Chapter 1296: The Rat Swarm

Then he threw something at the elephants around him in the midst of the bumps, and when he couldn't, he ran on tiptoe to the backs of the other elephants, and in a short time most of the elephants were covered with white grains of rice.

Zhao Yiyang jumped at his feet, jumped out of the elephant herd, sat firmly on his horse and shouted to Jiang Chengjun: "Release!" ”

Between the dust, the man in purple couldn't see what was placed on the opposite side, but after a while, he saw that little by little black dots converged into a black press, and pressed straight into his herd of elephants.

If the elephant herd is like a high wall, then those things seem to be like a sea of people in the night.

Everyone looked at it, and the black spots were getting closer and closer, and only then did they notice that it was actually a group of rats!!

I saw that the group of rats quickly rushed forward with four paws, and the black pressure was about to crawl towards the elephant's body, which also frightened the elephant and spun around in place.

After maintaining it for a while, to make sure that the elephant was annoyed by the rats, and indeed had no way to withdraw, Bai Yan issued an order to let a team of people go forward and directly attack the beast exorcists.

Indeed, when passing by the elephant herd, none of the elephants paid attention to them, and they were all trying to figure out how to shake off the rats on their bodies, and the screams that rushed to the sky shook the battlefield.

There was really no one behind those purple-clothed people, but the most surprising thing was that these people didn't even have any martial arts, and they were really a musician who drove beasts. When they got to the front, they didn't have to exert any strength at all, they didn't even have a chance to escape, and they would die in front of them if they fell with a knife in their hands.

The music made the people die, and the elephants were calm, but they were disturbed by the rats, and they ran to their own city. But the gates were closed, and no one came to open them, fearing that the elephants would lead rats into the city.

So the elephants were so disturbed that they kept banging on the gates in an attempt to shake off the rats. I saw that the elephant's body was almost smashed by Pang Wei, and he felt that the world was turned upside down, but the guards inside still did not move, and when he saw this, he was about to stop the elephant herd outside.

"It seems that today's plan to break the door will not be achieved." Bai Yan whispered to General Deqi on the side, and saw that he nodded, and it seemed that he had the same idea.

Since the attack was fruitless, the next step was to wipe out the elephants and rats.

Just because the elephant herd is brought back, they have no way to drive the beast, but they are afraid that it is useless to let it go, if they are released or not, maybe the southern Jiangsu country will bring the elephant herd back, and then there will be a fierce battle with them.

And the rat colony is because the small village is already a rat plague, and if it is released, it may run back again. And the people in the village have long been panicked, and Zhao Yiyang has already promised not to put the rats back when he went to catch the rats, so the only way is to kill them all.

Now these animals are all blocked out, and if you set a fire to the city gate, it may be smoked open, and it will kill three birds with one stone.

Originally, some of them were a little unbearable, after all, elephants were also domesticated to become war elephants, and rats had fought side by side with them, so it seemed a little unconscionable to kill them like that. But the overall situation is important, and after thinking about it, I can only do this.

Thinking so, Bai Yan gave the order, and immediately a group of people lit the torches and rode towards the city gate, and threw the torches at the elephant's body, and they had to be careful not to be on the sand, otherwise they would be extinguished.

In a short time, the place was filled with flames, and the stench of elephants and rats being burned was heard. This time the elephant threw the mouse out, but unfortunately the fire on his body grew bigger and bigger.

Without the rhythm of the orcs, they didn't know how to run, attack, or extinguish fires, so they could only spin around, screaming one after another.

It was a spectacular and cruel scene, and it showed that they were right in their imagination, and that the elephants were indeed acting according to the rhythm of the musicians. At this moment, the stench of the battlefield was terrible, and the corpses of rats and elephants were falling one by one.

Unfortunately, things are not as good as everyone thinks, and the rats and elephants really have nowhere to escape, but the smoke is still closed, and there is not even a trace of damage under the fire. It seems that the so-called hope is impossible, and this gate does not know what it is made of, so strong.

When the fire burned out, the ashes of the corpses or the black spots and behemoths that fell to the ground were all over the battlefield, and the city gate was blackened by the fire. Bai Yan and General Qi glanced at each other, and saw the latter's general command: "Wooden stake knock on the door!" ”

Immediately after that, the soldiers behind him carried out a large wooden stake, which could only be carried by eight able-bodied men. At first, it was carried by a dozen other people, and when they reached the door, they were replaced, so as not to waste their efforts.

Then the eight Hercules took off their shirts, lifted their stakes and slammed them against the door, shouting, "Hey! Hey-huh! But the door did not move.

Gradually, a bunch of companions in the army also shouted together, cheering them on. But after a while, the warriors were all out of breath, and they were all so hungry that they couldn't use their strength.

Seeing this, Bai Yan frowned and beckoned, ordering them to come back first, and then General Qi was very desperate and said, "What is this southern Jiangsu country for?" The door was so hard that the wood I picked was the most weighty, and I couldn't even knock it open. Shall we just do this in a few days? ”

"Hmm."

I saw him frowning and responding, "Southern Jiangsu is full of tricks, this is just one of them to fight with elephants, and I still don't know how to do it next." I wondered what he would do next, and what their soldiers were like, so I just let them go today, and the days will eventually return, and the soldiers will be tired and should go back to drinking and eating meat. ”

After that, he still laughed heartily, and the words "drink wine and eat meat" were still said to everyone, and everyone laughed together. While relieved, he was also a little disappointed, thinking that he would be able to break through the city on this day.

Then the group followed Bai Yan back to the barracks, and today's battle was a victory.

It's just that this battle alone took them almost a month, and they don't know what tricks or beasts they will drive in the future, so they don't know how long it will take to continue.

At noon, the Jiangcheng army and his party returned to the barracks in a majestic and majestic manner, and everyone knew that they were happy to win the battle. And Bai Yan really didn't break his word, and after many days of coarse tea and light rice, he immediately ordered it to be changed to good wine and meat.

This is not only a reward for today's victory, but also a meal for many days to sweep away the gloom of the people.
