11. Pick up the pace


Fast as lightning, Tekan Lishda dodged the king's sword and quickly jumped back.He's not a coward, and he'll be willing to fight Tillian and the dwarfs if necessary, but he can't handle eagles and unicorns.He knows how eagles fly into your face and peck at your eyes desperately, and they will use their huge wings to blind you and leave you at a loss.He had heard from his father that his father had fought Narnia in war, and that no one was a match for a unicorn unless he used a bow or a spear, because when it stood on its hind legs and swung its two front hooves at you, you had to deal with its hooves, its horns, and its fangs at once.So, Leshda quickly rushed into the midst of the large crowd of gatherers, stood there and raised his arms and shouted: "Take care of my commands, Tithrok may his warriors live forever and obey my orders, and all the loyal people of Narnia, if you disobey, then the wrath of the god Tash will come upon you" While this was happening, two other things were also happening.The poor ape was not as quick as the well-informed Tykan, who had not yet realized that danger had come.For a second or two, it was still crouching around the campfire, staring at the group of people who had just rushed out.So King Tillian rushed at the cunning ape, grabbed it by the back of its neck, picked it up, and then rushed back to the stable, shouting at the same time, "Open the door," and Pokine immediately opened the door."

Treacherous, go in and drink your own headache medicine," said Tillian, and threw Treachery into the dark stables with a thrash throw.When the dwarf slammed the door back shut, a dazzling blue-green light shone out of the stable, and the whole earth trembled, and a strange sound sounded a kind of gurgling scream, much like the hoarse sound of some terrible strange bird.The sounds of the beasts, their howls, and their cries rang out in unison."

Let the god Tash cover us before it," many beasts knelt on their knees, and many covered their faces with their wings or claws.At this moment, no one except the clairvoyant-eyed eagle, who had the best eyes in all living beings, noticed the expression of Tekan Leshda at this moment.From what he saw, the clairvoyant eagle immediately understood that Leshda was as shocked as everyone else, and terrified, almost frightened."

One is gone," thought the eagle to himself, "it has summoned gods it does not believe in, but what will happen to it if the gods do come?"

Every talking dog in the whole assembly, fifteen in all, barked happily and ran towards the king in a hurry.Most of them are excellent big dogs with thick shoulders and heavy paws.The dog came so fast that it was like a huge wave crashing onto the beach, almost knocking you out.For though they are talking dogs, they are like all dogs do what they can, and they all stand on their hind feet, with their front paws on the shoulders of humans, and lick their faces affectionately with their big tongues, and they all immediately exclaim, "Welcome to the king, welcome you, we will help, help you, help you, tell us how to do it, how to do it, how to do it, how to do it" The scene in front of us was so pleasant, It almost moved you to cry in the depths of their hearts, and they had been waiting for this to happen, and now, they finally got their wish.And, after a while, a couple of small animals, rats, moles, and a squirrel, came running toward this side, screaming with joy, and saying, "Look, look, here we are, and we're on this side." ”And, after them, bears and wild boars also came to the king's side.Eustace began to have the feeling that maybe after this, everything would be solved.However, when Tillian looked around, he saw that only a handful of animals were moving their steps."

Listen to my commands," he cried out, "have you all become cowards since I became your king?"

Protect us from the wrath of the god Tash," "Where are all the talking horses?"

asked King Tilian."

We've seen them, we've seen them," the rats squeaked and squealed, "and the apes have forced them to work."

They were all tied with ropes at the foot of that hill. ”"Then, all you little ones," commanded King Tilian, "you little ones who can bite well, run with all your might, as fast as you can, and find out whether the horses are on our side."

If they are our friends, then use your sharp teeth to bite off the ropes that tie them to them, help the horses regain their freedom, and bring them here immediately. ”"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you."

The small voices replied in unison, and with a flick of their tails, they were small rat-like creatures with sharp eyes, quick movements, and sharp teeth.King Tillian was full of affection and smiled as he watched them go.Now it's time to think about something else.Tekan Leshda was giving his orders on the other end."

Charge me forward," commanded Leshda, "take all their men alive as much as you can, and then throw them all into that stable, or force them in."

When they were all in the stable, we set a fire to burn it to the ground and offered them as a sacrifice to our great god Tash. ”"Ah," said the eagle to himself, "this act indicates that he wishes to win the forgiveness of the god Tash, for he has not really believed in the god Tash. ”Half of the enemy line, Lishda's army was now advancing, and time was running out for King Tillian to give orders."

