Ang Qinfu had great respect for the three ladies, and when he knew that Wang Zezhi was going to bring him to Naturalization City, he no longer hesitated and immediately agreed.

With the flying eagle, Wang Zezhi was very happy.

It was the guards he brought who suffered heavy casualties and became a pain in his heart.

Wang Zezhi discussed with Ma Fu, and the next day he would go out of the city to set up an altar to worship the guards who died tragically.

Ma Fu patted his chest and assured him that the matter of setting up the altar would be handed over to him.

Ma Fu arranged Wang Zezhi's room and bowed out.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the snow was much lighter.

Outside the gate of the Acropolis, a small altar has been erected, and some wizards covered in mysterious tattoos are doing things around the altar.

Before the Mongol state, the steppe tribes had no leaders, no laws, only shamans.

They represent the heavens, the earth, the ghosts, and the gods, and only such shamans can communicate with the gods.

In Mongolian, male shamans are called "孛forehead" and female shamans are called "Yiduhan".

They not only divinate good fortune and predict the future, but also bear the birth, old age, sickness and death of the grassland herdsmen.

By the time of the Mongol Khanate, the status of shamans was still important.

At the beginning of Temujin's army, the shaman who defected to him declared that the gods had instructed him in a dream that Temujin would become the lord of the steppe, and that the heavens would give Temujin the title of "Genghis Khan".

Thus, Temujin was able to stand on the level of "gods" and unify the Mongolian steppe.

After the death of Ögedei, during the regency of Thanag, he reused the witch Fatima around him.

And after the death of Kiyu, during the reign of the sea lost, he also relied on the witches around him.

It was not until the time of Kublai Khan that the status of shamans was gradually weakened.

It was precisely because shamans were so important in the Mongol Khanate that they spoke of the will of the Heavens, and their means of caring for the wounded in the army were unquestionable.

These methods of rescue are mainly based on the god of jumping, or chanting mantras, sometimes with some ancestral or divine potions.

During the period of Lin Dan Khan, although the Lin Dan Khan regime believed in the Red Religion, and the leaders of the various tribes mostly believed in the Yellow Religion, the belief in sorcerers still occupied the vast majority among the people, but they were no longer active.

"Woo~"

When Wang Zezhi left the city, the wizard blew the trumpet.

He came to the altar with the heads of oxen and sheep, burned incense, and worshipped.

Wang Zezhi stood on the altar and looked at the snow in the distance.

It snowed heavily overnight, and now even the guards were covered with snow.

Wang Zezhi thought of Xiao Si, thought of the guards who fell under the ice and were crushed by dead trees, and didn't know if they could find their bodies underwater.

Thinking of this, Wang Zezhi felt sad from his heart, and couldn't help crying.

The surviving guards behind him were moved, even Ma Fu was concerned.

can follow such a general who loves soldiers like a son, and they all have a kind of emotion of dying for a confidant.

Just when Wang Zezhi was crying loudly, some wild wolves appeared sporadically on the grassland.

Seeing this, the shamans who were worshipping took out a large iron rod and a bronze utensil, and the two collided with each other and made a melodious metal collision sound.

When the wolves heard this, they whimpered and disappeared.

Wang Zezhi was attracted by the movement made by the wizards, and walked over to look.

He talked to the wizards to see if he could give him this thing, and he wanted to use it to keep the wolves safe.

However, the language is not understood, and both parties can't understand what the other party is saying for a long time.

A general who came to avoid the trouble in the town guard trotted over and bowed to Wang Zezhi and began to translate.

"My lord, they said that this is their magic weapon, and they can't give it away." The general translator said.

Wang Zezhi expressed his understanding.

Wizards' magic weapons don't give away, this is what they eat. Nuwa Library

Since you can't have their magic weapons, let's see how this kind of thing works.

Wang Zezhi just took a few serious glances and saw that he was tired.

It turned out that they were using the loud sound of metal striking to drive away the wolves.

Wolves are frightened by loud noises in nature that they are not exposed to, which is why the lama that night was able to scare the wolves with an iron rod.

Wang Zezhi remembered that there were several gongs in the town guards, which were used by the soldiers guarding the city to warn.

He was going to try it with a gong.

After the worship, Wang Zezhi returned to the town guard.

When the sorcerers had finished their work, they dispersed and returned to their dwelling on the steppe.

Outside the gate, there was only one altar standing alone, and the white sails on the altar were like the souls of the guards, swaying in the wind in the snow on the grassland.

Zhen Guard, inside the guard.

"When the snow stops, I will take with me two hundred light horsemen, assigned to your infantry and shield soldiers, and escorted by steel-armored heavy horsemen later."

Wang Zezhi summoned Ma Fu to make arrangements.

"Yes." Ma Fu didn't have any extra nonsense, and went directly to the order to make arrangements.

Then comes waiting.

The snow was not heavy, and it rained for three days.

On the third day, the snow stopped, and Wang Zezhi took two hundred light horsemen and two gongs to Guihua City.

I don't know if it was because the snow stopped, or if the sound of the gong played a role.

The road was quite peaceful.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the fourteenth day of the lunar month.

Wang Zezhi summoned Tuomu and Zag and asked if there was any way to kill the wolf quickly on the grassland.

Both of them are very active in killing wolves.

This is because the cows, sheep and children in the tribe have recently been attacked by wild wolves.

Originally, they were hunting wild wolves.

Moreover, there has always been a legend among herders that after hunting wolves, eating their livers can give them special powers.

Therefore, the herders in the tribe were actively hunting wild wolves.

Originally, Wang Zezhi thought that the wolf was the totem they worshipped, but it turned out not to be what he thought.

Their faith was first shamanic, and now it is the Yellow Religion.

For nomads, wolves are natural enemies, not partners, and even less likely to be mascots.

Wolves are greedy, selfish, ruthless, cruel, and hunt people and animals.

The herders grit their teeth at the mention of wild wolves and are eager to kill them immediately.

The herders believe in the eternal heaven and the eternal earth, they respect nature, worship their ancestors, and usually worship the heaven and earth, nature and the "Ao Bao", which symbolizes their ancestors, and no one has ever worshiped the wolf.

Moreover, for nomadic people, wolves are their survival opponents, because they often steal horses, cattle and sheep, they are natural enemies, until today, when wolves come to plague the flock, they treat wolves with an attitude - killing.

After receiving affirmative answers from the two, Wang Zezhi was ready to issue a reward order.

For every wolf hunted, a reward of ten taels of silver was given.

Wang Zezhi was going to take out 100,000 taels of silver specifically for this reward.

He didn't believe that there would be tens of thousands of wolves on the grassland.

Even if there were tens of thousands of wolves, after a large-scale hunting, he did not believe that the wild wolves of the grassland could become a scourge.

Just when Wang Zezhi wrote the reward and was about to post it.

The heralds on the side of the Tiger's Mouth were protected by the steel armor heavy cavalry and came to the Naturalization City.

"Report, military emergency."

Wang Zezhi unleashed the information on killing the tiger's mouth, and his face gradually became gloomy.
