Chapter 217 Playing with Elephants, Very Injured
"Big... handsome..."
Before Li Changjie could say "My head is still there", Xu Baixiang swallowed deeply, pointed at the Song Army's formation opposite and shouted: "Commander, please look!"
Looking in the direction of Xu Baixiang's finger, Li Changjie had just regained some of his mood and suddenly became nervous again.
In the Song Army formation facing us, dozens of huge "Kongming Lanterns" slowly rose into the sky. From a distance, we could see that very thick ropes slowly straightened as the "Kongming Lanterns" rose. Below the ropes,
The strange-shaped cart was suddenly pulled upwards by the "Kongming Lantern", and then fell heavily. At the same time, it made a muffled sound and kicked up a large amount of dust on the ground. The "Kongming Lantern" above the cart also fell.
Suddenly it fell down, and then slowly rose up, straightening the ropes tied under the hanging basket again. But looking up from a distance, those thick and long ropes were bent slightly.
Then, just like Wanyan Zonghan who saw the hot air balloon for the first time under Taiyuan City, Li Changjie raised the question of "The Biggest Kongming Lantern" in his heart:
Is this a big size?
Almost instantly, Li Changjie grabbed Xu Baixiang next to him and asked: "Is this a Kongming Lantern?"
Xu Baixiang shook his head in confusion and replied: "Looking at it, it looks very similar to the Kongming Lantern. But... students have never seen such a big Kongming Lantern!"
"It's over!"
Li Changjie suddenly remembered the news reported by Ruan Ergou about this "bigger Kongming Lantern" - this kind of larger Kongming Lantern can shoot rockets from underneath!
…
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
After coughing crazily for several times, Sun Wanshi finally untied the rope tied to his body with difficulty, and after a few more sighs, he cursed: "Damn it, before you take off next time, you must put all the things in this hanging basket out of the way."
The soil needs to be cleaned up! No matter what happens, we have to find a way to remove this rope. I almost fell to death just now!"
The soldier next to Sun Wanshi shook his head vigorously at first, then nodded with concern, and agreed: "That's right, this broken rope has always been like this. Now we have strong bones. If we are older,
Some of them will have to fall apart!"
They cursed each other a few times and said that the soldier below who was holding the noose was not a thing. With the help of the soldier next to him, Sun Wanshi untied the bundled Divine Arm Bow and the arrows for the Divine Arm Bow, and then took the arrows covered with fierce fire.
The oiled arrows were strung and ignited, and they were aimed at the elephant soldiers diagonally behind the people.
"Hold on tight!"
Suddenly shouting like this, Sun Wanshi didn't even wait for the pawn next to him to grasp it firmly, and directly moved the machine.
"**!"
The huge recoil of the Divine Arm Bow directly shook the entire hanging basket. The soldier next to Sun Wanshi didn't even have time to prepare. He was directly knocked down into the hanging basket again, if it hadn't been for a safety rope on his body.
If it has a fixed effect, the whole person may be lifted out of the basket.
The fallen soldier stood up cursingly after the hanging basket regained its stability. In cooperation with Sun Wanshi, he continued to string the divine arm bow, and the artillery under the hot air balloon also began to speak——
"Whoosh! Boom!"
The divine arm bow and the cannonballs roared at each other, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air was followed by a huge explosion, firelight, and gunpowder smoke, which directly caused great misfortune to the elephant soldiers following the people on the Yuehou side——
A trained war horse can charge in the face of hail of bullets, smoke, and fire, but elephants cannot! Now the pungent smoke, huge explosions, and fire, these three elements that elephants fear most are all coming together. Monkeys
The elephant we were riding was immediately frightened!
Elephants, who are much smarter than war horses, know that the pungent smoke and huge explosions are coming from the opposite side, so these elephants swing their long trunks and start to turn around and run for their lives, no matter how much the monkeys on the elephants' backs scold and whip them.
To no avail!
Now it's better. The monkeys have to play with the elephants if they don't want to play. Now these frightened elephants turned around and ran towards the monkeys' own military formation!
"Fuck me!"
Li Changjie, who was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, let out a strange cry and shouted: "Fire the arrow! Force the elephant to change its course!"
Following Li Changjie's order, the archers from the Yue Monkey Army came out in large numbers, raining arrows like locusts directly towards the elephants——
Either the military formation is disrupted by elephants, or the elephants are forced to change their route with arrows. When there are only two options, and only one of them is obviously the option that can survive, no one cares about the life or death of those elephant soldiers!
Caught by fire, smoke and arrows, the clever and death-fearing elephants rushed to both sides of the military formation. They could no longer pose a threat to the Yue Monkeys' military formation, but Li Changjie whispered in despair: "It's over! It's all over!"
It’s over!”
Without the threat of the elephant soldiers behind them, the people of the Song Dynasty who were coerced by the monkeys quickly ran towards the military formation of the Song Dynasty, and were forced by the archers in front of the formation to run towards the two wings——
This means that the magic weapon Li Changjie relied on to attack the Song Army's military formation has completely failed!
Li Changjie gritted his teeth and had no choice but to shout loudly: "Send my general's order to attack!"
The trumpet sounded, and the Yue Monkey Army began to march forward in formation. But Zhao Huan, who was on the opposite side, just chuckled, turned to Master Zhong and said, "Qing Zhong, how about we make a bet?"
The seed master asked curiously: "What are you betting on? But I am a poor person, so I can't get any decent winnings."
When he heard that his family was poor, Zhao Huan couldn't help but want to ask: Do you still want to be embarrassed?
It is possible to say that the former seed masters were poor, but after Zhao Huan killed Wanyan Zonghan, the status of the Song Dynasty military began to be mentioned again and again. Naturally, the treatment of these Qiu Ba people also increased. As Qin Fengjun
With the addition of the third-class Viscount of the Song Dynasty, this old guy among the breeders actually said that his family was poor?
Pooh!
After secretly sighing in his heart, Zhao Huan said: "Let's bet on how long the monkeys on the opposite side can last. How about the lottery, which is limited to ten gold coins?"
Zhong Shizhong raised his head and looked at the monkey army formation opposite, then looked at Yang Zaixing who was following Zhao Huan and the 30,000 Khitan cavalry led by Xiao Nuoyan, and asked: "I wonder if the government wants to bet that the monkeys can support it?"
for how long?"
Zhao Huan said: "I bet on the time of one stick of incense. These monkeys will definitely not survive the time of one stick of incense and they will be completely defeated. By then, we will have to catch monkeys all over the mountains and fields."
Zhong Shizhong curled his lips and said: "Then Wei Chen will bet on the time of half a stick of incense. However, this battle must be handed over to Wei Chen to command, and Wei Chen will bet against the officials. Otherwise, Wei Chen will
It’s better to just admit defeat.”
After getting Zhao Huan's consent, Zhong Shizhong directly said to Duan Zixing, the commander of the Forbidden Army artillery battalion next to him: "Commander Duan, please, immediately launch a round of artillery bombardment on the monkeys with explosive shells."
After Duan Zixing bowed and agreed, the commander of the army said to Yang Zaixing and Xiao Nuo: "I'd like to trouble General Yang and Lord Xiao to command 30,000 cavalry, and after the bombardment is over, go straight to the monkey's central army!"
