Black Dragon Island has a good start, but it is destined not to be peaceful. Since the construction of the outpost takes time, the safety responsibility in the early stage is put on the cavalry. Early in the morning, Guo Sheng led fifty cavalry to patrol the Dog Bear Ridge north of the Tunu River. Suddenly, Guo Sheng's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his halberd, he ordered the team to stop. Turning over and dismounting, it turned out that Guo Sheng found that there were many horseshoe prints on the ground, and Jeju Tuanlian played the best horseshoe, and these horseshoes obviously did not have horseshoe. It looks like it's still fresh, and it looks like it's just gone.

Guo Sheng said: "There are almost no horses in our tribe, where are there so many horseshoe prints, prepare for battle, follow me to see." ”

Because the snow is beginning to melt now, the ground is a little muddy, so the horseshoe prints on the black soil are very clear, Guo Sheng led the cavalry to follow the past, about ten miles, the horseshoe prints entered the Dog Bear Ridge.

Dog Bear Ridge is a long mountain range, the mountain is not precipitous, but the woods are dense, all kinds of trees are overgrown everywhere, and because there are many bears on the ridge, it is named Dog Bear Ridge, and the stonemason of the army also found stones on the ridge and carved the place name.

The cavalry rushed into the woods and was easily ambushed, and Guo Sheng did not dare to take risks, after all, the enemy was in the dark, and with a wave of his hand, he sent two cavalrymen to dismount and hide in the grass and enter the mountains to reconnoitre, and after a while, the two cavalrymen came back, obviously a little frightened, and said: "It is a group of strange cavalrymen, with wolf head masks, which is very scary." ”

Guo Sheng shouted: "Talking nonsense, what kind of tiger and wolf he is, when he meets us, he is just a chicken and a dog." ”

"Yes." The two soldiers said.

"How many of them are there?"

"About thirty rides."

As he was talking, the wolf-headed cavalry in Dog Bear Ridge had already come out, brandishing maces and making strange screams from their mouths.

"Meet the enemy." With Guo Sheng's shout, fifty cavalrymen brushed up the crossbow of the divine arm, the wolf-headed cavalry had superb riding skills, and when they saw the bow and arrows coming, they hid under the belly of the horse, and waited until this group of cavalry rushed to almost a hundred meters before Guo Sheng ordered to release the arrows.

The power of the divine arm crossbow at close range was unusually large, and with a bang, fifty crossbow arrows flew out, poof, and a dozen horses immediately fell, crushing the cavalry hiding under the horse's belly. The wolf-headed cavalry was dumbfounded, he had never thought that there was such a powerful bow and arrow, which could shoot a war horse to death at once.

Before they could react, everyone had already changed their bows and arrows to shoot at the incoming horse, and the wolf-headed cavalry was really powerful, and it was very effective for dodging ordinary bows and arrows, and the lethality of bows and arrows was limited even if they hit the war horse.

Guo Sheng snorted coldly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, kill with me." ”

Immediately took the lead, waved the halberd in his hand, and went straight to the enemy formation. Bang, Guo Sheng was the first to collide with the mace of the wolf-headed cavalry, Fang Tian's halberd missed the mace, and a halberd stabbed this person in the throat, Guo Sheng didn't look at him, and continued to move forward.

The ordinary cavalry in the back used a cavalry knife, although the knife was very sharp, but it was lightweight, and it suffered a little from the mace, but the wolf-headed cavalry was small in number after all, and there was no one on the wolf-headed cavalry's horse after a charge. Guo Sheng checked his own casualties, five were seriously injured, and none were killed, but unfortunately the bones of these five cavalrymen were broken, and I am afraid that they can only retire after being cured.

Most of the wolf-headed cavalry were killed by bows and arrows, don't look at the bells and whistles they wear, but they are not equipped with iron armor at all, and a layer of cowhide armor is just a layer of paper under the bow and arrows. There were five living ones under the horses, which were carefully tied by the soldiers with cowhide ropes.

"Vice-captain, look." One of the horsemen pointed to a horse that was moving forward and said, "There's a man hidden under the belly of that horse." ”

Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw a person hiding under the horse's belly, this person quietly advanced under the horse's belly, but he was still discovered, and immediately stopped hiding and ran on horseback.

Guo Sheng was furious, ran away after the fight, where is there such a good thing in the world, and left half of the soldiers to take care of the wounded, tied up the prisoners, and chased after them with twenty cavalry.

Anyway, there is a job to catch, and they don't care about one more of him, Guo Sheng and others followed the back of the butt and kept releasing arrows, but this person was clinging to the horse's back, and the feather arrows kept falling short. This guy was also a ruthless man, and when he saw that he couldn't escape easily, he drew a short knife and hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain, and Herod screamed violently, and ran so fast that he ran away in the blink of an eye.

He can tie the horse's buttocks, Guo Sheng and others can't, but they can rest assured, this method stimulates the horses to run a certain distance, and it won't take long for them to slow down.

Guo Sheng and the others followed from a distance, although they couldn't catch up, they didn't let him escape from the field of vision. There was a pine forest in front, very dense, and the deserters did not dare to enter it, so they bypassed.

When Guo Sheng led people around the woods, they found that the grass in front of them was densely packed with yak cows with huge sharp horns bowing their heads to graze, and the number was probably thousands. The wolf-headed man ran away early and disappeared without a trace.

