chance world

Lu Weixi saw the painting on the letter paper in Qi Yu's hand clearly, and pondered: "I seem to have seen this kind of monster in books..."

"It's a war elephant!" Ding Qiyu blurted out in shock, feeling terrified.The soldiers of the scouting team are all specially trained in painting. The animals that are simply drawn with a few strokes on the paper are huge in size, with thick limbs, two big ears, and two thick, long and sharp teeth. The most prominent feature is that A long nose.Judging from the painting, these big guys are all covered with special armor, and on their backs are defensive cars for elephant cavalry.The general appearance is very similar to the "elephant" that Ding Qiyu had seen in the world before, except that the "monster" in the painting looks very ferocious and brutal, with very strange patterns on the two ears, and also on the skin where the armor is exposed. It is also noted that "the whole body is black" next to the picture.Ding Qiyu had never seen an elephant whose whole body was black.

Lu Weiming opened his eyes wide: "Brother Yu, do you know this thing?" The words were full of admiration for Ding Qiyu.

"Yeah." Ding Qiyu nodded, took a look at Weixi, and continued, "This...I've seen it before, I don't know if it's also called an elephant here?"

After hearing the truth about Qi Yu's origin, Lu Weixi can naturally guess that Ding Qiyu met him in the "previous world", and he is not surprised. The current situation does not allow Weixi to wonder what Ding Qiyu's previous world was like. She affirmed what Ding Qiyu said: "Yes, it's Wuxiang."

"You all know?!" Now Lu Weiming really suspected that he had little knowledge...

Lu Weixi stated the information he knew: "Wuxiang is a legendary fetish in the Nanyu Kingdom. It is said that its nose is as tall as a man's, its ears are like giant fans, and its limbs are like a tree hugged by two people. According to historical records, in In the 18th year of Yangxu Shengjun, King Nanyu at that time was defeated by the Shengjun sent troops to suppress the war due to repeated disturbances in the southern border. Among the treasures presented, there was a black elephant. The envoys presented the black elephant At that time, the sage was overjoyed, and all civil and military officials were amazed. The court painter also drew the picture of Nan Yu's envoys offering black elephants, recording and praising the might of the sage. The current Royal Animal Park was originally created because of the It was built for the black elephant presented by Nan Yu, and the black elephant died of old age in the strange beast garden. The paintings made by the court painter have been displayed in the strange beast garden. I have seen that painting, the black elephant in the painting, The descriptions in the history books basically match the appearance of this monster drawn by the scouts."

Lu Weiming stroked his mustache: "That should have happened seven or eighty years ago... No wonder, I've never seen a black elephant before." It seems... You should read more books!

Lu Weixi said again: "However, it is said that the Nanyu Wuxiang almost disappeared in Nanyu's country. People regard it as a fetish, and it is rare for the world to see it in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, it was secretly cultivated by King Nanyu to be used for war. Is your mount..."

Only then did Ding Qiyu know that due to factors such as climate and geography, there are no animals like elephants living in the country.This kind of black elephant has almost disappeared in Nanyu, its habitat, and it has only appeared once in the history of Dagan, so the scouts and Brother Weiming regard it as a "monster" that has never been seen before.Ding Qiyu didn't dare to mention that he had "seen it with his own eyes", so he could only echo his wife's statement that he had "seen it in a book".

Lu Weixi looked solemn: "If the people of Nanyu really assemble and train Wuxiang into an army, it will be the most difficult type of cavalry. We must make preparations early."

The reason why the northern Xinjiang cavalry is good at fighting is that apart from the fact that the Xirong people are good at riding horses, the big reason is that the northern Xinjiang war horses are tall and strong, and their size is not comparable to that of ordinary short and thin horses.They don't even need tactics, as long as the Northern Xinjiang warhorses rampage on the battlefield, they can easily crush the infantry under the hooves of the horses.In recent years, in order to restrain Xirong's cavalry horses, the Lu family's army has been studying how to cultivate larger and stronger horses in addition to continuously honing and improving the cavalry and martial arts of the officers and soldiers, and tempering special military formations for Xirong's horses. However, cultivating new warhorses is not something that can be completed in a short time, so the Dagan army has not yet had a warhorse comparable in size to Xirong's warhorse.

In addition to the Xirong horses, the camel cavalry of Xuanmo Kingdom are also famous for their bravery. They all say that "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse". The country is very afraid of the army.All these are enough to show how important the tall and ferocious mount itself is to the cavalry.

However, if Xirong war horses and Xuanmo camels are really compared to war elephants, they are definitely "insignificant". I am afraid that the war elephants roar a few times, their noses stand up, and their tusks lift, and the camels and horses will panic. !That's why Weixi described the war elephant cavalry as the most difficult type of cavalry.

After hearing Weixi's analysis, the other two realized the seriousness of the situation. Lu Weiming sighed: "This time, I'm afraid that relying on the bow barracks alone and not sending troops to fight will not be able to withstand the Wuxiang army."

