Chapter 156: The Elephant is Mighty Speaking of this, Li Zhen's voice changed, gently patted the elephant under him, and smiled: "But now that there are elephants, there is no need to spare the places that were originally going to be bypassed, and this has saved nearly half of the distance."
And elephants are no worse than us (elephants walk at an average speed of 7.2 kilometers per hour, which is 14 miles, and people walk at this speed).
Moreover, the physique of elephants is basically nothing to dare to provoke in the forest, especially the elephant herd, even if the tiger sees it, it has to pretend to be cowardly, and it can run rampant.
The endurance is better than ours (elephants only need to rest for four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time is active), so they walk for five hours a day, which is nearly three hundred miles.
Of course, it may not be that fast in practice, but even so, if this trip goes well, then we will be able to meet Rengui and them in seven or eight days. ” "Really?"
Fang Yiai was overjoyed: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, it's great." ” However, Li Zhen sighed and said, "It's just that the enemy may not let us go so smoothly." ” This is for sure, the combat strength of the Young Army is already well known to the enemy, but the enemy has managed to divide the Young Hands Army into two parts, how can it be so easy to reunite?
What's more, the five thousand people under Li Zhen alone are already so difficult, if he and Xue Rengui are allowed to join up again, and the 20,000-strong youth army will charge, it will really be invincible.
Therefore, Li Zhen concluded that if the enemy wanted to solve himself, he would definitely be on the way to Fuchun and Xue Rengui to make peace, and the time should be in the last few days, otherwise it would be close to Fuchun, and if he besieged Li Zhen again, it would be easy to be rescued by Xue Rengui.
"This ......"
Speaking of this, Fang Yiai couldn't help frowning: "I don't know who the other party is and what the conspiracy is." ” "Hmph, no matter what conspiracy they have, this king can break it with a wave of his hand."
Li Zhen said confidently.
It's just that what he said was easy, but for the unknown enemy, he has not relaxed in his heart, Grandpa Mao said well, despise the enemy tactically, pay attention to the enemy strategically, no matter how weak the enemy is, Li Zhen will do his best to fight back this time.
Fang Yiai suddenly said: "Your Highness, you said that if the people of Linyi use these elephants to form elephant cavalry, then I am afraid that nothing can stop them." ” "Do you think it's easy to tame an elephant?"
Li Zhen pointed to the elephant herd behind him and said: "Otherwise, in the entire Belvedere, a big city of more than 50,000 people, we only got more than 200 elephants - this elephant is in Nanyang, but it is a very high-end mount, and ordinary people can't afford it."
And the elephant animal looks very fierce, but in fact the courage is very small, as long as a little frightened, it may be out of control, but the elephant is full of power, once out of control, run around, trampled to death is not necessarily who. ” "What's more, the elephant cavalry is indeed terrible, but we are not vegetarians, we have this thing, this shot goes down, even if the elephant is hit, it will not die or be seriously injured."
Li Zhen patted the hand cannon on his waist, this is his own personal weapon, and he has not produced much in total, and it is completely easy to deal with elephants.
Although its name is called a hand cannon, it is actually a pistol, but the caliber is much larger, and it is almost equal to the power of a sniper rifle.
However, the huge power also brings a huge recoil, and ordinary people don't dare to use it at all, otherwise the arm can be shocked and dislocated with one shot.
Of course, Li Zhen himself is not among them, he himself has the blessing of the innate divine power buff attribute, and he has been concocted by Qin Qiong for a few years, and it is simply easy to use the hand cannon - in fact, those who can wear the hand cannon basically have the attribute of innate divine power, such as Fang Yiai, such as Xue Rengui, the two of them also have one each, and Wu Meiniang also has one by his side, and the others are basically among Li Shimin's guards.
Fang Yiai agreed: "That's right, we still have guns, even if Lin Yi forms an elephant cavalry, what can we do?"
Not to mention our hand cannons, just ordinary rifles, as long as they can hit the vital point, they can also kill elephants. ” "That's why I'm not worried about the other party's conspiracy, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is doomed to be futile."
To be honest, Li Zhen really didn't feel how dangerous the other party's conspiracy was, and he had already considered everything before he came - Li Zhen didn't believe it, people at this time could see the long-term more than their own vision, and they could be more thoughtful than themselves.
"Speaking of the other party's conspiracy, is there any mention in the secret letter from the emperor to you?"
"No, the secret letter says another thing, and it has nothing to do with the enemy."
Li Zhen said: "But the things in the secret letter are too secret to let anyone know." ” "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates won't ask more."
Fang Yiai said, he didn't mean to ask, as Li Zhen's follower, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't know - the more he knew, the faster he would die. “……” This was the end of the conversation, and no one spoke, and everyone just hurried silently, and did not dare to fall behind, because in this dark forest, being behind is equivalent to death.
The whole army fell silent, and only the occasional elephant chirping brought a little vitality to the army.
After walking for another long time, Li Zhen estimated that he had walked nearly a hundred miles, and then suddenly said, "Wang Can, map." ” "Yes."
Wang Can immediately took out the map.
As a personal staff officer, Wang Can was able to mix with Li Zhen's elephant, instead of walking on two feet like the brothers below (elephants are powerful, but the target is too big, if they all sit on elephants, in case of a sneak attack by the enemy, there is really nowhere to hide), compared with them, he is simply too happy.
"Where are we now?
Where is the next target?
Opening the map, Li Zhen asked casually.
"At the speed of an elephant, we should be where we are now."
After calculating in his heart, Wang Can clicked on a location on the map: "As for the next target, Qingzhi, but half of us call this place Yueshang, because during the Han Dynasty, this place was Yueshang Country, of course, it is also a city in Linyi now, it should be two hundred to three hundred miles away from Rili, at the current speed of the elephant, two days is about the same time (three hundred miles a day before was ideal, but in fact it is impossible to be so fast, after all, it is the speed of an elephant, And most of the boys' army runs on the ground, two days and three hundred miles, and if they can't run for a few days, the boys' army will be abolished), and then they will be able to rest again. ” "Very good, it's really not early, tell me to go down and find a place to camp."
"Yes."
