Chapter 69: The Wolf Plague
The wind blew across his face, the green silk stroked, and the figure under the tree saw not only the man but also the white wolf's cold eyes, and the voice sounded flatly: "Do you know what a wolf plague is?" β
"Wolf Plague ......"
The girl who covered her mouth and wanted to vomit was stunned for a moment, living in the Central Plains Jingshi, even if she had been displaced when she was young, she had never heard of such a thing. looked subconsciously outside into the remnant sun, it was the subtle sound of countless wolf hooves stepping on the grass, converging together and turning into a rustle...... Creeping blue-gray all over the mountains.
My heart trembled.
The sticky blood flowed from the tip of the leaf to the soil, the corpse was being carried away, carried outside and lay down side by side, the thick smell of blood permeated the hills, Cai Yan thought that he could adapt to standing in a pool of blood, and occasionally inadvertently saw all kinds of stumps of broken hands and feet that were cleaned up on the mountain road, and even the broken internal organs of people, he still couldn't help but want to vomit out.
"Let's go down, it's getting dark......" Gongsun Zhi put his arm around her shoulder, his face expressionless.
The remnant sun fell the last touch of red in the sky, the wind blew through the grassland and blew more and more, the light of the torches swayed and swayed, at the end of the distant vision, the creeping black shadows rose one after another, and the green eyes of the rolling grassland night were flickering and staring at this side, and occasionally the sound of gnawing corpses came.
A moment later, several torches were thrown into the air and fell into the pyre that had been built, the flames slowly ignited, and then spread in all directions, forming huge pillars of fire that distorted the air, and the huge flames also illuminated nearly a thousand figures around.
On this grassland, almost all of them are immersed in an atmosphere of sorrow and slaughter, and the good women and more or less familiar companions slowly fade their appearances under the flames, and there are tears that fall from the men's eyes and wipe them away.
In front of the crowd, on a simple stretcher, was Dongfang Sheng, his robe was stained with blood and tatters, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously just cried. Gongsun Zhi, who was wearing a tall figure beside him, lowered his head and glanced at him, "Can you carry it?" β
On the stretcher, the scholar gritted his teeth and nodded.
Then someone came up and lifted his unconscious arm, and with a twist of his figure, the scimitar came out of its sheath and slashed down.
"Ahh
first screamed, and then gritted his teeth in a low voice, Dongfang Sheng's face was covered with fine beads of sweat for a moment, and when the blood splashed, the whole person fainted in pain. Over there, Cai Yan was the only one who closed his eyes and turned his head, his petite body trembling, he had often heard about how cruel the grassland was...... Now she seems to understand.
The arm snapped down, and several wolf riders hurriedly stepped forward to take out the hemostatic herbs prepared in advance and wrap them on the cloth, bandaging the scholar.
"Rest well." Gongsun Zhi whispered to the figure who was carried away, threw the broken arm on the ground into the fire, turned around, looked at the wolf rider behind him, and said simply: "Get on the horse." β
In the crowd, Cao Chun, who has always been sensible, stood up and arched his hand: "Leader, after a day of fighting, everyone is tired, and ...... for a long run at this time."
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Sheng passed by with a big knife and hit the other party's shoulder, his eyes were wet and red: "Don't go if you're afraid, kill and return mother-in-law and mother-in-law." β
ββ¦β¦ I am thinking about the lives of all men, and I am the first soldier for the sake of the generals. Cao Chun waved his fist and retorted loudly at his back.
Over there, the black war horse neighed, and Gongsun Zhi on horseback nodded at him, "You're right...... you said" paused for a moment, and looked over with cold eyes: "But you don't understand, the Xianbei people killed my brothers and sisters of Gongsun Zhi, not soldiers." β
"To avenge your loved ones, how can you stay overnightβ"
His voice resounded fiercely in the night sky, the wind whined and blew over, and in the next second, the horse rushed out, shook the reins highly, and roared: "You can still move, get on the horse!" β
In a moment, the rumbling hooves of the horses began to roar, and the green eyes of the surrounding near and far flickered, and then moved silently, stretching like a green galaxy flowing in the dark night.
Cao Chun stomped his feet fiercely, also turned over his horse, and pointed to the group of black mountain thieves and the Gentiles over there, "Protect the rear." After speaking, he didn't care whether the other party could understand or not, and shouted 'ride' in his mouth, and the war horse ran out and merged into the torrent.
