Chapter 246: Wolf Hunting

Autumn is the best time of the year to hunt, when the animals are at their fattest and beautiful, attracting hunters who love this way.

Although Talas City is located in a remote area and does not produce much, it cannot stop Prince Erwei's hunting enthusiasm.

A few days ago, an order came from the Broken Leaf Big Tooth to strictly guard against the rogues, interrupting the hunting ceremony that Prince Erwei had just begun. Fortunately, another order came to lift martial law. As soon as the herald had delivered the order, Prince Erwei could not wait to gather his men and horses, and hurried out of the city in search of the prey that tickled his heart and hands.

Much of the area around Talas is a wasteland and desert, because of its low terrain and abundant groundwater, making it an oasis in the desert, providing a habitat for life to thrive.

On the wasteland, the shrubs were overgrown with weeds, and thousands of horses' hooves vibrate, startling out many rabbits, foxes, roe deer and other small wild animals, consuming the horsepower and arrows of Prince Erwei's hunting team.

"Your Highness, hurry, hurry, there is a plum 'flower' deer!" A sharp-eyed soldier spotted a rare large game in the distance and was pleasantly surprised to pay homage to his master.

"Quick, don't let it run, drive it away!" Er Wei is very happy, the horse has been running for a long time, the catch is only some small animals, like the plum 'flower' deer this kind of prey is still the first time to find, the deer 'meat', blood, skin, horns are all good things, especially the 'fine' deer skin, in the hands of the craftsman to make a variety of ornaments and then give to the favorite beauty, invincible.

More than a dozen soldiers shouted to drive their horses, and split up to outflank the target in the distance.

The plum 'flower' deer is weak, but not stupid, the vibration of the horse's hooves on the ground startled its 'flower' figure, and realizing that its life is in danger, it runs extremely hard, trying to find a way to escape to a dense grass.

"Quick, release the arrow, intercept it!" Seeing that the plum 'flower' deer was about to escape, the leader of the small leader called out to the archer, and 'shot' the feathered arrows in his hand to the route of its wild gallop, and 'forced' it to turn.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The bowstring sounded, and the little leader was surprised, are there so many people? Could it be the legendary Arrow of Beads? The signs of surprise flashed and quickly died out. A feathered arrow pierced the little leader's neck with such force that it carried him off his horse, making him unable to think again.

"Enemy attack!"

In the blink of an eye, only one lone knight was left among the dozen or so Turgish soldiers who were hunting, and he looked with horror at the hundreds of knights emerging from the grass, many of which were still aimed at him.

"Don't move, let the general 'show' his hand for us!" It was Li Feiying's voice.

The surviving hunter turned his horse and fled back.

Li Huaitang relied on the terrifying speed of the Pegasus to strike backwards, and never let the enemy horse get out of the effective 'shooting' range of the horn bow.

"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow, with his confidence, flew into the air, forming a black dot, and then rapidly sank at the top, and the fleeing knight fell from his horse.

"The Admiral is mighty!"

The knight of the Eagle Rider rode his horse, and then roared wildly, with a strong sense of provocation, and reached the ears of Prince Erwei. Under the leadership of Li Huaitang, the knights of the Eagle Cavalry took advantage of it and behaved obediently, arrogantly flashing in front of the brigade's turquoise cavalry.

"Where did the barbarians come from? Surround me and slaughter them! "The young and frivolous prince is strong-blooded, where can he be so insulted. Relying on the strength of the crowd and the presence of his own land, Prince Erwei drew his sword in a rage, and hysterically ordered his cavalry to besiege the sudden enemy.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive, wait until the investigation is clear before pursuing!" The commander of the Thousand Commanders made a cautious suggestion, after all, some time ago, the news came from the Broken Leaf Big Tooth that the Liukou was very powerful, and Sulu Khan was defeated several times. He was worried that this group of cavalrymen who had come out of nowhere was probably the legendary rogue.

