Chapter 1124 Hard Move
Sima Ping stood up and brushed off the dust on his body. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Lu Yuanpeng, and then followed the main group forward: “You are quite proud.”
Lv Yuanpeng chased after Sima Ping with a grin, but his eyes were still stinging from the burning sensation: “Do you have a handkerchief? Lend it to me, my eyes are stinging! But I didn’t bring a handkerchief when I went out!”
Sima Ping originally wanted to ask Lv Yuanpeng if he was a girl and why he had to carry a handkerchief when going out. Suddenly, he remembered that when they first entered Pingyang City, a little girl of five or six years old knew that they were the Bai family army, so she wrapped snacks in a handkerchief and shared them with them. He carried the handkerchief with him and originally wanted to return it to the girl.
He fumbled for a long time and found the handkerchief from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Lu Yuanpeng’s arms: “I’ll go first!”
Lu Yuanpeng wrapped up some snow on the roadside with a handkerchief, wiped his very red and swollen eyes, and sighed comfortably: “Ah… much better!”
Wang Dong rode over quickly, originally to urge the team behind to speed up, but he suddenly saw Lv Yuanpeng wiping his tears with a handkerchief. He didn’t recognize Lv Yuanpeng and shouted, “How can a grown man cry like this!”
Lu Yuanpeng removed the handkerchief from his eyes and raised his head, shouting in a nasal voice, “I’m not crying! My eyes are irritated!”
Sima Ping, who had already walked to the front, held back his laughter.
Wang Dong was startled when he saw that it was Lv Yuanpeng. He pretended to be Lv Yuanpeng, and even with his nasal voice, he was very convincing. He nodded and said, “General Bai, pass the order. There is no need to clean up the battlefield yet. Let the team speed up to prevent the Tianfeng State Elephant Army from retreating.”
After the order was given, Wang Dong turned his horse around and galloped forward. He could not help thinking that after the battle was over, he would have to tell his master not to let Captain Lu’s grandson go to the front line, but to let him be the head of the fire corps! Look at how scared the child was when he went to the battlefield… He even cried like that.

After coughing for a while, Sar Khan, who was running all the way with the giant elephant, noticed that the pungent smell in the air had dissipated. He gasped heavily on the back of the galloping giant elephant, and the speed of the giant elephant also slowed down.
Some of the giant elephants fell down not long after they walked forward, their breathing fluctuating violently, and no matter how they blew the bone whistles, the giant elephants did not stand up again.
Khasar Khan and his men did not dare to stop, for fear that the pursuers would catch up.
The disciple of the Great Wizard was so shocked that his face was covered with tears. He wiped the tears off his face with his sleeves, turned back to count their losses, and said, “Most of them were lost! Most of our war elephants… died in the ambush just now. The Yan people and Zhou people are too shameless! They dare not fight head-on, so they can only use this kind of dirty tricks.”
“There are no dirty tricks on the battlefield. Only hard tactics can win!” Sar Khan’s eyes burned with blazing fire. “Charge across the Danshui River and send a message to Akshay to bring the elephant army to join us!”
The Tianfeng Kingdom had all the advantages of time, place and people. He was too conceited and thought that to deal with the cold weather, he just needed to cover the giant elephants with furs and the elephants would still be able to roam this land. But he had never seen snow… and didn’t know that the snow would be so slippery.
The elephant was huge and wore armor, so it was quite difficult for it to stand up on the slippery ground after slipping.
In addition, the people of Zhou and Yan were treacherous. They chose to occupy the high ground and attack with fire, and then used such poisonous smoke to attack. Not only would the elephant army be useless, but it would also become a burden.
At this time, Sar Khan felt somewhat regretful. The Tianfeng Kingdom should not have killed so many slaves. If they had not killed so many slaves, they would not only have elephant troops, but also troops that could fight hand-to-hand with the Zhou and Yan people.
By this time, Sar Khan finally understood that it was impossible to lower his posture and negotiate with the Great Zhou and Great Yan. The Yan and Zhou countries were planning to destroy their elephant army…
He had overestimated the kings of Zhou and Yan, and also because Tianfeng State had relied on the elephant army and had never encountered an opponent over the years.
But none of this matters. It doesn’t matter how many elephant soldiers are sacrificed. What matters is finding Yu Chan… As long as he can go back in time, all his elephant soldiers will come back.
As long as time could go back, he would no longer be anxious. He would first let the great witch come to this land to find the owner chosen by the gods, kill the owner of this land, and then let the people of Xiliang grow food for their Tianfeng Kingdom. When the cold winter passed and the land warmed up in spring, he would lead the elephant army to destroy the Great Zhou and Yan in one breath and turn this land into the granary of his Tianfeng Kingdom.
There has never been a moment when Sar Khan wanted to find the jade cicada left in the Great Zhou more than now.
Shen Kunyang, who was lying in ambush on both sides of the Hanwen Mountain Valley, had already felt the shaking of the ground beneath his feet, which was the vibration caused by the running elephants.
Not only Shen Kunyang, but all the soldiers of the Great Zhou who were ambushing on both sides felt the shaking of the mountain.
More than 10,000 people were lying in ambush on both sides of the valley, and the exit of the valley had long been blocked by chevaux de frise and boulders covered with pine oil, waiting to take action as soon as the giant elephant arrived.
Pine oil, kerosene, and any oil that could start a fire were all sent here from Pingyang City and several other counties in order to deal with the giant elephant.
Shen Kunyang’s eyes were calm. He waited until all the elephant troops entered the range of their attack before giving an order.
“Hurry up! Get out!” Sar Khan shouted, “Quickly cross the Danshui River! Quick!”
Maybe it was because of the ambush at the entrance to the Hanwen Valley, but the wind seemed to carry the smell of pine oil and kerosene. The Great Wizard’s disciple held on to the seat of the giant elephant tightly and turned to look at the solemn-looking Sar Khan: “In front…”
“Stop!” Sar Khan reacted faster than the great wizard’s disciples. Without waiting for the great wizard’s disciples to speak, he shouted to stop. The soldiers around Sar Khan hurriedly blew bone whistles.
The rushing elephant army slowly stopped. Sar Khan raised his wet red eyes and looked back and forth above the valley. The Great Zhou had already ambushed before, so would they… set an ambush here again?
Shen Kunyang kept his composure and watched the elephant army slowly stop without rushing to take action. Now half of the elephant army of Tianfeng Kingdom was in their attack range, and the other half was still outside. If they took action now, the ones behind might turn back. What if the Fifth Young Master was leading people to clean up the battlefield, and these elephant soldiers rushed back, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Shen Kunyang wanted to destroy all the elephant troops here at once.
“Maybe…” The disciple of the Great Wizard could only hear the sound of the wind, the panting of the elephants and their footsteps. He thought he was being overly suspicious, so he looked at Sar Khan and said, “Maybe the smell I smelled just now was brought here by the wind!”
“Your Majesty! The pursuers are coming from behind!” The general who was left at the rear came riding an elephant and shouted loudly to Sar Khan.
