Chapter 243: Trust
readx;? The earth shook, and the elephants roared, roaring and rushing towards the Praetorian Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the cliff, the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect lurking in the bushes widened their eyes, but they were not too nervous, and Lin Tian was the same. Prince Houthis is young and promising, and since he specially sent people to lure out the war elephants that are rampant in the Heishui River Valley, he naturally has a way to deal with it!
As expected, when the elephant herd entered the attack range, the Janissaries launched a ferocious attack. More than 1,500 elite warriors, armed with longbows, sent out waves of dense arrows. These crossbow arrows are not as powerful as the armor-piercing arrows of the iron cavalry in the northern frontier of the Great Han Kingdom, and they cannot penetrate the vajra physique of the innate master, but they are still far sharper and more powerful than ordinary crossbow arrows, and they are fiercely nailed to the giant elephant of war. Soon, the war elephants that rushed ahead fell one by one.
"That's right, these high-tech national forbidden troops are really good!"
"A single ant is not worth mentioning, but more ants can bite an elephant to death!"
......
The soldiers outside the canyon cheered loudly, their morale was greatly boosted, and the sect disciples lurking on the cliff also talked and looked at each other, but Lin Tian was the opposite, his face became solemn.
It may seem that the soldiers are attacking ferociously, using a dense barrage of crossbow arrows to shoot the mighty war elephants into hedgehogs, but a calm observation reveals a hidden concern. The sharp crossbow arrows are so powerful that the notoriously thick-skinned war elephant can't resist it, but each crossbow arrow is not deep piercing, even if the body is full of crossbow arrows and is shot into a hedgehog, the war giant elephant is still violent, and it has to rush out of a long distance before falling to the ground and dying. At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers seemed to have the upper hand, but what about the elephants rushing up with them?
Lin Tian's eyes were sharp, and he remained calm amid the cheers of the people, secretly worried about Liniang and the maidservant Qiuhong who were standing behind the soldiers.
Sure enough, the cheers of the soldiers did not last long, and more and more war giants rushed out of the Blackwater Valley. With the number of war elephants skyrocketing, the soldiers suddenly felt the pressure, many war elephants have been shot into hedgehogs by arrows, but they have been roaring and rushing to the soldiers before falling, the huge body, sharp heavy armor can penetrate the ivory, all of which make people's hearts beat, the soldiers are obviously nervous, panicked, many people subconsciously retreated, the original tight defense line was loose and could not cover and echo each other, and disasters followed.
First, a wounded war elephant roared and rushed into the soldiers' formation, its sharp tusks piercing the soldiers' chests, throwing them into the air with their knives, trampling the soldiers' heads with their thighs, and then two, three...... , There were more and more war elephants roaring and rushing forward, and the soldiers quickly suffered casualties, and the terrible screams sounded intensively.
The sound of a low, rapid horn sounded, and Prince Houthi quickly changed his formation, gathering the soldiers who had scattered to surround the entrance to the canyon, hoping to forcibly block the onslaught of the elephant herd with a dense formation, and from time to time a powerful master would go up to block the giant elephant that had gone berserk after being injured with his flesh and blood. It's a pity that everything was in vain, and the courage of flesh and blood barely withstood the impact of the elephant herd in a short time, but it collapsed after a while, and no matter how fierce the soldiers were, they were ruthlessly trampled by the elephant herd.
"Protect the prince, protect the lady, kill!"
"Madame go first, quick!"
The soldiers were also red-eyed, and threw down their longbows and drew their swords to pounce. Under the nervousness, some people fled in a panic, and some people went up like moths to the fire, trying to use their bodies to block the impact of the elephant herd and cover the retreat of Prince Husai and Liniang.
Outside of Cyprus, the Blackwater Valley is notoriously a place of great evil, not only because of the bat caves where evil people are entrenched, but also because the valley itself is very dangerous, entrenched in a large herd of ferocious war elephants. After Princess Xiangxiang was kidnapped by the demon god guards in the Bat Cave, the Gaoche Kingdom had already sent several groups of people to rescue her, and most of them died in the river valley before they even entered the Bat Cave.
This time, at the request of Li Niang, Prince Housai, who replaced the old king in charge of the Gaoche Kingdom, drove the expedition in person, and led the most elite 1,500 Gaoche soldiers to the Heishui River Valley, and also carefully laid an ambush. Unfortunately, not only could they not exterminate the elephant herd, but instead caused the disaster of killing, and the soldiers who gathered around him and Li Niang fell in rows.
A war elephant pounced, and it took at least ten elite warriors to barely block it;
Ten war elephants pounced on them, and a hundred elite warriors were needed to stop them;
When the number of war giants that pounced on them at the same time increased to twenty or thirty, hundreds of elite soldiers could not stop them from laying out a tight battle formation!
