"There are two columns of crossbowmen and three columns of gunners, with the crossbowmen in front, and the gunners form a rear team and form a formation on their own."

"The crossbowmen take the bow, the guns charge the guns, and the first column of crossbowmen prepares."

"The armies obeyed the order, and when the wild elephant approached, they could only shoot its eyes and proboscout, and after the shooting, they should immediately retreat, and there must be no slackness."

The sunlight penetrated the mountain peaks in the distance, and spilled obliquely on the front door of the cottage, and three hundred soldiers with fire guns and steel crossbows were lined up in five teams, each of them ready to standby, just waiting for Mu Jianming's raised hand to wave it heavily.

Behind them, is the bamboo strips mixed with boulders and built a cottage, many natives trembling through the gaps between the bamboo strips, looking at the outside of the village that a group of clear flags, the same order, although this group of people are like a rainbow, and all of them are strong and strong, holding inexplicable weapons in their hands, but the natives still do not believe that this alone can drive away the wild elephants.

What is a wild elephant? This means that it can generate thousands of catties of strength by stomping its feet, and a thigh-thick tree will rise up with a long nose, which is comparable to the existence of gods, and it is not something that human beings can hunt at all.

At the high arch of the cottage, Zhu Jun looked at the battle situation intently, the wild elephants scattered outside the village had already discovered the enemies gathered outside the village, they spontaneously closed together, there were more than 20 heads, they were obviously angered by this group of people who were not afraid of death, and they rolled their proboscis and looked up to the sky and hissed.

"Brother Zhu, do you think we are going to prepare some wound medicine?" Toulon was wrapped in a black turban, his whole body was changed into a solemn plain robe with white lines and black background, and on his chest, embroidered with the brocade of a mountain peak, which was the symbol of the Karen elders, representing supreme wisdom and courage, but when he saw the elephant herd in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Zhu Jun's face was grim, this battle was related to his prestige among the Karen people, if he won this battle, he would become a hero to save the Black Karen people, from then on, in this endless deep mountain, any Karen cottage will treat itself as a guest of honor, which is definitely a very favorable condition for Zhu Jun based in southern Myanmar.

"Brother Toulon, go and arrange a feast for tonight, when my warriors return triumphantly, we will celebrate with our brothers of the Karen tribe, after this battle, you and I will be like brothers, regardless of each other, if there are any difficulties in the future, just mention them to me."

"Brother Zhu doesn't need to say any more, the Karen people have received your great favor, where are you embarrassed to ask for your benefits, from now on, it is time for us Karen people to repay you, but our Karen people have neither valuable pearls and jade, nor rare treasures in the world, hey! Only some iron filings dug up from the deep mountains were given to Brother Zhu for free. Toulon looked ashamed.

"The grain outside the village has been trampled by wild elephants, if you want to replant, you must wait for the next year, you gave me the iron filings in the village, where is there anything in the village for silver? What do you eat without money? ”

"This ......," said Toulon, who no longer spoke.

Zhu Jun held on to the railing on the stilted building, looked at the human-elephant battle that was about to break out in the distance, the corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly, and said, "Actually, I have a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

He paused, lowered his voice and said: "There is still some surplus food in my village, and there is absolutely no problem to feed the cottage, but Zhu has a lot of enemies, even if he raises you for a while, after a while, my enemies will come to the door, and Zhu will even have a problem with self-preservation, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Toulon hurriedly said: "Brother Zhu, who is your enemy?" If you have any difficulties, you can talk to Brother Toulon. ”

"If my enemy were the king of Burma, wouldn't you be afraid?" Zhu Jun said calmly.

Toulon slapped his palm on the railing hard, causing the stilted building to fall with dust: "The king of Burma is also the enemy of our Karen tribe, as long as Brother Zhu says a word, others can't control it, although I, Toulon am old, I have to fight with them." ”

"This is not in a hurry, Zhu just hopes that Guizhai can seconded some strong men and some of my subordinates to form a mountain battalion to train the tactics of the mountains and forests, and when the enemy comes to seek revenge, he can also have a place to rely on. However, Zhu is not a person who will make his friends suffer, I will solve the food of everyone in the cottage, and those seconded warriors Zhu will also pay the salary on time. ”

Toulon looked embarrassed, pondered for a while, and said: "Although I am an elder in the cottage, many important things still have to be discussed with the elders in the village before they can be implemented, this is a big deal, it is better to do this, tonight I will gather the elders in the village to discuss together, although I do not have a certain certainty, but I will definitely fight for Brother Zhu, this matter is also a good thing for the cottage, with food cottage can prosper." ”

Zhu Jun nodded in understanding, after his observation, although the elder is the manager of the Karen cottage, he does not have much power, and he can only make some major decisions unless he gets the approval of most of the elders.

