Chapter 61 Heavy casualties

The plan has not changed quickly, and it is very appropriate to describe Mo Ren's current mood.

Although the strategy of striking east and west seems to be very suitable, Mo Ren overlooked one thing, animals and people seem to be different.

Anger is a sentiment that can only be found in human groups.

In a herd, anger can only exist in an individual, or in an individual group, and never infect the entire group.

In addition to the fact that the animals do not have much direct emotional communication, more importantly, there are not too many interests involved, so when the individual is attacked or attacked, the other animals will not react other than to be frightened.

This is the genetic memory accumulated in the evolution of animals.

Because in the food chain, only humans are greedy and endless for hunting their prey.

So when the deer herd was attacked, the other deer, in addition to being frightened, chose to ignore it and continue to do their own thing.

Seeing that Tu Tan's arrow wounded all the does but did not lead away the other does, Mo Ren said that he was very hurt.

"Experience is all accumulated through failure." Wang Xu smiled and comforted.

Mo Ren shrugged his shoulders, looking loveless, and carried a spear to help Tu Tan hunt the she-moose.

Even if it is a female moose without horns, it is still not a person who can deal with it, the thick skin of the moose and the irascible personality, unless you cut off its head directly, even if it is full of holes, it will chase you to the ends of the earth.

"What a fierce and stubborn animal." Wang Li sighed as he looked at the she-moose, who was pierced by a dozen spears in the distance, still stubbornly struggling to stand up.

"It's also an apathetic and arrogant animal." Wang Xu was observing the condition of the deer, and the screams of the shemoose before dying did attract the attention of the deer, but it did not cause a big commotion, and the character of the moose herd was also very stable, and it was indeed the best choice to be a cavalryman.

"How?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because I was overconfident in my own strength, I didn't run away when I ran away, and because I was indifferent, I didn't react when my companion died." Wang Xu smiled and said, "But when a few die, they will start to panic." ”

Wang Li frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After Tu Tan and they booby-trapped more than 20 female moose, as Wang Xu expected, the entire moose herd began to panic, not a single deer was lying on the grass and was comfortable, all of them stood up and walked around anxiously, and all the baby moose were protected in the middle.

When Tu Tan stepped into the cordon again, one of the largest female moose raised her head and moaned angrily, and took the initiative to rush towards Tu Tan.

Facing the female moose who took the initiative to attack, Tu Tan was obviously startled, his hand shook, and the arrow was somewhat biased and injured the female moose's shoulder.

The doe mooed again and sped up, while all the does behind her followed suit and rushed towards the crowd.

Wang Xu has never seen the scene of 10,000 horses galloping, but he has seen the scene of 50 horses galloping together, but compared with the scene of more than 40 moose running, it is really like the difference between bicycles and cars.

Some of Mo Ren and the others, who were in charge of the reception, did not have time to get on their horses, so they scattered and fled close to the mountains and forests, so as not to be trampled to death by the deer.

Wang Li stood up nervously, grabbed the iron spear, turned over on the horse, and said in a deep voice to Wang Xu, "You can hide first." ”

Wang Xu nodded, retreated behind the trap, and watched Wang Li blow the bone whistle to gather the fleeing warriors, and after urging the war horse to catch up with the doe, the iron spear pierced the deer's ass like a poisonous tongue.

The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched, and his opinion of Wang Li changed greatly.

Indeed, on the battlefield, Wang Li is a qualified commander.

At the same time, it also proved the importance of a qualified commander on the battlefield, Mo Ren and others, who were chased by the deer herd because of panic, regained their composure under the leadership of Wang Li, and escaped the trampling and collision of the moose by relying on the advantage of being able to climb on the trees.

Tu Tan and the others' long-range attacks were no longer very lethal to the moose herd, and they could only rely on melee combat and the power of weapons to slowly grind down this group of crazy female moose.

Fortunately, the moose did not have a high IQ, and when they would rather hit a tree and break their heads than change their targets, Tu Tan and the others killed them one by one.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour before it ended, ending with the mournful cry of the last she-moose.

Guzhu Guo and Wang Jiajun added up to one hundred and thirty-four people, and more than a dozen were trampled by moose and broke their legs, and three were knocked unconscious, which can be described as heavy casualties.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Everyone was embarrassed, and their bodies were covered with mud mixed with deer blood, and they came to ask the king for their guilt.

Wang Xu stood on the high rock, looked down at this group of 'remnants of the defeated generals' and chuckled, "Get up, as the first battle, no casualties are already considered a success." ”

Mo Ren and the others were so ashamed and angry that they knelt on the ground and couldn't raise their heads.

"It's an unnecessary battle." Wang Xu continued, "If it weren't for Tu Tan's brave choice to besiege and give up luring the moose into the trap, you wouldn't have spent too much physical strength before, so that you were almost powerless to fight back later, arrogance and arrogance were your first mistake. ”

Everyone listened to Wang Xu's reprimand in silence, although Wang Xu's voice was very peaceful, but it seemed like thunder in their ears.