The soldier said, "There aren't many cattle like this, so it can't be a bison." ”

Guo Sheng always felt very strange and said: "Retreat, this place should not stay for a long time." ”

At this moment, dozens of wolf-headed horsemen emerged from behind the herd, and these people were holding a strange musical instrument and blowing an unpleasant harsh sound. The cattle that were originally grazing leisurely became irritable when they heard the sound, stared at Guo Sheng and the others with red eyes, and then their hooves stepped on the ground, and their nostrils rushed up.

If it's ten cows and eight cows, it's really nothing, Guo Sheng's crotch is not the same as killing him with a halberd in the horse's shoe, but this is thousands of cows in front of him.

Guo Sheng decisively ordered to retreat.

This guy is really embarrassed, Guo Sheng ran in front with more than 20 cavalry, and thousands of yak cattle chased behind. Everyone occasionally turned around and put a few arrows, and the herd was so dense that many of them were shot, but it was not a problem, the yak was too strong, and an arrow was only injured, and it did not affect the chase.

The huge hooves of the yak trampled on the earth, and the deafening sound was heard far away. Guo Sheng said to the two soldiers beside him: "You ride back and report quickly, so that Battalion Commander Liu can prepare early, this group of cavalry is not much, but there are yaks to help." ”

"Yes." Saying that, the two men fled separately from the brigade. When the yak herd saw that they had escaped, the two did not chase separately, and followed Guo Sheng and others all the way. The horses were a little weak after the pursuit just now, and Guo Sheng had no choice but to lead the team back to Dog Bear Ridge again.

Seeing this, the soldiers who remained there also retreated to the ridge with the wounded. The woods of Dog Bear Ridge are dense, and the slope is not small, and the yak finally stopped the pursuit when he chased him out of the woods, and he was panting one by one.

Guo Sheng scolded: "This group of yaks, seeing that Lao Tzu doesn't eat your meat, Lao Tzu is sweating. ”

The soldiers were also very embarrassed, although there were no losses, but the horses were a little weak after such a long run, and they could only wait for the horsepower to recover if they wanted to break out.

Guo Sheng said: "Bring a prisoner up and ask them what the situation is and where they are." ”

Soon the soldier brought up a prisoner, but there was a burst of bird muttering, which was completely incorrect, and no one could understand anyone's words.

Now Guo Sheng was embarrassed, he couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he could only wait quietly. Rest, eat, let the horses eat grass and drink.

Although the cattle were grazing outside, there were quite a few wolf-headed cavalrymen, about fifty horsemen, one of whom looked like a leader, who seemed to be very dissatisfied with the siege and was anxious to avenge his companions, and immediately ordered the cavalry to rush forward and enter the woods.

The big guys in the woods are ready for a long time, and although they can't ride horses, they can still use the crossbow, and it's more convenient than riding horses, so everyone hides behind the trees and shoots arrows. The first two arrows flew out, and with a pop, they pierced the chests of the two wolf-headed horsemen, and died tragically under their horses.

Followed by more than a dozen arrows flew out, and the arrows shot in the wolf-headed cavalry group, killing five or six people, and the wolf-headed cavalry was honest at the moment, so they knew that the god's arm crossbow was powerful, and they didn't dare to get close to the woods, and retreated far behind the yak herd.

Although the Dog Bear Ridge is not as good as the primeval forest, but it is not good to rush through the past without people who are familiar with the environment, Guo Sheng ordered the soldiers not to enter rashly, quietly waiting for support, considering the protracted war, Guo Sheng divided the soldiers into two groups, one group to sleep, one group on duty. As for the captives, who did not have the strength to guard them, they were all hung four or five people high, and sharpened branches were placed underneath, and if they dared to move and fall, they would be stabbed to death.

It was getting dark, and the wolf-headed cavalry outside lit a bonfire, and it seemed that they had no intention of entering the mountain. At this time, it is completely possible to break out, but there is no need, and when the reinforcements come, it is just right to take down this group of people.

Therefore, Guo Sheng also ordered the big guy to go inside, and found a suitable place to light a bonfire to warm up and eat. The wolf-headed man also wanted to sneak attack, but he was honest after a few hidden traps were eliminated.

Although the spring on Heilong Island is warm during the day, it is very cold in winter, so a soldier picked up a cowhide wine bag and drank some wine and handed it to Guo Sheng. "Come, Team Guo, drink some wine to warm up."

Guo Sheng took a sip of wine and pointed not far away, two black shadows slowly came over, and stopped more than a hundred meters away from the fire, it turned out to be two big bears, one big and one small, these two guys are not afraid of people, full of curiosity.

Someone wanted to get a bow and arrow, Guo Sheng said: "This is Dog Bear Ridge, this is someone's home, as long as we don't come to hurt us, why kill more, we are warriors, not butchers." ”

The soldier said: "Team Guo is really a bodhisattva, these two bears should be two brothers." ”

Immediately, there was a soldier who could draw, took out a pen and paper to draw it, and later when he was not busy, he drew a picture album and published it, two bears, one called Xiong Da, and the other called Xiong Er. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Guo Sheng took out two dough cakes from his pocket, threw them to the bear, the bear sniffed it, and then picked up the dough and left happily.

Let's talk about the base camp, Liu Tang and the others immediately mobilized after receiving the report, and the atmosphere was very tense.