For a time, there was a river of blood outside the canyon, and for every war giant elephant that fell, at least a dozen elite warriors would fall, or even more. Perhaps completely enraged, even though the soldiers had withdrawn for hundreds of meters, the elephant herd still chased after them, roaring to kill them all and go completely mad. Many soldiers were cornered and had to turn around and jump into the icy surging river, and Prince Hussei and Liniang were also forced to the beach.
"Alas, so many people laid an ambush, and they were still defeated, defeated!"
"If you haven't stepped into the innate realm, no matter how good a martial arts master is, his combat power is limited, it's a pity!"
On the cliff, all the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect shook their heads and sighed.
The situation changed abruptly, and the soldiers went from a good situation to a rout, only in the blink of an eye, they obviously took the initiative and the upper hand, but in the blink of an eye, they suffered heavy casualties and were completely defeated, which made people sigh.
Lin Tian, who was lurking in the bushes, suddenly grew up.
"Lin Tian, what are you going to do?" Shangguan Tu asked in a low tone, "You...... , what kind of lady are you going to save again?"
"Yes, I'm going to save her! In Black Dragon Village, someone else saved us, and now we can't die without help!"
Lin Tian was frank, and continued loudly under Shangguan Tu's forced gaze: "In addition, this is not only to help Liniang, but also to help ourselves. Once the soldiers are driven out by the elephant herd, it will be more difficult for us to sneak into the Blackwater Valley, and who will show us the way into the Bat Cave when the time comes?"
Lin Tian was reasonable, seeing that Liniang and Prince Husai were cornered, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and he couldn't help but make a move.
"Lin Tian, I'll go with you!"
Liu Bo, a disciple of the sect, also stood up, worried that Lin Tian would not be able to cope with it alone, so he repaid his kindness, and did not forget Lin Tian's intercession in front of Shangguan Tu for himself just now.
"I'll go too!"
"Count me in!"
Several sect disciples who were familiar with Liu Bo also stood up.
"Stop, you ...... , do you have to act in disobedience or not?"
Shangguan Tu was furious, stood up violently with murderous energy, glanced at Lin Tian and the others viciously, and after a while, his tone changed and said: "However, what Brother Lin Tian said is also reasonable, we can't let these elite soldiers of the Gaoche Country die, at least a few must be left to lead the way." Since you want to do it, let's go together and go!"
Shangguan slaughtered Ge decisively, and took the lead as soon as he said to go, jumping directly from the cliff, stepping on the rocks protruding from the cliff and descending rapidly, and pounced on the elephant herd outside the canyon. Behind him, Lin Tian and the others raised their heads and followed with a long howl, walking on the cliff as if they were walking on the ground, one by one falling from the sky like birds.
Outside the canyon, the soldiers fled and died, and the soldiers who were still surrounding Prince Housai and Li Niang were in danger and fought desperately and bloodily. There are not many people, there are only more than a hundred left, all of them are dead soldiers loyal to the Gaoche Country, which is the most elite force of the Gaoche Country. It's just that even if you don't care about yourself, you can't stop the impact of the elephant herd, and you fall in a pool of blood one by one. Under the desperate attack of the soldiers, the elephant herd also suffered a lot of casualties, but even if there were only more than 20 left, it was enough to completely crush the remaining elites of the Gaoche Country.
"Niangniang, do you know how to swim?" Prince Houthi asked Liniang.
"No, it won't. ”
Li Niang shook her head, and then said: "This river is very fast, the river is full of reefs, and a hundred meters later there is a cliff waterfall with an amazing drop, even if you can swim, you will die after entering the water!"
Li Niang's tone was flat and not panicked, but her expression was sad. There were many soldiers who had to jump into the river when they were cornered by the elephant herd, but almost none of them were able to swim out of the water and get back ashore. Compared to the Accord River near Shattered Leaf City, the water here is even colder, and the body will freeze as soon as it enters the water, no matter how good the water is.
"Niangniang, I hurt you, and I was too careless to underestimate the enemy. ”
Hussey looked self-reproachful and remorseful, but his eyes were bright, even a little eager and hot, "By the way, Niangniang, what did my father say to you after he suddenly woke up last night?"
"Your father said that this may be the last time he is sober, and he wants to hand over the jade seal of the country to me for him to keep for the time being. Li Niang replied frankly.
"That'...... , where is the heirloom jade seal?"
The Houthis were even more excited, the jade seal of the country was very important, and it was a symbol of the kings of the Gaoche Kingdom. When the new emperor ascended the throne, if there was no jade seal of the country, even if there was a will of the old king, he would not obey the public, and it was difficult to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the various tribes attached to the Gaoche country.
