Fortunately, they had known for a long time that Xiangcheng would send out elephant soldiers.
He Tiantian led the soldiers to rein in their horses. Seeing the elephant soldiers rushing towards them, she took out a cloth bag.
It was indeed a cloth bag. In order to prevent the anesthetic gun from being seen, she put a cloth bag on the outside.
The medicine is Mafei Powder prepared by Jiangnan. Increase the dose and it will be enough to kill an elephant.
The elephants are well trained, and when they see the people and horses on the opposite side, they rush over like crazy one by one.
He Tiantian sat firmly on the horse, aimed at the elephant, and fired the first shot.
The elephant was shot, which aroused its anger even more. It ran faster, but this situation did not last long. The elephant staggered and fell to the ground.
The elephant behind could not stop and was tripped by the head elephant. The elephant soldiers suddenly became confused.
But the soldiers and horses led by He Tiantian stood still and did not move at all.
The elephant soldiers piled up into a hill in the front, and the elephants behind saw the tragic situation and went crazy and ran around in all directions.
The entire valley only became quiet in the evening. Needless to say, it was brutal, and the valley was filled with a strong smell of blood.
As for He Tiantian, not only was he unscathed, but he also had a few pieces of dried meat to replenish his energy.
"Listen, Xiangcheng defenders!" He Tiantian's voice shook the valley, "Emperor Renwu has an order not to kill the surrendering troops! I'll give you three days. If you don't surrender, we will attack the city by force!"
The valley echoed, but there was no response from the other party.
He Tiantian ignored it and led his troops to clear the battlefield. After the death of the elephant, a corpse explosion would occur, so it must be dealt with in advance.
After cleaning up the elephant carcasses, the valley has reached the end, and the Elephant City is not far away.
The army was encamped outside the city.
Logically speaking, He Tiantian led his army to break through the valley bravely, and the defenders of Xiangcheng should be very afraid. Surrender is the only option.
But three days later, He Tiantian did not wait for the letter of surrender from Xiangcheng. Instead, the city gate was closed tightly.
Inside the camp, Xu Qiushui was the first to speak: "General! We might as well attack hard!"
Li Xiujun also said: "Yes, we can't wait forever!"
But He Tiantian remained silent for a long time.
A forceful attack is not impossible, but there will definitely be casualties. Among them, the people who will suffer the most are the people of Xiangcheng.
As if he had read through her thoughts, Jiang Nan said, "Why don't we wait for two more days and see."
The soldiers were silent for a moment, and Xu Qiushui said first: "If we wait any longer, will there be reinforcements?"
He Tiantian then spoke: "Send someone to make a statement. In the last two days, no matter whether it is the common people or the city defenders, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Li Xiujun hesitated for a moment and answered.
They didn't know that before they captured the valley, rumors had spread all over Xiangcheng that Emperor Renwu's army was not human at all, but was made of jackals, tigers and leopards, and wanted to treat the people of Xiangcheng like fish.
In addition, the elephant soldiers were completely wiped out, and the people were even more convinced.
Therefore, no common people wanted to believe that Emperor Renwu's army would really surrender without killing anyone.
This kind of situation is like what Wang Yinxiangyu is happy to see.
He is the nephew of Yin Gu. He was originally the guard of Xiangcheng City, but because of the Yin family's merits in serving the dragon, he got the title of King of Xiang.
The prince's position has not yet been heated, but when the army comes to attack the city, he is asked to surrender and become a prisoner? That is absolutely impossible!
Therefore, he tried every means to secure his position as the Elephant King, but he didn't believe it. How many months of food and grass could Emperor Renwu's army carry?
According to his calculations, it would take another month at most before the food and fodder for Emperor Renwu's army would be exhausted, and he would still be his elephant king by then.
So this rumor was spread by him personally.
At this moment, he was sitting in his palace, enjoying himself eating meat and drinking wine, watching the dancing girl dancing gracefully.
Suddenly, someone came to report that Mo Zichuan had been discovered in the city!
"What? Is it really Mo Zichuan?!" Yin Xiangyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, this man is right outside the gate of the palace. He shouted that he was Mo Zichuan and told us to surrender quickly!"
Yin Xiangyu suddenly became energetic, put down his wine glass, stood up and walked out, "Quick! Lead the troops to surround! Be sure to capture him alive!"
He was named King Xiang just because he was Yin Gu's nephew. If he could capture Mo Zichuan alive, wouldn't he have to be transferred to the capital?
Besides, if Mo Zichuan could be captured alive, how dare the army of Emperor Renwu on the opposite side dare to act rashly?
No matter what, he benefited from this.
He hurriedly arrived at the gate of the palace.
Sure enough, there was a tall man standing outside the palace, holding a long sword and shouting loudly: "Where is the Elephant King? Let him come out!"
Yin Xiangyu looked at him from a distance and said in a deep voice: "Are you Mo Zichuan?"
"Exactly!" The man chuckled, "Are you the Elephant King? Why don't you surrender quickly!"
Yin Xiangyu laughed loudly, "Surrender? Why do you need to surrender when you are here? It's time for them to surrender to me!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come here! Take him down!"
Immediately, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the man.
Yin Xiangyu was very proud.
But he didn't notice that while the officers and soldiers were surrounding the man, a tall man was quietly approaching him.
The person who was surrounded at this time was not Zi Nu, but Liu Mu. Because the snow came early this year, the two were delayed for a while on the road and stayed in Xiangcheng for a while. They just happened to catch up with He Tiantian leading troops to attack Xiang.
city.
Hearing that the valley outside the city was being forced, Zi Nu also hoped that Xiangcheng would surrender, after all, this would cause the least loss.
Who would have expected that Yin Xiangyu, regardless of the life and death of the people, would spread rumors and refuse to surrender until death.
So the two of them devised this idea.
At this time, Zi Nu only needs to capture Yin Xiangyu to force the defenders to surrender in Kaicheng.
But just when Zi Nu was about to succeed, someone suddenly ran over and shouted loudly: "He is not Mo Zichuan!"
Liu Mu was suddenly startled.
Before taking action, he and Zi Nu tied up all the people accompanying them, but unexpectedly one escaped!
As soon as the shout came out, Yin Xiangyu frowned and shouted loudly: "He is not Mo Zichuan? Kill! Kill him!"
Zi Nu's heart suddenly tightened.
Liu Mu doesn’t know martial arts, which is too bad!
The two of them were walking together, and Liu Mu cooperated with him in this scene. He couldn't care about Liu Mu's life and death, so he could only change direction and cut a bloody path, saving people first!
He single-handedly fought his way into the ranks of officers and soldiers.
It's a pity that he is alone and weak, and he has to protect Liu Mu, so he may not be able to escape unscathed so easily.
"He has an accomplice? Ha! Let's kill him together!" Yin Xiangyu shouted loudly.
While Zi Nu was fighting hard, he suddenly heard Liu Mu shouting loudly: "Capture the thief first, capture the king! Leave me alone!"
After shouting, Liu Mu suddenly jumped out of Zi Nu's protective circle.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers' swords were about to fall on him, Zi Nu gritted his teeth angrily, "Brother Liu! I'm sorry!"
Liu Mu has already made sacrifices. If he hesitates any longer, he may be in vain.
Zi Nu gritted his teeth, took a step forward with his luck, and headed towards Yin Xiangyu.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers' swords fell, and Liu Mu was about to be chopped into pieces...
