Chapter 100: The King of Sorrows

Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi were both wrong about one thing, when the grassland fire, the most terrifying thing was not the flames, but the smoke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is nothing wrong with the northwest wind, it refers to the wind at high altitude, and only God knows what kind of wind it is close to the ground.

Thick smoke soon covered the grassland, and even Tie Xinyuan had to wrap their mouths and noses with a damp cloth.

As a result, countless fires have appeared on the grassland, like a great army conquering, breaking through the withered yellow grass and leaving patches of black ashes.

The herds of wild horses are still running around the grasslands, but there is less and less room for them to flicker.

Tie Xinyuan's worst fears happened, the grassland fire ignited the trees at the foot of the mountain, and the low shrubs were ignited by the fire, and then these low shrubs set fire to the trees on the mountainside.

In winter, the trees are scarce in water, and after being roasted by the fire, they quickly turn into huge torches.

Tie Xinyuan was very glad that he had ordered the camp to be moved to this small ravine with few trees for defense yesterday, and if he was still in the camp he was in yesterday, he was in danger of being turned into a roast pig at this time.

Even the most seasoned shepherd slaves had a look of horror in their eyes, and they were very incomprehensible to the fact that they could catch this result by catching a horse.

Fortunately, there is a small spring in this small valley, and under the high temperature, all the ice skates on the edge of the spring have melted, and the clear spring water is full of black ash.

The direction of the stables is fine, it is all bare dirt hills, plus the terrain is high, and it is at the bottom of the winding valley, which is not very affected.

The mouth of the valley was very lively, groups of wild horses were driven into the valley by the wildfire, and the iron heart source left at the edge of the valley was too hot to wear the fur, and opened its mouth to breathe like a fish thrown onto the riverbank.

Meng Yuanzhi rushed in from outside the valley in embarrassment, and when he saw that Tie Xinyuan was unharmed, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, pointed to the inside of the valley, and signaled everyone to retreat, the situation outside was very bad.

Running all the way to the spring, Meng Yuanzhi fell to the ground and patted his chest and said, "I almost died outside!" ”

"What about the others?" Tie Xinyuan hurriedly asked.

"It's all right, Hamill and they're guarding, those fifty people shouldn't run, and when everyone is burned, they can be seen."

Meng Yuanzhi's condition was very bad, his hair had been burned out a lot, and now it had become a mess, even his shoes had seven or eight big holes, revealing the burned feet inside.

"You came here on fire?"

"If you don't step on it, you can't do it, after throwing the gunpowder bullet, I found that I was surrounded by mountain fires, damn it, the direction of the wind can't be said, I can't predict it for a while, and I can't predict it if I don't burn Lao Tzu."

Tie Xinyuan glanced at the herdsman who was still working and said straight to Meng Yuan: "We only need three thousand wild horses, and don't catch the superfluous." ”

Meng Yuanzhi sat up and said, "Why? Afraid of God's damnation? Ignition is Lao Tzu's idea, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Even if God wants to punish him, find me, it's not a big deal, I have calculated, and I have asked Hu Laosan about them, five hundred people shepherd three thousand wild horses is already the limit, wild horses are not easy to serve, there is also a taming problem in the middle, or these wild horses cannot be tamed at all, they need to focus on these foals."

The stallion is for breeding, and the mare is for the foal, and then the donkey is for the mule.

There are a lot of things to be done in between, and with these 3,000 wild horses, the Great Song Dynasty needs to find at least 5,000 mares and thousands of male and female donkeys, and after five years, this number needs to be doubled.

Do you think that those officials of the Great Song Dynasty have such courage to do this? In fact, they prefer to buy trained war horses directly from the Khitan or Western Xia, or the Qingtang people, although it is expensive, but it is trouble-free. ”

Meng Yuan spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and scolded: "These people's good things will also turn into bad things, but it's a pity that we still work so hard to help them." ”

Tie Xinyuan suddenly smiled and said straight to Meng Yuan: "Do you know why I suddenly changed my mind and didn't lie to Da Song?" ”

"For the princess?"

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Actually, it's for all of us who ran away from the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with us running away?" ”

Tie Xinyuan pointed to his heart and said with a smile: "Old Meng, if you can't appear as a benefactor in front of the Song people, we went to Tokyo, don't talk about others, even if you Lao Meng see the iron lion, they will be a head shorter."

I can see this sign from the fact that you didn't want to kill the officials of the Liao State, no matter what, after leaving the mother country, you are ashamed. ”

Meng Yuan lay on the spring water, brushed off the black ash on it with his hands, drank a stomach of cold spring water like an animal, patted his belly with satisfaction and said: "Lao Tzu will only stride forward when he sees the iron lion now, no matter what they say, I will treat them as if they were farting."

What Lao Tzu did was something that their finches could imagine. ”

As soon as Tie Xinyuan was about to speak, he saw a horse running on the cliff wall, faster than lightning.

He saw only a shadow of maroon.

Immediately after that, a snow-blue shadow also galloped past the mountain wall, and the way the two horses ran violated the principle of gravity of the earth, and the only force that could make the earth's gravity ineffective was a strong inertia.