For the crown prince Husse, who took care of state affairs on behalf of the old king, the jade seal of the country was too important, and after the words came out, he realized that he was too anxious, and quickly covered it up, "Okay, the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Niangniang, so it will be good now, so as not to lose it or fall into the hands of the small people." With a lady sitting in the palace, my high-car country is bound to be safe and secure, and the wind and rain are smooth!"
"Housé, it's a pity that your father said where the jade seal of the country is, but the voice was too small and weak, and before I could hear it clearly, your father fell into a coma again. Li Niang said lightly, pouring a plate of cold water on the excited Housthis in her heart.
"What?"
Hussei exclaimed, a little stunned, and then, his face gradually turned cold, his eyes flickered, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
Li Niang was still calm, and she didn't seem to notice Hu Sai's strange appearance, but Qiu Hong, the maid standing on the side, felt something and leaned nervously next to Li Niang.
The elephants roared and swooped down on them to trample the bloody soldiers into meat sauce. The elites of the forbidden army loyal to Gaoche Kingdom blocked in front of Prince Husai and Liniang with their flesh and blood, and fell in a pool of blood one by one.
The situation is grim, at this life-and-death juncture, Prince Houthis did not panic, but instead smiled evilly, coldly watching the elite blood splash and fall.
"Madame, what's the ...... What should I do?"
Qiu Hong's face tightened when she was nervous, and there were only more than ten meters left from the war giant elephant that was rushing to the front, and there were not many elites of the forbidden army left in front of her. Soon, she and Liniang will have to face the fangs and trampling of the war elephant. It is impossible to imagine what kind of pain the war elephant will endure when the heavy feet fall on him and crush and trample it fiercely. That kind of scene made Qiu Hong shudder, and she would rather turn around and jump into the Heishui River and throw herself into the water to die than dare to face the impact of the war giant elephant.
"Qiuhong, don't be afraid, it's okay, someone will come to save us, believe me!"
Li Niang grabbed Qiu Hong, who was about to turn around and commit suicide by throwing herself into the water, seeing the savage and ferocious war giant elephant getting closer and closer, her face was also pale, but she was still calm.
Not long after going up the mountain, the figures of Lin Tian and other Qiankun Sword Sect disciples disappeared, and they seemed to disappear without a trace like air, except for Li Niang, no one noticed the tail that was far behind along the way. Until now, there was no trace of Lin Tian and the others, but Li Niang believed that Lin Tian and his party must have followed all the way, just nearby, and believed that Lin Tian would never die without help!
"Madam, I'm afraid, I'm ......"
Qiu Hong's face turned pale, her body began to tremble, and before she could say a word, her eyes suddenly widened.
Behind the unstoppable herd of elephants, eight or nine powerful masters suddenly appeared, all with large hats on their heads, heavy armor tied with cloaks, and a sharp long knife in each hand. With a slash, the war giant elephant that was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow and was still alive and vigorously immediately staggered and wailed, and the formation was in chaos. Rushing to the front is a big man of the iron tower, a knife down, almost able to cut the huge war giant elephant into two pieces of the knife is amazing; but this big man's knife technique is not the most amazing, a little thin young man's knife technique is even more sharp, each knife accurately falls on the throat of the war giant elephant, the hand knife falls with a large canopy of blood, stepping on the body of the war giant elephant like a big bird flying over, the speed is extremely fast.
At a critical juncture, Lin Tian and his party finally arrived. Shangguan Tu took the lead and used the iron tower knife technique to crush the huge war elephant, but Lin Tian took the latter and did not fight with the war giant elephant, and rushed towards Li Niang at the fastest speed.
"Madam, it's Lin ......"
Qiu Hong's eyes lit up, and she quickly recognized who the young man who was in front of her, and before the word 'Lin Tian' was shouted, her mouth was covered by Li Niang.
"Qiuhong, I told you, it's okay!"
Li Niang's tone was still flat, but looking at Lin Tian who was getting closer and closer, her eyes were also bright and excited.
There were some things that she didn't have time to talk to Lin Tian about, but at the beginning of this operation, she didn't put the hope of saving people on the mighty forbidden army;
When encountering powerful demon beasts and demons, no matter how many folk martial arts masters there are, it is useless to rely on the disciples of the Immortal Sect who have come out of the four hidden immortal sects at the critical moment, especially elite disciples like Lin Tian! Such talents, not to mention in the remote Gaoche country, is also in the vast territory of the Han Kingdom, and is also the pillar of the country, and the guardian of the entire human race!
