Chapter 9 III Hunting
Originally, Li Tianhao just wanted to go out hunting with a few generals to relax, and relieve the depression after the slaughter of the city by the Vera Fortress. But I never thought that this unexpected victory made the soldiers' emotions boil to the extreme, almost all the soldiers could not calm down their excitement, heard that they could hunt is simply a treasure, and they asked to participate, even the always expressionless Muller said that this happened to be an excellent opportunity to train cavalry tactics, so Li Tianhao had to agree, so things evolved into a large-scale hunting activity. For this reason, the Tatars and the 500 defenders who were ordered to stay behind lamented bitterness and lamented that they had lost their chance.
Due to the expansion of the scale, the original plan to travel that day was naturally lost. Early the next morning, an army of 4,000 began to march into the mountains and forests, looking for hunting grounds. The last chosen hunting ground was unlike any other place in the surrounding area, with sparse trees and a wide view that facilitated cavalry movements, and it was said to have large game and even lions.
When Woolley heard that there was a lion, he was very excited: "Everyone, let's have a competition, the one who hunts the lion wins, and the one who hunts the other big guys is second, and whoever only hits a rabbit pheasant or the like, then he will be punished, how about it?" β
Jimda immediately agreed to the proposal, and clamored to compete with Woolley. Only Lorencis said with a worried face: "This place is close to the border of the Duchy of Palci, everyone should be careful not to enter their territory by mistake, the Palci people have a very smart nose, and it will not be fun to be discovered by them." β
Woolley, who is a descendant of Palci, immediately retorted: "Where are the Palchi people so ruthless, you see how righteous I am!" Even if I meet them, I'm still their hometown, and everyone is just catching up. β
Li Tianhao said with a smile: "Brother Woolley, having said that, let's be careful, after all, it is not good for us to have a bad relationship with Palci, and just one subbase army is enough for us to have a headache." β
Seeing Li Tianhao say this, Woolley had to agree, and in the recent victories of the battle, Woolley had already obeyed this brother's words, and he did not disobey it at all.
There is basically no doubt about who will come out on top in this hunt, and with Li Tianhao's archery skills, unless he can't touch any prey, he will undoubtedly become the winner. Jimda, Woolley and Rowlandsis will each lead their own teams in a battle for second place, hoping for better luck. Muller and Alam were guarding Li Tianhao, and the strange thing was that Senas also followed Li Tianhao's actions, which made Li Tianhao feel a little surprised.
On the contrary, Alam guessed the reason: "Uncle, you are not only good at close-range fighting, but you can't shoot arrows, right?" β
Xenas glared at him viciously, without squeaking. However, his actions soon proved Alam's inference, and Xenas was not as accurate as he could be, except that his bow was hard enough and his range was very long. After shooting a dozen arrows and hitting only one small antelope, Alam laughed so hard that he forgot that he had not shot anything.
Time flew by, and soon it was noon. During this time, Xenas finally hit a boar and a large deer, which was considered to have regained some face, for which he constantly mocked the unsuccessful Alam in revenge; Mueller, who already had more than a dozen prey, silently watched the quarrel between the two and followed closely behind Li Tianhao. Li Tianhao's capture can no longer be described in many words, in the words of Xenas, he shaved the heads of the animals in this area, and none of the ones he targeted survived. The only pity is that the lion has never been found, at this time Li Tianhao has no intention of hunting other prey, he only wants to hunt a lion in order to draw a complete end to today's hunting activities.
After another search, the lion was still not found. However, Alam gave up the use of bows and arrows, and with his light horseback riding skills, he caught up with an antelope and sealed his throat with a sword, which was worth the trip.
Li Tianhao looked around, looking for a target. At this time, Muller Zema came to his side and said in a low voice: "Young master, this place is quite close to the border of Palchi, please pay attention to it." β
Li Tianhao nodded slightly, and was about to turn the horse back, when suddenly the corner of his eye swept into the distance, and a horse was galloping towards him.
"Is that our man, Mueller?"
"Probably not. Young Lord! Look at the back of that horse! β
Li Tianhao also noticed that behind the knight, there were several lions following! Li Tianhao hurriedly took out his bow and arrows and shouted, "That person is in danger!" Muller, Xenas follow me to save people! β
Before he could finish speaking, Lee had already ridden away, and Muller and Xenas drew their weapons and followed.
"Boss! You look down on people too much! Alam yelled and followed, and the soldiers who followed him slowed down by half a beat, and rode out.
The knight's condition was already in dire straits, and the two lionesses had pressed behind him, and they were about to grab the horse's legs. At the last moment, an arrow struck one of the lioness in the left rib, and the lioness rolled aside with a wail. The remaining lioness hesitated for a moment, and then another arrow struck, and it hit the lioness in the neck.
The knight on the horse was also taken aback, and immediately found Li Tianhao who rushed to the front. At this time, the male lion behind rushed up, roared and pounced on the knight's back, and the knight hurriedly shrank down when he saw that the situation was not good, and covered the back of his neck with his arm. At this time, Li Tianhao Pegasus arrived, jumped hard, hit the lion's body from the air, hugged it, and rolled to the side with the lion.
In the next moment, the five lionesses who followed behind had also arrived, and at the same time, Muller waved his twin swords, and Xenas joined the battle group with a giant sword, and the two lioness had already been sacrificed with blood in their hands. Alam was quick to follow, and with a single blow of his sword, he stabbed the third lioness into the back of the neck, and the lioness fell to the ground and died without snorting. The fourth lioness jumped high and opened its jaw to bite Alam's neck, but was split in half by Xenas, and Muller's knife had already cut off the head of the fifth lioness by this time. It was only at this time that the soldiers who followed behind rushed over.
The knight was obviously stunned by this group of people, and the four people in front of him had solved the eight lions in an instant! In front of them, lions are like sheep to be slaughtered! And the three lion slaughtering warriors didn't even look at the knight, and directly pounced on Li Tianhao, who was pressed by the lion.
All their worries melted into obscurity the moment they approached the lion, as the three of them saw a bloody tip of the sword peeking out of the lion's back. All three let out a sigh of relief, but heard a curse from below the lion: "Muller! Xenas! Get the lion out of the way! β
When MΓΌller heard this, he hurriedly jumped off his horse, but Xenas sat on his horse and laughed: "I don't believe that the lion can hold you down!" You can come out with a flick of your hand! β
While speaking, Li Tianhao had already crawled out from under the lion's corpse, and his whole body was dyed bright red by the lion's blood, only to see him say angrily: "Hurry up and get the wound medicine!" I'm hurt! β
