A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Night fell.
The stars in the sky shone brightly. Under the illumination of the stars, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze that seemed both real and illusory. The King of Jieri's camp was also silent. Although the King of Jieri was not worried about Du Qi's attack, the King of Jieri had also arranged a suitable defense to ensure that if Du Qi really wanted to attack, it would be easily blocked.
The current King of Jieri, as usual, went to the place where the giant elephants were placed in the camp.
This was his habit.
Every day, he had to see this group of precious giant elephants.
There was no killing during the battle during the day, but because of the countless cannons and explosions yesterday, many of the giant elephants were a little panicked. Under this premise, the giant elephants under the King of Jieri's command were still a little frightened.
Fortunately, after a day, they had been calmed down.
However, the King of Jieri was still worried, because his giant elephants were his lifeblood. The reason why the King of Jieri could run rampant in Tianzhu and make all the countries bow down to him was because of this troop of sixty thousand elephant soldiers. At least, this troop of elephant soldiers accounted for more than sixty percent of the credit.
Without this troop of elephant soldiers, everything would be over.
The King of Jieri patrolled the giant elephants one by one. Now that the sky was dark, many of the giant elephants had already rested.
Silence reigned in the camp.
The King of Jieri walked around and saw that the giant elephants had calmed down. He nodded in satisfaction and then left to return to the camp where he lived. After he returned, he continued to study the surrounding terrain, as well as the situation of the Mo Mountains. The King of Jieri wanted to defeat Du Qi. Although he had already made a plan, the King of Jieri was still not satisfied with such a plan.
If there was a more suitable plan, he could immediately make adjustments.
This was the King of Jieri's daily homework.
After all, the King of Jieri was getting on in years. He didn't look at the map for long. In the end, he yawned, feeling a little tired. He got up and walked to the side of the bed, then went to sleep without his clothes on.
There was silence in the camp.
All sounds faded away.
Outside the camp, Du Qi's army had already snuck over from the Mo Mountains and arrived at the outskirts of the King of Jieri's camp. If it was during the day, the moment Du Qi's army made the slightest movement, they would be easily discovered.
However, it was different at night. Although the stars were bright at night, the visibility was not good enough. Under this premise, the army led by Du Qi quietly snuck over without being discovered from beginning to end.
When the army arrived at the campsite of the Jiedi State, Du Qi went straight to a nearby hill. This was because the King of Jieri was stationed some distance back. At the moment, he couldn't determine where the giant elephants were resting. Du Qi needed to use binoculars to see clearly from the nearby hill.
There were torches burning in the camp, dispelling the darkness, so he could see the situation in the camp.
Du Qi stood on the hill, sizing up the camp from afar. Through the binoculars, everything in the camp was clearly reflected in his eyes. After all, the King of Jieri had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and there were countless giant elephants. The area of the camp was extremely vast.
Du Qi observed carefully, looking over bit by bit.
After a while, Du Qi's eyes lit up, and he found the resting place of the giant elephants. The resting place of these giant elephants was at the back of the entire camp, close to the left side of the camp. Through the binoculars, he estimated that the resting place of all the giant elephants was actually less than a hundred steps away from the edge of the camp.
If Du Qi wasn't on the hill and used the binoculars to observe, he wouldn't be able to see the layout of the camp. Even if there was fire in the camp, even if the camp was as bright as day, the range of a person's vision was limited.
This was the advantage of the binoculars.
After seeing the situation clearly, Du Qi carefully looked again, then went down the hill. Under the protection of Mordor, he quickly returned to the hiding place of the army and told Xue Rengui the location of the giant elephants.
When Xue Rengui heard the news, he immediately arranged for the catapults under his command to be sent to the front lines.
The catapult soldiers moved quickly.
In less than an hour, all the catapults were assembled and aimed at the King of Jieri's camp. When the soldiers came to Du Qi's side and reported that everything was ready, Du Qi gave the order to attack.
When the order was passed to the catapult soldiers, the general in charge ordered the fire to be lit.
Torches after torches lit the fuses of the gunpowder.
The catapults began to move.
Along with the crackling of the fuse, the clay pot containing the gunpowder instantly swept through the air and was thrown into the camp. This distance was measured by Du Qi. The catapult soldiers adjusted the strength of the catapults and the length of the fuses according to the measured distance. This was the only way to ensure that the gunpowder would explode before it hit the ground.
When the first jar fell to the ground, it shattered and the gunpowder exploded.
Boom!!
A loud sound was heard.
Along with the loud sound, the gunpowder was less than a foot away from a giant elephant. Although the force of the explosion didn't overturn the giant elephant, it caused serious injuries to it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!! "
Explosions rang out one after another.
More and more explosions sounded. Following these explosions, the giant elephants were injured and began to howl crazily. Some even began to flee in all directions. An adult giant elephant, the most majestic of which was around sixteen to seventeen feet tall, weighed more than ten thousand pounds.
In such a situation, the ground shook when the giant elephants stomped their feet. Especially with the bombardment of gunpowder, after the giant elephants were injured one after another, they became enraged and began to run in all directions.
Rumble!!!
The ground shook as the giant elephants ran.
It was like an earthquake.
After they were enraged, they charged into the camp. As the giant elephants charged, there was nothing in the camp to stop them, even if there were fences around the area where the giant elephants were resting. However, under the impact of the injured and frenzied giant elephants, the fences were completely useless. They were destroyed in an instant. The soldiers who were on guard duty outside the fences were so frightened that they fled in all directions, not daring to stay behind.
The giant elephants continued to howl and charge forward. Soon, they reached the resting area where the soldiers under King of Jieri were resting. When they reached this area, the camp was in chaos. Countless soldiers from the Jieri Nation died at the feet of the elephant soldiers. They began to flee in all directions.
The entire camp was in chaos. The ground was shaking non-stop. After all, thousands of giant elephants were running wildly on the ground. The momentum was terrifying. At this moment, Xue Rengui's catapult soldiers outside the camp had retreated. They did not dare to stay any longer.
This was because many giant elephants had charged out of the camp.
In the camp, in the main tent.
King of Jieri was awakened by the shaking of the ground. When King of Jieri woke up and heard the howling of the giant elephants, his heart skipped a beat. There must be a problem with the giant elephants' resting area. King of Jieri had originally considered the possibility that Du Qi's artillery bombardment would cause all the giant elephants to show signs of losing control. Therefore, King of Jieri specifically adjusted the position of the giant elephants and arranged for them to rest at the back of the camp. In this way, even if Du Qi's army attacked from the front, it would not be affected too much.
King of Jieri did not expect that the thing he was worried about would happen. The situation was very bad.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened."
Abdo rushed in anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, all the giant elephants have lost control and are running around. In our camp, the resting area of the soldiers has been trampled by the giant elephants. There are many casualties. Countless soldiers have died from the impact of the giant elephants. As for the rest of the soldiers, they are already in a mess and are running around in all directions. "
After a pause, Abdo said, "Even the giant elephants at the back are running at high speed. I think they will charge towards your tent soon. Quickly hide. Hide first. "
King of Jieri's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly put on his clothes and left the main tent. King of Jieri stood at the entrance of the tent and looked back. He saw many giant elephants running around and his heart sank.
It's over!
It's completely over!