Lu Weixi nodded in agreement: "It's a pity that there are very few records about Wuxiang in the book..." Seeing that his brother was worried, Lu Weixi couldn't help but relieved, "However, the Lu family army has a lot of formations to deal with behemoths. It's difficult, but it won't be impossible to resist." It's just... this time, casualties are inevitable...

Lu Weixi continued to add: "Since the scouts have bought us some preparation time, we must use this time to prepare as much as possible."

Ding Qiyu interjected: "Yes, we can set up traps along the way from the enemy's camp, it will always be useful to some extent!"

Hearing what the two said, Lu Weiming cheered up and clenched his fists: "Okay, get ready first, and you won't be afraid of black elephants and black elephants!"

Seeing his brother's fighting spirit ignited, Lu Weixi felt relieved: "Okay, I will be responsible for planning which formation is most suitable to stop the black elephant."

"Then I'll go to train first to boost the morale of the soldiers! Wait until your formation is decided, and then take them to practice and get familiar with it."

Ding Qiyu also took the initiative to take the job: "Leave the arrangement of the trap to me."

The three of them discussed in detail the specific matters that needed to be arranged, and they were ready to go to complete their own tasks. When they walked to the door of the meeting hall, Ding Qiyu didn't say a word, but the concern in his eyes was self-evident. Lu Weixi could understand, she He smiled softly at Ding Qiyu, expressing that he would definitely pay attention to his body, stretched out his hand to straighten Ding Qiyu's neckline, and said softly: "The situation outside the pass is uncertain, Qiyu must be careful, you... must be safe." After finishing speaking, he turned around without waiting for Ding Qiyu's answer and brother to leave.

Ding Qiyu, together with Lieutenant General Lu Zhier, took dozens of brothers out of the city, because there were few people leaving the city, and the city gate weighed a thousand catties, and I don't know how many eyes were staring at it. It was impossible to open the city gate to let them out. Suo went out of the city quietly, also imitating the ancient Chinese saying "going out at night".

A young soldier beside Lieutenant General Lu Zhi'er patted the dust on his hands and couldn't help complaining: "Aren't the gates of the general checkpoints equipped with secret doors? Even if you don't open the gates, you should be able to get out easily. Why? Do you still need to be so troublesome to hang down?" Ding Qiyu didn't know his military rank, but he seemed to be a very trusted soldier under Vice General Lu.Ding Qiyu had briefly learned about the situation of the Yangchongguan garrison from Brother Weiming before. The key generals of the Lu family army were transferred to northern Xinjiang because of the ferocity of Xirong's cavalry. The little officer was immediately promoted to lieutenant next to Major General Lu Weiming.

Obviously, the young soldier who complained didn't know that Ding Qiyu made the decision to "leave out". Lu Zhi'er knew it very well. He raised his eyebrows and said fiercely to the young soldier: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The young soldier glanced at Ding Qiyu, and muttered in a low voice: "We have nothing to do, the main thing is the young master. You have to trouble the young master to make such a big effort to come out. The major general blamed it, and it's not us who can bear it—— ouch !"

Before the man finished speaking, he was kidnapped by Vice General Lu: "Tsk, is the young master a person who cares about these things?" Then he quickly turned around and apologized to Ding Qiyu, "Please don't be offended, young master, this is my cousin. Younger brother Lu Yanshan, who just joined the Lu family army not long ago, is still young, and speaks without restraint."

The son in the two populations refers to Ding Qiyu, and Ding Qiyu has a special status. Since none of the young soldiers in Yangchongguan attended her wedding with Weixi, Lu Weiming made the mistake and gave Ding Qiyu the status of a younger brother. While the general took the big pot of leaving an illegitimate child outside, it also gave Ding Qiyu a legitimate reason to stay in Yangchongguan to help brother Weiming.Among all kinds of guesses, everyone can only address Ding Qiyu as "Young Master", which means: the young master of the General's Mansion.

Before Ding Qiyu could respond, Lieutenant General Lu Zhi'er scolded Lu Yanshan sharply, "Keep your mouth shut, and if you talk nonsense, you'll just go back to where you were before!"

Being severely scolded by his cousin, Lu Yanshan rubbed his chest and smiled heartlessly at Ding Qiyu, apologizing: "My lord, I'm the one talking nonsense, don't mind."

Ding Qiyu replied with a kind smile: "It's okay, let's hurry up and finish the errands."

Not much gossip, a group of people came out of the city quietly. The building car was a trick sold by Ding Qiyu himself. Naturally, Ding Qiyu was well aware of its surveillance range and blind spots.Ding Qiyu led his brothers to avoid the monitoring range of the vanguard battalion vehicles of the anti army, and set up traps in different places outside the city according to all the positions negotiated.

Time was running out, and Ding Qiyu didn't have time to set up advanced mechanism traps, so he could only make simple traps using the existing equipment and materials in Yangchongguan.They didn't know much about the characteristics of Wuxiang, so Ding Qiyu had to prepare as much as possible according to common sense. As for whether it could be effective, it depended on the actual situation on the battlefield.After leaving the city in the afternoon, Ding Qiyu returned to the pass with his soldiers almost at dawn the next day.