Tu Tan knelt on the ground silently, speechless.

"The second is to take it lightly, the observation of the battlefield failed, the deer herd has already stood up and begun to be vigilant, you still haven't found the abnormality of the deer herd, and you haven't adjusted your strategy in time, if you have fewer people, you may have been trampled into meat by the deer herd." Wang Xu sighed lightly and shook his head, "The third is what is the real purpose of this war, you seem to have forgotten that killing and blood have lost your sanity. ”

Tu Tan was the first to raise his head, his face full of astonishment.

"For the rest, go back and reflect on yourself, if you figure it out, go to Sima to report your gains and losses in this battle, now, you have to go and catch those little guys back, otherwise this battle will be wasted." Wang Xu waved his hand and smiled.

After Wang Xu finished speaking, everyone who was kneeling on the ground jumped up, grabbed the noose prepared in advance, and chased after the little moose who had already begun to flee.

That's right, catching moose is the main purpose of this war!

After checking the injuries of the injured people, there was no big problem, and a member of the clan was sent to inform the people on the other side of the copper mountain, so that they could come over.

By the time Mo Lian came with a large army, Mo Ren and the others had not yet captured all the moose.

"Is the Emperor alright?" Seeing the tragic situation here, Mo Lian quickly ran over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, they're not good." Wang Xu pointed to a few soldiers in his hands and smiled.

"Damn the inadequate." The dark wolf said in a cold voice.

"It's not that the guards are ineffective, but the combat is ineffective." Wang Xu smiled, "Wait a minute, let Tu Tan tell you, Mo Lian, take someone to clean up the moose carcass over there, the smell of blood is too big, and if you put it down, it may attract wolves." ”

At this time, everyone found that the battlefield in the distance seemed to be a bloody quagmire, and it was the first time to see such a huge animal, which made everyone startled.

Especially the people of the Yu clan, their faces were pale with fright, but they were excited in a blink of an eye, and their eyes lit up.

So much meat!

"Did you send someone back to deliver the letter?" Wang Xu walked to the edge of the lake and washed his hands with the cool water of the lake.

"I've already sent Mo Ding back, and it is estimated that tomorrow Tu Shan Lady will bring someone over to build the city." The ink wolf said respectfully, "The Great Emperor really wants to build a city here? Although the surrounding environment is good, there are fierce beasts and insects and snakes, and it may take some time to clean up. ”

"That's not a problem, it's rich in water and grass, and it's fertile for farming and grazing." Wang Xu smiled, "When Tu Tan subdues the small tribes in this area, it's only a matter of time before they are cleaned up." ”

The ink wolf blinked and looked at the Yu clan people in the distance, "Are there such big tribes around?" ”

"Yuchun's tribe should be the largest in the vicinity, but there are many scattered tribes here, so there should be no fewer people, and it is just enough to separate the crowd, the women and children are brought back to the court, and the other men stay here, before the winter, as long as the women and children are completely integrated into our clan, there will be no problem."

The ink wolf narrowed his eyes: "I saw Mr. Zhu Jia leading people to the south before. ”

"He has his own things to do." Wang Xu didn't say much.

The ink wolf nodded, went to reprimand Mo Ren, who had recovered the last moose, and pointed to his head and scolded him.

"There were one hundred and twelve in total, and more than twenty ran away, and I didn't let them chase them when it was dark." Wang Li jumped off his horse and squatted by the lake to wash his face.

"Thank you." Wang Xu said with a smile.

Wang Li glanced at Wang Xu, "The young deer has extremely strong endurance, and its speed is not weaker than that of ordinary war horses, but it has a hot personality and is not easy to tame." ”

"There will be a way." Wang Xu glanced at the little moose who were tethered to the stump next to him, and whispered, "Starve them for a few days." ”

"Spend the night here?" Wang Li took off his blood-stained robe and asked the female guards to help him wash it.

"I can't go, so much food has to be disposed of." Wang Xu pointed to the moose piled up in the distance and smiled.

"Lucky for these bunches, the first meal was so rich in meat." Wang Li looked at the group of elated women and children of the Yu clan and chuckled.

"Fools are blessed with fools." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Maybe what you said is true, when fools become smarter, their luck is not good." Wang Li looked not far away, and Mo Kui, who was violently beaten by the ink wolf, chuckled.

"The ink wolf's way of teaching people is really bad." Wang Xu frowned slightly and shook his head.

"The military affairs still have to be handed over to the fist." Wang Li smiled.

"Hopefully, after today, they will be able to grow." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"You did it on purpose?" Wang Li squinted at Wang Xu.

"What?" Wang Xu was stunned.

"Deliberately didn't remind Tu Tan and Mo Ren." Wang Li said.

"I'll teach you another good job." Wang Xu chuckled and said, "Any kind reminder can never compare to the profundity and effectiveness of personal experience. ”

Wang Li frowned: "What do you want to prompt before the moose herd?" ”

"Forget it, let's understand it yourself." Wang Xu chuckled.
