In the absence of wind, a wildfire may not be able to burn several kilometers in a day. \ Arson is a tactic that is basically familiar to everyone in China.
Ju sent fifty elephants to spread out from the northeast to the northwest of the front, and in less than half an hour, the mountain fire broke out.
And soon they were connected together, and under the blessing of the northwest wind, they burned in the southeast direction.
A few kilometers downwind, the people of the ten directions saw the smoke, the people who were in ambush on the hillside walked down the mountain, and the people who were building boats by the river stopped what they were doing, and they all looked up to the northwest.
They had moved one step faster than Huaxia before, so the scouts were all ambushed by them.
Further south, some of the Ten Directions invaded the Orca village in advance, and after paying a certain number of casualties, they won several victories, which also made the entire Ten Directions tribe quite confident.
Before, the tribes of the Ten Directions were anxious because they lacked food and clothing.
But the killer whale villages are too rich.
In each of their houses, there is enough food for hundreds of people to eat for a day or a few days.
They have a lot of livestock in each village, which is also good food for the people of Shifang.
A big guy like a mammoth can kill one head enough for thousands of people to eat for a day, and there are often several in every village.
Moreover, the clothes of the Chinese people are delicate and warm, and the various tools are also extremely elite.
The Shifang people only captured a few villages, and the food they obtained was enough to keep them through until the snow, and most of the leaders also wore Lisuo warm clothes and used various weapons such as firewood knives and axes.
If they capture a few more villages, even if the women in the back come, it is estimated that they will not be hungry.
At this time, they are no longer in a hurry, and they are at ease to block the attack.
Those to the south continued to attack the villages.
They guessed that the advance troops of Huaxia would arrive soon, but they did not guess that the situation of the arrival would be like this.
Many people were secretly annoyed after seeing such a fire, the Huaxia people had already begun to set fire to a large area in the territory of Shifang, how could they not think of this The fire took advantage of the wind and moved forward.
The people of the ten directions did not dare to stay in the ambush place for long, and hurried to the bank of the river.
The boat-builders and rowers on the river bank hurriedly got the rafts over to ferry the people, and many people with good water quality jumped directly into the river and swam to the other side.
However, the river is about 30 meters wide after all, and the number of rafts is not very large, and the river water is cold at this time, and many people retreat back after entering the water, so the speed of crossing the river is not fast.
There was a commotion of two or three thousand people on the riverbank, and not even a third of the people who crossed the river.
Dust fell overhead, and most of the people were almost forced into the river by the fire.
One of the leaders of the Ten Directions jumped out and said, "Light the fire, light the fire, and we will burn it too."
First of all, burn the things that can be burned by the river. ” Everyone came back to their senses and burned the grass and trees around them, and although the riverbank was dark, they were no longer afraid of the fire.
After a while, the fire burned, and sure enough, it burned to the places where there were plants and trees on both sides.
Because the river bank was relatively low, and it was not smoky by the fire, the people of the Ten Directions tribe were also a little happy because they had escaped this calamity, and those who crossed the river no longer continued to cross to the opposite side.
Because they found that the fire seemed to be driving the beasts of the forest towards them.
It is important to know that there are many wild animals in the forests in this era, and many animals may be difficult to find even when hunting, but it does not mean that there are no in the forest.
A single fire can often drive many animals out of the forest.
When the people of the Ten Directions burned the road to open up the forest, they drove out a lot of wild beasts that they had not found in the past, and let them get a lot of meat.
The experienced hunter clearly felt a considerable tremor on the ground, and judged that large animals were running towards the forest.
The people of the Ten Directions were ready to hunt, and when the line of fire approached, there were indeed a lot of beasts such as yellow muntjac and wild boars in the forest.
These beasts rushed into the crowd in a panic, and were quickly slaughtered and slaughtered on the spot by the people of the Ten Directions.
When the people of the Ten Directions sucked the fresh blood of the beast and celebrated the harvest, the line of fire behind them burned through the fire.
The fire split in two and burned on both sides.
More tall beasts appeared in the middle of the line of fire.
The people of Shifang turned their heads in surprise and glanced at it, and then it turned into horror.
Five hundred black-and-ash elephants rode through the burning canopy and roared from under the towering black trees, the slightly sloping banks of the river making it easy for them to accelerate, and when the first elephant entered the crowd, the screams of the crowd had not yet attracted the attention of those at the end.
The two or three thousand people gathered on the bank of the river were almost slaughtered one-sidedly, and many did not dare to resist and turned their heads and jumped into the river.
But the river is not a safe place either.
The entire surface of the river was covered by the bows and arrows of the Chinese elephants, and anyone who jumped into the river could be shot with bows and arrows if they showed their heads.
The people of the Ten Directions on the other side also tried to support their own people with throwing weapons or bows and arrows.
But there are more accidental injuries than kills.
And they were quickly taken care of by the bow and arrow, and could only stand back and watch their companions kill on the other side or in the river.

In this battle on the bank of the river, Huaxia killed more than 2,000 enemies with 500 elephant horses, and countless people were killed or wounded or washed away by the river.
From the beginning of this battle, the two sides were in full battle.
The leader of the Ten Directions has moved to the vicinity of Octopus Town.
When I received the news of this battle, I received the news that several ferries had been attacked and that women and children had been intercepted.
At the same time, the current situation is not optimistic.
After several villages in the north of Octopus Town were captured, the rest of the villages and Octopus Town were completely under martial law overnight, and the people of the Ten Directions had to pay great casualties to conquer these villages.
After grabbing a certain amount of food, many people from the ten directions became cowering and did not dare to storm these villages.
The offensive scene was at a stalemate.
"They won't kill all the women and children.
As long as we defeat these Huaxia people head-on here, we will definitely be able to bring them back.
We will also avenge the vengeance of our fellow soldiers.
The leader of the Ten Directions analyzed.
Women and children don't matter.
It was important that they break through Octopus Town and the surrounding villages as soon as possible, get enough metal tools to arm themselves, and then fight or go.
According to their habits, the next thing is to find an empty place to run away.
If women and children are concerned, they can rob Huaxia or other tribes on the way.
As long as they have metal tools in their hands, as long as they avoid the Huaxia people, where they can't win as for revenge, that's a rhetoric.
They did not have the courage to face the main force of Huaxia.
The leaders planned accordingly and intensified their attacks on Octopus Town and surrounding villages.
It's just that there are no harrier eagles rising and falling between these villages, which makes the resistance of the people inside more and more resolute.
The main force of the Hong An camp arrived near Octopus Town two days later.
This time, the people of the ten directions exchanged gifts and first lit a few wildfires for the Chinese people.
The wildfire burned around Octopus Town for several days, and over the course of a few days, the Ten Directions conquered all the villages except Octopus Town and obtained a large number of metal weapons.
But there is not much food.
After the village was breached, those hateful Chinese people would often burn down their food and houses as soon as possible, and then try their best to protect the women and children and kill them, often not surrendering.
When the surrounding wildfires were extinguished and the people of Shifang were about to flee, they found that the three directions of Octopus Town were already full of enemies.
The escape techniques of the Ten Directions no longer worked