At this time, the rumbling sound sounded from a distance, and the gathered elephant herd began to slowly sprint towards the Shenji Battalion, their speed was not fast, but the rumbling sound that broke out every time the four legs collided with the ground made Zhu Jun, who was thousands of kilometers away, awe-inspiring.

Mu Jianming didn't move, he stood upright with his sword, looking at the bodies of the behemoths getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but boil with blood,

Three hundred years ago, his ancestor Mu Ying led 30,000 elite soldiers into Yunnan, shocked the natives, hundreds of war elephants were driven by the natives as they are today, and finally returned with heavy damage.

And today, Mu Jianming raised his hand high, not moving, his eyes looked at the elephant herd that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and the next moment, when his hand hung down fiercely, it was the moment to decide the victory or defeat.

"There are still twenty zhang, the first team of crossbowmen are ready!" Facing the bright sun, Mu Jianming's palm gradually began to loosen.

"Shoot!" Without dragging mud and water, and without a trace of hesitation, the outstretched arm drew a half-arc in the air and hung down.

Sneer...... A neat row of crossbow arrows shuttled out and fired at the target in front of them.

Dozens of feather arrows pierced the proboscis of the giant elephant that was charging ahead, and one of them shot into the eyes of the giant elephant more accurately, for a while, the blood stained half of the face of the giant elephant in front of him, and it rolled up its proboscis angrily, and its front legs were half kneeling on the ground, screaming and roaring.

Bang, the bad luck of the injured giant elephant came one after another, and behind it, a giant elephant that did not stop its feet stepped on its back fiercely, and the two huge bodies collided.

"The second team of crossbowmen is out of line, shoot!" Mu Jianming will not give the opponent any chance, the wonder of the three-stage strike lies in hitting the opponent without interruption, until the opponent collapses, and never die!

Sneer...... A series of crossbow arrows shot out like locusts, and this time, did not bring any substantial damage to the giant elephant.

"The first team of crossbowmen is out of line, shoot!" Mu Jianming's arm rose high again, and then fell.

Sneer......

"The second team of crossbowmen is out of line, shoot!"

Sneer......

After a round of shooting, five of the thirty or so giant elephants had been damaged, and their steps began to scatter, and they were horrified to find that the skinny creatures on the other side were not vulnerable.

The real show began, Mu Jianming's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Change the formation, change the gunners to the front team, the crossbowmen are behind, and the first column of gunners is out of the line, prepare, shoot!" ”

This time it was no longer the neighing of arrows that broke through the air, but a roaring explosion, and the sound of fifty muskets was like thunder, and above them, ethereal green smoke gradually emerged, and a thick and pungent smell of gunpowder emanated from the air.

It was not only the giant elephants that were frightened, but even the natives who were watching the excitement behind the Shenji Camp shrank their necks in fright, and when they came back to their senses and secretly stretched out their necks again, they found that some of the frightened giant elephants began to twist their heavy bodies and began to flee. The remaining bold elephants, though not stopping their charge, were clearly showing signs of timidity.

"The second column of gunners is out of the ranks, ready." There were still more than twenty elephants in the remaining herd, and they were getting closer and closer to the ranks of the Shenji Battalion, and Mu Jianming could even see the faces of every giant elephant and their curved noses.

Some of the three hundred warriors were already beginning to show fear, and everyone knew what the consequences would be if the elephant herd rushed into the queue, and some of them had already retreated as the elephants got faster and closer.

"Hum ......" A sword light came out of the sheath, Mu Jianming frantically pointed into the distance with the tip of his sword, and shouted with all his might: "Brothers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, if anyone dares to escape, Lao Tzu cut off his head and killed his whole family, listen to my order, the second column of gunners shoots." ”

"Bang bang ......" accompanied by a burst of green smoke, a powerful roar sounded for another moment, and dozens of lead bullets whistled to smash the front of the giant elephant in the lead.

"Don't give them any chance, the third team of gunners is out of line, shoot, the first column is ready, smash them, whoever is one step slower will kill us all, shoot fast!"

"Bang bang ........."