"What are you afraid of! There are only a few hundred of them, and two thousand of us, and you are afraid that they will not succeed? "Prince Erwei's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he was angry, and his anger was out of his patience.

Compared with the calm persuasion of the evil spirit, the thorn 'excitation' from the Liukou obviously had an advantage in the heart of Prince Erwei. Nearly two thousand knights did not hesitate to attack, as if they were treating their prey that had just been rounded up by them.

The speed advantage of the sweaty horse was once again 'revealed', no matter how angry Prince Erwei's two thousand riders were, no matter how hard they tried to catch up, sometimes they almost entered the range of riding 'shooting', and in the blink of an eye, they pulled out a distance. On the contrary, it was the rogue who turned around and rode to 'shoot' and constantly 'shot' the pursuers off their horses.

"The third!" Li Huaitang whistled lightly, and the fourth feathered arrow was neatly transferred from the quiver to the bowstring, his keen eyes searching for those behind him. In the light cavalry army of the Ministry of Light, except for Hu Yijian, no one can stand out.

"Your Highness, you can't chase it anymore. We've lost almost two hundred! Evil once again worriedly reminded Prince Erwei.

Before they knew it, two hundred knights were killed by the shameless rain of arrows from the fleeing enemy, but the enemy was not harmed in the slightest. Prince Erwei was shocked and angry, and unwillingly reined in the horses, and continued or gave up, hesitating.

"Your Highness, beware, they are likely to be those rogues who have escaped." Hu Evil took the opportunity to express the suspicion in his heart. Regarding the order to prevent the Liukou, a total of three orders were sent from the direction of the Broken Leaf Daya, and the order was changed day by day, and the last order received was more than ten days ago, it is said that the Liukou escaped into the Ili River valley and knocked to the death with Moheda. If the message is correct, then the threat to the Talas side will be greatly reduced or even negligible.

With the passage of time, once Mohedagan is prepared, the Liukou who fled into the Ili River valley will definitely lose their advantage, they only have less than 3,000 people, and they will definitely not be able to escape Mohedagan's fierce pursuit, even if luck favors them again, they will have to endure the test of two major enemies if they want to come to Talas. One is the Qarluqs, and the last is the harsh natural environment, detouring to the sea to Talas, at least thousands of miles, and seeing mostly barrenness and drought along the way. The 'fat' people drag the thin, the strong horses drag the wins, even if the last soldiers come to the city, they are still tired and there is no threat.

This idea is dominant in the upper echelons of Talas, and Erwei thinks so, even the cautious Evil Call.

In fact, Li Huaitang's luck was indeed good, and both Mohe Dagan and the Qarluq people suffered his big losses. In the face of the last enemy, if Li Huaitang had not brought a large number of pack horses and camels and brought all the grain looted on the road, he really would not have been able to withstand the test of nature. The consumption of war horses is several times that of soldiers, people can eat 'meat', war horses can't, most of the wheat and pasture grass are quickly consumed by tens of thousands of war horses. This is also the reason why Li Huaitang wants to lay down Talas.

"Your Highness, they have turned back!" One of the guards pointed to the hundreds of rogues in the distance and told Prince Erwei, who was retreating.

"What?"

Erwei pulled back the horses that had turned, and the scene ahead, just as the guards told him, hundreds of enemy horsemen turned a corner, urging the hooves of the horses to turn back, not paying attention to the thousands of Turgish knights at all.

Er Wei gritted his teeth and raised his knife fiercely: "Up, kill them!" ”

"Your Highness!" It is still the evil spirits that are discouraged.

"Shut up! Will they let them come after us? ”

Suffocating the evil spirit, His Royal Highness the Prince's words are not unreasonable, the speed of the other party can easily catch up with him, as long as he keeps following behind, he can calmly kill all his warriors. After all, it is difficult for the fleeing side to gather effective counterattack forces, and it is technically quite difficult to attack the pursuers behind them.
