Chapter 572 Crocodile
"Old Feng, you and Miss Yue will take some people into the valley and bring Mu Anbang and the others out."
Feng Qizheng nodded, "Yes!"
Leian carefully searched the camp of the Showa army, and there was indeed something that slipped through the net and was hiding inside.
No nonsense, just cut it.
Ning Chen’s order was to leave no one behind.
After cleaning up, Ning Chen came to Sakamoto Mitsuki's camp to rest!
Lei An reported that in addition to the weapons of the Showa army, their armor and food seemed to come from Daxuan.
Ning Chen looked ugly. No need to guess, these supplies were provided by the old thief King Rui.
Lei An said: "General, in addition to food and grass, they also have thousands of new sets of armor and combat boots."
"Are there any gold or silver treasures?"
Leian shook his head, "Not found yet!"
"Where are the warships? Their raid will definitely involve warships, as well as the warships they snatched from Mu Anbang. These must be found."
There was a map in the camp. Ning Chen came to the map and observed it for a while, "This tributary is the closest to us. If my prediction is correct, the warship will dock here."
Leian stepped forward and looked at it for a while, then said: "The general will send people to investigate right now."
Ning Chen was about to nod when suddenly bursts of exclamations came from outside and the horses neighed.
The two were startled and were about to go out when a Ning'an Army soldier ran in with a look of panic on his face, "General, general... there are many monsters outside."
monster?
Ning Chen was a little confused, where did the monster come from?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Ning Chen came outside and was shocked when he saw the situation clearly.
I saw countless crocodiles appearing out of nowhere? They are tearing apart the corpses of the Showa army.
Ning Chen carefully identified it and found that it seemed to be a crocodile.
No, why did the crocodile appear here?
Crocodiles are tropical or subtropical species that live in coastal areas of Southeast Asia.
There are no wild crocodiles in China.
Suddenly, Ning Chen slapped his head, this is another world, not China anymore.
This is Duanfeng Ridge, which is covered with heavy snow on one side and warm and humid on the other. Moreover, the crocodile lives in fresh water, so the conditions here are suitable for the survival of the crocodile.
Maybe this is not a crocodile at all, but a species similar to the crocodile.
But these crocodiles are so big. The big ones are five or six meters long, and the small ones are more than three meters long. They are vicious and ugly.
No wonder the horses neighed and the soldiers panicked.
Leian exclaimed, "This... this seems to be a falcon. I've seen it in books."
Transportation in this world is difficult. If it weren't for King Rui's rebellion, these soldiers would never be able to come to the Eastern Territory in their lifetime.
Therefore, everyone has never seen this kind of thing, and it is normal to be afraid of unknown things.
Leian had only seen records about falcon dragons in books, but what he saw with his own eyes was different from what he saw in books... These things were much larger than what was recorded in books.
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Yes, it's the Dragon."
The dragon is a crocodile, and some people call it a pig dragon.
Ning Chen came to the front and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic!"
Seeing Ning Chen, the soldiers calmed down a lot.
Ning Chen looked at the crocodiles biting the corpses of Showa soldiers and said to himself that if you eat these things, you won't be afraid of getting dwarfism.
There are many swamps and smaller tributaries nearby. These crocodiles must be living nearby and were attracted by the smell of blood.
Ning Chen's eyes lit up. Crocodile skin is a good thing. If it is made into armor, it has strong defense and is much lighter than iron armor.
If those noble ladies in the past saw this, they would jump up in excitement... With so many crocodiles, how many bags would it take to make?
"Give me the bow and arrows!"
Ning Chen stretched out his hand.
A soldier quickly took off the compound bow from his back and handed it to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen drew the bow and took aim for a long time, and finally returned the compound bow to the soldier.
To be honest, his archery skills are average.
Ning Chen took out the dagger, raised his hand and swung it!
Whoosh! ! !
The dagger turned into a cold light and shot out, directly entering the eye of a crocodile.
The crocodile rolled a few times and then stopped moving.
Ning Chen ordered, "Their weak point is their eyes. If you are good at archery, shoot their eyes. Don't get close. Attack them from a distance. Remember not to use guns and don't anger them."
Once such a big crocodile is bitten by them, it will roll to death, let alone humans and horses.
Wu Tiezhu took the lead in bending his bow and setting an arrow.
Whoosh! ! !
The arrow shot directly into the eye of a crocodile, penetrated its lower jaw, and nailed it to the ground.
Wu Tiezhu is a marksman.
Others took action one after another.
Some of the arrows missed and hit the crocodile's back, but were bounced away.
This defensive power made Ning Chen extremely happy.
However, the crocodile was also enraged and dropped the bodies of the Showa soldiers. Some began to flee, and some opened their mouths and rushed towards the Ning'an Army.
These behemoths may seem bulky, but they are not slow at all when running.
Ning Chen grabbed a rebar from Ning'an Army and threw it out.
The rebar pierced a crocodile's head, pinning it to the ground.
"Everyone, be careful. Once bitten by this thing, you will either die or be disabled!"
There were too many crocodiles rushing over, and they were so densely packed that it made one’s scalp numb just to see them.
These crocodiles were already enraged, and Ning Chen directly ordered to shoot.
"Hit them on the head, not the body. Their skin is of great use."
"Fuck...come back and stay away. Are you looking for death?"
Ning Chen cursed angrily.
One soldier actually wanted to fight in close combat.
A soldier swung a rebar and hit the crocodile's head. I don't know if he was too nervous, but the crocodile bit the rebar and threw him away.
Several crocodiles nearby rushed towards him quickly.
The soldier looked at the crocodile's bloody mouth full of fangs and was scared to death.
Ning Chen was like a ghost, flying on the ground, flashed in front of him, grabbed his leg and dragged him back.
"You are looking for death, retreat... Just attack from a distance, don't get close!"
Dare to fight these behemoths in close combat, courage is commendable... These crocodiles are not Showa people.
Once bitten, the lightest is to lose arms and legs.
The soldiers gained experience as they killed.
"General, Deputy General Feng is back!"
Ning Chen turned his head and saw a group of people coming out of the valley.
"Yuan Long, keep killing as many as you can...If these crocodiles retreat, don't chase them!"
"Yes!"
Ning Chen turned and walked towards Feng Qizhen who was rushing over.
When Mu Anbang saw Ning Chen, he was ashamed and knelt down.
Three thousand soldiers also knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.
"I have failed in my duty and deserve death. Please punish me, General!"
Ning Chen frowned at him and said angrily: "Mu Anbang, you really deserve to die...Twenty-five thousand people, only these are left."
"I really want to know, how did you, the commander of the Changling Army, get promoted?"
Mu Anbang hung his head, ashamed to death.
"I failed in my duty and I am willing to die to apologize... Please help me, General."
Ning Chen looked at him coldly, "We lost fifty warships and so many soldiers died... You just say die to apologize and that's it?"
"Such a big mistake has been made, and you die... Who will avenge those dead soldiers?"
"If you want to die, you have to wait until Xiangzhou is conquered... Isn't it too easy for you to die now?"
