mountain like ants, and the enemy's commander was outnumbered by our army and was about to use the jackal sea tactic.
It turned out that almost all of the dry firewood of our army was used up, and the natural fire was unsustainable, and with the constant spraying of water by the enemy, the wall of fire was quickly extinguished.
At this moment, the enemy army began to attack frantically at the expense of blood, filling the trenches and traps with herds of jackals, and stepping on the bones and flesh of their own people.
Faced with the rapidly deteriorating battlefield situation, Hongxia'er was also a little out of breath, she first ordered the archery team to fire rockets at the jackals that had fallen into the trench to make a physical bridge, wanting to set fire to them directly, and then ordered the wild dogs to prepare to attack the jackals who crossed the trench.
The worst battle began.
Hundreds of jackals that fell into the trench were burned to death, and the few enemies who crossed the trench were quickly killed.
But the enemy's attack was still not weakened, and when the enemy lost nearly a thousand jackals, hundreds of jackals had already crossed the trench and slaughtered towards the main peak of the cottage......
Seeing more and more enemies rushing across the trenches towards our troops, Hongxia'er and her team were helpless.
This is because the last wolf hunt operation lost more than half of her fresh force, and at this time, the temporarily reorganized field team turned out to be a production team, and it was too late to carry out effective training, and its combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the original field team.
In the blink of an eye, our army began to die in hundreds (mauled by the wolves), but the enemy became more and more courageous, howling and charging, and these jackals were more vicious, cruel and bloodthirsty than the wolves.
While resisting, our troops retreated to the top of the mountain, and their numbers were also drastically reduced, from the original more than 800 to the current more than 300.
At the moment of crisis when everyone was desperate, suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Suddenly, everyone felt a powerful air current in the air screaming and roaring from far and near, and rushed towards everyone......
In the face of this bizarre and bizarre event that had never been encountered before, everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.
At this time, I saw the red-haired father shouting: "The tornado is coming, everyone hurry up and hide in the cave." Hurry, hurry! ”
So, everyone scrambled to run into the hole and hide in order to avoid being hit by a tornado.
At this time, the wind outside the cave was howling, the air currents were spinning, the sand was flying and the rocks were flying, and the screams of ghosts and wolves kept coming......
After a few minutes or so, the howling of the wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves outside the cave were gone, not even the slightest movement.
However, everyone was still apprehensive about the extremely dangerous battle just now, so they waited a few more minutes to find that it was still quiet outside.
Hongxia'er had to send a fox out of the hole to check and see what was going on.
After a while, the fox came back and reported that the enemy had retreated, and that there was not a single living jackal outside, and that the ground was full of dead and seriously wounded jackals and the corpses of our troops.
Everyone felt a little incredible, and hurriedly ran out to take a look.
If this is the case, could it be that this tornado was sent by God to rescue us? That's pretty much what everyone thinks.
Hongxia'er was also thinking: I remember that in the history of our solar system and earth, there have been many historical battles in which the weak defeated the enemy by relying on the weather, such as: the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Stalingrad and so on.
Could it be that God deliberately helped us this time?!
Maybe it's possible! God saw that we could no longer resist the enemy's attack, so the "divine soldiers descended from heaven" to help us defeat the enemy.
Of course, this is a very superstitious statement. Otherwise, it seems difficult to explain the timing of this strange natural phenomenon.
I guess it's pure coincidence, and it can only be said that it is providential.
Fortunately, God is on our side this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
This tornado may have blown the enemy commander far, far away, and the enemy army without a commander was like a headless fly, naturally collapsed without a fight, and all withdrew. There is no doubt about that.
Thinking of this, Hong Xia'er immediately asked her subordinates to count the losses of our army and see how many fox friends and dogs were left.
The final count showed that our army had 436 killed and 106 wounded, and 197 remained intact.
In addition, fifty-nine are missing, presumably blown away by a tornado because they did not have time to take refuge in the cave.
After burying the dead and treating the wounded, except for some who died because of their injuries or because the wounds were ineffective, only 268 dogs and foxes remained.
Then they roasted the dead jackals and ate them, and now there were more than 1,500 dead and dying jackals, enough for everyone to eat for a long time.
Hongxia'er asked everyone to roast and dry the jackals and store them, so that they would not rot and deteriorate, and they could be eaten for a longer time.
The problem of food has been solved, but the problem of housing, mainly the problem of wintering, has become a big problem.
First of all, because Hongxia'er set fire to the mountain this spring, Xiafeng Mountain lost the protection of forest trees, and the north wind in winter will blow unscrupulously, and the terrain here is higher and windy, even if you live in a cave, you will feel very cold, and because of the burning of the mountain, there is a shortage of dry firewood, and heating is also very problematic.
This is not the most serious, the most terrible thing is that if the wolves in the winter also attack the cottage like a pack of jackals, then the Hongxia'er tribe will be completely finished.