Jill, you're in charge of striking from the left and firing as many arrows as you can before they get close to us.Wild boars and bears followed.Pokin was on my left and Eustace was on my right.Jumbo is in charge of the right wing.Bewildered, you go and stand beside the treasure and attack with your hooves.The Eagles are responsible for sorties at high altitudes.Dog, follow me closely.When the swords of the two sides begin to clash, you break into the middle of the enemy and attack.May Aslan bless us" Eustace stood there, his heart pounding, hoping that he would be able to move forward without hesitation.He had never seen anything that had made his rushing blood so cold, though he had seen a dragon and a sea serpent, like those swarthy-faced, bright-eyed soldiers of the enemy line.There were fifteen enemy troops of Calemun, a talking bull of Narnia, Slinki the fox, and, the demigod, half-beast god of the forest.Then he heard a slam of bowstrings on his left, followed by a whoosh, and saw a Calman soldier fall in response; Then there was another thud, and then with a whoosh, the demigod, half-beast god of the forest also fell."

Oh, well, my little girl," came King Tilian's exclamation.As soon as the words were spoken, the enemy pounced on them.What happened in the next two minutes, Eustace had no memory of it.It's like a dream, the kind of dream you only have when you have a high fever, until he hears Tekanlish's shout coming from afar: "Retreat back here, rest first, then attack," at which point Eustace regained consciousness and saw the Calemon soldiers running in panic towards their companions.But they did not all retreat, and there were two corpses lying in the ground, one impaled by the single horn of the treasure, and the other dead by the sword of King Tilian.The fox's corpse lay at his feet, and he was a little confused, wondering if he had killed it himself.The bull also fell to the ground, and an arrow fired by Jill pierced its eye, and its flank was also scratched by the boar's fangs.Again, our side suffered heavy losses, three dogs were killed, and the fourth dog limped behind the clan on three legs, constantly whimpering.The bear lay on the ground, struggling feebly, until at last it was still confused, and muttered in a hoarse voice, "I don't understand," and then its head hung down on the grass, as quiet as a child about to fall asleep, and could never move again.In fact, the first attack of the enemy failed.But Eustace didn't seem happy about it, he was so thirsty that his arm hurt badly.When the defeated Calemon soldiers retreated to their commander, the dwarfs began to mock and tease them incessantly."

Enough is enough,," they cried and cried, "don't you like this, why don't you great Tykan go to battle himself, but send you out to die, poor, I feel sorry for you" "Dwarfs," King Tilian shouted at them, "come to our side, don't be brave, and wave your swords and start fighting, for the dwarfs who are still in time for Narnia, I know that you are brave and warriors."

Come back and fight for your loyalty" "AhhYou're just as big liars as the rest of the bunch.We don't need kings, we dwarfs have to fight for the dwarfs themselves.Phew, a drum sounded, but this time it wasn't the dwarf's drum, it was the Calemon bullskin drum.As soon as the drums sounded, the children were disgusted.The sound of "knock knock, knock" rang non-stop.If the children understand the purpose of the drum sound, they will become even more disgusted and hated by the sound.King Tillian knew what was going on, which meant that there were other Calemun troops in some part of the vicinity, and Tekan Leshda was sending a signal asking for their assistance.Tillian and Jumbo looked at each other with a look of despair and sadness.At the beginning of the night, they were hopeful that maybe their side might win but there was a new enemy, so there was no doubt that they would lose everything.King Tillian looked around in despair.I saw several Narnian beasts standing with the Calemon soldiers, and it was impossible to tell whether they had betrayed or because they were genuinely afraid of the god Tash.The other beasts sat quietly, taking a wait-and-see attitude, not at all looking to join either side.However, the herd is now much smaller than it was at the beginning, with only a handful of animals remaining.It was clear that several of the beasts had crept away during the scuffle."

Knock knock, knock knock", the terrible drum beat continued.At this moment, another voice came in."

Listen," Jumbo said, pricking up her ears."

Look," said the eagle.After a few moments, everyone could be completely sure who made the sound.With a thunderous rumble of hooves, and the shaking heads, the wide nostrils, and the fluttering manes, there must be no doubt that at least twenty talking horses were rushing up the hill at full speed.The biting and gnawing little ones had successfully completed their task, and the freed horses had hurried to the king's aid.Pogin the dwarf and the children opened their mouths wide to cheer, but their cheers never had a chance to be heard.Because suddenly, the air was filled with the sound of fierce thumping bowstrings and whizzing arrows.For a moment, Jill couldn't believe his eyes, it was the dwarfs who were shooting the arrows, and they were actually firing arrows at the galloping horses.The dwarfs are all clever archers.One by one, the horses tumbled and fell to the ground.This noble beast was never able to come to the king's side."

Brutes" Eustace was furious, and could not help but stomp his toes and curse, "Despicable, shameless, filthy, and unfaithful little brutes" and even Treasure could not contain the anger in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, do you want me to catch up with these dwarfs and stab ten of them to death at once with my horn" But King Tilian's face did not change, his expression was cold, as serious as a hard rock, and he said calmly: "Treasure, stand firm, stick to your post."