Meng Yuanzhi's mouth opened wider, he discovered this miracle earlier than Tie Xinyuan, he saw with his own eyes that the two horses were originally galloping in the valley, but as they ran, they went up the cliff.

The jujube red horse kept running wild in the valley, not daring to stop for a moment, and the snow green horse chased the jujube red horse in the valley, and there was no sign of giving up.

Just now, when the two horses were passing by the cliff beside Tie Xinyuan, if they turned in another direction, it didn't seem to be very difficult for the bowl-sized horses' hooves to crush Tie Xinyuan's head.

Meng Yuanzhi, who also felt the danger, dragged Tie Xinyuan to run wildly in the direction of the camp without saying a word, and the little faces of Ga Ga and Yu Chiwen were also pale, and they really hadn't seen horses that could run on the cliff.

Even Meng Yuanzhi's sweaty horse couldn't do it.

At the beginning, everyone was hoping to catch the jujube red horse, or the snow green horse, but now, no one thinks so.

At this speed, you can almost catch up with the bow and arrow......

It was not only Tie Xinyuan who saw this scene, but also those herdsmen, and their reaction was the same as Tie Xinyuan, choosing to return to the camp as soon as possible, in case they were stepped on by two fighting dragon horses, it is estimated that the probability of survival is not very high.

Seeing Xue Qingma's huge hooves kicking the jujube red horse's face, Tie Xinyuan's face was like a bun.

When the jujube red horse's big mouth bit on the mane of the snow green horse and ripped off a large handful of manes, Tie Xinyuan's face seemed to be twitched even more.

That's right, what Tie Xinyuan saw now was not two horses, but two giants standing and trampling each other with their hooves.

The wild horses were completely chaotic, and the wild horses left the place where the two dragon horses were fighting, and watched them fight dumbly.

Quack found a lasso, stretched out from the fence, and put it around the neck of a black horse, only to see that the black horse did not know how to resist, but slowly walked towards the door in the direction of the lasso.

A crack opened in the door of the camp, and the horse entered the camp, and laughed proudly, he had long taken a fancy to this black horse.

The rest of the herdsmen woke up from a dream, and they also quietly poked out the bars, and each of them was accurately put on the necks of the wild horses they had chosen in advance, and without exception, every wild horse was very well-behaved.

The battle between the two dragon horses was in full swing, and the mane on the neck of the snow green horse was much missing, and the blood was even soaked through the neck, ticking down.

As for the jujube red horse, it is even more miserable, one ear has been missing half of it, and the lost half of the ear has been swallowed by the snow green horse.

An eye full of spirituality, now bloody, an eyeball drooped outside the eye socket, and with its violent shaking of its head, the eyeball fell to the ground, trampled by its hooves.

"Sizzle......"

Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuan gasped in unison......

"I only know that Xiahoudun has done this, have you ever seen someone else do this?" Tie Xinyuan couldn't bear to look at this cruel battle, and turned around and asked Meng Yuanzhi.

Meng Yuanzhi shook his head and said: "There are many people who are fighting, and there are few people who are still fighting when their eyeballs are knocked out. ”

"What do you think of the victory?"

"The jujube red horse is going to be defeated, it is relatively young, the snow green horse is older, the old one knows how to minimize the damage, and the small one only knows how to fight randomly, which is often said to be the courage of the blood, the blood is gone, it is its death period!"

Tie Xinyuan couldn't remember how many hooves were on the head of the jujube red horse, only to see that guy was knocked down again and again, and then got up again and again to be hit by hooves, and it was still a person who stood up and was hit by hooves.

The big hooves of the snow green horse once again popped out like lightning and kicked in the middle of the jujube red horse's head, and I heard the jujube red horse scream, and fell to the ground again.

And this time, it didn't get up, the huge horse's head drooped on the sand, and a large stream of blood flowed out of its mouth, and it soon **** the sand.

"Get ready to fight!" Tie Xinyuan said straight to the heartbroken Meng Yuan.

"It's a pity that it's a good horse!"

Meng Yuan looked at the jujube red horse that was still panting with pity, took his short spear from Gaga's hand, clicked and connected the back half, and stood behind the fence of the camp with a spear, looking at the snow-blue horse king.

The king of horses pulled the red horse with his hooves, and when he saw that it was not moving, he stood up again and roared in the sky, and his two hooves kept kicking in the air.

The rest of the wild horses roared, and even the wild horses in the fence followed suit.

The roar of the King of Horses was full of rage!

"Are you really going to kill them?"

Yu Chiwen asked Tie Xinyuan with a short crossbow.

Tie Xinyuan sighed and said, "If the King of Horses comes to the door, it won't work if you don't kill it." ”

Wei Chiwen's eyes lit up, and he took out a gunpowder bullet from the hem of his clothes, lit it and threw it in front of the camp.

There was a "boom" sound, this time the distance was closer, the king of horses couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the rest of the wild horses hid behind the king of horses, and did not collapse immediately, it was all because of the king of horses' obscenity!

The loud noise of the gunpowder bullet was too great a deterrent to the wild horses, and the king of horses screamed sadly, turned his head and rushed towards the mouth of the valley.

"Oh my God, they're going to rush into the fire!" (To be continued.) )
