66. Hunting (2)

The siege began, and the 1,500 cavalry of the Jinyang Forbidden Army and the Jining Army spread a large net at the mouth of the valley about fifty miles north of Baiquanzi. The cavalry, in a group of fifty people, rushed to the designated place at the mouth of the valley overnight to lay an ambush.

The herdsmen of the tribe and the military households of Tunpu were mobilized to expel the wild beasts in the mountains and forests from the west, south, and east of Gray Liangshan. According to the scout's report, the wolves were hiding in a wooded area in the Grey Beam Mountains. Almost every shepherd was holding a big dog in his hand, and the people shouted and barked, making the whole silent mountain forest suddenly lively.

The pre-dawn is the darkest hour, and the cold wind blows in the mountains of the steppe, and the cold wind blows people breathlessly.

The eastern sky gradually turns white.

A thousand cavalry, together with a team of thousands of improvised beast-driving troops under the command of the leader or leader, slowly dispersed and began to march towards the foot of the mountain. The team dispersed, separated by more than ten steps, and turned into a long queue, gradually deepening towards Gray Liang Mountain from three directions.

Suddenly, the leader of the team roared in a loud voice: "Yo ho...... Oh......"

Suddenly, the silent grassland and mountains became boiling: "Oh ho...... Yo ......"

The echo of the exorcism of wild beasts reverberated in the mountains and forests for a long time. The hounds and sheepdogs began to bark and join in the shouting.

In the midst of the sound, many people lit torches, and the crowd was surging, and the queue of flames was like waves, crushing towards the snow-covered mountains and forests......

The sound and the light of the fire had a terrifying intimidating power for the beasts, and the beasts in the mountains and forests, after being frightened, fled desperately towards the north where there was no movement.

Li Ji??、 Li Jize, and Zhou Tingyu were immediately on a hillside, listening to the sound of people shouting and barking from several mountains. Li Ji?? Looking up at the sky, there was already a hint of light red among the thin clouds in the east. By the dim light, he lit up the hunting ground in front of him, an open and gentle valley, and a wide valley to the north. In the center of the valley is a large blister, about 100 zhang in circumference.

The surface of the blisters has formed a thick layer of ice, and it is covered with about a foot of snow, which makes it appear particularly flat.

The cavalry were now lying in ambush behind the hills, and would kill the wolves from all sides as soon as they were driven into the encirclement.

Some of the faster yellow sheep have begun to rush through the encirclement, fleeing from the valleys in the north to the grasslands in the north. The soldiers had been ordered not to hunt wild beasts even if they saw them fleeing from under their noses.

Zhou Tingyu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the frost on his lips when he saw the roe deer and yellow sheep that had escaped, holding the bow handle tightly in his hand. It can be seen that he is a little unwilling.

There were more and more wild beasts fleeing in panic, and the largest group actually had nearly two hundred yellow sheep, which made people itch to watch.

"The wolves are coming!" Li Jize looked at the opposite hill and said this.

A few people looked in the direction he pointed, and saw four gray figures appear on the top of the mountain about two miles away, one of which was particularly tall.

"The biggest one should be the wolf king, don't rob me!" Zhou Tingyu muttered in a low voice.

The wolf seemed to be aware of the danger and kept an eye in their direction.

Farther away, the shouts grew clearer and louder.

After a few wild asses entered the valley, in the dim light of the early morning, several gray wolves could be seen emerging from the grass, but they wandered back and forth on the edge of the valley, looking around, but did not dare to enter the ambush circle. Behind them, another group of wolves could be seen faintly visible, also looking and wandering, and seemed to be aware of the danger in front of them.

The problem was that the shouts of killing behind him were getting closer and closer, and there were already figures on the hill behind the wolf, and their shouts and the howls of the hounds frightened the wolves even more.

Seeing that the wild asses were about to pass through the valley unharmed, the wolf let out a long howl, and after hearing the cry, several wolves led the wolves to follow the wild ass and began to run wildly.

Li Jize raised his right hand.

"Uh......h Woo......" The horn of the charge sounded suddenly, and the cavalry that had been prepared for a long time rushed out from all sides of the ambush site. The dozen yellow sheep and roe deer that had not yet broken out of the encirclement, as well as the wild asses, were quickly shot and killed in the snow of the valley by the cavalry who rushed out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the wolves who were breaking through suddenly stopped, turned around and ran back.

It's a pity that the cavalry on both sides has been outflanked, the arrows are like flying locusts, and one by one the vicious wolves were nailed to the ground by feathered arrows, and the wolves were reduced by half in the blink of an eye.

When the wolf king, who had just escaped from the foot of the mountain, saw this, he let out a long wail in his mouth, and the wolves immediately began to scatter and flee.

The cavalry's horses galloped faster, especially in terms of endurance, and the riders on the horses saw the wolves scattering, and wanted to take advantage of the characteristics of their flexible bodies, intending to break through separately, they hung up their riding bows, drew their swords, or held the lassos that had been prepared long ago, and chased the fleeing wolves.

The wolf king's body suddenly stopped, and then he turned around and led the wolves to flee towards a mountain pass.

Zhou Tingyu had already stared at the wolf king, where was he willing to let it escape, and chased after him with more than a dozen people.

Seeing that the wolf king was about to flee into a small forest, he saw a dog barking in the woods, and several fierce hunting mouths rushed out of the forest and pounced on the wolves. The wolf king hesitated for a moment, and then saw a stout sheepdog rush in front of him and pounce on the wolf king.

The red-haired wolf king's body slammed into the ground, knocked the sheepdog to the ground, lowered his head and bit hard.

These movements cause a brief pause in the body.

"Stretch!"

Zhou Tingyu, who had only listened to the sound of the bowstring and had been staring at it, saw this unforgiving opportunity to shoot an arrow, and the armor-piercing cone penetrated the wolf's body and nailed the wolf king to the ground. As the wolf king struggled to its feet, a shining saber slashed through its neck......

The chase lasted only about two pillars of incense, and more than 150 of the huge pack of nearly 200 wolves were killed, and the rest fled into the mountains and forests.

Bloody in one place.

The soldiers of the Jining Army quickly jumped off their horses, skillfully peeled off the wolf skin at the wolf's mouth with the knife they carried, and then pulled it down and peeled it off, peeling the wolf skin while it was hot.

The crowd that had driven the wolves also arrived, cheering and watching as the soldiers were collecting their spoils, and the snow was littered with bloody wolf corpses.

Li Ji?? Seeing this bloody and hilarious scene, he couldn't help sighing and said to Li Jize beside him: "Alas, it is said that the evil wolves on the grassland are the most cunning, but unfortunately they can't get humans." This man is the most terrible thing in the world......"
