A hundred horses galloped away together, each in several groups, and rushed towards the mountain surrounded by the riding slaves.

At the foot of the mountain, Cao Cao led his entourage to turn his head from the official road and plunge into the forest.

Yuan Shao is in a deeper place, and Yuan Shu is the same.

Ma Yue led the three Lijing retinue and Liang Yuan, tied the horses to the side of the official road, dismounted and slowly paced into the deep forest.

In terms of prestige, he is lower than others, but in terms of hunting experience, he is enough to throw these noble sons in Luoyang City to Longguan, which of them has spent a summer in the forest?

Ma Yue's hunting target this time is not much, he only needs to decorate the façade with some decent prey to carry out the New Year's sacrifice, but the burden on Liang Yuan's shoulders is not easy, at the beginning of the new year, all officials have to wear brand new court clothes to congratulate His Majesty, Liang Hu is now two thousand stone Shangshu Ling, need to offer a lamb, there is a family, but in the next year to transfer to the six hundred stone thorn history, you need to offer a wild goose, it is difficult.

This is winter, and geese are not easy to hunt, so most of them will have to send people to buy them, but if they are lucky, the bow and arrow in Liang Yuan's hand can be regarded as useful.

Four serious Liangzhou hunters carried javelins into the forest, and soon scattered to look for traces of prey, there were not many animals that came out in winter, but they still asked Ma Yue to find clues.

The two-petal footprints in the snow look very fresh, but I am afraid that they were left by yesterday evening.

Wild boars mostly move at dusk, and most of them hide in the woods during the day, and may also be next to the river, so that when they encounter natural predators, they can quickly cross the river and leave without leaving a smell, and Ma Yue knows where the nearest river is.

Although wild boars live in groups, they are not terrible for Ma Yue, their spears are enough to penetrate the hard skin of wild boars, not to mention that the herd in winter is much smaller than in summer, at most three or five male wild boars.

Tracing the two footprints, Ma Yue found worn tree trunks, frozen urine stains on the snow, and black feces...... It's all on the surface, and they're getting closer.

Turning over the hillside, the vision of Ma Yue and the others suddenly broadened, and on the south bank of Yushui, Ma Yue found the target.

It was a small herd of wild boars, which looked to be about twelve or thirteen heads, with eight or nine small pigs more than one meter long, and three large pigs, of which two males and one female. I saw that the two male wild boars were more than one and a half meters long, and their upper bodies were extremely strong, and their curved fangs were flashing with blue light, and no one would want to compete with such fangs.

Ma Yue gestured to Liang Yuan, let him stay here, and led the three sturdy Li Jing retinue to bypass the upwind and touch it, the crossbow had been thrown to Liang Yuan, Ma Yue held a short axe in his left hand, and walked in front with a spear in his right hand, slowly approaching the target. For the defense of wild boars, the power of the hand crossbow is too small.

There are many kinds of Han crossbows, such as the crossbow, the arm crossbow, the hunting crossbow, and the hand crossbow, among which the hand crossbow is undoubtedly the least powerful and the fastest one with the fastest rate of fire. It's okay to shoot some small animals such as rabbits, but wild boars, which are hard-furred beasts, can't be harmed by crossbows.

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps.

The wild boars seemed to sense the movement, two sturdy males surrounded the piglets, and the sows became restless.

Ma Yue and the others hurriedly leaned down, hiding between the snow and the fluffy grass, the wild boar is a very fierce beast, the speed and strength of the charge even exceed the galloping horse, if it is found at a distance not close enough, once this kind of big beast charges first, Ma Yue and the others will become quite dangerous.

They crouched motionless, carefully waiting for the boar to lose its vigilance, and then moved forward again, this time more carefully than before.

Fifty paces, they could already hear the little pig humming and keep moving forward!

Thirty steps, Ma Yue and the others stopped, this is the downwind, their smell will not be smelled by wild boars, but if they get closer, there is a great possibility of being discovered, but if they want to throw spears with enough damage, they have to go at least five steps further!

One step, two steps, every step is thrilling!

Ma Yue's four people's spears are carefully crafted by craftsmen, the arm-length spear ruler-long blade is made of steel into three edges, the front is heavy and the back is light, the single handle weighs seven catties, and after throwing, it will hit the enemy with an arc-shaped parabola, causing greater damage than straight line throwing, and it is also more powerful!

"Oh no, it's been discovered!"

When a male wild boar twisted his nose and tilted his head at him, Ma Yue knew that they had been discovered, and immediately threw his spear back without hesitation.

At the same time, the boar's strong hooves stepped on the snow and slammed into him fiercely.

The spear burst through the air, piercing the boar's back to the depth of his forearm, but this did not affect the boar in the slightest, and he still slammed into Ma Yue unabated.

Ma Yue had faced the cavalry charge many times and narrowly escaped death, but he still felt an inextricable palpitation when the ferocious boar charged at him.

Despite the absence of a knight's blade.

Ma Yue pulled out the second spear from his back, and the wild boar was already within ten paces, and the spears of the three young men also shot out.

Throwing spears into the snow behind the boar, the other two hit the boar's body, only then did the momentum stop the momentum, the speed slowed down, and when the boar rushed in front of him, Ma Yue twisted the spear and strode sharply to the left, almost at the same time the short spear was inserted between the boar's eyes.

Skull, shattered.

There was no respite at all, and the second boar was already close at hand, and there was no time to draw the spear and have no chance to dodge again, and the horse leaned forward more violently, and ran into the boar that was galloping forward.

His axe was thrown to the ground, his hands clutching the fangs that had protruded from the boar's mouth...... As a result of the battle between the two sides, Ma Yue was defeated, and the wild boar took a few steps back with his head bowed, and his feet ploughed through the snow with two marks that could be passed deep.

Ma Yue held his breath in his chest, and his limbs seemed to be inexhaustible, but he couldn't use all his strength, so he could only be pushed back until the power of the wild boar's charge was completely digested, and then he had the opportunity to twist his body violently and push the wild boar forward and take a step backwards.

Just when Ma Yue and the wild boar were competing, the Li Jing entourage was not as idle as Ma Yue, seven or eight little wild boars under the leadership of the sow all rushed towards them, saying that it was a small wild boar, but all of them were born in the spring, all weighing more than 100 catties.

In the midst of the wailing of a little pig, Ma Yue roared violently, threw the boar that was fighting with him to the ground, stepped on the relatively soft belly, and punched the hideous boar in the neck.

At this moment, this ferocious enemy was killed.

Looking around, there were already piglets running towards the river, the sow was stabbed with a spear in her body, and she ran away with difficulty, and the Lijing retinue was about to catch up, and Ma Yue gasped and drank to stop them.

"Hunting is not for survival, just for face, and you don't have to kill them all."