Sweetheart is saying to Jill, turn your face to the side and cry, don't let the tears wet your bowstring.And you, Eustace, don't scold like a cook.A true warrior will never swear insults, and courtesy or powerful attacks are the only words spoken by a warrior. ”The dwarfs did not show weakness, and turned to Eustace with a sneer: "Little friend, it seems that this is a big surprise for you, do you still think that we are all on your side, don't you be afraid, we don't want talking horses to run around and mix with anything."

We don't want you to win more than the other guys.Do not think that we will be deceived.The dwarfs are all fighting for the dwarfs themselves. ”Tekan Lishda was still speaking to his soldiers, and it was clear that this was planning for the next attack, and it was likely that he wanted to devote his entire team to the first battlefield.The drumming continued.Then, to the disgust, King Tillian and his friends heard it, and a faint beat of drums was heard in the distance.Another team of Kalemen had heard Leshda's distress signal and was on their way to his aid.Now, you can't tell from King Tilian's face that he has given up all hope in his heart, and he is still calm and calm."

Listen," he whispered in a flat, matter-of-fact tone, "now we must take the initiative, and attack before the gang of thugs is still far away. ”"Your Majesty, think again," Bokine discouraged, "if we hold on here, we have the quality plank walls of the stables behind us, and we don't have to worry about the enemy sneaking up on us from behind.""

Dwarfs, do as I say," said King Tilian, "Is it not their plan to push us into the stables, the farther we are from this deadly door, the farther we are from this deadly door?"

”"The king is right," said the eagle, "in any case, you must stay away from this damned stable, no matter what demons live in it."

Get out of here at any cost. ”"yes, let's get out of here."

Eustace also said, "Every time I look at it, hatred keeps pouring in. ”"Very well," said King Tilian, "now look to our left.You can see the white glow in the fire, it was a boulder like marble.We're going to attack the Calemon soldiers first.You, miss, move to our left and shoot arrows into their ranks as fast as you can; And you, the eagle, take off from the right and attack them in the head.In the meantime, the rest of us just rushed after them.When we get close to the enemy, Jill, you must stop shooting arrows, lest you accidentally injure our own men, and you can go back to the White Rock and wait.The rest of you, even in battle, prick up your ears and listen to everything around you.We have to fight quickly and scare them away in just a few minutes, otherwise there will be no chance at all, because we are much smaller than them, which is not conducive to a protracted war.As soon as I shouted to retreat, we immediately ran back to the white stone to meet Jill, where there were stones in the way, which meant that we had protection behind us, and everyone could take a breath and rest.Now, Jill, strike" With a terrible sense of loneliness, Jill ran about twenty feet away, her right leg bent back and her left leg forward, putting an arrow on the string, and she prayed that her hands would not tremble so much.When her first arrow flew swiftly towards the enemy and swept over their heads, she exclaimed, "This arrow is too bad." ”But in the blink of an eye, she had put the second arrow on the string, and she knew that the most important thing now was speed, to catch him off guard.She saw a large black shadow swoop down on the face of the Calemon soldier.That's the swift eagle.At first there was only one soldier, then another, and they all quickly threw away their swords and waved their hands desperately to protect their eyes.Immediately afterward, one of Jill's arrows hit a soldier, and the other hit a Narnia wolf who appeared to have joined the enemy army.However, she only ejaculated for a few seconds before she had to stop.With a flickering sword light, the fangs of a boar, the horn of a unicorn, and the barking of a dog, King Tillian and his companions rushed towards the enemy as if they were in the men's 100-meter race.Jill was shocked to see the Calmen soldiers looking panicked, and she didn't realize that it was her and the Eagle's work.If they were to face a bow and arrow attack on one side and an eagle pecking on the other, few armies would be able to hold their ground and keep a firm eye on the front line."

Oh, well done, well done," Jill shouted excitedly.The king's army took the road and attacked the enemy directly.Unicorns pick people up and throw them out, just like you stir up hay with a fork.For Jill, even Eustace, after all, who didn't know much about swordsmanship, excelled in combat.The dogs bit the throats of the Calemon soldiers.Everything went very well, and the victory was finally in hand.However, at this time, Jill noticed something strange, which caused a terrible chill to rise in her heart, so much so that she couldn't help but shiver.Although a Calemon soldier falls with every sword slash from Narnia's warriors, the number of Calemon soldiers does not seem to have diminished in the slightest.In fact, their numbers have increased a lot since they first started, and they are increasing by the minute.They rushed up from all directions.These were the Kalemen soldiers who had just arrived.These new soldiers all had sharp spears in their hands.The enemy forces were so numerous that Jill could barely see her companions.At this moment, she heard King Tillian shouting, "Retreat, retreat to the rocks," and enemy reinforcements had arrived.The drums of war have fulfilled their mission.t1706231537:
