readx; As the minutes and seconds passed, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info compared to the wolf pack, Wei Hong hopes to foresee a small group of Turkic cavalry. First, the enemy cavalry knows how to run if they can't fight, and they won't fight to the end. Second, these people around Wei Hong are all good players, and they can almost completely win in the face of ordinary enemy cavalry teams. On the other hand, wolves are small, fast, and extremely aggressive. Although the wolves in this neighborhood are basically coyotes, not as good as the big bad wolves in South America in later generations, they cannot be ignored. The wolf has a strong deterrent effect on horses, and can drive away and disturb horses, so that cavalry cannot effectively control horses. And the individual wolf is too small, it is very difficult to sit on the back of a horse to cut the wolf, and if you get off the horse, you are not an opponent of the wolf. People are always human beings, no matter how strong they are, when there is no hot weapon to assist, they are all floating clouds in front of wild beasts.

Listening to the wolves' movements getting bigger and bigger, Wei Hong swallowed his spit, and said silently at the stroke: "Do we have to stand here stupidly, waiting for the wolves to come?" Can't you run? ”

Wei Hong has no experience in dealing with wolves, the last time Wei Hong and Yan Ruyu parted, they were besieged by wolves, and they still had to rely on Cheng Chumo to save him in order to save the day. In this regard, Cheng Chumo has much more experience. Cheng Chumo explained: "In a short period of time, the speed of the horse is faster than that of the wolf, but the wolf's endurance is strong, and the horse cannot outrun the wolf no matter what. There are still more than five miles away from the capital, and if the wolves are coming at us, we will definitely not be able to escape. On the contrary, if you face the wolf pack head-on, the odds will be greater. As long as you don't get bitten by the wolf, protect the mount, and don't let the wolf put the mount down, we will be invincible! ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong suddenly realized, so he stopped speaking, and waited for the appearance of the wolves with Cheng Chumo and others. During this period, Wei Hong crossed his legs on the horse's back as Cheng Chumo said, trying to avoid being bitten by the wolf and dragged off the horse's back.

The footsteps of the wolves were getting closer and closer, and from the dense footsteps, the wolf pack was large and strong, and there were at least twenty wolves. Such a powerful wolf pack is that even the tigers dare not provoke at will.

Wei Hong's eyes stared at the direction of the wolf's footsteps, and after a while, he saw a black line faintly appear in the distance, and then the black line turned into a black dot, and in a moment, twenty wolves appeared in Wei Hong's sight. Wei Hong knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and when dealing with wolves, he handed it over to Cheng Chumo and them, and Wei Hong could hide if he could.

As the wolves got closer and closer, Cheng Chumo ordered in a loud voice: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng was silent, and twenty-one shiny sabers were raised high into the air. Just when a big battle between the horse team and the wolves was about to take place. Cheng Chumo suddenly shouted: "Wait a while!" Seeing that the wolves had arrived, Cheng Chumo stopped the defense at this critical juncture, which made Wei Hong very puzzled. Just when Wei Hong wanted to ask what was going on, he saw that the wolves ignored Wei Hong and the others and passed through the gap between the horses. Although the horses screamed again and again, they were indifferent to the horses and ran towards Wei Hong's rear.

"What's going on?" Seeing the wolves gradually moving away, Wei Hong asked suspiciously.

Cheng Chumo said with a solemn face: "It seems that something is driving away the wolves, these wolves are not predators, but fleeing for their lives!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong's heart rose to his throat again. What drives wolves away? Surely a larger carnivore, a tiger? But I haven't heard of a tiger in this area, so what can it be other than a tiger?

At this moment, there was a burst of eagle chirping in the sky. Wei Hong looked up, but saw that a flock of eagles appeared above his head at some point, and there were nearly ten of them. The size of the eagle was very large, and Wei Hong couldn't recognize what kind of breed it was, so he asked Cheng Chumo, only to learn that these eagles were goshawks specially trained by hunters to hunt.

The goshawk is large in size and extremely aggressive. Not to mention ordinary birds and rabbits, foxes and coyotes are all targets of goshawks. As far as Wei Hong knows, there are Uyghurs who are good at using eagles to hunt in China, and in this era, the ancestors of the Uyghurs are the Hui who were defeated some time ago. Seeing these eagles, Wei Hong instinctively thought that it may be that the relationship between Datang and Hui has been good recently, and the two countries have come and gone with each other, so many Hui people have also set foot in the territory of Datang. Recently, it seems that I have heard that the imperial court has allocated funds to clear the beasts in this vicinity, but I never thought that among the hired hunters, there are actually Hui hunters.

Under Wei Hong's gaze, ten goshawks began to swoop towards the wolves. When he was about to approach the wolves, he suddenly stretched out his wings and slowed down, and his sharp claws like sharp knives grabbed the wolf's buttocks. The wolf is not muddy, and when it is about to be caught, it turns around and bites the eagle at lightning speed. Helpless, the eagle could only give up the attack and fly back into the sky, looking for an opportunity. It's not the eagle that really scares the wolves, it's the hunter who trains it. The role of the eagle is only to slow down the wolves, and when the hunters catch up, they can wipe out the wolves.

Moments later, wolves and eagles disappeared from view. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Wei Hong turned his head to look in the direction where the wolves were running, and saw ten Hui people in strange costumes running towards this side. When he got closer, Wei Hong couldn't help but be moved when he saw the appearance of the Hui hunter clearly. The dress of these Hui hunters is similar to the 'Vikings' in Wei Hong's impression. Despite the heat, he wore a fur vest, a crown of feathers, a bow and arrows on his shoulder, and a saber in his hand, which was very fierce. They are more like beasts than beasts.

Nine of the hunters bypassed Wei Hong and continued to chase the wolves. Another hunter stopped beside Wei Hong, copied a very lame Tang dialect, and said, "Brother, have you brought water?" Can you lend us a little? We have been ordered to clear the beasts in the vicinity, and we have been chasing this pack of wolves for a day, and we have not eaten a drop of water, and our thirst is unbearable. ”

Although it is to hunt wild beasts, it is also to maintain the safety of one party, and Wei Hong naturally has to support it vigorously. I hurriedly went to ask the guards to see who brought the water, but everyone shook their heads and shrugged. It's also true, the purpose of Wei Hong's trip is to walk the horse, come out quickly, and go back quickly, so there is no need to prepare water at all.

Wei Hong smiled apologetically from the hunter and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, we didn't bring any water." ”

The hunter was not displeased in the slightest, just nodded, hugged his fist at Wei Hong, and said, "Excuse me!" With that, he prepared to ride his horse to catch up with the team in front of him. And just as the hunter was about to leave, his eyes inadvertently fell on the Luohe beautiful horse under Wei Hong's crotch. At the moment when he saw the Luohe beautiful horse, the hunter's body trembled suddenly, and he turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt at the feet of the Luohe beautiful horse, and made a five-body bow.