***************************
Yanmen County to the north, Dai County to the east.
Darkness covered the land, and on the grasslands near and far, tent campfires were still burning, and occasionally voices were talking softly, which seemed warm and calm.
In the middle of the night, the warriors returned in a rout.
Looking at the dejected knights, the men and women of the tribe did not dare to speak loudly, and the bereaved could only hide in the tent and cry and curse in a low voice under the blanket, and five thousand people attacked a group of horse thieves, and they would fight like this, which was a lot of people doubting the ability of the starting degree, and there were also leaders of various small tribes.
In the silence of the tribe, which stretched for miles, dogs occasionally barked in the middle of the night, and then their whimpering stopped. A tent lifted the curtain, the Xianbei girl in a leather jacket came out in a daze, walked a short distance behind the tent, went to untie the belt and take off her pants, when the sound of water washed the ground, there was a sound of clattering bones in the night, the girl sobered up for a moment, and when she turned her head, she saw a pair of green eyes staring at her.
The girl stood up tremblingly, forgetting to put on her pants, and was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
The gray fluttering claws entered the field of vision, the wolf's snout cracked to reveal its sharp fangs, saliva dripped, and it pounced in a blink of an eye, and the figure wanted to run back, but its neck was in pain, and it only had time to shout: "It hurts!" And there was no sound.
A tent around was opened, someone heard the sound, carefully looking for the direction of the sound, vaguely saw something in the dark, the pupils suddenly contracted, and it was his eldest daughter lying on the ground, who was staring at him with wide eyes and turned her head to look at him, her body was shaking, her lips opened and closed slightly, and next to her body, two black shadows were tearing organs in the abdominal cavity, and the girl was not dead at this time.
ββ¦β¦ Wolf... Wolves..."
The man took half a step back, and there was a sound of slapping, and the black shadow in front of him who was tearing and chewing stopped, turned the wolf's head, and his mouth was full of blood and minced flesh and skin, and after spotting someone, one of them turned around and made an attacking gesture, letting out a low roar.
"Fight the wolfβ"
At last the man shouted, and the moment the voice shouted, the black shadow pounced, and the claws grabbed a handful of his open leather jacket, and the intestines flowed out, and the corpse fell to the ground, and the wolf pounced on the throat of the prey and tore it hard.
In the tribe, the night watchman who warmed up around the bonfire picked up his weapons and rushed over, shouting at the top of his throat as he ran, for the herdsmen living on the grassland, the wolf is not only a terrible enemy, but also a formidable animal, from hunting to plundering, most of the tactics are learned from the wolves, but it does not mean that they will be close.
By the time the warning was issued, death had already begun on the outskirts of the tribe, and the lurking shadows rushed through the man-made fences, first attacking the sheep shed and cattle pens, or simply tearing open the tents, one or two...... Even more wolves bit the sleeping Xianbei herdsmen, screaming and blood splattered on the blankets.
The howl of the wolf sounded in the grassland.
Through the fence of a blue-gray running between the tents, some herdsmen reacted, came out with spears, and were thrown to the ground by the rushing wolf, the dead gray eyes were reflected, countless wolves were a chaotic rush out of the Xianbei herdsmen, and even saw the baby under the wolf's mouth.
Soon, the east side of the entire tribe of 10,000 people was boiling, and a large number of Xianbei soldiers organized themselves and rushed towards that side, probably to drive away the wolves.
β¦β¦
Outside, the war horse sneezed, Gongsun Zhi smeared the wolf urine in the sheepskin bag on the horse and his own big coat, and the surrounding wolf riders were also doing the same, after throwing the water bag, he looked at the boiling and chaotic tribe over there, and said: "It's our turn." Immediately, he drew his scimitar.
Clamped the horse's belly and rushed out.
The horse's hooves churned, and then shook the earth with a deafening roar, and more than 700 wolves around him roared fiercely: "Ho! β
In the chaotic tent, an old man was looking at what was happening in the east, and then felt a vibration under his feet, and then the sound of horses' hooves rolled over like thunder, turned around, and faced a knight with a bow, and an arrow in front of him, and the old body fell directly into the tent.
The war horse trampled directly on the tent, and Gongsun Zhi slashed the man fleeing in panic with a knife, licked the blood from the knife, and pointed ahead, the huge, luxurious tent in the middle of the tribe.
"Kill the past, young and old."
